| 2451 | Duncan is not found in the 1851 census and is presumed to have died young. | Stewart, Duncan (I15242)
|
| 2452 | Duncan is not found with his birth family in 1841, but he could have been married and living elsewhere at the time. | McNaughtan, Duncan (I10191)
|
| 2453 | Duncan is not found with his parents in 1861 or 1871 and is presumed to have died in infancy. | Stewart, Duncan (I15580)
|
| 2454 | 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.

Netterville, Clerk. | Stewart, Duncan A. (Planter) (I15584)
|
| 2455 | 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 (I15587)
|
| 2456 | 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 (I15551)
|
| 2457 | 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 (I15400)
|
| 2458 | 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 (I15546)
|
| 2459 | 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. He and Jennie had two children: Travers Stewart Browne and Carrie Treleaven Browne (Mrs. William Lee Hoskins). https://geneal4real.wordpress.com/2014/11/22/john-browne-and-agnes-stewart-revisited/ | Browne, Duncan John Stewart (I24467)

| 2460 | Duncan M 11/5/1781 John Mary Ferguson Tacksman in Crachavie nat son | Ferguson, Mary (I29963)
|
| 2461 | Duncan may or may not be related to the John Stewart and Andrew Stewart shown here as his brothers. "Stewart, Duncan, __a_maker, Balfron, and Janet Ferguson, his spouse, had a son born the __ Dec'r 1814 and bapt 8 Jan'y 1815 named Nicol." (Balfron Parish Register 1816) "Stewart, Duncan, weaver, Balfron, and Janet Ferguson, his spouse, had a daughter born 14 Dec and bapt 11 Jan'y, named Isobel." (Balfron Parish Register 1818) | Stewart, Duncan in Balfron (I27599)
|
| 2462 | Duncan McJock's family appears in the Buchanan Communion Examination Roll for the first time in 1723. They are not present in 1721, however baptisms for his children are shown in the Buchanan parish register from 1711-1727. In 1723, Duncan McJock is listed as residing in Erochy Luig with the following family: Duncan McJock, Christian Campbell, Walter McJock, Marg’t McJock, Mary McJock, Kath McJock. As ages are not given, it is uncertain if Walter McJock is Duncan's son, brother, father or uncle. He is presently interpretted as Duncan's eldest son. In the 1725 Buchanan Parish Examination Roll, Duncan and his family are listed at Arachie Beg with the following occupants: Duncan McJock, Christian Campbell, Walter McJock, Mary McJock, Kath McJock' In the 1728 Buchanan Parish Examination Roll and subsequent Rolls, Duncan's wife and children are listed without him. However, in the 1737 Buchanan Parish Examination Roll, Duncan McJock is again shown with his family at Arrachie. (Duncan McJock, Christian Campbell, Walter McJock, Margaret McJock) His absense in the intervening years is unexplained but could be related to military service. | McJock-McFarlane, Duncan in Arrachie Lurg (I30945)
|
| 2463 | 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. | McLaren, Duncan Sr. in Ardveich and Derry (I22874)
|
| 2464 | 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. | McLaren, Duncan Jr. (I24744)
|
| 2465 | Duncan McNab is listed in Statistics from the Annexed Estates for Western Strathearn (1755-56) as residing in Easter Glentarken. "my 3-great-grandfather, Captain John McNab (1785-1854) raised his family in St. Fillans (and is buried in the 'old Culdee chapel' at Dundurn) - Captain John's paternal grandmother was a Macnaughton, and his sister Margaret married a Macnaughton, and lived at Dunira Your Duncan McNab would be of about the right vintage to be a brother of my 5-great-grandfather Iain Mohr McNab of Mid Lix (whose wife was Margaret Macnaughton).....Ian Mohr's father was Alexander, called "Proloch Mohr" (best guess is that's a phonetic spelling of Broilleach Mohr)." (Loraine Smith) | MacNab, Duncan in Easter Glentarken (I21557)
|
| 2466 | 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 (I10810)
|
| 2467 | Duncan McNaughton, d 23 MAR 1898, age 63 years, Kent County, farmer, born Scotland, Presbyterian, informant: Alex McNaughton. | McNaughton, Duncan (I10514)
|
| 2468 | Duncan presumably died prior to the birth of his same-named brother in 1834. | McLaren, Duncan (I24746)
|
| 2469 | DUNCAN STEWART A life-long resident of the Elphin area, Duncan Stewart passed away at the GWM Hospital on Saturday, Dec. 1, 1973 in his 88th year. Deceased was born June 30, 1886 a son of John Stewart and his wife Ellen Glenn. In June, 1910 he married Jessie Wilson, a daughter of Ebenezer Wilson, who predeceased him in April, 1953. Dunc was well known as a good neighbor, willing to lend a hand at many farm tasks and especially in the care of farm animals. One of his greatest enjoyments was to help others. The last 8% years of his life he made his home with the Long family. He spent most of the last five months in hospital. He leaves to mourn several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by all his brothers and sisters, Daniel, Charles, Margaret (Mrs. William Anderson), Ellen (Mrs. Dougal McVean), Christena (Mrs. Alex McDougall), Katie (Mrs. Fred Blackburn), and Jessie (Mrs. Albert McKerracher). The funeral was held at the home of Mrs. William Jackson on Dec. 3 with Mr. Orville Forrester officiating. "Rock of Ages" and "Abide With Me" were sung during the service. The pallbearers were Rod Miller, John Rutherford, Robert Ferguson, Ken Brownlee, William McIntyre and Arnold Long. The flower bearers were Tom Miller, Wilmer Gemmill, Doug Brownlee and Archie McDougald. Interment was in Crawford's Cemetery. Flowers and in memoriam cards to the Bibic Society, Elphin Church, W.M.S., Cancer Society and the Heart Foundation showed the high esteem felt for the deceased. | Stewart, Duncan (I26821)
|
| 2470 | 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 (I2586)
|
| 2471 | 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 (I14665)
|
| 2472 | Duncan Stewart (1739) indicates that Walter was a natural son of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie. He is recorded as the only natural son. "Walter Stewart, was a natural son and resided in Balliefoile. He gave a Bond of Manrent with his cousin, Alexander Stewart of Glenbucky, to Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy as part of their rehabilitation for the murder of John MacOlchallum Comrie in 1586." (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) The remainder of those included in the bond of manrent included: Walter Stewart in Bailliefoile (natural son of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie) Robert Stewart (son of Walter Stewart in Balliefoile, above) Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie Patrick Stewart, 1st of Ledcriech (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Robert Stewart of Broichie (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) James Stewart (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) John Stewart of Voil (natural son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Walter Stewart (natural son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie Walter resided in Bailliefoile. This property has not been located, but likely refers to a house on the shore of Loch Voil. Stewarts of the South indicates that Branch X of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie descends from a natural son of the Stewart of Glenbuckie who had twelve sons. That would be Walter. | Stewart, Walter 1st in Bailliefoile (I17907)
|
| 2473 | Duncan Stewart (1739) lists James Oig Stewart as a son of James Stewrart of Balquhidder. ("Oig" means "younger.") James is listed in other sources as well. Nothing is known of James Oig Stewart. No records have been found of his later life. It is not known if he died young or lived a long life and had descendants. He may or may not have emigrated. | Stewart, James Oig (I15941)
|
| 2474 | Duncan Stewart (1739) mentions this Alexander as the great-grandson of Archibald Stewart, son of Alexander Stewart, 1st of Annat, in the following reference: "Alexander, who purchased the lands of Annat from James Muschet of Burnbank anno 1621. He married ___ MacNab, daughter to Aucharn, by whom he had John, Walter, Andrew and James. He had likewise Archibald, great-grandfather to Alexander Stewart of Glassingall, writer in Stirling." Register of Baptisms 1685 (1684?) May 17th Alexander son to Archibald Stewart and Helen Law in Annat witness Alexander Stewart and Charles Stewart, Extracted from the Parish records of Kilmadock this 25 June 1851 (The witnesses in this case, would be Alexander Stewart of Annat and his younger half-brother, Charles Stewart.) Alexander is recorded in the later Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) as "Alexander Stewart, the first proprietor of Glassingall, Bents and Lochend. He died about 1742." He is shown as the son of Archibald Stewart "of Annat" (sic) and the younger brother of John Stewart of Ballacauich and Lendrick.Alexander purchased Glassingall and Bents (Banks?) in 1724 and Lochend in 1731. The 1650 Valuation Roll for Dunblane Parish shows Glassingall partially possessed by Mr James? Drummond at that time. Alexander was a writer (legal clerk) in Stirling. He was the great-great-grandson of Alexander, 1st of Annat. He married Ellen Fleetwood, daughter of John Fleetwood, merchant and maltman in Stirling. In 1716 Alexander was himself admitted as a maltman burgess and guild brother. He and his wife acquired considerable property in the Middle Bow (Glassingall House at 30 Bow Street), Castle Wynd, and Meal Market, that is King Street and in East Craigs, Stirling, and also the lands of Bents and Lochend. Alexander is also recorded in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) as being an "agent" for Prince James Francis Edward Stuart, the Old Pretender, during the Jacobite Risings of 1715 and 1719. He owned the estate of Glassingall which was in the heart of Jacobite territory as well as a townhouse in Stirling, which was Whig country, loyal to the Hanovarians. This allowed him to move freely between both places. According to research conducted by Ailsa Gray of Glassingall (2022), Alexander died with £15,000 in debts owing to him. (Approximately £500,000 in 2022, or $600,000 USD, $750,000 CDN, or $900,000 AUS.) The debtors were all prominant Jacobites whom he had made no effort to collect from. The implication being that these were not actual loans but that Alexander was in fact funnelling money to Jacobite leaders, possibly from external sources. "Alexander Stewart was succeeded in Glassingall by his only (surviving) son, Archibald, who completed title in 1748. The only (surviving) sister of the latter, namely Janet, married Bailie John Jaffrey, merchant in Stirling and afterwards Provost of Stirling. After owning Glassingall for about 30 years, Archibald Stewart conveyed the property to Alexander Jaffrey, merchant in Stirling, his nephew."

| 2475 | Duncan Stewart (1739) notes that Alexander Stewart, 8th of Gartnafuaran, had a younger son named Walter. Walter is shown in the Balquhidder parish register as "Nobr (November) 1697 - Alexander Steuart and Margaret Campbell in Sronslanie and tacksman of Gartnaf___ 1696 had a child baptized and called Walter." He is likely the Walter Stewart referred to on 9 Aug. 1732, in a sasine by Alexander and his son James granting sasine in favor of Walter Stewart in Glenfinglas in security for a bond of 600 merks Scots. (source: Olar) | Stewart, Walter in Glenfinglas (I17744)
|
| 2476 | Duncan Stewart (1739) records Walter's name as Patrick and his birth as illegitimate. Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, confirms he was a natural son. His birth mother is unknown. 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. (MacGordon MacGregor, The Red Book of ScotlandGregor). Walter Stewart in Bailliefoile (natural son of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie) Robert Stewart (son of Walter Stewart in Balliefoile) Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie Patrick Stewart, 1st of Ledcriech (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Robert Stewart of Broichie (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) James Stewart (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) John Stewart of Voil (natural son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Walter Stewart (natural son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) According to Stewart Clan Magazine, he married Margaret Haldane and lived in Broichie, Kilmadock, and his will was filed 11 NOV 1617. | Stewart, Walter in Broichie (I17909)
|
| 2477 | Duncan Stewart (1739) refers to Robert Stewart of Glenogle, father of John Stewart of Hyndfield, as "from whom John Stewart of Hyndfield or Stronvar is the 5th in a lineal descent". Duncan Stewart's History, although published in 1739, was actually written in 1730, thus we can presume that Duncan Stewart had personal knowledge of John Stewart of Hyndfield. Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, was descended on his mother's side from the Stewarts of Glenogle. In 1763, Patrick dictated his maternal family tree John Stewart of Hyndfield is shown as the son of Robert Stewart of Glenogle. John Stewart of Hyndfield would have been a first cousin to Patrick's mother. Stewart Clan Magazine reproduced Patrick's tree in graphic form in 1956 and commented that Patrick Stewart should be considered a reliable source of information on his own mother's ancestry. (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, December 1956, vol. 34, no. 6, pp.177-179) The Ardvorlich History says (incorrectly) that John Stewart of Hyndfield was descended from John Stewart in Kirkton. (See entry John Stewart in Kirkton, above). Stewarts of the South records that the Stewarts of Monachyle branch was the senior surviving branch in 1815, thus it is believed that John Stewart of Hyndfield was the last male of the original Glenogle family and that the male line died out with him. John Stewart of Hyndfield is appears in the Balquhidder OPR as "John Stewart in Stronvar Mor" with his first wife, and then later as "John Stewart of Hyndfield" with his second and third wives. It is believed that John married firstly to Janet McNab, secondly to Jean Campbell, and thirdly to Janet Buchanan. John Stewart had children with his first two wives. There are no recorded children for his third marriage. As the male line of this family did not continue past John of Hyndfield, it is suggested that none of his sons survived. | Stewart, John of Hyndfield (I16846)
|
| 2478 | Duncan Stewart (1739) say that Patrick married a "daughter of Lecky of that ilk". James Stewart, Settlements of Western Perthshire, p132, identifies her first name: "Firm evidence of the early Stewart interest in the Glenbuckie estate dates from an instrument of resignation of 15 October 1552, drawn up at Perth by Patrick Stewart of Glenbuckie and his wife Margaret Lekky, in favour of their son Robert Stewart and his spouse Katherine Kennedy." | Lecky, Margaret of that Ilk (I8499)
|
| 2479 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says "John of Annat had likewise by his second wife, 4 James Stewart, Lieutenant-Colonel to the Scots Regiment of Horse Guards and Deputy Governor of the Castle of Edinburgh, who had issue, [illegible] also 5 Charles, who had issue, 6 Captain Henry Stewart, and 7 Robert Stewart, a surgeon, who had issue." | Stewart, Charles (I15195)
|
| 2480 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says "Robert Stewart, ancestor of Hyndfield" is recorded as having signed the 1654 Bond of Keltney Burn along with the heads of all the other Stewart houses in Balquhidder, Athol, and Appin swearing tacit allegiance to King Charles II. In 1763, Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, dictated his maternal family tree through the Stewarts of Glenogle. In that tree, the father of (Capt.) Duncan Stewart of Glenogle is shown as blank. Stewart Clan Magazine reproduced the tree in graphic form in 1956 and commented that Patrick Stewart should be considered a reliable source of information on his own mother's ancestry. (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, December 1956, vol. 34, no. 6, pp.177-179.) This Robert is believed to be the "Robert Stewart in Achanlachoylithie" who on 3 JUN 1657 obtained a sasine for the lands of Glenogle, Auchanlachoylithie, and Balanluig for £1000 Scots. The Ardvorlich History lists a Robert Stewart in Glenogle in 1645, however it must be acknowledged that this reference could be a reference to the 1654 Bond of Keltney Burn with the last two digits transposed. As The Ardvorlich History does not mention it's source, then there is no way to know for sure. | Stewart, Robert 3rd of Glenogle (I17630)
|
| 2481 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says "Robert, from whom John Stewart of Hyndfield, or Stronvar is the 5th in a lineal descent". As Duncan Stewart wrote his history in 1730, nine years before it was eventually published, and at the same time as said John Stewart was actually in possession of Hyndfield, we should reasonably presume that Duncan's source was John Stewart in Hyndfield himself. We should have confidence that John Stewart would know his own ancestry, and thus we are confident that Robert Stewart was indeed the lineal male ancestor of John Stewart of Hyndfield. The Ardvorlich History does not show Robert at all and incorrectly shows Robert's brother, John Stewart in Kirkton, as the ancestor of the Glenogle Stewarts. Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, shows the Stewarts of Glenogle and Hyndfield descending from Robert's brother, Duncan MacAlasdair Stewart in Carnlea. In 1763, Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, shows his maternal ancestors, the Stewarts of Glenogle, originating with Robert Stewart of Glenogle, younger son of Alexander Stewart of Gartnafuaran. (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, December 1956, vol. 34, no. 6, pp.177-179.) | Stewart, Robert 1st of Glenogle and Stronvar (I17516)
|
| 2482 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says the second son of John Stewart of Annat was "Duncan, who purchased Ballachallan, whose son, George, married Mary Hume, daughter to Hary Hume of Argaty, by whom he had David, now of Ballachallan, George, a surgeon in Maryland, James, William, and several daughters." Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "[Duncan Stewart] acquired the lands of Ballachallan from Walter Graham of Ballachallan by contract dated 5 July 1664 and is then styled second son to John Stewart of Annat. He had issue (as ancestor of the Stewarts of Ballachallan & Argaty)." As follows: 1. Disposition by Walter Graham and Mary Monteith his spouse in favour of Duncan Stewart son of John Stewart of Annat and Agnes Graham his wife dated 20 May 1664 2. Charter of the said Walter Graham and by John Graham and their spouses in favour of the said Duncan Stewart and his spouse dated 20 May 1664 3. Instrument of Sasine following thereon in favour of the said Duncan Stewart and spouse dated 18 June 1664 The disposition above shows that John Stewart was married to Agnes Graham prior to 20 May 1664. The gift of land may be related to the occasion of their marriage. Given that Duncan seems to have partially followed the traditional Scottish naming pattern, it is possible that he may have had an earlier son named John, born ca. 1660-1670, whose birth is not recorded and who died young. | Stewart, Duncan 1st of Ballachallan (I15544)
|
| 2483 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "Alexander married Helen, daughter to Hugh (Ewan) Campbell of Leeks and had Duncan." Alexander's marriage date of 1627 is according to Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland. His birth date shown here is a best guess. Alexander's date of death comes from a reference in the miscellaneous notes of the John MacGregor Collection: "John Dow Stewart in Glenfinglas had two sons,- James and Alexander. James 1673 had a son named Alexander 1703 who married Mary Stewart and they had three sons - Robert Duncan and James. Alexander who was father to Duncan Stewart in Lack 1676 and grandfather to John Stewart in Glenbuckie." It is unclear from the context if 1676 refers to Alexander or his son Duncan. | Stewart, Alexander 7th of Glenbuckie (I14620)
|
| 2484 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "Alexander married ___ Gray, (he afterward married MacNab of that Ilk), he had Andrew his eldest son, and Robert, from whom John Stewart of Hyndfield, or Stronvar, is the fifth in lineal descent." Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "Alexander Stewart, 2nd of Gartnaferan, succeeded his father and was included with his sons Andrew and Duncan in a gift of their escheat to Alexander Stewart in Pitterag for the murder of John and Hugh Stewart, his brother, in December 1568. His wife is said to have had the surname Gray and surviving him, she married secondly to Alexander MacNab of Bovaine." MacGregor is prefrerred as more the reliable source in the accounting of Alexander's wife marrying a MacNab after Alexander's death, rather than Alexander marrying a MacNab after his wife's death. | Stewart, Alexander 2nd of Gartnafuaran (I14650)
|
| 2485 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "Alexander Stewart of Annat married Janet Edmondston, daughter to Edmundston of Hermits-croft, by whom he had Alexander and four daughters." MacGregor says, "Alexander Stewart, 3rd of Annat, was included in his father's Sasine for Annat in 1647 and whom he succeeded in 1665. He m. Janet, daughter of John Edmonston of Hermit’s Croft, and was buried in the Greyfriars, Edinburgh, on 1 March 1695." He is also referenced in the following: "Excerpts from Charter of Resignation of the said lands of Annat by the Earl of Perth in favour of the said Alexander Stewart fourth of Annat, his son, in fees dated 4 February 1688 and from Confirmation of said Charter of Resignation in favour of the same parties dated 16 March 1688." (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) | Stewart, Alexander 3rd of Annat (I14633)
|
| 2486 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "Alexander Stewart of Gartnafuaroe married Margaret, daughter to Colin Campbell in Dundurn and had James and Walter." Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "Alexander Stewart, 8th of Gartnaferan, succeeded his father and purchased the feu of his lands from John, Duke of Atholl, on 31 October 1718, for which he had a confirmation under the Great Seal on 26 July 1722. He married Margaret, daughter of Colin Campbell, Tacksman of Dundurn." The Balquhidder parish register refers to Alexander as "in Stronslanie, tacksman of Gartnafuaran". On 11 Sep 1726, Alexander Stewart of Gartnaferan craved a declaration from the Balquhidder Kirk Session to record "the burning of his house, wherein ye whole effects and ye value of the whole of his papers were consumed, q[uh]ilk happ[e]ned in the morning about two oclock of the Twenty eight day of August [1726]." (c/o Gordon MacGregor) "On 13 Dec. 1729, he granted sasine to James Campbell, son of Duncan Campbell, brother of the laird of Edinample, for the eighth part of the lands of Gartnafuaran called Stronslany. A few years later, on 9 Aug. 1732, Alexander and his son James granted sasine in favor of Walter Stewart in Glenfinglas in security for a bond of 600 merks Scots." (Olar) Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says that he is the Alexander Stewart in Gartnafuaran referred to the 1708 testament of Alexander Stewart in Duart, which refers to the deceased's wife as Janet Stewart, daughter of the late Alexander Stewart in Gartnafuaran. However, this is not possible as MacGregor notes that Alexander purchased the feu of Gartnafuaran in 1718, thus he could not be "the late" Alexander in Gartnafuaran in 1708. | Stewart, Alexander 8th of Gartnafuaran (I14781)
|
| 2487 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "Alexander, now of Annat, married Isabel Fullerton, daughter to Mr John Fullerton of Greenhall, Bishop of Edinburgh, by whom he had John, his son and heir, Duncan, a surgeon, who died in the East Indies, and several daughters." Alexander was only 15 years old when his father died, so he was placed in the care of his paternal uncle Duncan Stewart of Ballachallan on 14 June 1695. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) Alexander is referenced in the following: "Excerpts from Charter of Resignation of the said lands of Annat by the Earl of Perth in favour of the said Alexander Stewart fourth of Annat, his son, in fees dated 4 February 1688 and from Confirmation of said Charter of Resignation in favour of the same parties dated 16 March 1688." (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) Alexander's exact date of death is not known. He was still alive in 1752 at the time of the Appin Murder trial as his son, John, was summoned as a witness, in which he is referred to as "younger of Annat" or "the son of the family." His burial and his son's are conspicuously absent from the Old Kilmadock cemetery. It's possible they fled and died elsewhere or the stones have decayed. | Stewart, Alexander 4th of Annat (I14639)
|
| 2488 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "Alexander, now of Glenbucky, married Janet, daughter to Mr. David Drummond, brother to Cul~be~ly (Colquhalzie), and had issue." Through his Ardsheal mother, Alexander was a second-cousin to John Glas Stewart, 1st of Benmore, whose family later acquired Ledcreich and Glenbuckie. Although Alexander's marriage and children's baptisms all took place in the Episcopal church, the family were actually clandestine Roman Catholics. Alexander is recorded as having a son in the Catholic Jacobite boarding school in Kilmadock, run by Alexander's brother, Duncan Stewart in Torrie. Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "Alexander Stewart, 10th of Glenbucky, succeeded his father and acquired the lands of Easter Invernenty from John, Duke of Atholl, by disposition dated 13 March 1724 for which he had a charter under the Great Seal on 12 February 1727. He married at Balquhidder, on 26 February 1724 to Janet, sister and co-heir of John Drummond of McCorrestone, and is said to have either committed suicide or to have been murdered by James Mor MacGregor (son of Rob Roy MacGregor) upon the commencement of the Jacobite rising of 1745. He was father of: Duncan Stewart, 11th of Glenbucky, Alexander Stewart, 12th of Glenbucky, John, David, Walter, Janet, Mary." A Jacobite Unto Death Alexander was a Jacobite who served in the Duke of Perth's Regiment. Beauchamp says: “Stewart of Glenbuckie was a man of considerable standing. It was he who led out the Balquhidder Stewarts to the ’45, but he did not get very far. He was with his Stewarts and Glencarnaig with his MacGregors [when they] marched off together and stayed together until they reached Leny House, near Callander. There Buchanan of Leny (sic, “Arnprior”) invited them both to stay the night. [MacGregor of] Glencaranaig declined the invitation and Glenbuckie accepted. Next morning Glenbuckie was found dead in bed, shot though the head. A discharged pistol was in his hand. He was buried within the Church of Balquhidder, the 1631 Church, and round about 1855 when burial vaults were being prepared a skull was dug up, the ball still rattling around inside. Skull and ball were reburied. “Whether this was suicide or murder has never been established. Buchanan did not go out himself in the ’45. He was arrested at Leny House before Culloden, taken to prison at Stirling and executed at Carlisle, proclaiming to the end his innocence of Glenbuckie’s death. After the loss of their leader most of the Balquhidder Stewarts went back home, although a few went on and joined with the forces of the Duke of Perth, with Atholl’s men or with Glengyle.” Murder or Suicide? "Journal of the Clan of MacGregor and Transactions of the year 1745, from the Braes of Balquhidder, till they returned" by Mr Duncan MacGregor: "Glenbuckie went with him (Arnprior) to Leny, that night [7-8 Sep 1745], and shot himself before the morning. . . the Stewarts got him coffined, set off with him on their shoulders and got him tombed that night [8 Sep 1745], and they never joined us more." From: Amelia Georgiana Murray MacGregor, History of the Clan Gregor, from public records and private collections, 2v. (Edinburgh: W. Brown, 1898-1901), II: 365. Following the murder of Alexander Stewart of Glenbuckie, Francis Buchanan of Arnprior was taken prisoner at Leny House by Capt. James Dunbar of the militia and committed to Stirling castle for suspicion of murder. He was later transferred to Carlisle and eventually executed on 26 OCT 1746. =================================== The Framing of Mr Francis Buchanan of Arnprior for the Murder of Alexander Stewart, 10th of Glenbuckie The case of Mr Francis Buchanan of Arnprior is so very singular, and attended with such odd unaccountable circumstances, that an exact narrative of it ought to be preserved, which is as follows: Whilst imprisoned in Stirling Castle, the Commanding Officer looking upon the evidence against Arnprior to be very thin, and not imagining Arnprior to be in any danger at all, allowed him to full liberty of the Castle, to walk up and down as he pleased, without keeping a strict eye over him. When several prisoners were ordered from Stirling Castle to Carlisle, Arnprior was appointed to be one of that number. Captain James Thomson and Lieutenant Archibald Campbell had the command of the party that guarded the prisoners in their journey. These officers knowing well the case of Mr Buchanan, and having witnessed the usage he had met with in Stirling Castle, treated him in a quite different manner from the other prisoners. In the forenoon, as if he had been only a fellow-traveller, they would have desired him to ride forwards to bespeak dinner at a proper place, and to have it ready for them against the time they should turn up. In the afternoon they also desired him to ride on and take up night quarters and to order supper for them, and all this without any command attending him. Had he wanted to, this gave him several opportunities every day of making his escape had he thought his life was at risk in the issue of a trial, besides, the officers would not have indulged him such liberties had they imagined any danger in his case. When the prisoners arrived at Carlisle, Arnprior, much to his own surprise and that of the foresaid officers, was immediately ordered into a dungeon and clapped into irons. Finding himself in this situation and dreading the worst from this harsh usage, he sent for Captain Thomson, who very readily came to him. After some conversation about the unexpected treatment, Captain Thomson, without loss of time, honestly represented the whole affair to the commanding officer, who said he was heartily sorry for the gentleman, but that it was not in his power to do him any service, because the Solicitor General was now in Carlisle. Captain Thomson did not stop here, but like one of genorosity and compassion, went directly to the Solicitor General for him to consider and allow the gentleman a more easy and comfortable confinement. The Solicitor General told him he knew there were more Buchanans than one among the prisoners and asked the Captain if he knew the Christian name of the Mr Buchanan he meant. The Captain didn't know the Christian name. Upon this, the Solicitor General pulled a list of names from his pocket, and after looking it over, he asked the Captain if Mr Francis Buchanan of Arnprior was the person whose case he was representing. That is the name of the gentleman replied the Captain. The Solicitor General replied by saying pray, Sir, give yourself no more trouble about that gentleman. I shall take care of him. I have particular orders about him, for he must suffer. This unaccountable speech from such a mouth about one neither convicted or tried surprised the Captain not a little and made him walk off without insisting any more, to tell Arnprior the result of what had passed, in the softest manner he could. This narrative was given by Lieutenant Archibald Campbell, after the execution of Arnprior, to several persons in Edinburgh and particularly to the Rev. Laurence Drummond. When Arnprior was brought to trial, not a single overt act was proved against him. An unsubscribed letter was produced in the court which had been intercepted in going to the Highland Army, and several persons, particularly Commissary Finlayson in Stirling, gave their affidavits that it was the handwriting of Mr Francis Buchanan of Arnprior. Upon this, the jury without hesitation or scruple brought him in guilty. After sentence of death was pronounced against him, so little did people imagine that he would suffer, that he was prevailed upon to send an express to London in order to give a true and exact representation of his case, not doubting this would be sufficient to obtain a reprieve from a verdict and sentence upon such light grounds, but all to no purpose. Arnprior was destined to destruction by his enemies, and accordingly suffered death at Carlisle. This letter was written at Penrith, by the Church of Scotland Minister after a conversation with Mr Francis Buchanan of Arnprior concerning the murder of Stewart of Glenbuckie. On the 18th October, Mr Francis Buchanan of Arnprior, after he was taken from prison returned again and spoke to me the following words: As I have obtained a few minutes longer to stay here I desire to spend them with you in prayer and conversation. After prayers, he proceeded and said: I am much obliged to Mr Wilson (who was one of the clergymen of the Cathedral) for suggesting one thing I forgot to speak of, being conscious of my own innocence. Mr Wilson says my being slandered with the murder of Mr Stewart of Glenbuckie did me harm on my trial. Now I take this opportunity to declare publicly, to you and my fellow prisoners that Glenbuckie and I lived many years in close friendship together, and altho' he was found dead in my house, yet, upon the word of a dying man, I declare, I myself had no hand in his death, nor do I know any other person that had. And I am persuaded I can likewise answer for everyone of my servants, since all of them were aquainted with and had a particular love to that gentleman. So that I declare it to be my opinion that he was the occasion of his own death. Robert Lyon, A.M. priest of the persecuted and afflicted, Church of Scotland.

| 2489 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "Alexander, who married Janet MacGrigor, by whom he had Andrew, Walter, Robert and Alexander." In 1622, Glen Finglas was "cleared" of members of Clan Gregor who attempted to settle there. The Clearing of the Glen was conducted by James Beag Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich, and Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie, Earl's Forester in Glen Finglas. In gratitude for the clearing. Ardvorlich was granted lands in Glen Finglas which he apportioned to the various cadet branches of the Stewarts of Balquhidder. Alexander Stewart, 5th of Gartnafuaran seems to be the most likely person to have received the Gartnafuaran portion of Glen Finglas after the Clearing of the Glen. However, it's possible that his father Walter was still alive to receive the lands. Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says that Alexander's grandson Walter was "served heir to his grandfather, Alexander Stewart, on 26 May 1653." | Stewart, Alexander 5th of Gartnafuaran (I14615)

| 2490 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "Andrew married Margaret Stewart, daughter to Alexander Stewart of Ardvorlich, by whom he had Walter, who succeeded him." Andrew and Margaret are named in the Merrill Bible. (Olar) In a 1622 petition by Lord Madertie for relief against those chargeable with him for the taxation of the Abbey of Inchaffray, “Andrew Stewart of Gartinfarrow” was charged a sum of money “for a part in the pendicles of the Kirk of Monzievaird” (Spalding’s Memoirs of Troubles in Scotland, vol. I, p.437, and Privy Seal 1622 13th Oct., vol. xiii, p.758, first series, c/o Olar). It is not certain that the Andrew referred to in the 1622 petition is this Andrew. It is possible that he could be from an earlier generation. Our present preferred interpretation is as shown. The Murder of Lord Kilpont Andrew Stewart and his son, Walter, were present on 1 September 1644 after the Battle of Tippermuir/Tibbermore in the camp of James Graham, Marquis of Montrose, when his brother-in-law and chief, James Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich, murdered John Graham, Lord Kilpont. On 1 March 1645, Andrew and Walter were among those who were pardoned for the act of fleeing the scene of the murder. Those pardoned included James Beag Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich; his son, Robert Stewart, younger of Ardvorlich; Duncan MacRobert Stewart, 2nd of Glen Ogle; Andrew Stewart, 6th of Gartnafuaran, and his son, Walter Stewart in Glenfinglas. | Stewart, Andrew 6th of Gartnafuaran (I14597)

(This Andrew, or his father, Alexnder, entered into a bond of Mandrate with Campbell of locheild, anno 156-.)" Andrew Stewart 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]". | Stewart, Andrew 3rd of Gartnafuaran (I14595)

Of him, in lineal descent, is Donald Stewart, now of Achnaguone, who has brothers, Alexander, Duncan, Alan, Dougal." Dugald succeeded his father by 1690.
