|
| 1814 | Charles Jr. is not listed in Stewart Clan Magazine as one of the children of Charles Stewart and Polly Jones. He was born from a previous relationshiop. Charles Stewart (either this Charles or his father) 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.” (Jennifer Riley Stewart) In 1812, Charles served as a private in a Mississippie regiment. Charles served as a judge in Tennessee or Mississippi. On 26 Jan 1832, Charles Jr. entered into a business partnership with his brother Duncan to share ownership and management of the family farm on behalf of their elderly father (who would have been 71). On 8 July 1833, the agreement was ratified in front of witnesses to affirm the clauses of inheritance in the event of the death of one of the parties. This attestation was signed only by Charles Stewart Junr. Thus, Duncan Stewart died between Jan 1832-Jul 1833. On 15 March 1835, Judge Charles Stewart Jr died of a heart-attack. Charles' will, dated 1835, identifies only two heirs: his wife Mary and his minor grandson, Charles, who was in under the guardianship of John Netterville. The will was witnessed by Charles' nephew, Matthew F. deGraffenreid. ---------------- Charles Stewart’s Jr. Last Will Articles of agreement made and entered into this twenty sixth day of January in the year of our Lord, one thousand and Eight hundred and thirty two, between Duncan Stewart of this county of Wilkinson in the State of Mississippi of the one part, and Charles Stewart of the same County and State of the other part.

Charles Stewart Sr. on behalf of his heir and and grandchild...Miller. [It is now suspected that this pension application pertains to a different Charles Stewart. The matter is under review by our researchers.] | Stewart, Justice Charles Jr. (Planter) (I15524)
|
| 1815 | Charles Lewis Matthews was the only surviving child of George Matthews Jr son of the famous Revolutionary war General George Matthews. His grandfather was a Judge. George Jr was also a judge, first in Mississippi where he was born then later in Louisiana. Charles mother was Harriett Flower. At some point the original cemetery which is near the original site of the plantation house which burned in 1813 the cemetery was abandoned and desecrated with all the Matthews graves being removed to the Churchyard and all her ancestors and siblings left in the old abandoned cemetery stones broken and askew, ground pitted with empty graves, (FindAGrave) | Mathews, Justice Charles Lewis (I23806)

| 1817 | Charles married and moved to Australia. | Stewart, Charles (I15505)
|
| 1818 | Charles moved to Duart, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland between 1851-1861 for 27 years to assist with the running of the family's ancestral farm at Duart and to care for his three aged bachelor great-uncles. (Only two of these great-uncles have been identified: John and Robert Stewart. The third must be the husband of one of the daughters of Robert Stewart in Duart.) Charles is found residing with his great-uncle Robert Stewart in Duart in 1881. | Stewart, Charles (I15530)

|
| 1821 | Charles resided in Cape Fear River, North Carolina, USA and had issue. 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." (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome C, June 1935, vol. xii, no. 12, pp.125-126) | Carraway, Charles Stewart (I2488)
|
| 1822 | Charles Roberts is listed as a boarder with the Anguses in 1881. I am presuming he is the brother of Sarah Roberts. | Roberts, Charles (I13658)

| 1824 | Charles Stewart is described in the Balquhidder parish register as "begotten in fornication by Robert Stewart and Margaret Fisher, both in Lichscriden." | Stewart, Charles (I15526)
|
| 1825 | 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)
|
| 1826 | 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)
|
| 1827 | 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)

| 1828 | Charles Stewart's parents, three of his grandparents, and five of his great-grandparents were all surnamed Stewart -- each from different Stewart families. In 1851, at age 1, Charles Stewart was residing at Culnamoon (Collymoon Moss), Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland, with his parents and brother John. In 1861, at age 11, Charles Stewart was residing at Collymoon, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland, with his parents and sister, Margaret. He was a scholar. In 1871, at age 21, Charles Stewart was residing at Cottrie, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland, with his widowed father and sister Margaret. His occupation is not listed. In 1879, in Bridgeton, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, Charles Stewart married Margaret Blair. In 1881, at age 31, Charles Stewart was residing at Gateside, Kippen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his wife, Margaret. He was employed as a farmer of 33 arable acres employing one man. In 1891, at age 41, Charles Stewart was residing at Chartershall Farm, St. Ninians, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his wife and children. He was employed as a cattle dealer. In 1901, at age 51, Charles Stewart was residing at Brown Hill, St. Ninians, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his wife and children. He was employed as a farmer. Charles Stewart, farmer and cattle dealer, married to Margaret Blair, died on 29 Aug 1905 in Castlehill Farm, Polmaise, Stirlingshire, Scotland, age 55 years, son of Alexander Stewart, farmer (deceased) and Margaret Stewart, maiden name Stewart (deceased). Informant: Alexander Stewart (son). | Stewart, Charles (I15509)

| 1829 | 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)

| 1830 | 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.

| 1831 | 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)

|
| 1842 | 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.

|
| 1843 | 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)
|

| 1845 | 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)

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.

| 1847 | 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)

Charmian Bondi (M.A. Edinburgh, Scotland) is an international journalist, counsellor to victims of destructive leadership, and researcher in workplace bullying and organizational problems. She is involved in establishing self-help groups for victims of workplace harassment. In 1998 she contributed to a book, identifying some of the patterns of workplace bullying. Her chapter with Jan Gregersen in the present volume was initially presented at the Fourth International Conference on Bullying in the Workplace, Bergen, Norway, in June 2004. Postal address: Jarlsborgveien 5, N-0379 Oslo, Norway. Email: charmian@online.no The Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Vol. 3, p. 56, describes her as having married "a Swede." Her father was born in 1878, so either he was over 60 years old when she was born or there's a generation missing. However, information on her family came to us directly from her. | Stewart, Marjory Charmian Bruce 5th of Laggan (I15427)
