|
| 2403 | Dugald is the progenitor of the Stewarts of Appin. Dugald was originally born illegitimately as the product of an affair between his parents while his father, the Lord of Lorn, was already married. When his father and mother were later married, John, Lord of Lorn, was attacked by enemies at his wedding and mortally wounded. The wedding was later concluded before John died of his injuries and Dugald legitimated. (See notes on father for more information.) Dugald gathered all the adherents of the Lord of Lorn and with the assistance of the MacLarens laid siege to Dunstaffnage, but to no avail. Unbeknownst to Dugald, Colin Campbell, Lord Argyll who seemed to have been involved in the plot, raised a group of MacFarlanes to aid MacCoul in his struggle against the de jure Lord of Lorn. MacCoul's men with the MacFarlanes met the men of Lorn and MacLaren in what was to be known as the battle of Leac a dotha. It was a fierce battle with both sides leaving the field with very heavy losses. For the next few years Dugald, who had lost the title of Lord of Lorn through the treachery of his uncle Walter Stewart and Lord Argyll, but had retained Appin and Lismore, consolidated his power and fortified the hunting lodge of castle Stalker on the Cormant's Rock in Loch Laich. He also ensured that the Campbells were in no doubt about his displeasure over the loss of the Lordship of Lorn by having the Campbell territory surrounding Appin regularly raided by our clan. Finally in 1468 in a bid to finally destroy the power of Appin, Colin Campbell and Walter Stewart, now recognized as the Lord of Lorn (but with no authority in Lorn) organized a massive raid against Dugald and our clan. Alan MacCoul was again involved and they met at what was to be know as the battle of Stalc. Though loosing many men, Dugald virtually destroyed the military strength of the MacFarlands (a destruction they were never to recover from) and personally killed Alan MacCoul, his father's murderer. The battle solidified Dugald's claim to Appin and the surrounding area which was formally granted to him by King James III on the 14th of April 1470. Our clan was born.

| 2404 | Dugald was alive in 1656. He purchased from Campbell of Lawers the lands of Innishchaorach, Duaireachan and Innishdainh in Glenlochy, Breadalbane. "DOUGAL STEWART OF INCHERICH, acquired the half lands of Duncrosk called Incherich, in Glen Lochay, near Killin, in Perthshire, from Sir James Campbell of Lawers, by Disposition dated 1 October 1656, and in which he is styled as son of the deceased Duncan Stewart of Invernahyle. He m. firstly, Agnes, sister of James Burdon of Easter Feddall, by whom he had issue. He is said to have m. secondly, to the widow of John Stewart of Sheirglass, by whom he had further issue but there is no evidence for that. He d. before 6 February 1680" (Gordon MacGregor, Red Book of Scotland) | Stewart, Dugald 1st of Innischaoraich (I15364)

| 2407 | Duncan is not named in the family bible and is presumed to have died in infancy. The following is also from the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856):: "Certified copy of what is written in the family bible Lendrick 1756 that I bought this [presumably referring to the bible] for 4 pounds Scots money out of Glasgow written and signed by me Archibald Stewart. On account of my age and when the year of God I was born 1712 and married in year of God 1737 and Margaret was born in the year of God 1739 and was married in February 1763. So, Isabel was born in August 1741 and Archibald was born in November 1749 and Donald was born about the 1st of August 1757 On account when my father and mother dyed [died], my father dyed the year of God 1740 and was buried in his own spulcher [sepulchre], and my mother dyed the year of God," | Stewart, Duncan (I15577)

| 2408 | Duncan and his brother Charles were twins. They were 17 years old when their father died. In 1763, Duncan's uncle, Patrick Stewart, dictated a detailed family tree, which was subsequently added to by by Dr. James Caraway in 1789, in which Duncan is described as: "Duncan married Penelope Jones, daughter of Tignal Jones, of North Carolina, near Raleigh, by whom she had William, who died a child; Jones, now living near Woodville, State of Mississippi; Elizabeth married to Col. Hambleton, late of the United States army; Catherine married to Henry Cage, living near Woodville, Miss., and James now at Cumberland College at Nashville." Duncan Stewart was the proprietor of Holly Grove Plantation, Centreville, Wilkinson County, Mississippi, USA. From Wikipedia: "Duncan Stewart (January 16, 1761 - November 26, 1820) was a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, slave owner, frontiersman, and politician. He holds the very rare distinction of having served three separate states state legislatures over his life, in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Mississippi. "Duncan Stewart was born January 16, 1761. He was the son of William Stewart, a Scottish immigrant. His mother was Janet Stewart, nee McDougal. He was a twin to his brother, James Stewart. "During the American Revolution, Duncan Stewart entered the Continental Army as a private, eventually being promoted to the rank of colonel of North Carolina troops. "Duncan was married to Penelope Jones. Their children were, William, who died in infancy; Tignal J. (1800-1855), a member of the Mississippi Legislature who married Sarah, a daughter of Judge Peter Randolph; James A. (1811-1883), who married Juliana, another daughter of Judge Randolph; Charles Duncan (1812/3-1886), a planter who married a daughter of U. S. Senator John Black; Catherine (1804-1829), who married Judge Harry Cage; and Eliza (died 1870), who married Colonel W. S. Hamilton and was the mother of State Senator Jones S. Hamilton. "In the early 1790s he represented Bladen County, North Carolina in the North Carolina General Assembly. From 1790 to 1792, he represented Bladen County in the House of Commons (then the name of the state House of Representatives), and in the State Senate from 1793 to 1794. "After he moved to Tennessee, he served as Tennessee state senator for the fourth, fifth, and sixth General Assemblies. He represented Montgomery and Robertson Counties fourth and fifth General Assemblies, and he represented Montgomery, Robertson, Dickson, and Stewart Counties in the sixth General Assembly. Stewart County was carved out from the western part of Montgomery County, and is named after him. It was formed on November 3, 1803. "In 1811, he moved to Woodville, Mississippi where he began cotton farming. After Mississippi achieved statehood, he was elected both as a Mississippi state senator and as the inaugural Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi. He was elected President Pro Tempore of the Mississippi Senate. Alongside Governor David Holmes, Stewart served as Lieutenant Governor from October 7, 1817 to January 5, 1820. "In 1812, he had Holly Grove built. "Duncan Stewart died on November 26, 1820, at his plantation home, and was buried next to his twin brother James. The two are buried at the Stewart Two cemetery with four other people out in the woods in southern Mississippi." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Stewart_(Mississippi_politician) In 1820, Duncan was residing in Woodville, Wilkinson, Mississippi, USA, where he owned 80 slaves. In a 1936 article, Stewart Clan Magazine says: "Col. Duncan Stewart was a son of William Stewart by his first marriage. He refused to spell his name Stuart as his brother Patrick did. He entered the Revolutionary army as a private and was promoted to the rank of colonel. [He was probably the Duncan Stewart+ who was granted land at Beaver Dam, Bladen County, N.C., in 1791.] In 1797 or thereabout Duncan and his brother James went to Tennessee and settled at Clarksville, Montgomery county. Duncan married Penelope Jones, daughter of Col. Tegrial Jones of that state. He was very wealthy, and was a member of the Tennessee legislature. In 1803 part of Montgomery county was set off and named Stewart county in his honor.++ Col. Stewart removed about 1808 to Mississippi and established the Stewart plantation in Wilkinson county. He became surveyor general and later lieutenant-governor of Mississippi. Children: William: died in infancy; Catherine: m. Judge Harry Cage : d.1829; Tegrial Jones, 1800: m. Sarah A. Randolph : d.1855; Eliza: m. Col. W. S. Hamilton : d.1870; James A.,1811: m. Julianna Randolph, sister of Sarah : d.1883; Charles Duncan: m. Julia Black : father of John Black Stewart, author." --- + Duncan Stewart, esq., 3-0-6 [shown in 1790 census with 3 males over 16, 0 males under 16 and 6 females], with 30 slaves, was enumerated in New Hanover County, N.C., in 1790. ++ Note by Mrs. Harold Weaver of Edmondson, Ark., descendant of William Stewart of Virginia, --B:286. (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome C, August 1936, vol. xiv, no. 2, p.189.) --- In a later 1957 article, Stewart Clan Magazine says: "Duncan Stewart, born about 1752 probably in Sampson [then Duplin] County, North Carolina, was named, with his mother Janette and David Bailey, executor of his father's will, dated Aug. 22, 1778, and, with his brothers James and Charles, was given tracts of land in New Hanover, Sampson and Bladen counties. "He was sympathetic to the colonial cause during the Revolution," a descendant told a writer for MEMOIR OF MISSISSIPPI, 1891. He was of Bladen County when he bought Mar. 28, 1787, of Griffith Jones White, for 600 pounds, 350 acres of land on the northeast side of the northwest branch of Cape Fear river in Bladen county. In the census of 1790 Duncan Stewart, esq., 3-0-6 (3m>16, 0m<16, 6f), was enumerated in New Hanover county, owning thirty Negroes. This might mean that his brothers James and Charles, both over 16 years of age, and his mother and five sisters were members of his household. "In 1791 he was granted land on Beaverdam Swamp in Bladen [Columbus] County, and also on South river. He deeded Oct. 7, 1795, to Ever Currie of New Hanover County, for 20 pounds, 150 acres of land on Little Coharie Creek in Sampson County, which he had bought Mar. 25, 1795, of Lewis Williamson, witnesses to the deed being James Stewart and Alexander Currie. "Duncan Stewart married in Wake County -- probably at Raleigh -- Penelope Jones, the marriage bond being signed Oct. 19, 1797, with John Haywood as fellow bondsman. Penelope was a daughter of Tingnall Jones, a wealthy land-owner. "Duncan and his brother James emigrated to Tennessee about 1797 and settled at Clarksville, Montgomery county," a descendant related. He became a historic figure, and further account of him and his descendants would be superfluous. He was colonel of militia, a member of the Tennessee state legislature and a very wealthy planter. Stewart county, formed from the western part of Montgomery County in 1804, was named in honor of Col. Duncan Stewart. After his removal to Wilkinson (taken in 1802 from Adams) County, Mississippi, about 1810 he became a leading figure in the territory, surveyor general and lieutenant governor. For data of his family see Stewart Clan Magazine, C:189. (above) ---------------- * TERRITORIAL PAPERS OF THE UNITED STATES -- MISSISSIPPI, Mississippi included Alabama. + Olds' NORTH CAROLINA WILLS, 1760-1800, gave this will as having been probated in Jones County, but that is a mistake. Like other blunders, it will worry searchers for years and years. ++ The fact that James Stewart, son of Charles and Hannah (Kirk) Stewart of Wake (in the part formerly Cumberland) county, married Elizabeth Matthews opens a field of conjecture. (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, March 1957, vol. 34, no. 9, pp.189-192):\\ ------------- The Stewart County Standard says: "Duncan Stewart, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, traveled across the Smokey Mountains into middle Tennessee in 1794 - two years before TN actually became a state. Many former Revolutionary soldiers were paid for their service to the country by being awarded 640 acres of land by state governments. North Carolina, at the time owned all land to the Mississippi River, including our county. They paid many of their soldiers' with tracts of land in the new frontier for their service. Stewart and brother Charles, eager to come West, bought land from soldiers who wished to remain in the Tar-Heel state. At one time, Duncan owned over 30,000 acres in middle TN. He lived in Montgomery and Stewart Counties while he surveyed and helped settle the frontier. Duncan built a fort, called Stewart Station, close to Wells Creek in the southern part of Stewart Co., in what is now Houston Co. The following is a letter from his brother Charles Stewart about life on the frontier: "Duncan and myself left that country (North Carolina) and located ourselves in then a territory, now the state of Tennessee. There, we soon got an appointment as surveyors...We have encountered all the hardships that could be conceived from the Indians who were at open war with us...In 1796, we got a peace with the Indians...In 1797, we returned to North Carolina and took wives...we then moved back to Tennessee, a distance of 700 miles away...We subsidized our families out of the woods with our guns and feasted our delicately raised wives with the flesh of bear, buffalo, deer and wild turkey...They never complained." "While some people might be discouraged to stay on the edge of the wilderness, Duncan continued to buy and sell land throughout middle Tennessee. Some of the land sales have been found in the Stewart County Archives. Through the use of the Archives, Stewart County Library and the Stewart County Historical Society and their museum, many Stewart County residents are researching their past. At the recent Literacy Night at Stewart County High School, many Stewart County students learned how Stewart County got its name. In 1801, Duncan was a state senator, serving Robertson and Montgomery counties. In 1803, with a lot of people moving into the western part of Montgomery County, the state decided these residents had too far to travel to conduct business in Clarksville. They decided to split off the western part of Montgomery County and form a new county - and they named it Stewart County, after Duncan. So our county was formed on November 3, 1803. The town seat was named Monroe after (future president) James Monroe. But two years later, the citizens voted to rename the town Dover, because the high bluffs reminded many of the townspeople of similar bluffs in Dover, England. As more and more people moved into Middle TN., Duncan began to feel over crowded...he was hearing of a new frontier open for settlement in southern Mississippi. In 1811, he moved to Woodville, Mississippi, and started cotton farming. Most of his family (wife, kids, siblings) all moved south, except his twin brother James. As James' health started to fail, he decided to move from Clarksville to Mississippi in 1818. Duncan and James had always promised to be buried in the same cemetery. So James, knowing the time was near, had quite the elaborative sendoff in front of his Clarksville friends. He invited them all to the pier for his goodbye, complete with music and food. He placed his belongings on a boat, and to the surprise of many, workers loaded a substantial coffin on the boat also. A local preacher, possibly the Elder Reuben Ross, then preached brother James' funeral - while James sat on his coffin listening. It took years before the citizens of Clarksville ceased talking about this strange transaction...When James arrived in southern Mississippi, he found Duncan to be a rich man, living on a large plantation and also Lieutenant-Governor in the state. James didn't live long after he made the trip and was buried in a spot he picked out on a hill a mile from Duncan's house. Duncan was very successful and well liked in all three states...a Revolutionary War veteran in North Carolina, a frontiersman and trailblazer in middle Tennessee and a business man and politician in Mississippi. Duncan had six kids with his wife Penelope and his plantation home in southern Mississippi, (Holly Grove) is still standing today and is on the National Register of Historical Places. One side note, many people remember the movie Braveheart, with William Wallace (Mel Gibson). At the end of the movie, the Scottish king, Robert the Bruce, led the Scottish troops against the King of England. The Scots were victorious and Robert the Bruce became king of Scotland. Robert the Bruce was Duncan Stewart's ancestor. (Say the word great 14 times, then grandfather and you get the idea.) In closing, Duncan Stewart passed away on November 27, 1820, at his plantation home. He chose to honor his 50-year-old agreement to be buried next to his twin brother James. The two are buried at the Stewart Two cemetery with four other people out in the woods in southern Mississippi.

| 2409 | Duncan became heir to Glenbuckie when his oldest brother, Patrick Stewart, gave up his right to Glenbuckie in favour of the property of Ledcreich. As Duncan's son, John Dubh Beag, was later recorded as being "of Ledcreich" when he helped clear the MacGregors from Glenfinglas, that may indicate that the exchange of lands occurred later in his life. Stewarts of the South erroneously accounts Duncan as "9th of Glenbuckie." This is a mistaken reading of Duncan Stewart (1739) which shows Duncan as "IX Duncan" in reference to him being 9th generation in descent from James Beag Stewart, 1st of Baldorran and Balquhidder. Duncan Stewart (1739) says "Duncan, son to Alexander Stewart in Glenbuckie, married first, ___ Campbell of the family of Ardkinglass, secondly, he married Katharine MacGrigor, grand-daughter to Dougal Keir MacGrigor, Predecessor to Innerlochlarig and Glengyle, said to be the last cadet of the Laird of MacGrigor, and had issue: 1 John, 2 Walter, 3 Duncan, 4 Patrick, 5 John Beg, and 6 Alexander." The Ardvorlich History records that before 1580 Duncan Stewart, son of Black Alexander of Glenbuckie, was appointed as Deputy Royal Forester in Glenfinglas. The Royal Forester at the time was John Stewart, Constable of Doune. In 1586 the following people were all included in a bond of manrent to Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy, for the murder of John MacOlchallum Comrie. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland).

| 2414 | Duncan Ferguson was a labourer in the village of Thornhill, Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, and deadbeat father. He had an illegitimate son with Mary Stewart in 1852 and refused to pay support for the child. Mary had to pursue him through the courts for a year, and even then the court had to threaten Duncan with arrest if he didn't pay. (See Mary's notes for full details.) | Ferguson, Duncan (I27264)
|
| 2415 | Duncan Ferguson was born about 1818-1820 somewhere in Scotland. His birth family has not been identified. He is incorrectly recorded in multiple online genealogies as born 13 Jan 1816 in the Village of Strathyre, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland as the son of John Ferguson and Mary McIntyre. That birth is impossible unless he was a bigamist. Nor did he died on 30 Nov 1885 in Smiths Falls, Lanark, Ontario, Canada. Nor did he marry secondly to Maria Willoughby after his wife Janet died. Duncan Ferguson married on 6 Jun 1845 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland and emigrated shortly afterwards to Canada where he settled in Admaston, Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada. Duncan Ferguson has not been found in the 1851 census In 1861, at age 43, Duncan Ferguson was residing in Admaston, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada, with his wife Janet and their young children. Duncan was employed as a farmer. Duncan was employed as a farmer and was a Presbyterian. On 14 Feb 1867, Duncan's wife, Janet Ferguson, died in Admaston, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada. In 1871, at age 51, Duncan Ferguson was residing in Admaston, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada, with his children. He was listed as a widower and a Presbyterian and was employed as a farmer. Duncan Ferguson has not been identified in the 1881 or later census records. He may have died between 1871-1881. His exact date of death has not been identified. The other Duncan Ferguson was born 13 Jan 1816 in the Village of Strathyre, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland as the son of John Ferguson and Mary McIntyre and died on 30 Nov 1885 in Smiths Falls, Lanark, Ontario, Canada. He married sometime prior to 1851 to Maria Willoughby. In 1851, they were residing together in Beckwith Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada with no children. They were residing next door to his brother Colin Ferguson and are found on the same page of the census together. This is over 100 km away from Duncan Ferguson in Admaston. Also, in 1861, this second Duncan Ferguson was residing in Smiths Falls, Lanark, Ontario, Canada, just 10 km south of Beckwith, while the Duncan Ferguson above was residing 100 km away in Admaston with his wife and children. In 1866, this second Duncan Ferguson's father, John Ferguson, residing in Montague, Lanark, Ontario, Canada, lists his son as "Duncan A Ferguson" in Smiths Falls, amongst his heirs and exectors. Montague is 5 km east of Smiths Falls. In 1871, this second Duncan A Ferguson was residing in Smiths Falls with his wife Maria, while the first Duncan Ferguson was a widower in Admaston over 100 km away. Unless Duncan Ferguson was a bigamist living in two separate places over 100 km apart, then these must be two different Duncan Fergusons. | Ferguson, Duncan (I32116)

| 2418 | Duncan Fisher was born in 1850 in Ballimore (also known as Dallanlaggan) in Glen Buckie in Balquhidder parish, Perthshire, Scotland. Three months after his birth, his father was tragically killed falling from his horse. He was raised by his widowed mother and his great-aunts, Maggie, Katie and Kristy Stewart. In 1851, at age 9 months, Duncan was residing at Dallanlaggan (Balimore) in Glenbuckie, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland with his widowed mother and the following other persons: Christian Fisher 27 (Head) Duncan Fisher 9 Mo (son) Margaret Stewart 70 (aunt) Catharine Stewart 68 (aunt) Christian Stewart 60 (aunt) John Mcgregor 30 (brother) Duncan Mcintyre 27 (servant) John McMaster 25 (servant) Margaret Mcgregor 18 (servant) In 1861, at age 10, Duncan Fisher was residing in Glenbuckie, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland with his widowed mother and the following other persons: Christian Fisher 36 Duncan Fisher 10 Margt Mcfarlan 13 Margt Steuart 87 Catherine Steuart 79 Christian Steuart 71 John Mcgregor 40 Malcolm McNie 46 Donald Campbell 22 Mary Mcintyre 15 John McKeracher 20 In 1871, at age 20, Duncan Fisher was residing in Balimore, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, with his grand-aunt. He was employed as a farmer of 2000 acres, or which 23 were arable. Duncan Fisher 20 Christian Stewart 81 Margaret Campbell 24 Robert Ferguson 22 In 1881, at age 30, Duncan Fisher was residing in Balimore, Glenbuckie, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland with his wife and two children. He was employed as a farmer of 2000 acres. Duncan is listed in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions: In Affectionate Remembrance of Duncan Fisher, Farmer, Balimore 5.7.1858 - 23.1.1899. Also His Infant Son John 18.12.1877 - 1.2.1878. Also His Beloved Wife Jane Stewart D. At Edra, Trossachs 19.12.1934. Also Bessie Miller Macrosty Wife of Robert S. Fisher D.

| 2419 | Duncan Galloch is believed to be the son of Duncan Galloch, but this is not verified. | Galloch, Duncan (I6247)
|
| 2420 | Duncan has not been found in later records. | Stewart, Duncan (I15217)
|
| 2421 | Duncan I was known as "the Gracious". He became King of Strathclyde in 1018 and King of Scotland in 1034. He was the first sovereign of the House of Dunkeld, named after his father's abbey. | MacCrinan, Duncan King of Scotland (I8730)
|
| 2422 | Duncan immigrated with his parents and siblings in 1831 from Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Caledon, Peel, Ontario, Canada. | Cameron, Duncan (I22089)
|
| 2423 | Duncan is descended from the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran by an as yet unconfirmed connection. He is suggested as possibly being the son of Alexander Dubh Oig Stewart. Duncan is recorded in the Edward S. Gray Papers as being the father of Alexander Stewart who married Janet Stewart in Gartnafuaran. Chronology would suggest that Duncan was older than Sean Rob (below) and that he was thus first in line to inherit Duart. This would explain his presence in Duart as mentioned in the Edward S. Gray papers. The fact that Duncan may have been the patriarch of a short-lived senior line in Duart, but not mentioned in Stewarts of the South, would present a reasonable explanation as to why Sean Rob and his brother James were residing in Wester Invernenty until the early 18th century and did not reside in Duart and Grodich until (likely) sometime after 1707. To try to account for Duncan as descending from an earlier branch would require that he be a sub-tenant in Duart under Alexander Dubh Oig Stewart and would require a more convoluted arrangement and would not account for the late arrival of Sean Rob in Duart. | Stewart, Duncan (I15543)
|
| 2424 | Duncan is described as "servitor to the miller of Edinample" at the birth of his illegitimate daughter Margaret. Duncan's marriage to Janet McAllum states that they were contracted on 14 MAR 1737 and "married upon Tuesday about 4 in the afternoon on 5 of April 1737." This is an unusual entry in the Balquhidder OPR and appears to be the only entry with such a specific marriage time. | Stewart, Duncan Roy (I15789)
|
| 2425 | Duncan is described in family tradition as a Jacobite soldier who fought at Culloden in 1746 and as a younger brother of James (Seamas na Coille). But, again here, it is suggested that family tradition is off by one generation and that he is more likely to be the younger brother of James, 1st in Cuill. | Stewart, Duncan (I15555)
|
| 2426 | Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as "a clark to the Iron Company at Muirkirk, all their children under age." | Stewart, Duncan (I15553)
|
| 2427 | 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 children shown here which match closely with the description in Stewarts of the South. | Stewart, Duncan (I15528)
|
| 2428 | 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. On 7 Jul 1857, at age 82, Duncan Stewart, son of Robert Stewart and Agnes McNab, died at Immereach, Strathyre, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. His son, Robert Stewart, was the informant. 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. ---- Census 1841 - Runacraig, Balquhidder, Perthshire Duncan Stewart 60 ; b. 1781 Perthshire ; Farmer Margret Stewart 50 ; b. 1791 Perthshire Robert Stewart 25 ; b. 1816 Perthshire John Stewart 15 ; b. 1826 Perthshire Daniel Stewart 10 ; b. 1831 Perthshire Mary Stewart 20 ; 1821 Perthshire Agnus Stewart 20 ; 1821 Perthshire Census 1851 - Strathyre Vill, Balquhidder, Perthshire Duncan Stewart (Head) 76 ; b. 1775 Balquhidder, perthshire ; Retired Farmer Ann Stewart (Daughter) 39 ; b. 1812 Balquhidder, perthshire Mary Stewart (Daughter) 35 ; b. 1816 Balquhidder, perthshire John Stewart (Son) 30 ; b. 1821 Balquhidder, perthshire | Stewart, Duncan in Ruinacraig (I15506)
|
| 2429 | Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as a son of Allan Stewart in Doune. | Stewart, Duncan (I15210)
|
| 2430 | 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 in Thornhill (I15573)
|
| 2431 | 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 Monumental Inscriptions (cited below) would seem to indicate that Duncan did later move to Lochend and reside there as that is where he died. Duncan Stewart is mentioned in Stewarts of the South Appendix as: "I forgot to mention to you that Charles Stewart, [the] saddler in Buchlive (sic), had a brother called Duncan Stewart, [who was a] tenant of Paddock-ha’ in Erskine of Cardross’ estate, [in] Port [of Menteith] Parish, whose wife is a widow in the Parish of Gargonock, and has six or seven sons, some of them come to manhood, and some under age, all doing well, and scattered in service over the country." However, the author has confused Duncan's brother Charles Stewart in Garkechnie with Charles Stewart, Saddler in Buchlyvie. 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 and Puddockhall (I15505)
|
| 2432 | 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 (I15514)
|
| 2433 | 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 (I15783)
|
| 2434 | 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. (This is the only account that shows Duncan residing in Upper Duart rather than Auchnahard. All other accounts show the family in Auchnahard. It is believed that Mrs. Stewart of Milton made and error. Auchnahard and Upper Duart are adjacent farms in Glen Finglas.) 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 (I15526)
|
| 2435 | 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 at his baptism in the Port of Menteith parish register by his substitute name of "David" Stewart. Duncan/David has not been found in later records. | Stewart, Duncan David (I15771)
|
| 2436 | 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 (I15563)
|
| 2437 | 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." Duncan's location is not given. It is presumed to be somewhere in Kilmadock as that's where his father and brothers all lived. --- Possible related births in Kilmadock: Duncan Stewart and Margaret Syme in Lanrick, Calziebohalzie in Cambusbeg (already accounted for) Andrew Patrick 29 Oct 1752, Alexr, son of Duncan STEWART and Margaret SYME in Lanrick.

| 2438 | Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan, the youngest, [who is] a labourer at Crieff with a family [of] all minors." marriage recorded secondly on 18 Jan 1801 in Crieff As none of Duncan's children are found in any Scottish census records, it seems highly likely that this family emigrated sometime after Stewarts of the South was written c. 1820 and prior to the first census in 1841. | Stewart, Duncan (I15233)
|
| 2439 | Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan, who made application to yourself (Maj. Gen. David Stewart of Garth) for a letter [and has] gone to the west Indies and is doing well." | Stewart, Duncan (I15372)
|
| 2440 | 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.

|
| 2441 | 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 in Ballachulish and Balfron (I15529)
|
| 2442 | 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 \'a3111.2.6, as there is \'a360 of advance is put on the whole \'a3140 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. \'a3105. Keen, shrewd, sly and sensible." The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol 3 indicates that Christian Stewart and her husband Duncan Stewart were cousins. Their cousinship has not been identified and may be maternal. 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. Glenfinglas Tree #2 in The Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Book 3, indicates that Duncan and Christian had a daughter, Margaret Stewart, who married Archibald MacLaren in Ardchullary. However, no evidence of such a daughter has been found. The entry confuses her with Duncan's sister, Margaret Stewart, who married Archibald McLaren in Stank and Archullary. | Stewart, Duncan in Duart (I15517)
|
| 2443 | 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. Family records indicate that he died in 1860. | Stewart, Duncan (I15238)
|
| 2444 | 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 (I10515)
|
| 2445 | 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 (I15793)

|
| 2447 | 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 (I15798)
|
| 2448 | 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 (I15516)
|
| 2449 | 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 (I10156)
