| 3752 | James Cuthbert Jr. inherited the Richfield Plantation in Beaufort County when his father died in 1838. When James died in 1852 the property was purchased by John White Gregorie. In 1850 James is shown as a bachelor and the proprietor of a plantation valued at $20,000 (equivalent to approx. $8M in 2009). James is presumed to have had no children. | Cuthbert, James (I3407)

| 3753 | James Cuthbert of Drakies served as Provost of Inverness from 1620-21 and 1628-29. A James Cuthbert of Easter Drakies served as Provost of Inverness from in 1631 and 1636. It's not know if they are the same person or two different Jameses. On 5 JUL 1661, James is referenced in the register of Parliament, judicial proceedings for an incident that took place on 12 January 1621: Decreet for Lauchlan MacIntosh [of Torcastle] against Ewan Cameron, [laird of Lochiel]. Includes: "William MacIntosh's consignation of the sum of 18,000 merks in the hands of James Cuthbert of Drakies, then provost of Inverness, conforming to a contract of wadset passed between the deceased John Grant of Freuchie and Sir Lauchlan MacIntosh of Torcastle, knight, on the one and other parts, dated 12 January 1621." James relationship to his parents, siblings and children as shown here is not confirmed but represents this author's best attempt to reconcile current evidence. | Cuthbert, James (I3440)
|
| 3754 | James Cuthbert of Easter Drakies served as Provost of Inverness from 1631-36, 1639-1640, 1645-1646. It is not certain that all three terms were served by the same James Cuthbert or possibly more than one. James' relationship to his parents, siblings and children is not confirmed but represents this author's best attempt to reconcile current evidence. In 1646 James Cuthbert of Easter Drakies is mentioned with his brother John Cuthbert and "with his two sons" as having served under Montrose in the Scottish Civil War of 1645. The reference to "his two sons" is ambiguous in whether it refers to James or John Cuthbert. =========== Theis, that your lordship may tak notice of them, and, quhat justlie concernes us, may assist us against them, ar James Cuthbert of Drakies, and Jon Cuthbert, his brother, with his tuo sonee. Theise once seamed to lean only to my Lord Marques of Argyll, bot now, as they turned thair backes on the caus and on us, so haif they joyned them selfis with his and our enimyes. (1646?) | Cuthbert, James (I3421)

| 3755 | James date and place of birth is uncertain. According to Stewart Clan Magazine (see below) James was born about 1732 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. However, this predates his parents' marriage. If it is correct that he was born in Scotland then it would have to have been closer to 1737. In 1739, James' father, Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, dictated a detailed family tree that was subsequently added to by Dr. James Caraway in 1789, in which the following is recorded about James: "James, the son of Patrick Stewart, married in South Carolina a young lady of the name of Vilpontan, a descendant of the ancient French family of that name, by whom he had one child only, a daughter called Ann; she married Edward Tongue, of Cairn Acre, near the river Ponpon. Tongue died and she married a second husband by the name of Gist, in Union County, S. C., where they both died without issue." According to Stewart Clan Magazine: "James Stewart, born about 1732 (sic - this predates his parents' marriage) in Balquhidder parish, Perthshire, Scotland, was transported to North Carolina by his parents in 1739. His presence around home is little noted. He may have accompanied his parents to the Cheraws in South Carolina about 1768. He was named in his father's will in 1772. He is said to have married in South Carolina a Miss Vilpontan, by whom he had an only child, Ann, who married (in 1794) Edward Tonge. A news- paper published at Charleston, in its issue of Tuesday, Nov. 3, 1794, gave a brief announcement of the wedding of Edward Tonge, esq., of St.Paul's parish (Colleton) and Miss Ann Stewart of St.George's Dorchester. This would indicate that Ann's father resided, or had resided, in St.George's parish, Dorchester. And this suggests that he, very likely, belonged to the same family of Stewarts as the Duncan Stewart of St.George's Dorchester whose will, dated May 1, 1746, and probated July 5, 1748, named his brothers and sisters John of St. Paul's parish, who had sons James and John; Daniel; Alexander, Janet; Grizel; Elspeth; and Margaret, F: 174. The surname was spelled Stuart in the will. "Edward Tonge, esq., was born Sep. 13, 1769, son of John & Susanna Tonge, and died Oct. 18, 1809, at his mansion house on Cane Acres in St.Paul's parish, as shown by a tombstone "Erected to his memory by his most affectionate wife Ann" in an old graveyard by the side of the road between Bacon's Bridge and Charleston. Ann was Edward's second wife, he having married when rather young Elizabeth Murray, who was born Oct. 25, 1772, in Charleston, and died July 15, 1788, in thar city, aged 15 years and 8 months, as stated on a stone erected by her husband in 1794. Ann's mother-in-law, Susanna Tonge, continued to reside at Cane Acres until her death Aug. 18, 1828, at the age of 86 years. Ann had no children by Edward, and awhile after his death in 1809 she married a man named Gist and went to live in Union County, S. C. There Mr. Gist died, and some time afterward she died, childless. In her possession was a big bible which had belonged to her father, James Stewart, and placed within it was the family lineage running back to King Robert II of Scotland which her grandfather, Patrick Stewart, had had his son Charles write out from "uncontroverted history." A brother of Ann's second husband, upon request, sent "this ancient paper" to Morgan Brown, who married Elizabeth Little, born Nov. 24, 1765, daughter of William and Catherine (Stewart) Little. Elizabeth Little was a cousin to Ann." (Edson, George. Stewart Clan Magazine, Vol. 34, Tome G, No. 8, Feb. 1957.) | Stewart, James (I16264)
|
| 3756 | James date and place of birth is unknown. His father moved from Strathgarry to Calziebohalzie in Kilmadock sometimes after the 1715 Rising (see father's notes). As his earliest confirmed child was born in 1740, and his father was born in 1680, then a suggested date range of 1705-1715 seems about right, in which case he would have been born in Strathgarry before his father moved to Calziebohalzie. There is a slight chance that he was born after the move. James is mentioned in the testimony of his grandson, Robert Stewart in Buchany, in the Glassingall trial records: "Robert Stewart Blacksmith at Milton of Burn of Cambus in the Parish of Kilmadock who solemnly declares that he is 75 years of age and that he was born at Buchany a village on the Estate of Cambus Wallace, situated about a mile and a half to the South East of Annat, that his father Donald Stewart was a Blacksmith at Buchany; that his grandfather James Stewart was a labourer in Buchany, and that his great-grandfather lived at Calziebolhalzie, a farm on the Braes of Doune in Kilmadock." Our transcription of the Kilmadock OPR begins in 1735. It is possible that James had earlier children that are not accounted for. The baptisms of his children suggest he and/or his wife was related to the following people: Duncan Stuart in Burn of Cambus Donald Stuart in Callibahalzie Duncan Stuart in Callibohalzie (mentioned twice. He may be identical with Duncan Stewart in Burn of Cambus.) Robert Stuart in Annat (mentioned twice) Alexander McLean in Buchany Alexander Stewart in Buchany | Stewart, James in Calziebohalzie (I21748)
|
| 3757 | James date of birth is disputed. (See attached.) James inherited the office of High Steward of Scotland in 1283 following the death of his father, Alexander. James married Egidia de Burgh, sister of Richard de Burgh, Earl of Uslter, making them aunt and uncle to Elizabeth de Burgh, future wife of Robert The Bruce. Service to King Alexander III & Robert I In 1286, following the tragic death of King Alexander III, leaving only a child heir, James was chosen as one of the six Guardians of Scotland. He subsequently submitted to King Edward I of England on 9 July 1297 and was one of the auditors for the competitor, Robert Bruce, 5th Lord of Annandale. However, during the Wars of Scottish Independence he joined Sir William Wallace. After Wallace's defeat at the Battle of Falkirk in 1298, he gave his support to Robert Bruce, later King Robert I of Scotland, grandson of the competitor. Fealty to Edward I of England In 1302, with six other ambassadors including John Comyn, Earl of Buchan, he was sent to solicit the aid of the French king against King Edward, to whom he was once again compelled to swear fealty at Lanercost Priory on 23 October 1306. To render his oath inviolable, it was taken upon the two crosses of Scotland most esteemed for their sanctity, on the consecrated host, the holy gospels and on various relics of saints and he agreed to submit to instant excommunication if he should break his allegiance to Edward. However, convinced that his faith was primarily to his country in spite of all, he once again took up the Scottish patriotic cause and died in the service of Robert the Bruce in 1309. (Wikipedia) According to Wikipedia, James was married firstly to Cecilia, a daughter of Patrick, Earl of Dunbar (died 1289); and secondly, apparently to Muriel (born 1244), a daughter of Malise, Earl of Strathearn (died 1271). However this second suggested marriage is difficult to reconcile with her known other marriage. James had no known children with either of these wives, so it is presumed they died young, which would explain his late start in having children with a third wife. James had two confirmed children by Egedia de Burgh, namely Walter and Egedia. His other children's mothers are unconfirmed. James was father of: ------------------ Disputed Date of Birth The date of birth for James Stewart, 5th High Steward, is unknown. We suggest an earlier date around 1243. Wikipedia disputes this and suggests a later date around 1260. Both dates are estimates based on different interpretations of the evidence. All that can be said definatively is that James' actual date of birth is unknown. Wikipedia says: "The date of his birth is not known and some sources have placed it, on no good evidence, as early as 1243. This is now thought to be unlikely, for the following reasons. Firstly, James's father is known to have planned a pilgrimage to the shrine of Saint James of Compostella in 1252 or after, so that James would probably have been born after this, and named in honour of that saint. Secondly, James's Christian name was an unusual one, then uncommon in Scotland and not a traditional name in the Stewart family where Walter and Alan were favoured. It is therefore quite possible that he was not Alexander's eldest son, but rather the eldest surviving son. For these reasons, and also the fact of his son and successor Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland being described in about 1314 as a "beardless lad" by John Barbour in his poem The Brus, it is proposed that James was born in about 1260." (Wikipedia) To state that the case for the earlier birth date rests on "no good evidence" is disingenuous. St. James had already been a patron saint of the family for over two hundred years before Alexander Stewart made his pilgramage in 1252. Alexander's great-grandfather, Sir Walter Fitz-Alan, the first High Steward, founded Paisley Priory in 1163 and dedicated it to St. James, a century before James Stewart was born. But St. James had been a patron saint of the family even before then, as far back as the 11th century when they still lived in Brittany. To claim that James was named after Saint James of Compostella after his father's pilgramage in 1252, confuses correlation with causation. The causation could just as easily be argued the other way: that, in an era of high infant mortality, Alexander Stewart made his pilgramage in 1252 to give thanks for the good health of his growing young son, whom he'd previously named James after the family's traditional patron saint. While James Stewart may be the first person in the family documented to use the forename James, that does not mean that he was the first person to have the name. It only means that he's the first person documented with that name. The documentation on the earlier generations of this family is very incomplete. In the poem, The Brus, by John Barbour, James Stewart's son, Sir Walter Stewart, the future 6th High Steward, was described as a "beardless lad" at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Wikipedia claims that this is evidence that James could not have been born earlier that 1260, which is untrue. Barbour was neither a contemporary writer nor a first-hand witness. He didn't write his poem until 1375, 60 years after Bannockburn, and 50 years after the "beardless lad" was dead. He most certainly never met Walter Stewart, as he was only a child himself when Walter died. His description should not be relied upon as evidence for Walter's age. But, even if Walter was young (about which we agree) that is also not conclusive evidence as to the age of his father at the time of his birth. James Stewart could easily have been close to 50 years old when his son Walter was born. That would not be unheard of in that era. Furthermore, Barbour was appointed to the court of James Stewart's grandson, King Robert II (Stewart), and had a clear motivation to portray the king's ancestors in a favourable and dashing manner. In support of the earlier dating for James' birth, we find that James is cited along with his father in a charter ca. 1276, in which he was an adult, which would make James latest possible birth around 1255. James' second wife, Muriella of Strathearn, is recorded in the same Wikipedia article as being born in 1244. Wikipedia's dating would make James sixteen years younger than his wife, which is highly unlikely. Our dating would make them about the same age. And, finally, James Stewart's younger brother, Sir John Stewart of Bonkyl, is estimated to have been born ca. 1245, as shown by the Stewart Society and other sources. In order to have inherited the office of High Steward, James must have been born before his brother, John. That means James must have been born earlier than ca. 1245. The accounting of the descendants of Sir John Stewart of Bonkyl becomes nearly impossible if Sir John was born later than 1260. The suggestion that James Stewart was born closer to 1243 rests on good evidence. The suggestion that he was born closer to 1260 cannot be reconciled with other evidence and confuses correlation with causation. | Stewart, Sir James 5th High Steward of Scotland (I16499)

|
| 3768 | James first recorded child was born in 1863 in Brazil. Given the gap between his marriage in Aberdeen in 1859 and Jane's birth, it would seem likely that James and Isabella probably had at least one other child while in Brazil who did not survive. The reason for their move to Brazil is not known. However the reason for their short stay and quick return back to Scotland seems to be coincident with the death of James' father, so it would seem likely they returned home for James to assume ownership of Hythie. An online family tree gives James' date of death as 1872 however his wife is shown as widowed in the 1871 census, so his date of death may be incorrect. James widow was residing in 1871 at Upper Hythie with her five children all under age 10. Isabella married secondly on 7 APR 1877 in Strichen, Aberdeen, Scotland to James ANGUS, b 1837 in Longside, Aberdeenshire and moved to Kininmonth, Old Deer, where James Angus was a crofter of 14 acres. Hythie passed out of Stewarts hands after five generations. | Stewart, James 5th in Hythie (I16498)

| 3771 | James Graham's mother was Mary Stewart from the Lorrachan Stewart family. His grandmother was Margaret Stewart in Cuilantogle. His first wife was Janet Stewart of the Brackland Stewart family, herself descended from multiple Stewart families. His second wife was Katherine Stewart of the Stewarts in Wester Torrie. Descendants of this James Graham are related to just about every branch of the Stewarts of Balquhidder.

| 3773 | James Hamilton married firstly to Mary Allen who died two years after their first child was born. James then married Janet Stewart with whom he had three more children. According to the date on Mary's gravestone, she died 17 Apr 1868. However, according to the date on his marriage registration with Janet Stewart, they were married on 23 Jan 1868, three months BEFORE his first wife died.

|
| 3777 | James immigrated to California, USA and then settled in Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia, USA. In 1768, George Cuthbert, 2nd of Drakies Plantation in Georgia died without heirs. Dr. James Cuthbert in Savannah, Georgia, described as a "brother" was named as one of the executors, with his sons Joseph and George named as heirs. It is impossible for James to have been a brother-german to the late George, but he may have been a brother-in-law by unknown means or the term "brother" may have been used quite loosely. James presumably died prior to 23 Jul 1783 as his son Joseph was next in line to inherit Castlehill, however James is listed in a 1783 Georgia immigration document along with his son Joseph. Note - The 1790 Reconstructed Census for Georgia for 1790 lists only the following Cuthberts in all of Georgia, and they are all residing in Chatham County. There are no other Cuthberts shown residing in Georgia. The Reconstructed Census lists only names and county, no other information whatsoever. It is presumed that these people represent heads of households only as is the case with the rest of the 1790 census. 1. George Cuthbert (presumably the eldest son of Dr. James Cuthbert Sr) 2. Dr. James Cuthbert (Probably the younger Dr. James Cuthbert. However, as no age is given there is no way of knowing if this is the elder or younger Dr. Cuthbert.) 3. James Cuthbert (Possibly the younger Dr. James Cuthbert, or another James, perhaps from the Drakies family.) 4. Joseph Cuthbert (Joseph is listed in three places in the census, but as no information other than names is given it's not known if the three references are to three different Joseph Cuthberts, or merely three references to the same person. Given that the Cuthbert family of Drakies Plantation, Savannah, Georgia had an early patriarch who may have been named Joseph, and that this family was still occupying Drakies in 1790 then it would seem likely that there was more than one Joseph and that one of these was the son of Dr. James Cuthbert and at least one, if not both, of the others were from the Drakies family. See Drakies family below.) 5. Lewis Cuthbert (son of Dr. James Cuthbert Sr) 6. Mrs Penelope Cuthbert (Presumably a widow, but her identity is unknown.) | Cuthbert, Dr. James (I3436)

| 3778 | James immigrated to Williamsburg, York, New Brunswick, Canada. c. 1862 their son James MacMillan and his wife Margaret Robertson emigrated to Williamsburg, Stanley Parish, New Brunswick, Canada and raised their 7 children. (I am a descendant of this James and his wife Margaret who would never allow their photos to be taken. -- Jennifer Hackett) James and his wife Margaret Robertson had 7 children all sons. [My great grandfather was their 5th son Charles MacMillan. Charles was a lumberer and millman. During WWI, in 1917 at the age of 47 Charles enlisted in No. 2 New Brunswick Forestry Company as a Sawyer & Engineer, stating on his attestation papers that he was 2 years younger.

| 3779 | James inherited the estate of Edraleachdach and Lorachan upon the death of his father Walter. James never married nor had children. Upon his death the estate passed conditionally to his brother Archibald as noted in the will below. It is not known if Archibald met the conditions of the will and retained Edraleachdach or not, however, in 1881 Archibald was residing in Monachyle. In 1841, at age 30, James Stewart was residing in Edraleachdach, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his widowed mother. He was employed as a farmer. In 1851, at age 46, James Stewart was residing in Edraleachdach, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his niece Margaret Stewart (10). He was employed as a farmer and grazier of 20 acres, employing two labourers. 1857 Valuation Roll James Stewart in Edraleachdach (brother of Anne Stewart, first wife of Alexander) was tenant in Wester Dullater under the proprietorship of Mrs Agnes Eastmonth (McNaughton) James Stewart in Edraleachdach was also tenant in Hill Grazings of Invertrossachs, proprietor Mrs Jane Hunter (Eastmonth).

| 3780 | James is believed to be the one described in Stewarts of the South as: "James Stuart, [a] miller [in] Cubail-Larach, [in] Drymen parish. [He] has five sons. [He is] the stoutest and most able man in that country. One of [his sons], James, [is] an innkeeper in Gartmore." | Stewart, James (I16504)

| 3781 | James is buried in Hamilton Cemetery. The stone reads "PILLING / James / Elizabeth / Edna / Doris" with no dates. In 1931, James and Edith have a son named George Pilling born 1915 residing with them. This is Felix George Russell from Edith's previous marriage. | Pilling, James (I12505)
|
| 3782 | James is claimed in family records to have married Jessie McLaren and to have moved to Edinburgh where he died on 1 JUN 1871 and is buried in Liberton Old Churchyard in Edinburgh. However it is chronologically nearly impossible for a man born in 1759 to die in 1871. He would have been 112 years old. Furthermore, the IGI caries a member submitted record of this same death and claims that said James was born in 1774 and married in 1795. Thus, it must be concluded that whoever researched the family records of this branch has made an error. | Stewart, James (I16444)

|
| 3786 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as "a tenant of Stronvar in Balquhidder parish, on Captain [Duncan] Stewart [of Glenbuckie]'s estate. His rent is £60." James is described in The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol. 3 as "James Og" which means "Young James", and as having "lived on a croft just where the nursery used to be at Ardvorlich. The croft was called Ashinranoch." The McIntyre letter claims that James was the youngest of three brothers, however no older brothers have been found for him. On 22 Aug 1787, an illegitimate son named Allan Stewart was born to James Stewart in Wester Ardveich and Euphemia McGregor in Easter Glentarken. The Kirk Session minutes for Comrie Parish record the following: "Comrie 10th Febry 1788 James Stewart in Ardveich guilty of adultery with Euphan McGregor in Ester Glentarkin." The minutes specify "adultery" as opposed to "fornication" which indicates that either James or Euphan was married at the time of the liason. The only viable candidates for the father of Allan are James Og Stewart or his father, James Ross Stewart. As James Ross Stewart would be at least 30 years older than Euphemia, then James Og Stewart is preferred as the father as he was the same age as Euphemia. If so, then it means that James Og was married to an unknown woman at the time. No such marriage has been identified for him. The name "Allan" is an unusual choice for the baby's name. The name does not occur in either parent's family. It's possible that he could have been named after the infamous Allan Breck Stewart who was known to frequent the area and was allied with the Stewarts of Balquhidder. Baby Allan disappears from records after his birth and is presumed to have died in childhood. "1787 Augt 22nd Jas Stewart in W. Ardveich & Euphan McGrigor had their son born in uncleanness Bapt this day named Allan." (Comrie OPR) On 30 May 1795, at age 30, James Og Stewart married in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland to Jean McDiarmid, b: ABT 1770 in Perthshire, Scotland. James is recorded as residing in Wester Ardveich at the time of their marriage. James first mistress, Euphemia McGregor, in 1790 had relations and an illegitimate daughter with Daniel McDiarmid in Easter Ardveich. It seems likely that Daniel McDiarmid was related to James' wife Catherine. Given James' late age at marriage, it's possible that he was previously married. | Stewart, James Og in Stronvar (I16594)

| 3787 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as "[a] farmer, [in] Gartfarran, [in] Drymen Parish [in] Stirling county, who has four sons. Thrifty with himself and work as undertaker of roads." | Stewart, James (I16409)
|
| 3788 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as "[a] schoolmaster [at] Lochearnhead." | Stewart, James (I16420)
|
| 3789 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as "[a] tacksman of Auchnandave in Strathyre [in] Balquhidder Parish, [on] Buchanan of Auchlessy's property, formerly that of Arnprior." James' exact place of birth is unknown. James is listed in Stewarts of the South as the patriarch of 3-Line of the Stewarts of Glenogle, a cadet branch of the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran. James' exact line of descent from the Stewarts of Glenogle has not been determined. The present arrangement as shown here represents our current best theoretical reconstruction. The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol 3 refers to this branch as "The Caleb Stewarts" -- a reference to James' son, Caleb, (by his second marriage) who presumably rose to a place of local prominence in the clan. James is believed to have married three times, however, Stewarts of the South records his surviving sons coming only from his second and third marriages (by our accounting). So it's possible that the marriage we have shown as first here may actually be a different James Stewart in Auchnandave, but the coincidence of names, dates and geography makes it more likely that they are all the same James. James is believed to have married firstly on 18 OCT 1742 in Callander parish to Jean Stewart. Stewarts of the South only notes James' later sons Dugal, Walter, and Caleb as surviving (all from the family we show as his second marriage). So, either his sons above did not survive or the family above belongs to a different James Stewart living in Ardnandave. James is known to have married on DEC 1754 in Aberfoyle and 18 JAN 1755 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Jean Graeme/Grahame . We believe this to be James' second marriage. Jean is believed to have been from Callander parish. James Stewart is believed to have married thirdly ABT 1769 to Margaret McNie, although no record of their marriage has been found. Robert's great-granddaughters from this line are referred to in The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol 3 as "Caleb Stewarts", presumably a reference to them being "of Caleb's family" even though they are not descended from Caleb himself. | Stewart, James in Auchnandave (I16607)
|
| 3790 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as a tenant in Carse of Cambus and having one son. James is found in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Kilmadock cemetery: "281 James STEWART, farmer (at) Carse of Cambus, died 1 FEB 1826, age 72, wife Mary SHAW, 8 OCT 1823, age 68." James is recorded in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) as being the son of Hugh Stewart of Carse of Cambus, and the father of "Alexander Stewart, presently of Carse of Cambus, only son of James Stewart." He is also mentioned in the testimony of Robert Stewart in Buchany from the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856): "Declared that he was personally acquainted with Alexander Stewart late tenant in Carse of Cambus who is now at Blairdrummond Moss and that he was also acquainted with his father James Stewart who was tenant in Carse of Cambus, and was buried in Kilmadock Churchyard in 1826. That he also knew John Stewart Merchant in Kippen, who was the brother of James last mentioned, and the father of Dr Stewart of Glasgow, and John Graham Stewart also in Glasgow. Declares that the father of John and James above mentioned was Hugh Stewart, who was first a tenant in Ballacaish, under Mr Stewart of Craigton, which adjoins Annat, and afterwards in Carse of Cambus, and that Hugh is also buried in Kilmdaock Churchyard. That Hugh Stewart was first married to Margaret Buchanan, who was the mother of John Stewart in Kippen, and second to Janet [Duncandow] who was the mother of Janet Stewart in Carse of Cambus. That Hugh Stewart was son of John Stewart tenant first in Ballacaish aforesaid, and afterwards in Lendrick which was one of the forfeited farms on the Perth estate." | Stewart, James 2nd of Carse of Cambus (I16632)
|
| 3791 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as being "an assistant to his father at Summerline". | Stewart, James (I16550)
|
| 3792 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as being a slate quarrier in Bute with four minor sons. | Stewart, James (I16485)
|
| 3793 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as having immigrated to America prior to 1815. No OPR record has been found for him. It's is possible that Stewarts of the South may have his name incorrect and he may be identical with either of the earlier sons, Dougal or Alexander, however Stewarts of the South does list him last. | Stewart, James (I16401)
|
| 3794 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as one of the two surviving sons of Alexander Stewart, son of James Stewart of Tar, in which James is described as: "James, the oldest, is a soldier." | Stewart, James (I16490)
|
| 3795 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as residing formerly in Drunkie, Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland with no children. Thus he died before 1815. | Stewart, James in Drunkie (I16637)
|
| 3796 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as residing in Tulloch and having "no sons" but he may have had daughters. | Stewart, James (I16569)
|
| 3797 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as: "I give the History of James Stewart of Tar formerly (believed to mean "formerly of Tar") who had five sons [who are] all dead and the estate [has been] sold. [It was in the Lordship] of Monteith [which is] now Montrose['s] estate. I remember when he had four sons [who are] now all dead." James' second father-in-law has been identified as Donald Stewart, the alleged shooter in the Appin Murder of Colin Roy Campbell of Glenure. James is listed in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Brig o' Turk Cemetery in Callander parish as: "12 (at top - a pelican plucking its breast, on her nest) (in Latin) Katharine STEWART, 24 DEC 1735, husband James STEWART esquire of Tar (Mitchell notes: Duncan STEWART in Achray (sic "Auchrig"), feuer of Tar in Ruskie in 1754, son James succeeded him in 1784 and died before 1811 - son John, daughters Janet, Anne, etc, two wives)." James' children are all (but one) found in the Aberfoyle OPR in which James is recorded as "Esquire of Tar." The birth of James' eldest son, Alexander, is recorded in the Kilmadock OPR in which James is recorded as "of Auchrig" and his wife Katherine is recorded as "in Argaty." From these references we see that James inherited both Auchrig and Tar from his father and presumably sold Auchrig. Auchrig had previously been the posession of the Stewarts of Ardvorlich Branch III. Although Stewarts of the South shows Tar being in Port of Menteith, as indeed it appears to be on maps, the baptisms of James' children are recorded in Aberfoyle parish. This is because James' children were all baptized at once at the time of his youngest daughter's birth, so the baptisms are all recorded together on one page. No marriage records have been found for either of James' marriages. Stewarts of the South also notes above that all of James sons had died prior to the writing of that document ca. 1815 and the author only lists children for one son, Alexander. Given the likely ages of the other sons when they died it is inferred that none of them had any male descendants. As son, John, is the only son to be mentioned by Mitchell, then it is inferred that John lived the longest. The author of Stewarts of the South writes more about James Stewart of Tar in the Appendix: "I think I wrote you something concerning the Stewarts of Tar, before, and will do again if you think proper, though not in this paper. My reason for neglecting in description is [for] their being extinct, [all] but two daughters that are married and in very low circumstances. The late James Stewart of Tar father was in partnership with the late General Stewart of Raith's father in purchasing Oakwoods, which trade was not at that time taken by any but clever active men. He was called James Stewart of Boblach in the four and twenty farms of the Carse of Frews, in the Lordship of Doune, and was ground officer to the Earl of Murray. And should I have the pleasure of seeing you soon, I shall relate some fine anecdotes that passed between them, both of them being very active grasping men." James sold Tar prior to 1815. Later records appear to indicate that he moved to Coillechat, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, between east of Drumvaich and just across the river from Lanrick. | Stewart, James of Tar (I16592)
|
| 3798 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as: "James of Dunveirg, [a] tacksman [at] Duncragan [in] Callander parish [on] Sir P[atrick] Murray's estate. [He has] one son [who is] alive." Dunveirg is shown on modern maps as Dunaverig in Ruskie in the parish of Port of Menteith. It is located immediately adjacent to Tar where James' cousin, also named James, was a feuer. The chronology for this line given in Stewarts of the South is vague and it is possible that James and his extended family may be out by one generation as shown here. They have not been identified in public records as of yet. | Stewart, James (I16586)
|
| 3799 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as: "James Stewart formerly Tenant in Glenfinglas again of Ardcheanenock, Locheathrin [Loch Katrine] [on] Drummond's estate [in] Calander parish. They were long time foresters of Glenfinglas under [the] Glenbuckie family." | Stewart, James (I16488)
|
| 3800 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as: "James Stewart, brother to Dougald Stewart of Tulloch (Line 1 above), Balquhidder, left three sons who are all in Glasgow in the Manufacturing line and all of them in good circumstances." | Stewart, James (I16448)
