| 203 | (Mother given as Margaret McGrigor.) Peter is described in Stewarts of the South as being a wright and lint miller at Lochearnhead. He was recorded as "a wright in Lochearnhead" in the Balquhidder OPR entry for his second son's baptism. Peter is also cited in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Balquhidder Cemetery, as follows: "2 Peter STEWART, wright, 30 AUG 1832, wife Janet Fisher 25 JUN 1836 by (their) children." | Stewart, Patrick in Lochearnhead (I17462)

| 204 | (mother given as Margaret Murray). John is presumed to have died young prior to the birth of his same-named brother in 1779. | Stewart, John (I16207)
|
| 205 | (Mother given as Margaret Murray.) Robert is described in Stewarts of the South as being a wright in Glasgow with three or four sons. Many of Robert's nephews later moved to the greater Glasgow area to become mechanical wrights. It appears that Robert was the first of the family to do so. It is not known if his nephews followed him there and worked with him or if it is merely coincidental. The marriage and children shown here for Robert are NOT CONFIRMED. This is the only Robert Stewart in the IGI with an eldest son named Peter. This family fits with the description in Stewarts of the South. | Stewart, Robert in Glasgow (I17402)

| 206 | (mother not given may also be daughter of Janet Drummond-alias-McGrigor) | Stewart, Anna (I26097)
|
| 207 | (Mother: "Kat. McKercher".) According to The Ardvorlich History she "married Duncan Ferguson, firstly a shepherd at Gleninishach, Balquhidder, latterly a crofter at Coilcreich." IGI data reveals a probable marriage for them on 1 DEC 1799 in Port Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland. IGI reveals that Duncan Ferguson was probably the son of Murdoch Ferguson and Kath. McLaren, bap. 30 AUG 1776 in Wester Achtow, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland.) Balquhidder OPR and IGI data indicate that they probably had the following children: | Stewart, Mary (I17162)
|

|
| 213 | (See also the family of James Stewart in Kincardine by Doune who may be related to this family.) Patrick Stewart was born on 18 May 1750 in Wester Brackland, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of Donald Stewart and Janet McBeath. Patrick Stewart married on 21 Nov 1779 in Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland to Mary McGregor. They had seven children in Daldorn/Daldoran and Torrie. These properties are next to each other and straddle the Kilmadock/Kincardine parish boundary. (Daldorn in Kilmadock and Daldoran in Kincardine by Doune are the same property. There is an extension portion of Kincardine by Doune parish that existed within the bounds of Kilmadock parish. Thus, this property is recorded in both parishes. There is no other contemporary Patrick/Peter Stewart found in either the Kilmadock or Kincardine parish registers.) Patrick and his family then moved to Arasaig Mor in Lochaber, Inverness-shire, Scotland, where they lived at a farmstead known as Glengarten. Patrick Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Patrick is in Glengartan in Arasaig mor, [which is] a farm for which he pays £300 or £400 a year [to] Clan Ronald. [He] has four sons." Arisaig/Arasaig Mor is a large manor house near Keppoch in Arasaig in Lochaber, Inverness-shire, Scotland which belonged to Clan Ranald in the 18th century. Glengarten has not been located on maps but was presumably a smaller farmstead on the Arasaig Mor estate. Patrick Stewart is listed as having four sons. Only three are confirmed in the Kilmadock and Kincardine parish registers. His son James, shown here, is recorded as being born in Daldoran as the son of Patrick Stewart and Janet McGregor, not Mary McGregor. This is the only child of that couple. It's more likely to be an error by the parish clerk than to be a different couple with nearly identical names living in the same place. The fact that sons Daniel and James were baptised less than a month apart suggests that they may have been twins and baptised separately to distinguish precedence for later heredetary rights. It's not known if Patrick Stewart had more children after moving to Arasaig in Lochaber. Large migrations from the Arasaig area ended up in Nova Scotia and Ontario, Canada in the 19th century. | Stewart, Patrick in Daldoran and Arasaig Mor (I17488)

| 215 | (Thank you to Prof. David Perfect, PhD, for contributing substantial source material and commentary for the following biography.) John William Stewart was a British colonial administrator, Royal Air Force officer, and historian. He was born on 23 June 1916 in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England, the son of Lt. Col. William Murray Stewart and Frances Alice Debnam Collis. He was educated at Lancing College and later at St John's College, Oxford, where he graduated in 1938 with a third-class honours degree in English Literature (Colonial Office List 1960; Colonial Office correspondence, 9 August 1947). Stewart entered the Colonial Administrative Service in 1939 as a cadet administrative officer in Northern Rhodesia (Colonial Office List 1948; Colonial Office correspondence, 13 November 1947). Shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War, he was called up from the Royal Air Force Reserve and served in the Royal Air Force from 1940 to 1945. His wartime service was distinguished. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (D.F.C.), attended Staff College, and attained the rank of Wing Commander at the remarkably young age of twenty-seven (Colonial Office List 1948; Colonial Office correspondence, 9 August 1947). Following the war, Stewart resumed his colonial career. In 1946 he was seconded from Northern Rhodesia to Mauritius as Assistant Secretary in the Secretariat (Colonial Office List 1948; Colonial Office correspondence, 13 November 1947). His abilities attracted considerable notice within the Colonial Office. In 1947, Secretary of State for the Colonies Arthur Creech Jones described him as possessing “great intelligence and quickness,” “good judgment,” a “broad outlook,” and “unusually wide culture.” Colonial Office officials regarded him as one of the most promising officers of his generation and recorded a confident prediction that he would become “a most valuable and distinguished administrator” (Colonial Office correspondence, 9 August 1947). In late 1947 Stewart transferred to the Gambia as an Administrative Officer. Colonial Office records note that he assumed office on 13 December 1947, initially serving in the Secretariat before transferring to the Protectorate Administration. He later served as Acting Senior Commissioner in 1953 (The Gambia Gazette, 31 December 1947 and 15 May 1953; David Perfect, PhD, personal correspondence, 16 June 2026). The Colonial Office Lists show that he served in the Gambia from 1947, was seconded to the Colonial Office between 1949 and 1951, and subsequently advanced to increasingly senior positions (Colonial Office Lists 1950, 1955, and 1960). By 1954 Stewart had been appointed Under Secretary in Jamaica's Ministry of Finance (Colonial Office Lists 1955 and 1960). He later became Secretary to the Council of Ministers and subsequently Secretary to the Cabinet of Jamaica, one of the most senior positions in the colonial administration during the period leading to self-government (Colonial Office Lists 1960 and 1961). His final appearance in the Colonial Office List was in 1961, suggesting that he retired from the Colonial Service around 1960 or 1961 (David Perfect, personal correspondence, 16 June 2026). In July 1944, while serving in the Royal Air Force, Stewart married Gilda Elaine Monica Henriques in Hampstead, London. Gilda had been born on 14 December 1905 in Kingston, Jamaica. The couple had two children. After retirement they settled in Scotland, where Gilda died on 26 May 2005 in Comrie parish, Perthshire. In retirement Stewart turned his attention to historical writing. He authored Envoy of the Raj: The Career of Sir Clarmont Skrine, Indian Political Service, a biography of his cousin Sir Clarmont Percival Skrine (1888–1974), the noted British diplomat and former Consul-General at Kashgar in Xinjiang, China. John William Stewart died on 2 February 1999 in Comrie Village, Perthshire, Scotland. His career spanned the final decades of the British Empire, during which he earned a reputation as one of the Colonial Service's most capable post-war administrators. His advancement from junior administrative officer to Cabinet Secretary in Jamaica reflected the high regard in which he was held by his superiors throughout his public service career. | Stewart, John William (I28387)
|
| 216 | (The exact place of his birth is not given in the OPR.) Duncan is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South and did not inherit Lednascridan and thus is presumed to have died as a child. | Stewart, Duncan (I15588)
|
| 217 | (The OPR shows Robert's mother's name as Janet Stewart instead of Christian Stewart, but this is an error.) Robert is described in Stewarts of the South as being "lately in Invercarnaig" and thus he died bef. 1815. He is recorded as having one son, James, a cow feeder in Glasgow. | Stewart, Robert in Invercarnaig (I17778)
|
| 218 | (This is Ann Windsor's family.) Alexander's date and location of birth are unknown, as are his parents' names. According to the 1851 census, he was born in Callander parish. Onomstics suggests his father's name could be James, however we cannot be certain that all children from his first marriage are known. Alexander married firstly on 28 Dec 1822 in Callander to Anne Stewart, daughter of Walter Stewart in Edraleachdach and Elizabeth McDonald. Alexander is believed to have married secondly on 28 Dec 1832 to Isabella McEwan. The Port of Menteith parish register records the marriage as: "Alexander Stewart in Wester Dulater and Isabella McEwan, daughter of the late George McEwan and Helen McGregor, Callander. Married at Port." The only evidence we have to tie together Alexander's first and second marriages is the fact that the children were both in Dullater and there is no evidence of any other Alexander Stewart in Dullater at the time. His daughter, Margaret, from his first marriage is never found in census records with his second family as she was already away from home. In 1841, Alexander is found residing at No. 1 Callander village, Callander, Perthshire, Scotlad, with his second wife and family: Alexander Stewart, 35 (b 1806), ag lab (all born in Callander) Isabella Stewart, 25 James Stewart, 7 Helen Stewart, 3 George Stewart, 1. 60 year old Catharine McNab (b1781 in Perthshire, Scotland) was residing with them. Her relationship is unknown. In 1845, Alexander was mentioned in a newspaper article where his ploughman came in 7th place in a local ploughing competition. (See below.) In 1851, at age 50, Alexander (recorded as Stuart), b 1801 in Callander, was residing in Ballachallan, rural, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, employed as a woodman. He was residing with his wife, Isabella, b 1816, and children Helen, 13, George, 11, and Isabella, 4. Also residing with them was Isabella Ferguson, age 4. Alexander is not found in 1861 and is presumed to have died by that time. He is also not found in the 1857 Valuation Roll, when his brother-in-law, James Stewart, 5th of Edraleachdach, was residing in the carse of Wester Dullater, suggesting further that Alexander was dead before 1857. --- Callander – On Tuesday the 11th instant, the Callander Agricultural Society had a ploughing match upon the farm of Balchallan, possessed by Mr. McGregor, when fifteen ploughs started. The work done was allowed to be excellent, and the judges – Messrs Wm. Black, Daldorn; Wm. Johnston, Gartichaber; and Jas. Forbes, Ballachraggan – awarded the prizes as follow:--- 1st, Robert Stewart, Torry. 2d, William Miller, son of Mrs. Miller, Torry. 3d, Peter McGregor, ploughman to Mr. Blacklock, Callander. 4th, John McNab, farmer, Clash. 5th, Peter Buchanan, son of Mrs Buchanan, Molan. [There is no 6th in the original.] 7th, James Buchanan, ploughman to Mr. A. Stewart, Dullater. The members dined in the evening in the Dreadnought hotel, Mr. Blacklock, writer, in the chair.

| 219 | * This Duncan Ferguson is not the Duncan who was born "30 Aug 1778 in Balquhidder - son of Murdoch Ferguson and Katharine McLaren in Wester Auchtow had a son baptized and called Duncan." (Balquhidder Parish Register) That was Duncan Ferguson in Ishegarbh who married Mary Stewart on 1 Dec 1799 in Balquhidder and had children beginning with a son named Murdoch Ferguson. From the Records of the Clan and Name of Fergusson/Ferguson and Fergus, edited by James Ferguson and Robert Menzies Fergusson (Edinburgh, 1899) "Helen Stewart, the wife of Alexander Fergusson, belonged to an old family of Stewarts in Glenbuckie, and her father's sister, Margaret Stewart, married Duncan Fergusson, Stronvar, the uncle of the late Mr. Robert Fergusson, teacher, Stirling." The old Stewart family she descends from is Walter nan Cliugh Stewart.

| 220 | ** Note: Another John Stewart and Mary McFarlane were having children about the same time in Drunkie and Easter Dullater in northern Port of Menteith parish. They are two different families. ** --- John Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1700 in Blarnavaid, Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, as a son of Walter Stewart and Helen Buchanan, although no record of his birth has been found. His father's name is confirmed in the 1726 Kirk Session record of his illicit relationship with his future wife, Mary McFarlane. In 1726, John Stewart had premarital relations with Mary McFarlane. On 9 Oct 1726, John Stewart confessed to the Buchanan Kirk Session that he was the father of Mary's unborn child. “October 9th 1726 – The which day Mary McFarlane being cited and compeared and deponed yt (that) she was with child to John Stewart, son to Walter Stewart in Blarnavaid. The officer is ordained to cite the said John Stewart against ys day eight days and the said Mary to attend also. At Drymen 8ber (October)16th 1726. After prayer sederunt Min’r and elders, John Stewart being cited and appointed was called and Mary McFarlane’s confession being read to him he confessed the same to be true. They were both rebuked for yr (their) sin and exhorted to repentance and the said John was ordained to compear in publick against ys day eight days to begin his repentance.” (Drymen Kirk Session Minutes) If Mary was starting to show in October, then their child was presumably born sometime in March or April of 1727, although no record of the child's birth or baptism has been found. On 28 May 1727, John Stewart married in Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, to Mary McFarlane. Their marriage was registered secondly on 15 Jun 1727 in Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland. "May 28 1727, John Stewart in the parish of Drymen and Mary McFarlane in this parish (Buchanan) gave up their names to be proclaimed in order to marriage. Married at the manse of Buchanan June 15 1727. (Buchanan Parish Register) “…16 John Stewart and Mary McFarlane in [ink smear] married.” (Drymen Parish Register) The 1732 Drymen Parish Communion Roll lists George Stewart and (his brother) John Stewart, both in Blarnavad, paying £00:06:00. It is inferred from this reference that John is the younger brother as he is listed second. John Stewart disappears from records after 1734. His later whereabouts is unknown. He may be the John Stewart who had a son William in 1755 in Gargunnock. The following may be a second marriage for him: STEWART JOHN ISOBEL MCKENDRICK/FR360 (FR360) 26/12/1766 | Stewart, John in Spittal of Blarnavaid (I29952)

| 221 | *** Check for same named couple having children in POM 1790s James Stewart was born 8 Jun 1759 in Edraleachdach, Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, to Walter Clachan Stewart and Mary Stewart. His parents moved back to Immeroin and Lianach in Glenbuckie, Perthshire, Scotland, when he was a young boy. James Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South, Section II, c. 1815, as being a son of Walter Clachan Stewart, and as: "James Stewart, [a] tenant [in] Innirvulin [in] Strathyre [in] Balquhidder [on] Buchanan of Cambusmor’s estate. [He has] five sons, [and pays] rent [of] £50. [His sons are:] 1 Walter, a marble cutter in Glasgow, [who has] no sons (He may have had daughters.) 2 Robert, [who is] at home with his father 3 Duncan, a smith at Aberfoil. [He has] one son a minor 4 & 5 John & James minors." On 17 Jul 1784, James Stewart married in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, to Jean Stewart. He was residing at Carstran at the southwest end of Loch Earn at the time. "1784 July 17th Contracted James Stewart in Castaran in this parish and Jean Stewart in Ardvorlich in the parish of Comrie. Dues 1 sh ster." (Balquhidder Parish Register) James Stewart and Jean Stewart had eight children. Jean is believed to have died sometime between 1794-1808. James Stewart is believed to have married secondly about 1809 to Margaret McNab although no record of their marriage has been found. They had four more children, three of whom were in the Village of Strathyre. Stewarts of the South describes his residence as Immervoulin which is at the south end of the Village of Strathyre. James' last son, Donald, is not identified in Stewarts of the South suggesting that the entry was written before Donald was born in 1818. James Stewart's date of death is unknown. He is presumed to have died at Immervoulin in Strathyre. No record of his death or burial has been found. | Stewart, James in Immervoulin (I32314)

| 222 | *** From Josh Stewart -- When I went to Woodville, MS this was the Charles whose tombstone had been destroyed for a commercial apartment complex construction some years back. The record for this Charles stated he was born in 1755, and I think he likely had a different mother than Duncan and James based on the burials. All were buried on the Holly Grove Plantation but James and Duncan were buried next to each other, with Charles being buried on a different part of the property. Luckily, James and Duncan’s graves are still there, just deep in the woods. There are also other graves I didn’t have the time or tools to identify. Likely family of James and Duncan. It’s possible James and Duncan are buried next to each other because they were twins, and likely close most of their lives. Charles being born in 1755 is eerily similar the death of Catherine Colvin (the same year), and leads me to believe that Catherine died from complications at childbirth, with Charles being the last child born to William and Catherine. Charles Stewart b. 16 Jan 1761 is the son of James and Elizabeth Stewart Charles Stewart b. 1775 is Charles’ son, not the son of William Stewart and Janet McDougal. Charles b. 1775 married Mary Jones in Wake County, NC in 1798 and married again in 1820 to Mary (Johnson) Fort-Stewart in Woodville, MS. --- Charles Stewart's date of birth is not known. His gravestone does not record his age or date of birth. Based on the age of his first child, he is estimated to have been born about 1755. As the date of death for his father's first wife is unknown and the date of marriage for his father's second wife is also unknown, it's impossible to say at this point which of his father's two wives was his mother. Secondary sources conflict over details of Charles' life. Some accounts conflate Charles with his son, Charles Jr. Charles grave has recently been identified at Stewart 3 Cemetery in Woodville, Wilkinson, Mississippi, USA, about ten miles from Stewart 2 Cemetery where his brothers Duncan and James of Holly Grove Plantation are buried. Col Charles Stewart is buried with his son Justice Charles Stewart Jr., along with Unknown Jones (possibly his wife or a relative of hers), and two of his de Graffenried grandchildren. In 1790, Charles was residing in Cumberland, North Carolina, USA, with a male under 16 (presumably Charles Jr), a female (presumably his unknown first wife), and a slave. In 1801, Charles was residing in Montgomery, Tennessee, USA, on an estate with 3168 acres, next to John Stewart with 100 acres (probably his brother-in-law Jock Stewart, the half-pay British officer), and James and Duncan Stewart (his brothers) sharing 650 acres. Charles served in the fourth General Assembly representing Montgomery County, Tennessee in the House of Representatives from 1801-1803. Charles and his brother Duncan were the first Stewarts to leave Bladen County, North Carolina about 1797 for Clarksville, Tennessee. Charles operated a mill in 1810 on the west fork of the Red River. Charles also engaged in the practice of law and was appointed property appraiser by the Montgomery County Court in 1805. In 1813 in the State and Territorial Census, Charles was residing in Wilkinson, Mississippi Territory, USA. In 1820, Charles was residing on a plantation in Wilkinson, Mississippi, USA, with the following free white persons (presumably his family) 1 male over 45 (presumably Charles Sr.) 1 female 26-44 (presumably Polly Jones with a generous age) 1 male 26-44 (presumably Charles Jr) 1 male 16-18 (presumably Tignall Jones Stewart) 1 male 10-15 (presumably Duncan A. Stewart) 1 female 10-15 (presumably Jeanette Stewart) Daughter Penelope Stewart was likely living with her husband at this time. Charles also had 117 enslaved persons and 123 other untaxed person living/working on the plantation. In 1936, Stewart Clan Magazine wrote: "Charles Stewart was a twin brother of Duncan. He is buried at the Ventress place one mile north of the old Stewart estate in Wilkinson county, Miss. [Compare Charles Stewart, born Jan. 16, 1761, in Bladen county, N.C., --B:171]" (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome C, August 1936, vol. xiv, no. 2, p.189.) In a later 1957 article, Stewart Clan Magazine wrote: "Charles Stewart, born about 1760 in Sampson or Bladen county, North Carolina, received a share in his father's lands by the latter's will, Aug. 22, 1778. He married in Wake county (bond Apr. 11, 1798) Mary (Polly) Jones, daughter of Tingnall and Penelope Jones. "He moved to Montgomery County, Tennessee, with his brother, where he bought Jan. 20, 1797, of William Jones 1000 acres of land on the West fork of Red River. He sold 800 acres of this tract Oct. 20, 1800, to James Stewart. "As attorney for Duncan Stewart he made a journey back to North Carolina and sold Apr. 28, 1798, to George Devan two tracts of their father's land in Sampson County. He was appointed Oct. 15, 1810, guardian of his son Tignall Jones Stewart, to care for the property which was left to the boy by the will of his grandfather, Tingnall Jones of Wake county, dated Aug. 26, 1807. "All we need to establish in this article is that Charles Stewart, brother of Duncan, was not Charles, Jr., to whom he deeded land on the north side of the West Fork of Red River on Jan. 14, 1803; nor the Charles Stuart of Adams County, Mississippi, who, on June 23, 1803, gave power-of-attorney to Samuel Neely to sell land in Davidson County; nor yet Charles G. Stewart, whose land on the West fork of Red river adjoined a tract which he sold Mar. 14, 1809, to James Stewart. One of these three Charleses died before the July term of court, 1817, and -- later than that -- May 2, 1818, "James Stewart, attorney for Charles Stewart, "now of Wilkinson County, Mississippi Territory," deed to Thomas Watson, for $13,000, 1630 acres of land on the Big West Fork of Red River, and two days later, May 4, 1818, James, in the same capacity, conveyed 150 acres on the Big West Fork to Stephen Pettus; also he sold 160 acres, formerly Brantley's Plantation, on the south side of Red River, to James B. Reynolds of Clarksville,* who already had possession, for $700. "Charles Stewart, who was a twin brother of Duncan (sic), is buried at the Ventress place one mile north of the old Stewart estate in Wilkinson County, Miss." Only identified child: Tignall Jones: his father was appointed his guardian Oct. 15, 1810" (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, March 1957, vol. 34, no. 9, pp.189-192) ----------- From the Archives: Founder of Our County Bryan Saunders for the Stewart Co. Archives, October 27, 2016 Duncan Stewart, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, traveled across the Smokey Mountains into middle Tennessee in 1794 - two years before TN actually became a state. Many former Revolutionary soldiers were paid for their service to the country by being awarded 640 acres of land by state governments. North Carolina, at the time owned all land to the Mississippi River, including our county. They paid many of their soldiers' with tracts of land in the new frontier for their service. Stewart and brother Charles, eager to come West, bought land from soldiers who wished to remain in the Tar-Heel state. At one time, Duncan owned over 30,000 acres in middle TN. He lived in Montgomery and Stewart Counties while he surveyed and helped settle the frontier. Duncan built a fort, called Stewart Station, close to Wells Creek in the southern part of Stewart Co., in what is now Houston Co. The following is a letter from his brother Charles Stewart about life on the frontier: "Duncan and myself left that country (North Carolina) and located ourselves in then a territory, now the state of Tennessee. There, we soon got an appointment as surveyors...We have encountered all the hardships that could be conceived from the Indians who were at open war with us...In 1796, we got a peace with the Indians...In 1797, we returned to North Carolina and took wives...we then moved back to Tennessee, a distance of 700 miles away...We subsidized our families out of the woods with our guns and feasted our delicately raised wives with the flesh of bear, buffalo, deer and wild turkey...They never complained." While some people might be discouraged to stay on the edge of the wilderness, Duncan continued to buy and sell land throughout middle Tennessee. Some of the land sales have been found in the Stewart County Archives. Through the use of the Archives, Stewart County Library and the Stewart County Historical Society and their museum, many Stewart County residents are researching their past. At the recent Literacy Night at Stewart County High School, many Stewart County students learned how Stewart County got its name. In 1801, Duncan was a state senator, serving Robertson and Montgomery counties. In 1803, with a lot of people moving into the western part of Montgomery County, the state decided these residents had too far to travel to conduct business in Clarksville. They decided to split off the western part of Montgomery County and form a new county - and they named it Stewart County, after Duncan. So our county was formed on November 3, 1803. The town seat was named Monroe after (future president) James Monroe. But two years later, the citizens voted to rename the town Dover, because the high bluffs reminded many of the townspeople of similar bluffs in Dover, England. As more and more people moved into Middle TN., Duncan began to feel over crowded...he was hearing of a new frontier open for settlement in southern Mississippi. In 1811, he moved to Woodville, Mississippi, and started cotton farming. Most of his family (wife, kids, siblings) all moved south, except his twin brother James. As James' health started to fail, he decided to move from Clarksville to Mississippi in 1818. Duncan and James had always promised to be buried in the same cemetery. So James, knowing the time was near, had quite the elaborative sendoff in front of his Clarksville friends. He invited them all to the pier for his goodbye, complete with music and food. He placed his belongings on a boat, and to the surprise of many, workers loaded a substantial coffin on the boat also. A local preacher, possibly the Elder Reuben Ross, then preached brother James' funeral - while James sat on his coffin listening. It took years before the citizens of Clarksville ceased talking about this strange transaction...When James arrived in southern Mississippi, he found Duncan to be a rich man, living on a large plantation and also Lieutenant-Governor in the state. James didn't live long after he made the trip and was buried in a spot he picked out on a hill a mile from Duncan's house. Duncan was very successful and well liked in all three states...a Revolutionary War veteran in North Carolina, a frontiersman and trailblazer in middle Tennessee and a business man and politician in Mississippi. Duncan had six kids with his wife Penelope and his plantation home in southern Mississippi, (Holly Grove) is still standing today and is on the National Register of Historical Places. One side note, many people remember the movie Braveheart, with William Wallace (Mel Gibson). At the end of the movie, the Scottish king, Robert the Bruce, led the Scottish troops against the King of England. The Scots were victorious and Robert the Bruce became king of Scotland. Robert the Bruce was Duncan Stewart's ancestor. (Say the word great 14 times, then grandfather and you get the idea.) In closing, Duncan Stewart passed away on November 27, 1820, at his plantation home. He chose to honor his 50 year-old agreement to be buried next to his twin brother James. The two are buried at the Stewart Two cemetery with four other people out in the woods in southern Mississippi. | Stewart, Col. Charles Sr. in Woodville (Planter) (I15200)

| 224 | **John Stewart is the same age as his cousin John Stewart in Wester Torrie whose children were also in Lots. Both households deserve review to ensure no duplication has occured.** No birth record has been found for John. Census records give John's birth between 1786-1788. It is not confirmed that this John is a son of John Stewart in Bogton. However, this John is found in census and OPR records having children in Lots of Callander (i.e. Boglot or Bogton). This John is also a perfect chronological and onomastic match to be the second son of John Stewart in Bogton. And there is a significant gap between the first and second documented children of John Stewart in Bogton into which this John easily fits. In 1851, John Stewart was residing in Mains of Callander, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. In 1861, John Stewart was residing in Lots of Callander, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and children. John is not found in 1871 and is presumed to have died between 1861-1871. | Stewart, John in Lots (I16201)

| 225 | **This Alexander Stewart is nearly identical to, and should not be confused with, Alexander Stewart, son of Andrew Stewart, Innkeeper at Milton of Buchanan and Margaret Marshall.** Alexander Stewart was born about 1834-1843 in Gartencaber, near Milton of Buchanan, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, as a son of Andrew Stewart and Margaret McFarlane, although no record has been found of his birth. Census and other later records vary wildly on his year of birth making it difficult to accurately identify records pertaining to him, In 1841, at age 7 (birth given as 1834), Alexander Stewart was residing at Gartencaber, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings. In 1851, at age 16 (birth given as 1835), Alexander Stewart was residing at Gartencaber, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings. He was employed as a farmer's son. In 1861, at age 25 (birth given as 1836), Alexander Stewart was residing at Gartencaber, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings. He was employed as a farm labourer. On 2 Dec 1870, Alexander Stewart married in Cardross, Dunbartonshire, Scotland to Jane Glen. She was pregnant at the time. On 20 Mar 1871, just two-and-a-half months after their marriage, Alexander Stewart and Jane Glen had a daughter Janet who died shortly after birth. In the 1871 census, at age 28 (birth given as 1843), Alexander Stewart was residing at Ardencaple Farm, in Row, Dunbartonshire, Scotland, without their daughter who was presumably already deceased. Alexander was employed as a farmer of 120 acres. Also residing with him was his elderly widowed mother, Margaret Stewart, and his bachelor brother, John Stewart. Just four months later, on 31 Jul 1871, Alexander Stewart died. "1871 Deaths in the Parish of Row in the County of Dumbarton Alexander Stewart, farmer, married to Jane Glen, died 1871, July Thirty-first, at Ardencaple Row, age 30 years, son of Andrew Stewart, farmer, deceased, and Margaret McFarlane.

He is not the Alexander Stewart who died in 1871 in Ardencaple, Row, Dunbartonshire, Scotland. that is Alexander, son of Andrew Stewart and Margaret McFarlane.** --- Alexander Stewart was born on 16 Jan 1822 in Milton of Buchanan, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, as the second son of Andrew Stewart and Margaret Marshall. "January 16th 1822, Andrew Stewart and Margaret Marshall, spouses at Milltown had a lawful son born called Alexander." (Buchanan Parish Register) In 1841, at age 15, Alexander Stewart was residing at Milton of Buchanan, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings. In 1851, at age 28, Alexander Stewart was residing at Milton of Buchanan, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his parents. He was employed as a farmer's son. In 1852, Alexander Stewart's father died. Alexander Stewart immigrated likely sometime around 1860 to Iowa, USA. He is not found in either the 1860 USA census or the 1861 Scotland census, suggesting that he immigrated after the 1860 census was taken and before the 1861 census was taken. In 1870, at age 50, Alexander Stewart was residing in Florence, Benton, Iowa, USA, with the family of his younger brother, William Stewart. He was employed as a farmer. Their elderly mother, Margaret Stewart, was also residing with them. In 1880, at age 59, Alexander Stewart was residing in Fremont, Benton, Iowa, USA, in the home of his brother, William Stewart. Alexander Stewart died on 29 Apr 1886 in Benton, Iowa, USA. | Stewart, Alexander (I27698)

Both families lived adjacent to each other with Gartincaber being a cottage just north of Milton of Buchanan. They differ in their occupations and the exact names and dates of their children. Caution should be exercised to not attribute records to the wrong family.** Andrew Stewart was born in 1791 in Back Borland, Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland as a son of Andrew Stewart and Katherine McDonald. No record of his baptism has been found, however his parents' names are confirmed in his death registration. On 31 Jul 1823, Andrew Stewart married in Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, to Margaret McFarlane. "1823 - Drymen Parish - Andrew Stewart, Farmer at Backborland and Margaret McFarlane, daughter of John McFarlane, Farmer Auchalty both in this parish listed for proclamation of Banns this 31st day of July 1823 and were married."

| 228 | **This family is very similar in description to their neighbours, the family of Andrew Stewart in Back Borland and Margaret McFarlane, who resided half a mile away at Gartencaber near Milton of Buchanan.** Andrew Stewart was born 24 Feb 1790 at Mill of Drummond (Mill of Drummit), Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, as the eldest son of Agnes/Katherine McKay. Stewarts of the South, about 1815, refers to a James Stewart being a vintner in Gartmore who later moved to Buchanan which fits the description of Andrew Stewart. It's possible that the author of Stewarts of the South made a mistake about the name of the vintner and that it should be Andrew, not James. Or the following entry may refer to a James Stewart whose life was parallel. "Mr James (sic Andrew?) Stewart, vintner [in] Gartmore, of the Gartnafuaran family, £20. But [he] is going at Whitsunday to Buchanan, to an excellent situation, where he will be both vintner and miller at the same time. [He is] a stout [and] valiant young man, but of the low country cast (he acts more like a Lowlander, than a Highlander). James (sic Andrew?) Stuart, [a] Miller [at] Cubail-Larach [in] Drymen parish, [who] has five sons [who are] the stoutest and most able man in that country - one of them, Jas (James, sic Andrew?), [is] an innkeeper in Gartmore." Sometime prior to 1817, Andrew Stewart moved to the nearby village of Gartmore in Port of Menteith parish, Perthshire, Scotland, nearby to where his mother's family came from, where he became an innkeeper. Andrew Stewart married on 25 Oct 1817 in Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland to Margaret Marshall. Their marriage was also registered on the following day in Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland. "1817 Oct 26 - Andrew Stewart in this parish (Port of Menteith) and Margaret Marshall in the parish of Drymen." (Port of Menteith Parish Register) On 21 Jun 1818, Andrew Stewart and Margaret Marshall had their first child, a son named Walter, in Gartmore, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland. Andrew Stewart was identified as an innkeeper at Gartmore on the baptism registration. Shortly after the birth of their first child, Andrew Stewart and Margaret Marshall moved to Milton of Buchanan in Buchanan parish, Stirlingshire, Scotland, where the remainder of their children were born and where they remained for the remainder of Andrew's life. In 1841, at age 51, Andrew Stewart was residing at Milton of Buchanan, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his wife and children. He was employed as a farmer. In 1851, at age 60, Andrew Stewart was residing at Milton of Buchanan, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his wife and children. He was employed as farmer of 30 acres. Also residing with them was Alexander McGregor (age 21) who was working for Andrew as a farm servant. Alexander would later marry Andrew's daughter, Janet. Andrew died on 12 Jun 1852, at age 62, at Milton of Buchanan, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland. He is buried in the Buchanan parish cemetery. His gravestone reads: "In memory of Andrew Stewart, innkeeper Milton, died 12 June 1852, 62, by wife Margaret Marshall." (Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions) Following his death most of his children emigrated -- some to Austalia and others to America. | Stewart, Andrew Innkeeper at Gartmore (I27695)

| 229 | --- REV. JAMES T. STUART, M.A., MAYFIELD, EDINBURGH (Died April 12, 1885) Author: Rev. J.H. Wilson, D.D., Barclay Church, Edinburgh Source: The Free Church Monthly, March 1, 1886, Biographical Notice, p.82 James Thomson Stuart was born at Dundee on the 24th July 1837. As a boy he was singularly good and obedient. There was a tradition in the family that he only once needed a reprimand; so that it was hard for him to understand much of the unkindness and disrespect shown nowadays to parents and elderly people. He entered the University of St. Andrews in November 1853, and took the degree of B.A. in that University in April 1856, and of M.A. in 1857. After completing his undergraduate course of study at St. Andrews, he entered the New College, Edinburgh, in November 1857, and completed his theological studies there in April 1861. At college his life was peculiarly pure and earnest. He had been led to think seriously early in life, and he used to speak of Dr. Low, Rector of Dundee High School, as the means of his conversion; and on that account he often spoke to teachers of the influence they might have on young people, if they made their teaching a real work for God. All through his student life he was not without inward struggle. At first he seemed to lose the first love which came with his early conversion. He felt “the world and the flesh” strong tempters, and the fear of man a great snare, though all who knew him at a later period know well how singularly he rose above these in all his years of work. After leaving the University, a deeper work appears to have revived in his soul, which, after some years, became established, and thenceforth his whole desire seems to have been after a greater measure of holiness. Mr. Stuart left the New College in April 1861, and was licensed by the Free Presbytery of Dundee in the following June. He went straight from college to Blairgowrie, where he engaged in mission work under the Rev. Robert Taylor, now of Upper Norwood, London; and in April 1862 he became missionary-assistant in Fountainbridge Church, Edinburgh. Though now nearly quarter of a century ago, his first service in Fountain-bridge is still remembered by those who were present. His address and prayers thrilled and stirred us, and he was forthwith welcomed and valued by us as a fellow-labourer in that most interesting home-mission field. He often referred to his early labours there, and used to speak of his “Fountainbridge days” as “a red-letter time, influencing his whole after life, and stimulating his interest in mission work and in the young.” He was ordained at Borgue, in Kirkcudbrightshire, in October 1862, and in that quiet and retired country parish he began a ministry which he greatly enjoyed, and which was destined to he fraught with blessing to many. In March 1867 he removed from Borgue to Kelso, where he succeeded the gifted Dr. Horatius Bonar on his translation to Grange Church, Edinburgh. During the ten years of his ministry in Kelso, Mr. Stuart was greatly beloved, and his work was peculiarly appreciated. He gathered young men round him, and gave the young people generally quite a missionary impulse. He gave himself earnestly to evangelistic work, up to the measure of his strength, and his influence was felt throughout the entire district. Greatly to the regret of the people there, he was translated to Mayfield Church, Edinburgh, in January 1877. Under the fostering care of Dr. Blaikie and a zealous body of office-bearers, this charge, in one of the largest and most important suburbs of Edinburgh, had made rapid progress, and only needed a suitable minister in order to make it what it has now become— one of the most influential congregations in the city. Many of us looked on admiringly as the work advanced. The people, gathered from many quarters, became, under the gentle hand of their first minister, a compact body, lively in spirit and liberal to the cause of Christ. The members took a kindly interest in each other; and when the minister’s health began to fail, and he was ordered abroad in search of health, the office-bearers did much to supply his lack of service. Dr. Blaikie stood in unweariedly to fill up the blank; and the minister’s wife, during the long months of her husband’s illness and absence, worked in a way that at once surprised and delighted the friends outside, as well as those whose good she had so much at heart. The result of all this was, that the work of the congregation never flagged and the people kept together; but while certainly they had helps of an exceptional kind, it was surely largely owing to Mr. Stuart’s teaching and influence that the congregation was in the healthy and vigorous condition in which it was, when it was handed over to the much-esteemed brother who is now the pastor. Mr. Stuart’s three different charges—Borgue, Kelso, and Mayfield—were in different ways the happiest of homes and spheres of labour that any man could have had. Work and people were alike congenial to him, and in all the three he had the priceless privilege of knowing that he had been used by his heavenly Master. His preaching was characterized by a sweet persuasiveness, and by a tenderness and pathos and earnestness of tone and manner, which made a deep and abiding impression on those who listened to him. Under his ministry men were awakened and attracted to Christ. And yet, perhaps, the great characteristic of his preaching, as indeed of his pastoral work and of his whole ministry, was his quite peculiar power of comforting and instructing and building up believers. This gave a singular charm to his ministry, and gathered Christian people round him wherever he went. Mr. Stuart was never robust, and he often expressed his regret that he could not throw himself into outside work as others did, yearning as he did over the careless and perishing around. And yet, even after his health began to fail, he shrank from no duty to which he felt that God was calling him. There have been few men bolder or more faithful in the discharge of difficult duty, whether it was personal dealing with individuals or declaring publicly the mind of God in regard to any prevalent sin or evil practice. Many looked on with mingled wonder and admiration at his rare moral courage, combined with extreme sensitiveness of temperament, and with a gentleness and sympathy which may be said to have been his leading characteristic, as it was one great secret of his power. He was sorely exercised about the worldly spirit and ways of many professing Christians, often bewailing the inroads which the world was making on the Church. He lifted up a fearless testimony against the temptations to intemperance put in the way, especially of our working people. His statement of evangelical truth was very full and clear. He had an unquestioning faith in the power of the gospel, and this pervaded all his preaching. He could say, more than most, ”I have not shunned to declare unto you the whole counsel of God.” He had so many sudden and dangerous illnesses that, amid all his hopefulness, he lived as one who might receive at any moment a summons to depart. It was this thought that made life such a serious thing to him, and from his standpoint the work of the ministry seemed responsible and solemn in the highest degree. He used often to regret the “useless ornamentation”—the “roundabout way of preaching” of some, by which the gospel message was covered over, and souls were left untouched and unawakened. He used to say, “I wonder why God does not send back such as I am from the borderland, that we might speak burning words of warning and entreaty. Oh, I would preach as a dying man to dying men!” And yet no one formed a humbler estimate of his own abilities and work. He was “afraid of being thought better than he was.” His position seemed to be, as one has put it, “lying at Jesus’ feet.” He thought much of Christ as the “meek and lowly” One, and seemed brought nearer to him by that sweet text. He had great love for children and desire to be helpful to them. He was very anxious that young people should begin to store their minds with consecutive passages of Scripture, speaking of the chapters he had got his own children to learn, as “a priceless legacy.” He got them to learn one verse each night, and to revise on Sabbath, and often said, if he were allowed to preach again, how much he would urge upon the young the need of Scripture study. Of his later days this is not the place to say much. He was often heard speaking to his Saviour, and pleading with him to receive one so unworthy, falling back on all the old foundation texts— “Come unto me,” “Him that cometh unto me,” “Ho, every one that thirsteth,” “The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth,” “Jesus, my righteousness.” Mayfield was always much in his mind. He was earnest in prayer on its behalf, and deeply interested in hearing of the success and good work of his colleague, speaking often of individual people, and with special anxiety of those about whom he had any doubt as to their consecration to the Lord. His last sermon in Mayfield was preached from Psalm 16:5, “The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup,” and the last words of that sermon were, “We cannot live on the past. Our conversion, our bygone experiences, cannot sustain us. We must live on Christ—not feelings, but Christ!” His favourite hymn, known in the family as “father’s hymn,” was— “O Saviour, I have nought to plead, In earth beneath or heaven above, But just my own exceeding need, And thy exceeding love. “The need will soon be past and gone, Exceeding great, but quickly o’er; The love unbought is all thine own, And lasts for evermore.” Mr. Stuart had latterly gone to reside at Crieff, where he experienced much kindness, and there, on the 12th April 1885, after much suffering, he “fell asleep,” leaving a fragrant memory behind. Since his death a memorial tablet has been erected in Mayfield Church, bearing the following inscription:— IN LOVING MEMORY OF THE REV. JAMES THOMSON STUART, MA., INDUCTED FIRST MINISTER OF MAYFIELD FREE CHURCH, 25th January 1877. A man of God, deeply imbued with the spirit of his Master, he laboured with diligence and success in his service. On 12th April 1885, in the forty-seventh year of his age, after a long and trying illness, he entered into rest, greatly mourned by his family, his friends, and his flock. “The Lord is the portion of mine inheritarce and of my cup.” https://www.ecclegen.com/obits-s/#STUART,%20JAMES%20T. --- STUART, Rev.

| 232 | ---- History of the Fisher Family by James McIntyre (1904) James Fisher was born in Glenquaich, Scotland, in the year 1776 and, when a young man, went to Balquidder and was, for many years, a shepherd there. He married in Balquidder a Miss Stewart, one of the family of Stewarts who had, for four generations, been tenants of the Farm of Ballimore. His wife bore him three sons and they were named Duncan, Alexander and John. His wife died, a few years after the birth of John, and the youngest son, John, was taken and raised by his Uncle, John Stewart, and his Aunts, Katie and Kursty. None of these three Stewarts ever married and he, John Fisher, succeeded them as the tenant of Ballimore. Robert Stewart Fisher, Ballimore, and his Sister, Mrs John Ferguson, West Miggar, Comrie, are the grandson and granddaughter, respectively, of John Fisher. James Fisher and his two sons, Duncan and Alexander, shortly after the death of his wife, returned to Glenquaich from Balquidder and, several years after, in the year 1833, the three emigrated to Canada and along with them, at the same time, came two nephews, John and Alexander Fisher. James Fisher and his two sons settled and they took up bush lands in North Easthope, near Stratford, Canada. Shortly after their arrival in this country, Alexander, son of James Fisher, took ill with measles and died, unmarried. James Fisher died in the year 1858 and he was 82 years of age. His son, Duncan, married in Canada Christena NcNaughton, in the year 1839. She was a native of Glenquaich. They had a family of four, one son and three daughters, who are: James Fisher and his sister Jessie, unmarried and now nearly 60 years of age, who live in a pretty cottage they own on St. David Street, Stratford, having given up farming a few years ago, selling their land and stock and now living retired; a sister, Mrs Thomas Hunt, living just outside the limits of the City of Stratford, on a farm they own; a sister, Mrs George Peddie, living in the State of Michigan, who has a family of three sons and four daughters, mostly grown up and some of them married. James Fisher, Stratford, informs me that he kept up occasional correspondence with his friends in Scotland up to fifteen years ago but, from that date till now, had not hear about or from them. His father, Duncan Fisher, died in 1889, aged 82, and his mother died many years before that. At his father’s death, he sent word to Ballimore but got no reply and he often wondered if the letter ever reached the friends in the Old Country. James Fisher and his sister inform me that their uncle, John Fisher of Ballimore, married and had one son named Duncan. John Fisher died when not very old, being accidentally killed by falling off a horse. His son, Duncan, succeeded him as a tenant of Ballimore, when he came of age. He married the worthy lady who is now his widow, living at Ballimore, her maiden name being Stewart, and the issue of this marriage are: Robert Stewart Fisher and Mrs John Ferguson. Duncan Fisher, Ballimore, died about fifteen years ago, when about forty years of age. I have filled in the names of the two youngest to complete the list and Mrs. Fisher, Sr., of Ballimore, will know if the record they give of their friends in Scotland is correct. John and Alexander Fisher, the nephews of James Fisher who came out with him to Canada in 1833, first settled in Easthope Township, Canada; a few years later, they removed to North Easthope taking up land alongside of many others who, about this time, were coming out from Glenquaich, many of these being relatives of theirs. From between the years 1831 and 1850, between 200 and 300 emigrated from Glenquiach to Canada, most of them settling and taking up bush farms in this Township. John and Alexander Fisher had large families of sons and daughters. Some of their sons and daughters married and have families. One son and one daughter of John and two daughters of Alexander are living and there are a great number of the grandchildren of both living in North Easthope, Stratford, Toronto, Winnipeg, British Columbia, and elsewhere in Canada. One of John’s sons, James Fisher, is an eminent barrister and King’s Counsel, living in Winnipeg. He has been a member of the Provincial Parliament of Manitoba. I am informed that he and his wife were in Scotland twenty-seven years ago and, when there, visited Ballimore. Mrs Fisher, Sr., may have some recollection of this visit. The descendants of the three nephews of James Fisher, being a little farther removed in relationship to the friends in Scotland, I have not considered it necessary to give in as much detail as I have given the parental line but, if desired, it could be furnished.
