| 2001 | Charles studied medicine at St Bartholomew’s Hospital and passed his primary examinations in anatomy and physiology on 3rd April 1878. He married Margaret Byers in 1878 and they had two children. Margaret died in 1882 and three years later Charles married Lilian Stewart in India and they had 4 children. Lilian is the daughter of Colonel John Stewart, 12th of Ardvorlich. (Wikitree) Sir Charles Pardey Lukis KCSI FRCS (1857 - 22 October 1917) was the inaugural editor of the Indian Journal of Medical Research and served as the Director-General of the Indian Medical Service (1910-1917). Pardey was also a strong supporter of the establishment of the Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine, though he did not live to see it open in 1921. He received his medical training at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1890. The same year, he entered the Bengal Army and served and worked in India for the remainder of his career, though he was awarded his MD from the University of London in 1904. He was appointed as a professor of medicine in Calcutta in 1905 and became honorary surgeon to the Viceroy of India the same year. He was made a Commander of the Order of the Star of India in 1910, was knighted in 1911, and became honorary surgeon to the king in 1913. His appointment as director-general of the Indian Medical Service was at the rank of surgeon-general, and he was promoted to lieutenant general in 1916. Theodore Lukis, his son, was expected to follow in his father's footsteps and qualified as a medical doctor but was killed during the First World War. Lukis was extremely bitter about his loss, writing that "his has been a wasted life and I can find no justification, for a medical man, who gives up his profession of healing, in order to endeavour to kill his fellow creatures, even though they be enemies". A book co-written by Lukis, Tropical Hygiene for Residents in Tropical and Sub-Tropical Climates, was re-issued in 2010. Lukis also wrote a handbook on midwifery. (Wikipedia) | Lukis, The Hon. Dr. Sir Charles Pardey MD KCSI FRCS (I20736)

| 2002 | Charles was a medical doctor in Annapolis, Maryland, USA. He tried unsuccessfully to sue his niece Sophia Home-Stewart for the lands of Ballachallan and Argaty. MacGregor says, "Charles Stewart, against whom his niece, Sophia Home Stewart of Argaty, raised an action to halt him claiming the lands of Argaty on 17 March 1791." Stewarts of the South says, "Another of them was married to a niece of the celebrated & Gallant Gen Washington." (sic) Dr. Charles Steuart of Annapolis married Elizabeth Calvert whose sister was married to the stepson of General George Washington. His son, Charles Calvert Steuart, MD, married Ann Fitzhugh Biscoe, daughter of General George Washington Biscoe. Either of these may be the source of the confusion. "During the Revolution Steuart was a Loyalist, being, like his mother Anne, "decidedly of the Tory faction." This did not, apparently, stop him being present with General George Washington at the Siege of Yorktown in 1781, or serving in The Flying Camp, a division of the Patriot Militia established by Washington in June 1776." (unsourced) Charles acquired the estate of Bridge Hill, adjoinig the estate of Dodon, in Anne Arrundel, Maryland, USA. At his death, Bridge Hill was occupied by his son Edward H. Steuart, but (for reasons unknown) was inherited by his brother, William. | Steuart, Dr. Charles Mark MD in Annapolis (I14306)

| 2003 | Charles was married previously and had children: Stanley, Mary, Elizabeth and Charles all born in North Dakota. At the time of Charles' marriage to Sarah Stewart his residence was given as "Tyner, North Dakota" and he is recorded as a widower. | Smirl, Charles (I13950)
|
| 2004 | Charles was minister of Aberdalgie parish in east Perthshire, Scotland. Charles is described in the Fasti Ecclesia as: "Charles Calder Stewart, born 22nd Nov. 1804, second son of Alexander Stewart, D.D., minister of Canongate; educated at the Universities of Aberdeen and Edinburgh; licensed by the Presbytery of Dunblane, 3rd Oct. 1826; became Session-clerk of Perth in 1827; presented by Thoms Robert, Earl of Kinnoull, 12th Oct. 1831; ordained 15th March 1832. Joined the Free Church in 1843; admitted to Free Church, Dunning, 13th Sept. 1843; transferred to Free Church, Scone, 1847; died 30th Dec. 1876. He married 28th April 1834, Jemima Hunter Lee." "Marriages: At Greenock, on the 29th April, the Rev. CHarles Calder Stewart, minsiter of Aberdalgie, to Jemima Hunter, third daughter of the late Robert Lee, Esq. Greenock." -- Wednesday 14 May 1834, Aberdeen Press and Journal | Stewart, Rev. Charles Calder Minister at Aberdalgie (I15006)
|
| 2005 | Charles was mistakenly recorded in Stewarts of the South as Thomas (probably a transcription error for "Chas./Thos."), in which it says "Thomas emigrated some time ago to North America and had a large family." | Stewart, Charles (I15047)
|
| 2006 | Charles was only three years old when his mother died and 17 when his father died. His wife, Elizabeth Frances Steele, was the granddaughter of Frances Scott Key, author of the lyrics of The Star Spangled Banner. | Steuart, Dr. Charles Calvert MD (I22046)
|
| 2007 | Charles was residing with his widowed mother in 1841 and 1851 and unmarried. 1851 census gives his place of birth as Balfron, Stirling, but 1841 says Perthshire. He was baptized in Port of Menteith, Perthshire. The OPR has not been consulted yet. | Stewart, Charles (I15031)
|
| 2008 | Charles was the proprietor of Georgia Plantation in Mathews Louisiana. (FindAGrave) | Mathews, Charles Stewart of Georgia Plantation (Planter) (I22938)
|
| 2009 | Charles worked for the Bank of Scotland. | Moody-Stuart, Charles (I11029)
|
| 2010 | Charles worked in the Dawn Mills General Store which was part-owned by his father, brother-in-law, James Smith, and father-in-law, William Taylor. No census, marriage or death records have been found for Charles, so it is presumed that he died prior to the commencement of civil death records in 1869. | Baxter, Charles (I780)
|
| 2011 | Charles' connection to the Drumvaich family is questionable. It's not supported by Duncan Stewart (1739) or The Red Book of Scotland by Gordon MacGregor. It is found only in the Annat Family Tree from The Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Vol. 3. | Stewart, Charles in Milton of Cambus (I15018)
|
| 2012 | Charles' name is not known for sure. It is speculated based solely on the fact that his daughter Catherine named her second son Charles. | Stewart, Charles (I21296)
|
| 2013 | Charles, like his older brother Isaac, suffered from mental illness and was "in and out of mental institutions" for much of his life. (wiki) Charles married Anna Loden who was nearly 30 years his junior. They had no children. (Nelker) In 1850, he was residing as a young boy with his parents in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. In 1859, he is listed as a student in the directory for the College of New Jersey (in 1896 renamed to Princeton University). In 1860, he is recorded in two locations. He was recorded as an 18 year old student residing in a student residence in Princeton, New Jersey, USA. He was also recorded as residing with his parents in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Charles has not been found in 1870, 1880, 1890 or 1900, most likely because he was recorded as "Stewart" or "Stuart" and cannot be identified from among too many other Charles Stewarts or Charles Stuarts. In 1902, Charles married in Delaware City, Delaware, USA, to Anna Loden from Sweden. In 1910, Charles was residing in Anne Arundel, Maryland, USA, with his Swedish wife, Anna. The census indicates that they had been married for 8 years. In 1920, he was residing in Anne Arundel, Maryland, USA, with his Swedish wife, Anna, and employed as a farmer. (The census mistakenly records him as "Charles E. Steuart." It would appear that the enumerator may have misheard Anna.) | Steuart, Charles David (I21519)

| 2014 | Charles,6 (John,5 Charles,4 John,3 Robert,2 Walter,1) b. in Colrain, July 15, 1763. He was without doubt the soldier from Ashfield who served in Colonel Wesson's Massachusetts line regiment in 1778, 1779 and 1780, and the same who served in Capt. Oliver Shattuck's Co., Lieut. Col. Barnabas Sear's Regt. in 1781, m. Mary dau. of John Hulbert, the Indian fighter of Colrain. A separation followed and a second marHannah Gates, b. in Leyden about 1777. He is said to have been a carpenter by trade and erected the house in which he lived at Leyden about 1793. The house is still standing. He lived in the immediate neighborhood of the originator of a religious sect known as Dorrillites and seemed to have been a follower. In the summer of 1795 ne went to Truxton - then Fabins - Onondaga Co., N. Y., his family joining him the following winter, the journey being made with an ox team and occuping six weeks. He became a prosperous man in his new home, prominent and active in building up the new town, giving the new community transportation, through a line of teams to Albany, and having built for himself a spacious house, then popularly known as the " big red house," he entertained emigrants free of charge. He erected a sawmill and gristmill, and gave the land for the cemetery, and was at one time the second wealthiest man in Onondaga County (the county has since been divided) but reverses came ; a big lawsuit was waged year after year for water privileges until both parties spent most of their property. Between 18 19 and 1827, he visited his relatives at Middlebury, Vt., taking the journey on horseback, sitting erect and stately in the saddle, his long white hair done up in a queue making ariage, then a final separation. His second wife was deep impression upon the memory of one of the younger members of his host's household. In 1834, he again sought a home elsewhere ; this time Michigan was the goal and a third house was built at Genesee, Genesee County, where he resided until his death in 1837. His wife, Hannah, d. in Flint, Mich., in 1845 or l%4-6> a member of the Baptist church. (Severence) | Stewart, Charles (I23655)
|
| 2015 | Charlotte Cowles was previously married to a Richard Cowles. It's not known what her maiden name was. Charlotte and Thomas Thornton had twins together, but after Thomas died Charlotte abandoned the twins with another relative from her family, sold her land, and moved to Michigan. It's not known why. There is only one possible match for this Charlotte in the 1880 US Census or in the 1881 Canadian Census, so the presentation of this Charlotte is fairly likely, but not certain. Her birth name would have been Donner, daughter of Samuel and Charlotte Donner of CT. She may have had other relatives in Michigan. | Cowles, Charlotte (I2801)
|
| 2016 | Charlotte Stewart was born 10 Dec 1791 at Tar in Ruskie in Port of Menteith parish, Perthshire, Scotland, as the daughter of James Stewart of Tar and Achray and Anne Stewart, daughter of Donald Stewart, identified as the Shooter in the Appin Murder. In 1805, Smith Stewart, in his will, lists his following half-sisters as being single and residing in Auchray, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland, at the time: Isabella, Catharine, Mary, Charlotte, and Lilias Stewart. Charlotte Stewart died in 1811 at the age of 19. | Stewart, Charlotte (I15029)
|
| 2017 | Charlotte's parents and brother were murdered at the Mutiny of Gwalior in India. Charlotte was the only member of the family to survive. In 1861, Charlotte was residing with her aunt Charlotte Roberts nee Stewart in Kensington, England. In 1871 Charlotte was residing with her uncle, Capt. George Stewart, at Battleby House, Redgorton, Perthshire, Scotland in the care or James Maxtone-Graham. | Stewart, Charlotte Fanning (I14821)

| 2018 | Charmian Bondi received her Master of Arts from the University of Edinburgh in 1965 and now lives in Oslo, Norway. Charmian Bondi (M.A. Edinburgh, Scotland) is an international journalist, counsellor to victims of destructive leadership, and researcher in workplace bullying and organizational problems. She is involved in establishing self-help groups for victims of workplace harassment. In 1998 she contributed to a book, identifying some of the patterns of workplace bullying. Her chapter with Jan Gregersen in the present volume was initially presented at the Fourth International Conference on Bullying in the Workplace, Bergen, Norway, in June 2004. Postal address: Jarlsborgveien 5, N-0379 Oslo, Norway. Email: charmian@online.no The Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Vol. 3, p. 56, describes her as having married "a Swede." Her father was born in 1878, so either he was over 60 years old when she was born or there's a generation missing. However, information on her family came to us directly from her. | Stewart, Marjory Charmian Bruce 5th of Laggan (I14822)

| 2021 | Chief Justice James Thomas Brown headed the Royal Commission on customs and excise, 17 Nov 1926, investigating customs corruption in cross-border alcohol smuggling, involving Rocco Perri and Thomas Hatch. He was a lawyer, judge and political figure in Saskatchewan. He represented Souris in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan from 1905 to 1908 as a Provincial Rights Party member. He was born in Huntingdon, Quebec, the son of Samuel Brown and Margaret White, and was educated there and at McGill University. Brown moved to Manitoba in 1833 and to Saskatchewan in 1896. He practised law in Moosomin, Saskatchewan and later served as Crown Prosecutor for Assiniboia district. In 1891, James was residing in Hitchingbrooke, Quebec, Canada with his parents and siblings. He was a law student. In 1922, he married Alice M. Lewis. Brown was an unsuccessful candidate for a seat in the House of Commons in 1908. He later lived in Regina. Brown served as a puisne judge for the Supreme Court of Saskatchewan. He was named Chief Justice for the Saskatchewan Court of King's Bench in 1918. Brown died in Regina on April 28, 1957, at the age of 86. -------- Obit Brown - Sunday, April 28th, Chief Justice Hon.

| 2023 | Childhood in Scotland Peter Stewart was born in 1820 in the clachan of Morell in Easter Glentarken, Comrie parish, Perthshire, Scotland. The Comrie OPR records his place of birth as "Moril." He was the tenth of eleven children born to Robert Stewart and Catharine McNaughtan. Peter would have been raised with Gaelic as his first language in the home and English taught in the local school in Comrie. At some point in his young childhood, his family was evicted from the clachan in Glen Tarken where they'd lived for two generations and they were forced to relocate to the nearby village of St. Fillans. Peter was probably just ten or eleven years old when his father, Robert Stewart, died. Deciding to Leave Deep Roots The financial hardships they endured, compelled Peter's older siblings and their widowed mother to decide to move the entire family to Canada. Peter's father's family had lived around the shores of Loch Earn since the 1400s. His mother's family roots stretched back to Pictish times (pre-800 CE). With roots that deep, it could not have been easy to leave. Many of their neighbours from nearby Wester Glentarken and elsewhere in Comrie parish had earlier moved to southern Ontario, Canada in 1818. That earlier party included McNaughtons, Maclarens, MacNabs and Carmichaels, many of whom were distantly related to our family. Those earlier emigrants sent back letters with stories of the opportunities for free land and prosperity in the New World, which may have enticed our Stewarts to brave the journey. Leaving Scotland for Canada Peter, along with his extended family, emigrated in 1833. They landed firstly in Montreal, Quebec, Canada after a journey of many weeks at sea where one of Peter's older brothers-in-law died of cholera. In Montreal, they hired an oxen-pulled barge to haul their belongings. Peter writes about the night their barge crashed on rocks and all their possessions were lost at the bottom of the river, while the family clung to the rocks till morning. After a stopover in Muddy York (Toronto), Ontario, they finally arrived in the newly formed town of Hamilton, Ontario. Today, Hamilton is a city of a half-million people. In 1833, when our Stewarts arrived, the population was only 1000 and it had just been granted official status as a "police village." Assisted by Sir Allan MacNab Upon arrival, having lost all their possessions on the journey, the Stewarts presented themselves at the home of Sir Allan Napier MacNab, future 1st Baronet of Dundurn Castle, future pre-confederation Premier of the United Provinces of Canada, then a very successful local land speculator, lawyer and politician. MacNab's family came from farmtoun of Dundurn in Scotland, in the same parish of Comrie where our Stewarts came from. Their families were not merely neighbours, they were likely related as Peter's grandmother was a MacNab from nearby to Dundurn. Sir Allan MacNab helped our Stewarts get established in Hamilton by acquiring housing for Peter's older brother Duncan Stewart along York Street across from the then-under-construction Dundurn Castle. Peter's older siblings, John Stewart, and William McCallum, lived nearby and were likely also assisted by MacNab, although we lack documentation to be sure. Settling in Puslinch With the older Stewart siblings established in Hamilton, the younger siblings and their widowed mother acquired a land grant for future farm development on Concession 3, Lot 19-rear, in Puslinch Township, Wellington County, Ontario, just southwest of the newly settled village of Guelph, Ontario. (See map above.) It is likely that MacNab aided in their land acquisition. The Puslinch settlers included: widow Catharine Stewart (age 60), and siblings, Robert Stewart, Jr. (21), Catharine Stewart (18), Peter Stewart (14) and William Stewart (9). They arrived in Puslinch in 1834. There was only one road between Hamilton and Guelph in 1834. It would have been a rough dirt path through the forest. At the time that they settled in Puslinch, their land was still uncleared, rough forest - they were true pioneer settlers, and they were the first Europeans to live on their land. Before they could farm their land or even build a house, they first had to clear the land of trees. Peter's older brother, Robert, became head of the household in Puslinch and married shortly thereafter to Mary Gillespie, whose family shared the same land. First Winter in a Shanty Their first winter was spent in little more than a shack. Peter Stewart’s childhood memory described it as “a shanty without any door but an old country blanket hung over.” Bears, wolves, and rattlesnakes were common hazards. Peter recalled a bear actually barging into the shanty at one point. As someone who has lived through many southern Ontario winters, I can only imagine how harsh it must have been. Highlanders were hardy people. Peter and the Drunk Oxen It appears that Peter was a bit wild while growing up. His memoirs tell of a time while he was helping clear a neighbour's farm land. "There was a great work party with many neighbours and their oxen working to clear trees and stumps." Peter's team of oxen were going slower than everyone else's so he fed them each a bottle of whisky. Apparently they perked up a bit afterwards! He also comments that fortunately they were not his oxen! Peter also used to haul whisky to Toronto for David Allen of Guelph. Peter and his partner Robert Allen (David's brother) would sell the whisky for $0.20/gallon. Their trip from Guelph to Toronto and back would take four days. Peter Helps Build the Brock Road Between 1838-1846, Peter worked as a road builder, like his older brother, Duncan. Peter worked for Absalom Shade, one of the founders of the town of Galt, to build what is now Brock Road through west Puslinch township. This work provided a significant secondary income for the Stewart household. (This story may have been confused with a later story below.) Tragedy - a Family Orphaned by Smallpox In 1848, tragedy struck the Stewart household in the form of a smallpox outbreak in the community, killing Peter's brother, Robert Stewart, his wife Mary Gillespie, and their mother Widow Catharine Stewart (MacNaughtan), leaving Robert's four children orphaned. Siblings Catharine Stewart and Peter Stewart (now ages 32 and 28) stepped up to help raise the orphaned children, including Robert III (age 12), Hugh (9) and Catharine (7). The youngest orphan, James (2), initially went to live with his aunt, Margaret Stewart and her husband William McCallum, in Hamilton, but later rejoined his siblings in Puslinch. The 1851 census shows Peter and his sister, Catharine, with orphans Robert (14), Hugh (12), and (10) Catharine residing with them in Puslinch, Ontario, Canada. Orphan James was residing with his aunt Margaret in Hamilton. They are residing in a 1 storey log house. Life on the Farm in Puslinch Peter finally secured the deed of ownership for the family property in 1854: "Province of Canada, Deed to Peter Stewart, Clergy Reserve Land To Peter Stewart of the township of Puslinch in the county of Wellington, yeoman and his heirs At the price of 75 pounds (Approximately $16,000 Cdn in 2022.) One hundred acres, the rear or north half of the clergy reserve lot number 19 in the 3rd concession of the township of Puslinch Signed at Quebec this 9th day of October 1854, in the 18th year of our reign." In 1861, Peter was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada (his age is shown incorrectly as 30) with his sister, Catharine, and the orphans Robert, Hugh, Catharine and James. Also living with them is Peter's older sister, Jane McCowan (nee Stewart, age 60) and her son, Peter McCowan (age 23). They are shown to be still residing in a log home at this time. Peter Fights off a Bear with a Branding Iron “A bear came and got among the pigs and took one of them. I took a fire brand and gave chase, overtook the bear and struck him across the head, but he would not let loose the pig. [Our] dog, a large, heavy one, made an attack on the bear. Still he would not let loose, but he took the pig to the hill in the bush and had a good meal out of it and left what he could not eat under a turned-up maple tree.” - Peter Stewart Peter Builds the Stone Farmhouse It is estimated that Peter's stone farmhouse was built sometime in the 1860s or 1870s. It seems likely that he may have wanted to have it built in time for his new bride to move into in 1866. Peter Marries Catherine McLean and Raises a Family Peter and Catherine raised their niece and nephews until they were old enough to live on their own. (For the story of the orphans and their descendants, see Robert Stewart, Jr.) It was only after the orphans were grown and gone that, in 1866, Peter, then age 46, married the young Catherine McLean, age 23, half his age. Together they had nine children of their own. Witnesses at Peter and Catherine Mclean's wedding included their nephew, Hugh Stewart and Peter's younger brother, William Stewart. In 1871, Peter was residing at concession 3, lot 19, in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, as the property owner, employed as a farmer, residing with his sister, Catharine, and his wife, Catherine, and their children Mary (4), Robert (3) and newborn Catherine Ann. Also residing with them is Peter's nephew, Edward (13), son of Peter's brother, William Stewart. Peter's older sister, Jane, and her son, Peter McCowan (McGowan) was also residing with them. (p2, line4, family 6,) He has 100 acres with one house, one barn, 2 carriages/sleighs, 3 carts/wagons/sleds, 3 ploughs, 1 reaper, and 1 fanning mill. He has improved 75 of his 100 acres, with 10 acres in pasture, 2 acres in gardens or orchards, 10 acres in wheat, yielding 90 bushels in spring wheat and 100 bushels in fall wheat, 80 bushels in barley, 200 bushels in oats, 60 bushels in peas, 1 acre yielding 200 bushels in potatoes, 1600 bushels in turnips, 50 bushels in beets, 40 bushels in carrots, 8 acres yielding 15 tonnes of hay, and 30 bushels of apples. He has 3 horses over 3 years old, 1 colt or filly, 4 milk cows, 7 other horned cattle, 20 sheep, 4 swine. In the past year he slaughtered 3 cattle, 22 sheep, 6 swine. He generated 200 pounds of butter, 80 pounds of homemade cheese, 100 pounds of wool, 20 yards of homemade cloth or flannel, and 11 cords of firewood. Barn Fire Revenge In 1877, the farm next door to Peter came up for auction for $1500 (approximately equivalent to $3.4 million in 2020) due to the owner, Patrick McGuinness', failure to pay the mortgage. Patrick McGuinness was so upset about losing his farm to his neighbour that he torched Peter's barn that night. The fire killed all of Peter's livestock and destroyed all of his farm equipment. Patrick McGuinness was sentenced to 3 years hard labour in Kingston Penitentiary. In 1881, Peter Stewart was residing in Puslinch, Ontario, Canada, employed as a farmer and living with his wife and children. His sister, Catharine Stewart, and nephew, Peter McGowan, are not listed with the family. Tragically, in 1883, Peter's wife Catherine died prematurely at the young age of 40, leaving Peter and his sister Catherine to raise his children. In 1891, Peter Stewart was a widower residing in Puslinch, Ontario, Canada, employed as a farmer, and living with his sister, his children, and his nephew Peter McGowan, who was working in the Stewart house as a servant. Peter Gravels the Brock Road "Mr. Peter Stewart has completed the gravelling on the Brock Road from Hamilton's Hotel to Aberfoyle. Judges say that the work is most satisfactory. The overseer, Mr. John Card, is also highly pleased with the work." - Guelph Mercury, Saturday, October 17, 1896. (As this story closely resembles the earlier Brock Road story, it's possible that only the latter is true and the earlier is a mis-remembering of this story.) In 1901, Peter Stewart was residing in Puslinch, Ontario, Canada as a widowed farmer, with several of his younger children, his sister, Catharine, and his nephew, Peter McGowan. Peter Stewart and Duff’s Presbyterian Church Peter served as an elder at Duff’s Presbyterian Church for 27 years. He also ran the local Sabbath School for many years. He was remembered as an esteemed and generous man. Death Peter Stewart and his sister Catherine remained on the family farm until they died in 1901 and 1904 respectively. The Stewart family farm house is located at 6981 Puslinch Conc. 4, RR # 6, Guelph, Ontario. Peter Stewart's stone house still stands. It is now owned by the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada. --------------------------------------------------------- McPhatter Letter, full text, 1898 (Peter would have been 78 years old when he gave the following account. This was only three years before his death in 1901.) Peter Stewart was born in St. Fillans, Perthshire, Scotland in 1822 (sic) and arrived in Canada in 1834 and arrived in Puslinch the same year and bought this farm from a man named James Burnside and has lived here ever since and have now 200 acres of land, all in good order and a well stocked farm. He can remember many of old time reminiscences of earlier days. On the way out from the old country with five brothers and five sisters, one of the sisters' husbands died in Montreal from cholera and that dreaded disease was prevalent all over Canada at that time. On the way up from Montreal, there were twenty-one oxen teams driven by French Canadians, and on the way the rapids were about to take the teams into the river. The ropes were cut and the boat was left broadside against a rock, but we were all saved by being allowed to remain on the rock till morning, and arrived safe in Toronto. We remained there three weeks and we arrived in Hamilton. We could not get a house to live in on account of the cholera. We stayed in Hamilton till the next fall. [This contradicts the earlier account that they arrived in Montreal in 1834 and arrived in Puslinch the same year.] Early days in the bush I have started out with my oxen on Monday morning and did not return till Saturday night being at a logging bee down on the 1st Concession and the Gore every day in the week. At one logging bee, when whisky was plentiful and good, Charles Borthwick was grog boss and I was driving a neighbour's oxen, and they were very heavy and lazy, and I got tired driving them and in the afternoon I gave each ox a bottle of whisky. I had the liveliest team in the field! And the oxen, I am glad to say, belonged to Kenneth McKenzie, an old Puslinch neighbour, now of Burnside, Manitoba. However, I must here say that in those days that the neighbours were so good to each other and would be happy to have to eat a scone made of flour and water, and we would have some wild gooseberries stewed and maple sugar with potatoes, venison and sometimes bear meat. We were very happy. Another time we had a shanty to live in without any door but an old country blanket hung over, when [a] bear came and got among the pigs and took one of them. I took a fire brand and gave chase, overtook the bear and struck him across the head, but he would not let loose the pig. [Our] dog, a large, heavy one, made an attack on the bear. Still he would not let loose, but he took the pig to the hill in the bush and had a good meal out of it and left what he could not eat under a turned-up maple tree. Many other of histories I can relate of hunting bears and deer. One evening we caught a good sized cub, killed him and took his pelt off when the old bear came along and we had all we could do to keep her away -- the roars of her was terrible. Then the old bear [came] along and we had all we could do to keep her away. [Later] she was looking for her cub and came [when] we were all in bed. In those days there no concession and roads made, but [just] trails and blazes on the trees so that we could see. And I can well remember Shades Road through Puslinch. It follow on near where the Accommodation Road now is on the Blind Line between the 4th Concession and the 5th Concession and we at that time followed Shades Road with our loads of maple sugar on our backs to Galt. Another incident of early days was hauling whisky to Toronto with two yokes of oxen with a wagon for David Allen of Guelph. His brother, Robert Allen, and I started from Guelph before daylight in the morning for Toronto with a big load and we sold whisky all the way down and we took four days on our way there and home. We sold it out by the barrel for twenty cents per gallon. I have raised a family of nine children, four girls and five boys, all at home, but two [are now] in Manitoba. Peter Stewart ---------------------------------- Obituary: Peter Stewart. In Puslinch on Tuesday, December 3, 1901, aged 82. Funeral will take place from his residence, lot 19, 3rd concession, Puslinch on Thursday at 1. Friends and acquaintances will please accept this notice. An old and respected resident of the township, he died after a long illness at his home this morning. In 1834 his widowed mother, with a family of ten came from Perthshire, Scotland. By industry and frugality, a comfortable home was provided. He leaves a family of nine, five sons and four daughters, viz: Robert, Harris, Kenneth and Mrs. David McNaughton in Manitoba and Mary, Neil, Duncan, Lizzie and Maggie and his sister, Miss Catherine, at home. Mr. Stewart was associated with Duff's Church ever since its organization and was an earnest and consistent member. For many years, even until his infirmities prevented, he was an active worker in the Sabbath school on the 3rd concession. For 27 years he was an elder of the church, serving faithfully and always taking an active and intelligent interest in all the work of the church. His home was ever characterized by kind hospitality and generous gifts to the needy. He was well known and highly esteemed for his goodness of heart, honest frankness, humility, purity of life and nobleness of character. During the last few years he suffered from repeated strokes of paralysis and for over seven months was unable to leave his room, where his family, kind neighbours and friends, ministered constantly to his needs until his peaceful deliverance came. The service was conducted by Rev. W. Robertson of Duff's Church assisted by the Rev. Mr. McDonald of Hespeler. Interment Crown Cemetery. Pallbearers: Alexander McCaig, Allan McDiarmid, Andrew Munro, John A. Cockburn, Hugh Ross and William McKay. Miss Catherine Stewart, now 84, who has always lived with her brother, is the only surviving member of the ten who constituted their family. ------------------------------------------------ Historical Atlas of the County of Wellington, Ontario. Toronto: Historical Atlas Publishing Co., 1906 STEWART, Peter (d.). This respected Puslinch pioneer was b. in Perthshire, Scot., in 1817, and came to Canada in 1832. He stopped at Hamilton a year, and came up to Puslinch in 1833, and purchased 200 acres, lot 19, con. 3, where he settled, living on this farm the balance of his long and useful life. There were no roads back to the third concession when the late Peter Stewart made is settlement, and he followed a "blazed" path through the unbroken forest to his land. He made a small clearing and erected a log shanty. This farm he cleared, and though starting in the world without means, became a very successful man, and was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. He took an active interest in church matters, and was one of the founders of Duff's Church [sic. Peter's mother was a founder. Peter was a child at the time.], and an Elder in it for many years. In politics he was a Liberal, although outside of being a School Trustee, he never sought municipal honors. | Stewart, Peter (I17494)

| 2025 | Christian Buchanan's birth has not been confidently identified. There is an excellent match with a Christian Buchanan, born 1796 in Callander, daughter of John Buchanan and Ann Ferguson. It is the only close match in the Callander parish register, however, as we've seen many missing birth registrations in Callander in this time period, we cannot be confident that it is the correct birth based solely on the fact that it's the only match and it matches onomstically on her mother's side. Her birth could be unrecorded. In 1841 and 1851, Christian Stewart was residing in Callander Village, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with her husband and children. She has not been found in later census records. | Buchanan, Christian (I28226)

| 2026 | Christian Ferguson was born 29 Apr 1816 in Dunblane, Perthshire, Scotland, as seventh of eleven children to Peter Ferguson and Christian Ferguson. In early 1840, Christian Ferguson had clandestine relations with John Stewart. On 21 Dec 1840, in Dunblane, Perthshire, Scotland, Christian Ferguson gave birth to an illegitmate son, James Stewart. In 1841, at age 25, Christian Ferguson was residing at Brae Part, Dunblane, Perthshire, Scotland, with her newborn son, James Stewart, and her elderly mother, Christian Ferguson. John Stewart was not present. "Dunblane 25 April 1841, The which day the Kirk Session being met and constituted. Sederunt The Rev'd William Mackenzie Moderator and Elders. Compeared voluntarily before them Christian Ferguson in Dunblane confessing the sin and guilt of fornication and gave up as partner of her guilt and father of her child _____ Stewart of the parish of Monzievaird -- this said individual in presence of one of the Elders that he was the father of her child. She was seriously and suitably exhorted to repentance and amendment of life and appointed to appear before them a second time." (Dunblane Church of Scotland Kirk Session Minutes 1820-1873, p. 181, CH2/101/12) "Dunblane 23 May 1841, Which day the Kirk Session met and was constituted. Sederunt The Minister and Elders.... This day Christian Ferguson in Dunblane appeared according to appointment for the sin of fornication and was rebuked and exhorted to repentance and amendment of life and having obeyed every appointment was absolved from scandal and restored and restored to the privileges of the church." (Dunblane Church of Scotland Kirk Session Minutes 1820-1873, p. 186, CH2/101/12) Sometime in late 1849, Christian Ferguson had clandestine relations with John Davidson and became pregnant. In June 1850, Christian Ferguson gave birth to a son, Peter Davidson. Christian was subsequently accused and tried by the Dunblane Kirk Session for fornication. She received a visit from a committee consisting of the minister and elders who met with her three times privately, she was summoned to appear before the Session five times where she i) confessed her guilt of the sin of fornication in front of the elders, ii) was instructed to meet with the committee of the minister and elders, iii) was exhorted and rebuked in front of the elders, iv) was examined and admonished in front of the elders, and v) examined and solemnly exhorted in front of the elders before finally being absolved from further censure and restored to the privileges of the Church. Which means that for the eight months that her trial dragged on, she was barred from receiving Communion. Meanwhile, her co-fornicator, John Davidson, was not charged with fornication, was not barred from receiving communion, did not receive a visit from any elders, was never summoned to appear for any humiliating lecture in front of the elders, was never forced to confess guilt in front of the elders, and was never censured. He received absolutely no consequences for getting Christian pregnant. "At Dunblane, October 7th 1850, which day the Session met and was constitutued with prayer by the Rev.'d Thomas Hislop, Mod., with him Messrs. Gentle, King and Malcolm.... Compeared Christina Ferguson, confessing herself guilty of the sin of fornication with John Davidson in consequence of which she brought forth a male child four months ago. The Session agreed to delay consideration of this case until the next meeting."

(Minute CXVI, p. 104, Dunblane Free Kirk Session, Kirk Session Minutes 1843-1860) In 1851, at age 39 (sic), Christian Ferguson was residing at Brae Posh, Dunblane, Perthshire, Scotland, with her son James Stewart, her newborn illegitimate son, Peter Davidson, and her elderly mother, Christian Ferguson. On 13 Feb 1852, Christian Ferguson married in Dunblane, Perthshire, Scotland, to John Davidson, the father of her illegitimate son, Peter Davidson. The marriage was registered secondly two days later on 15 Feb 1852 in Old Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland. In 1861, at age 49, Christian Davidson was residing on Buchanan Street in Old Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland, with her husband, John Davidson, and his son, Thomas, from his previous marriage. Her son, Peter Davidson, was not present and is presumed to have died in early childhood. In 1871, at age 59, Christian Davidson was residing on Bank Street in New Dundyvan, Coatbridge, Old Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland, with her husband, John Davidson, and his son, Thomas, from his previous marriage. In 1881, at age 65 (sic), Christian Davidson was residing at Sweenies Land, Old Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland, with her husband, John Davidson. Christian Davidson has not been confidently identified in the 1891 census. She would have been about 79 years of age. On 12 May 1892, at High Street, Dunblane, Perthshire, Scotland, Christian Davidson died. | Ferguson, Christian (I31784)

| 2029 | Christian is found only in the 1851 census shown as age 26 born in Crieff, as the daughter of James Stewart. She is presumed to be illegitimate, but no birth record has been found for her and she has not been found in any other census records.

| 2032 | Christian MacNab is described in The Scottish Journal as "a daughter of the Laird of MacNab." (Stirnet shows her incorrectly as the daughter of "General MacNab of MacNab." Gen. MacNab was her brother, Archibald.) "Christian and her twin brother Duncan were baptised at Killin 22 Aug 1717. Christian is also named in a disposition and assignation by Robert & Anna dated 28 Dec 1722 (NRS-GD112/2/8/115) and a copy bond by Robert in favor of his younger children, dated 11 Mar 1725 (NRS-GD112/2/8/116). Duncan must have died young, because he appears in neither of these documents." (Loraine Smith, Clan MacNab Society) | MacNab, Christian (I9399)
|
| 2033 | Christian McDonald's birth has not been identified. However she is a perfect chronological and onomastic match for Christy McDonald, born Mar 1805, daughter of John McDonald of Blarcrioch and Margaret Stewart of Cashlies. If so, this would make Christian's daughter Anne McKinley a distant cousin of her husband, Alexander Stewart. The only hitch is that Mrs Stewart of Milton in her account of this family says that Christy McDonald died in childhood. However, Mrs Stewart of Milton has been found to be incorrect on other similar claims. She may also have been married previously to John Stewart, spirit dealer in Glasgow, and are claimed to be parents of Archibald Stewart, shoemaker. | McDonald, Christina (I9854)

| 2034 | Christian McIntyre was born on 31 Jan 1802 in Carnlia on the west side of Glen Beich in Balquhidder parish, Perthshire, Scotland. Christian married on 10 JUL 1829 in Balquhidder and 22 JUL 1829 in Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland to her maternal cousin, John Stewart, b. Abt 27 Jul 1802, Ardveich, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland , d. 1836, McNab Township, Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada (Age ~ 33 years). He was born almost next-door in Ardveich on the east side of Glen Beich, but in Comrie parish, Perthshire, Scotland. He was living in Kilmadock at the time of their marriage. Later that same year, they had their first child, Ann. Her birth record has not been found. In 1831, at age 29, Christian and her family immigrated to Renfrew, Ontario, Canada with her extended McIntyre family. They had an infant daughter Ann with them. They stopped briefly in Grenville, Quebec, Canada, where their second daughter Margaret was born, before finally settling in Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada. In 1835, Christian's husband, John Stewart, was tragically killed: “Then, for a time, Rev. Mr. Fairbairn, the Ramsay minister, came occasionally to visit the people. And in connection with his coming, there occurred one of the early and memorable tragedies of the district. It was probably about the year 1835 that the people were going to meet with Mr. Fairburn at John Fisher’s on the south side of the Madawaska, near Burnstown. Those on the north side went across in canoes. A number had safely crossed the swiftly swirling waters at that point, on this side as on former occasions; but the canoe containing John McNab (known as Auchessan McNab), John Stewart (father of the late “Churchfield John”, and the blacksmith McArthur with his two children, capsized. McArthur managed to swim ashore with one child, but McNab, Stewart, and the other child were all swept down by the current and drowned. For many days the neighbours “dragged” the waters till the bodies were found." (The Story of Renfrew - From the Coming of the First Settlers About 1820 by W. E. Smallfield and Rev. Robert Campbell, D.Sc. Renfrew, Smallfield and Son, 1919) They have not been found in 1841. In the 1851 census Christian is shown as "Mrs John Stewart, widow", residing with her three children in McNab, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada. Christian's death certificate records her as being born in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland and as the wife of the late John Stewart. The informant was her son, John Stewart in McNab Township, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada. | McIntyre, Christian (I10143)

| 2035 | Christian NcKiall married Duncan Galloch, but it is not confirmed that it is this Duncan Galloch. This arrangement represents the author's hypothesis. The surname NcKiall (more correctly NicKiall) is the female form of MacKiall, which is probably MacKyle (in English) or MacCaol (in Gaelic). Caol means "narrows, channel, or strait." | NcKiall, Christian (I11598)

However her birth predates parish records so her birth cannot be confirmed. Christian Stewart married on 30 Jun 1650 in Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland to Patrick McInturner aka Miller.

| 2044 | Christian Stewart was born 17 Nov 1721 in Middle Third of Gartmore, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland, as a daughter of James Stewart and Mary Watson. When Christian was a young girl, her family moved just 3 km away to Lead, another farm on the Garmore estate, but which happens to be across the parish and county boundary in Drymen, Stirlingshire and so sounds further away than it actually is. On 6 Jul 1745, Christian Stewart married in Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, to Robert McNair in neighbouring Dullat farm. "1745, July 6, Robert McNair in Duilat and Christian Stewart daughter of James Stewart in ___ Lead both parishioners listed. Their consignation in the parish of [illegible]." (Drymen Parish Register) They had two recorded children between 1746-1759 and one additional confirmed daughter, Isabel, who was likely born about 1760 and for whom no baptismal record survives. Christian and Robert most certainly had additional children in the thirteen year gap between their recorded children.
