| 1651 | 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 (I17426)
|
| 1652 | 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 (I7131)
|
| 1653 | As this daughter is not named in the OPR, she is presumed to have died at birth. | Galloch, Daughter (I6244)
|
| 1654 | As two of her children's baptisms were witnessed by James Stewart of Drumvaich, Elizabeth may be his daughter or sister. | Stewart, Elizabeth (I15637)
|
| 1655 | 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 (I17722)
|
| 1656 | As William appears not to have inherited either of the Portnellan farms then he presumably died young or emigrated. | Stewart, William (I18015)
|
| 1657 | As William's name is not preserved in family histories, it is presumed that he died as a child. | Stewart, William (I18034)
|
| 1658 | As with all of the Tasker children, Ester went by her middle name "Hilda". Hilda and Clair had no children. | Tasker, Esther Hilda (I18756)
|
| 1659 | 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 (I15259)
|
| 1660 | 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 (I25701)
|
| 1661 | 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 (I11026)
|
| 1662 | 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 (I21835)
|
| 1663 | 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 (I4234)

|
| 1665 | 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 (I6246)

| 1680 | 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 (I15296)

|
| 1684 | Balquhidder OPR gives probable birth entry for Robert: Alexander (or John) Steuart in Dalveich had a child baptized and called Robert. (Date given is Nobr 1697, but no day.) We have two conflicting transcriptions of this entry, however a review would favour that Alexander is the correct reading. Robert is shown in the Comrie OPR as living in Ardveich when his son John was born. Family tradition in the branch of his Canadian great-grandchild, Duncan Stewart, recalls that Robert was killed at the Battle of Culloden. Such a claim is supported by the fact that Robert and Mary appear to have stopped having children after 1744. If Robert died at Culloden and left his widow with a houseful of young children, then she likely would have either remarried or been taken in by a close relative. Further research is needed to see if a second family can be identified for her. | Stewart, Robert in Ardveich (I17512)

| 1685 | Balquhidder Parish: 1845 March 1 Contracted John McGregor Parish of St. ~ and Margaret Stewart in this Parish. 10p In 1851, John and Margaret were residing at East Muir Cottage, Landrick, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, with their two youngest daughters and John's mother, Isabella McGregor. Eldest daughter, Mary, has not been found in 1851, but did accompany the family to Australia in 1852. | Stewart, Margaret (I16969)
|
| 1686 | Balquhidder Parish: 1845 March 1 Contracted John McGregor Parish of St. ~ and Margaret Stewart in this Parish. 10p In 1851, John McGregor was residing at East Muir Cottage, Landrick, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and children. Also residing with them was his mother (72) who was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. No birth for anyone named John of any surname with a mother named Isabella has been found in Balquhidder 1800-1812. A search of neighbouring Comrie parish reveals only one John with a mother named Isabella. That being John Stalker, born 1 Jun 1800 in Comrie, son of Donald Stalker and Isabel Ferguson. Stalker is not a known McGregor alias. | McGregor, John (I20269)

| 1692 | Baptism date not given in OPR. David is described in Stewarts of the South as a son "under age". In 1851 David has his sister Catherine (b 1803 in Callander) and his nephew Walter (b 1834 in Kilmadock, son of Archibald) residing with him and his family. It would appear that David followed in his brother Archibald's footsteps initially and was employed in 1851 as a Grocer in Kinnoul. However in 1861 he had returned to his family roots of farming and was maintaining a farm in Mains of Huntingtower, Tibbermore, Perthshire, Scotland and employing 5 men. Transcript of the Perthshire Courier Tuesday, October 2, 1866 Death of David Stuart, Esq. It is with sincere regret we have to announce the death of this respected gentleman, which took place yesterday afternoon, at Mains of Huntingtower. Mr. Stuart has been cut down in the prime of life, and, til seized by his fatal illness, of health and vigor. He had been ailing for some months, and was at last carried off by an abscess of the lung. Mr. Stuart settled in Perth as a merchant in 1836, where he conducted a most successful and prosperous business for twenty years. He retired from business in 1856 to enjoy the fruits of his industry, integrity, and uprightness. He was elected a member of Town Council in 1845, and continued a member, in various capacities, we believe, continuously, til his removal to the country in 1858. He was early chosen a Magistrate, filling, through a series of years, the chairs of third, second, and first bailie. In 1856 he was chosen Dean of Guild to which honourable office he was, according to custom, twice re-elected. In 1813 Mr. Stuart, unobtrusively, but determinedly, cast in his lot with the Free Church. He attached himself to the Free Middle Congregation, and was, at the first election, chosen an elder. Politically and ecclesiastically he was thoroughly liberal. Nor was his liberality confined to sentiment. He was large-hearted and open-handed. His contributions, to whatever good object he felt it his duty to contribute, were free and unstinted. We believe appeals were seldom made to him in vain; and we know that many appeals were bountifully responded to. On the very eve of publication it is impossible for us to enlarge. Suffice it to say that, for upwards of twenty years the deceased gentleman was one of our most prominent and respected citizens, taking an active part in all public matters, whether religious, ecclesiastical, municipal, or charitable; and that after returning to the country, he continued to feel the deepest interest in all that pertained to the prosperity of the city. As an agriculturist he was distinguished by all those qualities which commended him so highly to this community as a merchant and a citizen. Perthshire Constitutional and Journal, Thursday Oct 4, 1866 At Mains of Huntingtower, on the 1st inst., David Stuart, Esq., aged 56, Friends will please accept of this intimation. Perthshire Constitutional and Journal, Thursday Oct 4, 1866 Death of ex-Dean of Guild Stuart.-- Our obituary today contains the notice of the death of David Stuart, Esq., for many years an enterpresing merchant in Perth. The sad event took place at Mains of Huntingtower on Monday, the cause of death being abcess of the lungs. In the year 836 Mr Stuart commenced business as a merchant in Perth, and, after a successful career retired from business in 1856. He was for many years a member fo the Town Council, and was on various occasions appointed to the Magistracy -- he having by turns occupied the chairs of First, Second, and Third Bailie. In 1856, he was elected Lord-Dean of Guild, and in that capacity he gave the highest satisfaction to the Guild brethren. In private, as in public life, Mr Stuart was highly respected, and his loss will be mourned by many friends. | Stuart, David Henry in Mains of Huntingtower (I14973)
