| 2955 | General Notes: Charles was licensed by the Presbytery of Kintyre on January 28, 1708 and he was ordained in his one and only charge, the Highland Kirk of Campbeltown, on May 5, 1709. He presided over his congregation for fifty-five years. The descendants of the Rev. Charles Stewart (1682-1765) Minister of the Highland or Gaelic speaking Church in Campbeltown from 1708 till his death claimed that he was the son of an Archibald Stewart who in turn was the son of Sir Archibald Stewart of Blackhall. This is obviously inaccurate, at least on the basis of the published genealogies. (http://www.kintyremag.co.uk/1999/30/page11.html ) | Stewart, Rev. Charles (I15034)

| 2971 | George Brown is mentioned in Ruth Brown's family tree where he is shown as one of four sons of an unknown Brown who came from Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA to Kingston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, USA in 1786. The four sons are named as: George, Alexander, James and William. No further information is given about the sons, except William. Their father's name is not given. According to Plumb's 1885 History of Hanover Township, George Brown was a son of Alexander Brown and Mary Tyler. He is said to have "went away", or moved away from Luzerne County. Nothing further is known of his later whereabouts or his descendants. | Brown, George (I1944)
|
| 2972 | George Brown was born in 1854. In 1860, George Brown was residing in Hanover, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA, with his widowed father and siblings. In 1870, at age 16, George Brown was residing in nearby Kingston, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA, with the family of William Casner. He was employed as a labourer. His place of employment is not listed but he was living with a group of unrelated labourers. The next previous person on the same census page not listed as a labourer was a miner, suggesting that George may have been employed with a mining company. George has not been confidently identified in 1880, however there is a matching George A Brown, born abt 1855 in Pennsylvania, and residing in Falls, Chase, Kansas, USA, employed as a stone builder. It is not certain that he is the same George A Brown, but no other match has been found in 1880, and this match would fit with George's migration west to be found in Denver, Colorado in 1900. In 1897, at age 43, George Brown married 32-year-old widow, Paula Gates, who had a five year old son at the time. This is according to the 1900 census which shows them has being married 3 years. The location of their marriage is not given, but Denver is presumed. In 1900, George Brown was residing in Denver, Colorado, USA, with his wife, Paula Gates, and her son from a previous relationship. Robert Gates. Robert is recorded as a stepson of George Brown. George was employed as a stone cutter. In 1904, at age 50, George Brown, married 16 year old Lulu Porter. It is presumed that Paula Gates had previously died. Lulu is found in 1900, at 12 years of age, residing Chaffee County, Colorado, USA, just west of Denver, with her parents and siblings. There is no further record of her. She is presumed to have died before 1910. In 1910, George Brown was residing in Denver, Colorado, USA in a bording house and was recorded as being single. In 1919, George Brown died in Denver and was buried back in Hanover, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA. The beneficiaries listed in his will include only siblings and nephews and nieces. There is no mention of Robert Gates. | Brown, George A. (I1945)

| 2974 | George Buchanan in [_______narg/nary/nurg/nury] Isabel Nobel daughter baptized called Agnes. [Witnesses illegible." (Buchanan Parish Register) | Buchanan, Agnes (I31772)
|
| 2975 | George Buchanan, husband of Isabel Nobel, and father of the four daughters shown here, is suspected, but not confirmed to be George Buchanan, younger son of George Buchanan, 3rd of Auchmar. They are the same age and in the same location and his daughter married a descendant of the Stewarts of Coillemore. George Buchanan, younger of Auchmar's nephew also married a Stewart of Coillemore. George Buchanan's mother was a Stewart of Blairgarry. The Stewarts of Blairgarry and Coillemore were both senior cadet branches of the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran. Buchanan of Auchmar's History says the following about George Buchanan, son of George Buchanan, 3rd of Auchmar: "George Buchanan had one son William, who married at London and left a son, James, who in 1723 was a merchant in London." (Auchmar, p. 191. as quoted in The Buchanan Book, by Alexander Buchanan) The phrase "had one son" is open to wide interpretation of meaning. It could mean that George had "only one son" and no other children. It could mean that George had only one son and the rest of his children were daughters. It could mean that George had only one surviving son and the rest of them died young without children of their own. It could mean that George had several sons but only one of them was noteworthy. George Buchanan is presumed to have married about 1645 to Isabel Nobel, although no record of their marriage has been found. George Buchanan and Isabel Nobel had five documented children, all daughters, between 1648-1662. The Buchanan parish register did not commence recording marriages and baptisms until 1646, so it is possible they could have had earlier children whose baptisms were not recorded. It is also the likely reason why there is no marriage record for them. No birth record has been found for William, son of George Buchanan, so his mother's name is not known. But it is possible that George Buchanan and Isabel Nobel could have had an unrecorded son, William. Auchmar does not mention any daughters to George Buchanan, nor does he say that George Buchanan had ONLY one son William and no daughters. It would be unlikely that a man in that era would have only one child, so it is plausible that George Buchanan, husband of Isabel Nobel, is the same George Buchanan who was son of George Buchanan, 3rd of Auchmar. George was residing at Gartfairn in Buchanan parish, near the Kirkton and just south of Auchmar. The later Buchanan in Gartfairn family is the same family who moved to Glasgow as businesspersons and built Auchmar House in Glasgow, then immigrated to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and built another Auchmar House in Hamilton. They have not been traced any earlier than John Buchanan in Little Croy whose birth has not been found, but he is likely a descendant of an earlier branch of Auchmar. His eldest son was George, so John was likely born | Buchanan, George in Gartfairn (I30994)

| 2976 | George changed his name from George Home Stewart to George Stewart Home in order to inherit the estate of Argaty. He succeeded his father in the lands of Argaty and his uncle in the lands of Ballachallan and Annat. Upon George's death the estates of Ballachallan, Annat and Argaty passed to his daughter Sophia who married and the estates passed outside the Stewarts. George's brothers all sued Sophia trying to claim the estates to keep them in Stewart hands, but they were unsuccessful. (MacGregor) 15.

| 2977 | George Dick was from Stirling, Scotland. Whether or not George Dick was related to William Dick (6 May 1793 – 4 April 1866), founder of the Dick Vet School in Edinburgh in 1823, warrants future research. William Dick was born in White Horse Close on the Canongate on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile on 6 May 1793 to Jane (Jean) Anderson (c.1765–1837) and John Dick (1769-1844). His father was a blacksmith and farrier who had moved from Aberdeen with his wife, six years prior to William being born. | Dick, George (I31919)

| 2980 | George Graham must have been born in the late 1690s and was the son of Robert Grahame of Shannochill, the elder. George was probably born at Shannochill/ between Polder and Gartur and established friendships with surrounding landholders. According to document GD86/854 he was old enough to be a tutor in 1615 and was a friend of John Grahame in Blaircessnoch, James Grahame, elder of Gartur and David Forrester of Polder. All these locations are just south of Port of Menteith. George was living twelve miles west at Gartforran (Gartfairn?) at that time. https://allanstewartsmith.blogspot.com/2016/09/part-four-macfarlane-clan.html | Graham, George at Mill of Drummond (I30756)

| 2981 | George H Steuart was an American diplomat and Foreign Service officer, and one of the last consuls of the United States of America in Liverpool, England. He was a major benefactor of the Mary Ball Washington Museum and Library in Lancaster, Virginia, donating by deed of gift the Steuart Blakemore Building, formerly known as the Old Post Office. Steuart attended Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, and began his career in public service with the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the National Youth Administration. During World War II, he was chief of accounting administration with the Board of Economic Warfare, after which he served in Cairo, Egypt, with the Foreign Economic Administration. After the War, he joined the Foreign Service and was assigned to London, Geneva and Liverpool, where he became consul. The Liverpool consulate had been the first established by the then fledgling United States, opened in 1790 by the first consul, James Maury. At the time, Liverpool was an important center for transatlantic commerce with the former Thirteen Colonies. The consulate in Liverpool was Steuart's final posting. He retired from the Foreign Service in 1965, and became a business consultant with James Somerville Associates, and manager of the Washington office of Commonwealth Associates, an architectural and engineering firm. By a deed of gift executed on July 29, 1986, Steuart donated the Old Post Office building in Lancaster, Virginia, to the Mary Ball Washington Museum and Library in Lancaster, renaming the building the Steuart Blakemore Building in honor of his parents. It now constitutes one of the five historic buildings in the museum complex. (Wikipedia) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_H._Steuart_(diplomat) | Steuart, George Hume (I21545)

|
| 2983 | George Hume Steuart was a Confederate General and a slave owner. He fought fervently to preserve slavery in the American Civil War. He even openly stated that Abraham Lincoln's election as president was invalid because of the number of black people who voted for him. He is not to be confused with his same-named son who was also a Confederate General. George was born in Anne Arundell County, Maryland, USA, and grew up on his parents' slave plantation, Sparrow's Point. His father also owned a second major estate in Baltimore called Maryland Square, later renamed Steuart Hall. George initially served as a captain during the War of 1812 when he raised a company of Maryland volunteers, leading them at both the Battle of Bladensberg and the Battle of North Point in 1814. After the war he rose to become a major general and commander-in-chief of the First Light Division, Maryland Militia. In 1828, George served on the board of the Maryland State Colonization Society, a branch of the American Colonization Society, an organization dedicated to returning black Americans to lead free lives in African states such as Liberia. That sounds generous and benevolent, but what it really meant was they were so opposed to living amongst free black people that they preferred to have them shipped back to any country in Africa, regardless of where they came from, rather than to see them live free in the USA. In 1838, George inherited from his uncle William Steuart half of the family's extensive estates about 2000 acres, including Mount Stewart, and 125 slaves, but excluding Dodon itselt, which went to George's brother Richard. In 1846, when his father died, George inherited his father's Baltimore estate of Maryland Square. The number of slaves he inherited from his father is unknown. The 1850 Census Slave Schedule shows George owning 152 slaves ranging in age from 1 to 75. During John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859 (a failed slave uprising), Steuart personally led a detachment of militia to thwart the uprising. He later lobbied unsuccessfully for Maryland to secede from the Union and join the Confederate states. The 1860 Census Slave Schedule shows George owning 115 slaved and his brother, Richard Sprigg Steuart owning 111. In 1861, at the start of the Civil War, Steuart wrote derisively about the conduct of fellow Maryland citizens who supported the northern Union and opposed slavery. He was so determined to support the slavers' cause that he left his home state of Maryland and joined the Confederacy, though at 71 years of age he was by then considered too old for active service. This did not prevent him from personally riding with General Robert E. Lee's army and even being captured at the First Battle of Manassas. After vacating his homes in Maryland, his estate of Maryland Square was seized by the Federal Government and turned into a military camp and hospital. After the war, Maryland Square was returned to him, but he was forced to auction it off and his family never lived there again. It is fair to say that George was a substantial slave owner and fought tooth and nail to remain so, and failed. On 6 Nov 1866, George received a presidential pardon from President Andrew Johnson. See extensive wiki for more information. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_H._Steuart_(militia_general) -------- Obituary Death of Major Gen. George H. Steuart. -- This well known citizen died in this city yesterday, in the 77th year of his age. Previous to the late war, General Steuart for some twenty years commanded the First Light Division of Maryland militia, and in his younger days represented the city in the State Legislature. He was also at one time a member of the city council. During the late war with Great Britain the deceased was one of the brave men who defended the city of Baltimore when attacked by General Ross. Shortly after the late civil difficulties commeced, leading to war, General Steuart went south, where he resided privately, mostly at Chrlottesville, Va., and after the war went to Europe, where he remained until within some four or five months. At the first battle of Manassas General Steuart was present as a spectator, and was taken prisoner by the United States Forces, but on the fact becoming known that he was not engaged in actual hostiilities, he was promptly released. He returned to this city, as above indicated, some months since, in the steamship Carroll, from Liverpool, in enfeebled health, brought on by advanced age. General Steuart was of an active temperament, a gentleman of the old school, and his death will be regretted by numberous friends.

His first ancestor in this country was Dr. George Hume Steuart, a graduate of the University of Edinburgh, who settled near Annapolis. Md. in 1721 on a large grant of land. He was the first of the family to change, the spelling of the name from Stewart to Steuart in compliment to the unhappy fate of the sister of King Charles II of England who escaped to France in those troublesome times. The late Dr. Steuart was the eighth doctor of medicine in the past 200 years of this family. His active pallbearers were Mr. Willie George, Mr. John D. Smith, Mr. Otiss Kirkham, Mr. Vivian Chowning. | Steuart, Dr. George Hume MD (I21544)
|
| 2985 | George immigrated about 1853 or 1854 to Queensland, Australia either with his brother David, or shorthly after. | Ord, George (I12135)
|
| 2986 | George inherited the Mountsberg family farm. He was the fourth generation of Stewarts to live in the Mountsberg log cabin. | Stewart, George Alexander (I15839)
|
| 2987 | George is buried in the Skirpenbeck Churchyard. His age at death is recorded as 69. The earliest occurances of the name Haddlesay in the parish of Skirpenbeck are those of the baptisms of George's children. This would suggest that George was born outside the parish. | Haddlesey, George (I7245)
|
| 2988 | George is described in Stewarts of the South as "George, their uncle, [is] a shoemaker in Callendar [and] has one son unmarried." However, it appears that he is not the uncle to the children so referenced, rather he is their cousin. It appears that Stewarts of the South has the relationship incorrect. But given the very late marriage of John Stewart and the fact that his children were much younger than George Stewart's, the confusion is understandable. It's also possible that given the fact that George, although a first cousin, was much older, that John's children may have referred to him as "Uncle George". George is listed in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Kilmahog Cemetery #32: "32 George STEUART, feuar (at) Callander, died 1 FEB 1835, age 77, wife Janet MCVEY, 25 JAN 1843, age 73." | Stewart, George in Tarnduin (I15814)
|
| 2989 | George is described in Stewarts of the South as: "George, a gardener in Northampton in England." George has not been found in 1841/51 census records. This reference is problematic in that it is chronologically challenging (though not impossible) for George to have been born in 1803 and been old enough to be working as a gardener in Northampton at the time that Stewarts of the South was written ca. 1818-1821. | Stewart, George (I15828)
|
| 2990 | George is found in 1881 census living with his father, (recorded as "W.C. Taylor") and William's second family. George's marriage record gives his parents' names as William C. and Jeanette Taylor. In the 1891 census George's father is recorded as being born in the USA and his mother in Canada. In 1901, George is shown with an adopted son, William Taylor, born 5 JUN 1897, believed to be the son of George's brother William Taylor III. George Taylor married on 13 APR 1887 in Dresden, Kent County, Ontario, Canada to Margaret WICKENS b: 26 SEP 1864 in Ontario, Canada. It is believed that they had no children of their own. | Taylor, George A (I18837)
|
| 2991 | George is not confirmed as a son of Samuel Harrold. (See Samuel's notes for more information). George is found in the Hardingstone parish records as having a wife Mary and a daughter Hannah as shown here. They have not been found in any census records. George's birth date as shown here is purely a guess. | Harrold, George (I7609)
|
| 2992 | George is not found in 1881 with his wife and children. She was shown as "single." | Shafer, George (I13707)
|
| 2993 | George is not found in later records and is presumed to have died young or emigrated prior to 1841. | Stewart, George (I15832)
|
| 2994 | George is not identified by name in Stewarts of the South, but he matches the description of the following son of Robert Stewart in Ruskie: "Another son is a Major and farmer in Gartmore [in] Port [of Menteith] Parish. [He] has three sons (sic, only two sons have been identified) [and pays annual] rent £20." He also partially matches this description: "One of them [is] a saddler in Greenock [and is] unmarried." However, he was married with children at the time of writing of Stewarts of the South. Ancestry's "Select Counties, Scotland, Church of Scotland, Marriages, 1615-1854" shows an additional marriage for George Stewart and Catharine Cairns on 17 Nov 1805 in Port of Menteith that is not found at ScotlandsPeople. As Ancestry's "Seclect Counties..." is a transcription conducted by volunteers, ScotlandsPeople is to be preferred as correct here. The 1805 marriage is disregarded. | Stewart, Maj. George in Gartmore (I15834)
|
| 2995 | George is not identified by name in Stewarts of the South, but his family is described as: "There is another branch of that family in Monteith that says that they are of the family of Grandtully. They have been for a long time under the Lairds of Lendrick of the name of Haldane. [They are] a respectable family." --- Leads: Andrew Stewart and Agnes Graham in Ballebeg (no info in Kincardine) (blank) F 5/6/1698 Andrew ___ Graham Walter M 5/10/1699 Andrew in Ballabeg Alexander M 17/10/1700 Andrew Agnas Grahame in Tombrack Patrick Stewart (b abt 1710) and Grisel Buchanan in Lochend (no marriage in POM or Kincardine) Robert M 13/5/1733 Pat.

|
| 2996 | George lived with his parents for his entire life. He never married nor had children. He may be the George Brown who enlisted for the army at age 22 in February 1870 and deserted three months later. George is not found in records after 1880 and is presumed to have died. | Brown, George (I19897)
