2401 Erica was one of several children from this family. Her full family information is available from John Jennings of Australia. Price, Erica Lucy (I13389)
 
2402 Ernest Angus married Mary Ann Beards. They moved to Devon, England where he was employed as a bookstall manager. They had no children. He died young at the age of 31.

Ernest's sister, Agnes, also moved to Devon and married a bookstall manager. 
Angus, Ernest (I23346)
 
2403 Ernest is listed in family records but his birth date is not given and is only estimated here. He has not been found in public records. It seems possible, if not likely, that he has been confused with his brother Andrew. Cuthbert, Ernest (I3461)
 
2404 Ernest Sharpe was born on the family farm just outside of Dresden. Like his father before him, he dreamed of being a farmer. He lived for farming. When he grew up he bought the farm next door to his father's and the two worked side-by-side. Ernest was the first farmer in Kent County to grow tobacco and farmers would travel for miles to learn tobacco farming methods from Ernest. He was also the first farmer in Kent County to own a tractor. It was a Caterpillar. Apparently you could steer it with ropes -- allowing you to walk behind it on the ground, or ride on the hay tractor behind, and still steer the tractor.

Ernest's wife, Mary Jane, hated life on the farm and convinced Ernest to give up his passion for farming and move into the town of Dresden. There he opened a hardware store and gas station, but his heart was in neither. It is interesting to note that the only other hardware store and gas station in Dresden was owned by the McVeans, of course.

Ernest was born a Methodist, but Mary Jane was a staunch Presbyterian and would not worship anywhere but a Presbyterian church, so Ernest became Presbyterian.

Ernest was an active member of the IOOF, for which he served as their Grand Master. He was an elder in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Dresden for most of his life (there might be a commemorative window there in his name). He was also a long-time town counsellor for Dresden. He was apparently so popular as a local politician that he never lost a re-election until he retired. He was so respected in the town of Dresden that the day of his funeral was declared a holiday for the town and all businesses were closed. 
Sharpe, Ernest Leroy (I14151)
 
2405 Ernestine is found in 1911 residing with her grandmother, Margaret Roberts, and aunt Isabella, with no mother given, and Agnes is not found in 1911. It is presumed that Agnes may have died between 1907-1911. However, a distant relative of her step-father claims that Ernestine was the daughter of Isabella. Thompson, Ernestine (I20562)
 
2406 Ernulf de Hesdin was a French knight who took part in the Norman conquest of England and became a major landholder under William the Conqueror and William Rufus, featuring prominently in the Domesday Book. He was disgraced as a suspected rebel and died in Antioch, Greece, while taking part in the First Crusade as part of the army of Robert Curthose. [Wikipedia] de Hesdin, Ernulf (I4380)
 
2407 Erysiphelas ("St. Anthony's Fire") - skin infection; and Meningitis - bacterial Duncan, Pvt. Abraham (I5279)
 
2408 Esra is not listed with his birth family in 1871 census. He has not been identified in the 1901 census. Prangley, Esra (I12648)
 
2409 Esther Ellen Liptrot married in 1875 to Edward Lonsdale. She almost a year later. Liptrot, Esther Ellen (I8943)
 
2410 Esther is found in the 1911 census with her parents. Nothing more is known of her. Angus, Esther A (I23411)
 
2411 Ethel is found only in family records and has not been found in any census or birth records. Stewart, Ethel (I16112)
 
2412 Ethel May Angus was born in 1900 in Skerton, Lancashire, England.

In 1901, at age 10 months, Ethel Angus was residing with her parents and siblings at 3 Boardley's Yard, Skerton, Lancashire, England.

In 1911, at age 10, Ethel Angus was residing at 77 Broadway, in Skerton, Lancashire, England, with her parents and siblings.

Sometime between 1911-1915, Ethel Angus immigrated to Canada with her birth family.

In 1921, at age 21, Ethel Angus was residing at 35 Gage Ave. in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with her parents and siblings. The census gives her date of immigration as 1895 which is impossible as she is wasn't even born in 1895 and she is found in the 1901 and 1911 censuses living in England.

On 16 Sep 1922, Ethel Angus married in Hamilton Wentworth, Ontario, Canada to Sydney Pappin. 
Angus, Ethel May (I473)
 
2413 Ethel's birth is registered under the name of Isabella Nixon, but later census records give her name as Ethel and show her with a younger sister named Isabella. It would appear that Ethel was originally named Isabella after her mother, and then when her next sister was born her parents changed her name and gave the name Isabella to the younger sister. In 1911 Ethel was unmarried and residing with her parents. It is presumed that she never married. Nixon, Ethel L (I11913)
 
2414 Ethelred became known as "the Unready", however his appellation was really "Unraed", which meant "without counsel". He succeeded his half-brother, Edward the Martyr as King of England in 978. He later abdicated in favour of King Sweyn in 1013 and fled to Normandy. He was restored as King of England on the death of Sweyn in 1014. Wessex, Ethelred II of (I20002)
 
2415 Ethelred is purported to be descended from Creoda (Cerda) King of Mercia, but the 200 year connection is not known. Mucil, Ethelred (I11574)
 
2416 Etta Adelia Luce Brown, Declaration for Pension or for Increase of Pension of Children under Sixteen years of Age (Name: US Government Form; Location: Yates Center, Woodson Co., Kansas; Date: 17 Oct. 1891;), Copy of Declaration in files of W. J. Hancock. Source (S56)
 
2417 Euphemia ("Fanny") never married. McIntyre, Euphemia (I10084)
 
2418 Euphemia McGregor had two illegitimate children: Allan Stewart in 1787 by James Og Stewart in Wester Ardveich, and Janet McDiarmid in 1790 by Daniel McDiarmid in Easter Ardveich. James Og Stewart later married Catherine McDiarmid. It seems likely that Catherine and Daniel were related.

1787 Augt 22nd Jas Stewart in W. Ardveich & Euphan McGrigor had their son born in uncleanness Bapt this day named Allan.

1790 Janry 3rd Daniel McDiarmid in E. Ardveich and Euphan McGrigor in E. Glentarkin had their Daughter born in fornication Bapd Janet.

Comrie 15th March 1789 Euphan McGrigor an unmarried woman in Ester Ardveich with child. Donald McDiarmid servg man to Alexr McLaren in said town at time guilt committed, now in Callander, father. (Comrie Kirk Session Minutes)

Allan Stewart was descended from John Dubh Mhor Stewart in Dalveich on both his father and mother's side. 
Campbell-alias-McGregor, Euphemia (I25166)
 
2419 Euphemia never married. Fisher, Euphemia (I6096)
 
2420 Eva continued to hold Braose lands and castles in her own right after the death of her husband, including Totnes and Hay. Marshal, Eva (I9595)
 
2421 Eva died at three weeks from canrum oris (mouth infection caused by malnutrition). Cuthbert, Eva Winnifred (I3467)
 
2422 Eva is found in 1881 with her parents in Turnberry, Huron County, Ontario, Canada. She is found in 1891 with her parents in Douglas, Selkirk, Manitoba, Canada. In 1901 she was residing with her parents in Rhineland, Lisgar, Manitoba, Canada. Stewart, Mary Eva (I17777)
 
2423 Eva is recorded as having lived to see her 100th birthday in 2003. She may still be alive even today. French, Eva Lillian (I6331)
 
2424 Eva's origins are unknown. Early editions of Burkes and Scots Peerages indicate that she was daughter of Swane, son of Thor of Tranent. However this error was corrected in a later errata. Other sources equate her with Alesta of Mar, however there is no evidence to suggest any of these connections. These errors, though previously corrected, still perpetuate on the internet. Eva (I5791)
 
2425 Evan Jones is recorded as the witness of William Jones' wedding in 1844 in Llwynegrin, between Northrop and Mold, south of Flint. Evan is presumed to be the brother of William, but his age is unknown. Their father, John Jones was a miner.

There are multiple matches for an Evan Jones residing near Llwynegrin in the 1841 and 1851 census records. The best contenders are:

1. Evan Jones, 20, miner, with wife Sarah Jones, 20, and son John Jones, 3 months, residing in Northrop. They were residing next to the families of Thomas Williams and Robert Griffiths. (marriage in 1839 shows father as William Jones).

2. Evan Jones, 25, miner, with wife Mary Jones, 25, son Thomas, 4, and daughter Ann, 1, residing in Northrop. (Evan Jones of Northrop and Mary Jones married 1834, married in Cilcain, about 6 km west of Mold, witnessed by Thomas Jones and Ann Jones)

3. Evan Jones, 25, collier, with wife Maria, 30, and children, Ann, 2, and John, infant, residing in Waen-y-Balls, Flint Mountain, between Northrop and Flint.

4. Evan Jones, son of John Jones, saddler, m 25 Dec 1849 in Mold to Harriet Barrett 
Jones, Evan (I24357)
 
2426 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Family F4164
 
2427 Evidence for the relationship between Iain Mor Tanistair MacDonnell and his daughter of unknown name shown here as well as the relationship to her husband is not verified and is anecdotal only. Several sources record that James Stewart of Albany married a "Lady MacDonald of Antrim". Her name is never given. "Of Antrim" is reasonably understood to refer to the leading house of Antrim. And this would seem an appropriate and reasonable match for an Albany Stewart fleeing the King's wrath. Some sources identify her as a daughter of the Earl of Antrim. However the Earl of Antrim was not created until 1603. But that later MacDonnell Earl of Antrim was a descendant of this family. So a later commentator mighrt reasonably mistakenly refer to this this family as the "family of the Earl of Antrim" even though it was prior to their appointment to that title.

John Mor MacDonald was Lord of Dunnyveg. He was involved in an ongoing feud with the Campbells of Argyll over shipping access to Ireland and he was murdered by James Campbell in 1427. John was also known as "Iain Mhor Tanister".

2428 Excerpt from Charter of resignation of the estate of Balachelish by John Duke of Argyll at Greenwich in favour of the said Alexander Stewart younger in liferent and John Stewart his son in fee dated 30 July 1731.

In the trial records for James Stewart of the Glen (1752), John Stewart of Balachulish states that he is 26 years old. Therefore he was born in 1726. 
Stewart, John 5th of Ballachulish (I17156)
 
2429 Excerpts from the Stewart Family File, compiled by Nina C. Ross:

"Peter Stewart was descended from a branch of the Stewarts of Blackhall in Renfrewshire, Scotland.

Of his life in Scotland we know but little. When young he studied law but the details are scanty. He became a writer in Campbeltown and later the Provost of the town.

With two partners he engaged in the herring fishing industry and it may have been in connection with this business that he became a merchant there. This business failed and left Peter with a considerable debt.

Appointment to office in the colonies always involved much preparation and expense on the part of the recipient. Peter Stewart's personal and business affairs had to be settled. In August 1775 he made an Assignment of £60 to be paid annually from his salary to his creditors in order to pay off his debt. He prepared ready for shipping, building supplies, bedding, clothing, utensils, a year's supply of food, etc. It was fall before Peter left Scotland to take up his new position in America.

On or about the 10th of September 1775, Peter Stewart, his second wife, some of his children, servants, etc., with a few settlers boarded the "Elizabeth" with Capt. Russell, at Cork, Ireland, for St. John's Island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. They arrived there two months later.

The north shore of the Island, where they found themselves, is and was not noted for its gentle breezes and calm waters. Their first night saw them blown out to sea again and it was some days before they attempted to land. The force of the wind and waves lifted their small vessel through the breakers on to the long sand bank which lay along the shore. Most of the cargo was lost with the supplies of the passengers. The date was November 6th.

It was an inauspicious arrival for the new Chief Justice. In a Memorial to the Board of Trade & Plantations dated October 1781, Peter Stewart claimed his loss to have been £1500.

Peter and his family spent the winter somewhere in the vicinity but the location is indefinite. The story that they lived in tents during the winter is doubtful. Men were available on the Island well able to build a log hut and there was no lack of trees. It was spring before the party finally arrived in Charlottetown, the little Capital of the Island. Peter was sworn into office 25 Jun 1776. There Peter lived until his death, with nothing found to suggest he ever returned to Scotland.

In his new life Peter Stewart had his problems, some of his own doing and some of his relatives' and in-laws'. Life on St. John's Island during those years of the Revolution was a matter of keeping body and soul together. With the coming of quieter years, conditions improved but money always was in short supply. Like others before and after him, Peter came to the Island in debt and never got out of it. Those in public office found the necessity to keep up some degree of appearance on a meagre and often non-existent salary to be beyond their achievement. It was a time of "each for his own".

Peter and his family were not inclined to compromise. Through the years many lawsuits in the Island Courts involved him and his children."

2439 Family background
He was the son of a marriage between Scotsman Duncan Stewart (of Acharn) and Uruguayan Dorotea Agell. Little is known about his life, but it is known he was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1833. His niece Matilde Pacheco married José Batlle y Ordóñez, who was later to become a long-serving Uruguayan President. His grand-nephews César Batlle Pacheco and Lorenzo Batlle Pacheco each served as a Deputy and Senator.

Early political career
Later he moved to Uruguay, where he worked as a civil servant and later as a politician. He served the ministry of economics in the administration of Lorenzo Batlle. In 1890 he was elected Senator.

He was a member of the Colorado Party (Uruguay).

President of Uruguay (interim)
The presidential election of 1894 resulted in a political crisis. For twenty-one days (between March 1 and March 21) none of the candidates received the necessary 45 votes to become president. During this time, Stewart, president of the Senate, exercised power as President of Uruguay.

Finally, Stewart ceded the office to Juan Idiarte Borda who won the presidency with 47 votes, but who was to be assassinated while President.

Post-Presidency
Later, Stewart opposed the grab of power by Juan Lindolfo Cuestas and was not active in politics from that time.

He married Delfina García Vargas and had eight children with her. Duncan Stewart died in 1923, having lived through practically all of Uruguay's post-independence history.

2440 Family legend has it that the Bell's were illegitimately descended from one of the Stuart kings. Apparently Frances could recount the whole lineage, but that knowledge died with her. Regrettably, at the time, her daughters were not interested in preserving it.

Family tradition recounts that the Bells lived within five miles of Hexham Abbey.

In 1841 John and Frances have an 11 year old servant working for them named Mary White. She may have been a niece. 
Bell, John (I948)
 
2441 Family notes c/o http://puslinch.bravepages.com/con.1F%20lots%206-10.htm McMaster, Archibald (I10660)
 
2442 Family notes indicate that Donald moved to Bromley Township. He is believed (but not confirmed) to be the Donald Stewart found in 1881 in Renfrew with wife Margaret and son James Arthur. No marriage record has been found. Stewart, Donald (I15679)
 
2443 Family notes indicate that Mary was born in 1798, however she was baptized in 1797. Bridgman, Mary (I1577)
 
2444 Family records (provided by descendant Ellena Biggs) indicate John Steuart married Christian/Christina King on 14 July 1796 in Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland and that the family later resided in Thornhill (or at least son James did.) They had the following children:
1. James, b 1797, bap 18 Dec in Kincardine, d 1859 in Terang, m 4 Oct 1829 in St. Ninians, Stirlingshire, to Margaret Rue/Rowe, had son John b 11 Dec 1836 in Bannockburn, Stirlingshire, d 1912 in Terang, m Elizabeth Crawford 11 Sep 1865.
2. Alexander, born 1801, bap. 14 October in Port of Menteith, died 1863, married Jessie/Janet Crawford 1857 (it is unclear what the 1857 refers to as it seems too late to be a marriage date.)
3. Margaret, b 1804, bap, 23 March in Port of Menteith
4. Duncan, b 1807 bap 11 November in Kincardine by Doune, died 1854 in Victoria, Australia
5. Jean, b 1812, bap 26 Jun in Kincardine by Doune, m Robert Gibb
6. Angus*, b 1819, bap 21 Nov in Fortingall.

Family records indicate that children James, Alexander, Margaret, Duncan and Jean all immigrated to Australia. There is no record of John having emigrated. He likely died prior to his children emigrating in 1852.

(*The fact that Angus was born in Fortingall, far distant from the other children, and has not been found residing with this family in any census record, and that the family has no record of Angus immigrating to Australia suggests that he does not belong to this family and has been mistakenly connected.)

In 1841 John was residing in Laigh Town (probably Leitchtown/Leithstown, west of Ruskie), Thornhill, Kincardine by Doune. John is recorded as age 77, born in 1764, employed as an agricultural labourer and shown with three of his children: Alexander, age 38 (b1803), Margaret, age 34 (b1807) and Duncan. age 30 (b1811).

Stewarts of the South Appendix shows several John Stewarts residing nearby. We can reasonably eliminate all but one of them as contendors for this John Stewart:
There are four John Stewarts in Kincardine parish, but they are all residing on the Blair Drummond Moss far to the east of Thornhill.
There are four John Stewarts in Doune parish, three of whom reside in the village of Doune. The fourth resides in Broich and is a match to a cousin of this John, also from Ardvorlich Branch IV.
John Stewart in Wester Torry is too far away to be this John.
John Stewart in Torry is too far away to be this John.
John Stewart, Esquire, Tacksman of Portend of Menteith, is nearby, but is recorded as the brother of Robert Stewart in Ruskie, who had an adults son, John Stewart in Nether Ruskie, thus the John Stewart in Portend would be too old to be this John Stewart.
The afformentioned John Stewart in Nether Ruskie is residing in the right area but does not match onomastically.

Which leaves us with the only viable match being:
"Mr John Stewart, tenant and ward of ?goode [Wards of Goodie], of the Ardvorlich family, a careful industrious character, £150, Erskine of Cardross' property." (Ward of Goodie is about 1.5 km west of Thornhill where this family resided. Thus, this is the closest match and it is supported by corroborating evidence from earlier generations. According to Stewarts of the South (Ardvorlich section), John Stewart in Wards of Goodie was descended from the Stewarts of Ardvorlich Branch IV -- "The Letter Stewarts" -- who resided in Auchrig and Letter. A viable line of ancestry can be traced from this John Stewart in Wards of Goodie back to an earlier John Stewart in Auchrig. All available evidence supports this connection. No available evidence contradicts it.

Stewarts of the South (family sections) reveal the following families with connections to Thornhill, only one of which matches this John:
Ardvorlich IV.2 (does not match);
Ardvorlich IV.3 (matches);
Ardvorlich VII.1 (does not match);
Ardvorlich VIII.2 Annat (does not match)
Glenbuckie II.2&3 (does not match)
Gartnafuaran V.9 Glenogle (does not match)

The only viable matching birth record for this John is the following family which is a chronological, geographic and onomastic match, thus allowing us a high degree of confidence that it is correct:
James Stewart and Janet/Jean Mcfarlane - Thornhill (Kincardine OPR)
1762 July 30, James Stewart in this parish and Jean Mcfarlane in Port parish listed for proclamation in order to marriage.
1. John, son to Jas Stewart and Janet Mcfarlane baptd. 1763 May 22
2. Mary, daugr to James Stewart and Jean Mcfarlane, Thornhill. 1769 March 5
3. Margt, daugr to James Stewart and Jean McFarlane, Thornhill. 1770 Aug 27 
Stewart, John in Wards of Goodie (I21535)
 
2445 Family records (provided by descendant Ellena Biggs) indicate John Steuart married Christian/Christina King on 14 July 1796 in Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland and that the family later resided in Thornhill (or at least son James did.) They had the following children:
1. James, b 1797, bap 18 Dec in Kincardine, d 1859 in Terang, m 4 Oct 1829 in St. Ninians, Stirlingshire, to Margaret Rue/Rowe, had son John b 11 Dec 1836 in Bannockburn, Stirlingshire, d 1912 in Terang, m Elizabeth Crawford 11 Sep 1865.

In 1841, James was not residing with his parents. He may be the James Stewart found residing at Baker Street, St. Ninians, Stirlingshire, Scotland, employed as an "inner" (obvious transcription error) and showing no family.

In 1851, James was residing in chapel Croft, St. Anne, Stirlingshire, Scotland, employed as a weaver. He was residing with his wife, Margaret and children christina, John, Isabella and Jane. Daughter Jane is not mentioned in later family records but is found in later census records with her widowed mother.

In 1851, James is also found residing at 150 Main Street in Gorbals (Glasgow), Lanarkshire, employed as a weaver and shown as born in Monteith, Perthshire. He was residing with his wife, Margaret, born in Bannockburn, Stirlingshire, and their son John, age 17, born in Bannockburn, Stirlingshire, and also employed as a weaver. A member-submitted note attached to the Ancestry transcription indicates that the mother's name is Margaret Rue. This could seem to indicate that the family maintained two residences. However there is a matching birth for a John Stewart b 1836 in Gorbals to James Stewart and Margaret Calder. It seems that another researcher has conflated two families.

James and his wife, Margaret, and son, John, immigrated in 1852. James's brothers Alexander Stewart, Duncan Stewart and sister Jean were already in the Western District of Victoria at that time.

James' death registration indicates that he came from Thornhill, Perthshire, Scotland and that he had been in Australia for 7 years at the time of his death in 1859. It also mistakenly records that he had been married 20 years, when it should be 30 years. His father's name is given as John.

James' wife, Margaret, appears to have returned to Scotland after James' death, as she is found residing there with her daughters as late as 1871. (Refer to Margaret's notes for more details.) 
Stewart, James (I21537)
 
2446 Family records and MacGregor both give his name as Robert Duncan Stewart and indicate that he never married. Ancestry's transcription of the baptismal record gives his name as William Duncan Stewart. It's possible that the Ancestry transcription is incorrect. It will require viewing of the original record to determine the error.

MacGregor gives his date of birth as 10 Sept 1839. 
Stewart, Robert Duncan (I16047)
 
2447 Family records do not give Willie's place of birth, however his parents are found in Qu'Appelle in the 1901 census with their son John, so Willie must have been born in Qu'Appelle. Stewart, Willie Stirton (I18769)
 
2448 Family records give Jean's birth as 2 DEC 1761 where as the Callander OPR records her birth as 29 NOV 1761. Stewart, Jean (I16886)
 
2449 Family records indicate Alexander immigrated to Australia and married Janet/Jessie Crawford and have the date 1857 written beside. It is unclear if that is the date of their marriage her her date of death.

Alexander was residing with his parents in 1841. 
Stewart, Alexander (I21560)
 
2450 Family records indicate John was born in Illinois. 1881 Census indicates he was born in Nova Scotia. Bridgman, John S. (I1422)
