| 2051 | Christian Stewart was born 7 Jun 1706 in Ballachallan, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, as a daughter of George Stewart and Mary Home. Her first name is not given in her baptismal registration. However, her name is confirmed in the records of the baptisms of her children. Christian's brother, David Hume Stewart, 3rd of Ballachallan is recorded as tutor to the children of Donald McFarlane of Letter in a testament by Alexander McFarlane in Lettir, by which at his death: "The balance (of his estate) estimated, in value to the sum of One Hundred and Forty Seven Pounds Scots money which was put in the hands of David Stewart of Ballochallan as Tutor to the children of Donald Mcfarlane of Letter who bought the said effects." This relationship is also mentioned in the Stewarts of the South: "3 Auchraig & Letter Do - at present Benny Munrows property sold by the late Robert's father to a family of the name of Stirling who sold it again to one Mcfarlane from whom the late David of Balchallan swindled it, although they were his sister's children [emph. added].

| 2052 | Christian Stewart was born 7 Mar 1748 in Easter Bollat, Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, as a daughter of William Stewart and Margaret McGregor. Christian Stewart has not been identified in later records. Nothing more is known of her. | Stewart, Christian (I31118)
|
| 2053 | Christian Stewart was born in 1805 in Immeroin, Glenbuckie, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, as the daughter of Peter Stewart in Immeroin and Agnes Ferguson. Little is known of Christian's life other than she never married and lived a life of poverty. Christian Stewart has not been identified in the 1841, 1851, or 1861 census records. In 1862, she came under the care of the Parochial Relief Board for the parish of Balquhider for financial relief as a pauper. In the Relief Board report, Christian is identified as being a former "out-door worker" (which could mean an outdoor labourer, but the term is also used as a euphamism for prostitution). She had two illegitimate sons, John Buchanan who lived in Balfron, Stirlingshire, Scotland, and Robert McGrowther (McGruther) who immigrated to New Zealand. Her sons have not been identified in public records. In 1871, at age 66, Christian Stewart was residing at Bridge of Turk, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. (The Relief Board report specifies they were living at Duncraggan at Bridge of Turk.) She is listed as a former domestic servant. She was residing as a lodger in the home of John Stewart (29, a coachman, born in Aberfoyle) and his aunt, Janet McFarlane (50, general servant, born in Aberfoyle), his sister, Janet Campbell (57, born in Callander, housekeeper), and his niece, Janet Keir (14, born in Aberfoyle). It's possible that Christian was also a relative. In June 1871, Christian Stewart moved to Balfron, Stirlingshire, Scotland, to live with her son, John Buchanan. He has not been confidently identified in census records as there are too many matching records. On 20, Oct 1873, Christian Stewart, died in Balfron, Stirlingshire, Scotland, as a spinster pauper. --- GENERAL REGISTER OF POOR BELONGING TO THE PARISH OF BALQUHIDDER (Page 32) Name: Christian Stewart Residence: Balquhidder Age: Fifty-six years Date of Minute of Parochial Board or Committee admitting Liability and authorizing Relief: 18 November 1862 Amount and Description of Relief?

But they were also second-cousins on her maternal grandmother's side and third-cousins on her paternal great-grandfather's side. They were also fourth-cousins on her mother's side and his father's side. It's a good thing they never had children. Their autosomal DNA results would have been a nightmare to sort out.

| 2078 | Clan O'Cahan (O'Cathain, O'Cahan, Keane, Kean, O'Kane, Kane, Cain, McCain). The eponymous ancestor of the O'Cahan Clan of Ulster was Cathain (which means "one who does battle"), who lived in the 9th Century, a descendant of Fergal mac Mael Duin, King of Tara (d. 772 A.D.), ancestor of the O'Neill Royal dynasty. The O'Cahan line branched off through Fergal's son, Conchobar, and is the senior cadet branch of the O'Neills. Known as "The Warrior Clan of Ulster". The O'Cahan family were under-kings (Ur-Righ) of the O'Neill dynasty and bore the titles "King of Limavaday, Kianaght, and Fir-na-Creabh" (the latter now the Barony of Coleraine). They also were the hereditary inaugurators of the O'Neill Kings. In Ulster the name is now usually found as Kane or O'Kane in Co. Derry, while in north Antrim the form McCain is often found. Cumagh, pronounced "Coey", is sometimes found Anglicized as "Guy". Donn = "brown". Cumagh Donn O'Cahan was either the son or nephew of Cumagh mac Mahon O'Cahan, both of whom were kings of Fir-na-Creabh (Coleraine, Ireland) and Keenaught. Cumagh mac Mahon O'Cahan was deposed in 1273. His father, Manus Of the Battle of Down was killed at the Battle of Down in 1260. | O'Cathan, Cumagh Donn (I11709)

| 2083 | Col. James Steuart was born about 1652 in Annat, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, as the son of Capt. John Stewart, 2nd of Annat, a Stewart loyalist. James eventually took up service in the Hanovarian army and was appointed Deputy Governor of Edinburgh Castle. He was later accused of being a Jacobite spy. Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "John of Annat had likewise by his second wife, 4 James Stewart, Lieutenant-Colonel to the Scots Regiment of Horse Guards and Deputy Governor of the Castle of Edinburgh, who had issue," His descendants are currently unknown. In the spring of 1680, Steuart was serving as a Lieutenant in the Royal Scots Grenadier Company and was sent to Tangiers to fight against the Moors. In the course of the combat, Lt. Steuart lost his leg. In1703, he was raised to the rank of Lt. Col. and appointed Dep. Gov. of Edinburgh Castle. On the night of September 8, 1715, the Jacobite army had recently formed in the northeast of Scotland under the Earl of Mar. James Drummond, 3rd Duke of Perth, was leading a secret expedition 80 to 100+ Jacobites into the city of Edinburgh with the intent of capturing the castle by scaling its walls with ropes and ladders and opening the postern gate to admit the Jacobites. They had help on the inside waiting for them. Lt. Col. James Steuart was in charge of the castle that night, on behalf of the Hanoverian government. He came from a strongly Jacobite family (the Stewarts of Annat) and his loyalties were doubted. He received word by letter that an attempt was going to be made to take the castle that night. He "made slyght of" the letter and dismissed it as nothing to worry about because Edinburgh Castle was too strong. He did not increase the guards and did nothing to prepare the castle for possible breach. Lt. Col. Steuart's aid, Lieutenant Lindsey became concerned and worried by Col. Steuart's lax response to the intelligence. Lindsey went to inspect the guards around the castle. He found only one guard on duty near the postern gate and that guard was in possession of scaling equipment. Lt. Lindsey then sounded the alarm and the party of Jacobites outside the castle walls were discovered and captured. Four of them were imprisoned in the Tollbooth and tried. One was hanged. Lt. Col. Steuart was accused of aiding the Jacobites by doing nothing to prepare the castle's defenses for possible attack, but there was insufficient evidence to say one way or the other. He was deemed unfit to be in charge of the castle, was dismissed from his position, and was sent back to his former unit as a half-pay officer for the remainder of his life He died in 1722.. (For details of Col. Stewart's career, see Mr. K. A. Moody-Stuart's article in the Scottish Historical Review, Vol. CCI, No. 81, Oct. 1923.) He is described as "sleepy or crafty" in his defence of Edinburgh Castle against the Jacobites in 1715 when they sought to take Edinburgh "by surprise and treachery." "It was September 8th at night and nynth in the morning that the atempt was designd at the postern gait. Our Ensign Arthur quho had a comand formerly as ensign in the Castle and was in reput for a whigg carryd it on and was principaly in the plott and a brother of his a doctor of medecin. These brothers had access at will to the garison on haveing been ane officer and the other by that means gott ane intimacy with all the officers there this they improvd and corrupted three common sentinals viz. Thomson, Angly and Holland that they showld assist them from the wall at quhat tyme they showld appoynt. There had at severall times a party of my Lord Drummond's men come over and I am persueded not under 100 were hid in and about the town by the Jacobit party besyds qubat Jacobits were prive to it here. They had prepared their scalding lethers with horells to kep them of the wall the syds of robpes and timber steps they ar to be seen in the laich parte of the Parliament howse and on the nynth of September all was in readyness, but my Lord Justice Clerk was apprisd of their design by a letter the night befor quhich he communicat to Cornell Stwart (Col. James Stewart, son of John Stewart of Annat) deputy governowr, and Liftenant Lindsie. Cornell Stewart made slight of it whither out of knavrie or that he thowght it impracticable I can not tell but he has been judged and outed of his post as gwiltie of the former and certainly he was to officiows with the Jacobite partie in the end of the Q[ueen's] reign, and had it not been for Lindsie, quho contrair to the Colonel's advise was very vigilant, the Castle had that night ben surprisd. He went about industriowsly all that night vewing carefully all the centry posts. He observed that there was a sentry wanting at that post next but one fo the postern gate he fownd him in confusion quhick mad him examin more neerly and under his feet he fownd the rops and cleeks of the scalding lethers and so he gave the alarme.

Some of these gentlemen with Major Aikeman their leader and a party of the town gwaird were in readyness upon the Justice Clerk's advertisment and salied out at the West Port upon the alarme from the Castle but quhat loss it was the garison and they were not in consorte, for they before the sentries wowld...[original text is incomplete.]" (News Letters of 1715-16, edited by A. Francis Steuart, Advocate, W&R Chambers, Edinburgh, 1910, pp. ix, 32-34) "In Edinburgh Castle, the government stored arms for up to 10,000 men and £100,000 paid to Scotland when she entered the Union with England. Lord Drummond [James Drummond, 3rd Duke of Perth], with 80 Jacobites, tried under the cover of night to take the Castle, using a ladder. However, the ladder proved to be too short," leaving them stranded until morning, at which point they were discovered and arrested. (O’Neill, Emma (23 September 2015).

| 2085 | Colin's birth is not certain. The name Colin is common among the Dalchonzie McNaughtans, so it seems reasonable to suggest that he came from this family and he matches the naming pattern for these particular parents. But documentary confirmation is still lacking. | McNaughtan, Colin (I10819)
|
| 2086 | Colin's name variously spelled Colin(g), Colling, Colin. Colin was a member of Rev. John Cuthbertson's Coventor Church as were Browns named Alexander and James whom I assume were his sons. There are several other Browns mentioned by Rev. John Cuthbertson. Colin and family owned land in Sadsbury Township which was a little East and South of Lancaster city. It remains in present day Lancaster Co. Salisbury Township is likewise an original township in present day Lancaster Co., just north of Sadsbury. Earl Township is just north of Salisbury. ---------------------------------------- Coling Brown Deceased IN THE NAM OF GOD A MEN the twelfth Day of October 1765 I Coling Brown of the Township of Sadesbury County of Lancaster and provence of Pensilvin being very weak in Body but of perfect mind and Memory thanks be given unto God therefore calling unto mind the mortality of my Body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die do make and ordain this my las Will and Testament that is to Say principally and first of all I Give and Recommend my Soul unto the Hands of Allmighty God that Gave it and my Body I recommend to the Earth to be buried in Decent Christian Burial at the discretion of my Executors nothing Doubting but at the General Resurection I shall receive the same Again by the mighty power of God and as touching such worldly Estate wherewith it has pleased God to Bles me with in this Life I give demise and dispose of the same in the following manner and form first I give and bequeath to Elender my Dearly beloved Wife wife the sum of six pounds Yearly and a Cow Keapt and two Sheep keept for her Likeways a horse to ride when shee ses Case While During Life if shee Remains in wodowhood and if not she is to have the Sume of thirty pounds paid to her in tow Galle if last of which is to be paid at the Eed of tow years after marege Lekways Shee is tothave the Third of the Hous al plenshing Likways Shee is thave Suffition hus rum while Remening in woehood Secendly I will and bequeath to my Ealdest Son Son John Brown now deceast ledgmettal heir Elender Brown when she come to the years of Eighteen (crossed out in original - ye Sum of thirdly I will and) twenty pounds and to the weedow of my decest Son one pound Likeways I will and bequath to my Seand Son Allexander Brown ye Sum of Five pounds Likways I will and bequeath to my Eldest Daughter marey Brown the Sum of five pounds Likeways I will and bequeath to my Daughter Ann Brown the Sum of Five Pounds all which sums I allow to be levied of my Estate and the Remender therof I will and bequeth bouth of Lands moneys Goods and Chattles to be divided equally between my Sons James Brown and David Brown Likways I constitute make and ordain my Sole Executrixs John Brown of the Township of Bart and John Walker of the Township of Sadsbery both in the County of Lancaster and province of Pensilvane of this my last Will and testament which will and Testament I ratify and Confirm as Witness my hand & Seal the Day and Year above written his Colling X Brown [seal] mark Sined & Sealed in the presents of Robert Baily Francis Baily LANCASTER COUNTY FS On the Eighth day of March Anno Domini 1770 Before me the Subscriber personally appeared Robert Baily one of the Subscribing Witnesses to the within Will and on his Corporal Oath did depose and Say that he was present and Saw and heard Colling Brown the Testator within named Sign Seal publish pronounce & declare the within writing as and for his last Will and Testament and understanding and that at the doing thereof he was of sound and well disposing posing mind menory and understanding to the best of his Knowledge Observation and belief and that the black line drawn through the words THIRDLY I WILL AND (underlined in original) were drawn before the signing & Sealing thereof.

Bart, Pa., 10 Mar. 1791, a. 72 (GS). quoted from:The Colonial Clergy of the Middle Colonies New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania 1628-1776 pg 202 BY FREDERICK LEWIS WEIS http://www.americanantiquarian.org/proceedings/44539283.pdf Rev. Cuthbertson was a Reformed Presbyterian minister who served in the regions of Adams, York, and Lancaster Counties. Most Presbyterians of this region belonged to the main branch of Colonial Presbyterianism as represented by the Synod of Philadelphia, but there was also a congregation of Reformed Presbyterians, or Covenantors. Rev. Dr. John Cuthbertson was sent from Scotland to minister to Scottish Covenantors in America in 1751, the first Reformed Presbyterian Missionary to come to America. He kept a diary from the date he arrived in America up to 1791. From his entries, we know that he married about 600 persons and baptized over 1,800 children. 'Register of Marriages and Baptisms performed by Rev. John Cuthbertson, 1751-1791,' by S. Hellen Fields, was originally printed in 1934, reprinted in 1983, by Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore. Fields states: 'Rev. John Cuthbertson rode many times to and from his home in Middle Octoraro, there being 72 trips recorded in his diary between the years 1751 and 1784.' Only those trips which refer to people were included in her work. Only those birth, deaths, and marriages which were performed in Lancaster County have been extracted and printed in Volume 3 of this work. The principal society of Mr. Cuthbertson was at Middle Octoraro from August 1751 to March 1783, when he was released by the Presbytery.3" --From "Church Records, Selected Areas of Pennsylvania, 1600s-1800s. His son, John Cuthbertson, was born in 1746 in Tyrone, Ulster, Ireland. This book explains the following on page vii: Rev. John Cuthbertson was born near Ayr, Ayrshire Scotland 3 April 1718. His parents were devout members of the persecuted Church of Scotland...Studied under Rev John McMillan who with Rev Thomas Nairin, a Ruling Elder, constituted the Reformed Presbytery of Scotland, which was organized in 1743. By this Court he was licensed on May 16, 1745, and ordained at Braehead on May 18, 1747, ministering to the Covenanters in Scotland. Baptisms solemnized by him in 1747 and 1748 are recorded on page 65 of the Register of Rev. John McMillan,(*) as edited by Rev. Henry Paton, M.A., of Scotland. In a footnote it mentions the that Doctor McMillan's Register listed Cuthbertsons, some of whom probably belonged to the immediate family of the Rev. John Cuthbertson. For example, at Braehead, Dec 17 1743, Alexander Kirkland and Elizabeth Cuthbertson, both in Kilmarnock parish, were married by Rev. John McMillan Coninuting on page vii of the Cuthbertson book: "While Moderator of this Presbytery, Doctor Cuthbertson was sent to minister to the scattered Coventanters in Ireland, but because of his earnest entreatries of the Scottish Covenanters in America for an Under Shepherd, he was sent to this country in 1751, the first Reformed Presbyterian Missionary to come to America." page x: "The Scottish Covenanters were to be found in the Cumberland Valley region as early as 1720. They settled principally along the Conococheague Creek; Pequea; Conestoga; Swatra; and other streams flowing from the east into the Susquehanna.This valley extends in a southerly direction from Harrisburg, pa., into Maryland and Virginia. It was the practice of the Covenanters to organize themselves, as in Scotland, into Societies or Correspondences among those living in the same general localities. These met annually or semi-anually as a Presbytery, known as "The General Meeting". Mr Cuthbertson presided over these meetings, usually held at Middle Octoraro, from 1751 until 1774, when the Reformed Presbytery of America was organized and Revs Matthew Linn and Alexander Dobbin took over some of his heavy responsibilities. The principal Society of Rev. John Cuthbertson was at the Middle Octoraro, Lancaster Co, Pa. At this place he bought a farm from "Josias Kerr" on January 24, 1757 (p. 142), about a year after his marriage to Miss Sally Moore, one of the daughters of Walter Moore, whose home was about fifteen miles from Philadelphia, on the Pennypack Creek. This farm is located about two miles from the stone church in which he often preached..." One of the previous ministers of the Middle Octorara Church, Rev. Alexander Craighead, was a staunch Covenanter in that area until about 1743 (he was suspended). He moved on to Windy Coce on Cow Pasture River, Augusta Co, Va in 1749 and then to Macklenburgh Co, N.C. (Source for more discussion see the Fulton-L archives for: Subject: James FULTON, Lancaster Co, PA, 1753 thru 1768 Dated 30 Aug 1998 15:42:37 When Rev John Cuthbertson came to America in 1751, he was accompanied by his sister, Janet Cuthbertson Bourns, and her husband, Archibald Bourns, of Lanark, Scotland, with their infant son John. Archibald Bourns settled soon after near what is now Fairfield, and was then Middletown, Adams County, Pennsylvania, on a farm presented to his sister by her brother. This farm is on the now historic Gettysburg Battlefield. Archibald Bourns was the second brother of William Burness, father of Robert Burns, the beloved Poet of Scotland. Another brother Thomas, emigrated to America from Scotland, and settled in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania in 1747." Now this Burns association raises my interest. In 1997, Florence and I visited the St Columba's Church in Stewarton, Scotland (just outside of Kilmarnock) because our gr-gr-gr-gr grandfather James Fulton and wife Nancy Cunningham had their marriage banns read there Dec 1773. In the cemetery, we found a tombstone for Robert Burns, the uncle of the poet. My James had written in his memoirs that he met the poet when he was a lad, and given the fact that the poet's uncle was in Stewarton, it seemed feasible. https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/list/fulton@rootsweb.com/thread/22642053/ | Brown, Colin (I1940)
