| 1605 | Capt. John Glas Stewart of Benmore (of the family of Coll of Appin), described as "brother of Acharn and cousin and brother in law of Stewart of Ardsheal was a Captain in the Appin Regiment and fell at Culloden." John is described in Stewarts of the South as "descended of the family of Ardsheil, the most respectable Branch of Appin Stewarts. He was know by the name of Iain Glac (sic "Glas") mhac Iain mhic Alastair. (John "The Grey", son of John, grandson of Alexander.) [John] gathered his substance by cattle dealing, brewing whisky, and by other pieces of industry. [He] purchased Benmore in Glendochard from Drummond of Perth. [It was] formerly the property of Campbell of Coirchaorach of the same place, also Campbell of Licks [in] Killin parish." Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "John Stewart of Benmore, was commonly known as “Iain glas MhacIain MhicAlastair” and obtained the lands of Invervenacher, Corrycherich and the forest of Benmore, all within the parish of Killin, from James Drummond, Duke of Perth, on 20 February 1744. He served in the Appin regiment during the Jacobite rising of 1745/6, and was killed with many of his kinsmen at the battle of Culloden on 16 April 1746." According to Duncan Stewart 1739, John also purchased Ledcreich. Duncan says: "Duncan of Ardsheal married first a daughter of John Stewart, brother to Innerhaden, and secondly, a daughter to Maclean of Ardgowan. He had six sons and several daughters, viz 1 John, his son and heir, 2 Alexander, killed in the attack made at the church of Dunkeld, soon after King James, in 1689, who had five sons, the eldest John of Aucharn was father to Alexander now of Aucharn, and to John Stewart*, now of Ledcreich, 3 A[illegible, could be Andrew], 4 William, 5 James, and 6 Duncan, killed at Dunkeld, with his brother Alexander. *He purchased these lands from Patrick Stewart, late of Ledcreich, who is now settled in Canada." (sic, Patrick Stewart went to Cape Fear, North Carolina in what was then still a British Colony. Just before departing, Patrick sold Ledcreich and Stronslany to John Glas Stewart.) | Stewart, Capt.

|
| 1607 | Captain Archibald Stewart resided in a house on the Annat property. He was a second cousin of the contemporary laird of Annat, Alexander Stewart, 4th of Annat. He is frequently recorded in online genealogies incorrectly as "Archibald Stewart of Annat." Archibald's mother's name is not given in the OPR. Archibald was a farmer in Annat. Archibald is listed in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Kilmadock cemetery: 283b 1732. Archibald STEWART, tenant in Annat, died 10 JUL 173[5], age 75, wife Helen LAW, also interred here, son Robert tenant in Annat, died 1776 age 70 (his wife Agnes Galbraith died same year and month aged [61 or 64], daughter Margaret 16 DEC 1822, age 71 (and her husband, Duncan FERGUSON, feuar (at) Doune). (Mitchell notes: see Kilmadock OPR - they also had a son, Archibald, bap 1747). Duncan FERGUSON, 1 JAN 1798, age 66, interred (at) Callander, their son Alexander merchant (in) Lancaster, died there 5 JAN 1815, age 56, Archibald, born JUN 1784, died age 18 months, Duncan born NOV 1786, died 1789, William merchant (in) Lancaster, died there 22 SEP 1819, age 30. (on pedestal) AS HL. Archibald is mentioned repeatedly throughout the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) and is the progenitor of every family tree submitted in evidence. In nearly every instance he is incorrectly referred to as having been the laird of Annat in his time and the debate centres around whether his son John was lawful or natural. However, there is no indication in any other sources that Archibald was laird of Annat, but rather, merely a senior tenant in Annat. As the estate of Annat was in flux during this period, it's possible there's more to this than we currently know. Robert Stewart of Ardvorlich submitted the following testimony to the Glassingall dispute: "Declares that he has often heard it stated both by his father and by other parties members of the Annat family, that the Stewarts of Glassingall were illegitimately descended from the Stewarts of Annat and he believes their descent arose from Archibald Stewart of Annat and the Great grandfather of Alexander Stewart first of Glassingall. Declares that he has also heard it stated and believes it to be true that the descendants of this Archibald were settled as tenants in a farm upon the estate of Annat and that a branch of the family was afterwords removed and settled in Landrick where they co-tenanted until the death of the late Archibald Stewart some months ago." Robert Stewart of Ardvorlich's account seems to be accurate and is in agreement with the account given by Duncan Stewart 1739 as well as OPR data and other sources, and is the version we have presented here. The other Glassingall estate claimants were mistakenly confusing Archibald as being "of Annat" rather than "in Annat." The claim that the Lendrick, Ballacaish and Glassingall families all descend from an illegitimate branch is persistent, and seems more correctly presented in Ardvorlich's account, rather than the others. It appears more likely that it was not Archibald's son, John, who may have been illegitimate, but, rather, his father, John, son of Archibald, younger of Annat. With the repetition of the names John, son of Archibald, in consecutive generations the confusion and conflation is understandable when viewed from several generations later. | Stewart, Capt. Archibald in Annat (I15316)

| 1608 | Captain William Debnam MacLaren Stewart, younger of Advorlich, was born on the 15th April 1893 in Kanpur, Bengal, India. He was educated at Wellington College which was founded in 1853 in memory to the Duke of Wellington. It is one of England's largest and most exclusive public schools. He joined the Black Watch in 1914 at Aldershot, and soon after was posted to the 2nd Battalion in India. On the declaration of war, he left with his battalion for France, reaching the Western Front in October, 1914. He took part in various actions, including Neuve Chapelle and Richbourg I'Avone, where he was wounded. He returned to the front in October, 1915, when he got his company, and transferred to the 1st battalion. He was killed in action aged 23 years at the Battle of the Somme, near Fleurs, on 25th September, 1916. He was mentioned in Sir Douglas Haig's dispatch on 9th April 1916. Captain Stewart was the eldest son of Major William Stewart, 13th of Advorlich, and Lily MacLaren Stewart. Lily MacLaren Stewart's grandmother was Ruth Stewart, of the Stewarts of Drumvaich, of the Annat family. Captain Stewart was also the grandson of Colonel John Stewart, R.A.,C.I.E., 12th of Advorlich, and is remembered in the Dundurn Parish Church roll of honour.

| 1611 | Caroline “Carrie” Matilda Browne (1864-1934) was named for Agnes’ Aunt Caroline Matilda Stewart (1794-1882), who in turn was named for Queen Caroline Matilda of Denmark, sister of King George III of England. Alexander Stewart, the father of Duncan John Stewart and Caroline Matilda Stewart, had been a footman for this Queen of Denmark, who died in 1775. So anyway, Carrie Browne was the family caregiver. She always lived at home, looking after her parents, and never married. https://geneal4real.wordpress.com/2014/11/22/john-browne-and-agnes-stewart-revisited/ | Browne, Carolina Matilda (I25286)

|
| 1620 | Catharine McIntyre is found in the 1814 Moss Census as the wife of Peter McNie. Her age is given as 36 years old making her birth about 1777-78 and her place of origin is Lochearnhead. Her second son is named Peter making it likely that her father's name is also Peter/Patrick. There is only one such Catharine McIntyre found in the Balquhidder or Comrie OPR that matches and she is the daughter of Patrick McIntyre and Catharine King, whose family married frequently with members of the Stewarts of Ardveich (as Catharine's suggested daughter Jane/Jannet also did) and whose grandson Peter McIntyre also came to Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada in the early 1800s. This represents too many coincidences for this not to be a good match. The only other possibility is Catharine McIntyre bap 13 DEC 1774 in Balquhidder, daughter of John McIntyre and Margaret McMartin. A slightly better onomastic fit, but poorer chronological fit. However, that Catharine McIntyre is more likely the one who married in 1798 to Finlay McIntyre. | McIntyre, Katharine (I10158)
|
| 1621 | Catharine Stewart was born in 1816 in the clachan of Morell, Easter Glentarken, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. The Comrie OPR records her place of birth as "Moril." She was the nineth child of Robert Stewart and Catharine McNaughtan. Catherine Stewart came to Canada from Perthshire, Scotland in 1833-34, together with her brothers and sisters some of whom were already married. (See notes on mother Catherine and brothers Robert and Peter for a fuller account.) Catherine lived with her mother Catharine, her brother Robert, his wife Mary, their four children, and her brothers Peter and William in a one-room shanty with no door. When her mother Catharine, her brother and sister-in-law, Robert and Mary, all died prematurely within eleven months of each other, Catherine and her brother Peter, now in their twenties, were left to raise the four orphaned children of Robert and Mary. After the children were grown and moved out Peter later married and had nine children of his own. Catherine continued to live with her brother Peter, his wife, and their children. When Peter's wife (also named Catherine) also died prematurely in 1848 then Catherine was left to help raise her brother Peter's children as well. Catherine never married and never had children of her own, but from age 27 onwards she raised the 13 children of her two brothers (born over a period of 40 years between 1838 and 1878). Catherine would have been 61 when the last of her nieces and nephews were born. She would have been 66 when Peter's wife died. Catharine died in 1904 of "infirmity of age." Catherine's Obituary: STEWART, CATHERINE Aberfoyle Another aged resident of Puslinch, Miss Catherine Stewart, has passed way from earth, March 22, 1904. She was born in Perthshire, Scotland and came to Puslinch with the other members of her family in the year 1834, settling on the rear of the 3rd concession. On account of the early decease of Mrs. Peter Stewart, (Jan 16, 1893) [sic. actually 1883] the responsible duties of the home were assumed by her and the young family found in their aunt almost a mother's care. Her's was a life of great usefulness in the home and neighbourhood and beautiful Christian faith. Soon after the death of her brother, Peter Stewart, a little more than two years ago, her health rapidly declined and for nearly two years she has been confined to her room, where she enjoyed the kind attentions of nephews and nieces until her departure on Tuesday, March 22, at the advanced age of 87. The funeral took place on Thursday, March 24, from the old homestead, the residence of Mr. Neil Stewart. She had been connected with Duff's Church ever since its organization and the services were conducted by her pastor, the Rev. W. Robertson. Interment Crown Cemetery.

|
| 1622 | Catharine was born in 1859 in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada. In 1861 and 1871, Catharine was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada with her parents. In 1881, Catharine was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with her parents and siblings. She was employed as a dressmaker. In 1891, Catharine was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with her widowed father and some of her younger siblings. She was employed as a dressmaker. In 1900, Catharine moved to Detroit, Michigan USA and married widower John McKillop where she became step mother to his children. It is not known how they met. She remained in Detroit until her death in 1941. | Stewart, Catharine (I15219)
|
| 1623 | Catharine was residing in Hamilton with her parents in 1851, but not in 1861. It is presumed that she either married to an unknown person or died between 1851-1861. | McCallum, Catharine (I9726)
|
| 1624 | Catharine's daughter, Catharine, was born illegitimately and the child's grandfather, Duncan Stewart, was sponsor. Onomastics would suggest that Duncan was Catharine's father. On that basis, there is only one match in the Balquhidder OPR for Catharine's birth, and that is as shown here. | Stewart, Catharine (I15274)
|
| 1625 | Catharine's father's name is speculated to be Charles based on the name of her second son. The forename Charles was only prevelant in the Stewarts of Annat at this time. There is a matching Charles Stewart from the Annat family who would fit as her father. We have insufficient evidence to confirm that relationship. | Stewart, Catherine (I21691)
|
| 1626 | Catherine (Kitty) came to Canada. She was married three times. The name of her first husband is unknown. Alexander Morrison is #2. Clark Boyd is #3. It is not known which is the father of Amelia. | Duncan, Catherine Darnley (I5368)
|
| 1627 | Catherine and Archie had 4 children who are accounted for in Malcom Gray's notes. | Stewart, Catherine (I15290)
|
| 1628 | Catherine and James were not married. Charles was their "natural" son. It seems likely that Catherine's father's name may also have been Charles. | MacIntyre, Catherine (I9199)
|
| 1629 | Catherine and Nile lived on concession 10, Beverly Township, now part of the city of Dundas, Wentworth County. Catherine was the only child of this family who was not born in the Mountsberg log cabin. | Stewart, Catherine Jean (I15354)
|
| 1630 | Catherine and Thomas had descendants which are beyond the scope of this research project. | Stewart, Catherine (I15267)
|
| 1631 | Catherine Colvin's date and place of birth are unknown. Her birth is estimated to be around 1725, but this is just a guess based on the estimated birth years of her children. Colvin is not a name found anywhere in Balquhidder. Perthshire, Scotland. A. I. B Stewart, in 1984, identifies an Alexander Colvin connected to the colonists from Campbelltown who immigrated in 1739 to Cape Fear, North Carolina. It seems likely that Catherine Colvin was connected to the family of Colvin from Campbelltown. "The North Carolina Settlement of 1739", by A. I. B. Stewart, Campbelltown. (The Kintyre Antiquarian and Natural History Society Magazine, Issue Number 15, Spring 1984.) https://stewartsofbalquhidder.com/2023/05/30/the-north-carolina-settlement-of-1739/ "[Alexander McAlister, who was among the 1739 Campbelltown emigrants] has many descendants in the United States who have distinguished themselves in public life. His first wife was Flora, Ardelay's daughter, and his second Jean Colvin daughter of Alexander Colvin, certainly of Campbeltown. His sister Isabella married Ferquhard Campbell who was a very prominent citizen before during and after the Revolution and who like his brother-in-law Alexander McAllister was one of the first elders of Bluff Church. They also have numerous descendants." Catherine married sometime after 1739 to William Stewart, younger of Ledcreich, who was a part of the 1739 expedition to Cape Fear, Bladen County, North Carolina, USA. In 1763, William's older brother, Patrick, dictated a detailed family tree to his son Charles, later added to by subsequent generations, in which it is stated that William and Catherine married in North Carolina after immigration: "William Stewart, the younger brother of Patrick Stewart, came from Scotland with him a young, single man, and lived with Patrick until he married a Miss Calvin (sic, Colvin), by whom he had two children, Patrick and Margaret." Catherine Colvin is buried in Stewart Cemetery in Bladen County. Her age and date of death are unknown. William married secondly about 1759. It was common in that era to remarry quickly after a wife's death, as the widower would require help to raise the children of his first marriage. Thus, it is suggested that Catherine likely died around 1755-1758. | Colvin, Catherine (I2884)
|
| 1632 | Catherine Drummond is mentioned in the following reference from the MacGregor Collection: "Catherine Drummond and [her son] Robert Stewart, she was mother to R Stewart an idiot and alimented him 1721 - 1751. In that year he succeeded Buchannan to Ardvorlich. (Norison’s Decisions No.46, p412, Vol.1 ) He died unmarried in 1760 - Dundurn Tombstone." | Drummond, Katherine (I5084)
|
| 1633 | Catherine is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Mrs MacLaggan a real Phoenix." This represents one of the very few references to a woman in the entirety of Stewarts of the South. She must have been quite a character for the author to have deemed her to be worth mentioning in what is otherwise a strictly patriarchal accounting! | Stewart, Catherine (I15389)

|
| 1642 | Catherine McNaughtan was born in a small farming croft known as Morell in Easter Glentarken, just west of the village of St. Fillans in Comrie Parish, Perthshire, Scotland. On 4 Dec 1795, Catharine McNaughtan married her second-cousin, Robert Stewart. His paternal great-grandfather, Alexander Stewart in Ardveich was her maternal great-grandather. They raised their family in Morell. Catharine McNaughtan's husband, Robert Stewart, died sometime around 1830, and the farm passed to their children. Sometime in 1833 or early 1834 the family made the decision to leave Scotland, where their ancestors had lived for hundreds of years, and move across the sea to Canada. The only members of this family who left a written record of their life in Scotland and their journey to Canada were two of their younger sons, Duncan and Peter. Leaving Scotland Duncan's descendants recalled that they left because taxes were raised too high. However, they would have been tenant cottars, not landowners, so it would more likely be rent that was raised too high. We also know that sometime around 1815, all the tenants in Glen Tarken were evicted by their landlord, James Drummond, Earl of Perth, and relocated to the nearby village of St. Fillans (previously known as Little Port.) It's possible that it was this eviction that Duncan was recalling. It could also be that their rent in St. Fillans was raised beyond tolerance. Catharine’s husband, Robert, died sometime after 1824. His exact date of death is unknown. According to Stewarts of the South, the Earl of Perth targeted widows for eviction. As Catharine Stewart was a widow, she may have been squeezed out of her home. Sometime in 1833-1834, Catharine Stewart (McNaughtan) along with her eleven children (some adult and already married with children of their own) left Scotland by boat. A typical journey from Scotland to Canada often took more than three weeks, usually in the hold of a cargo ship crammed with peasants with no facilities and no supplies. Arriving in Canada - Losing Everything When Catherine and her family docked in Montreal, Canada was not yet a country. It was still a British colony. It would be another 30 years before Canada would become a country of its own and Upper Canada would become known as Ontario. On the journey across the Atlantic, one of Catharine's sons-in-law contracted cholera and died in Montreal. (Duncan's descendants recalled that it was the husband of the eldest daughter, however that is incorrect.) According to Peter's journal, the family travelled from Montreal to Toronto, Upper Canada (Ontario) by French Canadian oxen-pulled river boats. At one point their boat wrecked on a rock. All their possessions sank to the bottom. and the family had to cling to the rock all night until morning before being rescued. They lost everything. Arriving in Hamilton - Quarantined They stayed three weeks in Toronto (presumably seeking a settlement location), then on to Hamilton where they were quarantined "until the next fall" (presumably for several months) because of the one case of cholera back in Montreal. The city of Hamilton had just suffered a major cholera outbreak, specifically from immigrant ships, and the city was in the midst of a cholera panic. Anyone who was even suspected of having been in contact with a cholera case was locked up and quarantined until it could be determined for certain that they were safe. Of course, they were locked up with known cholera cases and many who did NOT have cholera before they were quarantined contracted it because of the quarantine. It is believed that the Stewarts were released from quarantine in the fall of 1834. (The family’s exact year of immigration is uncertain as sources conflict. The Historical Atlas of Wellington County, 1904, entry for Peter Stewart indicates the family arrived in Hamilton in 1832 and moved to Puslinch in 1833, whereas the 1901 census gives their date of immigration as 1834. Catharine had a granddaughter, Margaret McCallum (daughter of Margaret Stewart) who was born in Hamilton in November 1834, so we know the family was in Hamilton by that time.) A New Start in the New World with help from Sir Allan Napier MacNab Following the family's release from quarantine, they appealed to their fellow Scot, Sir Allan Napier MacNab, latterly of Dundurn Castle, future premier of the Canadian provinces. Sir Allan MacNab named his Hamilton residence, Dundurn, after his family’s ancestral home of Dundurn near St. Fillans. Thus, Sir Allan’s uncle, Robert MacNab of Dundurn would have been a neighbour to our Stewarts. Catharine’s mother was Elizabeth MacNab, so it’s likely that Sir Allan was a distant cousin of Catharine. Sir Allan gave the family a house to live in on York Street in Hamilton, across from Dundurn Castle. According to Duncan Stewart’s descendants, he also gave Duncan a job. It’s likely he would also have helped the other brothers find employment. Several of the older adult children (Margaret, Jean, John, and Duncan) remained in Hamilton, while Catharine and the younger children (Robert, Catharine, Peter and William) moved north to Puslinch, near the town of Guelph. The road from Hamilton to Guelph did not exist yet, so they would have spent several days riding along a cart path through uncleared forest and seeking shelter where they could in order to get to their new home. Pioneer Settlers in Puslinch - Tragedy They were among the earliest settlers in Puslinch. They occupied concession 3, lot 19-rear, while their in-laws, the Gillespies, initially occupied the front of the same lot. According to son Peter's journal they initially lived in a shanty "without any door but an old country blanket hung over." Between February 1848 and January 1849 Catharine, her son Robert, and his wife Mary Gillespie, all died presumably from smallpox (as there was a local smallpox outbreak at the time), leaving their four children orphaned. The Stewart farm passed to Catharine’s next son, Peter, who, together with his sister, Catherine, raised Robert and Mary’s orphans. Catharine’s youngest son, William, lived on the farm in Puslinch until sometime in the 1860s when he married and moved to Hamilton. Catharine and her family were among the founding members of Duff's Presbyterian Church in Puslinch. As Duff's church initially held worship services only in Gaelic, it is likely that Catharine and her family spoke Gaelic as their first language, as was the case with most of the early Highland settlers. Catharine is buried in Crown cemetery, Puslinch, along with her son Robert and his wife, Mary Gillespie, with the following inscription: "Catharine, relict of the late Robert Stewart, died Sept. 18, 1848, age 70 years." Peter and Catherine's graves are nearby. | McNaughtan, Catharine (I10642)
|
| 1643 | Catherine Stewart was orphaned at the age of 7. She was raised by her uncle Peter Stewart and her aunt Catherine Stewart on the Stewart farm in west Puslinch. In 1851, Catharine was residing on the family farm in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada with her uncle Peter and aunt Catharine and her siblings. In 1861, Catharine was residing on the family farm in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, with her orphaned sibligns, her uncle Peter Stewart, aunt Catharine Stewart, aunt Jane (Stewart) McCowan, and cousin Peter McCowan. Catharine married in 1969 in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada to Hugh Munro McIntyre, farmer, originally from Glasgow, Scotland. They moved to Bellflower, Mclean, Illinois, USA where their first child was born a year later. In 1870, Catharine was residing in Bellflower, Mclean County, Illinois, USA, with her husband. In 1880, Catharine was residing in Bellflower, Mclean County, Illinois, USA, with her husband and children. Catharine died in 1887 at the age of 44. | Stewart, Catharine (I15213)

| 1644 | Catherine was 18 years old when her father died. She married an unknown man named Devaughn. They have not been identified in public records. It is not known if they had children or where they lived. She may have been confused with her sister Helen who married Thomas Devane. Or their husbands could be from the same family. In 1763, Catherine's uncle, Patrick Stewart, dictated a detailed family tree, which was subsequently added to by Dr. James Carraway in 1789, in which Catherine is described as "Catharine married Devaughn" Nothing more is known of them. | Stewart, Catherine (I15299)

| 1645 | Catherine was born in North Carolina, USA, shortly after her parent's arrival from Scotland. Her birth is estimated to have been about 1739 based on her age at time of death. In 1769, her father, Patrick, dictated a detailed family tree which was subsequently added to by Dr. James Caraway in 1789, and by Dr. Morgan Brown at an unknown date, in which the following is recorded about Catherine: "Catherine, the second child* of Patrick Stewart, was born in Scotland and came to America with her parents very young. She was married to William Little, then of South Carolina, December the 25th, 1764, and by whom she had one daughter, Elizabeth, born November the 24th, 1765, and married to Morgan Brown, the writer of these sketches, January 22d, 1784. William Little died in the latter part of the year 1766, and Catherine after living a widow several years married John Speed in July, 1774, by whom she had two children, a son called James and a daughter named Sarah, who was married to William Pigues, the son of Claudius, who was the son of Claudius Pigues of South Carolina, near the Cheraws, where they now live, and have several children, but their names and ages not now known. James married Hinson, and has several children, now living near the mouth of Red River, Montgomery County, Tenn., where he died." *The reference to Catherine being the second child is not correct. It can't even been generously interpretted as second child of her father's marriage to Elizabeth Menzies, or second surviving child. She had at least three, and possibly four, older siblings, two of whom survived to adulthood, all by the same mother. Dr. Brown's error about his own mother-in-law would indicate that he added his supplements to the family history after her death in 1789 and possibly after his own wife's death in 1829. Stewart Clan Magazine says, "Catherine Stewart, born about 1742, married (1) Dec. 25, 1764, William Little, Jr., of Edenton, N.C. Sometime after their marriage Catherine and her husband moved from Bladen County to Cheraws District, South Carolina, in company with her parents. Mr. Little died in the latter part of 1766. When Catherine's father made his will in 1772 he appointed her and Alexander Gordon executors. She married (2) July --, 1774, John Speed. These data are from a sketch written by Morgan Brown, who was born in 1758 and married in 1784, as his second wife, Elizabeth Little, daughter of William and Catherine. From this Elizabeth (Little) Brown, through her three daughters -- Elizabeth, Sarah and Catherine Stewart Brown -- are descended several families of prominence in the South. The time and place of Catherine's death were not noted. Children: Elizabeth Little, Nov. 24, 1765 : m. 1784, Morgan Brown ------ James Speed Sarah Speed : m. William Pigues : had children (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, February 1957, vol. 34, no. 8, pp.185-188.) | Stewart, Catherine (I15286)
