3059 https://www.ecclegen.com/ministers-s/#STUART,%20ALEXANDER%20MOODY

Alexander Moody Stuart, born Alexander Moody, Free Church of Scotland minister, born at Paisley, 15 June, 1809, died at Crieff, 31 July, 1898.

Married Jessie Stuart, eldest daughter of Kenneth Bruce Stuart, Esq. of Annat, 9 September, 1839 (she died 27 April, 1891). Her grandfather had entailed his estate at Rait on the braes of the Carse of Gowrie which he had named Annat after an old family estate, on her father Kenneth, with the condition that if a female succeeded, as was the case, her husband should take the surname Stuart of Annat. Hence Alexander Moody took the name Alexander Moody Stuart.

He was missionary in Holy Island, Northumberland, 1831 - 1835; under the Kirk session of St George's, Edinburgh, began in 1835 the work of gathering a congregation in Young Street; ordained to his first ministry at St Luke's, Young Street, 27th July, 1837.

At the Disruption of 1843 he joined the Free Church of Scotland on his return from a trip to Madeira and Brazil, and became minister of St Luke's Free Church, Edinburgh in 1843; he was convener of Jewish Mission of the Free Church from 1847 to 1889 (with a brief interval); and Moderator of the General Assembly of the Free Church, 1875. He received the degree of DD from the University of Edinburgh in 1875.

He was a strong supporter of the Establishment Principle and opponent of disestablishment of the Church of Scotland; opposed Higher Criticism, and the proposed union with the United Presbyterian Church; and interested himself in promoting friendly relations between Scottish Presbyterians and the Reformed churches of Hungary and Bohemia.

3065 Hugh Browne (1861-1893) followed in older brother D J Stewart Browne’s footsteps, starting as a bank clerk in Scotland and moving to Canada to sell insurance. In 1892, he married Elizabeth Margaret Bowen in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. They were living in Melrose, Massachusetts, USA when Hugh died from heart disease at the age of 32 in 1893. He is buried in Quebec. She remarried in 1906 to Vesey Boswell, whose family owned a large brewery in Quebec. She was a noted artist of some sort.

Browne, Hugh (I25284)
 
3066 Hugh Cuthbert is described as a late "crofter in Ardersier" in his widow's 1902 application for poor relief in the parish of Elgin, Moray, Scotland. In 1851 he is shown as a crofter with 16 acres at Ardersier. Cuthbert, Hugh (I3332)
 
3067 Hugh Gillespie Jr is mentioned in his father's will in 1846. No birth record has been found for Hugh Jr. He may be identical with his brother Thomas Gillespie, born 1813 in Deanston. The will is unclear whether Hugh Jr remained in Scotland or came to Canada. Gillespie, Hugh (I24134)
 
3068 Hugh Gillespie was born in Lecropt parish, just east of Kilmadock and west of Dunblane in Perthshire, Scotland. As he grew up in Scotland he worked as millwright, first in Bridge of Turk and later at the Deanston Works Company (a.k.a. James Finlay and Co.) in Deanston, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland. He worked under the management of the illustrious James Smith whose innovations in farming and milling revolutionized both industries and made James Smith famous around the world. Hugh rose to the level of senior foreman under James Smith and the following note is recorded about him:

"Some of the credit for the great work done at Deanston in [James] Smith's time must go to the fine team of men he gathered round him, [including]...Hugh Gillespie, foreman and highly skilled mechanic...." (Doune Historical Notes, Moray Mackay (c) 2003).

Hugh Gillespie married Mary Reid sometime around 1800, but no record of that marriage has yet been found. They began their family in Bridge of Turk, but the baptismal records for their first two children have not yet been found. It is strongly suspected they had another as yet unfound daughter named Catharine Gillespie who was also probably born in Bridge of Turk.

Sometime around 1834 Hugh Gillespie, along with his wife and several (but not all) of his children emigrated from Scotland and came to Puslinch, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada. The story of their journey can be found in the notes of Hugh's relative, Catharine McNaughtan.

Why would a man in such secure and successful employment leave everything behind for the unknown and uncleared wilderness of Upper Canada? We don't know why the Gillespies left Deanston, but it must be noted that Hugh would have been 60 years old at the time, so he may have been retired and the impetus may have come from his adult children. We can only speculate.

As to their life in Ontario, what is known about Hugh Gillespie can only be pieced together from secondary source documents. Early census records show the Gillespies arriving in Puslinch in 1835 with their daughter Mary's in-laws, the Stewarts. They initially shared adjacent farms with the Stewarts, with the Gillespies occupying Con. 3 Lot 19-front and the Stewarts occupying (and later owning) the rear of the same lot. (Note: early census records show "Galespie" and "Glasby" as variant spellings.)

In 1841, Hugh is found residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada sharing the property with his son-in-law, Robert Stewart. Hugh has not been found in 1851.

The History of Presbyterianism in Puslinch records Hugh Gillespie as one of two elders of the Secession Church of Scotland in Puslinch in 1837. He was later recorded as one of the founding elders of Duff's Church after the two churches merged. Just over a hundred years earlier the Secession Church of Scotland was founded by Thomas Gillespie in 1733. One hundred years prior to that a George Gillespie was a member of the Westminster Assembly of Divines and a significant theologian in early Presbyterianism. Are they related? That question will have to be left to future research.

OCFA shows a grave for Hugh and Mary Gillespie in Ayr, Ontario, which I have not yet visited.

Signed Hugh Gilespie

Puslinch, April 2nd, 1846
Know all whom it may concern that in a conversation at my house about the 17th of October 1844 immediately after William Huttons funeral while talking about my intention of writing a will in addressing myself to my son in law Duncan Stewart, I made the following allusion to the debt that he owed me that I considered if I forgave the amount of the debt due by him to me, it would be equal if not more than his share of my property when equally divided between my family after my death which meaning I declare to have been in my view at the time and ever since which is correlated by the reply which he made at the time that probably the rest of the family would not agree to that to which I answered, that the will to be made would decide that. And whereas I understand that he pretends to have understood me to mean that I forgave him the debt and would give him an equal share with the rest of my family, I firmly declare the later meaning not to have been my intention at the time or ever since.

Signed Hugh Gilespie

NOTE: This will was probated February 15, 1848 
Gillespie, Hugh (I6880)
 
3069 Hugh has not been found in any census records and is presumed to have died in childhood. Cuthbert, Hugh (I3333)
 
3070 Hugh immigrated with his parents and siblings in 1831 from Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Caledon, Peel, Ontario, Canada.

In 1851, Hugh was residing in Caledon, Peel, Ontario, Canada with his widowed mother and siblings.

In 1861, Hugh was residing in Chinguacousy, Peel, Ontario, Canada with his younber brother John Cameron and John's family.

In 1871, Hugh was residing in Chinguacousy, Peel, Ontario, Canada with his younber brother John Cameron and John's family. Hugh was employed as a labourer on John's farm.

In 1881, Hugh was residing in Chinguacousy, Peel, Ontario, Canada with his younber brother John Cameron and John's family. Hugh was employed as a labourer.

In 1891, Hugh was residing in Chinguacousy, Peel, Ontario, Canada with his younber brother John Cameron and John's family. 
Cameron, Hugh (I22922)
 
3071 Hugh is described in Stewarts of the South as being a wright in Glasgow with several sons. Stewart, Hugh (I16306)
 
3072 Hugh is found in 1881 with his parents in Turnberry, Huron County, Ontario, Canada. He is found in 1891 with his parents in Douglas, Selkirk, Manitoba, Canada. He has not been found in 1901. In 1911 Hugh is found with his wife and brother working on the railroad near Roger's Pass in Kootenay, British Columbia, Canada. His exact occupation is illegible. His wife's and brother's names are also illegible. Stewart, Hugh Fleming (I16309)
 
3073 Hugh is found with his parents in 1871 but not in 1881. He would have been 17 in 1881 and may have been employed outside the home, or he may have died young. The only match in the 1881 census is a Hugh Stewart in Maple Valley, Sanilac, Michigan, USA, working as a labourer for Ephram Erb. Stewart, Hugh (I16303)
 
3074 Hugh is mentioned in McDonald's book on Lord Strathcona as being a son of Peter Stuart and father of two daughters who received an annuities from Lord Strathcona. Hugh is mentioned in Hart's Army List as having served in the 38th Regt of Foot (The 1st Staffordshire) and was appointed as Company Hospital Assistant on 28 DEC 1820, Assistant Surgeon 15 DEC 1825, and Company Surgeon on 17 SEP 1839. Hugh's wife is unknown. Stuart, Dr. Hugh Lindsay (I18696)
 
3075 Hugh is presumed to have died with his parents. See notes on siblings. Dawson, Hugh (I3867)
 
3076 Hugh Stewart experience a harsh and tragic childhood from which it appears he never recovered. He grew to be an unfaithful husband and an apparently unkind father.

Hugh's father, Duncan, was a Scottish immigrant pioneer whose family were run off their lands in Upper Strathearn, Perthshire, Scotland. Hugh was born and raised on a pioneer farm just south of the present city of Guelph, Ontario, in what could be kindly described as "rough" circumstances. When Hugh was only 11 years old both his parents were taken by a small pox outbreak that claimed many in their family. Hugh and his siblings were all orphaned.

Hugh's eldest brother Robert would have been just of adult age when he was orphaned. Robert inherited the family farm and was likely initially the guardian of his younger orphaned siblings. However Robert appears to have been of a lesser stock, and was described by a compatriot as a "useless man". Robert sold the family farm for a yolk of oxen and his siblings were raised by their maternal grandfather, Hugh Gillespie. It would be understandable if Hugh was angry with his brother for casting aside the family farm so frivilously.

Hugh was eventually able to establish himself as a farmer in Puslinch Township, Wellington County where he married Agnes Mitchell. Hugh was unfaithful to his wife and took up with a mistress, Elizabeth Simmons. Hugh had a daughter by his mistress afterwhich his wife died. In 1879, Hugh and two sons moved out west to Arden, Manitoba where he established a pioneer farmstead and then in 1883 he returned to Ontario to retrieve his mistress and children.

In Manitoba it appears that Hugh was an extremely successful pioneer farmer and entrepreneur. Hugh hired himself out doing custom threshing. He imported Clydesdale horses from Scotland and sold them to homesteaders. Hugh was killed having been dragged by a runaway team of horses in 1913.

The following was in the Alexander history about Hugh Stewart...."Hugh came to Manitoba with sons Joe and Duncan in 1879, established a homestead and built a huge log house. Elizabeth came west in 1883 with Euphemia 9, Bob 7, and Sarah 2. They came to Portage LaPrairie by train and from there by ox cart. Their home along the Ridge was used as a stopping place. Young men came through and stayed there while they were looking for work."

Another online genealogy of this family incorrectly records Hugh as having been born in Scotland and coming to Canada in 1853. The reasons for this possible discrepency are outlined more fully in the notes for Hugh's wife Elizabeth Simmons. It is believed that Hugh and Elizabeth may have deliberately disguised their true ancestry to hide the unfortunate circumstances of their relationship.

A descendant of Hugh who is old enough to have known him describes him as "a horrible and controlling man [who] left his wife and kids". She claims that Hugh's son, Duncan, had little to do with Hugh after they moved to Manitoba and that Duncan "kept his [own] kids away from Hugh and Elizabeth...because the family hated them". She claims that Hugh treated his children like slave labour and never educated them; that he "worked his own kids to the bone and they were all illiterate."

Hugh left Agnes in 1873 fathered several children by Elizabeth before Agnes died. Hugh and Agnes' children were initially raised by the Mitchell family until such time as (some of them?) moved out west where it appears that they were raised by their oldest brother, Duncan.

According to the descendant referenced above, Hugh and Elizabeth were never married. This seems to be confirmed by the birth registrations for their daughters Rachel and Janet May Stewart which record their parents as "unmarried".

Obituary
Hugh Stewart Killed
Arden Farmer Receives Fatal Injuries in Runaway
Arden, Manitoba, Sept. 24. - This afternoon Hugh Stewart, Sr., met with sudden death just as he was about to leave the house on his farm about two miles from Arden, driving Mrs. Surch and two children across to this son’s harm. (sic, farm) When getting into the top buggy, his foot missed the step and caught in some way unknown. The spirited team became frightened and ran across the field until one of the horses fell down, dragging Mr. Stewart about a quarter of a mile and inflicting several injuries to his limbs, back, and fractured his skull. He never regained consciousness and died within about one hour. Mrs. Surch and children were thrown out of the buggy. The children were practically unhurt, but Mrs. Surch received a very severe shock and it is not known as yet just how serious her injuries are. Mr. Stewart was 78 years of age and was one of the pioneer settlers of this district, being a resident over 30 years, coming from near Guelph, Ontario. He was a practical and prosperous farmer. 
Stewart, Hugh (I16302)
 
3077 Hugh Stewart was born on the family farm in Puslinch Township, Wellington County, just southwest of present-day Guelph. The family were still living in a log cabin at the time. When Hugh was only nine years old his parents (and grandmother) all died within 11 months of each other orphaning Hugh and his sister and brothers all under the age of 11. Hugh and his siblings were raised by their uncle Peter Stewart and his sister, their aunt, Catherine Stewart.

In 1851, Hugh was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, County, Ontario in the care of his uncle Peter Stewart and aunt Catharine Stewart, along with his brother, Robert, and sister, Catharine.

In 1861, Hugh was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada in the care of his uncle Peter and aunt Catharine Stewart. Hugh's three orphaned siblings, Robert, Catharine, and James, were also residing with him. In the early 1860s the family moved from their log cabin into the stone farm house that still stands today.

In 1868, Hugh was a witness to his uncle Peter Stewart's marriage to Agnes Mclean.

Hugh has not been found in the 1871 census, however his only son (at that time) was residing in Puslinch with Hugh's uncle Peter. In 1871 Hugh moved to Hamilton with his wife and first son. It was the same year that Hugh's father-in-law, Leonard Tait, died. Leonard was already living in Hamilton, and since later census records show the Tait children living with Hugh and Mary, it seems likely that Hugh and Mary moved to Hamilton in order to look after Mary's siblings. Having been orphaned himself, I suspect Hugh would have felt compelled to look after his wife's younger siblings.

[Note: Lovell's Canadian Dominion Directory for 1871 lists a Hugh Gillespie, grocer, at 263 McNab St North in Hamilton. 1871 Census shows him residing in St. Mary's Ward, born about 1826 in Scotland. Wife Martha, children: Agnes, John, Margaret, Martha.]

In Hamilton, Hugh worked initially as a machinist and general labourer, but in 1877 he opened a grocery store at Hunter and Walnut streets with his brother-in-law, Robert Tait. The family store was known as "Tait & Stewart Grocers."

In 1881 Hugh was residing in Ward 2, Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, with his wife and children. Also living with them were his wife Mary's siblings, Robert, David and Margaret Tait.

Robert Tait eventually moved to London afterwhich Hugh and Mary moved the grocery store to the corner of Ferguson & King William streets.

Hugh Stewart died suddenly at the young age of 44. The cause of his death is was recorded as "consumption" (Tuberculosis.) After Hugh's death Mary ran the grocery store herself with the help of their son, Leonard, who eventually took over the family store. Two years later, their son Robert also died of tuberculosis. And in 1901, their son James also died of tuberculosis.

Hugh and his family are buried in unmarked graves in Hamilton Cemetery.

3078 Hugh's baptism is recorded in the Kilmadock OPR as: "James Gillespie & Margaret McDonald his Spouse, in Deanston, had Hugh born 7th & baptized 15th March 1829."

In 1841, Hugh was residing in Barony, Glasgow with his parents and brother James.

3079 Hugh's baptism is registered in both Carr Shield Chapel, West Allendale, and also at the High Chapel, West Allendale. At the time of his marriage, Hugh was living at Whiteley Shield, West Allendale and working as a joiner. Family tradition claims that Hugh made a full set of dining furniture at the time of his wedding. The furniture was handed down for generations and the last known suriving chair is now in the posession of John Walsh. In 1881 Hugh is living with his wife and children at 4 Montegue Colliery, East Denton, Northumberland, England. He is working as a Colliery Mechanic. Dawson, Hugh (I3865)
 
3080 Hugh's first child was born only four months after the date of marriage.

Hugh's second marriage comes from Jenny Harkness' Ancestry File (LDS). This second marriage and all descendants from that marriage should be considered as unconfirmed.

3081 Hugh/Ewan's baptism indicates that his father, James, was a farmer in Godmanchester. Hugh is not found in the 1880/81 census in Canada or the USA. However, there is a Hugh Stewart shown in the Huntingdon County register having married on 26 JUN 1888 in Ste. Martine to Jane Matilda CARMICHAEL, and this is the only Hugh known to be in the area that would be of the correct age.

3087 Hywel (pronounced "Howell") Dda ("the Good") was one of the great Welsh princes. He ruled Dyfed, Seisyllwg and Gwynedd and was the founder of the kingdom of Deheubarth. Deheubarth was the most powerful of the kingdoms of south Wales. It was formed in the thenth century by the marriage of Hywel Dda of Seisyllwg to Elen of Dyfed and subsequently extended into Breichinoig. The Welsh 'Brut' called him "the head and glory of all the Britons". He acknowledged the overlordship of Edward the Elder and Athelstan of England and was on close terms with them. Cadell, Hywel Dda ap (I2103)
 
3088 I know believe that too much emphasis has been placed on this Alexander's later residency in Wester Dullater. I no longer believe he was from Wester Dullater or anywhere in Port of Menteith parish. His first marriage shows him in Callander parish. The likelihood of him being the same person as Alexander Stewart, b 1801 in Brackland to James Stewart and Catharine McQueen, is very high. Their details fit together nearly perfectly. However, there are too many other contemporary Alexander Stewarts that he could also match to be able to confidently rule out other possibilities. Thus, at this point we cannot say for certain that he was the son of James Stewart and Catherine McQueen, but that is our most promising lead at the moment.

Alexander's date and location of birth are unknown, as are his parents' names. Onomstics suggests his father's name could be James, however we cannot be certain that all children from his first marriage are known. His mother could be Margaret, Helen, or Isabella (or possibly any name).

Alexander married firstly on 28 Dec 1822 in Callander to Anne Stewart, daughter of Walter Stewart in Edraleachdach and Elizabeth McDonald.

Alexander is believed to have married secondly on 28 Dec 1832 to Isabella McEwan. The Port of Menteith OPR records the marriage as: "Alexander Stewart in Wester Dulater and Isabella McEwan, daughter of the late George McEwan and Helen McGregor, Callander. Married at Port."

The only evidence we have to tie together Alexander's first and second marriages is the fact that the children were both in Dullater and there is not evidence of any other Alexander Stewart in Dullater at the time. His daughter, Margaret, from his first marriage is never found in census records with his second family as she was already away from home.

In 1841, Alexander is found residing at No. 1 Callander village, Callander, Perthshire, Scotlad, with his second wife and family:
Alexander Stewart, 35 (b 1806), ag lab (all born in Callander) Isabella Stewart, 25 James Stewart, 7 Helen Stewart, 3 George Stewart, 1. 60 year old Catharine McNab (b1781 in Perthshire, Scotland) was residing with them. Her relationship is unknown.

In 1851, Alexander (recorded as Stuart), b 1801 in Callander, was residing in Ballachallan, rural, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, employed as a woodman. He was residing with his wife, Isabella, b 1816, and children Helen, 13, George, 11, and Isabella, 4. Also residing with them was Isabella Ferguson, age 4.

Alexander is not found in 1861 and is presumed to have died by that time. He is also not found in the 1857 Valuation Roll, when his brother-in-law, James Stewart, 5th of Edraleachdach, was residing in the carse of Wester Dullater, suggesting further that Alexander was dead before 1857.

3089 I made a note for a David Brown "David - Lancaster Will d. April 1777-May 1777, wife Margaret Elizabeth Brown, children Michael, David, Jacob, & John. I failed to record the source reference. Brown, David (I1726)
 
3090 I recall the name Ted Jubien, but can't be sure this is him.

3091 I871 Canadian Census shows Betsy living with her son Moses in Euphemia Township, Lambton County, Ontario. 1881 Canadian Census shows Betsy living with her son George and family in Strathroy, Middlesex East, Ontario. Denmead, Elizabeth (I4826)
 
3092 Iago lost control of Gwynedd to Hywel Dda in 942 on the death of Iago's father Idwal. However in 950, after Hywel's death, Iago was able to regain control of Gwynedd. In 973 Iago was one of the princes who paid homage to King Edgar of England. Foel, Iago ab Idwal (I6106)
 
3093 Iain was illegitimate. "Fraoch" is Gaelic for "Heather". Perhaps an indication of his real mother's name. MacDonald, Iain Fraoch (I9110)
 
3094 Ida died of consumption a year after her marriage. Cuthbert, Ida (I3336)
 
3095 Idwal Foel ("the Bald") succeeded his father in 916. When Edmund succeeded the English throne in 939 Idwal rebelled against England's overlordship. He and his brother were killed in 942. Anarawd, Idwal Foel ap (I321)
 
3096 If Allan has been correctly accounted for then he must have been a natural son or he would have been elligible to inherit Innischaoraich on the death of his brother.

Allan Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as: "There was another branch of Sliochd Invernahavil (another name for the clan of "Donald of the Hammer") commonly called Sliochd Dhuail Mhic Callin ("Children of Donald son of Allan") of the very branch that Bohalie in Athol was [from, namely] Sliochd Dhuail Mhic Callin mhic Donal na nord ("Children of Dugal, son of Allan, son of Donald of the Hammer" which also reveals that the common ancestor, Allan, was a son of Donald). They came first from Appin to the Braes of Rannoch [and] from that to Glenlochay [and] from thence to Glendochard of whom Allan Stewart, cousin to Bohalie, came to be Grand Officer to the Earl of Murray at the Bridge end of Devon to whom he was a great favourite. Allan Stewart had two sons. [Allan] was married to a daughter of one Doctor [Robert] Stewart of the house of Annat. He had only one son by the wife and [also] a natural son."

A newspaper clipping from 1750 identifies Allan Stewart as a vintner in Doune acting as a sales agent for lands belonging to the Earl of Moray.

3097 If John Sharp and Elizabeth Farrar are the grandparents of Henry Haywood Sharp, as proposed, then it is known that John and Elizabeth were married in Halifax, Yorkshire. There are many possible John Sharps born in the right age range to be this John Sharp, but only one was born in Halifax. The birth this John Sharp on 8 MAR 1768 as the child of Mungo Sharp seems likely, but is not certain. Sharp, John (I14161)
 
3098 If the correct family has been identified for his son James, then the entry indicates that David's grandfather was named Duncan. Stewart, Duncan (I14953)
 
3099 IGI (from OPR) gives not specific date of birth Bridgman, Richard (I1560)
 
3100 IGI baptism shows parents as James Prangley and Milliar. Prangley, Hannah (I12761)
