| 3001 | George Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1695 in Blarnavad, Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, as a son of Walter Stewart and Helen Buchanan, although no record of his birth has been found. George Stewart had relations with Janet McAuley with whom he had an illegitimate child on 21 Jan 1722. "Jan 21st 1722, Jonat McAuley being summoned as appointed compeared and Dilator George Stewart son of Walter Stewart in Easter Blarnavaid as father of her child grayson(?) The said Jonnat McAuley was exhorted to be earnest to God for repentance and the sd George ordained to be summoned against ys day eight days ane the ordained to attend the said day the Session closed with prayer.” (Drymen Kirk Session Minutes) George Stewart had relations with Marian McKenrick with whom he had an illegitimate son, Archibald, on 1 Oct 1723. On 13 July 1728 in Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, George Stewart (finally) married Marian McKenrick. They had four more documented children and possibly others. The 1732 Drymen Parish Communion Roll lists George Stewart and (his brother) John Stewart, both in Blarnavad, paying £00:06:00. It is inferred from this reference that George is the elder brother as he is listed first. George Stewart and his family disappear from records after 1734. Their later whereabouts is unknown. | Stewart, George in Blarnavaid (I30971)

| 3002 | George Stewart is shown in the Kilmadock OPR as born in 1675 in Balachallan. MacGregor shows George as having married in 1713 to Mary Hume of Argaty, however no record of their marriage has been found with a specific date. Belinda Dettman shows them as parents of an unnamed child in 1706 from the Kilmadock OPR, suggesting their marriage was likely as early as 1705. Duncan Stewart (1739) says the second son of John Stewart of Annat was "Duncan, who purchased Ballachallan, whose son, George, married Mary Hume, daughter to Hary Hume of Argaty, by whom he had David, now of Balachallan, George, a surgeon in Maryland, James, William, and several daughters." Through marriage, George acquired the property of Argaty. The name Argaty (sometimes shown as Ardgaty) derives from the Gaelic aird, meaning "height", and gaoth, meaning "wind" and thus means "windy height". Argaty is a farm estate located just over a mile northeast of Doune. Argaty was originally part of the Doune estate, property of the former Dukes of Albany, ancestors of George Stewart. When the House of Stewart of Albany was brought down and executed, their lands were forfeited to the Crown and Argaty was among the forfeited properties. After the forfeiture, the Crown granted the lands of Argaty to John Sinclair, Esquire to the King's Chamber. The property passed to Sinclair's younger daughter who married Patrick Home (or "Hume" - pronounced "Hoom", not "Hyoom") of Polworth. Argaty thus came into the possession of the Home family. About a century-and-a-half later the property again fell upon a daughter, Mary Hume/Home, who married George Stewart, 2nd of Ballachallan, whose descendants took the name Home-Stewart (or Hume-Stewart). Ironically, through this circuitous route of forfeiture and marriages the property of Argaty actually returned to the descendants of the the same Stewarts who originally forfeited it three centuries earlier. | Stewart, George 2nd of Ballachallan (I15837)

| 3003 | George Stewart was born 5 Aug 1764 in Letter of Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as the son of Robert Stewart and Elizabeth McFarlane. (Letter is located on the north shore of Loch Katrine, nextdoor to Edraleachdach, George's father's birthplace.) Stewarts of the South has incorrectly George's name as James Stewart: "James (sic, George) Stewart, [who is a] householder [in the] village of Gartmore. [He has] three sons: the first is a mason; the second a gardener; the third is a shoemaker." The following family is the only George Stewart in Gartmore, however, this family is a generation too late to be correct: George Stewart and Catherine Cairns James M 22/10/1812 Geo. Catherine Cairns Gartmore Mary F 22.12/1817 George Catharine Cairns George M 30/11/1818 George Catharine Cairns Gartmore born 30 Nov bapt 20 Dec 1818 | Stewart, George (I15822)

| 3004 | George Stewart was born in 1799 in Old Deer, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, likely at Upper Hythie. Sometime between 1801-1810, George's parents moved the family to Aberdour, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Sometime prior to 1833, George moved to England, likely for employment prospects. In 1833, George Stewart marred in Dorset, England to Caroline Finch Camp. Two years later, George and Caroline were living in Wells, Somerset, England, where their only child, Emily Stewart, was born in 1835. In 1841, at age 40, George Stewart was residing in Pudenham House, Andover, Thruxton, Hampshire, England with his wife and daughter. He was employed as a male servant. Andover is about 20 km east of Stonehenge. In 1848, George Stewart wrote letters to his sister, Marjory Stewart, and his nephew, George Aloysius Stewart, in which he discusses their family history. Unfortunately, he said little about himself, so all we know of him is what we can gleen from public records. In 1851, at age 49, George Stewart was residing in Andover, Thruxton, Hampshire, England with his wife and daughter. He was employed as a gardener. In 1861, George was residing in Andover, Fyfield, Hampshire, England with his wife and was employed as a gardener. In 1871 George was residing in Andover, Thruxton, Hampshire, England with his wife and was employed as a gardener. In 1881 George was residing in Andover, Penton Mewsey, Hampshire, England by himself, employed as a retired gardener and steward. George Stewart died in 1882 in Andover, Hampshire, England. George Stewart and Caroline Finch Stewart are buried in St Peter and St Paul Churchyard, Thruxton, Test Valley Borough, Hampshire, England, however their stone is so deteriorated that only their names are visible. -------- The Letters of George Stewart in Andover 1848 [The following letters were written in 1848 by George Stewart in Andover, firstly to his sister, Margaret, and secondly to his nephew, George Aloysius Stewart. They were transcribed from the original handwriting and typed by an unknown person (possibly George Benard Stewart in 1962) with margin notes written in by hand.] Copy of two letters relating to the STUARTS of BALLY-HALLAN Dated 1848 @Redenham (George Stewart, father of ~~~ in Colchester) From the writer, GEORGE STEWART, to his sister: (Margaret May) My dear Sister, I am very much obliged to you for the trouble you have taken to give me the information which I asked for respecting our forefathers. The only thing you mention that I did not know is that our grandfather’s name was William and that he was buried at Fetterangus. My notion was that his name was John and that he and our great-grandfather were both buried at Old Deer, but I find on referring to a large map of Scotland (which Mr. Drummond made a present to me since he left Redenham) that Hythie is in Fetterangus. Before I should make any statement of any information which I thought I had obtained concerning our ancestors, I wished to know what might be remembered by their descendants residing in the neighbourhood of where they lived and died in obscurity: so that I might compare such with my own: both as regards my recollection of what I heard from my father; and likewise; with what I have lately found out. By making the enquiries which I did, I was in hopes that they would have brought to light some letters or other written documents which would have put our descent beyond the possibility of doubt. If any such ever existed, they have fallen into the hands of those who could not understand their value, but we are not all antiquarians. But to proceed with my subject I can remember that when I was a very little boy, my father told us that his grandfather was a laird: and lost his land by joining Prince Charles: and wandered about from place to place with our grandfather, (then a boy) to conceal themselves. until at last they settled at Hythie some time after the rebellion was over. On various occa- -2- sions, I have heard my father mention them and state that they cherished a hope for a time that the fortunes of the Stuarts would take a turn when they would have been able to claim their lands again. Being rather inquisitive I would ask questions and on inquiring what the name of the place was that belonged to them and in what part of the country it was situated I was told that the name of the place was "Bally-hallan"; and that it was in the mouth of the highlands meaning on the highland borders. At that time, I only thought of it as being an odd sort of name; and that if it was anywhere near the highlands, it was not much worth troubling about; and, of course, thought it must be somewhere to the westward where I could see the tops of high mountains my conception of the highlands being then very imperfect as to their extent in particular. When I had got to be a big boy, and not many years before I had left Scotland, the subject of our great-grandfather came up between my father and myself and I remember having expressed my surprise that a person having lands as he had should have exposed them and his life for such a purpose as joining in a rebellion against his king. My father explained that Prince Charles's name was Stuart, as well as our great-grandfather's and that a distant relationship existed between them and being bound by the laws of clanship, he turned out as well as the rest of the Stuart clan along with the other adherents of their family, to endeavour to place them again on the throne of Great Britain from which they believed they had been unjustly expelled. Years have rolled on and I had forgotten the name "Bally-hallan" but remembered the rest of the stories although but imperfectly. But I will presently show you that what little I did remember enabled me not only to recover and correct what I had former y heard about the nave of the place of our forefathers; -3- but to find out to a certainty where it was situated and also the part that our great grandfather took in the rebellion of 1745/6. Now for my discovery and consequent recollection of forgotten names and circumstances. About two years ago, I read a book called the "Picture of Glasgow" in which there were several routes described from that city to assist strangers visiting that part of the country and wishing to make an excursion in the adjacent Highlands to choose one to their taste. One of these runs by Loch Lomond, Ben Lomond, Loch Katrine and through the pass called the Trossachs to Callander in "Perthshire and into the Lowlands by the banks of the river "Teith" passing the ruins of Doune Castle and so on to Stirling. It was with peculiar pleasure that I read the description of the scenery on this rout. When the traveller is conducted to Callander in place of mountain and lochs, he finds villages and gentlemen's seats end in the book I have mentioned and in that part of the rout after leaving Callender notice is taken of several gentlemen's seats as adorning the banks of the Teith among them is Ballachallan once the seat of a family named Stuart. When I read this, it struck me that I had heard something about this place and on repeating the word the sound seemed familiar to my ears and after a few moments’ consideration the long-forgotten name of "Bally-hallen" flashed on my memory and I had no difficulty in reconciling the two as being one and the same place and since I have had my large map of Scotland to refer to I actually find Ballachallen marked on it and the situation agrees exactly with what my father told me about Bally-hallan being in the mouth of the highlands as I find that the place is just a little within the highland border. Now I think I have shown you that our great-grandfather must have been the last Stuart of Ballachallan. I will give you a little of the historical part of my discovery but as I have not the books by me to refer I must give it from memory and as I read several books of Sir Walter Scotts about the save time I -4- shall not be able to distinguish which book I take each statement from. Sir Walter says, in speaking of Doune Castle as the place where the prisoners taken at the battle of Falkirk by Prince Charles' army, that this old fortress was held during the time of the rebellion for Prince Charles by a gentleman of property in the neighbourhood of Callander named Stuart. In speaking of the escape of some prisoners from Doune Castle, Sir Walter mentions that it was related by the people in the neighbourhood that Stuart the governor of the castle was seen riding about the country next day red with haste and bloody with spurring in search of his prisoners. Sir Walter introduces him in his celebrated novel Waverley which is nothing more nor less than a tale describing the different characters who figured in the rebellion of 1745. According to the tale, Waverley is taken prisoner and is lodged in Donne Castle and not exactly understanding why he is kept there he demands from the governor who he is and by what authority he keeps him there, by which he answers that his name is Donald Stuart and that he holds the fortress for Prince Charles Stuart: I believe that to this statement there is a note on the margin in which Sir Walter says that Donne Castle was held by Stuart of Ballech near Callander. There he is mentioned. He is represented as having the command of a party of Highlanders which most likely be armed and paid. He was of course withdrawn from Donne Castle when the Prince retreated to Inverness. And in the spring of 1746 I can find no mention of his name in any of the great battles that took place before Culloden nor am I aware of anything that would show whether he was present there or not. But whether he ever encountered the King's troops or not in the field the fact of his being in arms against them and having kept some of them prisoners who fell into the hands of his friends was sufficient to excite the resentment of the successful party against him and had he not found safety in obscurity there is little doubt but that his head would have -5- been added to the forfeiture as well is it was with many others engaged in the same unfortunate cause. I had almost forgotten to mention that I have several times heard my Aunt Margaret mention Ballyhallen and wish they could have it again, but on such occasions my father would put an end to the conversation by telling her that as it was gone from them and that it was of no use to murmur. I have also heard my uncle John mention the subject but have no distinct recollection of what he said about it. I should think that he and my Aunt were likely to have known more than my father as he, like myself, left home early and was not likely to have heard much about it when he was at an age to be capable of understanding or likely to remember what he did hear. I almost wonder at myself for having remembered so much when I consider that it is a quarter of a century since I have had an opportunity of refreshing my memory &c. &c. Extracts from a second from the same to his nephew: "You are perhaps acquainted with their history subsequent to that event but I will however add a short account of the descendants which will bring the history down to the present time. You must observe that being of the royal stock they, like many others, had adopted the French Orthography of their name but afterwards they resumed the more original one, as my father informed me, to appear more plebian and so to avoid notice on account of their name. To begin with the last Stuart of Bellachalian. I can only say that after numerous vicissitudes and severe privations he settled at Hythie in the parish of Fetterangus about 12 miles from Peterhead in Aberdeenshire. He lived there a few years to feel the full effect of this fall in fortune and at his death he had only the companion of his misfortunes his son William to lament him. He was buried in the churchyard of Fetterangus without any monumental stone to mark the spot. Such was the fate of the Donald Stuart -6- of Waverly, the governor of Donne Castle, who would now have been forgotten even by his descendants of the third generation if it had not been for your inquisitive uncle. To proceed with William Stuart of Ballachallan. He lived in the cottage where his father died and about 20 years after he had been there, and, when he had become used to his humble station, he married and left family John Alexander and Margeret who were enabled to erect a tombstone on the grave which still marks the spot where father and son lies. John Stewart the eldest (my uncle) lived in the family cottage and died some years ago having 5 or 6 sons and I believe one daughter. I believe one of the sons still lives in the same cottage one is dead and the others live in the neighbourhood with large families. Alexander (my father) died at Copland hill near Peterhead in 1839 had five sons and one daughter. Your father is the eldest, I the second, and James & Alexander the third and fourth are dead. You know the rest. Margaret did not marry and died some years ago. You are aware that for a man to have ancestors in whose name he may take a pride it imposes a great obligation on him as he has this good and honour to maintain and to do that he must take care that his own conduct through life shall be such that those ancestors would have approved in their descendants and this may be done in an humble sphere as well es in a lofty one. I have never heard my father nor my uncle mention our ancestors with anything like vanity of their lineage but seemingly with a view to let us know that we were descendants of honourable men and that we right act so we to be worthy of them.

He was likely named after his maternal great-grandfather, George Battison. In 1841, at age 20, George Stewart was residing in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, in a group living situation, possibly a school.

| 3009 | George Thomas Edson was the publisher of Stewart Clan Magazine. "George Thomas Edson, born in Marcus Iowa on January 2, 1884, is best known for his monthly publication of the Stewart Clan Magazine (SCM) from July 1922 to December 1970. He started out searching for his Stewart family road block, his connection to Walter Stewart of Perthshire, Scotland through Walter's grandson, John Stewart, an original settler of Londonderry, New Hampshire. Although Edson published from Nebraska and Kansas, he made many trips east searching for records of the Stewart family. He also had the assistance of an avid Stewart family researcher in New York City, Horace W. Dickerson. In his first issue, Edson stated his purpose for publishing the magazine: "In this little magazine, the editor will endeavor to crowd all the essential records available of New England and New York Stewart families from the immigrant ancestor down to about 1850." He included material from previously published sources, his own researches, and that submitted by other researchers. He took one year off, from July 1930 to June 1931, but otherwise published an issue every month from beginning to end." https://hereldstuart.wixsite.com/stuartfamily/post/stewart-clan-magazine --- George Thomas Edson, age 90, died Monday in Wheaton, Md. He was formerly of Olathe and had moved to the east coast about three years ago to live with a daughter. He was born Jan 2, 1884 in Marcus, Iowa. He lived in Olathe in the early 1900's. He was preceded in death by his wife, Mrs. Emmette Oliver. Survivors include: two sons: Philip Edson, York, Pa. and Stewart Edson, Denver, Colo.; two daughters: Laura Burns, Olathe and Jean Altallah. Bethesda, Md.; seven grandchildren and a brother, C.L. Edson Topeka. Memorial services will be Friday in Washington DC. Olathe News Olathe, Kansas • Wed, Feb 5, 1975Page 8 --- "Edson was never able to determine the origins of the Stewarts of Londonderry, N.H. In Stewart Clan Magazine, he tried out various hypotheses, but he was frustrated by the lack of evidence for one hypothesis or the other. One time he even discussed the Bond of Keltney Burn because the bond was signed by someone whom he wondered was the Londonderry, N.H., ancestor. That bond was also signed by Robert, Covenanter's, father Walter, but Edson was then zeroing in on a different signatory. "The correct origins of the Stewarts of Londonderry, N.H., were discovered by Philip Battel Stewart II (1924-1995), who found the family line including a few of the Gartnafuaran generations written into a late 1700s family Bible that had belonged to Margaret (Stewart) (Kately) (Anderson) Stewart (1731-1830) and was inherited by Margaret's Merrill descendants. The significance of the series of names from the Bible - that they matched the Gartnafuaran line - was determined with the help of a pair of Scottish genealogists, Kenneth Robertson and James Dinwoodie, and the fruit of their research was committed to The Stewart Society. As you may recall, it was Charles Stuart, formerly of Tooele, Utah, who obtained the family tree that Dinwoodie had prepared, and Charles sent me a copy of it back in 2002 -- that's when I first learned of the Gartnafuaran link."

| 3013 | George was born around 1600. His parentage is uncertain, but he was probably a third son of George Graham 1st of Drunkie c1570 (see 110.3). As an adult he moved to his own property at Bofreslie. Bofrishlie Burn is the headwater of the Pow at Aberfoyle. Called Blairfruslie by Roy and located just south of Aberfoyle adjacent to Balleich and Duniverig. As with other locations there is a wide variety of spellings in documents. The spelling variation may be due to the old convention of using an “f’ like letter to represent ‘s’ in some words, to distinguish between a hard 's' and a soft 's'). Bofreslie is also variously spelled Bofreshlie, Bofrishlie, Bovfresle, Bofressely, Bofressely, Bofresle, Bophreslie, Blairfrusly, Bofroschlie and Bofrishlie. In 1617 George Graham was listed in Bofreslie, adjacent to Balleich and about one mile south of Aberfoyle (GD22/3/562). 1619 Petition to Lords of Council by John Graham of Polder and 1st of Gallangad (George’s nephew, son of brother William), Andrew, Walter and Thomas Graham, his (John’s) brothers, Patrick Graham, son of deceased Duncan Ovir Graham, George Graham in Bofreslie and Walter Graham, his son (GD22/3/10). They had been accused of slaughter of Jasper Grahame of Blairsesnocht (GD22/3/12) and were “put to the horn” (declared outlaws), but charges were dropped in the same year. George married an unknown woman and had at least one son named Walter (see above) and three daughters named Anna Graham c1635, Janet c1640, and Agnes Graham c1645. 1664 Disposition by Walter Grahame of Ballachallen and his spouse in favour of Duncan Stewart, second son of John Stewart of Annatt, and Agnes Grahame, his spouse, and lands of Cammislitill alias Camsmacray, lands of Cambusbeg Wester called Ballachallen with salmon fishing in the water of Teath in lordship and stewartry of Monteith (GD275/52). 1665 document GD22/3/41 is a discharge by John Graham of Duchray, Walter Graham, brother of William Graham of Gartmore, and Thomas Graham, brother of John Graham of Deuchray, as friends and overseers nominated by deceased George Graham in Basroschlie to Janet and Anna Graham, his daughters, whereby they discharge Agnes Graham, eldest daughter of said George, and Duncan Stewart, her spouse, of 2,000 merks Scots owed to said George by Lord Kinpont. Duncan Stewart 1st of Ballanchalan married George’s daughter Agnes Graham c1640 around 1669 in Kilmadock. Daughter Janet c1630 married Walter Graham. 1671 Discharge by Janet Graham, daughter of deceased George Grahame in Bassroschlie, and Walter Graham in Glasschoil/Glasahoile her spouse, to Walter Grahame of Gallangad, of 200 merks Scots (GD22/3/47). Glasahoile is located on the southern shore of Loch Katrine, about five miles north of Ledard and about ten miles northwest of Aberfoyle. The descendants of George Graham in Bofreslie 1600-1665 remained closely aligned (as cousins) with the Grahams of Drunkie and appear in documents together. David Hume Stewart a cousin of Capt Walter Graham of Drunkie 1713-1758, was a great grandson of George c1600.

| 3014 | George was known by everyone as "Pete". His mother wanted to name him "George", and his father wanted to name him "Pete", so George was his legal name and "Pete" was his nickname. Pete had a boisterous personality and was a consummate kidder. He was also very humble and rarely liked to talk about himself. Pete owned his own business for most of his life selling safety equipment to the Hamilton area. When he retired in 1992 he turned the business over to his son David. David has since retired and sold the business. In high school, Pete was captain of the football team and is remembered by one classmate as an inspiration to others. Pete later coached amateur football. Pete flew Hurricane airplanes in WWII. He recalls with embarrassment when he accidently destroyed an unoccupied Haida Indian fishing village on Vancouver Island. The village had to be rebuilt by RCAF troops. Hamilton Spectator Tribute: Headline: Pete Gow - Sports enthusiast saw the humour in life by Luma Muhtadie, The Hamilton Spectator, May 16, 2002.

The former Hamilton Wildcats' halfback, Air Force veteran, businessman and grandfather died last Wednesday after the prostate cancer that had been in remission for six years moved to his bone marrow. More than 300 people attended the visitation on Saturday at Smith's Funeral Home in Burlington. "When he walked into a room, everybody was happy to see him," said Mae, his wife of 58 years. "He drew people in. He was lighthearted and fun," she said. Gow and his wife met when he was captain of the football team at the former Central High School in Hamilton. She was a Delta Secondary School student who never missed the chance to watch him play. After graduation, Gow joined the Air Force and went to British Columbia for training. During a military exercise, his plane caught fire, forcing him to parachute. He landed in a tree, injured his back and was unable to fight overseas. "My dad's friends in the force used to joke around and say he was staying back to protect Saskatoon from attack," said John Gow, one of two sons. "He saw the humour in it, that's just the sort of man he was," he said. Gow married Mae in Hamilton in 1941. He returned to football and was signed by the Hamilton Wildcats -- later to become the Tiger-Cats -- in 1946. After retiring from his short pro career, Gow ventured out to his old stomping grounds at Central and asked if he could be head coach of the football team. The request was granted. "My dad used to tell a story about someone he had to cut because he didn't think the guy could be a good ball player," John said. "It was (former CFL star) Russ Jackson. My dad always chuckled about this." Gow's love of competition persisted throughout his life. He curled, golfed and played cards with the guys from the Dundas Valley Golf and Curling Club, where the flag hung at half-mast after his death. He was also a regular at the Mohawk harness-racing track. "My dad never missed a Saturday at the track," John said. "He even wanted my brother and I to take him there when he was using a walker. He just couldn't sit still." Gow's restless energy was an asset to his career. After 10 years working for an industrial supply firm in Hamilton, he left with their blessing, to start his own company, G.W. Gow Limited. The fire and safety equipment supplier is now owned by his son, David. "In all the years I worked with my dad, I never met anyone who didn't like him," David said. "He always helped other people. "When Taylor Steel first started, they didn't have any money and my father gave them everything on credit. They're still with us 35 years later." But Gow was no less a family man. He doted on his five grandchildren, attending hockey and baseball games, and dance and piano recitals with equal zeal. A member of one of these teams came to Gow's funeral, a baseball in hand as a token of respect. The words, 'To the candy grandpa' were scrawled on the ball, as a tribute to his visible presence and sweet generosity with his grandchildren's friends. | Gow, George William (I6967)

| 3015 | George was married firstly in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada to Mary Rebecca Walker, by whom he had one known child: William Edward Street, born 1873. George was residing in Rochester, New York, USA, at the time of his marriage to Mary. He is recorded as a widower. | Street, George Washington (I17951)
|
| 3016 | George was only five years old when his mother died and 19 when his father died. According to Wikipedia, George was a Captian, presumabely in the Confederate Army like most of his other family members. He and Louisa had 8 children only one of whom married and had children. | Steuart, Capt. George Biscoe (I21543)
|
| 3017 | George was the 11th and last Earl of Dunbar. His son succeeded him, not as Earl of Dunbar or March, but as 2nd Lord of Kilconquhar. George was stripped of his earldoms by King Robert III after King Robert's son, David Stewart, divorced Elizabeth Dunbar, George's sister and George (and his father?) supported the English against the Scots in battle. Afterwards George became 1st Lord of Kilconquhar. | Dunbar, George (I5383)
|
| 3018 | George would normally be presumed to have died young prior to the birth of his same-named brother in 1803. However, Stewarts of the South says this about George: "George, a gardener in Northampton in England." It's chronologically challenging for younger George to be born in 1803 and working in England as a gardener ca. 1815-1820. And no matching George Stewart has been found in the English census in 1841-1851 in Northampton. So it's possible that it is this George who was the gardener and the younger George is an anomoly. | Stewart, George (I15824)

| 3019 | George Yerger Stewart never married nor had children. He was a druggist. He died under uncertain circumstances. "Druggist Found Dead in his Drug Store Silver Creek, Miss., Dec., 28 - G. Y. Stewart was found dead in his place of business here today. He was a druggist. The coroner’s jury returned a verdict that death was due to unknown causes. Mr. Stewart was a brother of Dr. Nolan Stewart of Jackson." | Stewart, Dr. George Yerger Pharm.D. (I23363)
|
| 3020 | George's actual birth date is not know. The date shown here is merely an approximation. | Kenneth, George (I8592)
|
| 3021 | George's baptism is mis-transcribed in the IGI as "George Harther". | Horsley, George (I7796)
|
| 3022 | 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.

|
| 3023 | George's birth is recorded in Callander, but LDS submissions also show him born in Auchtertool, Fife, Scotland. | Ramsay, George (I12636)
|
| 3024 | George's birth record gives his father's occupation as "farmer." | McLaren, George (I10264)
|
| 3025 | George's family came from Forres, Elgin, Scotland. | McDonald, George Stevenson (I9571)
|
| 3026 | 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)
|
| 3027 | 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)
|
| 3028 | 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)

| 3035 | 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)

| 3037 | Gilbert MacNab was also known as Gibbon MacNab. He was the son of John Bane McGillespic MacNab of Acharn. --- Recent research shows that the traditional accounting for the origin of the MacNabs of Acharn as descending from Alexander MacNab, 11th Chief, is incorrect. There is no "first" and "second" family of Acharn. They are one continuous family. (Loraine Smith, Clan MacNab Society, personal correspondence.) Alexander MacNab of MacNab (11th Chief) 1.

| 3038 | 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)

| 3045 | Given that the senior line of these Stewarts were said to be farriers on the Lawers estate for many generations and can be confirmed as such back to the early 18th-century, it seems plausible, if not likely, that the earliest ancestor to come to Lawers as part of a bridal retinue was likely also a farrier who was probably sent to care for the bride’s personal riding horses. Such a farrier accompanying a bride would likely have been a relatively close kinsman, but not one senior enough to have held land. So we’re likly looking for a younger son of the Grantully family, and possibly even an unrecorded illegitimate son. As Anna’s brothers have all been accounted for, this farrier could be an uncle, nephew or cousin of some degree. We know nothing of this first ancestor’s age other than that he would have been an adult at the time of the wedding in 1678, but he could have been anywere between 20-60 years old at the time. He could have been a young apprentice farrier or an old master. We simply don’t known. And since his birth predates the advent of parish registers, we may never known his exact identity. Thus, we are probably looking for a farrier who was born about 1640 (+/- 20 years or so) as a younger son (possibly illegitimate) of a junior line of the Stewarts of Grandtully. Stewarts of the South tells us that there were two lines of descendants from this hypothetical farrier — one line who lived in the parish of Comrie and the other who lived in the parish of Port of Menteith. (These lines are more fully accounted for below.) In extrapolating back from what we know of each of these lines, the most likely point of convergence would be two brothers born in the late 17th century whose father was probably born about 1640, making him the right age to be our hypothetical farrier. Although an earlier point of convergence is certainly possible, and the Port of Menteith line could descend from a brother of the farrier, rather than a son. | Stewart, _____ Farrier in Lawers (I14740)

| 3049 | Glen died tragically at work on the railroad in British Columbia.
