| 1755 | 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)
|
| 1756 | 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)
|
| 1757 | 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)
|
| 1758 | 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)
|
| 1759 | Catherine was deceased prior to the writing of her father's will in 1851. | McLaren, Catherine (I25592)
|
| 1760 | Catherine was likely baptised on 27 APR 1818 in Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland as the daughter of John MacFarlane and Catherine Sinclair, however this birth is not confirmed. | Ferguson, Catherine (I5946)
|
| 1761 | Catherine was the last McKinlay to reside at the Annie in Strathyre. | McKinlay, Catherine (I10314)
|
| 1762 | Catherine's baptismal record in the OPR reads: "______ Stewart, bap 9 MAY 1819 in Ledcrich." Catherine's known birth matches with this unnamed child. John and Catherine were residing with their children in 1851 at 7 Bridge End, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, and 1861 in Kilmahog, Perthshire, Scotland. In 1871 they were residing back in Callander. Census 1851 - 7 Bridge End, Callander John Buchanan (Head) 35 ; b. 1816 Callall, Perthshire ; Weaver Catharine Buchanan (Wife) 31 ; b. 1820 Callall, Perthshire ; Weaver's Wife Duncan Buchanan (Son) 7 ; b. 1844 Callall, Perthshire ; Scholar At Home Donald Buchanan (Son) 5 ; b. 1846 Callall, Perthshire ; Scholar At Home Agness Buchanan (Daur) 2 ; b. 1849 Callall, Perthshire ; Weaver's Daur Margret Stewart (Boarder) 35 ; b. 1816 Glenelg, Invernessshire ; Pauper, insane (Her father's name was Robert according to the ScotlandsPeople index.) On 10 Dec 1910, at age 92, Catherine Stewart, died at 48 Bank Street, Alexandria, Bonhill, Dumbarton, Scotland. She as widow of John Buchanan, a printfield worker, daughter of Duncan Stewart, shepherd, and Agnes Stewart nee MacGregor, both deceased. The informant was Colin McKenzie, her son-in-law. | Stewart, Catherine (I21391)

| 1763 | Catherine's exact place of birth is not specified in the Callander OPR. | Stewart, Catherine (I15287)
|
| 1764 | Catherine's husband, David McNaughton, had children from a prior marriage. MCNAUGHTON, CATHERINE ANNIE (Nee Stewart) At Brookdale, MN, on August 22, 1936. Catherine Stewart, wife of the late David McNaughton. Funeral on Wednesday, August 26, 1936 at 2, from the home of her sister, Mrs. Margaret I Stewart, of Morriston. Interment Crown Cemetery. An unusual and sad coincidence occurred when two sisters, Mrs. Annie McNaughton and Elizabeth Stewart passed away within a week of each other. Elizabeth Stewart had been caring for her aged aunt Margaret Maclean of Los Angeles, California. Margaret passed away, and her niece took the remains to Carberry Man for burial. About two weeks later, Mrs McNaughton became ill. and was nursed by her sister Elizabeth till Mrs. McNaughton died a few days after, then took her body back to Guelph where Elizabeth was taken to hospital from the train and died two days later, August 28, 1936. Both funerals were from the home of their sister, Mrs. Margaret Stewart of Morriston Elizabeth was a graduate of the Guelph General Hospital and her life was one of continual service in the profession of nursing in Manitoba and United States. She is survived by four brothers, Robert of Marigold BC; Duncan of Calgary. AB Harris of Portage la Prairie, MB and Neil, of Morriston; and one sister Mrs. Margaret Stewart of Morriston. Mrs. NcNaughton is survived by one son, James of Los Angeles and three daughters, Mrs. O W Reinmuth of Lincoln, Nebraska, Minnie of Montreal; and Mrs. Ramsay of Brookdale, Manitoba. Also four brothers and one sister. Elizabeth and Annie NcNaughton were daughters of Peter Stewart, one of the oldest and most highly respected pioneers of Puslinch Township. They were both lifelong church workers and liberal supporters, Margaret Maclean who passed away in Los Angeles, was also a former resident and pioneer of Puslinch, and a pioneer of Manitoba, where she went with her mother and brothers when Manitoba was unsettled. Late she made her home in LA until her death. She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Mary Clark of Wellwood, Manitoba. | Stewart, Catherine Annie (I15397)
|
| 1765 | Catherine's husband, James Gourlay, is mentioned in Catherine's brother Walter Stewart's will. | Stewart, Catharine (I21680)
|
| 1766 | Catherine's place of birth is uncertain. It is presumed to be St. Anicette as that is where her mother died in 1862, however her baptism is not recorded in the Chateauguay transcriptions and the 1881 census indicates that she was born in Ontario. 01-22-1864 Catherine Lucy Stewart, youngest daughter of James D. Stewart, Esq. St Anicet died at the age of 06 years, and 02 months (The Gleaner newspaper, Huntingdon, Quebec, 1864) Catherine Stewart is buried in Zion United Church Cemetery, St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. | Stewart, Catherine Lucy (I15356)
|
| 1767 | Catherine's surname is found with all the following variants: McArthur, McKercher, McKerracher, McArchir, McKaricher. | McArthur, Catherine (I9715)
|
| 1768 | Caution - There is another contemporary John Stewart in Wester Brig o' Turk who belongs to Glenbuckie Branch III.3. There is a risk of duplication here. John Stewart was a tacksman at Brig o' Turk and one of the eight portioners of Glenfinglas who was involved in "The Glen Affair" in 1755, but was deceased by the time of the Appeal in 1772 and was represented by his "only son and heir" Walter. No record has been found of John Stewart's birth. His age at death is not recorded. His birth shown here is merely an estimate. Stewarts of the South says the following of John's family: "But the nearest of them in this country is one Walter Stewart, an unworthy person, [who] was son to John Stewart, [and] was [a] tacksman [of] Wester Bridge of Turk, [belonging to the] Earl [of] Murray [in] Callander parish. His grandfather, Walter Stewart, [was] son to Duncan Stewart, 12th (8th) of Glenbuckie [and Duncan’s wife, who was] a daughter to Graham of Dochry (Jean Graham of Duchray). He was, some years ago, turned out of that farm for some misconduct or other. His mother was of Balchallan. It was for the small crime of cutting an oak tree [that] he was turned out and he denied the charge, but it was proven and no argument would prevail with the Earl of Murray to let him stay because of not letting the truth. But other people were undermining him. He had one eighth of Glenfinglas. He is now a poor cottager - a real contrast of his progenitors, which shows the uncertainty of human affairs. He has four sons." Stewarts of the South is incorrect that John married "a woman of Balachallan." It was actually his father, Walter, who married a Stewart of Ballachallan. The following birth in the Callander OPR may belong to this John Stewart: "John Stewart and Janet Ferguson, Wester Bridge of Turk, 17 Nov 1733, 17 Nov 1733, Christian." As we do not know when John Stewart was born, it is difficult to determine if he would be of parenting age in 1733. The Callander OPR records that John Stewart, Tacksman of Wester Bridge of Turk, and Effie McCallum, an unmarried woman, had a daughter born and baptized on 18? May 1752, named Catharine. Alison Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions reads: "Laedere Noli. Lieut. Walter Stewart, wife Agnes Stewart 8.1.1756, age 80, by son John, 1760." On 5 Mar 1761, John Stewart at Bridge of Turk in Callander parish married Mrs. Isabel Graham, widow of Harry/Henry Graham of Balleich. She had three daughters by her first marriage. ("5 Mar 1761, Mr. John Stewart at Bridge of Turk in Callander parish and Mrs. Isabel Graham in Reiland, to the deceast(?) Hary Graham, Tacksman in Balleich." Aberfoyle OPR) According to John's testament (see below), he died on or before 13 Aug 1767. As his wife is not mentioned in his testament, it is presumed that she predeceased him sometime after their last son, Walter, was born on 1 Apr 1765. Their children were still minors at the time and were not eligible to inherit until 13 July 1780. The cautioners listed in the testament were Alexander Stewart at Bohelechan and formerly at Bridge of Turk and William Graham at Kirktown of Aberfoil. Alexander Stewart has not been identified in other records, but is likely a brother or close cousin. William Graham is likely John's brother-in-law. ------- Possible children: John Stewart and Janet Ferguson, Wester Bridge of Turk, 17 Nov 1733, 17 Nov 1733, Christian John Stewart and Mary Mcfarlane, Easter Bridge of Turk, 23 Apr 1759, 26 Apr 1759, Margaret Water Mcfarlane and Catharine Stewart, Wester Bridge of Turk, 20 Apr 1750, 25 Apr 1750, John Walter Mcfarlane and Catharine Stewart, Wester Bridge of Turk, 21 Jul 1752, 28 Jul 1752, Janet ---------------- Testament John Stewart sometime at Bridge of Turk thereafter at Balleich.

Summapalet Confirmed 13th July 1780 Alexander Stewart late at Bridge of Turk now at Bohelechan and William Graham at Kirktown of Aberfoil Cautioners Commentary The following persons are named above: David Stewart late Tacksman of Glenfinglass - He was Dr. David Stewart in Auchnahard, younger son of the late Capt. Alexander Stewart, 10th of Glenbuckie, cousin-german to the deceased John Stewart, 2nd in Brig o' Turk. Dr. David Stewart was the rightful heir to the estate of Glenbuckie. At the time of John Stewart's death in 1767, Dr. David Stewart was involved in a contentious lawsuit vigorously attempting to reclaim the estate of Glenbuckie. He would have been chieftain of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie at the time. Daniel Stewart Exer - Donald (Daniel) Stewart, Executor to the deceased John Stewart in Brig o' Turk has not been identified. Alexander Stewart late at Bridge of Turk now at Bohelechan - John Stewart in Easter Brig o' Turk (not the same person as the deceased John Stewart, 2nd in Brig o' Turk) had a brother, Alexander Stewart, in Ardcheanochdan at this time. They belonged to the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran Branch IV.1. He is believed, but not confirmed, to be the Alexander Stewart mentioned in the testament above. It is uncertain why such a remote cousin would be confirming the testament. It is possible that they may have been more closely related through a maternal link not yet discovered. William Graham at Kirktown of Aberfoil - presumed to be a relative a distant relative of the deceased John Stewart's late wife, Isabel Graham. He could not be her brother or he would have succeeded to the estate of Balleich. | Stewart, John 2nd in Brig o' Turk and Balleich (I25231)

| 1769 | Cecil John Angus was born in 1902 in Halton, Lancashire, England. In 1912, at age 9, Cecil John Angus immigrated with his birth family from Lancashire, England to Quebec, Canada, bound for Michigan, USA. Between 1921-1938, Cecil John Angus seems to have travelled frequently between Michigan, USA and southwestern, Ontario, Canada. Cecil John Angus worked as a journeyman millwright in an auto factory in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan. In 1938, at ag 36, Cecil John Angus married in Listowel, Perth, Ontario, Canada to 36-year-old Mary Alberta Alexandria Cowan. Despite their ages, neither had been previously married. They had one known child, William R Angus, born in 1941. | Angus, Cecil John (I20727)

| 1782 | Census records and children's marriage records indicate that John Farslow came from Ireland. However, Farslow does not appear to be a Protestant surname domestic to Ireland. It is, however, found in Wales. And, since John's descendants were Methodist (a denomination popular in Wales) it seems likely that the Farslows were Welsh imports into Northern Ireland sometime in the 18th century or earlier. | Farslow, John (I5844)
|
| 1783 | Census records consistently indicate that Jeanette was born in 1783 in Scotland, although her parents were both American born. As her father, Capt. Jock Stewart, was a British Loyalist, it seems likely that they fled back to Scotland after the American Revolution and did not return to American until years later when it was safe to do so. According to family records Jeannette married on 25 DEC 1808 at the residence of Lovick Ventress in Tennessee, USA, to James Ventress, b 1778 in Virginia, USA, d 8 FEB 1867, younger brother of Lovick Ventress (husband of Janett's sister, Elizabeth Stewart). Family records indicate that Jeanette was the daughter of Capt. Jock Stewart by his first wife (un-named) who died when Jeanette was an infant. Jeanette was then raised by Lovick Ventress and his wife Elizabeth Stewart (Jeanette's aunt). Jeanette grew up and married Lovick's younger brother, James Ventress. In 1850 James and Jeanette were residing in District 13, Robertson County, Tennessee, USA. In 1860 James and Jeanette were residing in Western Division, Robertson County, Tennessee, USA | Stewart, Jeanette C. (I22003)
|
| 1784 | Census records give conflicting accounts of James' birth. Given the commonality of his name, the following account warrants review. In 1834, when James was 29-years-old, his parents and younger siblings packed up and moved to Canada. James already had a family established at this point and chose to stay behind. In 1841, James was residing on Warroch Street in St. Mark's parish, Barony, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland with his wife Margaret and sons Hugh and James. James Sr. was employed as a journeyman iron moulder. In 1851, James was residing in Deanston, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, employed as an iron moulder in a cotton mill, born 1804 in Denny, Stirling, Scotland. Residing with his wife, M. Gillespie, b 1803 in Kincardine, Perthshire, Scotland, and their children J. (James) Gillespie, b 1837, and J. (John) Gillespie, b 1846. In 1861, James was residing in #2 First Division (Deanston Works), Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, employed as an iron moulder, with his wife Margaret and son John. James has not been found in 1871. | Gillespie, James (I6887)
|
| 1785 | Census records give her place of birth as Arrochar, Argyllshire, but FTM corrects that to Dumbartonshire. It's not confirmed that they are the same location. | MacFarlane, Margaret (I21397)
|
| 1786 | Census records show her name as "Jane A Pringle." Family records indicate that she was Jane Ann Giddings, daughter of Erastus Giddings who died in 1838. | Giddings, Jane Ann (I6820)
|
| 1787 | Census records show his name as "David" but he is believed to be the "Duncan" Clark recorded in Stewart family records as having immigrated with his family to Australia. Duncan and David are known substitute names for each other. | Clark, Duncan David (I2746)

| 1792 | Charles Angus Jr. was born in 1897 in Lancaster, Lancashire, England.

| 1794 | Charles birth is a bit of a mystery. He is recorded in the Balquhidder OPR as being born at Tighnacoil, which is the primary residence of the Stewarts in Cuill. His parents are recorded as being "James and Catharine Stewart", which matches chronologically perfectly with James Stewart, 2nd in Cuill, known as "Seamas na Coille" and his wife Catharine Stewart who were married in 1749 and had their first confirmed child in 1750. However, it would violate onomastics that they would name their first son, Charles. Thus it is inconceivable that Charles could be their son. However, there was another James Stewart also living at Tighnacoil -- named James Stewart, 1st in Cuill. It is therefore suggested, but not verified, that Charles was a much younger brother of Seamas na Coille rather than his son. | Stewart, Charles (I15525)

| 1799 | Charles E. Stewart is mentioned in the wills of his father and mother. He is also mentioned in the will of his grandfather, Charles Stewart, as his designated heir. After the death of his father, Charles was placed in the custody of his maternal grandfather (or uncle), John Netterville. Later census records indicate that the estate he inherited was worth about $150,000 (about $5.5 million in 2024). Charles E Stewart is mentioned in a slave ad: "Stewart, Charles E (minor heir): The slave Ham was to be sold by John Netterville guardian of Charles E. Stewart, May 3rd at public auction." (Wilkinson Republican 23 April 1836) In 1850, at age 17, Charles E Stewart was attending boarding school in Williamson, Tennessee, USA, along with his cousin, D. DeGraffenreid. No record of his marriage has been found. His wife Rachel's maiden name is unknown. In 1860, at age 27, Charles E. Stewart was residing in Wilkinson, Mississippi, USA with his wife and two children. He was employed as a planter on an estate with a real estate value of $20,000 (about $750,000 in 2024) and a total value of $150,000 (about $5.5 million in 2024). He owned 69 enslaved persons ranging in age from 1 to 60. On 1 May 1861, Charles E. Stewart enlisted as a Private in the 1st Mississippi Infantry for the Confederate Army. Charles has not been found in the 1870 census. In 1880, at age 47, Charles E. Stewart was residing in Wilkinson, Mississippi, USA, with his wife and children. He was employed as a farmer. Charles and his entire family have not been found in records later than 1880. | Stewart, Pvt. Charles E. (Planter) (I25382)

| 1800 | Charles Edward Stewart was born in 1886 in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada. In 1901, Charles was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with his parents and siblings. He was employed as a Canadian Pacific telegraph operator. Later that year, Charles' parents moved to Teeswater, Bruce, Ontario, Canada. It is presumed that Charles moved with them as he would only have been 15 years old at the time. In 1906 Charles mother died prematurely leaving his widowed father with a family of young children to raise. Charles would have been 20 years old at the time. Two years later, in 1908, Charles was in Rainy River, Ontario, Canada (in far western Ontario, about 40 km from the Manitoba border), where he married Edna Winkler. She was born in Bentinck, Bruce, Ontario, Canada (about 30 km east of Teeswater and south of Owen Sound), where her father was a hotel keeper and later a postmaster, but her family was residing Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada by 1906. This would suggest that Charles and Edna met in Bruce County and that he likely followed her family to Winnipeg. The fact that he married so soon after, and so far away from, his mother's death is noteworthy. In 1911, Charles and Edna were residing in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada where he was employed as a telegraph operator for a telephone exchange. He was working 60 hours per week and earning $0.35 per hour. His earnings the previous year were $1260 for the year(approximately $32,000 in 2022 value), putting them just barely above the poverty line. They were living with her mother at the time. In 1916, Charles was residing in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada with his wife, Edna. He was employed as a telegraph operator in a telegraph office. On 31 Aug 1916, Charles arrived in Plymouth, England, for his military service in WWI. His younger brother Edward served at the same time. It's not known if they served together. After Charles returned from the war there is no record of him until the time of his wife's untimely death. There is no record that they ever had children. Charles and Edna have not been found in 1921. In 1930, he would have received word that his baby brother Frank died from accidental asphyxiation. Sometime around 1933 Charles ceased working. The reason for ceasing employment is unknown. He may have lost his job or resigned. In 1936, Charles' wife, Edna, died in Winnipeg at the age of 51. The cause of her death is not recorded. His youngest sister Jennie died the same year. Her cause of death is unknown. In 1937, Charles' younger brother Edward died under tragic circumstances which may have been suicide. Sometime between 1937-1941, Charles father, Edward, died in Hamilton. It's not known if Charles was back in Hamilton and living with his father at the time or whether he was still in Winnipeg. He lost his mother when he was just 20. Shortly thereafter he was off to war with his younger brother. Who knows what trauma they experience? His employment paid poorly. Then in his mid-40s, within a space of about five years, starting in 1933, he lost his job, his wife died, his baby sister died, his younger brother died (possibly from suicide), and his father died. By 1941, Charles had returned to Hamilton and was residing at 220 Hunter Street East in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with his sister, Alma Stewart. On 10 Feb 1941, Charles died by suicide after leaping from the roof of Christie Street Hospital in Toronto. The report describes him as "mentally deranged" at the time. He was 54 years of age and widowed. His former occupation was recorded as telegraph operator, which he had been employed at for 30 years, but had not worked at in the past 8 years. Whether this account is exact or approximate, it would make his date of last employment around or just prior to untimely death of his wife. | Stewart, Charles Edward (I15546)
