| 3801 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as: "James Stewart, late Tacksman Inverchearnaig, Braes of Balquhidder, Earl of Murray's estate. He left one son...(At this point their appears to be text missing in the original transcription or possibly in the original document, as the subsequent sentences do not follow from the previous.)...of a numerous family, but left one son whose name is...Alexander Stewart of Auchnahaurd." The Ardvorlich History says that James had only one son, thus it is suggested that the remainder of his sons must have died in infancy. According to Mrs. Stewart of Milton's account: "John Stewart and Mary Buchanan - their son James was grandfather or father to the Balquhidder Stewart. James had a son Alistir Mor. James was in Lanrick." The "Balquhidder Stewarts" that Mrs. Stewart of Milton was referring to are James and John Stewart, sons of Alastair Mor Stewart, son of this James Stewart. On 24 MAR 1768 James sponsored the baptism of Alexander Stewart, "child begotten in fornication" by John Stewart in Monachaltuarach and Catharine Ferguson, his servant. Does this imply that James was related to John Stewart in Monachaltuarach? From the Callander OPR: "James Stewart and Margaret Stewart both in the Parish were listed 22 January 1763 and married on the 31st ditto." | Stewart, James in Auchnahard and Invercarnaig (I16563)
|
| 3802 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as: "James Stewart, late tacksman of [L]orachans & Edralecheg, [which is the] same place. [James was] commonly called "the Black Serjant". [He] left three sons." The Callander OPR shows that James married firstly to Catharine Stewart as shown here, however no children have been found from that union. | Stewart, Sgt. James "Black Sergeant" in Lorachan and Edraleachdach (I16492)
|
| 3803 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as: "James Stewart, late tenant of Inverlochlarig-mor in Balquhidder, formerly [the] property of McGregor of Glencarnaig, now that of the Earl of Moray, left two sons, [namely] Alexander, [a] surgeon at Bo-ness in a respectable way, and who has a large family [and David, a respectable dancing-master in Stirling, who has one son." No matching birth record for son Alexander has been found. There is an excellent match for son David as shown here. Furthermore the Balquhidder OPR and Stewarts of the South show no other family that would match this description residing in Inverlochlarig. Thus we can be reasonably confident in the family as accounted here. The marriage of James Stewart and Catharine Stewart shown here is not confirmed. There is at least one other couple in the parish also named James Stewart and Catharine Stewart for whom the marriage in 1768 could also fit. The marriage register describes the couple simply as "both of this parish" which could apply to either couple. However, this James and Catherine are shown in the Balquhidder OPR having an illegitimate daughter in 1766 and then a legitimate son, David later in 1768 so the marriage does fit well here. There is no record of the birth of their first son Alexander. It is not known if Alexander may also have been born of the same parents prior to their marriage or if Alexander may have been the product of a previous marriage of his father, not recorded. In the absense of evidence either way Alexander is presently shown as the child of both James and Catharine for convenience. | Stewart, James in Inverlochlarig (I16564)
|
| 3804 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as: "James Stewart, late tenant of Wester Invernenty, Braes of Balquhidder, on the estate of the late Reverend Mr Stewart, had four sons who are all undertakers of road and other works about Glasgow." | Stewart, James (I16551)
|
| 3805 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as: "James Stewart, the lineal branch son to Donald Dubh, late tacksman of Grodich, Glenfinglas, was a tacksman of Monbreachy, port [of Menteith] parish, [which is the] Duke of Montrose's estate, Ld (Lordship) of Monteith - rent £250." In the Appendix to Stewarts of the South, James is listed as: "Mr James Stewart, Tacksman of Monvrechy, of the Ardvorlich family, a decent, respectable and honourable character, but has kept all his activity to himself, except one natural son. £250. Duke of Montrose's property." | Stewart, James in Monbreachy (I16566)
|
| 3806 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as: "James Stewart, their cousin, [a] tenant in Wester Torrie [in] Port [of Menteith] parish, [of which] one [of the name of] Buchanan [is the] proprietor [of that property]. [James] has four sons: two with himself and two in the West Indies." | Stewart, James in Wester Torrie (I16552)
|
| 3807 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as: "James Stewart, [a] tenant in Bracklin [in] Callendar [on the] Earl of Moray's property, [which is] the best farm in the farthest east of the parish. [James] has seven sons." James is listed in the Appendix of Stewarts of the South as: "Mr James Stewart, Tenant [in] Easter Bracklend, of the Gartnafuaran family, a very indifferent character, cheap rent £75, Earl of Murray's property, Callander parish." James is identified in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Callander Cemetery: "196 - by ------- STEWART in Bracklinn, in memory of (his) wife) Catharine McQueen 12 OCT 1828, age 62; James STEWART, farmer in Bracklinn died 12 MAY 1837, age 73." | Stewart, James in Brackland (I16631)

[James was a] tacksman of Crochavie [in] Aberfoil parish [in the] Lordship of Mentieth! Duke of Montrose's property! pays £130 of rent!!! who left five sons." (The multiple exclamation marks are preserved from the original document. Their meaning is uncertain, but the author of Stewarts of the South indicated that he was a very close friend of this family, so that may be the reason for his enthusiastic punctuation.) James married firstly on 8 MAY 1780 to Janet FERGUSSON b. ABT 1755 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. They were recorded as "both in this parish" at the time of their marriage. The Callander OPR records James' second marriage: James STEWART in this parish and Jannet STEWART in the parish of Aberfoil enlisted for proclamation in order to marriage 14th and were married the 24th January 1798. | Stewart, James (I16633)
|

|
| 3818 | James is described in Stewarts of the South as: "The late pious and worthy Reverend Mr James Stewart, Minister of Killin. The Reverend Mr James Stewart had three sons [who lived to adulthood]: John Peter & James." James is described in the Fasti Ecclesia as: "James Stuart, born 1701, licensed by the Presbytery of Dunblane 3rd July 1733; assistant at Weem; presented by John, Earl of Breadalbane, in 1736; ordained 23rd March 1737; died 30th June 1789. He translated the New testament into Gaelic, and began a translation of the Old Testament which was finished by his son, minister of Luss. there is a public monument to him in Killin. He married 23rd June 1742, Elizabeth Drummond, who died 22nd Feb. 1796 and had issue -- John, DD, minister of Luss, born 31st July 1743; Thomas, born 5th April 1745; Patrick, minister of this parish [Killin]; Elizabeth, born 28th April 1748; James, born 28th April 1751; Donald, born 13th Jan. 1754; Catherine, born 29th April 1756, (married James McLagan, minister of Blair Atholl). Publication - Tiomadh Nuadh ar Tighearna* (Duneudain**, 1767, and in 1796 the editio princeps of the New Testament in Gaelic)." * New Testament; ** Edinburgh. James' accomplishments in translating the New Testament into Gaelic are described in the following article: It was in every way desirable that a correct translation of the Gaelic Bible should be provided for the use of the Highlands, and this was finally undertaken by the Society for Propagating Christian Knowledge. The person employed to perform the work was the Rev. James Stewart of Killin, a man fully qualified for it, and although his translation retained too much of the Irish dialect of O'Donnell's Irish New Testament, it was welcomed as a highly creditable work, and as a great boon to the Highlands. Many minor changes have been made in the Gaelic New Testament of 1767, but it has been the basis of all subsequent editions which have sought merely to render certain portions of the work more idiomatic and pleasing to a Scottish ear. The publishing of this version of the New Testament proved a great benefit to the Highlands. Soon after the publication of the New Testament, it was resolved that the Old Testament should be translated into Gaelic also. This work, like the former, was undertaken by the Society for Propagating Christian Knowledge, assisted by a collection made throughout the congregations of the Church of Scotland amounting to £1483. The principal translator employed was the Rev. Dr. John Stewart of Luss, son of the translator of the New Testament, who translated three portions of the work, while a fourth portion, including the Prophets, was executed by the Rev. Dr. Smith of Campbellton, the accomplished editor of the Sean Dana. The whole work was completed and published in the year 1801. This work has been of incalculable service to the Highlands, and is one of the many benefits conferred upon that portion of the country by the excellent Society who undertook it. Objections have been taken to the many Irish idioms introduced into the language, and the extent to which the Irish orthography was followed, but these are minor faults, and the work itself is entitled to all commendation. -- http://www.electricscotland.com/history/literat/gaelicb.htm | Stewart, Rev.

|
| 3821 | James is found residing in Stank in 1851-1871 where he was a farmer. He is shown with no wife or children and is presumed to have never married. | Stewart, James (I16470)
|
| 3822 | James is found residing with his birth family in Tilbury in 1861 and 1871. His name is mistakenly transcribed in some later records as "Jos." instead of "Jas." James moved to North Dakota and married a woman named Abigail. | Tasker, James (I19008)
|
| 3823 | James is found with his parents in 1851 but has not been found in the 1861 census. | Cuthbert, James (I3401)
|
| 3824 | James is found with his parents in 1851 but is not found in later records. It is presumed that he died as a child. | Cuthbert, James (I3418)
|
| 3825 | James is found with his parents in Turnberry, Huron County, Ontario, Canada in 1881. James has not been found in 1891 or 1901. James is found in 1911 residing in Saltcoats, Saskatchewan, Canada with his wife and children and his brother John. In 1916 he is found still in Saltcoats. He is shown as a merchant who could also speak German. | Stewart, James Christopher (I16630)
|
| 3826 | James is listed among the claimaints in the Glasingall trial notes. The entry appears to describe him as "in Australia" but the place name is difficult to read and may be incorrect. | McLaren, James in Australia (I10405)
|
| 3827 | James is listed in the Munro History as being a son of David Cuthbert of Drakies and Jean Monro. No baptism record has been found for him. His birth as shown here is merely an estimate. | Cuthbert, James (I3419)
|
| 3828 | James is listed last among his father's children in his father's 1818 will in which he is described as being under the age of seventeen: "I also give and bequeath unto my son, James STEWART, one negro woman named Phebe. "It is also my will and desire that my negroes Charles and Ned and Deborah, Ned’s wife, shall be hired out for the purpose of educating and supporting my son James STEWART, and daughter Rolina E. STEWART, and when my son, James STEWART, shall arrive to the age of seventeen years, the aforesaid negroes, Charles, Ned and Deborah, to be equally divided among my aforesaid sons, William, Nolan, and James." | Stuart, James McDougal (I18658)
|
| 3829 | James is mentioned briefly in Stewarts of the South as "James, of [whom] descended James Stewart." | Stewart, James (I16487)
|
| 3830 | James is mentioned in Stewarts of the South as a minor son in 1815. | Stewart, James (I16436)
|
| 3831 | James is mentioned in Stewarts of the South but his name is not given: "Alexander Stewart that was in Grodich, had a brother who was [a] tenant in Auchinaird [in] Glenfinglas, who left a son called Robert, late resident in Gartmore." However the chronology of this entry is nearly impossible to reconcile. The earliest reasonable birth for his son, Robert Stewart in Gartmore, would be ca. 1745. The earliest reasonable date for Robert's first son would be ca. 1770. Stewarts of the South claims that three of Robert's four sons all had children of their own, some of whom appear to have been adult age ca. 1815. It would be very difficult for Robert to be a grandfather multiple times over -- and this is using the earliest reasonable chronology. Thus it must be considered that Stewarts of the South may be in error here. There are two reasonable candidates in the Port of Menteith OPR (where Gartmore is located) for Robert Stewart in Gartmore. Both of them have an eldest son named James. These two Roberts were married in 1757 and 1773, making their births likely in the range of 1710-1750. In searching the Callander OPR for a Robert Stewart, son of James Stewart, born in Auchnahard within that range we find there is indeed one such entry: Robert Stewart, son of James Stewart in Auchnahard, born and baptized on 30 SEP 1724 (there is no mother's name given in the entry). This entry almost certainly must be the birth of Robert Stewart in Gartmore. If so, then the chronology shown in Stewarts of the South cannot be correct. Stewarts of the South claims that James Stewart, tenant in Auchnahard, was the brother of Alexander Stewart in Grodich. What seems chronologically more likely is that James was the brother of Alexander's father as we presently show here. | Stewart, James (I16538)
|
| 3832 | James is mentioned in the following provision for his daughter: Mary Stewart, had a provision from her uncle, Robert Stewart of Ardvorlich, on 1 May 1705 in which she is styled his niece and daughter of the deceased James Stewart of McCorraston. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) | Stewart, James of McCorriston (I16590)
|
| 3833 | James is mentioned in the following reference in Stewarts of the South pertaining to his son, Alexander: "Alexander Stewart, known by the name of Lord Glasgow at Callander where he has some houses. He was once a grocer in Glasgow. He is both ignorant and purse proud. He is son to James Stewart, late tenant of Cuilanleogale in Callander parish on the Earl of Murray's estate." | Stewart, James in Coilantogle (I16634)
|
| 3834 | James is not found in 1841, but is found in 1851. John is found in 1841, but is not found in 1851. It is possible that they are the same person. | Prangley, James (I12834)
|
| 3835 | James is not found in 1841, but is found in 1851. John is found in 1841, but is not found in 1851. It is possible that they are the same person. | Prangley, John (I12866)
|

|
| 3843 | James is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South and is presumed to have died young. | Stewart, James (I16544)
|
| 3844 | James is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South and is thus presumed to have died young. | Stewart, James (I16440)
|
| 3845 | James is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South and may have died young, or may simply have been unknown to the author of Stewarts of the South. | Stewart, James (I16405)
|
| 3846 | James is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South so it is presumed that he died young. | Stewart, James (I16424)
|
| 3847 | James is not recorded in family history and may have died young. | Stewart, James (I16443)
|
| 3848 | James is not shown in the Annat Tree and thus he could be synonymous with the unknown son, but he did not go to America, at least not before 1815. He is described in Stewarts of the South as "a merchant in Doune" who owned several houses in Doune and had three sons in the mercantile in Glasgow. The following MIs from Kilmadock have now been identified, clearly pertaining to this branch: 39 James STEWART, merchant (at) Glasgow, died 20 JUL 1837. Catharine STEWART 13 MAR 1876, age 81, widow of Peter ROBERTSON, farmer (at) Craighead. 40 (next to 39) 1834. by James STEWART, merchant (in) Glasgow, in memory of (his) father James STEWART, merchant in Doune, 28 JUL 1818, age 60, mother Helen MACFARLANE, 16 MAR 1812, age 53, brothers Douglas and Alexander, sisters Margaret, Helen, Janet, and Agnes, youngest brother William 12 JAN 1867. 41 (next to 40) Peter ROBERTSON and Catharine STEWART (at) Craighead, 2nd daughter Margaret, 14 APR 1833, age 7 years.
