| 2801 | George's actual birth date is not know. The date shown here is merely an approximation. | Kenneth, George (I8592)
|
| 2802 | George's baptism is mis-transcribed in the IGI as "George Harther". | Horsley, George (I7796)
|
| 2803 | George's baptism is recorded in Kilmadock parish, Perthshire, Scotland while census records indicate that he was born in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. George married and had descendants who are beyond the scope of this research project. George was one of the petitioners in the Glasingall trial. 23. Retour of the General Service of the claimant George H Munro Binning Home therein named George Binning heir of provision under said Contract of Marriage and of line of the said Miss Sophia Home or Binning his mother expede before the Sheriff of Edinburgh on 24 March 1813 24.

|
| 2804 | George's birth is recorded in Callander, but LDS submissions also show him born in Auchtertool, Fife, Scotland. | Ramsay, George (I12636)
|
| 2805 | George's birth record gives his father's occupation as "farmer." | McLaren, George (I10264)
|
| 2806 | George's exact date of birth and parents are unknown. His date of birth as shown here is merely an estimation. The only basis we have to establish a dating for George is that he was alive in 1411 and old enough to be in command of a significant army. It was in 1411 that George Cuthbert of Castlehill commanded the forces raised by the town of Inverness at the Battle of Harlaw in 1411 against Donald, Lord of the Isles. During the battle, George was able to get close enough to Donald of the Isles to seize his standard. George, along with the rest of the Royal Forces were successful in repelling, but not defeating Donald. George Cuthbert is accounted as "1st of Castlehill" because he is the earliest verified ancestor of the family of Castlehill. According to Shaw, the Cuthberts acquired Castlehill by marriage "during the reign of David II" (1329-1371). Such a date range could coincide with either George's father's marriage or possibly his grandfather's, or maybe even his great-grandfather's. If the latter, then it would agree with the Colbert Genealogy. Unfortunately family records were destroyed on three occasions: by the invasions of Edward of England, by the Protestant Reformers and during the Jacobite risings. Thus, the early history of the Cuthberts is poorly documented. George's wife is not known for certain, but according to Colbert he married Mary ROSS daughter of Hugh ROSE Baron of Kilravock and Marie or Margaret MACDONALD of Glengarry. | Cuthbert, George (I3194)
|
| 2807 | George's family came from Forres, Elgin, Scotland. | McDonald, George Stevenson (I9571)
|
| 2808 | George's first name is not recorded in the OPR, but Bulloch records that George was born posthumously two months after his father's death in 1748 which matches with the baptismal record. George went to Jamaica and served as a representative in the Assembly for Port Royal and later as Provost Marshal General of Jamaica; 1785-1788 in which office he was succeeded by his brother, Lewis. According to Bulloch, after George's father's death, the estate of Castlehill fell to creditors and was partially saved by George's uncle Abbé Alexander Cuthbert-alias-Colbert and secondly by the purchase of this George Cuthbert who then became proprietor of the family estate. However, George had barely rescued the estate from creditors when he died 17 JUN 1789 without a will. Castle Hill then passed to his brother Lewis. Not quite. It would appear, that Bulloch glosses over much in the complicated transition of the estate through this period. What appears to be more precisely the case that when George Cuthbert, 12th of Castlehill died in 1748 leaving the estate financially encumbered, then his next lawful heir, James Cuthbert (only 16 at the time and not yet a doctor) was too young to handle the debts and the estate was passed laterally, by purchase, to George's brother, the Abbé Alexander Colbert, 13th of Castlehill, who must have been somewhat, if not wholly, successful in his efforts to rescue the estate from creditors as he held the estate in his own right for another 30 years until his own death in 1782. Upon the death of the Abbé Colbert the next lawful heir was this George's brother, Dr. James Cuthbert, however he may have been elderly or deceased and unable to assume the burden of the estate as it passed over James to his eldest son, Joseph Cuthbert in Savannah Georgia. It would appear that it required about two years of legal efforts for Joseph to claim his inheritance. The estate then passed quickly to this George Cuthbert which seems to imply that Joseph could not handle the debts of the estate and this George purchased Castlehill from his nephew Joseph. On 20 Jan 1785, George appointed his elder brother, Lewis Cuthbert, as his attorney regarding his estate in Inverness. On 31 Dec 1788, George appointed Robert Jamieson, Writer to the Signet, Edinburgh, Scotland, as his factor. However, no sooner had George managed to settle the estate upon himself then he promptly died on 17 JUN 1789 and Castlehill passed to George's older brother, Lewis. It would appear that Lewis, too, felt the burden of the estate's debts as there is a deed dated May 1795, showing the lands of Castlehill being conveyed to Messrs. Abram Roberts and Company in London, England. Thus Castlehill passed forever out of the hands of the Cuthbert family.

|
| 2809 | George's identity is uncertain and is inferred from family correspondence. It is believed that he inherited the estate and title of Annat in Rait from his brother and that he also died without male issue and passed the estate on to the descendants of his uncle George Moody-Stuart. | Moody-Stuart, George W 6th of Annat in Rait (I11003)
|
| 2810 | George's marriage record indicates that his father's name was Robert, however on the births of his children he signs his name as "George Eady Junr." Perhaps his grandfather was also George. | Eady, George (I5572)
|
| 2811 | George's mother is shown as a widow in the 1871 census, which makes it impossible for George to have been born in Dec 1872 as the 1901 census claims. We must presume that George was born in Dec 1871 and that his Francis died just after Jessie became pregnant with George. | Gordon, George Henry (I6690)
|
| 2812 | George's wife is unknown. He is found in 1861 and 1871 residing in Carse of Delnies, Nairn, Scotland with his widowed mother, his two children shown here, and also with his spinster sisters, Jessie, and Annie. In 1861 his mother is shown as head and George is shown as a ploughman. In 1871 he is also shown with a 12 year old Isabella Campbell, domestic servant, who could be a niece. | Cuthbert, George (I3177)

| 2823 | GIDEON UNDERWOOD, the oldest practicing physician in Luzerne county, was born at Forty Fort December 3, 1819, a son of Gideon and Sarah (Brown) Underwood, natives of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, respectively, and among the pioneers of the Wyoming Valley. Of a family of ten children, our subject is the only survivor. He was reared on a farm, and educated in the public schools and a private academy at Wilkes-Barre. He began the study of medicine in 1842, under George Wurts, of Kingston, and in 1846 was graduated from Geneva Medical College, Geneva, New York. He at once began the practice of his profession in Scranton, removing to North Moreland in 1848, and thence, in the same year, to Pittston, where he has since resided. Dr. Underwood married, February 3, 1848, Martha, daughter of Elisha and Martha (Harding) Newman. Her father, born in 1791, is still living at the age of one hundred and one years, and resides in Bradford county, Pa. The issue of this marriage was the following children: Caroline (Mrs. Henry Coward), Edwin N., Helen M. (Mrs. Rev. F. A. Falkner), Walter S., George F., Charles S. and Sanford L., a student in the Medical department of the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Underwood has been a member of the Broad Street M.E. Church since 1848, and through all its trials and troubles one of its stanchest supporters. He is a member of the I.O.O.F., K. of P., T. of H. and G.A.R.; during the war he was assistant surgeon of the Forty-ninth Pennsylvania Volunteers. In politics, he is a Republican and an advocate of Prohibition. http://www.usgwarchives.org/pa/Luzerne/1893hist/1893bios/93u.htm | Underwood, Gideon (I19855)

| 2824 | Gilbert is recorded as a natural son. His real birth mother is unknown. | Drummond, Gilbert (I4832)
|
| 2825 | Gilbert Wrong lived on the farm until the War of 1812 broke out. He then joined the forces as an Ensign. After the Americans crossed the Niagara River at Queenston, General Isaac Brock rode up from Niagara-on-the-Lake, saw the situation, and sent Gilbert to Chippewa with a message to the commander of the forces there. When Gilbert got back to Queenston, Brock was already dead, but the Americans had been driven back across the river. Gilbert was a musician and wrote a song that was apparently popular during the war years. Gilbert and his family have not been found in the 1851 census. | Wrong, Gilbert (I19641)
|
| 2826 | Gille Domnan has been elsewhere shown as Gille Adomnan = "servant of Adam". Stirnet.com wrongly corrupts his name to be "Orila Dumnan" -- probably a transcription error. Gille Domnan succeeded Marcus as King of the Isles, but it is not certain that he was actually the son of Marcus. Marcus was defeated by the Scandinavians and was expelled to Ireland where he is believed to have died. His grandson, Somerled, reclaimed the Isles in 1140 and founded the dynasty of the Lords of the Isles. | Domnan, Gille (I5055)
|
| 2827 | Gillebride is also known as "Gille Brighid" or "servant of Brigit". Brigit is the name of an Irish goddess, later co-opted as a Christian saint. Thus, Gillebride was probably a servant of the church of St. Brigit. | Morven, Gillebride of (I11157)

| 2838 | Glen died tragically at work on the railroad in British Columbia. An interesting trait with the Tasker family is that, at least for this generation, it appears that everyone was referred to by a reduction of their middle name.

| 2845 | Gordon MacGregor (The Red Book of Scotland) gives no further information on Alan other than his name. | Stewart, Alan (I22779)
|
| 2846 | Gordon MacGregor (The Red Book of Scotland) lists this Dugald as first in his chapter on the Stewarts of Achancone, but he does not enumerate him as "1st" of Achnacone. Earlier, in his chapter on the Stewarts of Appin, he shows Dugald Stewart, 1st of Achnacone, as being a younger son of Allan Stewart, 3rd of Appin. It is chronologically impossible for them to be the same Dugald Stewart as they lived about 75 years apart. There must be at least one, if not possibly two, intervening generations between them. Presumably this is why MacGregor does not enumerate the later Achnacone Stewarts, but merely refers to them as "of Achnacone." Stewart & Stewart (The Stewarts of Appin, 1880) lament that the Achnacone family papers have been lost so the intervening generations are unknown. MacGregor has succeeded in filling in some of those missing generations from other sources. | Stewart, Dugald of Achnacone (I22932)
|
| 2847 | Gordon MacGregor (The Red Book of Scotland) says that Donald Stewart of Auchnacone married Mary, a daughter of Donald Campbell of Auchanard. It is not certain if this is the same place as Auchnahard in Glen Finglas, but it would make sense that it is. | Campbell, Mary of Auchanard (I23016)
|
| 2848 | Gordon MacGregor (The Red Book of Scotland) says, "Alexander Stewart, who is said to have had two sons, both of whom served in the Appin Regiment and were killed at the battle of Culloden, in April 1746." | Stewart, Alexander 3rd of Acharn (I20894)
|
| 2849 | Gordon MacGregor (The Red Book of Scotland) says, "Duncan Stewart, in Stronvar, subscribed a Bond of Friendship with Alexander Stewart of Ardvorlich, and other local Stewarts, to Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy on 17 September 1623 in which he is styled 'Duncan MacRobert Stewart in Stronvar.' He married Janet, daughter of Alexander Stewart, 1st of Ardvorlich, and had issue: Robert Stewart of Glenogle, who was infeft in the lands of Auchanlocholithie, Glenogle and Ballinluig on 3 June 1657." The marriage between Duncan MacRobert Stewart of Glenogle and Janet Stewart of Ardvorlich, made Duncan a brother-in-law to the clan chief. In 1763, Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, dictated his maternal family tree through the Stewarts of Glenogle. It shows the Stewarts of Glenogle originating with Robert Stewart, son of Alexander Stewart, 2nd of Gartnafuaran. Then it shows a blank generation followed by Capt. Duncan Stewart of Glenogle. As that is chronologically impossible, it is more likely that the blank intervening generation actually represents multiple unknown generations, and was simply intended to indicate that the Stewarts of Glenogle originate with Robert Stewart, son of Alexander Stewart, 2nd of Gartnafuaran. 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.) Duncan's patronymic makes it likely that he was the son of Robert Stewart of Glenogle. However, the chronology here is a little challenging. It's possible there is an extra generation missing in our accounting. The Ardvorlich History mentions a Duncan McRobert Stewart in Glenogle in 1628. This is the first mention of Duncan being in possession of Glenogle. In 1622 Duncan's nephew, Andrew, was in possession of Glenogle, but Andrew suffered from some unspecified troubles with the Privy Council for which he was pursued. It is our suggestion that Andrew's legal problems resulted in his inability to continue in Glenogle sometime between 1622-1628 and that Glenogle then passed semi-laterally to Andrew's uncle Duncan MacRobert. Duncan Stewart (1739) shows a "Duncan Stewart of Glenogle" at this time being married to Janet Stewart, daughter of Alexander Stewart, 1st of Ardvorlich. The Duncan Stewart in question must be this Duncan. Thus, we show that Duncan MacRobert Stewart married ABT 1620 in Balquhidder or Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland to Janet Stewart of Ardvorlich. She was born ABT 1580 in Ardvorlich, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland as the daughter of Alexander Stewart, 1st of Ardvorlich. Duncan is suggested as father of the following children, however it is not certain that Janet would be mother to all of them. The Murder of Lord Kilpont Duncan MacRobert Stewart was 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, Duncan MacRobert was 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 Andrew's son Walter Stewart in Glenfinglas. As Duncan MacRobert Stewart seems to have come into possession of the entirety of the family's land holdings, it is our suggestion that he assigned his senior property, Glenogle, to his eldest son and his next property, Monachyle, to his second son and his next property, Auchtow, to his third son. However, these are merely guesses on our part in an effort to try to reconcile incomplete data. | Stewart, Duncan MacRobert 2nd of Glenogle and Stronvar (I15799)
|
| 2850 | Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, interprets Stewarts of the South as showing that Duncan Stewart had three sons: Alexander, James (who had issue) and Donald. | Stewart, Alexander (I20134)
