| 1854 | Capt. John Glas Stewart of Benmore (of the family of Coll of Appin), described as "brother of Acharn and cousin and brother in law of Stewart of Ardsheal was a Captain in the Appin Regiment and fell at Culloden." John is described in Stewarts of the South as "descended of the family of Ardsheil, the most respectable Branch of Appin Stewarts. He was know by the name of Iain Glac (sic "Glas") mhac Iain mhic Alastair. (John "The Grey", son of John, grandson of Alexander.) [John] gathered his substance by cattle dealing, brewing whisky, and by other pieces of industry. [He] purchased Benmore in Glendochard from Drummond of Perth. [It was] formerly the property of Campbell of Coirchaorach of the same place, also Campbell of Licks [in] Killin parish." Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "John Stewart of Benmore, was commonly known as “Iain glas MhacIain MhicAlastair” and obtained the lands of Invervenacher, Corrycherich and the forest of Benmore, all within the parish of Killin, from James Drummond, Duke of Perth, on 20 February 1744. He served in the Appin regiment during the Jacobite rising of 1745/6, and was killed with many of his kinsmen at the battle of Culloden on 16 April 1746." According to Duncan Stewart 1739, John also purchased Ledcreich. Duncan says: "Duncan of Ardsheal married first a daughter of John Stewart, brother to Innerhaden, and secondly, a daughter to Maclean of Ardgowan. He had six sons and several daughters, viz 1 John, his son and heir, 2 Alexander, killed in the attack made at the church of Dunkeld, soon after King James, in 1689, who had five sons, the eldest John of Aucharn was father to Alexander now of Aucharn, and to John Stewart*, now of Ledcreich, 3 A[illegible, could be Andrew], 4 William, 5 James, and 6 Duncan, killed at Dunkeld, with his brother Alexander. *He purchased these lands from Patrick Stewart, late of Ledcreich, who is now settled in Canada." (sic, Patrick Stewart went to Cape Fear, North Carolina in what was then still a British Colony. Just before departing, Patrick sold Ledcreich and Stronslany to John Glas Stewart.) | Stewart, Capt.

| 1856 | Captain Archibald Stewart resided in a house on the Annat property. He was a second cousin of the contemporary laird of Annat, Alexander Stewart, 4th of Annat. He is frequently recorded in online genealogies incorrectly as "Archibald Stewart of Annat." "1647, January 3rd. Ane bairne baptizet to Johne Stewart, in Over Lanrik. The bairne's name is Archibald. Witnesses, AndrowStewart, James Si." (Kilmadock Parish Register) Archibald's mother's name is not given in the parish register. Archibald was a farmer in Annat. Archibald is listed in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Kilmadock cemetery: 283b 1732. Archibald STEWART, tenant in Annat, died 10 JUL 173[5], age 75, wife Helen LAW, also interred here, son Robert tenant in Annat, died 1776 age 70 (his wife Agnes Galbraith died same year and month aged [61 or 64], daughter Margaret 16 DEC 1822, age 71 (and her husband, Duncan FERGUSON, feuar (at) Doune). (Mitchell notes: see Kilmadock OPR - they also had a son, Archibald, bap 1747). Duncan FERGUSON, 1 JAN 1798, age 66, interred (at) Callander, their son Alexander merchant (in) Lancaster, died there 5 JAN 1815, age 56, Archibald, born JUN 1784, died age 18 months, Duncan born NOV 1786, died 1789, William merchant (in) Lancaster, died there 22 SEP 1819, age 30. (on pedestal) AS HL. Archibald is mentioned repeatedly throughout the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) and is the progenitor of every family tree submitted in evidence. In nearly every instance he is incorrectly referred to as having been the laird of Annat in his time and the debate centres around whether his son John was lawful or natural. However, there is no indication in any other sources that Archibald was laird of Annat, but rather, merely a senior tenant in Annat. As the estate of Annat was in flux during this period, it's possible there's more to this than we currently know. Robert Stewart of Ardvorlich submitted the following testimony to the Glassingall dispute: "Declares that he has often heard it stated both by his father and by other parties members of the Annat family, that the Stewarts of Glassingall were illegitimately descended from the Stewarts of Annat and he believes their descent arose from Archibald Stewart of Annat and the Great grandfather of Alexander Stewart first of Glassingall. Declares that he has also heard it stated and believes it to be true that the descendants of this Archibald were settled as tenants in a farm upon the estate of Annat and that a branch of the family was afterwords removed and settled in Landrick where they co-tenanted until the death of the late Archibald Stewart some months ago." Robert Stewart of Ardvorlich's account seems to be accurate and is in agreement with the account given by Duncan Stewart 1739 as well as OPR data and other sources, and is the version we have presented here. The other Glassingall estate claimants were mistakenly confusing Archibald as being "of Annat" rather than "in Annat." The claim that the Lendrick, Ballacaish and Glassingall families all descend from an illegitimate branch is persistent, and seems more correctly presented in Ardvorlich's account, rather than the others. It appears more likely that it was not Archibald's son, John, who may have been illegitimate, but, rather, his father, John, son of Archibald, younger of Annat. With the repetition of the names John, son of Archibald, in consecutive generations the confusion and conflation is understandable when viewed from several generations later. | Stewart, Capt. Archibald in Annat (I15289)

| 1857 | Captain William Debnam MacLaren Stewart, younger of Advorlich, was born on the 15th April 1893 in Kanpur, Bengal, India. He was educated at Wellington College which was founded in 1853 in memory to the Duke of Wellington. It is one of England's largest and most exclusive public schools. He joined the Black Watch in 1914 at Aldershot, and soon after was posted to the 2nd Battalion in India. On the declaration of war, he left with his battalion for France, reaching the Western Front in October, 1914. He took part in various actions, including Neuve Chapelle and Richbourg I'Avone, where he was wounded. He returned to the front in October, 1915, when he got his company, and transferred to the 1st battalion. He was killed in action aged 23 years at the Battle of the Somme, near Fleurs, on 25th September, 1916. He was mentioned in Sir Douglas Haig's dispatch on 9th April 1916. Captain Stewart was the eldest son of Major William Stewart, 13th of Advorlich, and Lily MacLaren Stewart. Lily MacLaren Stewart's grandmother was Ruth Stewart, of the Stewarts of Drumvaich, of the Annat family. Captain Stewart was also the grandson of Colonel John Stewart, R.A.,C.I.E., 12th of Advorlich, and is remembered in the Dundurn Parish Church roll of honour.

| 1858 | Captain, Headquarters Staff, C.E.F. Enlisted in June, 1915, as a Private in the 58th Battalion, Canadian Infantry, and arrived with his unit in France in February, 1916. He was wounded during the attack at Hill 70, and later served with the Headquarters Staff at Kinmel Park. He was promoted to Lieutenant in March, 1918, and to Captain in December, 1918.

| 1860 | Caroline Amelia Stewart was born 23 Aug 1826 in Little Ealing and baptized on 24 Sep 1826 in Ealing parish, Middlesex, England, daughter of John Stewart, gardiner, and Sarah Stewart. Her mother is presumed to have died in childbirth or shortly after as her siblings have a different mother. Caroline has not been found in the 1841 census. In 1851, at age 24, Caroline A Stewart was residing at Boston House, New Brentford, Middlesex, England where she was employed as a household servant to Lieutenant General John Clitherow of the British Army. (See notes below for more information on General John Clitherow.) According to family records, Caroline moved to Melbourne, Australia where she married a man surnamed Cooper and had two daughters. She is presumed to have emigrated between 1851-1861 as she is not found in the 1861 census. =========================== Major-General John Clitherow (13 December 1782 - 14 October 1852) was an army officer, politician and was briefly Lieutenant Governor of Canada West and Canada East (1841). He was born at Essendon, Hertfordshire, England in 1782. John Clitherow enlisted in the British Army in 1799 and served in the Egyptian campaign of 1801 and in the Peninsular War among other assignments. He arrived in British North America in 1838 as commander of Montreal following the Lower Canada Rebellion. He served as an advisor to Lord Durham as a member of the Special Council that administered Lower Canada following the rebellion. When the second rebellion broke out Clitherow commanded 3,000 regulars that marched on rebel headquarters. He also presided over courts martial that prosecuted the rebels. In 1841, he was transferred to Canada West to command British forces there and was made governor by Lord Sydenham. Upon becoming governor, he was succeeded as commander of the British forces by Richard Armstrong. He prorogued the first session of the first parliament of the Province of Canada when Sydenham died and remained acting Governor for six days until the appointment of Sir Richard Downes Jackson as administrator.

| 1862 | Caroline “Carrie” Matilda Browne (1864-1934) was named for Agnes’ Aunt Caroline Matilda Stewart (1794-1882), who in turn was named for Queen Caroline Matilda of Denmark, sister of King George III of England. Alexander Stewart, the father of Duncan John Stewart and Caroline Matilda Stewart, had been a footman for this Queen of Denmark, who died in 1775. So anyway, Carrie Browne was the family caregiver. She always lived at home, looking after her parents, and never married. https://geneal4real.wordpress.com/2014/11/22/john-browne-and-agnes-stewart-revisited/ | Browne, Carolina Matilda (I24487)

|
| 1869 | Catharine McIntyre is found in the 1814 Moss Census as the wife of Peter McNie. Her age is given as 36 years old making her birth about 1777-78 and her place of origin is Lochearnhead. Her second son is named Peter making it likely that her father's name is also Peter/Patrick. There is only one such Catharine McIntyre found in the Balquhidder or Comrie OPR that matches and she is the daughter of Patrick McIntyre and Catharine King, whose family married frequently with members of the Stewarts of Ardveich (as Catharine's suggested daughter Jane/Jannet also did) and whose grandson Peter McIntyre also came to Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada in the early 1800s. This represents too many coincidences for this not to be a good match. The only other possibility is Catharine McIntyre bap 13 DEC 1774 in Balquhidder, daughter of John McIntyre and Margaret McMartin. A slightly better onomastic fit, but poorer chronological fit. However, that Catharine McIntyre is more likely the one who married in 1798 to Finlay McIntyre. | McIntyre, Katharine (I10097)
|
| 1870 | Catharine Stewart was born 2 May 1834 at Woodline on the Blair-Drummond Moss in Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, as the only surviving daughter of Duncan Stewart in Woodlane and Janet McLachlane. Catharine had a sister born a year later, named Mary, who died before 1841, and likely died at birth. Her mother also died before 1841 and likely died giving birth to Mary, although this is not confirmed. It appears that Catharine was likely half-orphaned before the age of 5. In 1841, at age 5, Catharine Stewart was residing in Thornhill, Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, in the care of her maternal aunt, Margaret Black (nee McLauchlan), and her uncle, William Black. Residing next-door is an 18-year-old Isabella Stewart (presently no known relation, but worth pursuing in the future.) Catharine's father, Duncan Stewart, was residing at Woodlane on the Blair Drummond Moss with his brother, James Stewart. In 1851, at age 15, Catharine Stewart was boarding at Raploch, Stirlingshire, Scotland, in the home of Alexander Simpson (48, tailor) and his family. They are no known relationship. Catharine was identified as a pauper. Catharine's father has not been found in 1851. He and his brother James are believed to have died between 1841-1851. It would appear that Catharine Stewart was fully orphaned between the ages of 5-15. Catharine Stewart has not been found in the 1861 census. On 6 Jul 1868, Catharine Stewart gave birth in Raploch, Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland, to an illegitimate daughter, Isabella Stewart. The father's name is not identified. Catharine Stewart has not been found in 1871. However, her daughter, Isabella Stewart, age 2, identified as a pauper's child, was residing at #57 in Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with the family of Isabella McFarlane (no known relation, shown as head, born 1805 in Kilmadock, occupation: pauper and former domestic servant), Janet McFarlane (born 1815 in Kincardine, former domestic servant, possible daughter of William McFarlane and Janet Luke), James Malcolm (born 1854 in Kincardine, nephew, shoemaker (b 7 Nov 1852 in Kincardine, s/o John Malcolm and Janet McFarlane - only child of this couple), Elisabeth Forrester (b 1844 in Kincardine, niece, domestic servvant, unemployed, daughter of David Forrester and Janet McFarlane - only child of this couple.) John Malcolm, so noted, would later be found in 1881 residing with Catharine Stewart. On 22 Nov 1872, Catharine Stewart gave birth in Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland, to an illegitimate son, Duncan Stewart. The father's name is not identified. In 1881, at age 44, Catharine is found in the town of Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland. Her residence is given as "35 Broad Street, Burgh Police Cells" and her occupation is given as "prostitute". Her children were residing at High Street in Thornhill, Kincardine, Perthshire, Scotland with the family of Ann Ferguson, head, born 1827 in Gargunnock, Stirling, former general servant. Ann Ferguson's relationship to Catharine Stewart is unknown, however Ann raised Catharine's children. According to family tradition, “Catherine Stewart made regular visits to Ann Ferguson at Thornhill to make sure both Isabella and Duncan were being looked after properly and also to make sure Ann was well funded for doing so. Catherine did keep in touch with both her children and their relationship was very close. Catherine lived to see all eight of Isabella’s children born.” In 1891, Catharine is found residing at 24 Lower Castlehill, Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland and her employment is recorded as "outdoor worker", which would appear to be euphamistic. She is residing with 40-year-old James Malcolm, a stone mason's labourer. This same James Malcolm is found in 1871 residing with Catharine's daughter, Isabella (see notes on Isabella for more information). And note the 10-year-old Margaret Malcolm above who lived with Catharine as a young girl. t present no relationship has been shown between the Malcolm family and Catharine. Catharine Stewart has not been found in the 1891 or 1901 census. Catharine's death certificate in 1910 lists her occupation again euphamistically as "outdoor worker". Her age is given as 73 years. Her parents are given as Duncan Stewart, a flesher, (deceased), and Margaret (sic) McLachlan (deceased). The informant is her daughter Isabella Rae. The discrepancy over Catharine's mother's first name is understandable given that Janet McLachlan died very young and would have been almost unknown to her own daughter and certainly completely unknown to her granddaughter. This was likely compounded by the fact that census records imply that Catharine had little contact with her own children. --- * Ken Doig's online tree (DOIGK) shows Catharine Stewart's children incorrectly being the children of Isabella Leckie. Catharine's relationship to her children is confirmed on her death registration listing her daughter, Isabella Rae as the informant. | Stewart, Catharine (I15094)

| 1871 | Catharine Stewart was born 21 Apr 1787 at Mill of Drummond, Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, as the eldest daughter of Walter Stewart and Agnes/Katherine McKay. Catharine Stewart has not been identified in later records. Nothing more is known of her. | Stewart, Catharine (I27714)
|
| 1872 | Catharine Stewart was born 25 July 1785 in Calliveag of Coilantogle, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland as a daughter of John Stewart and Janet Buchanan. On 9 Dec 1814, James Gourley married in Killearn, Stirlingshire, Scotland, to Catharine Stewart. They had six children. In 1841, at age 45 (sic), Catharine Gourlay was residing in Killearn, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with her husband and two of their teenaged children. Catharine Gourlay is not found in the 1851 census and is presumed to have died between 1841-1851. In 1859, Catherine's brother Walter Stewart's will names, "James Gourlay. shoemaker in Killearn, spouse of my late sister, Catherine" as one of the beneficiaries. | Stewart, Catharine (I20946)
|
| 1873 | Catharine Stewart was born 28 Jul 1762 in Dalveich, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland as a daughter of Donald Stewart and Isabel McGregor. (Parents confirmed by death registration.) Catharine Stewart married on 26 Jul 1795 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to John Stewart in Finglen. Three days later, their first son, Peter, was born. They were charged by the Kirk with antenuptial fornication. They had five more children together. In 1841, at age 70, Catherine Stewart was residing at Finglen, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, as a widow in the home of her son John Stewart. In 1851, at age 85, Catherine Stewart was residing at Findhuglen, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, as a widow, in the home of her son John Stewart and his family. 1858 Deaths in the Parish of Balquhidder in the County of Perth. #21 Catherine Stewart, widow of a farmer, died 1858, June 9th, at Auchtowmore, Balquhidder, age 97 years, daughter of Donald Stewart, farmer (deceased), and Isabella Stewart, maiden name McGregor (deceased). Buried in the churchyard at Balquhidder, as certified by Peter Stewart, son of deceased. Informant, Peter Stewart, son, present. --- Given onomastics and her age at the time of her marriage to John Stewart, there's a good chance that Catherine may have been previously married. | Stewart, Catharine (I16606)
|
| 1874 | Catharine Stewart was born 5 Apr 1720 in Milntown of Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as a daughter of Walter Stewart and Isabel McLaren. Catharine Stewart has not been found in later records. Nothing more is known of her. | Stewart, Catharine (I29786)
|
| 1875 | Catharine Stewart was born in 1816 in the clachan of Morell, Easter Glentarken, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. The Comrie OPR records her place of birth as "Moril." She was the nineth child of Robert Stewart and Catharine McNaughtan. Catherine Stewart came to Canada from Perthshire, Scotland in 1833-34, together with her brothers and sisters some of whom were already married. (See notes on mother Catherine and brothers Robert and Peter for a fuller account.) Catherine lived with her mother Catharine, her brother Robert, his wife Mary, their four children, and her brothers Peter and William in a one-room shanty with no door. When her mother Catharine, her brother and sister-in-law, Robert and Mary, all died prematurely within eleven months of each other, Catherine and her brother Peter, now in their twenties, were left to raise the four orphaned children of Robert and Mary. After the children were grown and moved out Peter later married and had nine children of his own. Catherine continued to live with her brother Peter, his wife, and their children. When Peter's wife (also named Catherine) also died prematurely in 1848 then Catherine was left to help raise her brother Peter's children as well. Catherine never married and never had children of her own, but from age 27 onwards she raised the 13 children of her two brothers (born over a period of 40 years between 1838 and 1878). Catherine would have been 61 when the last of her nieces and nephews were born. She would have been 66 when Peter's wife died. Catharine died in 1904 of "infirmity of age." Catherine's Obituary: STEWART, CATHERINE Aberfoyle Another aged resident of Puslinch, Miss Catherine Stewart, has passed way from earth, March 22, 1904. She was born in Perthshire, Scotland and came to Puslinch with the other members of her family in the year 1834, settling on the rear of the 3rd concession. On account of the early decease of Mrs. Peter Stewart, (Jan 16, 1893) [sic. actually 1883] the responsible duties of the home were assumed by her and the young family found in their aunt almost a mother's care. Her's was a life of great usefulness in the home and neighbourhood and beautiful Christian faith. Soon after the death of her brother, Peter Stewart, a little more than two years ago, her health rapidly declined and for nearly two years she has been confined to her room, where she enjoyed the kind attentions of nephews and nieces until her departure on Tuesday, March 22, at the advanced age of 87. The funeral took place on Thursday, March 24, from the old homestead, the residence of Mr. Neil Stewart. She had been connected with Duff's Church ever since its organization and the services were conducted by her pastor, the Rev. W. Robertson. Interment Crown Cemetery.

| 1876 | Catharine Stewart was born in 1857 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, to John Stewart and Mary McFarlane. In 1859, at age 2, Catharine Stewart immigrated with her parents and brother, Alexander, to Tuckersmith, Huron, Ontario, Canada. In 1861, at age 5, Catharine Stewart was residing in Tuckersmith, Huron, Ontario, Canada, with her parents and siblings. Catharine Stewart is not found in the 1871 or 1881 census and is presumed to have died young. | Stewart, Catharine (I14890)
|
| 1877 | Catharine was born in 1859 in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada. In 1861 and 1871, Catharine was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada with her parents. In 1881, Catharine was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with her parents and siblings. She was employed as a dressmaker. In 1891, Catharine was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with her widowed father and some of her younger siblings. She was employed as a dressmaker. In 1900, Catharine moved to Detroit, Michigan USA and married widower John McKillop where she became step mother to his children. It is not known how they met. She remained in Detroit until her death in 1941. | Stewart, Catharine (I14888)
|
| 1878 | Catharine was residing in Hamilton with her parents in 1851, but not in 1861. It is presumed that she either married to an unknown person or died between 1851-1861. | McCallum, Catharine (I9205)
|
| 1879 | Catharine's daughter, Catharine, was born illegitimately and the child's grandfather, Duncan Stewart, was sponsor. Onomastics would suggest that Duncan was Catharine's father. On that basis, there is only one match in the Balquhidder OPR for Catharine's birth, and that is as shown here. | Stewart, Catharine (I15073)
|
| 1880 | Catharine's father's name is speculated to be Charles based on the name of her second son. The forename Charles was only prevelant in the Stewarts of Annat at this time. There is a matching Charles Stewart from the Annat family who would fit as her father. We have insufficient evidence to confirm that relationship. | Stewart, Catherine (I21096)

|
| 1886 | Catherine Colvin's date and place of birth are unknown. Her birth is estimated to be around 1725, but this is just a guess based on the estimated birth years of her children. Colvin is not a name found anywhere in Balquhidder. Perthshire, Scotland. A. I. B Stewart, in 1984, identifies an Alexander Colvin connected to the colonists from Campbelltown who immigrated in 1739 to Cape Fear, North Carolina. It seems likely that Catherine Colvin was connected to the family of Colvin from Campbelltown. "The North Carolina Settlement of 1739", by A. I. B. Stewart, Campbelltown. (The Kintyre Antiquarian and Natural History Society Magazine, Issue Number 15, Spring 1984.) https://stewartsofbalquhidder.com/2023/05/30/the-north-carolina-settlement-of-1739/ "[Alexander McAlister, who was among the 1739 Campbelltown emigrants] has many descendants in the United States who have distinguished themselves in public life. His first wife was Flora, Ardelay's daughter, and his second Jean Colvin daughter of Alexander Colvin, certainly of Campbeltown. His sister Isabella married Ferquhard Campbell who was a very prominent citizen before during and after the Revolution and who like his brother-in-law Alexander McAllister was one of the first elders of Bluff Church. They also have numerous descendants." Catherine married sometime after 1739 to William Stewart, younger of Ledcreich, who was a part of the 1739 expedition to Cape Fear, Bladen County, North Carolina, USA. In 1763, William's older brother, Patrick, dictated a detailed family tree to his son Charles, later added to by subsequent generations, in which it is stated that William and Catherine married in North Carolina after immigration: "William Stewart, the younger brother of Patrick Stewart, came from Scotland with him a young, single man, and lived with Patrick until he married a Miss Calvin (sic, Colvin), by whom he had two children, Patrick and Margaret." Catherine Colvin is buried in Stewart Cemetery in Bladen County. Her age and date of death are unknown. William married secondly about 1759. It was common in that era to remarry quickly after a wife's death, as the widower would require help to raise the children of his first marriage. Thus, it is suggested that Catherine likely died around 1755-1758. | Colvin, Catherine (I2915)

| 1887 | Catherine Ferguson's birth and baptism took place in 1812 but are listed at the beginning of the 1813 baptisms in the Balquhidder parish registered which has led to confusion as to which year she was born in. Catherine Ferguson was not residing with her parents in 1841 or 1851 and has not been found elsewhere or in later records. | Ferguson, Catherine (I28971)

| 1888 | Catherine is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Mrs MacLaggan a real Phoenix." This represents one of the very few references to a woman in the entirety of Stewarts of the South. She must have been quite a character for the author to have deemed her to be worth mentioning in what is otherwise a strictly patriarchal accounting! | Stewart, Catherine (I15177)

| 1898 | 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 (I10837)

| 1899 | Catherine Stewart is believed, but not confirmed, to be a daughter of Walter Dubh Mhor Stewart in Glen Finglas, eldest son of Alexander Stewart, 5th of Gartnafuaran. Walter was killed at the Battle of Kylsith in 1645 along with his two sons. Catharine Stewart is believed to have come to Loch Lomondside with the family of her uncle Robert Stewart in Culgartmore after the death of her father. Catherine Stewart married on 27 Dec 1658 in Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland to Ludovick Stewart. His origin is unknown. They had three children at Inveruglas on the west side of Loch Lomond in Arroquhar parish in Dunbartonshire, Scotland. No futher children have been found for this couple. (Arroquhar parish records do not commence until the 1760s.) Catherine Stewart is believed to have died between 1665-1681 prior to Ludovick's second marriage. | Stewart, Catherine (I30823)
