Stewart Clan Magazine says: "Thomas Stewart, born about 1730, in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, came with is parents in 1739 to Bladen county, N.C. (sic) He married Margaret Stewart, daughter of Patrick Stewart of Brown's Marsh. He died some years before 1772, the date of Patrick Stewart's will, at which time Margaret had children by her second husband. After his death his widow married John Caraway, by whom she had four sons - James, Charles, Thomas and Robert Caraway. Only child of Thomas Stewart [was] Elizabeth: died, an old maid, on her plantation on the Cape Fear River."

|
| 1709 | Charles Stewart of Ballachallan is not confirmed to be a son of George Stewart, 2nd of Ballachallan. Charles is not listed in Duncan Stewart (1739) which is hard to understand as he would have been a contemporary. Charles is found in a list from Stewart Clan Magazine of Jacobites apprehended between 1745 and 1748, in which he is identified as "Charles Stewart of Ballachallan." David B. Morris, in his 1929 book Robert Louis Stevenson and the Scottish Highlanders, says: "Major David Stewart of Ballochallan was found hiding in the Braes of Leny, near Callander and were discovered by Government troops who overpowered them and took them to the garrison at Stirling Castle where Major David Stewart died of his wounds. Two of his brothers Doctor Stewart and William Stewart left for Annapolis (Maryland) Virginia." This book also refers to Charles Stewart of Ballochallan being listed as a person found guilty of treason in 1747 and also excepted from the General Act of Pardon. Morris has confused two families. The Maj. David Stewart of Ballachallan who was captured at Leny was not the brother of Docter Stewart and William Stewart of this Ballachallan family. Maj. David was the son of James Stewart, 4th of Ardvorlich. So, while both David and Charles were denominated "of Ballachallan" they were actually from two different families. No further record has been found for this Charles. As he is designated as being "of" Ballachallan, rather than "in" Ballachallan then attaching him to this family is preferred for now, but his relationship is not confirmed. As Charles is not found in any other records and is listed as being found guilty of treason and excepted from pardon, it is presumed that he was executed in 1747. | Stewart, Charles of Ballachallan (I20848)
|
| 1710 | Charles Stewart was born in 1819, shortly after his family arrived in Scotland. Charles was born in Lancaster, Glengarry, Ontario, Canada, when his family was temorarily housed there while his father was building their new home across the St. Lawrence River in St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. In 1825, Charles' father, Duncan Stewart is shown residing in a house with 11 occupants: 2 under the age of 6 (Charles 6 and Daniel 3); 2 between 6-14 (John 13 and Peter 9); 2 between 14-18 (Archibald 16 and Jannet 16); 2 males between 18-25 (Alexander and James D); one male over 60 (Duncan 50); one single female between 14-45 (Mary); one married female between 14-45 (unknown); and one married female over 45 (Agnes McGregor). Also residing in Dundee at the time was Robert Stewart with one child under 6, one male 18-25, and one married female between 14-45. Robert is of no known relation to Duncan. In 1871, at age 51, Charles was residing in St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada, with his wife Catherine and their children Agnes 17, Dugald 12, Duncan 9, Euphemia 6, Jannet 4, Margaret 1. Charles was employed as a farmer. They were residing two houses away from his sister-in-law Nancy 04-12-1882 Charles Stewart, formerly of St Anicet, died at Dundee, Quebec, of Pleurisy and congestion of the lungs, Aged about 69 years. (The Gleaner newspaper, Huntingdon, Quebec, 1882) Charles is buried at Isle of Skye Cemetery, Dundee, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. "Stewart Charles 12-Apr-1882 aged 63 Husband of Catherine McKinnon" Gerry Rogers' Cemetery List, 1978, no marker. | Stewart, Charles (I24967)
|
| 1711 | Charles Stewart's date of birth is not known. His gravestone does not record his age or date of birth. Based on the age of his first child, he is estimated to have been born about 1755. As the date of death for his father's first wife is unknown and the date of marriage for his father's second wife is also unknown, it's impossible to say at this point which of his father's two wives was his mother. Secondary sources conflict over details of Charles' life. Some accounts conflate Charles with his son, Charles Jr. Charles grave has recently been identified at Stewart 3 Cemetery in Woodville, Wilkinson, Mississippi, USA, about ten miles from Stewart 2 Cemetery where his brothers Duncan and James of Holly Grove Plantation are buried. Col Charles Stewart is buried with his son Justice Charles Stewart Jr., along with Unknown Jones (possibly his wife or a relative of hers), and two of his de Graffenried grandchildren. In 1790, Charles was residing in Cumberland, North Carolina, USA, with a male under 16 (presumably Charles Jr), a female (presumably his unknown first wife), and a slave. In 1801, Charles was residing in Montgomery, Tennessee, USA, on an estate with 3168 acres, next to John Stewart with 100 acres (probably his brother-in-law Jock Stewart, the half-pay British officer), and James and Duncan Stewart (his brothers) sharing 650 acres. Charles served in the fourth General Assembly representing Montgomery County, Tennessee in the House of Representatives from 1801-1803. Charles and his brother Duncan were the first Stewarts to leave Bladen County, North Carolina about 1797 for Clarksville, Tennessee. Charles operated a mill in 1810 on the west fork of the Red River. Charles also engaged in the practice of law and was appointed property appraiser by the Montgomery County Court in 1805. In 1813 in the State and Territorial Census, Charles was residing in Wilkinson, Mississippi Territory, USA. In 1820, Charles was residing on a plantation in Wilkinson, Mississippi, USA, with the following free white persons (presumably his family) 1 male over 45 (presumably Charles Sr.) 1 female 26-44 (presumably Polly Jones with a generous age) 1 male 26-44 (presumably Charles Jr) 1 male 16-18 (presumably Tignall Jones Stewart) 1 male 10-15 (presumably Duncan A. Stewart) 1 female 10-15 (presumably Jeanette Stewart) Daughter Penelope Stewart was likely living with her husband at this time. Charles also had 117 enslaved persons and 123 other untaxed person living/working on the plantation. In 1936, Stewart Clan Magazine wrote: "Charles Stewart was a twin brother of Duncan. He is buried at the Ventress place one mile north of the old Stewart estate in Wilkinson county, Miss. [Compare Charles Stewart, born Jan. 16, 1761, in Bladen county, N.C., --B:171]" (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome C, August 1936, vol. xiv, no. 2, p.189.) In a later 1957 article, Stewart Clan Magazine wrote: "Charles Stewart, born about 1760 in Sampson or Bladen county, North Carolina, received a share in his father's lands by the latter's will, Aug. 22, 1778. He married in Wake county (bond Apr. 11, 1798) Mary (Polly) Jones, daughter of Tingnall and Penelope Jones. "He moved to Montgomery County, Tennessee, with his brother, where he bought Jan. 20, 1797, of William Jones 1000 acres of land on the West fork of Red River. He sold 800 acres of this tract Oct. 20, 1800, to James Stewart. "As attorney for Duncan Stewart he made a journey back to North Carolina and sold Apr. 28, 1798, to George Devan two tracts of their father's land in Sampson County. He was appointed Oct. 15, 1810, guardian of his son Tignall Jones Stewart, to care for the property which was left to the boy by the will of his grandfather, Tingnall Jones of Wake county, dated Aug. 26, 1807. "All we need to establish in this article is that Charles Stewart, brother of Duncan, was not Charles, Jr., to whom he deeded land on the north side of the West Fork of Red River on Jan. 14, 1803; nor the Charles Stuart of Adams County, Mississippi, who, on June 23, 1803, gave power-of-attorney to Samuel Neely to sell land in Davidson County; nor yet Charles G. Stewart, whose land on the West fork of Red river adjoined a tract which he sold Mar. 14, 1809, to James Stewart. One of these three Charleses died before the July term of court, 1817, and -- later than that -- May 2, 1818, "James Stewart, attorney for Charles Stewart, "now of Wilkinson County, Mississippi Territory," deed to Thomas Watson, for $13,000, 1630 acres of land on the Big West Fork of Red River, and two days later, May 4, 1818, James, in the same capacity, conveyed 150 acres on the Big West Fork to Stephen Pettus; also he sold 160 acres, formerly Brantley's Plantation, on the south side of Red River, to James B. Reynolds of Clarksville,* who already had possession, for $700. "Charles Stewart, who was a twin brother of Duncan (sic), is buried at the Ventress place one mile north of the old Stewart estate in Wilkinson County, Miss." Only identified child: Tignall Jones: his father was appointed his guardian Oct. 15, 1810" (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, March 1957, vol. 34, no. 9, pp.189-192) ----------- From the Archives: Founder of Our County Bryan Saunders for the Stewart Co. Archives, October 27, 2016 Duncan Stewart, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, traveled across the Smokey Mountains into middle Tennessee in 1794 - two years before TN actually became a state. Many former Revolutionary soldiers were paid for their service to the country by being awarded 640 acres of land by state governments. North Carolina, at the time owned all land to the Mississippi River, including our county. They paid many of their soldiers' with tracts of land in the new frontier for their service. Stewart and brother Charles, eager to come West, bought land from soldiers who wished to remain in the Tar-Heel state. At one time, Duncan owned over 30,000 acres in middle TN. He lived in Montgomery and Stewart Counties while he surveyed and helped settle the frontier. Duncan built a fort, called Stewart Station, close to Wells Creek in the southern part of Stewart Co., in what is now Houston Co. The following is a letter from his brother Charles Stewart about life on the frontier: "Duncan and myself left that country (North Carolina) and located ourselves in then a territory, now the state of Tennessee. There, we soon got an appointment as surveyors...We have encountered all the hardships that could be conceived from the Indians who were at open war with us...In 1796, we got a peace with the Indians...In 1797, we returned to North Carolina and took wives...we then moved back to Tennessee, a distance of 700 miles away...We subsidized our families out of the woods with our guns and feasted our delicately raised wives with the flesh of bear, buffalo, deer and wild turkey...They never complained." While some people might be discouraged to stay on the edge of the wilderness, Duncan continued to buy and sell land throughout middle Tennessee. Some of the land sales have been found in the Stewart County Archives. Through the use of the Archives, Stewart County Library and the Stewart County Historical Society and their museum, many Stewart County residents are researching their past. At the recent Literacy Night at Stewart County High School, many Stewart County students learned how Stewart County got its name. In 1801, Duncan was a state senator, serving Robertson and Montgomery counties. In 1803, with a lot of people moving into the western part of Montgomery County, the state decided these residents had too far to travel to conduct business in Clarksville. They decided to split off the western part of Montgomery County and form a new county - and they named it Stewart County, after Duncan. So our county was formed on November 3, 1803. The town seat was named Monroe after (future president) James Monroe. But two years later, the citizens voted to rename the town Dover, because the high bluffs reminded many of the townspeople of similar bluffs in Dover, England. As more and more people moved into Middle TN., Duncan began to feel over crowded...he was hearing of a new frontier open for settlement in southern Mississippi. In 1811, he moved to Woodville, Mississippi, and started cotton farming. Most of his family (wife, kids, siblings) all moved south, except his twin brother James. As James' health started to fail, he decided to move from Clarksville to Mississippi in 1818. Duncan and James had always promised to be buried in the same cemetery. So James, knowing the time was near, had quite the elaborative sendoff in front of his Clarksville friends. He invited them all to the pier for his goodbye, complete with music and food. He placed his belongings on a boat, and to the surprise of many, workers loaded a substantial coffin on the boat also. A local preacher, possibly the Elder Reuben Ross, then preached brother James' funeral - while James sat on his coffin listening. It took years before the citizens of Clarksville ceased talking about this strange transaction...When James arrived in southern Mississippi, he found Duncan to be a rich man, living on a large plantation and also Lieutenant-Governor in the state. James didn't live long after he made the trip and was buried in a spot he picked out on a hill a mile from Duncan's house. Duncan was very successful and well liked in all three states...a Revolutionary War veteran in North Carolina, a frontiersman and trailblazer in middle Tennessee and a business man and politician in Mississippi. Duncan had six kids with his wife Penelope and his plantation home in southern Mississippi, (Holly Grove) is still standing today and is on the National Register of Historical Places. One side note, many people remember the movie Braveheart, with William Wallace (Mel Gibson). At the end of the movie, the Scottish king, Robert the Bruce, led the Scottish troops against the King of England. The Scots were victorious and Robert the Bruce became king of Scotland. Robert the Bruce was Duncan Stewart's ancestor. (Say the word great 14 times, then grandfather and you get the idea.) In closing, Duncan Stewart passed away on November 27, 1820, at his plantation home. He chose to honor his 50 year-old agreement to be buried next to his twin brother James. The two are buried at the Stewart Two cemetery with four other people out in the woods in southern Mississippi. | Stewart, Col. Charles Sr. in Woodville (Planter) (I15522)

| 1712 | Charles Stuart Speed was the youngest of seven children. Full family information is available from Chuck Speed of Texas. Abstracts of deeds for Montgomery Co., Tennessee (Book O, pg.220, 1835) show that William Speed deeded to Charles S. Speed on Dec. 20, 1834, 86 acres on Spring Creek. This was an original land grant from the state of N. Carolina to David Lewis and later sold. Proved Jan. 19, 1835 by Wm. Speed. These records also show that Charles S. Speed deeded to Wm. D. Merriweather (Book S, pg.21) on Dec. 24, 1840, 86 acres on Spring Creek for $450. Proved by oath of witness Jan. 4, 1841. Sometime before the 1850 census, Nancy Speed, the widow of James Stuart Speed, moved in with the family of her son, Charles Stuart Speed. Charles had moved to Weakley County, Tennessee sometime between 1841 and 1850. The 1850 Weakley County census showed Charles (age 33) , his wife, Martha (age 32), a twin son and daughter, Mary and George (age 4), a son, Robert (age 5), and Charles? mother, Nancy (age 65). Unfortunately, Charles Stuart Speed died on 26 August 1856 leaving his wife, Martha, to raise five children. Twins Mary (called Puss) and George were eight years old, son Robert was five years old, Henry Lewis (called Lute) was three years old, and the youngest son, Charles, was ten months old. This left Martha Cowell Speed with a formidable task in raising their young family alone. Charles was buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery located across from the Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church formed in 1835 just south of Martin, TN at the intersection of Troy Road and Pleasant Hill Road. This was quite near the old Speed farm between Troy Road and Mud Creek just west of Hwy 45E. When I first found my great great grandfather's grave, the top half of the tombstone was missing and you could not read the name. I had a local monument company probe the ground around the grave and they found the missing upper half of the tombstone. I then had an additional marker made and, along with the upper half of the original tombstone, had both placed in cement on the grave. I had my own name also placed in the marker in hopes that some other family member who might be researching this family line, would contact me if they saw who placed it there. I have since had two contacts made by distant cousins researching relatives buried in that old cemetery. | Speed, Charles Stuart (I14472)

| 1713 | Charles studied medicine at St Bartholomew’s Hospital and passed his primary examinations in anatomy and physiology on 3rd April 1878. He married Margaret Byers in 1878 and they had two children. Margaret died in 1882 and three years later Charles married Lilian Stewart in India and they had 4 children. Lilian is the daughter of Colonel John Stewart, 12th of Ardvorlich. (Wikitree) Sir Charles Pardey Lukis KCSI FRCS (1857 - 22 October 1917) was the inaugural editor of the Indian Journal of Medical Research and served as the Director-General of the Indian Medical Service (1910-1917). Pardey was also a strong supporter of the establishment of the Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine, though he did not live to see it open in 1921. He received his medical training at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1890. The same year, he entered the Bengal Army and served and worked in India for the remainder of his career, though he was awarded his MD from the University of London in 1904. He was appointed as a professor of medicine in Calcutta in 1905 and became honorary surgeon to the Viceroy of India the same year. He was made a Commander of the Order of the Star of India in 1910, was knighted in 1911, and became honorary surgeon to the king in 1913. His appointment as director-general of the Indian Medical Service was at the rank of surgeon-general, and he was promoted to lieutenant general in 1916. Theodore Lukis, his son, was expected to follow in his father's footsteps and qualified as a medical doctor but was killed during the First World War. Lukis was extremely bitter about his loss, writing that "his has been a wasted life and I can find no justification, for a medical man, who gives up his profession of healing, in order to endeavour to kill his fellow creatures, even though they be enemies". A book co-written by Lukis, Tropical Hygiene for Residents in Tropical and Sub-Tropical Climates, was re-issued in 2010. Lukis also wrote a handbook on midwifery. (Wikipedia) | Lukis, The Hon. Dr. Sir Charles Pardey MD KCSI FRCS (I21287)
|
| 1714 | Charles was a medical doctor in Annapolis, Maryland, USA. He tried unsuccessfully to sue his niece Sophia Home-Stewart for the lands of Ballachallan and Argaty. MacGregor says, "Charles Stewart, against whom his niece, Sophia Home Stewart of Argaty, raised an action to halt him claiming the lands of Argaty on 17 March 1791." Stewarts of the South says, "Another of them was married to a niece of the celebrated & Gallant Gen Washington." (sic) Dr. Charles Steuart of Annapolis married Elizabeth Calvert whose sister was married to the stepson of General George Washington. His son, Charles Calvert Steuart, MD, married Ann Fitzhugh Biscoe, daughter of General George Washington Biscoe. Either of these may be the source of the confusion. "During the Revolution Steuart was a Loyalist, being, like his mother Anne, "decidedly of the Tory faction." This did not, apparently, stop him being present with General George Washington at the Siege of Yorktown in 1781, or serving in The Flying Camp, a division of the Patriot Militia established by Washington in June 1776." (unsourced) Charles acquired the estate of Bridge Hill, adjoinig the estate of Dodon, in Anne Arrundel, Maryland, USA. At his death, Bridge Hill was occupied by his son Edward H. Steuart, but (for reasons unknown) was inherited by his brother, William. | Steuart, Dr. Charles Mark MD in Annapolis (I14750)

| 1715 | Charles was a missionary in China. | Bridgman, Charles Alfred (I1307)
|
| 1716 | Charles was a sargent in WWI. According to his recruiting document he was living in Detroit, USA in 1916. He is buried in Dresden, but it is not known if he may have returned to Detroit after the war. He may have descendants in Detroit. Prior to 1916 he served in the 21st Regiment of Essex Fusiliers. | Prangley, Sgt. Charles Andrew (I12554)
|
| 1717 | Charles was married previously and had children: Stanley, Mary, Elizabeth and Charles all born in North Dakota. At the time of Charles' marriage to Sarah Stewart his residence was given as "Tyner, North Dakota" and he is recorded as a widower. | Smirl, Charles (I14593)
|
| 1718 | Charles was minister of Aberdalgie parish in east Perthshire, Scotland. Charles is described in the Fasti Ecclesia as: "Charles Calder Stewart, born 22nd Nov. 1804, second son of Alexander Stewart, D.D., minister of Canongate; educated at the Universities of Aberdeen and Edinburgh; licensed by the Presbytery of Dunblane, 3rd Oct. 1826; became Session-clerk of Perth in 1827; presented by Thoms Robert, Earl of Kinnoull, 12th Oct. 1831; ordained 15th March 1832. Joined the Free Church in 1843; admitted to Free Church, Dunning, 13th Sept. 1843; transferred to Free Church, Scone, 1847; died 30th Dec. 1876. He married 28th April 1834, Jemima Hunter Lee." "Marriages: At Greenock, on the 29th April, the Rev. CHarles Calder Stewart, minsiter of Aberdalgie, to Jemima Hunter, third daughter of the late Robert Lee, Esq. Greenock." -- Wednesday 14 May 1834, Aberdeen Press and Journal | Stewart, Rev. Charles Calder Minister at Aberdalgie (I15541)
|
| 1719 | Charles was Minister of Foreign Affairs for King Louis XIV. | Colbert, Charles Edward (I2654)
|
| 1720 | Charles was mistakenly recorded in Stewarts of the South as Thomas (probably a transcription error for "Chas./Thos."), in which it says "Thomas emigrated some time ago to North America and had a large family." | Stewart, Charles (I15529)
|
| 1721 | Charles was only three years old when his mother died and 17 when his father died. His wife, Elizabeth Frances Steele, was the granddaughter of Frances Scott Key, author of the lyrics of The Star Spangled Banner. | Steuart, Dr. Charles Calvert MD (I22324)
|
| 1722 | Charles was residing with his widowed mother in 1841 and 1851 and unmarried. 1851 census gives his place of birth as Balfron, Stirling, but 1841 says Perthshire. He was baptized in Port of Menteith, Perthshire. The OPR has not been consulted yet. | Stewart, Charles (I15503)
|
| 1723 | Charles was the proprietor of Georgia Plantation in Mathews Louisiana. (FindAGrave) | Mathews, Charles Stewart of Georgia Plantation (Planter) (I23809)
|
| 1724 | Charles worked for the Bank of Scotland. | Moody-Stuart, Charles (I11430)
|
| 1725 | Charles worked in the Dawn Mills General Store which was part-owned by his father, brother-in-law, James Smith, and father-in-law, William Taylor. No census, marriage or death records have been found for Charles, so it is presumed that he died prior to the commencement of civil death records in 1869. | Baxter, Charles (I625)
|
| 1726 | Charles' connection to the Drumvaich family is questionable. I cannot locate the source. It's not supported by Duncan Stewart (1739) or MacGregor. It appears that it may have come from the Kennedy-Annat Tree (since lost) and must now be considered suspect. | Stewart, Charles in Milton of Cambus (I15533)
|
| 1727 | Charles' name is not known for sure. It is speculated based solely on the fact that his daughter Catherine named her second son Charles. | Stewart, Charles (I21694)
|
| 1728 | Charles, like his older brother Isaac, suffered from mental illness and was "in and out of mental institutions" for much of his life. (wiki) Charles married Anna Loden who was nearly 30 years his junior. They had no children. (Nelker) In 1850, he was residing as a young boy with his parents in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. In 1859, he is listed as a student in the directory for the College of New Jersey (in 1896 renamed to Princeton University). In 1860, he is recorded in two locations. He was recorded as an 18 year old student residing in a student residence in Princeton, New Jersey, USA. He was also recorded as residing with his parents in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Charles has not been found in 1870, 1880, 1890 or 1900, most likely because he was recorded as "Stewart" or "Stuart" and cannot be identified from among too many other Charles Stewarts or Charles Stuarts. In 1902, Charles married in Delaware City, Delaware, USA, to Anna Loden from Sweden. In 1910, Charles was residing in Anne Arundel, Maryland, USA, with his Swedish wife, Anna. The census indicates that they had been married for 8 years. In 1920, he was residing in Anne Arundel, Maryland, USA, with his Swedish wife, Anna, and employed as a farmer. (The census mistakenly records him as "Charles E. Steuart." It would appear that the enumerator may have misheard Anna.) | Steuart, Charles David (I22249)
|
| 1729 | Charles,6 (John,5 Charles,4 John,3 Robert,2 Walter,1) b. in Colrain, July 15, 1763. He was without doubt the soldier from Ashfield who served in Colonel Wesson's Massachusetts line regiment in 1778, 1779 and 1780, and the same who served in Capt. Oliver Shattuck's Co., Lieut. Col. Barnabas Sear's Regt. in 1781, m. Mary dau. of John Hulbert, the Indian fighter of Colrain. A separation followed and a second marHannah Gates, b. in Leyden about 1777. He is said to have been a carpenter by trade and erected the house in which he lived at Leyden about 1793. The house is still standing. He lived in the immediate neighborhood of the originator of a religious sect known as Dorrillites and seemed to have been a follower. In the summer of 1795 ne went to Truxton - then Fabins - Onondaga Co., N. Y., his family joining him the following winter, the journey being made with an ox team and occuping six weeks. He became a prosperous man in his new home, prominent and active in building up the new town, giving the new community transportation, through a line of teams to Albany, and having built for himself a spacious house, then popularly known as the " big red house," he entertained emigrants free of charge. He erected a sawmill and gristmill, and gave the land for the cemetery, and was at one time the second wealthiest man in Onondaga County (the county has since been divided) but reverses came ; a big lawsuit was waged year after year for water privileges until both parties spent most of their property. Between 18 19 and 1827, he visited his relatives at Middlebury, Vt., taking the journey on horseback, sitting erect and stately in the saddle, his long white hair done up in a queue making ariage, then a final separation. His second wife was deep impression upon the memory of one of the younger members of his host's household. In 1834, he again sought a home elsewhere ; this time Michigan was the goal and a third house was built at Genesee, Genesee County, where he resided until his death in 1837. His wife, Hannah, d. in Flint, Mich., in 1845 or l%4-6> a member of the Baptist church. (Severence) | Stewart, Charles (I24540)

| 1730 | Charlotte Cowles was previously married to a Richard Cowles. It's not known what her maiden name was. Charlotte and Thomas Thornton had twins together, but after Thomas died Charlotte abandoned the twins with another relative from her family, sold her land, and moved to Michigan. It's not known why. There is only one possible match for this Charlotte in the 1880 US Census or in the 1881 Canadian Census, so the presentation of this Charlotte is fairly likely, but not certain. Her birth name would have been Donner, daughter of Samuel and Charlotte Donner of CT. She may have had other relatives in Michigan. | Cowles, Charlotte (I3011)
|

| 1738 | Childhood in Scotland Peter Stewart was born in 1820 in the clachan of Morell in Easter Glentarken, Comrie parish, Perthshire, Scotland. The Comrie OPR records his place of birth as "Moril." He was the tenth of eleven children born to Robert Stewart and Catharine McNaughtan. Peter would have been raised with Gaelic as his first language in the home and English taught in the local school in Comrie. At some point in his young childhood, his family was evicted from the clachan in Glen Tarken where they'd lived for two generations and they were forced to relocate to the nearby village of St. Fillans. Peter was probably just ten or eleven years old when his father, Robert Stewart, died. Deciding to Leave Deep Roots The financial hardships they endured, compelled Peter's older siblings and their widowed mother to decide to move the entire family to Canada. Peter's father's family had lived around the shores of Loch Earn since the 1400s. His mother's family roots stretched back to Pictish times (pre-800 CE). With roots that deep, it could not have been easy to leave. Many of their neighbours from nearby Wester Glentarken and elsewhere in Comrie parish had earlier moved to southern Ontario, Canada in 1818. That earlier party included McNaughtons, Maclarens, MacNabs and Carmichaels, many of whom were distantly related to our family. Those earlier emigrants sent back letters with stories of the opportunities for free land and prosperity in the New World, which may have enticed our Stewarts to brave the journey. Leaving Scotland for Canada Peter, along with his extended family, emigrated in 1833. They landed firstly in Montreal, Quebec, Canada after a journey of many weeks at sea where one of Peter's older brothers-in-law died of cholera. In Montreal, they hired an oxen-pulled barge to haul their belongings. Peter writes about the night their barge crashed on rocks and all their possessions were lost at the bottom of the river, while the family clung to the rocks till morning. After a stopover in Muddy York (Toronto), Ontario, they finally arrived in the newly formed town of Hamilton, Ontario. Today, Hamilton is a city of a half-million people. In 1833, when our Stewarts arrived, the population was only 1000 and it had just been granted official status as a "police village." Assisted by Sir Allan MacNab Upon arrival, having lost all their possessions on the journey, the Stewarts presented themselves at the home of Sir Allan Napier MacNab, future 1st Baronet of Dundurn Castle, future pre-confederation Premier of the United Provinces of Canada, then a very successful local land speculator, lawyer and politician. MacNab's family came from farmtoun of Dundurn in Scotland, in the same parish of Comrie where our Stewarts came from. Their families were not merely neighbours, they were likely related as Peter's grandmother was a MacNab from nearby to Dundurn. Sir Allan MacNab helped our Stewarts get established in Hamilton by acquiring housing for Peter's older brother Duncan Stewart along York Street across from the then-under-construction Dundurn Castle. Peter's older siblings, John Stewart, and William McCallum, lived nearby and were likely also assisted by MacNab, although we lack documentation to be sure. Settling in Puslinch With the older Stewart siblings established in Hamilton, the younger siblings and their widowed mother acquired a land grant for future farm development on Concession 3, Lot 19-rear, in Puslinch Township, Wellington County, Ontario, just southwest of the newly settled village of Guelph, Ontario. (See map above.) It is likely that MacNab aided in their land acquisition. The Puslinch settlers included: widow Catharine Stewart (age 60), and siblings, Robert Stewart, Jr. (21), Catharine Stewart (18), Peter Stewart (14) and William Stewart (9). They arrived in Puslinch in 1834. There was only one road between Hamilton and Guelph in 1834. It would have been a rough dirt path through the forest. At the time that they settled in Puslinch, their land was still uncleared, rough forest - they were true pioneer settlers, and they were the first Europeans to live on their land. Before they could farm their land or even build a house, they first had to clear the land of trees. Peter's older brother, Robert, became head of the household in Puslinch and married shortly thereafter to Mary Gillespie, whose family shared the same land. First Winter in a Shanty Their first winter was spent in little more than a shack. Peter Stewart’s childhood memory described it as “a shanty without any door but an old country blanket hung over.” Bears, wolves, and rattlesnakes were common hazards. Peter recalled a bear actually barging into the shanty at one point. As someone who has lived through many southern Ontario winters, I can only imagine how harsh it must have been. Highlanders were hardy people. Peter and the Drunk Oxen It appears that Peter was a bit wild while growing up. His memoirs tell of a time while he was helping clear a neighbour's farm land. "There was a great work party with many neighbours and their oxen working to clear trees and stumps." Peter's team of oxen were going slower than everyone else's so he fed them each a bottle of whisky. Apparently they perked up a bit afterwards! He also comments that fortunately they were not his oxen! Peter also used to haul whisky to Toronto for David Allen of Guelph. Peter and his partner Robert Allen (David's brother) would sell the whisky for $0.20/gallon. Their trip from Guelph to Toronto and back would take four days. Peter Helps Build the Brock Road Between 1838-1846, Peter worked as a road builder, like his older brother, Duncan. Peter worked for Absalom Shade, one of the founders of the town of Galt, to build what is now Brock Road through west Puslinch township. This work provided a significant secondary income for the Stewart household. (This story may have been confused with a later story below.) Tragedy - a Family Orphaned by Smallpox In 1848, tragedy struck the Stewart household in the form of a smallpox outbreak in the community, killing Peter's brother, Robert Stewart, his wife Mary Gillespie, and their mother Widow Catharine Stewart (MacNaughtan), leaving Robert's four children orphaned. Siblings Catharine Stewart and Peter Stewart (now ages 32 and 28) stepped up to help raise the orphaned children, including Robert III (age 12), Hugh (9) and Catharine (7). The youngest orphan, James (2), initially went to live with his aunt, Margaret Stewart and her husband William McCallum, in Hamilton, but later rejoined his siblings in Puslinch. The 1851 census shows Peter and his sister, Catharine, with orphans Robert (14), Hugh (12), and (10) Catharine residing with them in Puslinch, Ontario, Canada. Orphan James was residing with his aunt Margaret in Hamilton. They are residing in a 1 storey log house. Life on the Farm in Puslinch Peter finally secured the deed of ownership for the family property in 1854: "Province of Canada, Deed to Peter Stewart, Clergy Reserve Land To Peter Stewart of the township of Puslinch in the county of Wellington, yeoman and his heirs At the price of 75 pounds (Approximately $16,000 Cdn in 2022.) One hundred acres, the rear or north half of the clergy reserve lot number 19 in the 3rd concession of the township of Puslinch Signed at Quebec this 9th day of October 1854, in the 18th year of our reign." In 1861, Peter was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada (his age is shown incorrectly as 30) with his sister, Catharine, and the orphans Robert, Hugh, Catharine and James. Also living with them is Peter's older sister, Jane McCowan (nee Stewart, age 60) and her son, Peter McCowan (age 23). They are shown to be still residing in a log home at this time. Peter Fights off a Bear with a Branding Iron “A bear came and got among the pigs and took one of them. I took a fire brand and gave chase, overtook the bear and struck him across the head, but he would not let loose the pig. [Our] dog, a large, heavy one, made an attack on the bear. Still he would not let loose, but he took the pig to the hill in the bush and had a good meal out of it and left what he could not eat under a turned-up maple tree.” - Peter Stewart Peter Builds the Stone Farmhouse It is estimated that Peter's stone farmhouse was built sometime in the 1860s or 1870s. It seems likely that he may have wanted to have it built in time for his new bride to move into in 1866. Peter Marries Catherine McLean and Raises a Family Peter and Catherine raised their niece and nephews until they were old enough to live on their own. (For the story of the orphans and their descendants, see Robert Stewart, Jr.) It was only after the orphans were grown and gone that, in 1866, Peter, then age 46, married the young Catherine McLean, age 23, half his age. Together they had nine children of their own. Witnesses at Peter and Catherine Mclean's wedding included their nephew, Hugh Stewart and Peter's younger brother, William Stewart. In 1871, Peter was residing at concession 3, lot 19, in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, as the property owner, employed as a farmer, residing with his sister, Catharine, and his wife, Catherine, and their children Mary (4), Robert (3) and newborn Catherine Ann. Also residing with them is Peter's nephew, Edward (13), son of Peter's brother, William Stewart. Peter's older sister, Jane, and her son, Peter McCowan (McGowan) was also residing with them. (p2, line4, family 6,) He has 100 acres with one house, one barn, 2 carriages/sleighs, 3 carts/wagons/sleds, 3 ploughs, 1 reaper, and 1 fanning mill. He has improved 75 of his 100 acres, with 10 acres in pasture, 2 acres in gardens or orchards, 10 acres in wheat, yielding 90 bushels in spring wheat and 100 bushels in fall wheat, 80 bushels in barley, 200 bushels in oats, 60 bushels in peas, 1 acre yielding 200 bushels in potatoes, 1600 bushels in turnips, 50 bushels in beets, 40 bushels in carrots, 8 acres yielding 15 tonnes of hay, and 30 bushels of apples. He has 3 horses over 3 years old, 1 colt or filly, 4 milk cows, 7 other horned cattle, 20 sheep, 4 swine. In the past year he slaughtered 3 cattle, 22 sheep, 6 swine. He generated 200 pounds of butter, 80 pounds of homemade cheese, 100 pounds of wool, 20 yards of homemade cloth or flannel, and 11 cords of firewood. Barn Fire Revenge In 1877, the farm next door to Peter came up for auction for $1500 (approximately equivalent to $3.4 million in 2020) due to the owner, Patrick McGuinness', failure to pay the mortgage. Patrick McGuinness was so upset about losing his farm to his neighbour that he torched Peter's barn that night. The fire killed all of Peter's livestock and destroyed all of his farm equipment. Patrick McGuinness was sentenced to 3 years hard labour in Kingston Penitentiary. In 1881, Peter Stewart was residing in Puslinch, Ontario, Canada, employed as a farmer and living with his wife and children. His sister, Catharine Stewart, and nephew, Peter McGowan, are not listed with the family. Tragically, in 1883, Peter's wife Catherine died prematurely at the young age of 40, leaving Peter and his sister Catherine to raise his children. In 1891, Peter Stewart was a widower residing in Puslinch, Ontario, Canada, employed as a farmer, and living with his sister, his children, and his nephew Peter McGowan, who was working in the Stewart house as a servant. Peter Gravels the Brock Road "Mr. Peter Stewart has completed the gravelling on the Brock Road from Hamilton's Hotel to Aberfoyle. Judges say that the work is most satisfactory. The overseer, Mr. John Card, is also highly pleased with the work." - Guelph Mercury, Saturday, October 17, 1896. (As this story closely resembles the earlier Brock Road story, it's possible that only the latter is true and the earlier is a mis-remembering of this story.) In 1901, Peter Stewart was residing in Puslinch, Ontario, Canada as a widowed farmer, with several of his younger children, his sister, Catharine, and his nephew, Peter McGowan. Peter Stewart and Duff’s Presbyterian Church Peter served as an elder at Duff’s Presbyterian Church for 27 years. He also ran the local Sabbath School for many years. He was remembered as an esteemed and generous man. Death Peter Stewart and his sister Catherine remained on the family farm until they died in 1901 and 1904 respectively. The Stewart family farm house is located at 6981 Puslinch Conc. 4, RR # 6, Guelph, Ontario. Peter Stewart's stone house still stands. It is now owned by the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada. --------------------------------------------------------- McPhatter Letter, full text, 1898 (Peter would have been 78 years old when he gave the following account. This was only three years before his death in 1901.) Peter Stewart was born in St. Fillans, Perthshire, Scotland in 1822 (sic) and arrived in Canada in 1834 and arrived in Puslinch the same year and bought this farm from a man named James Burnside and has lived here ever since and have now 200 acres of land, all in good order and a well stocked farm. He can remember many of old time reminiscences of earlier days. On the way out from the old country with five brothers and five sisters, one of the sisters' husbands died in Montreal from cholera and that dreaded disease was prevalent all over Canada at that time. On the way up from Montreal, there were twenty-one oxen teams driven by French Canadians, and on the way the rapids were about to take the teams into the river. The ropes were cut and the boat was left broadside against a rock, but we were all saved by being allowed to remain on the rock till morning, and arrived safe in Toronto. We remained there three weeks and we arrived in Hamilton. We could not get a house to live in on account of the cholera. We stayed in Hamilton till the next fall. [This contradicts the earlier account that they arrived in Montreal in 1834 and arrived in Puslinch the same year.] Early days in the bush I have started out with my oxen on Monday morning and did not return till Saturday night being at a logging bee down on the 1st Concession and the Gore every day in the week. At one logging bee, when whisky was plentiful and good, Charles Borthwick was grog boss and I was driving a neighbour's oxen, and they were very heavy and lazy, and I got tired driving them and in the afternoon I gave each ox a bottle of whisky. I had the liveliest team in the field! And the oxen, I am glad to say, belonged to Kenneth McKenzie, an old Puslinch neighbour, now of Burnside, Manitoba. However, I must here say that in those days that the neighbours were so good to each other and would be happy to have to eat a scone made of flour and water, and we would have some wild gooseberries stewed and maple sugar with potatoes, venison and sometimes bear meat. We were very happy. Another time we had a shanty to live in without any door but an old country blanket hung over, when [a] bear came and got among the pigs and took one of them. I took a fire brand and gave chase, overtook the bear and struck him across the head, but he would not let loose the pig. [Our] dog, a large, heavy one, made an attack on the bear. Still he would not let loose, but he took the pig to the hill in the bush and had a good meal out of it and left what he could not eat under a turned-up maple tree. Many other of histories I can relate of hunting bears and deer. One evening we caught a good sized cub, killed him and took his pelt off when the old bear came along and we had all we could do to keep her away -- the roars of her was terrible. Then the old bear [came] along and we had all we could do to keep her away. [Later] she was looking for her cub and came [when] we were all in bed. In those days there no concession and roads made, but [just] trails and blazes on the trees so that we could see. And I can well remember Shades Road through Puslinch. It follow on near where the Accommodation Road now is on the Blind Line between the 4th Concession and the 5th Concession and we at that time followed Shades Road with our loads of maple sugar on our backs to Galt. Another incident of early days was hauling whisky to Toronto with two yokes of oxen with a wagon for David Allen of Guelph. His brother, Robert Allen, and I started from Guelph before daylight in the morning for Toronto with a big load and we sold whisky all the way down and we took four days on our way there and home. We sold it out by the barrel for twenty cents per gallon. I have raised a family of nine children, four girls and five boys, all at home, but two [are now] in Manitoba. Peter Stewart ---------------------------------- Obituary: Peter Stewart. In Puslinch on Tuesday, December 3, 1901, aged 82. Funeral will take place from his residence, lot 19, 3rd concession, Puslinch on Thursday at 1. Friends and acquaintances will please accept this notice. An old and respected resident of the township, he died after a long illness at his home this morning. In 1834 his widowed mother, with a family of ten came from Perthshire, Scotland. By industry and frugality, a comfortable home was provided. He leaves a family of nine, five sons and four daughters, viz: Robert, Harris, Kenneth and Mrs. David McNaughton in Manitoba and Mary, Neil, Duncan, Lizzie and Maggie and his sister, Miss Catherine, at home. Mr. Stewart was associated with Duff's Church ever since its organization and was an earnest and consistent member. For many years, even until his infirmities prevented, he was an active worker in the Sabbath school on the 3rd concession. For 27 years he was an elder of the church, serving faithfully and always taking an active and intelligent interest in all the work of the church. His home was ever characterized by kind hospitality and generous gifts to the needy. He was well known and highly esteemed for his goodness of heart, honest frankness, humility, purity of life and nobleness of character. During the last few years he suffered from repeated strokes of paralysis and for over seven months was unable to leave his room, where his family, kind neighbours and friends, ministered constantly to his needs until his peaceful deliverance came. The service was conducted by Rev. W. Robertson of Duff's Church assisted by the Rev. Mr. McDonald of Hespeler. Interment Crown Cemetery. Pallbearers: Alexander McCaig, Allan McDiarmid, Andrew Munro, John A. Cockburn, Hugh Ross and William McKay. Miss Catherine Stewart, now 84, who has always lived with her brother, is the only surviving member of the ten who constituted their family. ------------------------------------------------ Historical Atlas of the County of Wellington, Ontario. Toronto: Historical Atlas Publishing Co., 1906 STEWART, Peter (d.). This respected Puslinch pioneer was b. in Perthshire, Scot., in 1817, and came to Canada in 1832. He stopped at Hamilton a year, and came up to Puslinch in 1833, and purchased 200 acres, lot 19, con. 3, where he settled, living on this farm the balance of his long and useful life. There were no roads back to the third concession when the late Peter Stewart made is settlement, and he followed a "blazed" path through the unbroken forest to his land. He made a small clearing and erected a log shanty. This farm he cleared, and though starting in the world without means, became a very successful man, and was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. He took an active interest in church matters, and was one of the founders of Duff's Church [sic. Peter's mother was a founder. Peter was a child at the time.], and an Elder in it for many years. In politics he was a Liberal, although outside of being a School Trustee, he never sought municipal honors. | Stewart, Peter (I17906)

| 1746 | Christian MacNab is described in The Scottish Journal as "a daughter of the Laird of MacNab." However Stirnet shows her as the daughter of "General MacNab of MacNab." The only contemporary 'General McNab' was Lieut. Gen. Archibald MacNab who was a son of the Laird of MacNab. Christian fits perfectly as Archibald's daughter. Thus Stirnet is presently preferred as a corrective to The Scottish Journal. | MacNab, Christian (I9317)

| 1747 | Christian McDonald's birth has not been identified. However she is a perfect chronological and onomastic match for Christy McDonald, born Mar 1805, daughter of John McDonald of Blarcrioch and Margaret Stewart of Cashlies. If so, this would make Christian's daughter Anne McKinley a distant cousin of her husband, Alexander Stewart. The only hitch is that Mrs Stewart of Milton in her account of this family says that Christy McDonald died in childhood. However, Mrs Stewart of Milton has been found to be incorrect on other similar claims. | McDonald, Christina (I9926)

| 1748 | Christian McIntyre was born in 1802 in Carnlia on the west side of Glen Beich in Balquhidder parish, Perthshire, Scotland. Christian married on 10 JUL 1829 in Balquhidder and 22 JUL 1829 in Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland to her maternal cousin, John Stewart, b. Abt 27 Jul 1802, Ardveich, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland , d. 1836, McNab Township, Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada (Age ~ 33 years). He was born almost next-door in Ardveich on the east side of Glen Beich, but in Comrie parish, Perthshire, Scotland. He was living in Kilmadock at the time of their marriage. Later that same year, they had their first child, Ann. Her birth record has not been found. In 1831, at age 29, Christian and her family immigrated to Renfrew, Ontario, Canada with her extended McIntyre family. They had an infant daughter Ann with them. They stopped briefly in Grenville, Quebec, Canada, where their second daughter Margaret was born, before finally settling in Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada. In 1835, Christian's husband, John Stewart, was tragically killed: “Then, for a time, Rev. Mr. Fairbairn, the Ramsay minister, came occasionally to visit the people. And in connection with his coming, there occurred one of the early and memorable tragedies of the district. It was probably about the year 1835 that the people were going to meet with Mr. Fairburn at John Fisher’s on the south side of the Madawaska, near Burnstown. Those on the north side went across in canoes. A number had safely crossed the swiftly swirling waters at that point, on this side as on former occasions; but the canoe containing John McNab (known as Auchessan McNab), John Stewart (father of the late “Churchfield John”, and the blacksmith McArthur with his two children, capsized. McArthur managed to swim ashore with one child, but McNab, Stewart, and the other child were all swept down by the current and drowned. For many days the neighbours “dragged” the waters till the bodies were found." (The Story of Renfrew - From the Coming of the First Settlers About 1820 by W. E. Smallfield and Rev. Robert Campbell, D.Sc. Renfrew, Smallfield and Son, 1919) They have not been found in 1841. In the 1851 census Christian is shown as "Mrs John Stewart, widow", residing with her three children in McNab, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada. Christian's death certificate records her as being born in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland and as the wife of the late John Stewart. The informant was her son, John Stewart in McNab Township, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada. | McIntyre, Christian (I10061)

| 1749 | Christian NcKiall married Duncan Galloch, but it is not confirmed that it is this Duncan Galloch. This arrangement represents the author's hypothesis. The surname NcKiall (more correctly NicKiall) is the female form of MacKiall, which is probably MacKyle (in English) or MacCaol (in Gaelic). Caol means "narrows, channel, or strait." | NcKiall, Christian (I11720)
