| 2501 | 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, Capt. Henry (I16058)
|
| 2502 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "John of Annat had likewise by his second wife... 7 Robert Stewart, a surgeon, who had issue." As he is spoken of in the past tense, it is presumed that Robert was dead by the time Duncan Stewart published his Historical and Genealogical Account of the Surname Stewart in 1739. Robert was a surgeon and/or an apothecary in Doune. He was pursued by the Privy Council in 1690 for his participation in the Jacobite army at the battle of Killiecrankie in July 1689. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) Robert MAY be the progenitor of the later Stuarts of Rait. The chronology, location, onomastics and circumstances are an ideal match, however we have found no documentary evidence to support the connection, only circumstantial evidence. This is supported by a reference in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) in which it is stated that all the Stewart claimants for the estate of Glassingall claim descent from Capt. John Stewart (2nd) of Annat. The Stewarts of Rait were among the claimants. | Stewart, Dr. Robert MD in Annat (I28082)
|
| 2503 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "John of Annat married secondly, Elizabeth Campbell, daughter to John Campbell of Kinlock, by whom he had 3. William, who purchased Craigtoun, William of Craigtoun had Alexander, his son and heir, Lieutenant James Stewart, and Robert. Alexander of Craigtoun married Katharine Drummond, daughter to Drummon-Erinoch, by whom he had James, who died a batchelor and several daughters." | Stewart, Lieut. James (I15972)
|
| 2504 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "John of Annat married secondly, Elizabeth Campbell, daughter to John Campbell of Kinlock, by whom he had 3. William, who purchased Craigtoun, William of Craigtoun had Alexander, his son and heir, Lieutenant James Stewart, and Robert. Alexander of Craigtoun married Katharine Drummond, daughter to Drummon-Erinoch, by whom he had James, who died a batchelor and several daughters." Robert died without children. | Stewart, Robert (I17514)
|
| 2505 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "John of Annat married secondly, Elizabeth Campbell, daughter to John Campbell of Kinlock, by whom he had 3. William, who purchased Craigtoun, William of Craigtoun had Alexander, his son and heir, Lieutenant James Stewart, and Robert. Alexander of Craigtoun married Katharine Drummond, daughter to Drummond-Erinoch, by whom he had James, who died a batchelor and several daughters." He purchased the lands of Craigton in the Braes of Doune. Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions records William's gravestone in Crieff Cemetery as "(in [church] hall, on wall) (emblems) W S K McF (arms, lion rampant, crescent and fess chequy, motto) vivur ingenio Wm Stewart of Craigtoun 29.8.1702 53, w Kath McFarland 1810 37, chn Marjorie, Marie & Helen Stuart." Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, say that William " is styled eldest lawful son of John Stewart of Annat and Elizabeth Campbell, his second wife, when he renounced a wadset of the lands of Ballievorest to James, Earl of Moray, on 6 July 1672.4 He purchased the lands of Craigton, on the Braes of Doune." In an instrument dated 2 June 1687, William Stewart of Craigton is recorded as 'Chamberlane of the shire of Argile' to Mr. Dougdall Campbell 'to intromit with the estate of Achinbreck to collect crops and rentals'. William's mother was Elizabeth Campbell, daughter of John campbell of Kinloch, a minor Glenorchy cadet. William later demitted that office in favour of his brother Robert who also witnessed this instrument. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, personal correspondence.) | Stewart, William 1st of Craigton (I18149)
|
| 2506 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "John Stewart of Glenbucky married Jane, daughter to John Stewart of Ardsheal, Tutor of Apine [Appin], by whom he had Alexander, Duncan, Donald, and John." (sic - the existence of the fourth son, John, has not been substantiated by any other sources.) Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "John Stewart, 9th of Glenbucky, succeeded his father and purchased the feu of the lands of Glenbucky from James, Duke of Atholl, on 5 February 17061 for which he had a confirmation under the Great Seal on 27 September following. He m. Janet, daughter of John Stewart of Ardsheil, (c/m 2 October 1695) and was father of Alexander, Duncan, Donald and Jean." | Stewart, John 9th of Glenbuckie (I16663)
|
| 2507 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "Waltar in Gartnafuaroe, married ____ Buchan, and had, Alexander." Nothing more is known about Walter. The Merrill Bible once belonged to Margaret Stewart (1731-1830), great-granddaughter of Robert Stewart the Covenanter (1655-1714), son of Walter Stewart 7th of Gartnafuaran. After Margaret’s death, the Merrill Bible was inherited by the descendants of her son James Anderson. The bible contains family history information in which the wife of Walter Stewart, 4th of Gartnafuaran, is identified specifically as Elizabeth Buchan. | Stewart, Walter 4th of Gartnafuaran (I17932)
|
| 2508 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "Walter married Isabel, daughter of John Stewart, predecessor to Glenbucky and had three sons: Alexander, Robert, and John." Walter initially resided in Glen Finglas prior to inheriting Gartnafuaran. The Murder of Lord Kilpont Walter Stewart and his father, Andrew, were present on 1 September 1644 after the Battle of Tippermuir/Tibbermore in the camp of James Graham, Marquis of Montrose, when his uncle and chief, James Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich, murdered John Graham, Lord Kilpont. On 1 March 1645, Walter and Andrew 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. Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says Walter was "served heir to his grandfather, Alexander Stewart, on 26 May 1653." The Edward S. Gray Papers say Walter’s will was probably confirmed 27 March 1679. This would suggest his death was shortly before that date. (Olar) Walter was one of the signatories of the 1654 Bond of Keltney Burn along with the heads of the other Stewart households of Balquhidder, Annat and Atholl, in support of King Charles II and in opposition to Oliver Cromwell. This document would have been considered treasonous at the time. (Stewart Clan Magazine, Jan. 1940, vol. XVII, no. 7, pp. 126-127, and Dec. 1962, vol. 40, p.265, c/o Olar) Stewarts of the South says the following about a Walter Stewart of Gartnafuaran: "Although they are the last, I think they ought to be the second, at least. In general, they are something like to the family of Ardvorlich, not altogether valiant as the Glenbuckie family, but more of a Low country nature. The only distinguished character known to me of this family was one "Walter-du-mor" ("Big Black Walter") who [along] with his two sons was killed at the battle of Kilsyth, [although] some say, however, that they were killed at the battle of "Bodle (Bothwell) brig", which was certainly not the case. The Battle of Kilsyth took place on 15 Aug 1645 and the Battle of Bothwell Brig took place on 22 Jun 1679. One interpretation is that this applies to Walter Stewart in Glen Finglas, eldest son of Alexander Stewart, 5th of Gartnafuaran, and that he and his sons died in 1645. However, another interpretation could be that the author of Stewarts of the South, writing about 150 years later, may have been mistaken about the battles. It could refer to this Walter Stewart who died the same year as the Battle of Bothwell Brig, and one of his sons, Robert, is know to have fought at Bothwell Brig, then fled to Ireland, and could have been mistaken for dead along with one of his brothers. Walter's testament is extremely difficult to read, but what can be discerned from it is that he died in January of 1678. His residence was Stronslany, not Gartnafuaran at the time, which was in the hands of Donald Fergussone. His sons Alexander and John are mentioned. His wife is not mentioned, so it may be that she was already deceased. | Stewart, Walter 7th of Gartnafuaran and Stronslaney (I17936)
|
| 2509 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says: "Alexander of Craigtoun married Katharine Drummond, daughter to Drummond-Erinoch, by whom he had James, who died a batchelor and several daughters." Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, shows that James died without children. James Stewart is listed in a court action in 1711 against Alexander Stewart of Annat by his tenants, in which he is listed as having a tutor and thus was still of minor age. "Katherine Drummond, Lady Craigton, and Alexander Stewart, brother german to the Laird of Ardvorlich, now her husband, for her interest, and all tenantry and tacksmen of the Estate of Craigton, and James Stewart of Craigton, and his tutor and curatory for their interest." (19 Jan 1711) James Stewart presumably died prior to his aunt, Mary Stewart, who became heiress of Craigtoun. James and Mary would have been close in age. | Stewart, James 3rd of Craigton (I15971)
|
| 2510 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says: "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." Archibald is believed to be the one referred to in the following baptisms: "1633, October 29th. Ane bairn baptizet to James Stewart, of Arneworlit [uncertain place, possibly Ardvorlich]. The bairne's name is James. Witnesses, Argatie, William Stewart, Archibald Stewart." "1636, February 27th. Ane bairn baptizet to Archibald Stewart, in Argatie. The bairne's name is Jean. Witnesses, James Stewart, Walter Farlane." And lastly as the deceased Archibald Stewart: 1642, December 2 5th. Ane bairne baptizet to umquhile Archibald Steuart. The bairne's name is Marie. Witnesses, Thomas Chalmers, Johne Innes. Gordon MacGregor (The Red Book of Scotland) points out that there are multiple charters in which the younger sons of Alexander Stewart, 1st of Annat, are listed as Walter, Andrew, and James. In none of these charters is there a son named Archibald listed. The only reference to Archibald's existence comes from Duncan Stewart (1739). Macgregor suggests that Archibald likely did not exist and that the later line of Glassingall and Lanrick/Lendrick likely descend from a younger son of one of Alexander's younger sons and that the true ancestry of Glassingall and Lanrick/Lendrick is unknown. (Personal conversation with MacGregor.) | Stewart, Archibald in Argaty and Predecessor of Lanrick and Glassingall (I15273)
|
| 2511 | Duncan Stewart (1739) says: "John of Annat married secondly, Elizabeth Campbell, daughter to John Campbell of Kinlock, by whom he had 3. William, who purchased Craigtoun, William of Craigtoun had Alexander, his son and heir, Lieutenant James Stewart, and Robert. Alexander of Craigtoun married Katharine Drummond, daughter to Drummond-Erinoch, by whom he had James, who died a batchelor and several daughters." He would be the Alexander listed in the Dunblane Commissariat Records as: "Alexander, of Craigtoune, par. of Kilmadock 1 and 8 May, 3 and 6 July (9 conf.), and 18 Aug. 1705, 15 Dec. 1709, and 3 May 1711." Alexander and his wife died just five weeks apart. His testament indicates that they died of illness. Their young children were orphaned. "Testament, Inventar, etc, made, given up by Robert Stewart, chirurgeon in Doune, payment to him £444-6-8, expended on sickness, funerals, etc. (behalf of) James, Marie, Anna, Isobel Stewart, lawful children of dec'd and Catherine Drummond, relict of the dec'd, 13th February last past (1705)." | Stewart, Alexander 2nd of Craigton (I14649)
|
| 2512 | Duncan Stewart (1739), says the following: "Patrick married, first, a daughter of Lecky of that Ilk, secondly, he married a daughter to Edmonstron of Broich. He had twelve sons that came to maturity, but died himself without issue, only the eldest left a daughter...." He later says, "Alexander Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie, who married _____ Stewart, grand-daughter to the foresaid Patrick...." From this we can interpret that Patrick Stewart's only lawful descendant who outlived him was his granddaughter by his eldest son. We know he had an illegitimate son, Walter, who outlived him. But the rest of his lawful sons and grandchildren must have died before him or else they would have inherited Glenbuckie. Instead we see Glenbuckie passing latterally to Patrick's younger brother, Duncan, who became 3rd of Glenbuckie. In 1586, there is a Bond of Manrent between Alexander Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie and what appears to be several of his kin to Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy, for the murder of John MacOlchallum Comrie. The sons of Alexander are easily identifiable in the list of names, as is Walter Stewart, natural son of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie. The remainder are James Stewart in Glenfinglas and his three sons and "Johne Dow Stewart, son to Patrik Stewart in Dallielaggane." Dallanlaggan was the principal residence in Glen Buckie, thus it would appear that "Patrik Stewart in Dallielaggane" is Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie. And Johne Dow is his son. Thus it would appear that Johne Dow Stewart in Dallanlaggan and James Stewart in Glenfinglas are both two of the previously unknown sons of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie. Scottish naming custom would suggest that Patrick would have named his eldest son, John, after his own father, thus it is suggested that Johne Dow Stewart is Patrick's eldest son, and that he was the father of the daughter who married her cousin, Alexander Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie, noted above. If she was the only surviving lawful descendant of Patrick Stewart, this marriage makes sense to unite the two lines of Glenbuckie from brothers Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie, and Duncan Stewart, 3rd of Glenbuckie. | Stewart, Johne Dow in Dallanlaggan (I20710)
|
| 2513 | Duncan Stewart accompanied his father, Hugh, and his brother Joseph to Manitoba in 1879 to establish a homestead there. Duncan returned breiefly to Ontario in 1881 to marry Mary Ann Campbell. Duncan remained in Arden, Manitoba for only two years and then moved to Yorkton, Saskatchewan. After some time they returned to Arden until after Hugh's death in 1913, afterwhich they moved to Pleasantdale, Saskatchewan. When Duncan died in 1946, his son, Duncan Jr, donated a portion of the family farm to become the cemetery where Duncan Sr was buried. According to descendant Sharron Schaub: "Duncan's family were remembered for their hospitality: for opening their home for church meetings, picnics and parties. Duncan could step dance and play the violin." Due to a case of severe frostbite, Duncan eventually had to have his leg amputated. He took it with such good grace that he and a neighbour who also had a wooden leg created their own unique highland dance together involving tapping their wooden legs like African wood sticks. | Stewart, Duncan (I15399)
|
| 2514 | Duncan Stewart along with his twin brother, John, was born in 1847 in Drymen Village, Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, as a son of Andrew Stewart and Jane Campbell. Sometime after Duncan's birth and prior to the 1851 census, his father died. In 1851, at age 4, Duncan Stewart was residing at Main Street in Balfron Village, Balfron, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his widowed mother and siblings. In 1861, at age 12, Duncan Stewart was residing at 1 Buchanan Street in Balfron Village, Balfron, Stirlingshire, Scotland. Duncan Stewart has not been confidently identified in later records. | Stewart, Duncan (I30006)
|
| 2515 | Duncan Stewart and Agnes McGregor in Kirkline, Blair Drummond Moss, Kincardine-by-Doune, Perthshire, Scotland and Latterly in Dundee & St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada Duncan Stewart, in Kirkline, b. 1775, Clachglas, Glenbuckie, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland , d. UNKNOWN, Quebec, Canada . Duncan was the younger of the two sons of Duncan Stewart in Clachglas, a descendant of the Stewarts in Tulloch (Branch III of the Stewarts of Ardvorlich). Living in Ardcheanochdan Duncan Stewart was born in Clachglas in Glen Buckie in Balquhidder parish, Perthshire, Scotland. Duncan would most likely have been raised with Gaelic as his first language and he would have been schooled in English. We know nothing more of his younger life until he married in 1801 in Callander parish to Agnes (Ann) McGregor from Crieff parish. Their first son, Alexander, arrived a little early in 1799, three years prior to his parents' marriage. Given the significant gap before the birth of their next recorded child, Mary, in 1806, it seems likely that there was at least one child born between 1803-1806 for whom we have no record and who did not survive long enough to be recorded in the 1814 Moss Census. Onomastics would suggest that the child was probably named Duncan. They initially lived in Ardcheanochdan on the north shore of Loch Achray in Callander parish. A palatial hotel was later built on the site of Ardcheanochdan, which is today known as the Tigh Mor Trossachs Hotel. Duncan and Agnes lived there likely as cottars and labourers on the estate. They moved briefly to Dullater on the south shore of Loch Venachar in 1807 where their third child was born. And, by 1809, they had moved to Kirkline on the Blair Drummond Moss. The Hard Life of a Moss Farmer Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan Stewart, of Kirkline Flanders Moss, has four sons who are labourers about himself." Fortunately there is only one Duncan listed in the 1814 Moss Census as residing in Kirkline who also happens to have four sons (shown below). This allows us to identify Duncan and his family with confidence. Life on the Moss was difficult. A special breed of person was now required who could endure the hardship of living on the moss. (George) Home-Drummond (owner of the Moss) found them amongst the poverty-stricken dispossessed Highlanders from Perthshire who were still suffering from the consequences of the Jacobite Uprising fifty years before. Most came from the Balquhidder area. (MacKerracher, Archie, Perthshire in History and Legend, pp. 134-142, © 1988 The Estate of Archie MacKerracher, published by John Donald Publishers, Edinburgh.) Duncan toiled on the Moss and raised his family there for a decade. It was likely a hard and miserable life. The War of 1812 Opens up the New World After the North American War of 1812 (which ended in 1814), the British Government actively began seeking settlers to move to the British controlled colonies of Upper and Lower Canada (the future provinces of Ontario and Quebec) to help secure the border areas of the colonies from any potential future American invasion. Enticed by grants of free land, boatloads of settlers left Perthshire and elsewhere to try their fortunes in the New World. In 1819, Duncan Stewart and his family joined the migration to the New World. Immigrating to Canada Sources conflict over whether Duncan Stewart and his family arrived in Canada in 1818, 1819, or 1820. Duncan's son Charles was born in 1819. No record of his birth has been found. His date and place of birth can only be inferred from census records. The 1851 census shows him born in Scotland. The 1871 census shows him born in Quebec. The 1881 census shows him born in Ontario, which is believed to be the correct one. Records show Duncan didn't inhabit the family farm in Dundee until 1820. Many of the Scottish immigrants went first to the town of Lancaster in Glengarry, Ontario, Canada, which was located directly across the St. Lawrence River from the Dundee settlement -- a distance of about 5 km. Glengarry had been settled for over a generation by the time of Duncan's arrival and predominantly by Scottish Highlanders. Duncan Stewart is listed among those Lancaster families. It seems most likely that Duncan Stewart and Agnes McGregor were living in Lancaster in 1819 when their son Charles was born and moved across the river a year later when the house was finished. (Sellar, Robert, The History of the County of Huntingdon and of The Seigniories of Chateaugay and Beauharnois From Their First Settlement To The Year 1838, originally published by The Canadian Gleaner, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada, 1888, pp. 169-170.) Settling in Dundee, Quebec Duncan and his family would have felt at home among their own people in Lancaster while Duncan secured their new home across the river on the south bank in Huntingdon County, Lower Canada (Quebec) on Lot 61 on the Dundee Road. (There are no known maps of the old lot assignments, so we don't know exactly where the Stewart farm was. Based on census records and other descriptive documents, it's believed that their farm was located midway between Dundee and St. Anicet townships very close to the township boundary line on modern maps.) Duncan and his sons, together with help from their neighbours, built a shanty for the family to live in. Their first winter in Canada was likely far more harsh and severe than anything they'd ever experienced back in Scotland. And the summers would have been much hotter than what they were used to back in Scotland. They must have wondered if they'd traded the frying pan for the fire. According to Sellar, "Duncan Stewart, Duncan McNicol, and 3 McMillans settl[ed] in 1820." (pp. 169-170) Sellars also says, "The second [English-speaking settlement] was begun in the fall of 1820, when Duncan McNicol crossed from Glengarry, where he had landed the year before, and squatted on 56.... He soon had for a neighbor, Duncan Stewart, and the following spring, while the ice was good, three brothers of the name of McMillan, who had emigrated from Lochaber in 1819." (pp. 188-189) Two of Duncan's sons, James and Donald, each married McMillan daughters. However, the 1831 Statistical Report for Godmanchester says that Duncan arrived in 1818. The 1831 account is preferred as more likely to be correct. By the fall of 1820, their new home was ready to be occupied. It was located on Akwesasne First Nation territory which they leased from their indigenous neighbours for terms that were exploitive. They would have settled in as subsistence farmers living off the land, perhaps with some small cash crops for sale in the nearby market towns. They would have earned extra money by felling tall trees to be used for ships' masts and by making potash. Most of their neighbours in Dundee and St. Anicet were Gaelic-speaking Highland Scots with whom they would have shared music, drink and traditional dancing on a regular basis. In 1820, the residents of Dundee petitioned the government for release from their rental contracts with their neighbouring Akwesasne landlords, claiming that they had been mislead in signing the contracts. Duncan Stewart is listed as one of the petitioners. (https://canadagenweb.org/quebec/huntingdon/record/dundee1820.htm) In 1825, Duncan Stewart is shown residing in a house with 11 occupants: 2 under the age of 6 (Charles 6 and Daniel 3); 2 between 6-14 (John 13 and Peter 9); 2 between 14-18 (Archibald 16 and Jannet 16); 2 males between 18-25 (Alexander and James D); one male over 60 (Duncan 50); one single female between 14-45 (Mary); one married female between 14-45 (unknown); and one married female over 45 (Agnes McGregor). Also residing in Dundee at the time was Robert Stewart with one child under 6, one male 18-25, and one married female between 14-45. Robert is of no known relation to Duncan. The 1831 Godmanchester Statistical Report gives us an informative picture of the progress of the family's development of their farm. It shows Duncan Stewart occupying Lot 60 Range 1 in St. Anicet, Huntingdon. It indicates that he settled in 1818. It also shows his son, Alexander Stewart, as another head of household sharing the same lot, occupying Range 1 & 2. They had 13 acres cleared, 12 acres under cultivation, one house, one barn, one head of family and his wife, 8 males, 2 females, one horse, 14 horned cattle, 6 pigs and 12 sheep. Duncan lived out the rest of his life in on the family farm in St. Anicet. Duncan is buried in Isle of Skye Cemetery in Dundee, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada, along with his wife, Agnes, however his gravestone has not survived. Church burial records show that Duncan was 62 years of age when he died. His exact date of death is not given. Assuming the age to be correct then Duncan Stewart died in 1837. In 1842, Duncan Stewart's widow, Agnes McGregor, was residing in Godmanchester (which included St. Anicet) where she is recorded in the census as "Widow Stewart" with 5 inhabitants in her home. Next to her was Alex Stewart with 7 inhabitants, Peter Stewart with 3 inhabitants, and James Stewart with 5 inhabitants. Duncan's widow, Agnes McGregor outlived him by many years. After Duncan's death, she moved in with their son Donald in Dundee. She lived to the age of 82 and is buried in Dundee cemetery. Many of their children married and continued to live in the area for another generation before spreading out across North America. -------------- 1814 Blair Drummond Moss Census Residence: Kirk Lane No14 Former Possessor Peter McNie Present Possessor Duncan Stewart 40 yrs Ann McGregor 32 " Children Alexander 14 " May 9 yrs James 7 " Jannet 7 " James (sic) 5 " Archibald 3 " John 1 " Persons deceased: None Years Settled on the Moss 4 years Where they came from Callander Cats 1 Dogs - Poultry 2 Swine - Sheep - Cows 2 Horses 1 Harrows 1 Plough 1 Carts 1 | Stewart, Duncan Jr. in Kirkline (I15558)

|
| 2517 | Duncan Stewart III was born in Kirkline on the Blair Drummond Moss in Kincardine-by-Doune, Perthshire, Scotland. Duncan Jr does not appear in the 1814 Moss Census as he was born just weeks after the census was taken. In 1818, Duncan's family left Scotland and immigrated to Canada. His parents are recorded in 1825 in Quebec, Canada as having eleven occupants in their house. The occupants are not named in the census. Only their sex and age ranges are given. When we count all the known children who were in Canada we get eleven occupants only by leaving this Duncan out of the count. Therefore it is inferred that Duncan died before 1825. We do not know if he died before the family left Scotland or after they arrived in Canada. There is no record of his death in either place. | Stewart, Duncan III (I15234)

| 2518 | Duncan Stewart is buried in Zion United Church Cemetery, St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. | Stewart, Duncan (I24307)
|
| 2519 | Duncan Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as "Duncan Stewart, tenant [in] Lianach [of] Glenbuckie. This Duncan had three sons, [namely]: Duncan, Donald and Alexander." There was another Patrick Stewart in Lianach at the same time who belonged to 2-Line of the Stewarts in Strone. | Stewart, Patrick in Lianach (I17461)
|
| 2520 | Duncan Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as being the patriarch of Branches 3 & 4 of the Stewarts of Ardvorlich. He is described as: "Duncan Brother to Major Stewart of Ardvorlich Tacksman of Auchraig [in] Port Parish Monteith then the property of Ardvorlich. His son Alexander whose offspring are called Sliochd Alastir Oaig." And also as: "Duncan Oag of Ardvurlich commonly called Letter Stewart Tacksman of Letter & Auchraig then belonging to Ardvurlich Port [of Menteith] Parish." "Oag" means "young", as in "Young Duncan". Duncan is incorrectly recorded in The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol.1 as being the "first" of this family to settle in Glen Finglas in 1592. This is impossible as Duncan was not born yet. Duncan settled at Inchcallbeg and acted as joint-bailie with his brother William to a Sasine for the lands of Ardvorlich in favour of their elder brother James on 18 July 1627. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) Duncan held the lands of Letter (in Balquhidder) and Auchraig and Inchalbeg near Lake Rusky in Menteith. Inchalbeg seems to have been his primary residence. Auchraig and Inchalbeg are deep in the heart of Clan Graham country which must have made for a very uncomfortable situation after Duncan's oldest brother, James Beag Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich, murdered John Graham, Lord Kilpont, and prompted the Grahams to swear a blood feud against the Stewarts of Ardvorlich. Duncan's testament is registered in the Dunblane Commissariat Records on 16 Nov 1632; "Stewart, Duncan, son to Alaster Stewart, in Ardvorlich." | Stewart, Duncan Oag of Auchraig and Inchcallbeg (I15781)
|
| 2521 | Duncan Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan, a moss-laird in Erskine of Cardross' estate in Port [of Menteith] parish, Perth county, who has three sons [who are all] under age." | Stewart, Duncan (I15222)
|
| 2522 | Duncan Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan, [a] shepherd with the Earl of Murray at Doune Lodge, a good character in his own station." He is later described as being unmarried (ca. 1815.) | Stewart, Duncan (I15221)
|
| 2523 | Duncan Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan, [who was] sometime ago at Doune, who also left three [sons], [namely] Duncan, David, and Donald." | Stewart, Duncan in Ardcheanochdan and Doune (I15250)

| 2524 | Duncan Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1670 in Strone on the north shore of Loch Katrine in Upper Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as the only known son of Walter Stewart in Strone. Duncan Stewart is known to us only by his testament dated 1710 in which he is identified as having a surviving wife, Janet Stewart, and two surviving children, John and Mary. The children's grandfather, Walter Stewart, was still alive and was acting as tutor to the children. It is presumed that Walter was Duncan's father, not Janet's father. As only two children are named, this would appear to indicate that John was young when he died. Thus, we estimate his birth to be c. 1670. The testament lists the livestock that are to be sold off and it appears there is a joint interest with Robert Stewart of Auchnahard (likely Janet Stewart's father or brother). There are some other interesting mentions, including Duncan Murray in Monachyle, John McLean in Mull and also possibly William Macdonald, brother of Sir Donald McDonald of Sleat (Skye). As Duncan Stewart would almost certainly have named his first son Walter, then we suggest he likely had such a son who died prior to 1710. As the births of their children predate the commencement baptism registrations in the parish of Callander, the dates of birth for the children are merely estimate. | Stewart, Duncan in Strongavaltrie (I17947)

| 2525 | Duncan Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1698 in Arrachiemore, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, as a son of John Stewart and Janet McInstalker, although no record of his birth has been found. Duncan Stewart is not listed in the 1717 or 1719 Buchanan Parish Examination Roll. In 1721, Duncan Stewart was recorded in the Buchanan Parish Examination Roll as residing at Tom Dubh on the Arrachie estate with his parents John Stewart and Janet McInstalker. Duncan Stewart's father, John Stewart, died about 1722, after the 1721 Examination Roll was taken and prior to the taking of the 1723 Examination Roll. Servant at Auchmar In 1723, Duncan Stewart was recorded in the Buchanan Parish Examination Roll as residing at Arrachiebeg with his widowed mother, Janet McInstalker. Duncan is listed first as the head of the household. Also residing with them were Angus McInstalker and Janet McIntyre. Also in 1723, Duncan Stewart was recorded in the Buchanan Parish Examination Roll as a servant to William Buchanan, 6th of Auchmar, along with Katherine McJock who is presumably his future sister-in-law. In 1725, Duncan Stewart was recorded in the Buchanan Parish Examination Roll as residing at Arrachiebeg with his widowed mother, Janet McInstalker. On 13 July 1725, Duncan Stewart married in Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland to Margaret McJock-alias-McFarlane. (Buchanan Parish Register) On Oct 15, 1726, Duncan Stewart and Margrat McJock were residing at Lagganurgh on the Arrachie estate when their son John was born. John's baptism was witnessed by John McKercher in Arrachiebeg and Walter McJock in Arrachieluig. (Buchanan Parish Register) In 1728, Duncan Stewart was recorded in the Buchanan Parish Examination Roll as residing at Arrachie Lurg with his wife, Margaret McJock, and Mary McJock, believed to be Margaret's sister. Their infant son, John Stewart, is not listed. Also residing with them were two household servants, Janet McGregor and John McGregor. On 24 Feb 1728, Duncan Stewart and Margaret McJock were residing in Arrachie Lurg, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, when their daughter Janet was born. Janet's baptism was witnessed by John McKercher in Arachiebeg and Walter McJock in Arachie Lurg. (Buchanan Parish Register) Move to Inchfad On 23 Sep 1729, Duncan Stewart and Margaret McJock were now living on the Isle of Inchfad on Loch Lomond, just offshore from Arrachiemore, in Buchanan parish, Stirlingshire, Scotland, when their son Alexander was born. Alexander's baptism was witnessed by John McInugator in Inchcaillagh and John Lord in Inchfad." (Buchanan Parish Register) It was around this time that the McFarlane family acquired Inchfad and established a government licensed distillery in place of the illicit distilleries operating on the island. Whisky was shipped to the city of Glasgow. On 29 Dec 1730 Duncan Stewart and Margaret McJock were residing on the Isle of Inchfad on Loch Lomond in Buchanan parish, Stirlingshire, Scotland, when their daughter Katherine was born. Katherine's baptism was witnessed by John Lenny in Inchfad and John McGlashalluin in Erochy Lurg. (Buchanan Parish Register) Return to Arrachie On 27 Jan 1733 Duncan Stewart and Margaret McFarlane alias McJock had returned to the mainland and were residing at Blair, Cashel, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, just north of the Arrachie estate when their daughter Margaret was born. Margaret's birth was witnessed by Donald McFarlane, taylor in Blair and Robert McInstalker at Mill of Arrachie. (Buchanan Parish Register) In 1733, Duncan Stewart and Margaret McJock were listed in the Buchanan Parish Examination Roll as residing at Gartlan Mor (listed as part of the Arrachie estate) between Blair and Mill of Arrachie, along with their children John Stewart, 7 years old, Janet and Alexander Stewart, who are described as “young about 7 years old”. In 1735, Duncan Stewart and Margaret McJock were listed in the Buchanan Parish Examination Roll as residing at Arrachie Mill along with their children John Stewart (9), Janet Stewart (7), Alex Stewart (6). Their infant daughter Margaret is not mentioned. Later that year, on 8 Nov 1735, Duncan Stewart, identified as a tailor in Arrachie Beg, and Margaret McJock alias McFarlane were residing at Arrachie Beg when their daughter Mary was born. Mary's baptism was witnessed by Archibald McLauchlane, Thomas Miller at Milln of Arachie, and George McFarlane. (Buchanan Parish Register) Duncan Stewart is presumed to have died about 1736 at Arrachiebeg, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, as he is not found in the 1737 Buchanan Parish Examination Roll residing with his wife Margaret and their children. | Stewart, Duncan Tailor in Arrachie (I30156)
|
| 2526 | Duncan Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1710 presumably in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland, although no record of his birth has been found. His parents are unknown. According to Stewarts of the South (written c. 1815) he had two brothers, Walter Stewart and Donald Stewart who were also subtenants at Strone, Upper Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. He is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan Stewart, [a] late subtenant of Stroin (Strowan) [on] Lochcathrineside left two sons: first son David now dead; 2[nd] son Walter Flesher in Glasgow is unmarried." | Stewart, Duncan in Strone (I29555)
|
| 2527 | Duncan Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1725 in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland, although his exact birth has not been identified. Duncan Stewart is presumed to have married about 1742 to Elizabeth Stalker, although no record of their marriage has been found. Duncan Stewart and his family resided initially at Ardcheanochdan, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, then moved about 1745 to Ballachling, south of Loch Venacher near Auchrigg in Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland. | Stewart, Duncan in Ballachling (I20933)
|
| 2528 | Duncan Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1740 in Spittal of Blarnavaid, Stirlingshire, Scotland, believed to be a younger son of John Stewart in Spittal of Blarnavaid, son of Walter Stewart in Easter Blarnavaid of A-Line, shown above. However, no record of Duncan's birth has been found and his exact date and place of birth are unknown. Either his baptism was not recorded, or, more likely, the record of it is so deteriorated that it is no longer legible. As such, there are likely extant records of other members of his family, so it may be possible to identify his likely family of origin within a range of probability, without having the evidence to confirm it. With that in mind, having reviewed all parish records for Drymen and neighbouring parishes, we can follow a process of elimination to reduce the number of plausible candiadate birth famiiies to only two. Duncan would best fit as either: a possible brother to Charles, Saddler in Buchlyvie a possible grandson of Duncan Stewart, tailor in Arrachie, via son John The anonymous author of Stewarts of the South gives us a clue to prefer the first of these two possible families over the other. In reference to Charles Stewart, the saddler in Buchlyvie (7-Line below), the author says: 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.... Duncan Stewart in Paddock-Ha (Puddockhall) has been identified elsewhere in our project as the brother of Charles Stewart in Garkechnie, not Charles Stewart, saddler in Buchlyvie. That family belongs to 2-Line of the Stewarts in Lower Duart and Grodich (III-Branch of the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran). The author has confused these two families, but that confusion may be revelatory. Even though the author identified the wrong Duncan Stewart as the brother of Charles Stewart, saddler in Buchlyvie, it suggests that Charles actually had a brother named Duncan, albeit not Duncan Stewart in Paddock-ha, and that the author simply got mixed up about which Duncan was the brother of which Charles. Given that this Duncan died about forty years before Stewarts of the South was written, that could explain the confusion. Between the two possible birth families identified for this Duncan Stewart, we have evidence to suggest that Charles Stewart, saddler in Buchlyvie, actually had a brother named Duncan for whom we have no further record. Whereas, we have no evidence that Duncan Stewart, tailor in Arrachie, actually had a grandson named Duncan by his son John, only that he could have. As we believe that Charles Stewart, saddler in Buchlyvie, was a younger son of John Stewart in Spittal of Blarnavaid, son of Walter Stewart in Easter Blarnavaid, then that would make this Duncan Stewart also a son of John Stewart in Spittal of Blarnavaid. (See notes on Charles Stewart in 7-Line below for more details on his birth.) Spittal of Blarnavaid is only about 3-4 km south of Auchalty where Duncan Stewart was residing at the time of his marriage. For these reasons, we suggest that, while Duncan Stewart's baptism registration has not been located, he was most likely a younger son of John Stewart in Spittal of Blarnavaid. Duncan Stewart married on 4 Apr 1771 in Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland to Agnes McFarlane. Their marriage was registered secondly on 13 Apr 1771 in Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland. Duncan Stewart was residing at Auchalty in Drymen parish (just south of Gartmore) at the time. "13 April - Duncan Stewart in Achaltie in this parish & Agnes McFarlan, lawful daughter to Andrew McFarlan in Sallachie in Buchanan parish listed for proclamation of Banns in Order to Marriage, and being duly proclaimed were married." (Drymen Parish Register) The corresponding entry in the Buchanan Parish Register gives us no additional information: "Duncan Stewart in the parish of Drymen and Agnes McFarlane in this parish gave up their names to be proclaimed in order to marriage." (Buchanan Parish Register) On 14 Jan 1772, Duncan Stewart and Agnes McFarlane had a son, John, born in Ardess, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland. Ardess is located on the east shore of Loch Lomond, north of Rowardennan, which property belonged to the earlier Stewarts of Coille Mor (Calziemore). This was their only recorded child. It is possible that they may have had other children whose baptisms were not recorded. No record of a prior or subsequent marriage has been found for either Duncan Stewart or Agnes McFarlane. Duncan Stewart's only known son, John Stewart, is identified in Stewarts of the South as belonging to 4-Line of the Stewarts of Coille Mor on Lochlomondside. Duncan Stewart died on 23 Oct 1773 in Ardess, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland. His death is recorded in the mortcloth records for Aberfoyle parish, which reads, "Oct 28th 1773 Duncan Stewart in Ardess in Buchanan. 0:4:0." | Stewart, Duncan in Ardess (I29883)
|
| 2529 | Duncan Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1754 in Stirlingshire, Scotland to unknown parents. He is NOT a son of Duncan Stewart in Kerse of Leckie as shown here. He is attached to Duncan temporarily to not lose track of him as he is related to Duncan by some unidentified means. Duncan Stewart in Denny is listed among the executors and nearest kin in the 1801 testament of Duncan Stewart in Kerse of Leckie. Their exact relationship is neither listed nor known. Duncan Stewart in Denny is presumed to be no more closely related than a nephew or cousin of some description. It is presumed that if he were a son, grandson, or brother, then he would have been identified as such in the testanment, rather than simply as nearest kin. | Stewart, Duncan in Denny (I29978)
|
| 2530 | Duncan Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1773 in Drepan, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as the youngest surviving son of Donald Stewart in Drepan, although no record of his birth has been found. Duncan Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South c. 1815 as: "Duncan, a shoemaker in Port Dundas at Glasgow. [He has] two sons." The names of Duncan's sons is unknown. Duncan Stewart and his sons have not been found in other records. | Stewart, Duncan Shoemaker in Port Dundas of Glasgow (I15561)
|
| 2531 | Duncan Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1794 in Lianach of Glenbuckie, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland as a son of James Stewart and Jean Stewart, although no record of his birth has been found. Duncan is known to us only because he is mentioned in Stewarts of the South, Section II, c. 1815, as being a son of James Stewart in Immervoulin: "Duncan, a smith at Aberfoil. [He has] one son a minor." Neither Duncan Stewart, nor his son, has been identified in later records. Every James Stewart son of Duncan Stewar born between 1800-1820 in Balquhidder, Aberfoyle, Callander, Kilmadock, and Port of Menteith parish has been accounted for. If this Duncan had a son and named him after his father, then his baptism record has not survived. --- The following are potential candidates, but have all been accounted for. STEWART, JAMES, son of DUNCAN STEWART/AGNES MCGREGOR, 04/06/1807 in Port Of Menteith -- went to Quebec. STEWART, JAMES, son of DUNCAN STEWART/MARY SANDS, 09/09/1812 in Port Of Menteith -- Puddock Hall STEWART, JAMES, son of DUNCAN STEWART/JANET STEWART, 06/03/1803 in Balquhidder -- in Auchleskine STEWART, JAMES, son of DUNCAN STEWART/AGNES MCDONALD, 04/07/1805 in Balquhidder in Dallanlaggan -- Duncan Stewart in Monachyle STEWART, JAMES, son of DUNCAN STEWART/CHRISTIAN STEWART, 05/05/1813 in Callander -- Duart -- oldest James in Glen Finglas.

|
| 2532 | Duncan Stewart is estimated to have been born abt 1755-1770, in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of Duncan Stewart in Coilantogle. His mother is unknown. Stewarts of the South, c. 1815, identifies Duncan as the eldest surviving son of Duncan Stewart in Coilantogle and describes him as: "Duncan, a labourer to the Earl of Murray near Doune Lodge. [He has] four sons: One of them in the Earl’s service; the rest are minors." Duncan is shown as having a younger brother, John, who was an innkeeper in Doune. Duncan Stewart is identified in the Appendix to Stewarts of the South, specifically residing at Colvey and as the brother of John Stewart in Doune. Colvey/Colveny is only 2.5 km from Doune Lodge (Cambus Wallace). The Kilmadock Parish Register shows Duncan Stewart and Christian Walker having children in Colveny between 1795-1814, which matches the age range and location listed in Stewarts of the South. Duncan Stewart married on 1 Dec 1794 in Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland to Christian Walker. The marriage was also registered on 30 Dec 1794 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. They had 8 children including six sons who are the correct ages to match with the descriptions in Stewarts of the South. As Stewarts of the South identifies only four sons then two of Duncan's sons must have been deceased by 1815. Only three of his sons have been found in later records: Robert, Archibald and Peter. ----- Stewarts of the South Appendix: "8. Duncan Stewart, tenant [in] Culvui (Cuilbhuidh), of the Glenbuckie family, industrious, [on] Buchanan of Auchleshie’s property, £20 9. John Stewart, his brother, [illegible*] in Doune property and lands, a real Christian of Bowles, the above family (Glenbuckie), [on the] Earl [of] Murray’s estate, £20" (* Likely "Innkeeper" or similar. These match the descriptions of Edraleachdach 4-Line.) --- Possible births for this family: Duncan Stewart and Margaret Wright who had two recorded children: 28 Oct 1770 Agnes, dtr of Duncan STEWART and Margaret WRIGHT in Burn of Cambus. Witt. Donald McCulloch in Doun and Donald McDonald in Burn of Cambus 14 Nov 1773 Daniel, son of Duncan STEWART and Margaret WRIGHT in Drummvourish (Drumvaich or Drumloist?). Witt. George and Andrew Mc? Both in Ballacrew --- While Duncan's family has later ties to the property of Portnellan, which might suggest a familial connection to the Stewarts in Portnellan, that family is descended from the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran, not Glenbuckie, and does not align with the descriptions in Stewarts of the South which shows this family descending from the Stewarts of Glenbuckie. | Stewart, Duncan in Colveny-Heads (I28644)

| 2533 | Duncan Stewart is identified by his baptism in the Port of Menteith parish register. Nothing more is known of him. | Stewart, Duncan (I27864)
|
| 2534 | Duncan Stewart is identified in Rev. Duncan Stewart's 1739 History of the Stewarts as being the third son of Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie: “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.” (Duncan Stewart (1739), p. 132.) We are chosing to identify this Duncan as Duncan "Oig" Stewart ("Young Duncan" or roughly equivalent to "Duncan Junior") in order to differentiate him from his father. Stewarts of the South agrees with Duncan Stewart (1739) in describing Duncan "Oig" Stewart as "Duncan Stewart, brother to Iain Du Beg of Glenbuckie" and goes on to say that he "had three sons: 1st Alexander, his Successor, James & Donald." He is also identified as the partriarch of III, IV, and V-Branches. However, the descriptors for these three branches contain contraditions and cannot be reconciled as described in the document. The accounting shown here represents our best attempt to reconcile the conflicting descriptions. According to Stewarts of the South, 1-Line of the Stewarts in Ardcheanochdan and Duart (III-Branch) were "were a long time foresters of Glenfinglas under [the] Glenbuckie family." | Stewart, Duncan Oig of III-IV-V Branch Forester in Glen Finglas (I15396)
|
| 2535 | Duncan Stewart is mentioned in miscellaneous notes in 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." If we have correctly accounted for this family it is not clear how he was father of John Stewart in Glenbuckie. The location of "Lack" has not been identified. | Stewart, Duncan in Lack (I15520)
|
| 2536 | Duncan Stewart is mentioned in Stewarts of the South in reference to his son, John: "John Stewart at Kirktown of Balquhidder, son to Duncan, late of Tulloch, has no family." | Stewart, Duncan in Tulloch (I15510)
|
| 2537 | Duncan Stewart is mentioned in Stewarts of the South only by name in relation to his son, James, as follows: The first line of his descendants I think is: a) James Stewart, tacksman of Easter & Wester Ward, Kincardine parish, on the Blair Drummond estate, is a gentleman farmer and bachelor. He is son of Duncan Stewart, once tacksman of Radnaik, Port parish General Graham of Bogtown - £350 rent. b) John Stewart, his brother, a farmer in Redhaugh [which is] Touch's estate, which now belongs to Murray of Polmaize, Stirlingshire. | Stewart, Duncan in Rednock (Line 1) (I20616)

| 2538 | Duncan Stewart is not found in the 1841 census and is presumed to have died as his parents named a later child by the same name in 1844. | Stewart, Duncan (I15247)
|
| 2539 | Duncan Stewart is not found with his parents in 1841 or any later records and is presumed to have died young. | Stewart, Duncan (I28548)
|
| 2540 | Duncan Stewart married late and had no children. In 1841 and 1851, Duncan Stewart was residing at Stronslaney, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, with his parents. In 1861, at age 22, Duncan Stewart was residing at Kirkton Farm, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland (just west of Stronslaney), in the home of Donald McLaren. He was employed as a shepherd. His sister Mary Stewart was residing with him and employed as a household servant. She would later marry Donald McLaren's son. In 1871, Duncan Stewart was residing in Balquhidder parish with his parents. The name of their residence is illegible. In 1881, at age 43, Duncan Stewart was residing at Stronslaney, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, with his elderly parents. He was employed as a farmer's son. In 1891, at age 53, Duncan Stewart was residing at Stronslaney, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, with his widowed father. He was employed as a farmer. It appears that he took over the family farm. Sometime between 1891-1901, Duncan's father, Alexander Stewart, died. It appears that the family vacated (sold?) Stronslaney farm at this time and Duncan moved away. In 1901, at age 63, Duncan Stewart was residing at Cowdenknowes Mains Farm House in Earlston, Berwickshire, Scotland, with his wife Margaret and his sister Grace McIntyre. He was employed as a farm manager. | Stewart, Duncan in Stronslaney (I25470)

| 2541 | Duncan Stewart was a labourer who lived with his widowed mother. | Stewart, Duncan (I15236)
|
| 2542 | Duncan Stewart was born 10 Apr 1719 in Culintogle, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as the son of James Stewart and Janet McKeoun. ("1719 - James Steuart and Janet McCoan in Culintogle had son born and baptized on 10th Aprile, named Duncan." -- Callander Parish Register) Duncan Stewart was the progenitor of 4-Line of the Stewarts in Edraleachdach. Stewarts of the South, c. 1815-1820, accounts for this family as follows: "Duncan Stewart, [a] late tacksman [at] Cuilanleogail [in] Callander parish [on the] Earl of Murray’s estate. [He] left three sons: 1. Duncan, a labourer to the Earl of Murray near Doune Lodge. [He has] four sons: One of them in the Earl’s service; the rest are minors 2.

| 2543 | Duncan Stewart was born 10 Feb 1766 in Coirchromby, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as the son of Alexander Stewart and Christian King. Duncan Stewart is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South (c. 1815) and is presumed to have died young. | Stewart, Duncan (I15560)
|
| 2544 | Duncan Stewart was born 10 Nov 1831 in Lianach of Glenbuckie, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of Donald Stewart in Lianach and Christian Stewart. In 1841, at age 10, Duncan Stewart was residing in Lianach of Glenbuckie, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings. Duncan Stewart has not been confidently identified in later records. | Stewart, Duncan (I15597)
|
| 2545 | Duncan Stewart was born 11 Apr 1802 on the Blair Drummond Moss in Kincardine by Doune parish, Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of John Stewart and Mary Reid. In 1814, at age 11, Duncan Stewart was residing at #9 Wood Lane on the Blair Drummond Moss in Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings. On 16 Dec 1832, Duncan Stewart married in Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, to Janet McLauchlane. Their marriage was also registered the next day on 17 Dec 1832 in Kilmadock parish. Duncan Stewart and Janet McLauchlane had two children, Catharine in 1834 and Mary in 1835. Janet and Mary do not appear in any later records. It is believed that mother and daughter may have died during or shortly after childbirth. In 1841, at age 33, Duncan Stewart was residing at Woodlane on the Blair Drummond Moss, Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, with his brother James Stewart and James' family. Duncan was employed as an agricultural labourer. His daughter Catharine was not living with him. She was living in the care of her maternal bachelor uncle, Duncan McLachlane. This would appear to suggest that Duncan Stewart was unable or unwilling to care for his young daughter. Duncan Stewart has not been found in the 1851 census or later records and is presumed to have died. --- Wood Lane No. 9 Former Possessor: John Cameron Present Possessor: John Stewart 59 yrs and Mary Reid 52 " Children Christian 28 yrs Margaret 26 " Jannet 24 " Agnes 20 " Mary 16 " James 15 " Duncan 11 " Persons deceased: None Years Settled on the Moss: 20 years Where they came from: Balquhidder Cats 1, Dogs -, Poultry 2, Swine 1, Sheep -, Cows 2, Horses 1, Harrows 1, Plough 1, Carts 1. | Stewart, Duncan in Woodlane (I15598)

|
| 2548 | Duncan Stewart was born 14 Jul 1756 in Ardcheanochdan, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of James Stewart and Jean Stewart. Duncan is not listed in Stewarts of the South Section II, c. 1815 as being one of the sons of James Stewart and is thus presumed to have died young. | Stewart, Duncan (I32275)

| 2549 | Duncan Stewart was born 15 Feb 1712 in Brig o' Turk, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as the oldest son of Walter Stewart and Agnes Stewart. "Feb'y 15 1712, Walter Stewart in Calander got with Agnes Stewart and had a male chiled baptized called Duncan. Witness J. Stewart." (Aberfoyle Parish Register) The baptism witness would be Duncan's uncle, John Stewart, 9th of Glenbuckie. (Note: Ancestry's index of the transcription of this entry gives Duncan's mother incorrectly as Jean Stewart.) Nothing more is known of Duncan's life. | Stewart, Duncan (I30669)
|
| 2550 | Duncan Stewart was born 16 Mar 1806 in Achra, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of John Stewart and Margaret McDonald. On 12 Jul 1829, Duncan Stewart married in Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, to Jean McLaren. Her family were at Westwood lane on the Blair Drummond Moss, however her parents came from Lochearnside close to Duncan's birth place of Achra. The marriages was also recorded in the parish of Drymen: "Duncan Stewart, labourer, at Bohellecan in this parish (Drymen), and Jane McLaren, daughter of John McLaren, farmer at Mime? in the parish of Kincardine listed for proclamation of banns this 11th day of July, 1829." (Drymen Parish Register) In 1835, "Duncan and Mrs Stewart, [and] Margaret Stewart in Bohellachan" were listed in the Drymen Parish Communion Examination Roll. This would be Duncan and his wife and his widowed mother. In 1841, at age 30, Duncan Stewart was residing at Little Mill, Boquapple, Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and several of their children. He was employed as a miller. In 1851, at age 52, Duncan Stewart was residing at Little Mill, Boquapple, Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and several of their children. He was employed as a miller. In 1861, at age 65, Duncan Stewart was residing at Little Mill, Boquapple, Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and two of their children and two grandchildren. He was employed as a miller.
