| 4851 | John Stewart was killed in a railway accident on the Forth-Clyde Railway about 300 yards east of Buchlyvie Station, Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland. | Stewart, John (I31157)
|
| 4852 | John Stewart was known as Jake. John was residing with his parents in 1861 & 1871 and employed as an "apprentice [illegible]." In 1881, John Stewart was residing with his widowed father and employed as a joiner. "As a member of the 10th Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers (Glasgow Highlanders) John (Jake) was present at Queen Victoria's Edinburgh Review ("The Wet Review") in Holyrood Park. 25 Aug 1881" In 1901 John was residing in Craigmilu, Carmunnock, Lanarkshire, Scotland, with his wife and children and employed as a joiner. John died in 1916. According to the Lednascriddan Family Tree: John m Charlotte Allan WEIR (1867-1965). According to James Stewart’s notes, they had the following children: 1894 Gavin. m. Jane Ferguson. 4 children. 1895 Robert Sibbald Weir. m. Thomasina Cochrane Henderson. 2 children, 1 d.inf. descendants not published for privacy reasons. 1897 John Bremner. m. Marjory Lumsden.

|
| 4853 | John Stewart was residing with his parents until 1881. He cannot be confidently identified in later records. | Stewart, John (I16228)
|
| 4854 | John Stewart was the original owner of the property later purchased by Col. MacLean of MacLean Publishing fame. This property was later bequeathed to the Presbyterian Church in Canada, as the MacLean Estate, and is now used as a retreat centre, known as Crieff Hills Retreat Centre. | Stewart, John (I16358)
|
| 4855 | John Stewart was the senior member of the Stewarts in Tulloch. He had no children. On his death the seniority of the Stewarts in Tulloch passed to his younger brother, Duncan Stewart. John Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John Stewart at Alloa, who is in the employment of the Steens of Kilbeagie, was son to the deceased Dougald Stewart, late tacksman of Tulloch. John has no sons." John resided in Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland, just east of Stirling. John was described as having "no sons" but it is not known if had daughters. | Stewart, John in Alloa (I16835)
|
| 4856 | John Stewart's birth family and clan connection have not been identified with confidence. He is most likely a descendant of the Stewarts of Tulloch (Branch V of the Stewarts of Ardvorlich), as presently shown here, however the sketchy and incomplete description of that branch in Stewarts of the South makes it very difficult to make a confident connection. John Stewart is shown here with two wives, but this is not confirmed. There are two families in Tulloch headed by a father, John Stewart, who line up perfectly consecutively as a possible first and second marriage for John Stewart. The first family was living at Easter Tulloch and the second family was residing at Second Lot of Tulloch. It is believed that Easter and Second Lot are the same place. However, it's possible these are two separate John Stewarts and two separate families. --- James Stewart and Margaret McNab 1764 March 25th James Stewart and ___ McNab his wife in Tulloch had a child baptized and called Catharine. 1765 August 23rd James Stewart and Mary McNab in Innerlochlarickbeg had a child baptized and called Donald. 1767 July 31 James Stewart in Tulloch and Margt.

|
| 4857 | John Stewart's birth has not been confidently identified. His grandsons, Allan Stewart and Robert Stewart were successfuly watchmakers in Trongate, Glasgow in the 1800s. They are suspected to be related to James Stewart, a watchmaker in Trongate in the late 1700s. If so, it must be either through a parallel descend (uncle/nephews) or through marriage. STEUART, JOHN, son of ALLAN STEUART/MARTHA BOYD FR188 (FR188), 14/12/1736 | Stewart, John (I31710)
|
| 4858 | John Stewart's birth is estimated to be about 1690 in Lednascridan, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. No record has been found of John Stewart's birth as it likely occurred prior to the commencement of the Balquhidder parish register. John Stewart's widow is cited at the records of the 1764 trial of Robert Stewart in Lednascriddan. Little is known of John. He is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South; only his sons Peter and Robert and their families are mentioned. However sufficient information is presented on Peter and Robert to allow us to identify John in the Balquhidder parish records. John is listed in the 1755-56 Statistics of the Annexed Estates as having been forfeited in the lands of Lednascridan as a Jacobite. John was forfeited along with his co-possessors, Archibald McLaren and Duncan McLaren along with five cottars. The statistics record 8 families residing in Lednascridan with 3 males and 3 females under 10, 3 males and no females between 10-17, 7 adults males and 12 adult females, for a total of 28 residents, only 17 of which could speak English. The lands of Lednascridan were returned to the family in 1776 in a lease from the Commissioners for the Forfeited Estates which was granted jointly to Peter and Robert Stewart (sons of John) and John McLaren Sr. and John McLaren Jr. who were presumably related to either Archibald or Duncan McLaren who lost the estate in 1756. The Stewart lease on Lednascridan expired in 1816 while in the hands of John’s grandson, John Stewart, of Lednascridan. John married on 17 JUN 1721 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Mary Steuart. Mary's birth family is unknown but onomastics would suggest that her father was named Peter/Patrick. John is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South, however he is onomastically consistent with the reference to Peter Stewart of Lednascridan, below. | Stewart, John in Lednascridan (1-2 Line) (I16661)
|
| 4859 | John Stewart's birth record has not been found. His year of birth is estimated based on the ages of his children and the estimated age of his wife. His birth location is not confirmed but his birth family resided in Ardcheanochdan. John Stewart belongs to 2-Line of the Stewarts in Ardcheanochdan and Duart (III-Branch of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie). He is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John Stewart, once tacksman [of] Ardcheanchnock, [is] now in Coircromby near Callander [which property was] purchased by the Earl of Murray from Drummond of Perth. This lot consist of Bochastill, Tarndown & Coircromby, which cost £15000. [The] foresaid John [is] yet alive [and has] four sons: 1. James, a Lieutenant [who] died in east India 2. Duncan, who made application to yourself for a letter [and has] gone to the west Indies and is doing well 3. Alexander, a cattle dealer with his father 4. Donald, [who is] at home with himself John Stewart is an honest man pays £75 of rent." The Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Vol. 3, says that "Christie Stewart of the Ardveich family" married secondly to John Stewart of Coirchrombie. | Stewart, John in Corriechrombie (I16836)
|
| 4860 | John Stewart's exact date and location of birth is unknown. As an adult he resided in Coldoch and Earn in Kilmadock parish, Perthshire, Scotland. No birth record has been found for him in Kilmadock parish. Coldoch Estate is located in Kilmadock parish south and west of Doune and just north of Frew. Its property crosses into Kinardine parish. Stewarts of the South does not mention John Stewart by name. It mentions his son, Archibald, and says that the family belonged to the Stewarts of Ballechin. They are shown as Line 2 of the family which precedes with James Stewart in Kilbride, but the exact relationship between the two lines is not identified. Kilmadock parish records confirm that the Archibald Stewart mentioned in Stewarts of the South is John Stewart in Coldoch and Earn. Stewarts of the South says: "Archibald Stewart, a merchant of Stirling, has likewise a strong family. They were for a long time residents on a farm near Doune, called the Deanston. John Campbell, who built the George Inn [in] Perth was married to one of these women and likewise his uncle who was vintner at the foot of the Highstreet [in] Perth to an aunt of his." Stewarts of the South indicates that John's family belonged to the Stewarts of Ballechin. As such, he was probably born near Ballechin in Logierait parish in Perthshire, Scotland and moved to Kilmadock as a young man. No match has been found for him among the documented descendants of the Stewarts of Ballechin in the Red Book of Scotland. He is likely from an undocumented lesser line. John's son, Archibald's matriculation record from the University of Glasgow indicates that Archibald was the second son of John Stewart, a farmer in Kilmadock. Kilmadock parish records show Archibald as the eldest on of John Stewart and Jean McCulloch. As his matriculation entry says he was the second son of his father, then John Stewart must have had a prior relationship by which he had a son. Parish records show that he had a prior family with Katharine Graeme by which he had two sons, James and Alexander. Later parish records show Archibald and Alexander Stewart in Muirend of Deanston witnessing the baptisms of several of John Stewart's grandchildren. From these entries we can conclude that John's son, James, did not survive, and that Alexander Stewart from John's first relationship is the half-brother of Archibald Stewart who is mentioned in Stewarts of the South. In 1739, John Stewart in Coldoch witnessed the baptism of the child of Susan Stewart and Moses Thomson, believed to be his sister. John Stewart in Coldoch and Earn had relations firstly with Katharine Graeme. No marriage has been found for them in Kilmadock parish. With her, he had six children. Between 1749-1754, Katharine Graeme died. In 1754, John Stewart is found in Earn, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, having a family with Jean McCulloch. No marriage record has been found for them. They had eight children together. From Stewarts of the South, we can infer that one of John Stewart's daughters was married to the uncle of John Campbell who built the George Inn in the town of Perth. The uncle was a vintner on the High Street in Perth. | Stewart, John in Coldoch and Earn (I26144)
|
| 4861 | John Stewart's first is name not recorded on his baptism record in the Balquhidder OPR. John is described in Stewarts of the South Appendix as residing in Kirkline, Flander's Moss, Blair Drummond, Kincardine-by-Doune parish, and as having a family of sons who are under age, ca. 1815. The 1814 Moss Census shows John residing at #9 Kirk Line in Blair Drummond Moss, just three farms away from his brother Donald at #12 Kirk Lane. They owned two chickens and one cow. Their former residence was given as Balquhidder. John married firstly on 21 and 31 May 1803 in Balquhidder and Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland to Mary Gow b: 1778 in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. Their marriage record indicates that John was from Balquhidder and Mary was from Comrie. John and Mary's daughter Margaret was the first of this family to emigrate. Margaret and her husband James went with James' family to Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada in 1830. In 1843 the church in Scotland split and the Free Kirk broke away. John's eldest son, Daniel, joined the Free Kirk and John and his son Daniel had a falling out over their religious differences. Daniel immigrated two years later in 1845 to Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada and, five years later, after John and Daniel had reconciled, John and Mary followed and settled on a farm in Horton Township, Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada. | Stewart, John in Kirkline (I16816)
|
| 4862 | John Stewart's name is not known for certain and is thus shown with a question mark. He is believed but not confirmed to be the father of Walter Stewart in Gartmore, Alexander Stewart, and James "The Elder" Stewart in Craignuchty. However, none of these relationships are proven. | Stewart, _____ in Gartmore (5-Line of Coille Mhor) (I29997)
|
| 4863 | John Stewart's name is not known for certain; thus, he is shown with a question mark. His name is suggested on onamstic grounds only. No documentary evidence of his existence has been found. The three children shown here appear to share a common father likely named John Stewart, who was a progenitor to some of the later lines of the Stewarts in Torrie and Brackland. | Stewart, John? in Brackland (I29792)
|
| 4864 | John Stewart's origin is unknown. He is identified as "John Stewart in Aldanabreck" at the marriage of his daughter Helen. No birth has been found for her. John is contemporary with a Stewart family in Aldanabreck from the Stewarts of Muirlaggan and Lianach (Glenbuckie II). | Stewart, John in Aldanabreck (I30775)
|
| 4865 | John Stewart's origins are uncertain. He resided in Coilantogle, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. Stewarts of the South identifies three families residing at Coilantogle in the 18th century. John Stewart doesn't match the descriptions of any of them very well. John Stewart is an excellent onomastic match with John Stewart who was born 10 Sep 1744 at Ardcheanochdan in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland, as the son of Duncan Stewart and Elizabeth Stalker. ("1744 - Duncan Stewart and Elizabeth Stalker in Ardkenknokan had a son born the 10th Sept, 19th baptized, called John." - Callander Parish Register). However, Jared and Belinda suggest he may be the following John Stewart, b 1751, eldest son of Andrew Stewart and Catherine Murdoch, suggested as belonging to the Stewarts in Blairgarry. Andrew Stewart and Catherine Murdoch, 1750 Feb 24 Andrew Stewart par: and Katrin Murdoch Kill~ - marryed 19th march yrafter (Kincardine parish register) 1.

James Stewart 1767 May 10 Jas, son to Andrew Stewart and ___ at Thornhill. (There's another Andrew Stewart at Thornhill. Norrieston is Thornhill.) ---- What can be confirmed for John Stewart is that on 8 Jan 1773 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, John Stewart and Janet Buchanan were married. They were both from Callander parish. Their first child arrived ten months later. They had nine children in total. --- John Stewart was previously incorrectly recorded as having a son, George Stewart, who was a furnaceman in Newmains. George is actually a grandson by John's son, John, Jr. The error was due to an incorrect reading of John Jr.'s will. --- John Stewart was previously identified as the following, but is no longer believed to be so: Stewarts of the South appears to describe this John Stewart as: "John, [who is an] innkeeper [in] Doune. [He has] three sons [who are] minors." However, this cannot be chronologically correct as this John's children were all born in the 1770s and 1780s and would not have been minors in 1815. --- Families in Coilantogle: Ardvorlich III.4. 4 line 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. He has no family. He is cousin to James Ban, a man of different turn of mind. (If the author made a mistake about Alexander's father's name, and if it should be John, then this could match.) Ardvorlich VII.8 (Dalveich) 8th Line Walter Stewart – late tacksman in Cuilanleogail, Callendar parish, on the Earl of Murray’s estate. (Presumably Walter is dead in ca. 1815.) He left three sons: A son of unknown name who is a soldier. He has a family. A son of unknown name who is a labourer in the town of Stirling. He has a family. Another son of unknown name who is also a labourer in the town of Stirling. He has a family. Bains of Glenfinglas (Does not match) 1st John Tacksman of Cuilanteogal & Tarnduin, Callander parish, Earl of Murray’s estate. Rent �175. Tarnduin was bought from the Perth family. John is a bachelor. Glenbuckie V.4 (Lorachan) (Does not match) Duncan Stewart, [a] late tacksman [at] Cuilanleogail [in] Callander parish [on the] Earl of Murray’s estate. [He] left three sons:... Gartnafuaran II (Blairgarry) (poor fit) There was one Andrew Stewart, [a] tenant in Cuil-n-togle who left two sons: William and John. 1. William is ground officer to the Earl of Moray in the town of Doune. [He] has one son in a very respectable, affluent way in the West Indies. 2. John is a tenant in ?Enapach (Lagrannach and Tynriach are the only close matches) near Callander [which is] part of Burrel Drummond’s estate. [He] had four sons; only two are alive: i. one, Robert, the oldest, [is] in good circumstances [and] is a spirit dealer in Glasgow. (The following entry appears later in the original text but has been moved earlier to this place here to improve readability.) This spirit dealing business is a mystical one to me. I much doubt that they are a good deal indebted to Arnswell in Glasgw with vitrol and other combustibles, which are unknown to me. This Rob would, at one time, have been glad of a kilt full of potatoes or porridge, although he now affects all the splendour at his table that would serve a Lord’s son. He is a man of some abilities, if he were moderate in his manner. [He] was sometime a traveller to a house in Glasgow and had all the assurance of a highwayman’s horse, and might pass for Capt Plume or Sergt Kitt in the “Recruiting Officer”. Though I have marked him out, there is many of his sort in Glasgow in that line (of spirit dealers?). He is said to be worth £9,000 or £10,000, and has three sons [who are] under age. ii. Alexander, who went to the East Indies some years ago and is in a prosperous way there. | Stewart, John in Coilantogle (I16600)
|
| 4866 | John Stewart's parentage is unknown. He resided at Kepdowrie, Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, which is adjacent to Garchell. He may be a descendant of the Stewarts of Garchell. | Stewart, John in Kepdowrie (I31441)
|
| 4867 | John Stewart's place of birth is recorded as Lickanstridan in the Balquhidder parish register. 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. In 1841, at age 55 (sic) John Stewart was residing in Lagrannoch, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and younger sons, James and Malcolm. In1851, at age 70, John Stewart was residing in 1851 in Lagrannoch, just east of Callander Village, with his wife, Christian (74, b Balquhidder) and their son James Stewart (30, b Callander) and grandson, Robert (7, b Callander). John Stewart has not been found in 1861 and is presumed to have died between 1851-1861. | Stewart, John in Tulloch (I16849)

| 4869 | John Stewart, 14th of Ardvorlich, The Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Vol. 3, (ibid), p. 35 End notes: (8) I have lately had some correspondence with Captain B.G. [Bernard George] Stewart, Milton Cottage, Morhamchurch, Bude, Cornwall, who is descended from a Donald Stewart, who settled at Hythie, Aberdeenshire, after Culloden. According to his family tradition, supported by a letter written by his forbear George Stewart in 1848, this Donald was of Ballachallan stock. | Stewart, Capt. Bernard George of Milton Cottage (I27137)
|
| 4870 | John Stewart, 2nd of Benmore, purchased the lands of Glenbuckie from his ailing brother-in-law, Alexander Stewart, 12th Glenbuckie. John and Mary had no children. On his death the estate of Glenbuckie passed to his sister Elizabeth, then to her son, and finally to John's half-brother, Duncan. Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "JOHN STEWART OF BENMORE AND GLENBUCKIE, in favour of whom and in implementation of his parent’s marriage contract in which it was stipulated that he would infeft the heir-male in all lands obtained during the marriage, his father granted him a disposition of the lands of Corriecherich, the pendicle of Inveronacher and the forest of Benmore on 18 March 1744. He sold those lands to John Campbell, Earl of Breadalbane, by Disposition dated 6 March 1756 and purchased Glenbuckie from his wife's family. He married on 8 August 1752, to Margaret, daughter of Alexander Stewart of Glenbuckie, and dsp in 1760, when he was succeeded by his sister, Elizabeth." | Stewart, John 2nd of Benmore and 13th of Glenbuckie (I17327)
|
| 4871 | John Stewart, 5th of his name, was born 29 Dec 1857 in Grodich in Glen Finglas in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland, as the only son of John Stewart and Margaret Stewart. In 1861, at age 3, John Stewart was residing at Glen Finglas, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his parents and newborn sister. In 1871, at age 13, John Stewart was residing in Glen Finglas, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his parents and his sister. He was attending school. Also residing with them was his 97-year-old grandfather, John Stewart. In 1881, at age 23, John Stewart was residing at Grodich in Glen Finglas, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his parents and sister. He was employed as a farmer's son. In 1891, at age 33, John Stewart was residing at Glen Finglas Farmhouse, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his parents and sister. He was employed as a farmer's son. Sometime between 1891-1897, John Stewart moved to Ledard on the north shore of Loch Ard in Aberfoyle parish, Perthshire, Scotland, where he worked as a farm manager for the Duke of Montrose. On 10 Dec 1897, at age 34, John Stewart, farm manager, bachelor, residing at Ledard, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland, son of John Stewart, farmer, deceased, and Margaret Stewart, deceased, married in Kilbogie, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, to Mary McNiell Connelly, age 24, school teacher, spinster, residing at Kilbogie, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, daughter of Peter Connelly, teacher, deceased, and Elizabeth McNeill. Witnesses: Robert Fisher and Jessie Connelly. In 1901, at age 40, John Stewart was residing at Ledard Cottage, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and infant children. He was employed as a farm manager. In 1911, at age 50, John Stewart was residing at Ledard Cottage, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and children. He was employed as a farm manager for the Duke of Montrose. Two of his children went on to become doctors. | Stewart, John V (I16522)

| 4872 | John STEWART, b. ABT 1792 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. John is recorded in Stewarts of the South as being a son of Caleb Stewart, alive ca. 1815, but no further description is given of him. No record of his birth has been found and it's not known if he had any children. | Stewart, John (I16592)
|
| 4873 | John Stewart, born 1682 (traditionally in Edinburgh, but perhaps in or near Carrickfergus), died 6 April 1741 in Londonderry, New Hampshire, buried in Forest Hill Cemetery near Londonderry; married 1st. Elizabeth Clark of Carrickfergus; married 2nd. Elizabeth Forsyth. John came to America in 1718 with his mother and those of his children then living. Eight children of John are known: - Charles Stewart - Robert Stewart, married Lydia Blair (?). - James Stewart, married Alice Atchison (said to be the widow of his brother James), ancestor of Philip B. Stewart II (born 1922, died 24 July 1995 in Stuart, Florida), who with the help of Kenneth Robertson and James Dinwoodie discovered the significance of the Merrill Bible. - John Stewart, married Rebecca (Costa) Patten - Mary Stewart - Samuel Stewart, married Alice Atchison, widow of his brother James. - Joseph Stewart, married 1st Margaret Thompson, 2nd Hannah Hescock. In an 1818 letter to his son John, Joseph says that his family is of royal descent, belonged to the “White Rose party” (i.e., were supporters of Kings Charles I & II), and were somehow connected to “the House of Black Hall.” Interestingly enough, through the Stewarts of Ardvorlich, a line can be traced from Gartnafuaran via the Campbells of Glenorchy to Sir John Stewart of Blackhall and Ardgowan, illegitimate son of King Robert III. (See “The Blackhall Connection”} - Margaret Stewart, married William Aiken. (Olar) | Stewart, John "Charter John" (I20088)
|
| 4874 | John Stewart, by his wife, Janet Graham, is confirmed by Kilmadock OPR data as being the father of Capt. Archibald Stewart in Annat. We can also establish that he was the son of Archibald Stewart in Annat, son of Alexander mac Iain Stewart, 1st of Annat. The Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) suggest that either John or his son Archibald may have been illegitimate. The testimony of John Stewart, Tenant in Auchnahard, Glenfinglas, in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) states "That he never heard that this John [mac Gillespic] had any brothers or sisters and that he never knew of any uncles or aunts of Archibald [2nd of Ballacaish] and Hugh [2nd of Lendrick]." John in Auchnahard's testimony is unreliable and appears to conflate several generations. However, if any part of his testimony is accurate, then it seems more likely he's referring to John mac Gillespic as having no siblings. We know that Archibald Stewart (b. ca. 1595), son of Alexander mac Iain Stewart, 1st of Annat, was said to be the ancestor of the later Stewarts of Lendrick [Lanrick] and Glassingall. The Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) confirm that Capt. Archibald Stewart in Annat (b. 1647) was the father of John Stewart, 1st of Lendrick (b. 1680) and Alexander Stewart, 1st of Glassingall (b. 1685). Their ages indicate that the two Archibalds are separated by only one intervening generation. That is, the earlier Archibald Stewart, son of Alexander mac Iain Stewart, 1st of Annat, was the grandfather of the later Capt. Archibald Stewart in Annat. The Kilmadock OPR confirms that John Stewart is the father of Capt. Archibald Stewart in Annat. Thus, we can establish that the earlier Archibald Stewart (b. ca. 1595) had a son named John who was the father of the later Capt. Archibald Stewart in Annat (b. 1647). And we can estimate that this John would have been born around 1620. There is a John Stewart whose testament is registered in the Dunblane Commissariat Records as: "4 Dec 1662 and 18 Dec 1662; Stewart, John Oig M`Gillespick, in Lanrick, par of Callander." His patronymic means "Young John, son of Archibald." We do not know when he was born, but given his death in 1662, he is in the right range to have been born ca. 1620. We also know he lived at Lanrick. It is unclear if Lanrick refers to Lendrick on Loch Venachar, the later residence of this family, or if he lived at Lanrick near Doune. We cannot prove that John Oig mac Gillespic Stewart in Lanrick, Callander, found in the testament is this John Stewart. However, he is the right age, living in the right place, and bearing the same name with the right patronymic to be this John. On this basis we suggest that the John of the testament is most likely this John and record him as such in this database. John's testament indicates that died in August "or thereby last bypast" which, as the Testament was confirmed on 18 December 1662, would be of that year. It was initially given up by Mungo Campbell, brother to John Campbell of Clathick, as executor dative surrogate in place of the procurator fiscal but then by Duncan Stewart, John's brother german, as executor dative ad omissa as creditor on the basis of John, at the time of his death, owing to Duncan the sum of "four score merks Scots" (80 merks) principal plus an additional £8 "liquidate expenses" contained in a Bond (loan) between them dated 13 March 1662. John's effects didn't amount to much "twele boll black corne quilk the defunct had in steilbow upon the land of Nether Achry" and two cows. The Testament was confirmed at Dunblane, on 18 December 1662. In terms of points of genealogy, John's patronymic is useful as it identifies his father as Archibald and it also identifies a brother german (useful inclusion of the term for full brother especially when multiple wives or husbands with same surnames wasn't uncommon) and that he died in or about August 1662. Although no children are mentioned that wasn't uncommon when Testaments were made up by creditors. Only by inclusions of phrases such as "given up by ______ as nearest of kin to ye defunct" can death without issue be conclusively proved. (Extraction and commentary provided by Gordon MacGregor.)

Drummond in possession of a portion of Glassingall which came into this Stewart family's possession two generations later. | Stewart, John Oig mac Gillespic in Lanrick (I17337)

| 4875 | John Stewart, III, latterly known as "John of the Grodich," was born 12 Feb 1773 in Auchnahard in Glen Finglas in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland, as the eldest son of John Stewart, Jr., in Auchnahard and Christian Stewart from Kiep in Upper Strathyre. He was baptised on 12 Oct 1773 in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland. John's parents were paternal fourth cousins, descending from two different sons of James Mhor Stewart in Port of Loch Earn, through the Stewarts of Ardvorlich and the Stewarts of Annat -- two of the major branches of the Stewarts of Balquhidder. John Stewart's father's family had been senior tenants of the Auchnahard Farm in Glen Finglas for four generations, descended from John Buidhe Mor Stewart ("Big John of the Yellow Hair"), an illegitimate son of John Stewart, 2nd of Annat, who acquired a one-eighth share of Glen Finglas around 1620. This family were known as the "Bain Stewarts" due to their fair coloured hair. His grandfather was John Stewart, 1st of Portnellan, a younger son of James Mhor Stewart in Port of Loch Earn, and progenitor of the Stewarts of Annat. John Stewart's mother's family came from Ardveich on the northwest shore of Loch Earn, where their family had also lived for four generations. Her ancestor was John Dubh Mhor Stewart in Dalveich, illegitimate son of James Beag Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich, son of Alexander Stewart, 1st of Ardvorlich, older brother of John Stewart, 1st of Portnellan, mentioned above. About 1778, when John Stewart was five-years-old, his father died, leaving his widowed mother with three children under the age of five. His mother married secondly on 25 Apr 1779 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland to another John Stewart from Corriechrombie, who was descended from the Stewarts of Glenbuckie. Young John Stewart grew up on his stepfather's farm at Corriechrombie in nearby Lower Strathyre before returning to Glen Finglas as an adult. Mrs. Stewart of Milton's 1907 Account of John's family says, "Of the Grodich Stewarts who left Grodich and came to Auchnahard, there were three of the name of John in succession - grandfather, father and son. That family eventually went to Aberdeen and became wine merchants there. (sic)" (No record has been found of any later descendants of this family moving to Aberdeen to become wine merchants. It is believed that Mrs. Stewart was mistaken on this matter and has confused this family with a different one.) She says later: "Of the [that] Grodich family, the first of the three Johns was possibly the son of John Stewart, Glenfinlas and Mary Buchanan." Mrs. Stewart of Milton was a first cousin to John Stewart's future wife who, in 1907, dictated her thorough knowledge of all the Stewart families who had lived in Glen Finglas. The three generations of John Stewarts in Grodich referred to by Mrs. Stewart of Milton are: 1. Grandfather - John Stewart's father, John Stewart, Jr., in Auchnahard. 2. Father - John Stewart, III, "of the Grodic" himself. 3. Son - John Stewart's son, John Stewart, IV, in Grodich. Mrs. Stewart of Milton is correct in her belief that the first of these three John Stewarts was himself the son of John Ban Mor Stewart, Sr., and Mary Buchanan, after whom the name "Bain Stewarts" was coined, making four consecutive John Stewarts. And this family did indeed return to Auchnahard sometime between 1825-1841. On 18 Mar 1813, at age 40, John Stewart "of the Grodich" married in Callander parish to his first cousin, Mary Stewart, age 24, daughter of his father's brother, Duncan Stewart, and Mary McKinlay. Mary Stewart was born in 1789 also at Auchnahard. Mary's mother, Mary McKinlay came from the McKinlays of The Anie in nearby Strathyre. (Given John's age at marriage, it is possible that he may have been previously married, but we have found no record of any prior marriage.) John Stewart and Mary Stewart had five children between 1814-1825 at Grodich in Glen Finglas. Because the majority of tenants in Glen Finglas in that time were Stewarts who originated from five different Stewart families who had resided in Glen Finglas since the early 17th century, and who all intermarried, nicknames became commonplace to distinguish among people with the same names. John became known as "John of the Grodich." Grodich was one of four major farmsteads in Glen Finglas, including Auchnahard, Duart and Brig o' Turk. Grodich is found with many spelling variants. It derives from the Gaelic, "Grod Achadh" which translates to "Putrid Field" or "Rotten Place" (Watson, 1926, p. 445). Its unflattering name may derive from the smell of a nearby bog. On 14 Jan 1814, just ten months after their marriage, John and Mary Stewart welcomed the birth of their first child, a daughter named Christian Stewart. Christian was named after her father's mother, Christian Stewart. Christian Stewart died young at the age of 14. A year later, on 18 June 1815, they welcomed their second child, another daughter, Mary Stewart. Mary was named after both her mother, Mary Stewart, and her maternal grandmother, Mary McKinlay. Mary also died young at the age of 12. On 30 July 1818, John and Mary Stewart welcomed their third child, a son named John Stewart, IV, named after his father, his father's father, his father's grandfather, and his mother's father. John Stewart would grow to adulthood and later inherit the Grodich farm and marry a Stewart woman from yet another Stewart family. His story is told separately. John Stewart is identified in Stewarts of the South (c. 1815-1820) in the entry pertaining to his father, which says "John Stewart, late tenant at Auchnahaird, left one son, called "John Tacksman of Grodlick" [Grodich]. One-eighth of Glenfinglas. He has one son who is a minor." On 13 Apr 1821, John and Mary Stewart had their fourth child, Duncan Stewart, who was named after his maternal grandfather, Duncan Stewart. Duncan also did not survive childhood and died at the age of 9. In 1825, John and Mary Stewart welcomed the birth of their fifth and last child, another daughter, named Catherine. No record of her baptism has been found. She later married James McCall and had a family in the nearby Village of Callander. On 2 May 1825, John Stewart's wife Mary died in Callander parish. Given the timing of her death, it may be that she died from complications in childbirth. John was left to raise his children as a widower and never remarried. As John and his surviving children are later found back in nearby Auchnahard, and as his parents were long deceased, it seems likely that he returned to Auchnahard to be nearer to his late wife's family for assistance raising the children. On 4 Jun 1827, two years after losing his wife, John Stewart's second daughter, Mary Stewart, died. Just over a year later, on 12 Oct 1828, John Stewart's eldest daughter, Christian Stewart, died. Eighteen months later, on 25 Apr 1830, John Stewart's youngest son, Duncan Stewart, died. Within the space of five short years, John lost his wife and three of his children. His grief must have been unfathomable. In the 1841 census, at age 60 (sic, he was actually 68), John Stewart was residing at Glenfinglas Auchnahard #8 in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland. He was employed as a farmer. His surviving children, John, age 20, and Catherine, age 15, were living with him, along with some farm labourers. In the 1851 census, at age 77, John Stewart was residing at Auchnahard in Glen Finglas, employed as a grazier and farmer of 20 arable acres and employing three men. Residing with him were his son, John Stewart, age 32; his son's future wife, Margaret Stewart, age 22 (daughter of Peter Stewart in Immervoulin and Jean McGregor), who was employed as a servant on the farm; and another John Stewart, age 26, born in Callander, who was working as a ploughman on the farm. (His birth family has not been identified.) In the 1861 census, at age 87, John Stewart was at Glenfinglas Farm, which was likely Auchnahard as the Auchnahard Farm was also known as Glenfinglas Farm. He was employed as a sheep grazier. He was living with his son, John Stewart, who was now married with two young children of his own. In the 1871 census, at age 97, John Stewart was residing at an unidentified farm in Callander parish, presumed to be Auchnahard. He was identified as a farmer of 1800 acres of which only 20 were arable. He was residing with his son, John Stewart, and John's wife and children. About 1871, it is believed that John Stewart was visited by a Highland story-collector named John Dewar, who wrote in his journal, "Iain Stiúvart Groide ann Gleann fionnghlais 95 old" (entry D6.71) which translates as "John Stewart, Groide [Grodich] in Glen Finglas, 95-years-old." According to the Dewar Project, "all except ‘95 old’ is scored through, indicating that Dewar had visited him, or otherwise eliminated him from his enquiries. He is not known to have supplied any stories." Although his age is recorded as 95, this appears to be approximate as he would have been 98-years-old in 1871. On 10 Dec 1873, having outlived his wife by half a century, John Stewart died at the formidable age of 100 years at the Auchnahard farm in Glen Finglas in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland. John Stewart's place of burial is unknown, but he is presumed to have been buried in nearby Brig o' Turk cemetery at the foot of Glen Finglas or possibly in parish cemetery in Callander, however no record of a burial or headstone has been found. John Stewart's son, John Stewart, IV, returned to the Grodich farm by 1881 where he remained until his death sometime between 1891-1897. His son, John Stewart, V, moved to Ledard Cottage on the north shore of Loch Ard in Aberfoyle parish, where he was employed as a farm manager for the Duke of Montrose. He had three children including a son and daughter who both became physicians in the 1920s. --- From Sue MacKay from the Dewar Project https://www.dewarproject.com/index.html "John Dewar was a Gaelic-speaking native of Arrochar (Dunbartonshire) who lived from 1802 to 1872. Paid by the duke of Argyll, he spent the last ten years or so of his life wandering around the West Highlands taking down historical tales in Gaelic from the mouths of the people. These were collected by his principal patron, John Francis Campbell of Islay (the duke’s cousin) into ten manuscripts, seven of which are in the Argyll Papers at Inveraray Castle, and three of which are in the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh, consisting of altogether 4,338 pages of writing. Taken together, these form a chaotic but priceless collection of traditional stories that may be described as ‘the people’s history of the West Highlands, in their own language, from 1306 to 1752’." At D6.71, immediately below his entry on Alexander Sinclair, Dewar writes ‘Iain Stiúvart Groide ann Gleann fionnghlais 95 old’ (‘John Stewart, Groide in Glen Finglas, 95 years old’). All except ‘95 old’ is scored through, indicating that Dewar had visited him, or otherwise eliminated him from his enquiries. He is not known to have supplied any stories. Glen Finglas is now under water. Groide is given by Watson (1926, p. 445) as Groidich ‘Rotten Place’. We are grateful to Dr Richard Cox, Sabhal Mòr Ostaig (e-mail, 23.9.19), for the following notes received from Mr Robert MacLean, formerly of Duncraggan Cottage, Brig o’ Turk: “ER 1451 Grodich Larg (? = Bealach Grodich, grid ref. OS 1843–82 NN519080); ER 1461 Grodich, Stobie1783 Groddich = Grod Achadh, grid ref. OS 1843–82 NN522090.” John Stewart was born about 1774 in the parish of Callander, and married a woman called Mary. He may well have been an incomer to Glen Finglas, the product of enclosures, the introduction of sheep-runs, and the amalgamation of tenancies. He has not so far been identified in census data until 1861, when we find him aged 87, a widower, described as a sheep grazier, living in Glen Finglas with his son John, 42, his daughter-in-law Margaret, 32, and their two children and two servants. In 1871 everything is much the same, except that he is now described as a farmer of 1,800 acres, of which only 20 are arable – clearly a hill farm. John Stewart, sen., died at Auchnahard, Glen Finglas, on 10 December 1873. His age is given on the death certificate as 100. If this is true, it must have been in 1868 that Dewar noted his name and perhaps visited him. All this makes it perfectly possible that he is the ‘Stewart, Mr John, Groidich, Glenfinglass’ named in the subscription list to a work published when he would already have been 44 years old (Stewart 1817, p. 87). Our thanks to Dr Cox for this also. John Stewart, jun., inherited the farm. The 1871 census finds him at Grodich, aged 62, with his wife Margaret, 52, their children John and Mary, and their two servants. | Stewart, John III of the Grodich (I17347)

| 4876 | John Stewart, IV, was born 30 July 1818 in Grodich in Glen Finglas in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland, as the son of John Stewart, III, "of the Grodich" and Mary Stewart. In 1841, at age 20 (sic, 23), John Stewart, was residing at Auchnahard Farm, #8 Glen Finglas, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his widowed father and his teenage sister, Catherine. In 1851, at age 32, John Stewart was residing at Auchnahard, Glen Finglas, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland with his widowed father. John was employed as a farmer's son. Residing with them was a female servant, Margaret Stewart, who would shortly become John's wife. Also residing with them was another John Stewart, age 26, born about 1825 in Callander parish, working as a ploughman for the family. His birth family has not been identified. On 2 Dec 1856, John Stewart married at Laggan Farm in Strathyre, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, to his father's former house-servant, Margaret Stewart, daughter of Peter Stewart in Immervoulin in Strathyre and Jean McGregor. John and Margaret Stewart had only two children, which is an unusually small family for that era. In 1861, at age 42, John Stewart was residing at Auchnahard in Glen Finglas, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and their two infant children. He was employed as a sheep grazier. Residing with them was his elderly widowed father. In 1871, at age 52, John Stewart was residing at Grodich in Glen Finglas, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and their two children. He was employed as a farmer of 1800 acres of which 20 were arable. Also residing with them was his 97-year-old father. In 1873, John's father died. In 1881, at age 62, John Stewart was residing at Grodich in Glen Finglas in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and adult children. He was employed as a farmer of 2200 acres of which 12 are arable, employing two men and one woman. In 1891, at age 72, John Stewart was residing at a farm house in Glen Finglas, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, however the census does not indicate which farm. He was employed as a farmer. Residing with him were his wife and adult children. John Stewart and his wife both died between 1891-1897 either in Glen Finglas or in Ledard in Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland. Their son, John Stewart, V, residing in Ledard, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland, married in 1897 and records his parents as both deceased at the time. | Stewart, John IV in Grodich (I16813)

In 1871, at age 19, John Stewart was residing at Bruce Hill, New Deer, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with the family of James Fowlie. He was employed as a farm servant. In 1873, when John was 21, his mother died. After which, John appears to have fallen on hard times. In 1881, at age 30, John Stewart was boarding with Margaret Keegan at 1 Pipe Street, Duddington, Midlothian, Scotland. He was employed as a street musician tramp. John Stewart has not been found in later records and is presumed to have died. | Stewart, John (I16496)

| 4888 | John was born in 1894 in Elgin, Pierce County, Washington State, USA, just northwest of Tacoma. John was a professor of history at Sterling College (Kansas) from 1936-1938 and then at Kansas Wesleyan University from 1938-1945. His wife, Bula Gardner, was also a professor at Kansas Wesleyan University. No children were listed in his obituary. On 15 Apr 1919, John William Tait applied for an American passport. He indicates that he was born 1 Oct 1895 in Elgin, Washington, USA and that his father, John Leonard Tait, was born in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada and was currently residing in Le Mans, France, working for the YMCA. He indicates his permanent home is Columbus, Ohio, USA, and that he has been residing in Saint Nazaire and Bordeaux, France for the past year. John was currently employed as a clerk in the American Consolate Office in Bordeaux, France. In 1931, John was licensed to preach by a presbytery in Ohio (the specific presbytery is not named in the record). It appears that, although licensed, he was never ordained as he never took a pastoral position, but remained in university teaching positions: "Today members of the Presbytery will examine and license John Tait, son of the Rev. J.W. Tait of Polo, who, since his graduation from the theological seminary, has been teaching at the University of Ohio and working for a Ph. D. degree."

|
| 4894 | John was recorded as a mason at his time of death. John's death was witnessed by his son, William Stewart in Gargunnoch. In 1851 John's wife and children are found residing in Mendhouie, Port of Menteith, but John is absent. Catherine is recorded as an agricultural labourer's wife. In 1861 John was residing in Milling, Port of Menteith with his wife and a 2 year old border named Willian Breyn born in Buchanan, Stirlingshire, relationship unknown. There's an excellent match for John in 1841 residing in Gartocharn, Dunbartonshire, Scotland, shown as born ca 1811 in Dunbarton (sic), employed as a "pavement quarrier" with sons: John Stewart b 1833 in Dunbarton, and William Stewart b 1836 in Dunbarton, also residing with them is William Love, b 1816 in Scotland, also employed as a pavement quarrier. This matches on several accounts: we know John had a son William whom we can't find with his second marriage and thus presume is from his first marriage. Onomastics would suggest that John should have an older son named John whom we see here. And this elder John has no wife and we know John was a widower at the time of the 1841 census. Armed with this info and going back to the 1851 I now find a John Stewart b 1809 in Kincardine (sic) residing at Portend, Port of Menteith, employed as a farm servant, with son William Stewart b 1836 in Kilmarnock, Dumbarton and residing with Janet Stewart b 1822 in Balquhidder (!). She's too young to be William's mother, so if this is the correct John and William (which I'm not sure of) then I wonder if Janet could be a previously undiscovered younger sister of John's? There's no other William Stewart around the right age born in Kilmarnock anywhere in 1851 so it looks pretty good, especially that he's residing with a father John who is close to the right age (despite the discrepency of the place of birth for John). They are all residing on the farm of Robert McKechnie. In 1871 John is found residing in Curroch, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland employed as a mason. he is residing with his wife, Catherine and daughter Margaret, along with his grandchildren, Catherine and William Buchanan, ages 5 yrs and 6 mos. | Stewart, John (I16550)

| 4895 | John was residing in 1891 at 129 Renfrew St., Barony, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland, employed as a boot maker. He was living with his second wife, Jessie (Janet), and his daughter and stepson. | Forsyth, John (I5883)
|
| 4896 | John was the illegitimage son of Margaret Usher. She later married George Bell. It is not certain the George Bell is actually John's natural father, or just adopted father. John Usher Bell was a farmer of 450 acres at Lee Hall, Leemailing near Bellingham, Northumberland, England. Lee Hall is the location of the "Lang Pack Tragedy" -- where a burgler who tried to break into Lee Hall by hiding in a pedlar's sack. When the sack moved one of the servants of the house fired his gun into the back killing the would be burgler. His unidentified body is buried in the yard of St. Cuthbert's Church, Bellingham. In 1881 John Usher Bell had an "indoor farm servant" working for him, named Abraham Dawson, born 1863 in Allendale, Northumberland. Abraham Dawson is found elsewhere in this database as the brother-in-law of Rev. Luke Bell. | Bell, John Usher (I847)

| 4897 | John worked as a cotton hand loom weaver until his father died at which point it appears that John and his brother Andrew took over the family grocery store. | Gow, John (I6985)
|
| 4898 | John worked as a wagonmaker. | Campbell, John (I1973)
|
| 4899 | John's actual forename is nowhere recorded. The name "John" is suggested from onomastics from the names of his children's families. "John", or whatever his real name is, is recorded in Stewarts of the South as the brother of Duncan Stewart, 4th in Monachyle, and as the patriarch of 2 Line - The Stewarts in Stank. The exact relationship between "John" and the rest of the Glenogle family is not certain. He is placed here as our present best theoretical guess. It is not known if John possessed Stank and so the accounting of Stank ownership begins with his son, James, as "1st of Stank". | Stewart, John? in Stank (I17336)

| 4900 | John's baptism is not confirmed. He is found in census records in 1841-1861 with his birth family and in 1871 with his wife and children. His baptism as shown here gives his parents as "John Stewart and Catharine Stewart" which could be an error on his mother's maiden name vs married name. The entry is crossed out and is not found in the IGI. In 1871 John was residing in Bonny Place, Falkirk, Stirling, Scotland with his sons John and Robert. His wife Catherine and their other children were residing in Deanston with her parents. John's birth place is transcribed as "Manston, Perthshire." No such place is known and it's believed to be a transcription error for Deanston. John's occupation is given as tinsmith and his wife's is "wife of tinsmith." No matching entries in Mitchel's MIs. John and his family have not been found in 1881 and may have emigrated. Stirling Observer, 24 July 1862 Mr John Stewart, tinsmith and gas fitter, Glasgow, to Catherine, third daughter of Mr John Gillespie, Deanston. | Stewart, John (I16498)
