| 4151 | John Dubh Mhor Stewart had eight sons who all grew to adulthood and had descendants. Following traditional custom, his third son would have been named John. However no documentary evidence has been found to confirm the existence of this John. It's possible that this John's descendants failed in the male line or emigrated and were unknown to the author of Stewarts of the South. | Stewart, John? mac Iain Dubh Mhor (I16935)
|
| 4152 | John Dubh Mhor Stewart had eight sons who all grew to adulthood and had descendants. This son's exact identity is unknown, but onomastics would suggest that it might be Walter, however this is purely speculation at this point. "Walter" is suggested as the most likely patriarch of #8 Line - The Stewarts in Cuilantogle. | Stewart, Son ("Walter"?) mac Iain Dubh Mhor (I18323)
|
| 4153 | John Dubh Mhor Stewart had eight sons who all grew to adulthood and had descendants. This son's name is not known for sure but is suggested to be Robert. The following letter mentions Robert Stewart in Glenbeich: "1713 - Alex Stewart, London, wants brother Robert Stewart, in Glenbeach (Glenbeich) to send him money." Also a Robert Steuart entered into a contract of wadset for the lands of Ardveich with James Drummond, Earl of Perth, on 4 January, 1733 (source: Gordon MacGregor, author of The Red Book of Scotland, personal correspondence). These two Robert Stewarts may or may not be the same person. They may be either a son or grandson of John Dubh Mhor Stewart. There is insufficient evidence to know for certain. It is suggested, but not confirmed, that Lines 5 and 6 descend from this son. | Stewart, Robert? mac Iain Dubh Mhor in Glenbeich (I18166)

|
| 4160 | John Ferguson is credited as being the founder of North Bay, Ontario, Canada. Arriving on the "Lucy Dalton" was John Ferguson, a 19 year old Scotsman. Ferguson delivered the mail for the C.P.R. and upon his arrival he purchased 288 acres (at $1 per acre) of what would be downtown North Bay and the C.P.R. yards. Ferguson sold off most of the land and built his family home downtown. --------------- Scottish born John Ferguson (1861-1946), a nephew of Canadian Pacific Railroad vice-president Duncan McIntyre, arrived here with CPR steel in 1882. Credited with being a key founder of North Bay, Ferguson, whose vocation was described as "real estate, builder and capitalist", purchased 288 acres of land for a dollar an acre and his lot #20 was the first cleared for a town site. He became a postmaster, reeve, member of the Board of Trade, council member, magistrate and was four-term mayor starting in 1919. Contemporaries described Ferguson as "a hustler, an animated steam engine in trousers." John Ferguson had two large buildings constructed at this site which was his flagship property, located as it was close to the railroad station, and both suffered the same fate - destruction by fire. In the mid 1880's, the first large edifice featured twin towers; it burned to the ground in December 1904 with the town books and various public records being consumed in the blaze. Tenants at the time included the Torrance & Parks Grocery, coal and wood dealers McCluskey & Lindsay, Judge H.D. Leask and ironically Ferguson's own real estate office. With very little delay, Ferguson had another building constructed on the same site (corner of Main and Oak). This was of a flatiron design which had significant precedents in larger cities during this era. The upper stories of the three-storey building had a rusticated brick exterior with regularly spaced arched upper windows using coloured voussoirs to emphasize the classic design. The lower floor was a commercial space with larger storefront windows along the sidewalks. The building was crowned with a prominent cornice supported by brackets in an Italianate style. This burned to the ground in February 1964 as a result of "an explosion in the boiler room." Tenants in 1964 included Canadian National Telecommunications, and the popular A & B Record Bar along with over 25 offices and apartments. The monetary loss was significant for the time and the owner, J.H. Prisco, decided not to rebuild. The property served as a parking lot until the mid-1980s when it was sold to the city and the present parkette was created. https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=215887 | Ferguson, John (I25784)

Patrick Buchanan’s Company, includes: Corporal Alexander Stewart, Pvt John Ferguson, Pvt Archibald Stewart, Pvt James Stewart, Pvt Peter Stewart. Capt. RB Somerville’s Company includes Pvt John Stewart. And the Dundee Local Militia 1838 paylist: Corp. Alexander Stewart, Corp. John Ferguson. John Ferguson is buried in Old Zion United Church Cemetery, Dundee, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. | Ferguson, Cpl. John (I24952)
|
| 4163 | John Fisher was born in 1805 in the Kirkton of Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. According to family records, John was the youngers of three sons whose mother died not long after he was born. John was said to have been raised by his uncle John Stewart in Balliemore (Dallanlaggan) and his spinters aunts Katie and Kristy Stewart. In 1833, John's father, James Fisher, emigrated to Canada with his two older sons, Duncan and Alexander at which point John Fisher allegedly inherited Balliemore. The details of this family tradition were passed down and recorded not in John's branch, but among the Canadian descendants of John's brother, Duncan Fisher. The details appear to have become muddled in the retelling over generations as census and parish records show a different story. According to parish records, John Fisher was actually the oldest of James Fisher's sons. No record has been found of the mother's death, however it is likely that she did die shortly after the birth of her youngest son, who was Alexander, not John. As James Fisher probably did not abandon his children after their mother died, it is unlikely that John Fisher was raised exclusively by his Stewart uncle and aunts. What is far more likely is that they simply all lived in the Stewart household together. John Fisher's uncle, John Stewart (after whom, John may have been named), died prior to 1815, when John Fisher was still a young boy. John Stewart was then succeeded in Balliemore by his younger brother, Duncan Stewart, who died in 1836. John Fisher would have been 28 and his brothers Duncan and Alexander would have been 26 and 24 respectively at the time of emigration in 1833. It makes much more sense that John, as the older son, would have inherited his father's home and that the younger sons would have accompanied their father to Canada. After the death of John's uncle, Duncan Stewart, the last surviving Stewart son, in 1836, the property of Balliemore John Fisher was next in line to inherit as his mother had been the eldest daughter and none of John's Stewart aunts married. Census records show not only aunts Katie and Kirsty, but also John's spinster aunt Margaret Stewart living at Balliemore through the mid-1800s. In 1841, at age 35, John Fisher was residing in Balliemore, Glenbuckie, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland with the following family: John Fisher 35 (head) Janet Fergusson 85 (wife's grandmother) Margt Steuart 60 (aunt) Christian Steuart 50 (aunt) Catharine Steuart 55 (aunt) Jean McGowan 20 (servant) Walter Buchanan 25 (servant) On 15 July 1848, at age 43, John Fisher married in Callander parish to Christian McGregor. On 5 July 1850, John Fisher and Christian McGregor had their first and only child, Duncan in Ballimore in Glenbuckie, Balquhidder parish, Perthshire, Scotland. John died tragically three months later on 26 Oct 1850 having fallen from his horse. His death was prior to the 1851 census so there is no further census data for him. | Fisher, John (I26665)
|
| 4164 | John Fowler. He was a soldier in an artillery Co. from Northfield, with his brother Clark in 1814. | Fowler, John (I24643)
|
| 4165 | John Franklin Tait was born in 1890 in Tacoma, Pierce, Washington, USA. In 1901, at age 10, he was residing in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, with his parents and siblings. In 1911, at age 20, Franklin J Tait was residing in Esquimalt, British Columbia, Canada with his parents and siblings. He was employed as a druggist. In 1914, John Franklin Tait submitted Attestation Papers for the Canadian Expeditionary Force in which he indicates that he was born in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, was currently residing in Victoria, and was employed as a clerk. There is no record that he and Mary had any children. | Tait, John Franklin (I18999)
|
| 4166 | John Galloch is believed to be the son of Duncan Galloch, but this is not verified. This John Galloch is shown here has having married secondly to Elizabeth McVorist, however, it is just as possible that they are two separate John Gallochs. If they are two separate John Gallochs then the John Galloch who married Elizabeth McVorist could just as easily be the son of Patrick Galloch and Janet Bruce, or John Galloch & Janet Broun, or Duncan Galloch & Janet MacGregor. This present arrangement is quite speculative. | Galloch, John (I6659)
|
| 4167 | John Gillespie is found in 1861 as a newborn residing with his parents in Glasgow. He has not been found in the 1871 census or any later records and is presumed to have died in childhood. | Gillespie, John (I6854)
|
| 4168 | John Graham of Nether Glenny was married four times and had relations with two additional women. He had 14 lawful children and two natural children. Only his natural son, Archibald, is shown here, as he is the only child relevant to our Stewart research. Graham researchers are encouraged to consult Graham of Nether Glenny resources for the remainder of this family. Information on Graham of Nether Glenny submitted by Belinda Dettman. | Graham, John of Nether Glenny (I7158)
|
| 4169 | John Graham Stewart is mentioned in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856): "John Graham Stewart residing at No 5 St Vincent Place, Glasgow is the oldest son of the late John Stewart, farmer Kippen." (1851) John is one of the unnamed sons of his father ldescribed in Stewarts of the South as "has four sons; one of them a surgeon in Glasgow, the rest at home - not this one a Writer the third a merchant in Glasgow, the fourth is home." The wording is confusing. It would appear that ca. 1820, three of John's sons were adults living in Glasgow, one a merchant, one a surgeon, and the other a writer (lawyer), and the fourth being a minor still residing at home. However we only have record of births for three sons. 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." John Graham Stewart has not been found in later public records. | Stewart, John Graham (I21738)

|
| 4171 | John had a first cousin named John Alexander Stewart who was the same age. It is not entirely clear in later census records which John is which, therefore some confusion may exist here. | Stewart, John (I16915)
|
| 4172 | John Harold was a Member of Parliament for Brantford. | Harold, John (I7595)
|
| 4173 | John has not been found in 1841. In 1851, John was residing with his parents. His family immigrated to Australia in 1852. See his father's file for further information. According to family records, John married in Australia to Elizabeth Crawford and had a large family of 14 children there. | Stewart, John (I21539)
|
| 4174 | John has not been found in any census records. He may have emigrated or died prior to 1841. | Stewart, John (I17093)

|
| 4177 | John immigrated with his brother Alexander to South Australia where he married and had children. | Anderson, John (I342)
|
| 4178 | John inherited Appin by 1564 and must have been of adult age by that point. He married firstly in 1575 to Katherine Campbell, daughter of John Campbell, 1st of Lochnell. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland. See that work for details.) | Stewart, John 5th of Appin (I17151)
|
| 4179 | John inherited his father's farm. It's not known if his elder brothers died or emigrated. | McNaughtan, John (I10719)
|
| 4180 | John is believed to be the John Bruce referred to in his uncle John Stewart's 1867 will as a nephew residing in Glasgow. 1851 and 1871 census records show this John Bruce residing in Glasgow and working as a soap boiler. Family records indicate that this John Bruce immigrated to America 1879-1880. | Bruce, John (I1898)
|
| 4181 | John is described in family tradition as a Jacobite soldier and a younger brother of James "Seamus na Coille" Stewart, 2nd in Cuilt, however this is chronologically challenging. It is more likely that he was the younger brother of James Stewart, 1st in Cuilt, and that the two Jameses have simply been confused for each other. According to research done by a descendant of this branch (Alison Milnes from Yorkshire) John was born in 1709. He fought at Culloden in 1746 with the Jacobites. He is believed to have remained in the area of Culloden after the battle and settled in Elginshire. Subsequent research has more precisely identified his location to be a farmstead called Leth na Coille near the village of Nethy Bridge on the edge of the Abernethy Forest in Upper Strathspey, Moray, Scotland (about 30 km southwest of Elgin) in the heart of Clan Grant territory. It would appear that John Stuart may have taken refuge under the protection of Clan Grant. It is noteworthy that John's son, Donald, married the daughter of one of the senior families of Clan Grant and that one of the founding partners in The Northwest Company was Robert Grant, a London merchant born in Upper Strathspey. According to a reference cited below, John's grandson, John Stuart, the fur trader and explorer for The Northwest Company, was a cousin to David Stuart an earlier fur trader and explorer for The Northwest Company (son of James McTavish McAlasdair Stewart, 2nd of Cuilt, shown below). As such, this John Stuart's line must descend from the Cuilt Stewarts. It is worth drawing attention to the fact that John Stuart's residence was named Leth na Coille (also found as Leth-na-Coyle and Leanchoil). Leth na Coille literally means "side of the woods" or "next to the woods". The fact that this residence was located on the outskirts of the Abernethy Forest would easily explain its name. But it cannot be ignored that John's birth family resided at Tigh na Coille in Strathyre. It's possible that the name of Leth na Coille may also have been chosen as an homage to the family's primary residence, Tigh na Coille. John Stuart married Marjory STEWART, presumably in Moray, but no record of their marriage has been found. According to family tradition, Marjory was born 1729 in Leanchoil Farm, Abernethy, Speyside, Elginshire, Scotland, however this may be a confusion with her later residence, or it could indicate that the farmstead of Leth na Coil came into the family by way of this marriage. It might be suggested that the cousinship between John Stuart the Explorer, below and David Stewart the Explorer above, was a maternal cousinship on Marjory's side, however that would be highly unlikely as Marjory's Stewart family was already in Elgin, perhaps residing at Leanchoil in 1729, before the Rising. The more reasonable explanation is that John Stuart simply settled into the area after Culloden, as we have seen that others also did. | Stuart, John (I18706)
|
| 4182 | John is described in Stewarts of the South (ca. 1815) as being already deceased along with all of his brothers. John is the only son of James Stewart of Tar to be mentioned in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions. (See notes on John's father for more information). As such it is inferred that John was the longest surving son of James. | Stewart, John (I16970)
|
| 4183 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as "a tacksman at Gartnafuaran, which was once the property of Stewart of Don in Balquhidder parish, but is now (ca.1815-20) Sir John McGregor's estate." This reference is confusing as Sir John McGregor did not own Gartnafuaran and "Stewart of Don" is not a recognized name. Given the incompleteness of this account, it's likely that the author of Stewarts of the South has made errors here and did not know this family well. John Stewart is described as having three sons, one adult and two minors around 1815. Nothing more is known of John's family. | Stewart, John in Gartnafuaran (I17210)
|
| 4184 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as "John is a crofter near the same place [and] has six sons [who are] under age." The "same place" may refer to either Lochearnhead or Achra, which are nearly adjacent anyway. | Stewart, John (I17079)
|
| 4185 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as "John is a writer (lawyer) in Glasgow." | Stewart, John (I17030)
|
| 4186 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as "John Stewart, late tenant of Tulloch", but his exact relationship to the family is not given. However, John is also cited as a witness in the 1764 paternity trial of Robert Stewart in Lednascridan, in which John is described as a brother of Dougal Stewart in Tulloch. John is described in Stewarts of the South as having two sons: one a soldier, and the other a bleacher in Campsie, but these sons are not named. | Stewart, John in Tulloch (I17240)
|
| 4187 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as "John Stewart, present tenant of Lianach. [He has] three sons [who are all] minors [and pays] £200 rent." | Stewart, John (I17220)
|
| 4188 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as an underaged son. | Stewart, John (I17084)
|
| 4189 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as being "a shepherd in Tulloch". He married on 23 DEC 1813 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Margaret STEWART (both in this parish). Her birth family is unknown. | Stewart, John in Tulloch (I17239)
|
| 4190 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as being a "merchant in Hamburgh". | Stewart, John (I17035)
|
| 4191 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as being a bachelor residing with his widowed mother in Kip, Strathyre, Balquhidder in 1815. | Stewart, John (I17213)
|
| 4192 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as being a shepherd with two underage children (ca. 1820), and being the son of Peter Stewart. In 1814, at age 18. John Stewart married in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Janet McDiarmid. Janet McDiarmid was the illegitimate daughter of Daniel/Donald McDiarmid and Euphemia McGregor. Euphemia and her family lived in Glentarken, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, and then moved to Rannaig, Glen Ogle, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, where John Stewart and his parents lived. It is not certain that she is the Janet McDiarmid that John married but she matches the age of his wife in the 1841 and 1851 census and she was i the right place at the right time. In 1851 John is residing in Lochearnhead, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife Janet. In 1861 John is residing with his brother Robert in Callander. | Stewart, John (I16983)
|
| 4193 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as being from Duart in Glenfinglas, but presently (1815) a Moss Laird (living on Flander's Moss, Kincardine, Perthshire). He had one son who was described as a brewer and innkeeper in Stirling with three or four sons himself. The marriage and children shown here are not confirmed but are an excellent match with the preceding description. The marriage shown here records John as being from Balquhidder parish and Jean from Callander. This family is found having children from 1773 - 1784 in Groddich in Glenfinglas, which is very close to Duart. Then about 1785-ish they moved to Blair Drummond Moss. They are found in the 1814 Blair Drummond Moss census residing at Drip Moss #10 and are recorded as having come from Balquhidder. The fact that John and Jean lost four children after moving to the Moss, including all three who were born after they moved to the Moss, is a testament to the harsh living conditions on the Moss. | Stewart, John in Duart (I17203)
|
| 4194 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as being one of the four sons of Charles Stewart: "two grown up to men, the one with himself and the other in the way of service, two remaining under age." John would be one of the younger two. | Stewart, John (I17015)
|
| 4195 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as going by the nickname of "Iain Mor Bhuntata" which means "Big John of the Potatoes" -- presumably he grew potatoes on his farm. He is recorded in Stewarts of the South as being "lately in Dallinlaggan", thus he died before 1815, and as also having one (surviving) son, Alexander, a spirit dealer in Edinburgh. As John probably would have named his first son Robert then it is safe to suggest that John probably had a son prior to Alexander who died young. An excellent OPR match can be found with the following family. It is suggested that John married on 12 JAN 1765 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Catharine Stewart (with John of Balquhidder and Catharine of Callander parish). Catharine's birth family is not known, but nomastics would suggest that her father's name was Alexander Stewart. | Stewart, John Mor Bhuntata in Dallanlaggan (I17323)
|
| 4196 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as having resided in Tulloch and having three underage sons prior to 1815. John married "clandestinely" on 16 AUG 1807 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Christian MCINTYRE. | Stewart, John (I17238)
|
| 4197 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as the successor to his father. | Stewart, John (I17090)
|
| 4198 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "3 John, [who had] something of Dr Stewart's character. [John was] a workman to Lord Doune [and] was seized with a palsy [and now] lives near Doune Lodge. [He has] two pecks of meal per week from the Earl of Murray." | Stewart, John (I16961)
|
| 4199 | John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Dr John Stewart, Minister of Luss [on] Lochlomondside. He cannot be called a bad man, but has a good deal of unsociable pride, which no minister should have, as their doctrine is humility and charity, which many of them preach and fewer practice. Dr Stewart hath one son Joseph." John is described in the Fasti Ecclesia Volume 3, for the parish of Luss in Dunbarton: "JOHN STUART, born 31st July 1743, son of James S., min. of Killin ; licen. by Presb. of Edinburgh 27th Feb. 1771; ord. to Arrochar 12th May 1774 ; trans, to Weem 2nd May 1776 ; pres. by Sir James Colquhoun of Luss, Bart., Nov. 1776 ; trans, and adm. 27th Aug. 1777; D.D.
