|
| 1955 | Charles birth is a bit of a mystery. He is recorded in the Balquhidder OPR as being born at Tighnacoil, which is the primary residence of the Stewarts in Cuill. His parents are recorded as being "James and Catharine Stewart", which matches chronologically perfectly with James Stewart, 2nd in Cuill, known as "Seamas na Coille" and his wife Catharine Stewart who were married in 1749 and had their first confirmed child in 1750. However, it would violate onomastics that they would name their first son, Charles. Thus it is inconceivable that Charles could be their son. However, there was another James Stewart also living at Tighnacoil -- named James Stewart, 1st in Cuill. It is therefore suggested, but not verified, that Charles was a much younger brother of Seamas na Coille rather than his son. | Stewart, Charles (I15043)

| 1956 | Charles Calvert Steuart, MD, married Ann Fitzhugh Biscoe, daughter of General George Washington Biscoe. According to Calvert family records, Charles' will was proved 13 Dec 1836 at Annapolis, Maryland, USA.) | Steuart, Dr. Charles Calvert MD (I21541)
|
| 1957 | Charles Cordiner Stewart was born in 1861 while his parents were estranged -- his father having abandoned them. His parents reconciled before he was 3 years old. His name is unusual. Cordiner is not known to be a family name (unless it comes from further back on his mother's side than this research project has probed), but Charles Cordiner was the name of a local Methodist minister in Aberdeen at the time. It's not known if there was any connection. In 1871, at age 9, Charles C Stewart was residing at 59 Virginia Street, St. Nicholas, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings. He was a student. In 1881, (age illegible), Charles C Stewart was residing at 4 Frederick Street, St. Nicholas, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings. He was employed as a ship's steward. Later that year, in 22 Aug 1881, at age 23, in St. Nicholas burgh, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, Charles C. Stewart, a ship steward, son of Alexander Stewart, insurance agent, and Ann Yeats, residing at George Street, Aberdeen, married to Agnes Fraser, age 21, daughter of Charles Fraser and Agnes Walker. Witnessed by James Yeats Stewart, brother. Charles and Agnes moved to London, England, where their first three children were born between 1886-1890. In 1891, Charles' wife, Agnes Stewart, was residing at 83 Wales Street, St. Nicholas, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with their young children. She was described as a ship's steward's wife. Charles was not with them and is presumed to have been at sea. On 27 Nov 1898, at age 37, Charles Cordiner Stewart, ship's steward, husband of Agnes Fraser, son of Alexander Stewart, insurance agent (deceased) and Ann Yeats (living), died from "general paralysis of the insane" in the Royal Lunatic Asylum, George Street, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Informant: Agnes Stewart, widow, not present at time of death. In 1901, Charles' widow, Agnes Stewart, was residing at 24 Blackfriars St., St. Nicholas, Aberdeen West, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with her young children. Also residing with them was 18-year-old Florence Stewart(born 1883 in Drumblade, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, working as a domestic servant. She is presumed to be a relative, but has not been identified.) | Stewart, Charles Cordiner (I26862)
|
| 1958 | Charles Cordiner Stewart was orphaned at 6 years old. His father died from a tragic fall at work. | Stewart, Charles Cordiner (I27113)
|
| 1959 | Charles died at the age of 25, believed to be without marriage or children. | Stewart, Charles (I15040)

|
| 1962 | Charles E. Stewart is mentioned in the wills of his father and mother. He is also mentioned in the will of his grandfather, Charles Stewart, as his designated heir. After the death of his father, Charles was placed in the custody of his maternal grandfather, John Netterville. | Stewart, Pvt. Charles E. (Planter) (I24293)
|
| 1963 | Charles Edward Stewart was born in 1886 in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada. In 1901, Charles was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with his parents and siblings. He was employed as a Canadian Pacific telegraph operator. Later that year, Charles' parents moved to Teeswater, Bruce, Ontario, Canada. It is presumed that Charles moved with them as he would only have been 15 years old at the time. In 1906 Charles mother died prematurely leaving his widowed father with a family of young children to raise. Charles would have been 20 years old at the time. Two years later, in 1908, Charles was in Rainy River, Ontario, Canada (in far western Ontario, about 40 km from the Manitoba border), where he married Edna Winkler. She was born in Bentinck, Bruce, Ontario, Canada (about 30 km east of Teeswater and south of Owen Sound), where her father was a hotel keeper and later a postmaster, but her family was residing Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada by 1906. This would suggest that Charles and Edna met in Bruce County and that he likely followed her family to Winnipeg. The fact that he married so soon after, and so far away from, his mother's death is noteworthy. In 1911, Charles and Edna were residing in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada where he was employed as a telegraph operator for a telephone exchange. He was working 60 hours per week and earning $0.35 per hour. His earnings the previous year were $1260 for the year(approximately $32,000 in 2022 value), putting them just barely above the poverty line. They were living with her mother at the time. In 1916, Charles was residing in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada with his wife, Edna. He was employed as a telegraph operator in a telegraph office. On 31 Aug 1916, Charles arrived in Plymouth, England, for his military service in WWI. His younger brother Edward served at the same time. It's not known if they served together. After Charles returned from the war there is no record of him until the time of his wife's untimely death. There is no record that they ever had children. Charles and Edna have not been found in 1921. In 1930, he would have received word that his baby brother Frank died from accidental asphyxiation. Sometime around 1933 Charles ceased working. The reason for ceasing employment is unknown. He may have lost his job or resigned. In 1936, Charles' wife, Edna, died in Winnipeg at the age of 51. The cause of her death is not recorded. His youngest sister Jennie died the same year. Her cause of death is unknown. In 1937, Charles' younger brother Edward died under tragic circumstances which may have been suicide. Sometime between 1937-1941, Charles father, Edward, died in Hamilton. It's not known if Charles was back in Hamilton and living with his father at the time or whether he was still in Winnipeg. He lost his mother when he was just 20. Shortly thereafter he was off to war with his younger brother. Who knows what trauma they experience? His employment paid poorly. Then in his mid-40s, within a space of about five years, starting in 1933, he lost his job, his wife died, his baby sister died, his younger brother died (possibly from suicide), and his father died. By 1941, Charles had returned to Hamilton and was residing at 220 Hunter Street East in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with his sister, Alma Stewart. On 10 Feb 1941, Charles died by suicide after leaping from the roof of Christie Street Hospital in Toronto. The report describes him as "mentally deranged" at the time. He was 54 years of age and widowed. His former occupation was recorded as telegraph operator, which he had been employed at for 30 years, but had not worked at in the past 8 years. Whether this account is exact or approximate, it would make his date of last employment around or just prior to untimely death of his wife. | Stewart, Charles Edward (I15011)

|
| 1967 | Charles is described in Stewarts of the South as being one of the four sons of Charles Stewart: "two grown up to men, the one with himself and the other in the way of service, two remaining under age."

|
| 1971 | Charles is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Charles, the present tacksman of Crochavie, a person who might well pass in the Golden Age! (reference uncertain) If all men were of his disposition there would be no occasion for many of abilities either in the cabinet or in the field - the lamb might eat with the wolf [and so on]. I intend to spend the remainder of my life with him so being that he marries a woman of a similar disposition to himself." Appendix: "7. Mr Charles Stewart, tacksman of Crochaoy (Crachavie) [in the] Parish of Aberfoyle, of [the] Gartnafuaran family. I cannot express his character, a sincere, friendly, and respectable character without dissimulation or ostentation (a perfect Nathaniel). He and his brother were the only intimate acquaintance[s] I had, and that I placed the most confidence in, and made it often in the country my house, and there would be very little occasion for great abilities if all men were like him. [He is living] in the Duke of Montrose’s property, and [in the] Lordship of Monteith. £130" A later reference in Stewarts of the South (ca. 1815) indicates that Charles became guardian of his younger half-brothers, Robert and John, after their father died. | Stewart, Charles in Crachavie (I15050)
|
| 1972 | Charles is described somewhat unflatteringly in Stewarts of the South as: "Charles, his brother is little better, and they now possess nothing of their former property - neither land nor money." | Stewart, Charles Dugald (I15007)

|
| 1976 | 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.

Caledonia, Jan 29 -- This morning at 5 o'clock at his home on Wall street, three miles south of this village, occurred the death of Charles Stewart, one of the leading farmers of the town. Mr. Stewart had been in poor health for several years, but was able to be around and look after his business and frequently came to the village, but the past few months he had been especially feeble. Mr. Stewart was born in Caledonia and had he lived until April he would have been 71 years old. At the age of 22 years he went to Scotland to live with an uncle, with whom he remained for twenty-six years. At the death of his uncle, who was a wealthy man, he returned to this town, purchasing two fine farms. About eighteen years ago he was married to Kate Blair of Mumford, who survives him. Their home has always been noted for its hospitality and it was seldom they have been without guests. Mr. Stewart was a high-minded, upright man possessing the best qualities of his Scottish ancestry. He will be greatly missed in the neighborhood where he lived and in the community at large. He is survived by three brothers, Alexander, of this village, George and Albert of Mumford, and two sisters, Mrs. Richard Roberts, of Fairport, and Mrs. Malcolm Campbell of this town. (Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, Wednesday, January 30, 1907, page 3.) | Stewart, Charles (I15048)

| 1982 | 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."

|
| 1986 | Charles Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1740 to unknown parents. The location of his birth is unknown but could be in Aberfoyle, Port of Menteith, Drymen or Kippen parishes. Charles Stewart is believed, but not confirmed to have been born 25 May 1733 in Spittal of Blarnavad, Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland as a son of John Stewart and Mary McFarlane, shown above. "1733 John Stewart and Mary McFarland in Spittal had a child baptized called Charles." (Drymen Parish Register) According to Stewarts of the South, Charles Stewart was the progenitor of the short-lived 7-Line of the Stewarts in Coille Mhor. On 11 Apr 1777, Charles Stewart married in Buchlyvie, Kippen, Stirlingshire, Scotland to Janet McLaws (McLause). They had five children that we know of. In 1783, the family was struck by tragedy when smallpox claimed the lives of all their children except Charles Jr. In 1793, Charles Stewart, residing in Buchlyvie, Kippen, Stirlingshire, Scotland was referenced as a Tanner, Saddler, Innkeeper, and Merchant, in the Will of John McLaw. Charles Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South (c. 1815) as: "Charles Stewart, late saddler in Buchlyvie, a respectable man and at one time [was] in good circumstances, who left two sons – Chas, a clerk [who works] in a Tan[nery] work in Edinr (Edinburgh), and John, who carries on the business with Mrs S[tewart], his mother, and keeps a public house. Both [of them are] unmarried." And in the Appendix of Stewarts of the South for Stirlingshire: "6. Mr Charles Stewart, [in] Buchlyvie [in] Kippen Parish, of [the] Gartnafuaran family, a respectable character. They were vintners and saddlers [on] Grahame of Gartmore Estate, £40." Charles Stewart died prior to the writing of Stewarts of the South in 1815. His exact year of death is unknown, but the author makes it sound like his death was recent. No record of his death or burial has been found. It appears that none of Charles children married or had children of their own. This line became extinct with the death of Charles' son, Charles, between 1861-1871. --- Possible birth families for Charles: Andrew Stewart and Janet Carrick 1.

| 1988 | Charles Stewart of Ardsheal commanded the Appin Stewart Regiment at Culloden. He was half-brother to James of the Glen. He was charged with treason and forfeited. His house was raided and ransacked. His pregnant wife and children were tossed out by Colin Campbell of Glenure, who was appointed Factor of Ardsheal and was later murdered as he entered Ardsheal property. "Charles Stewart V of Ardsheal Charles Stewart V of Ardsheal was reputedly a man of great personal strength and supposed to be one of the best swordsmen in the Highlands. In a fight with Rob Roy, he wounded him and Roy was then supposed to have thrown his sword into Lochvoil and declared that Ardsheal was the first man who had bloodied him. Very few records remain of Ardsheal´s life from before 1739 as many of the family papers were destroyed when the house at Ardsheal was sacked and burned after Culloden. However he was a Jacobite and kept up a correspondence with the Stuart Court in exile In 1739 he was issued with a commission from James VIII which was basically a warrant to raise and command the clan in war so despite Dougal Stewart, the 10th of Appin being the chief however it was Charles not Dougal who led the clan out. In some accounts. it is claimed this because he is a child however since he had come of age by the 1730s this seems unlikely. Ardsheal married Isabel Haldane in 1732 daughter of John Haldane, 2nd of Lanrick (1677-1764) and Margaret Murray. Ardsheal was attainted for high treason on the 8th June 1746. He was specifically excepted from the Act of Indemnity in 1747. Before escaping to France he spent a few weeks concealed in a cave on his estate, still called Ardsheal´s cave, on the hill of Ardsheal, being brought food by some of his tenants. It is likely that he had managed to escape by September 1746 leaving his wife and children. There are some accounts that state that he remained there in the cave until his wife gave birth and fled at this point realising that there would be no amnesty that would cover him. However in December the house was sacked and burned and his wife was forced to flee whilst heavily pregnant with her other 5 children. Anne Stewart was born on the 17th of December 1746. On the 20th December Lady Ardsheal took her children to stay with relatives in Stirling. Lady Ardsheal eventually joined him in exile In France. The Crown annexed his estate and Colin Campbell of Glenure was appointed to factor it. Glenure began a policy of getting of rid of pro-Jacobite tenants these included James Stewart (James of the Glen) Ardsheal's half brother. The eviction of the small tenants was set for 15 May 1752. The day before, Glenure was shot dead as he came onto the Ardsheal estate, This, of course, was the Appin murder. James of the Glen was found guilty of the murder and was hanged on the knoll at Ballachulish despite Alan Breck Stewart being the prime suspect. Charles Stewart V of Ardsheal died in Sens, France in 1757." (Stewart Society) | Stewart, Col. Charles 5th of Ardsheal (I15004)

| 1989 | 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 (I20347)

| 1990 | Charles Stewart was born 12 Jan 1746 in Drymen parish, Stirlingshire, Scotland, as the last recorded child of William Stewart and Mary Yuil. (Charles Stewart's baptismal entry has not be extracted for additional details.) Charles Stewart has not been identified in later records. Nothing more is known of him. | Stewart, Charles (I31065)
|
| 1991 | Charles Stewart was born 13 Sep 1781 in Buchlyvie, Kippen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, as a son of Charles Stewart and Janet McLaws. Charles Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South, c. 1815, as: "Chas, a clerk [who works] in a Tan[nery] work in Edinr (Edinburgh)." In 1829, Charles is listed in his mother's Deed of Settlement as being a former courier in Buchlyvie and now a clerk in London. Charles Stewart has not been found in the 1841 census. He may have been in London or Edinburgh. In 1851, at age 69, Charles Stewart was residing at Hamilton Crescent in the Govan, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, in the home of his cousins, John and Marjory Risk (daughter of James McLaws). He was identified as a retired clerk. In 1861, at age 79, Charles Stewart was residing at Glasgow Street, Row, Dunbartonshire, Scotland, in the home of his widowed cousin, Marjory Risk (nee McLaws). He was identified as retired merchant. "1867 Deaths in the Parish of Row in the County of Dumbarton.

|
| 1993 | Charles Stewart was born 23 Feb 1746 at Cullintogle, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, and baptized on 2 Mary 1746 in Callander, as the illegitimate son of Alexander Stewart in Cullintogle and Mary McFarlane at Woodend of Leny. Alexander's father, James Stewart, is recorded as the sponsor. Charles is presumed to have died in infancy prior to the birth of his same-named half-brother in 1748. | Stewart, Charles (I20905)
|
| 1994 | Charles Stewart was born 3 Mar 1748 in Edraleachdach, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as the son of Alexander Stewart and Beatrice Stewart. (The date of Charles' birth/baptism is unclear. The baptism is listed with 1748 baptisms but is indexed as having taken place in 1740. ScotlandsPeople says the birth took place on 3 Mar 1740, but says "date assumed." The original parish register images need to be consulted for confirmation. As this couple were married in 1746 and the birth is not recorded as illegitimate, then it seems 1748 is more likely the correct date.) It appears that Charles was likely named after his paternal uncle. Charles Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South (c. 1815) as: "Charles Stewart, innkeeper in Callander - no sons." The Callander parish register shows no daughters for him either. As Charles Stewart had no children, there is no further record of him in the Callander parish register. He did not live long enough to be recorded in any census records. No other record of him has been found. | Stewart, Charles Innkeeper in Callander (I15045)

| 2000 | 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 (I14038)
