2101 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as a "late tenant of Auchatoo" and father of James, Patrick and Duncan, listed below. He is believed to be the Duncan Stewart who married on 24 JUN 1769 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Anna MCLAREN (described as "both in this parish"). They had the following children which match closely with the description in Stewarts of the South: Stewart, Duncan (I15943)
 
2102 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as a "tacksman of Ruinacraig, Strathyre, in Balquhidder on Cambusmore's estate" and having had one son who was a minor ca.1815-20.

In 1841, at age 60, Duncan Stewart was residing at Runacraig in Strathyre, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, with this wife and children. He was employed as a farmer.

In 1851, at age 76, Duncan Stewart was residing in Strathyre Village, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland as a widower with his children, Ann, Mary, and John. He was a retired farmer.

Duncan has not been found in 1861 and is presumed to have died.

No member of Duncan's family has been found in records after 1851. They may have all died young or emigrated.

Stewart, Duncan in Ruinacraig (I16033)
 
2103 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as a son of Allan Stewart in Doune. Stewart, Duncan (I15924)
 
2104 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as being "a crofter near Thornhill, [in] Kincardine Parish, [in] Perth county, [with] three sons" ca. 1815. Stewart, Duncan (I15762)
 
2105 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as being "lately" in Druimlich and thus he died before 1815. He is shown with two sons, David and Duncan. A descendant family tree shows Duncan as the son of Robert Stewart and Christian Stewart who married in 1728, and as having married in 1765 to Kathrine McLaren, and as having a son Duncan who was a 15-year-old weaving apprentice in Renfrew in 1795. From this information Duncan's family can be confirmed by OPR records. OPR baptism records indicate that Duncan was a miller in Invercarnaig, then a herd in Invernenty and finally residing in Druimlich. Stewart, Duncan in Drumlich (I16021)
 
2106 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as being a shoemaker in Campsie, Stirling, Scotland. Stewarts of the South mentions no children prior to 1815. Stewart, Duncan in Campsie (I15948)
 
2107 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as:
"Duncan Stewart, late tacksman of Clachglass, Glenbuckie, left two sons.
1. David Stewart, Moss laird, Summerline flanders moss. He has three sons, all at home.
2. Duncan Stewart, of Kirklind Flanders Moss, has four sons who are labourers about himself." 
Stewart, Duncan Sr. in Clachglas (I15949)
 
2108 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Alexander's grand child, Duncan, [is] now a gentleman tacksman of Glengaoil [in] Callander parish, rent £550. [He] has four sons [who are] all minors." Stewart, Duncan (I16020)
 
2109 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan Stewart [a] Tacksman [in] Auchnahard. One-eighth part of Glenfinglas. He has five sons.... He has other farms beside Glenfinglas." (It is not clear that the "he" refers to Duncan.) Mrs Stewart of Milton's account says of Duncan (her grandfather): "In Upper Dowart was Duncan Stewart and an Aunt. This Duncan had twelve of a family, two of whom died in infancy. His family were..." and then the document goes on to speak of each child in some detail. The 1851 census shows Duncan as a "grazier of Glenfinglas". Duncan lived to be 97 years old.
--------------------

Stirling Observer, obituaries, 1 Sep 1853 - On the 18th ult., at Glenfinglass, Mr. Duncan Stewart, farmer there, aged 97 years.

Duncan is mentioned in the Glasingall trial documents as follows:
"At Auchnahard, Glenfinglass in the Parish of Callander and County of Perth on 21st May 1851 in the presence of me Notary Public licenced and residing in Stirling
Compeared Duncan Stewart farmer in Auchnahard, Glenfinglass who solemnly declared as follows - that I am in my 96th year of age...." 
Stewart, Duncan in Auchnahard and Upper Duart (I15941)
 
2110 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan Stewart, [who is] a labourer in Glasgow [and has] a family of sons." He is recorded in the Port of Menteith OPR by his substitute name of "David" Stewart. Stewart, Duncan David (I16048)
 
2111 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan, a labourer to the Earl of Murray near Doune Lodge. [He has] four sons." There are only two Duncan Stewarts in the Kilmadock OPR in this time period. This Duncan is found residing nearby to Doune Lodge whereas the other Duncan resided in Doune and then moved to Glasgow. Thus it would seem certain that the family shown here belongs to the Duncan described in Stewarts of the South. Stewart, Duncan (I15781)
 
2112 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan, a shoemaker in Port Dundas at Glasgow. [He has] two sons." Stewart, Duncan (I15833)
 
2113 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan, master gardener with Mr Peel Member of Parlaiment [for] South Wales. He also superintends the farming and is a very clever active man. Few may be said to excel him. He is unmarried." Duncan is found marrying in Wales in 1819 afterwhich he moved to Stradsett, Norfolk, England where he remained for the rest of his life as a landed proprietor of a 150 acre farm. Stewart, Duncan (I15835)
 
2114 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan, the wright, a famous character [who] married against his inclinations [and] began drinking and died. [He] left no sons, but some daughters." Stewart, Duncan (I15808)
 
2115 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan, the youngest, [who is] a labourer at Crieff with a family [of] all minors." Stewart, Duncan (I15927)
 
2116 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan, [a] brother to James Stewart, [is a] tenant of Crochavie was tacksman of Lochend [in] Perth County, [in] Port [of Menteith] Parish, [on] Erskine of Cardross' [estate]. [Duncan is] a respectable farmer [and has] three sons [who are] under age. [He pays] £120 rent." This reference indicates that he was tacksman (intermediate landlord) of the property of Lochend, but that in 1815 he was residing on his brother Charles' property at Crochavie. Mitchell's MI's (cited below) would seem to indicate that Duncan did later move to Lochend and reside there as that is where he died.

Duncan is recorded in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Port of Menteith Cemetery: "46 (next to 45) Duncan STEWART died (at) Lochend 1828, wife Mary SANDS died 1857, seven children." He is buried with his wife and adjacent to his daughters Elizabeth and Jean/Jane, and his nephew Charles. This reference indicates that they had seven (surviving) children. As there are 11 births recorded for this couple then we must presume that four of their children died young. We know that daughters Elizabeth and Jean/Jane predeceased their parents. Whether they are included among the seven referenced on their parents' gravestone is unclear.

The fact that only one of the children of this family can be found in later census records may indicate that the remainder of the family emigrated. 
Stewart, Duncan in Lochend (I16032)
 
2117 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan, [a] tacksman of Kirkton [in] Balquhidder [on] Sir John M[urray] Macgregor's estate. [He is] a bachelor [and] a thrifty farmer [who pays] £250 rent."

Duncan is referred to in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Balquhidder Cemetery listed with his parents: "11a Duncan STEWART, tenant (in) Kirktoun (of Balquhidder), died OCT 1817, wife Janet FERGUSON died (at) Balmore, 19 DEC 1845, children Duncan, tenant in Balmore (aka Dallanlaggan) 30 SEP 1836." 
Stewart, Duncan in Balliemore (I16028)
 
2118 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Mr Duncan Stewart, late minister of Balquidder, [who was] of Strathgarry in Athol, left three sons: Alexander, a Captain to the Honourable East India Company, Duncan, a surgeon in London, Robert, the youngest, a Lieutenant in the same corps [as Alexander]."

Duncan is also mentioned in the following reference pertaining to David Stewart of Craig Roy: "David [Stewart of Craig Ruidh], by the extravagance of his wife, Betty, was under the necessity of enlisting as a single soldier, being but a simple good natured man and servant for seven years [to?] the late Revd Mr Maclaggan [of] Blair Athol in the 42d Regiment. After his return home rents were higher and his circumstances became more easy. And by his simplicity and short sight, he sold Wester Invernenty, Braes of Balquhidder, to the late Rev Mr Stewart whose son hath it yet also sold Blarchrich, Braes of Balquhidder, to the late worthy Capt Robert Fergusson of Stronvar. The Reverend Dunn [Duncan] Stewart bought Blarcroich from Capt R Fergusson's nephew, the present Provost of Cupar in Fife - which farms his estate with Wester Invernenty, Braes of Balquhidder, now the property of his son Capt Alexander Stewart of Strathgarry in Athol, of the East India Company. Mr Stewart, [the] minister, was called by many "covetous and greedy", [but] I thought this was not justice to his character. I believe he was a friendly and honourable gentleman. Many who slandered him would wish him back again."

Duncan is also described in the Fasti Ecclesia as: "Duncan Stewart, born 31st March 1747, eldest son of Alexander Stewart, minister of Blair-Atholl; educated at the University of St. Andrews; licensed by the Presbytery of Perth 21st Nov 1771; presented by John, Duke of Atholl, 20th May, and ordained 17th Sept 1772; died 12th Sept. 1804. He married 20th Feb 1778 to Arabella (died 12th July 1805), duaghter of Duncan Campbell of Auchline, and had issue -- Alexander of Strathgarry; Louisa, born 24th May 1780 (married Robert Kay, minister of Kinclaven); Duncan, M.D., born 14th March 1783; Robert, Major-General H.E.I.C.S., born 7th March 1787. Publication -- Account of the Parish (from Sinclair's Statistical Acoounts vi.)." 
Stewart, Rev. Duncan 4th of Strathgarry and Wester Invernenty Minister at Balquhidder (I15908)
 
2119 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "There was another cousin of his, a Duncan Stewart, who resided at Balfron, Stirlingshire as a cotton spinner, and who formerly lived at Bailechoalish [in] Appin [in] Argyleshire. [He] left two sons: the one a shoemaker, the other a tailor, who have both families - two sons each under age who now live in Balfron." Duncan is listed as one of four grandsons of Sean Rob: Robert, Robert, Duncan and John. The reference to "another cousin" refers to the first Robert, but does not indicate his relationship to the second Robert. Duncan could be either a cousin of both Roberts, or merely a cousin of the first Robert and a brother of the second Robert. The simpler relationship is preferred for now in the absence of other evidence. Stewart, Duncan (I15944)
 
2120 Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as:"Duncan Stewart, [a] tenant [in] Duart [in] Glenfinglas [in] Callander Parish [on the] Earl of Moray['s property] [is a] great-grandson to Duncan [McCallain]. [He has] the eight part of the tack [and pays] rent £111.2.6, as there is £60 of advance is put on the whole £140 for another farm in Port [of Menteith] parish [in] Perth county, called Duilatur. One son, [who is a] Buchanan barrack master [in] Fort William." However, Duncan was not old enough to have a son who was a barrack master.

Stewarts of the South is contradicted by The Ardvorlich History which says that Duncan was the great-grandson of Alastair Dubh nan Damh Stewart. These contradictions have not been reconciled. Duncan is also described in the Appendix of Stewarts of the South as: "Mr Duncan Stewart [Duart in Glenfinglas], of the Invernahyle family or Domhnul nan ord ("Donald of the Hammer"). A second cousin to the Glengyle tenant. £105. Keen, shrewd, sly and sensible."

Duncan is found in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions in Kilmahog Cemetery buried next his father and one of his grand parents; "42 Duncan STEWART, 15 OCT 1819, wife Christian STEWART, 11 JUN 1863, daughter Mary 8 MAY 1853, son James in Duart 18 JUN 1895, age 82. (Mitchell notes: MacGregor notes ?Christian STEWART was aunt to Mrs. Stewart in Milton.?)"

In 1851 Duncan's widow and her two sons are residing in Duart with Robert Stewart b 1816 in Balquhidder and Marjory Stewart, b 1833 in Balquhidder who are both employed as servants on Duncan's widow's farm. 
Stewart, Duncan in Duart (I16023)
 
2121 Duncan is found in 1841 residing in Stank with his 2nd wife and daughter Janet. He has not been found in any other census records and is presumed to have died or emigrated between 1841-1851. In 1851 his daughter Elisa is found residing in Stank with her uncle James Stewart. Elisa is shown as being born in Dalgety, Fife, Scotland, confirming that the Dalgety and Balquhidder births for the children shown here do indeed belong to the same family. Dalgety is believed to have been one of the properties of the Earl of Murray which may indicate that Duncan was employed by the Earl. Stewart, Duncan (I15922)
 
2122 Duncan is found in 1841 residing with his parents in Glasgow and employed as a journeyman iron moulder. He has not been confidently identified in later census records. Stewart, Duncan (I15932)
 
2123 Duncan is found in 1851 and 1861 residing with his parents.

Leo Lavarre's site mistakenly shows Duncan marrying Catharine Forbes and having children in Monzie with an eldest son named Joseph. However, the Crieff OPR shows this couple marrying 18 DEC 1863 in Crieff and with his parents given as Robert McNaughton and Mary Campbell and her father as Joseph Forbes, thus explaining the onomastic match. Furthermore this Duncan McNaughton is too young to have been the one marrying in Crieff. 
McNaughton, Duncan (I10777)
 
2124 Duncan is found in 1881 with his parents in Turnberry, Huron County, Ontario, Canada. He is found in 1891 with his parents in Douglas, Selkirk, Manitoba, Canada. In 1901 he was residing with his parents in Rhineland, Lisgar, Manitoba, Canada.

Duncal Lionel Stewart was born at Bluevale, Ontario in 1874. He came with his family to Winnipeg in 1882 where he finished his schooling . He and his brother Jack, homesteaded at Rosenfeld, Manitoba, in the late 1800's. Later he was in business until he moved to the Lena District in 1910.

While living at Rosenfeld, Mr Stewart married Mary Cecile Smirl of Tyner, N.D. They had six children, Marion (Mrs. Tom McMullen), Keith, Helen (Mrs. Harry Lovett) all of Killarney. Charlie (m.Annie Jones of Killarney) had three children, and now retired in Brandon, Neil (m Mary Sampson of Manitou), had four children and lives in Winnipeg. Jack (m Peggy Clark former of Killarney) had three children and reside in Vancouver.

Mr. Stewart purchased the S 1/2 34-1-17 adjacent to the village of Lena which he farmed until retiring to Killarney.

He was instrumental in building the Lena United Church and served for a number of years on the Lena School Board. Mr. Stewart helped form the Lena Pool Elevator Association of which he was secretary for many years. He was often appointed Returning Office at election time having leared the Mennonite language while living at Rosenfeld.

Mrs Stewart was active in community work, a member of the WMS at Lena and church organist for a number of years. She died in 1926 and Mr Stewart in 1956.

Lionel Keith Stewart was born in 1909 at Rosenfeld, son of Mr. and Mrs. D.L. Stewart. In 1910 the family moved to their Lena District farm. Keith attended Lena and Killarney Schools.

In 1941, Keith and Nina, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Pearen of Deloraine, were married.

Keith served 3 1/2 years in the R.C.A.F. during WW II. After the war Keith and Nina built their first home in Killarney. Keith was employed by the Turtle Mountain Municipality until in 1951, he became an employee of Anglo-Canadian Oils of Brandon, which later became the Gulf Oil Co. They resided in Brandon for 18 years, then returned to Killarney in 1973. From then Keith worked for Dalman Enterprises until retirement.

Nina taught school for several years and was always very active in Church, Sunday School, Community organizations, bowling and now in the Rebekah Lodge.

Keith was a member of the Oddfellows Lodge for 40 years. He is still an ardent curler. Both are United Church members.

One daughter, Irene May was born in 1945. She received her education in Brandon and trained in Winnipeg as an X-ray technician. Irene and Danny Ritchie of Winnipeg were married and now reside in Calgary. They have two children, Craig and Stacey.

Charlie Stewart was born May 12, 1912 in the Lena district, son of DL and Cecile Stewart. In March 1941, Charlie married Annie Jones from the Enterprise district. They rented his dad's farm and lived in Lena district for six years. Buying their own farm, they moved to the Bagot district in October 1947 where they farmed for many years, raising a family of two girls and one boy. Viola married Wayne Wilson, has two boys and one girl and lives in Bramalea Ontario. Len married Meeri Renwal, as two girls and lives in Victoria, BC. Betty married to Fred Kurbatoff has two boys and lives in Brandon.

Charlie and Annie have now retired and live in Brandon. They enjoy good health and are able to keep in touch with their friends and relatives in the districts where they grew up. (Viola Wilson) 
Stewart, Duncan Lionel (I16040)
 
2125 Duncan is mentioned in Stewarts of the South as being a son of minor age. Stewart, Duncan (I15799)
 
2126 Duncan is mentioned in the following document as having participated in the murders of Hugh and John Stewart in Balquhidder in December 1568: "Reg. Privy Seal. Vol.VI. No. 737. 8 Sept. 1569. Gift to Alexander Stewart in Pittareg of the escheat of numerous persons all from Balquhidder including Alexander Stewart in Gartnascrow and Andrew his son also Duncan Stewart his son, and Blak Alexander Stewart in Glenbuckie and Patrick his son, for the murder of Hugh and John Stewart, his brother, in the lands of Balquhider in December last [1568]".

Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, refers to the above document saying, "Duncan Stewart, is named with his father and brother, Andrew, in a gift of their escheat to Alexander Stewart in Pittarreg for the murder of Hugh Stewart and John Stewart his brother in December 1568, and is named as joint tenant of the half merklands of Glenbeich on 12 April 1569."

In a tack of Janet Stewart, Lady Ruthven, dated 12 Apr 1569, Duncan is listed as a tenant in Carnlea near Ardveich. It is possible that he may have had descendants who remained in the area, but there is no record of any surviving male line.

Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, suggests that Duncan may have been the father of Alexander Stewart, 1st in Glenogle (shown below as son of Robert), which is entirely possible. However, as Robert Stewart, Predecessor of Glenogle, would likely have had an eldest son named Alexander, and as the Glenogle line descends from Robert, then it makes more sense to attach Alexander Stewart, 1st in Glenogle to Robert rather than to Duncan McAlister. 
Stewart, Duncan MacAlasdair in Carnlea (I16015)
 
2127 Duncan is mentioned in the following reference in Stewarts of the South which pertains to his son, Alexander: "Alexander Stewart son to Duncan Stewart late tenant of ?Drunky, Port parish, Lordship of Menteith, now the property of Mr. Hunter in Edinburgh." Stewart, Duncan in Drunkie (I16022)
 
2128 Duncan is not confirmed to be of this family. IGI transcribes "Duncan McVrachater, son of John McVrachater and Janet Mc" from what is clearly an illegible entry. Given the surrounding entries, McNaughtan is by far the most obvious match. OPR yet to be consulted. McNaughtan, Duncan (I10633)
 
2129 Duncan is not found in any census records and is presumed to have died young. McNaughtan, Duncan (I10640)
 
2130 Duncan is not found in the 1851 census and is presumed to have died young. Stewart, Duncan (I15844)
 
2131 Duncan is not found with his birth family in 1841, but he could have been married and living elsewhere at the time. McNaughtan, Duncan (I10638)
 
2132 Duncan is not found with his parents in 1861 or 1871 and is presumed to have died in infancy. Stewart, Duncan (I15769)
 
2133 Duncan is not listed in Stewart Clan Magazine as one of the children of Charles Stewart and Polly Jones.

On 26 Jan 1832, Duncan entered into a business partnership with his brother Charles to share ownership and management of the family farm on behalf of their elderly father (who would have been 71). (See notes on brother Charles for details.)

On 8 July 1833, the agreement was ratified in front of witnesses to affirm the clauses of inheritance in the event of the death of one of the parties. This attestation was signed only by Charles Stewart Junr. Duncan's will was registered on 25 Aug 1833 and probated in September 1833, thus it would appear that Duncan in early September 1833.

Duncan is cited in a posthumous slave ad: "Stewart, Duncan (Dec'd owner) The property of Stewart "except his slaves and his cotton" was to be sold by his administrator, John Netterville, on November 7th at Stewart's late residence. (Wilkinson Republican 10 October 1835)

Stewart, Duncan A. (Planter) (I15793)
 
2134 Duncan is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South and is presumed to have died young. However, a matching Duncan Stewart born 1778 in Perthshire, Scotland, immigrated in 1810 (prior to the writing of Stewarts of the South) to Prince Edward Island, Canada. Stewart, Duncan (I15796)
 
2135 Duncan is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South and is presumed to have died young. However, the fact that Duncan and David were used as substitute names for each other may indicate that it was actually David who died young and this Duncan was the one who was a spirit dealer in Glasgow with two sons and Duncan was simply called "David" later in life. Stewart, Duncan (I15782)
 
2136 Duncan is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South and may have died young, or may simply have been unknown to the author of Stewarts of the South. Stewart, Duncan (I15800)
 
2137 Duncan is patriarch of Line 4 of the Lorachan Stewarts, Branch V of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie. Our current accounting for him matches chronologically and geographically, but not onomastically. It may be in error. He may be the son of John Stewart, brother of James mac Alasadair Stewart in Lorachan, or this Duncan may have had an earlier son named James not identified.

The Callander OPR records that James Steuart and Janet Mclean in Culinlogle had son born and baptized on 10 Apr 1719, named Duncan.

Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan Stewart, [a] late tacksman [at] Cuilanleogail [in] Callander parish [on the] Earl of Murray's estate. [He] left three sons." Duncan's wife and children as shown here are not verified. 
Stewart, Duncan in Coilantogle (I21668)
 
2138 Duncan is presumed to have died young prior to the birth of his same-named brother in 1769. Stewart, Duncan (I15807)
 
2139 Duncan is shown in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Brig o' Turk cemetery in reference to his son, James, as follows: "12 (at top - a pelican plucking its breast, on her nest) (in Latin) Katharine STEWART, 24 DEC 1735, husband James STEWART esquire of Tar (Mitchell notes: Duncan STEWART in Achray (sic "Auchrig"), feuer of Tar in Ruskie in 1754, son James succeeded him in 1784 and died before 1811 - son John, daughters Janet, Anne, etc, two wives)." As Duncan's son James is shown as succeeding Duncan in 1784 then it is presumed that Duncan died in 1784. Stewart, Duncan In Auchrig and of Tar (I15942)
 
2140 Duncan is shown in the Kilmadock OPR as born in 1672 in Ballachallan. He is not mentioned by Duncan Stewart (1739). MacGregor reports that Duncan "died young". Stewart, Duncan (I15739)
 
2141 Duncan is suggested as a younger son of Duncan MacRobert Stewart, 3rd in Glenogle. The birth of Duncan Stewart in Monachyle is nowhere documented and his placement here represents our considered opinion of the most likely connection based on current evidence. Duncan is first recorded in the 1622 Bond: "Bond by Alexander Stewart in Ardvorlich, James Stewart, his eldest son, Alexander Stewart in Portnellan, Andrew Stewart of Blairgarrie, Duncan Stewart in Monochyle, Alexander Stewart in Glenogle, John Dow Stewart in Glenfinglas and Walter Stewart his brother german, for all their kin in Strathgartney and Balquhidder, to William, earl of Menteith. Dated in January of 1622." The Monachyle branch are recorded in Stewarts of the South as being the senior (surviving) branch of the Glenogle Stewarts. We know from above that the main stem of Glenogle died out with John Stewart of Hyndfield, thus the Monachyle branch must be second in seniority. Therefore Duncan Stewart must branch off from the main Glenogle stem early enough to be an adult in 1622, but he must also descend from Robert Stewart, Predecessor of Glenogle. As we know that Robert Stewart, Predecessor of Glenogle, already had a son named Duncan McRobert Stewart, then Duncan in Monachyle is most likely a son of Duncan McRobert Stewart, 3rd in Glenogle. Stewart, Duncan 2nd in Monachyle (I15940)
 
2142 Duncan John Stewart Browne (1855-1938) was named for Agnes’ father. He worked mostly in banks and insurance companies in Scotland and Canada, where in 1876 he married Jane Eliza “Jennie” Harris (1858-1936) at Napier, Middlesex County, Ontario. He worked in Montreal, Quebec, Canada; Boston, Suffolk Co, Massachusetts, USA; and New York City, New York, USA. He was responsible for helping employ his younger brothers, Hugh and Alexander, and their immigration to America. Professionally, he was called Stewart Browne and sat on the Boards of Directors at several banks and insurance companies in New York City. He was also founder of Broadway Building Co, and engaged in some controversial real estate investments. Stewart was a world traveller who was an automobile enthusiast.

Browne, Duncan John Stewart (I25280)
 
2143 Duncan McLaren is described in his testament as being a joint tenant in Ardveich and Derry. He refers to himself as Duncan McLaren Sr. He was residing in Derry at the time of his death. Derry is located on the north shore of Loch Earn in Comrie parish, Perthshire, Scotland. He names Samuel McLaren, teacher in St. Fillans, John McEwan, farmer at Castran, and Duncan McLaren Jr. in Derry, his only surviving lawful son, as trustees. Duncan Jr. was single at the time of writing the testament. He names his wife, Margaret McIntyre, still alive and his surviving daughters as Mary McLaren, spouse to Peter Robertson at Woodhouse in Glentarken, Grizzel or Grace McLaren, wife of Hugh McBeath, labourer at Gart near Callander, and Margaret McLaren, wife of Duncan McNaughton, shepherd in Glenlyon, and provides allowances and portions for each of them. The primary residue of his estate goes to his son, Duncan, Jr. The testament was dated 25 Nov 1851 at Derry and witnessed by Finlay McEwan, shepherd at Dalveich, John McEwan, farmer at Dalveich, He died 14 Jan 1860 at Derry. Disposition 1 Mar 1860.
Upon his death, Samuel McLaren in St. Fillans (his brother) and John McEwan at Castran (his brother-in-law), executors, took charge of the estate (as Duncan Jr was still a minor).

In 1841, at age 60, he was residing at Derry, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and children, John, Grizzel, Margaret, Catherine and Duncan, along with his 1 year old granddaughter Susanna Robertson, and servants Nicol McLaren (35) and Duncan McIntyre (20). The latter two could be nephews.

In 1851, Duncan McLaren was residing at Derry with his wife and son Daniel. He was employed as a grazier of about 1/2 of 1700 acres of hill portion, employing 5 persons.

Duncan was predeceased by 5 of his 9 children.

2144 Duncan McLaren Jr was recorded in his father's will in 1851 as being his father's only surviving son.

In the1851 census, at the age of 17, Duncan Jr. was residing with his parents at Derry, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, where he was employed as a farm servant.

Ancestry has incorrectly transcribed his name as "Dan" in the 1851 census. There is no birth record for a son named Dan, Daniel, or Donald for this family in the Comrie OPR.

In 1861, at age 27, Duncan McLaren Jr was residing at Wester Glentarken, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife Margaret and newborn son Duncan (III). He is recorded as a farmer of 1200 acres with 4 employees. This is likely actually the Derry farm where he was found in 1841, 1851, and 1871, and was incorrectly recorded as Wester Glentarken by the census enumerator. Wester Glentarken is adjacent to Derry.

In 1871, at age 37, Duncan McLaren was residing at Derry, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. He was employed as a farmer of illegible acres. He was living with his wife and children.

In 1881, at age 47, Duncan McLaren was residing at Letter, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, employed as a former farmer, living with his wife and children.

2145 Duncan McNab is listed in Statistics from the Annexed Estates for Western Strathearn (1755-56) as residing in Easter Glentarken. McNab, Duncan in Easter Glentarken (I22211)
 
2146 Duncan McNaughtan and Elizabeth McNab lived in Morell in the parish of Comrie in Perthshire, Scotland. Duncan was an elder in the Comrie Church. They appear to have not followed the traditional Scottish naming custom with their children, which suggests that one or the other of them may have been previously married, or that a first-born daughter, named Rachel, was not recorded and may not have survived. Or, they simply did not follow the tradition. McNaughtan, Duncan (I10627)
 
2147 Duncan McNaughton, d 23 MAR 1898, age 63 years, Kent County, farmer, born Scotland, Presbyterian, informant: Alex McNaughton. McNaughton, Duncan (I10776)
 
2148 Duncan presumably died prior to the birth of his same-named brother in 1834. McLaren, Duncan (I25588)
 
2149 Duncan Stewart (1739) indicates that Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie, married a daughter of Campbell of Ardkinglas. As she is not named, and given the ambiguity of dates it is difficult to determin if her father was Colin Campbell, 5th of Ardkinglas, or his son, thought to be James. Campbell, Daughter of Ardkinglas (I2167)
 
2150 Duncan Stewart (1739) indicates that Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbucky had a daughter who married Andrew Stewart, "predecessor of Gartnafuaran." This would be chronologically challenging as they are two generations separated (Duncan wrongly accounted for the Gartnafuaran family origins), however she could easily be the wife of Andrew Stewart, 3rd of Gartnafuaran as we show here. (MacGregor concurs.) There is no indication as to which mother this daughter belonged to as her father was married twice. We have attached her to the first marriage, but this is undertain. Stewart, Daughter of Glenbuckie (I15600)
