| 1856 | 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)

|
| 1864 | 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)
|
| 1865 | 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)

| 1866 | 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)
|
| 1867 | 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)

| 1868 | Christian Stewart never married or had children. She lived with her brother William and died of cancer at the age of 42. | Stewart, Christina (I15477)
|
| 1869 | Christian Stewart's birth family has not been identified. Onomastics suggests that her father may have been named Alexander or John Stewart and her mother named Mary or Margaret. On 10 Apr 1762, Christian Stewart married in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Patrick Stewart. Their marriage was also registered in Callander parish on 21 Apr 1762. Twenty days after their marriage, Christian Stewart gave birth to the couple's first child, Mary. --- Possible births for Christian Stewart in Callander parish include: - John Stewart and Janet Ferguson in Wester Bridge of Turk, 17 Nov 1733, 17 Nov 1733, Christian.

|
| 1875 | Christina Stewart married her first cousin, Thomas Stewart. Her mother and his father were sister and brother. But they were also second-cousins on her maternal grandmother's side and third-cousins on her paternal great-grandfather's side. They were also fourth-cousins on her mother's side and his father's side. It's a good thing they never had children. Their autosomal DNA results would have been a nightmare to sort out. This is an extreme example of endogamous community life. | Stewart, Christina (I15478)
|
| 1876 | Christina Stewart was born in 1852 in Findhuglen in upper Glen Artney, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. She was orphaned young and was raised by her older brothers. She lived with her older brother Donald Stewart for the entirety of her adult life and never married nor had children. Christina's father died when she was only 3 years old. Her mother died when she was 14. Census records suggest that she was raised by her older brother, John.

| 1892 | Clan O'Cahan (O'Cathain, O'Cahan, Keane, Kean, O'Kane, Kane, Cain, McCain). The eponymous ancestor of the O'Cahan Clan of Ulster was Cathain (which means "one who does battle"), who lived in the 9th Century, a descendant of Fergal mac Mael Duin, King of Tara (d. 772 A.D.), ancestor of the O'Neill Royal dynasty. The O'Cahan line branched off through Fergal's son, Conchobar, and is the senior cadet branch of the O'Neills. Known as "The Warrior Clan of Ulster". The O'Cahan family were under-kings (Ur-Righ) of the O'Neill dynasty and bore the titles "King of Limavaday, Kianaght, and Fir-na-Creabh" (the latter now the Barony of Coleraine). They also were the hereditary inaugurators of the O'Neill Kings. In Ulster the name is now usually found as Kane or O'Kane in Co. Derry, while in north Antrim the form McCain is often found. Cumagh, pronounced "Coey", is sometimes found Anglicized as "Guy". Donn = "brown". Cumagh Donn O'Cahan was either the son or nephew of Cumagh mac Mahon O'Cahan, both of whom were kings of Fir-na-Creabh (Coleraine, Ireland) and Keenaught. Cumagh mac Mahon O'Cahan was deposed in 1273. His father, Manus Of the Battle of Down was killed at the Battle of Down in 1260. | O'Cathan, Cumagh Donn (I11841)

| 1899 | Col. James Steuart was born about 1652 in Annat, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, as the son of Capt. John Stewart, 2nd of Annat, a Stewart loyalist. James eventually took up service in the Hanovarian army and was appointed Deputy Governor of Edinburgh Castle. He was later accused of being a Jacobite spy. Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "John of Annat had likewise by his second wife, 4 James Stewart, Lieutenant-Colonel to the Scots Regiment of Horse Guards and Deputy Governor of the Castle of Edinburgh, who had issue," His descendants are currently unknown. In the spring of 1680, Steuart was serving as a Lieutenant in the Royal Scots Grenadier Company and was sent to Tangiers to fight against the Moors. In the course of the combat, Lt. Steuart lost his leg. In1703, he was raised to the rank of Lt. Col. and appointed Dep. Gov. of Edinburgh Castle. On the night of September 8, 1715, the Jacobite army had recently formed in the northeast of Scotland under the Earl of Mar. James Drummond, 3rd Duke of Perth, was leading a secret expedition 80 to 100+ Jacobites into the city of Edinburgh with the intent of capturing the castle by scaling its walls with ropes and ladders and opening the postern gate to admit the Jacobites. They had help on the inside waiting for them. Lt. Col. James Steuart was in charge of the castle that night, on behalf of the Hanoverian government. He came from a strongly Jacobite family (the Stewarts of Annat) and his loyalties were doubted. He received word by letter that an attempt was going to be made to take the castle that night. He "made slyght of" the letter and dismissed it as nothing to worry about because Edinburgh Castle was too strong. He did not increase the guards and did nothing to prepare the castle for possible breach. Lt. Col. Steuart's aid, Lieutenant Lindsey became concerned and worried by Col. Steuart's lax response to the intelligence. Lindsey went to inspect the guards around the castle. He found only one guard on duty near the postern gate and that guard was in possession of scaling equipment. Lt. Lindsey then sounded the alarm and the party of Jacobites outside the castle walls were discovered and captured. Four of them were imprisoned in the Tollbooth and tried. One was hanged. Lt. Col. Steuart was accused of aiding the Jacobites by doing nothing to prepare the castle's defenses for possible attack, but there was insufficient evidence to say one way or the other. He was deemed unfit to be in charge of the castle, was dismissed from his position, and was sent back to his former unit as a half-pay officer for the remainder of his life He died in 1722.. (For details of Col. Stewart's career, see Mr. K. A. Moody-Stuart's article in the Scottish Historical Review, Vol. CCI, No. 81, Oct. 1923.) He is described as "sleepy or crafty" in his defence of Edinburgh Castle against the Jacobites in 1715 when they sought to take Edinburgh "by surprise and treachery." "It was September 8th at night and nynth in the morning that the atempt was designd at the postern gait. Our Ensign Arthur quho had a comand formerly as ensign in the Castle and was in reput for a whigg carryd it on and was principaly in the plott and a brother of his a doctor of medecin. These brothers had access at will to the garison on haveing been ane officer and the other by that means gott ane intimacy with all the officers there this they improvd and corrupted three common sentinals viz. Thomson, Angly and Holland that they showld assist them from the wall at quhat tyme they showld appoynt. There had at severall times a party of my Lord Drummond's men come over and I am persueded not under 100 were hid in and about the town by the Jacobit party besyds qubat Jacobits were prive to it here. They had prepared their scalding lethers with horells to kep them of the wall the syds of robpes and timber steps they ar to be seen in the laich parte of the Parliament howse and on the nynth of September all was in readyness, but my Lord Justice Clerk was apprisd of their design by a letter the night befor quhich he communicat to Cornell Stwart (Col. James Stewart, son of John Stewart of Annat) deputy governowr, and Liftenant Lindsie. Cornell Stewart made slight of it whither out of knavrie or that he thowght it impracticable I can not tell but he has been judged and outed of his post as gwiltie of the former and certainly he was to officiows with the Jacobite partie in the end of the Q[ueen's] reign, and had it not been for Lindsie, quho contrair to the Colonel's advise was very vigilant, the Castle had that night ben surprisd. He went about industriowsly all that night vewing carefully all the centry posts. He observed that there was a sentry wanting at that post next but one fo the postern gate he fownd him in confusion quhick mad him examin more neerly and under his feet he fownd the rops and cleeks of the scalding lethers and so he gave the alarme. The Com[p]onys that now ar cald the associat Volunteers were then a forming and the most active parte of them had been togither from the beginning of the King's reigne but especialy the first constitution was in the end of Queen Ann's reing but I shall afford yow ther story altogither and hope yowl pardon this degretion. Some of these gentlemen with Major Aikeman their leader and a party of the town gwaird were in readyness upon the Justice Clerk's advertisment and salied out at the West Port upon the alarme from the Castle but quhat loss it was the garison and they were not in consorte, for they before the sentries wowld...[original text is incomplete.]" (News Letters of 1715-16, edited by A. Francis Steuart, Advocate, W&R Chambers, Edinburgh, 1910, pp. ix, 32-34) "In Edinburgh Castle, the government stored arms for up to 10,000 men and £100,000 paid to Scotland when she entered the Union with England. Lord Drummond [James Drummond, 3rd Duke of Perth], with 80 Jacobites, tried under the cover of night to take the Castle, using a ladder. However, the ladder proved to be too short," leaving them stranded until morning, at which point they were discovered and arrested. (O’Neill, Emma (23 September 2015).
