| 1451 | Arthur Hiles was born just two weeks prior to his mother's death. His mother's dying wish was that her friend Mary Ann Doane (nee Schwoob), wife of John Harris Doane, would raise her son. Thus Arthur was adopted by the Doane family and took the name John Wesley Arthur Doane. | Doane, John Wesley Arthur Hiles Or (I4937)
|
| 1452 | Arthur is shown in the 1880 census in Rensselaer, New York, USA as being 29 years old. His occupation is shown as "insurance agent" and his first son, Arthur, is shown as being born in Canada. The younger Arthur's birth registration in St. Catharine's, Ontario, Canada shows his father as an insurance agent. In 1880 Arthur Sr is residing nearby to John Wright Prangley from Branch 3. Arthur's wife is shown as widowed in 1900 in Washington, DC, USA with their son Osborn W. Prangley (transcribed as "Bangley"). According to this same entry, they immigrated (presumably from Canada) in 1872. Arthur's birth has not been identified and he has not been found in any English census. (The family of John Wright Prangley has not been found in 1861 in England either.) Onomastics and geography would suggest strongly that Arthur belongs to the same extended family as John Wright Prangley, although they cannot be brothers. | Prangley, Arthur (I12451)
|
| 1453 | Arthur's gravestone lists him as "Dr. J. Arthur Stewart". | Stewart, Dr. James Arthur (I16649)
|
| 1454 | Arza was married firstly to Marilda McCallum, by whom he had one daughter, secondly to his first cousin Marilda Merritt, by whom he had three children, and thirdly to his distant cousin, Mary Jane Bridgman. It is a strange concidence that his first two wives had the same first name and his mother and sister's names are only one letter different. O----?, Anson? BRIDGEMAN, 22, Caistor, same, s/o Joseph M. & Matilda BRIDGEMAN, married M. MCCOLLOM?, 18, Gainsborough, Grimsby, d/o John & Hannah MCCOLLOM?, witn: Mark?

|
| 1455 | As a boy, William attended Guildford Royal Grammar School in Guildford, Surrey, England. He entered the army and served during WWI as a Major in the 2nd Battalion, Cameron Highlanders and was awarded the Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George and the Distinguished Service Order. He afterwards retired to Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, England where he was County Librarian and a member of Somerset Council. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) William married to his first cousin, once removed, Frances Alice Debnam Collis. | Stewart, Lieut. Col. William Murray (I18761)
|
| 1456 | As a child George sat next to Robert Louis Stevenson in class at the Edinburgh Academy (they were seated alphabetically). As an adult, George would read bedtime stories to his grandchildren from his "friend Louis". George was a partner in the trading firm of Henckell DuBuisson which provided supplies to estates throughout the West Indies. He acquired estates in Antigua which his son Alexander went to run in the 1920s. He was made a Commander of the British Empire for his role in founding the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture (ICTA) in Trinidad in the 1920s. His son Alexander was the first student at ICTA. The George Moody-Stuart school in St Kitts is named after George. | Moody-Stuart, George MBE (I11405)
|
| 1457 | As a child Robert worked as a bottler. (1881 Census) In 1891 Robert was living with his second wife, Margaret Hunter, however his son, Abraham, from his first marriage, was living with his maternal grandmother. The family came to Canada in order to bring son Bill to Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children in order to be treated for polio. Robert was buried from the Wallace Funeral Home in Hamilton. His last known residence was 181 Balmoral Ave South, Hamilton, Ontario. Robert and Margaret lived on Wilson Street in Hamilton. Whether the street name had anything to do with a member of Robert's mother's family or is pure coincidence is not known. | Duncan, Robert Wilson (I5395)
|
| 1458 | As a young boy James was sent to France for safe keeping by his father, King Robert III. Regretably, King Henry IV of England got word and James' transport was intercepted. James was captured and held prisoner by the English. James succeeded his father as King of Scotland in 1406 while he was being held prisoner in England. In his absence his cousin Murdac Stewart, Duke of Albany ruled Scotland. When James was released from captivity he returned to Scotland and had Murdac Stewart executed along with all of his sons in order to remove any potential rivals to the throne. However the soldiers were not wholey successful and Murdac's youngest son, James Mohr Stewart, escaped. [See notes on James Mohr Stewart for further details.] King James I was assassinated by his uncle, Walter, Earl of Atholl, Sir Robert Graham, and other conspirators. | Stewart, James King James I of Scots (I16554)
|
| 1459 | As befitting his name, James Law Steuart was a lawyer in New York, USA. He married his first cousin, Sarah Bartow Steuart. | Steuart, James Law (I22301)
|
| 1460 | As Daniel is substitute name for Donald then it may be that this Donald died young prior to the birth of his younger brother, Daniel. | Stewart, Donald (I15685)
|
| 1461 | As Duncan did not inherit the family property, it is presumed that he died young. | Stewart, Duncan (I15753)
|
| 1462 | As Elizabeth was married in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, while her husband resided in Kincardine, Perthshire, Scotland, Elizabeth is presumed to have come from Comrie parish. It's certain that she was born there, though the Dewar surname was common in Comrie. As she does not appear in Scottish census records, and Canadian census records only record her place of birth as "Scotland" it is difficult to confirm her place of birth. No confirmed birth record has been found for her. The only close birth is Elizabeth Dewar, bap 28 APR 1800 in Killin, Perth, Scotland, daughter of Alexander Dewar and Mary McDiarmid. | Dewar, Elizabeth or Helen (I4875)
|
| 1463 | As John's birth predates his parents' marriage by six years then he was either illegitimate or belongs to another couple of the same name. | Stewart, John (I16974)
|
| 1464 | As John's brother James is recorded in Stewarts of the South as the only surviving male then it is suggested that John died young. | Stewart, John (I17006)
|
| 1465 | As of Dec 2006 she is still alive at age 101. | Howie, Katie (I7961)
|
| 1466 | As per Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland. See that work for details. | VcEan, Agnes NicInnes oig VcInnes (I23818)
|
| 1467 | As Robert is mentioned in SOS, then he must have been alive at the time of its writing, ca. 1815. | Stuart, Robert 1st of Glenhead (I18746)
|
| 1468 | As Robert is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South it is presumed that he died young. | Stewart, Robert (I17997)
|
| 1469 | As Robert's brother James is recorded in Stewarts of the South as the only surviving male then it is suggested that Robert died young. | Stewart, Robert (I17994)
|
| 1470 | As ruler of the Welsh kingdom of Gwynedd, Owain was ambitious, winning back most of Ceredigion from the Normans after defeating them at Cardigan in 1136. He was halted by King Henry II in 1157 and acknowledged English overlordship. He was described by Welsh bards as "in screaming battle, cool, yet burning war". | Gruffydd, Owain ap (I7293)
|
| 1471 | As this daughter is not named in the OPR, she is presumed to have died at birth. | Galloch, Daughter (I6568)
|
| 1472 | As this family is not found in the 1851 census it is presumed that they all died together or perhaps emigrated. | Prangley, Jonah (I12851)
|
| 1473 | As Walter's brother James is recorded in Stewarts of the South as the only surviving male then it is suggested that Walter died young. It is worth noting the distinct gap in children following 1745. | Stewart, Walter (I18364)
|
| 1474 | As William appears not to have inherited either of the Portnellan farms then he presumably died young or emigrated. | Stewart, William (I18451)
|
| 1475 | As William's name is not preserved in family histories, it is presumed that he died as a child. | Stewart, William (I18488)
|
| 1476 | As with all of the Tasker children, Ester went by her middle name "Hilda". Hilda and Clair had no children. | Tasker, Ester Hilda (I19075)
|
| 1477 | Assuming this line has been correctly accounted, it would appear that Archibald Stewart was a descendant of the Stewarts of Grantully. (See notes on son Donald for more information.) | Stewart, Archibald (I15345)
|
| 1478 | At about this time (17th century), legend tells of an Irish princess of the O'Conner family, Sheila NaGeira, who settled in Carbonear after being rescued by privateer Peter Easton and marrying his first officer, Gilbert Pike. Much is known about Easton and his exploits, but evidence of NaGeira has yet to be found. The legend's combination of romance, pirates, and New World adventure has inspired much research and numerous works of fiction on the topic. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonear) | Pike, Edward S (I26802)
|
| 1479 | At age 17, he won the Military Cross in France in WWI. Later he became head of the Antigua Sugar Estates Syndicate in the mid-20th Century. It was this Alexander against whom Sir Vera Bird (later prime minister of Antigua) led a general strike in 1951. Sir Alexander was the first person to propose black members to the Town Club in St Johns, Antigua, and his family was the first white family in Antigua to have a black family doctor (who went on to become Sir Luther Wynter). | Moody-Stuart, Sir Alexander OBE 6th of Annat in Rait (I11427)
|
| 1480 | At her second marriage in 1913 she is recorded as a widow. In LDS 1881 transcriptions she is mistranscribed as "Sholta Tasker". In 1911 she is residing as a widow with her son Joseph and his family. | Dent, Charlotte (I4842)
|
| 1481 | At his birth there is a note in the registration that says, "Neglect of ~~orcuts [? difficult to read]" In 1921, Robert was residing in Duncan, Cowichan, Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada with his wife and two children. He was employed as a bookkeeper. He and his family were all Roman Catholic. His death registration in Duncan, BC indicates that he was formerly of Campbell River. | Tait, Robert Ord (I22740)
|
| 1482 | At his peak William was Lord of Bramber, Gower, Abergavenny, Brecknock, Builth, Radnor, Kington, Limerick, Glamorgan, Monmouth and Gwynllwg as well as the three castles of Skenfrith, Grosmont and Whitecastle. William inherited Bramber, Builth and Radnor from his father; Brecknock and Abergavenny through his mother. He was the strongest of the March Lords involved in constant war with the Welsh and other lords. He was particularly hated by the Welsh for the massacre of three Welsh princes, their families and their men which took place during a feast at his castle of Abergavenny in 1175. He was sometimes known as the "Ogre of Abergavenny". One of the Normans' foremost warriors, he fought alongside King Richard the Lionheart at Chalus in 1199 when King Richard received his fatal wound. William received Limerick in 1201 from King John. He was also given custody of Glamorgan, Monmouth and Gwynllwg in return for large payments. William captured Arthur, Count of Brittany at Mirebeau in 1202 and was in charge of his imprisonment for King John. He was well rewarded in February 1203 with the grant of Gower. He may have had knowledge of the murder of Arthur and been bribed to silence by John with the city of Limerick in July. His honours reached their peak when he was made Sheriff of Herefordshire by John for 1206-7. He had held this office under Richard from 1192 to 1199. His fall began almost immediately. William was stripped of his office as bailiff of Glamorgan and other custodies by King John in 1206/7. Later he was deprived of all his lands and, sought by King John in Ireland, he returned to Wales and joined the Welsh Prince Llewelyn in rebellion. He fled to France in 1210 via Shoreham "in the habit of a beggar" and died in exile near Paris. Despite intending to be interred at St. John's, Brecon, he was buried in the Abbey of St. Victoire, Paris by Stephen Langton, the Archbishop of Canterbury, another of John's chief opponents who was also taking refuge there. His wife and son William were murdered by John, possibly starved to death at Windsor Castle. | de Braose, Baron William (I4084)

|
| 1484 | At least one of the male descendants of this branch were known as "Drummond alias Galloch". In fact the descendants of Duncan's son Donald Drummond-alias-Galloch, who remained on the farm, and are presumed to be the senior surviving domestic branch, went solely by the surname of Drummond hereafter. It seems highly plausible that the family surname is, in fact, Drummond and that Galloch is simply a nickname-cum-surname. | Galloch, Duncan (I6570)
|

| 1487 | At the time of her birth, Dorothy's father, William Angus, was working as a grocer's assistant and residing at 4 Mill Street in Lancaster, Lancashire, England. Dorothy has not been found in the 1901 census. Only her father is listed. Dorothy is not shown with her mother and her mother's new husband in the 1911 census. Only her sister Margaret is shown. Dorothy Angus married her first-cousin, Herbert Angus, son of her uncle John Angus. | Angus, Dorothy (I23361)
|
| 1488 | At the time of her marriage to Alexander Stewart, Annie was employed as a nurse. | Stewart, Annie C (I15130)
|
| 1489 | At the time of his daughter Jemima's wedding in 1844, William Jones was a collier in Mold. His birth year given here is merely a guess. | Williams, William (I20193)
|
| 1490 | At the time of his daughter Mary's birth, Murdoch was a Private in the 79th Regiment of Foot.. | Ferguson, Murdoch (I5963)
|
| 1491 | At the time of their marriage, John was recorded as residing at 86 Queens Road, Packham, London, Middlesex, England, working as a chemist. | Brown, John (I1837)
|
| 1492 | At their marriage, John Stewart is described being from Kilmadock parish and Sara Ferguson from Callander parish. John's death is recorded in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions in Callander Cemeter adjacent to his Brackland cousins: "194 John STEWART, late tenant (at) Wester Torrie, died MAR 1808, age 63, son John 25 JAN 1867, age 78 (and his wife Janet BUCHANAN 24 FEB 1875, age 64, and their son John 11 DEC 1848, age 6 years) JS 1821 SF." The initials "JS & SF" would refer to John Stewart and Sara Ferguson. The rest of this family has not been found in later records. They may have emigrated. | Stewart, John in Wester Torry (I17224)
|
| 1493 | At this point the Drummond ancestry begins to move from history to legend. Maurice is said to have accompanied Margaret (future Queen of Wessex) from Hungary. He is reputed to be the grandson of Andreas, King of Hungary, and a descendant of Atilla the Hun. | Drummond, Maurice 1st of Drummond Castle (I8021)
|
| 1494 | At this point, I have not bothered to follow the Irish King Lists in detail any further back that Conn of the Hundred Battles for a number of reasons. Firstly, these genealogies are legendary and are of questionable accuracy. Secondly, my software will not recognize dates earlier than 100 AD, and thirdly, it's just too much work at this point to enter all the details. So, for now, I will simply include the names of these early kings and their legendary ancestors. | Rachtmar, Fedhlimidh (I13303)
|
| 1495 | Augustine Brown is buried in the Old Brick Church Cemetery, Eaton, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, USA, along with his parents. They are the only Browns in that cemetery. | Brown, Augustine (I22060)
|
| 1496 | Aunt Rose was a kind and gentle woman. She had a bird named "Ricky" who could talk. She lived most of her life as a widow in Hamilton, having outlived her husband by 58 years. | Allen, Rose (I281)
|
| 1497 | Aunt Stella was described as an "oddball". She didn't believe in banks, and didn't trust them, so she apparently kept all her money on her person at all times. | Winters, Stella (I20271)

| 1499 | Automobile accident just east of Snoqualmie Pass (24.1 miles w. of Cle Elum). | Cadman, Alta Eleanor (I2108)
|
| 1500 | Avelina was abducted by Duncan MacGilberta, Earl of Angus, and forced to marry him. Her surname would not actually be "Stewart". She would have had no surname and would have been styled as the daughter of Alan, Steward of the King of Scots. Stewart is used here only to indicate her relationship to the family later known as Stewart. | Stewart, Avelina (I15305)
