1903 Catherine Stewart was born 13 Jun 1772 in Lianach of Glenbuckie, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, as a daughter of Patrick Stewart in Lianach and his second wife, Katherine Ferguson.

Stewart, Catherine (I15086)
 
1904 Catherine Stewart was born 22 Nov 1646 in Buchanan parish, Stirlingshire, Scotland, as a daughter of John Stewart and Janet McFarlane. Her exact place of birth is difficult to read. "1646 - On 22'd Nob'r - Jo’n Stiubhairt in Ran’y Tamerg? and Jonet McFarland _____ daughter called Catharine. Witnesses: Alex’r McGregor and Alex’r McFarland." (Buchanan Parish Register) Stewart, Catherine (I30812)
 
1905 Catherine Stewart was born 24 Apr 1793 in Comer, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland as a younger daughter of Donald Stewart and Margaret Stewart. She was baptised in Aberfoyle parish in Perthshire, Scotland as the Aberfoyle Kirk was likely more accessible from Comer than the Buchanan Kirk was.
 
Stewart, Jean (I32422)
 
1906 Catherine Stewart was born 26 May 1776 in Monzievaird and Strowan parish, Perthshire, Scotland, as a daughter of John Stewart and Elizabeth Riddoch. Her baptismal record has not been extracted to identify her exact birth location. Her father was latterly a blacksmith at Muirend near Comrie village near the boundary with Monzievaird parish.

Catherine's paternal family were hereditary blacksmiths and farriers at Lawers near Comrie. Her uncle, James Stewart, had two children at Lochearnhead in the 1750s before returning to the east end of Loch Earn.

She is suspected, but not confirmed, to be the Catherine Stewart who married clandestinely in 1791 in Balquhidder to Donald Cameron. However, she would have been only 15-years-old at the time, which could be the reason for the clandestine marriage. However, Cameron family records (unconfirmed source) indicate that Catherine was the daughter of Donald Stewart in Dalveich (6-Line) and the mother of John Cameron who married Helen Ferguson of Kipp, Balquhidder, and had nine children born at Glenbeich near Dalveich. However that John Cameron was not a son of Donald Cameron and Catherine Stewart. His parents were Hugh Cameron and Margaret Stewart. So the anonymous Cameron family record is not correct.

"1791, Decr 18th, This day Donald Cameron smith in Lochearnhead and Cathrine Stewart there paid their fine of clandestine marriage. 13 sh." (Balquhidder Parish Register)

They had twins shortly afterwards:

"1793, Febry 27, Donald Cameron and Kathrine Stewart in Lochearnhead had twins baptd named Robert and John." (Balquhidder Parish Register)

They had two more known children: James in 1795 in Stirling and Ann in 1807 in Lawers.

On her death registration, Ann Cameron's parents are listed as Donald Cameron, a smith at Lawers, and Catherine Stewart.

1919 Catherine was 18 years old when her father died. She married an unknown man named Devaughn. They have not been identified in public records. It is not known if they had children or where they lived. She may have been confused with her sister Helen who married Thomas Devane. Or their husbands could be from the same family.

In 1763, Catherine's uncle, Patrick Stewart, dictated a detailed family tree, which was subsequently added to by Dr. James Carraway in 1789, in which Catherine is described as "Catharine married Devaughn" Nothing more is known of them. 
Stewart, Catherine (I15057)
 
1920 Catherine was born in North Carolina, USA, shortly after her parent's arrival from Scotland. Her birth is estimated to have been about 1739 based on her age at time of death.

In 1769, her father, Patrick, dictated a detailed family tree which was subsequently added to by Dr. James Caraway in 1789, and by Dr. Morgan Brown at an unknown date, in which the following is recorded about Catherine:

"Catherine, the second child* of Patrick Stewart, was born in Scotland and came to America with her parents very young. She was married to William Little, then of South Carolina, December the 25th, 1764, and by whom she had one daughter, Elizabeth, born November the 24th, 1765, and married to Morgan Brown, the writer of these sketches, January 22d, 1784. William Little died in the latter part of the year 1766, and Catherine after living a widow several years married John Speed in July, 1774, by whom she had two children, a son called James and a daughter named Sarah, who was married to William Pigues, the son of Claudius, who was the son of Claudius Pigues of South Carolina, near the Cheraws, where they now live, and have several children, but their names and ages not now known. James married Hinson, and has several children, now living near the mouth of Red River, Montgomery County, Tenn., where he died."

*The reference to Catherine being the second child is not correct. It can't even been generously interpretted as second child of her father's marriage to Elizabeth Menzies, or second surviving child. She had at least three, and possibly four, older siblings, two of whom survived to adulthood, all by the same mother. Dr. Brown's error about his own mother-in-law would indicate that he added his supplements to the family history after her death in 1789 and possibly after his own wife's death in 1829.

Stewart Clan Magazine says, "Catherine Stewart, born about 1742, married (1) Dec. 25, 1764, William Little, Jr., of Edenton, N.C. Sometime after their marriage Catherine and her husband moved from Bladen County to Cheraws District, South Carolina, in company with her parents. Mr. Little died in the latter part of 1766. When Catherine's father made his will in 1772 he appointed her and Alexander Gordon executors. She married (2) July --, 1774, John Speed. These data are from a sketch written by Morgan Brown, who was born in 1758 and married in 1784, as his second wife, Elizabeth Little, daughter of William and Catherine. From this Elizabeth (Little) Brown, through her three daughters -- Elizabeth, Sarah and Catherine Stewart Brown -- are descended several families of prominence in the South. The time and place of Catherine's death were not noted. Children:
Elizabeth Little, Nov. 24, 1765 : m. 1784, Morgan Brown
------
James Speed
Sarah Speed : m. William Pigues : had children

Stewart, Catherine (I15064)
 
1921 Catherine was deceased prior to the writing of her father's will in 1851. McLaren, Catherine (I24750)
 
1922 Catherine was likely baptised on 27 APR 1818 in Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland as the daughter of John MacFarlane and Catherine Sinclair, however this birth is not confirmed. McFarlane, Catherine (I5740)
 
1923 Catherine was the last McKinlay to reside at the Annie in Strathyre. McKinlay, Catherine (I9992)
 
1924 Catherine was with her parents in 1841 but not afterwards. She is presumed to have died between 1841-1851. Stewart, Catherine (I32084)
 
1925 Catherine's baptismal record in the OPR reads: "______ Stewart, bap 9 MAY 1819 in Ledcrich." Catherine's known birth matches with this unnamed child.

John and Catherine were residing with their children in 1851 at 7 Bridge End, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, and 1861 in Kilmahog, Perthshire, Scotland. In 1871 they were residing back in Callander.

MCNAUGHTON, CATHERINE ANNIE (Nee Stewart)

At Brookdale, MN, on August 22, 1936. Catherine Stewart, wife of the late David McNaughton. Funeral on Wednesday, August 26, 1936 at 2, from the home of her sister, Mrs. Margaret I Stewart, of Morriston. Interment Crown Cemetery. An unusual and sad coincidence occurred when two sisters, Mrs. Annie McNaughton and Elizabeth Stewart passed away within a week of each other. Elizabeth Stewart had been caring for her aged aunt Margaret Maclean of Los Angeles, California. Margaret passed away, and her niece took the remains to Carberry Man for burial. About two weeks later, Mrs McNaughton became ill. and was nursed by her sister Elizabeth till Mrs. McNaughton died a few days after, then took her body back to Guelph where Elizabeth was taken to hospital from the train and died two days later, August 28, 1936. Both funerals were from the home of their sister, Mrs. Margaret Stewart of Morriston Elizabeth was a graduate of the Guelph General Hospital and her life was one of continual service in the profession of nursing in Manitoba and United States. She is survived by four brothers, Robert of Marigold BC; Duncan of Calgary. AB Harris of Portage la Prairie, MB and Neil, of Morriston; and one sister Mrs. Margaret Stewart of Morriston. Mrs. NcNaughton is survived by one son, James of Los Angeles and three daughters, Mrs. O W Reinmuth of Lincoln, Nebraska, Minnie of Montreal; and Mrs. Ramsay of Brookdale, Manitoba. Also four brothers and one sister. Elizabeth and Annie NcNaughton were daughters of Peter Stewart, one of the oldest and most highly respected pioneers of Puslinch Township. They were both lifelong church workers and liberal supporters, Margaret Maclean who passed away in Los Angeles, was also a former resident and pioneer of Puslinch, and a pioneer of Manitoba, where she went with her mother and brothers when Manitoba was unsettled. Late she made her home in LA until her death. She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Mary Clark of Wellwood, Manitoba. 
Stewart, Catherine Annie (I15155)
 
1928 Catherine's place of birth is uncertain. It is presumed to be St. Anicette as that is where her mother died in 1862, however her baptism is not recorded in the Chateauguay transcriptions and the 1881 census indicates that she was born in Ontario.

01-22-1864 Catherine Lucy Stewart, youngest daughter of James D. Stewart, Esq. St Anicet died at the age of 06 years, and 02 months (The Gleaner newspaper, Huntingdon, Quebec, 1864)

Catherine Stewart is buried in Zion United Church Cemetery, St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. 
Stewart, Catherine Lucy (I15184)
 
1929 Catherine's surname is found with all the following variants: McArthur, McKercher, McKerracher, McArchir, McKaricher. McArthur, Catherine (I9274)
 
1930 Caution - There is another contemporary John Stewart in Wester Brig o' Turk who belongs to Glenbuckie Branch III.3. There is a risk of duplication here.

John Stewart is presumed to have been born about 1725 in Brig o' Turk, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as a younger son of Walter Stewart and Agnes Stewart, although no record of his birth has been found. His siblings were all baptized in Aberfoyle parish and the Aberfoyle parish register is in poor, damaged condition for the years around John's likely birth.

John Stewart was a tacksman at Brig o' Turk and one of the eight portioners of Glenfinglas who was involved in "The Glen Affair" in 1755, but was deceased by the time of the Appeal in 1772 and was represented by his "only son and heir" Walter.

No record has been found of John Stewart's birth. His age at death is not recorded. His birth shown here is merely an estimate.

Stewarts of the South says the following of John's family:
"But the nearest of them in this country is one Walter Stewart, an unworthy person, [who] was son to John Stewart, [and] was [a] tacksman [of] Wester Bridge of Turk, [belonging to the] Earl [of] Murray [in] Callander parish. His grandfather, Walter Stewart, [was] son to Duncan Stewart, 12th (8th) of Glenbuckie [and Duncan’s wife, who was] a daughter to Graham of Dochry (Jean Graham of Duchray). He was, some years ago, turned out of that farm for some misconduct or other. His mother was of Balchallan. It was for the small crime of cutting an oak tree [that] he was turned out and he denied the charge, but it was proven and no argument would prevail with the Earl of Murray to let him stay because of not letting the truth. But other people were undermining him. He had one eighth of Glenfinglas. He is now a poor cottager - a real contrast of his progenitors, which shows the uncertainty of human affairs. He has four sons."

Stewarts of the South is incorrect that John married "a woman of Balachallan." It was actually his father, Walter, who married a Stewart of Ballachallan.

The Callander OPR records that John Stewart, Tacksman of Wester Bridge of Turk, and Effie McCallum, an unmarried woman, had a daughter born and baptized on 18? May 1752, named Catharine.

Alison Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions reads: "Laedere Noli. Lieut. Walter Stewart, wife Agnes Stewart 8.1.1756, age 80, by son John, 1760."

On 5 Mar 1761, John Stewart at Bridge of Turk in Callander parish married Mrs. Isabel Graham, widow of Harry/Henry Graham of Balleich. She had three daughters by her first marriage. ("5 Mar 1761, Mr. John Stewart at Bridge of Turk in Callander parish and Mrs. Isabel Graham in Reiland, to the deceast(?) Hary Graham, Tacksman in Balleich." Aberfoyle OPR)

According to John's testament (see below), he died on or before 13 Aug 1767. As his wife is not mentioned in his testament, it is presumed that she predeceased him sometime after their last son, Walter, was born on 1 Apr 1765. Their children were still minors at the time and were not eligible to inherit until 13 July 1780. The cautioners listed in the testament were Alexander Stewart at Bohelechan and formerly at Bridge of Turk and William Graham at Kirktown of Aberfoil. Alexander Stewart has not been identified in other records, but is likely a brother or close cousin. William Graham is likely John's brother-in-law.

Commentary

The following persons are named above:

David Stewart late Tacksman of Glenfinglass - He was Dr. David Stewart in Auchnahard, younger son of the late Capt. Alexander Stewart, 10th of Glenbuckie, cousin-german to the deceased John Stewart, 2nd in Brig o' Turk. Dr. David Stewart was the rightful heir to the estate of Glenbuckie. At the time of John Stewart's death in 1767, Dr. David Stewart was involved in a contentious lawsuit vigorously attempting to reclaim the estate of Glenbuckie. He would have been chieftain of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie at the time.

Daniel Stewart Exer - Donald (Daniel) Stewart, Executor to the deceased John Stewart in Brig o' Turk has not been identified.

Alexander Stewart late at Bridge of Turk now at Bohelechan is believed to be the brother of the deceased John Stewart at Brig o' Turk.

William Graham at Kirktown of Aberfoil - presumed to be a relative a distant relative of the deceased John Stewart's late wife, Isabel Graham. He could not be her brother or he would have succeeded to the estate of Balleich. 
Stewart, John 2nd in Brig o' Turk and Balleich (I24616)
 
1931 Cecil John Angus was born in 1902 in Halton, Lancashire, England.

On 27 Apr 1912, at age 9, Cecil John Angus, along with his birth family, immigrated from Lancashire, England to Quebec, Canada, bound for Michigan, USA. They were travelling with his father's brother, Arthur Angus, and his family. The family originally had tickets to sale on the Titanic on April 10, 1912, but (for reasons unknown) ended up sailing on the next ship, The Megantic. The Titanic sank on 14 Apr 1912, four days into its journey.

Between 1921-1938, Cecil John Angus seems to have travelled frequently between Michigan, USA and southwestern, Ontario, Canada.

Cecil John Angus worked as a journeyman millwright in an auto factory in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan.

In 1938, at ag 36, Cecil John Angus married in Listowel, Perth, Ontario, Canada to 36-year-old Mary Alberta Alexandria Cowan. Despite their ages, neither had been previously married. They had one known child, William R Angus, born in 1941.

1944 Census records consistently indicate that Jeanette was born in 1783 in Scotland, although her parents were both American born. As her father, Capt. Jock Stewart, was a British Loyalist, it seems likely that they fled back to Scotland after the American Revolution and did not return to American until years later when it was safe to do so.

According to family records Jeannette married on 25 DEC 1808 at the residence of Lovick Ventress in Tennessee, USA, to James Ventress, b 1778 in Virginia, USA, d 8 FEB 1867, younger brother of Lovick Ventress (husband of Janett's sister, Elizabeth Stewart).

Family records indicate that Jeanette was the daughter of Capt. Jock Stewart by his first wife (un-named) who died when Jeanette was an infant. Jeanette was then raised by Lovick Ventress and his wife Elizabeth Stewart (Jeanette's aunt). Jeanette grew up and married Lovick's younger brother, James Ventress.

In 1850 James and Jeanette were residing in District 13, Robertson County, Tennessee, USA.

In 1860 James and Jeanette were residing in Western Division, Robertson County, Tennessee, USA

1945 Census records give conflicting accounts of James' birth. Given the commonality of his name, the following account warrants review.

In 1834, when James was 29-years-old, his parents and younger siblings packed up and moved to Canada. James already had a family established at this point and chose to stay behind.

In 1841, James was residing on Warroch Street in St. Mark's parish, Barony, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland with his wife Margaret and sons Hugh and James. James Sr. was employed as a journeyman iron moulder.

In 1851, James was residing in Deanston, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, employed as an iron moulder in a cotton mill, born 1804 in Denny, Stirling, Scotland. Residing with his wife, M. Gillespie, b 1803 in Kincardine, Perthshire, Scotland, and their children J. (James) Gillespie, b 1837, and J. (John) Gillespie, b 1846.

In 1861, James was residing in #2 First Division (Deanston Works), Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, employed as an iron moulder, with his wife Margaret and son John.

James has not been found in 1871.

1946 Census records give her place of birth as Arrochar, Argyllshire, but FTM corrects that to Dumbartonshire. It's not confirmed that they are the same location. McFarlane, Margaret (I27531)
 
1947 Census records give Peter Ferguson's birth as c. 1803 in "Stroudan", Balquhidder.

Married 9 Apr 1823 in Kilmadock and 10 Apr 1823 in Callander.
