| 4962 | Mother given as "Catherine McNab", but the census confirms she belongs to this family. It seems likely that her mother's name has been incorrectly transcribed by LDS. | Stewart, Catherine (I15386)
|
| 4963 | Mother given as "Janet Steuart". He may be the William Stewart, annuitant, b 1798 in Kilmadock residing in 1851 in Craighead, Kilmadock, with his sister widow Catharine Robertson, b 1796 in Kilmadock. | Stewart, William (I18461)

| 4964 | Mother given as Catharine Cunningham. | Cuthbert, Candace (I3300)
|
| 4965 | Mother given as Margaret McGrigor. According to the 1873 Family Tree, Helen married firstly to a Dochert and had a daughter Mary who married a McIntyre and moved to Canada and had children: Mary, Duncan, John, Peter, Helen. Helen married secondly to a McGregor and had children John and Christina and resided on the Blair Drummond Moss. Her second family are easily identifiable in the 1814 Blair Drummond Moss Census, showing her husband as Malcolm McGregor. It says they came from Balquhidder and had been settled on the Moss for 10 years.. They owned 1 cat, 1 chicken, 2 cows, 1 horse, 1 harrow, 1 plough, and 1 cart. Her marriage records in Balquhidder and Kincardine both indicate that she was from Balquhidder and Malcolm was from Kincardine. | Stewart, Helen (I16343)

| 4987 | Multiple possible births have been identified for Janet McQueen: 1. Janet McQueen, bap 25 MAY 1765 in Gartmore, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland, dtr of James McQueen and Elizabeth Buchanan; 2. Janet McQueen, bap. 25 JUL 1774 in Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland, dtr of James McQueen and Margaret Graham; 3. Janet McQueen, bap. 27 JUL 1778 in Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, dtr of James McQueen and Marrion Aitken; as well as several other possibilities. | McQueen, Janet (I10989)
|
| 4988 | Multiple secondary sources give his birth as 30 Jul 1907, however he was baptized in August 1906, so the later sources must all be incorrect. On 6 Jul 1929, at age 22, Harry Pilling married in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA, to 23-year-old Hazel M Tisdale. Three years later, on 15 Aug 1932, in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA, Hazel successfully petitioned for divorce on the grounds of "extreme cruelty and non-support." Harry did not context the divorce. On 18 Nov 1939, in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, Harry Pilling married to Nora Patricia Gow. ON 25 Nov 1944, Harry and Patricia moved to Blaine, Washington, USA, and were naturalized as US citizens. They later moved to Clairmont, Los Angeles, California, USA. | Pilling, Harry V (I12504)

| 4989 | Mulvin is recorded in family records without dates or further information, including gender. It is presumed that Mulvin is a daughter, being named after her mother. Her date and place of birth here are merely suggested based on chronology and family location. She (or he?) has not been found in any public records. | Cuthbert, Mulvin (I3688)

|
| 4991 | Murdoch Stewart and Isobel of Lennox were married in 1392 and he was captured in 1402. In these ten years they had five children making James' estimated birth date shown here reasonably accurate. Sir James Stewart was the fourth son of Murdoch Stewart and Isolbel of Lennox. In Gaelic he was referred to as Seamus Mhor. He has been recorded in many places as James "The Gross" Stewart. We believe this nickname is an incorrect translation of his Gaelic nickname "Mhor". "Mhor" means "big, large, or great." We suspect that "Mhor" was at sometime rendered in Norman French, probably as "Le Gros," which means "large", but could easily be mistranslated into English as "The Gross". James is also referred to as James "The Fat." Thus we believe the correct translation of James Mhor Stewart should be "Big" James Stewart. Little is known of James' early years. until 1424 when King James I was finally released from captivity in England and returned home. King James I had most of the Albany family arrested in August of 1424, including James Mhor Stewart's father and mother, two brothers, and his maternal grandfather. James Mhor managed to escape capture and fled into his mother's lands of the Lennox in western Stirlingshire where he attempted to raise an army in rebellion. James Mhor's rebellion was put down by the King's forces, but not before James Mhor burned the town of Dumbarton to the ground killing the governor of the castle, his great-uncle, Sir John "The Red" Stewart, Sheriff of Bute. Unfortunately this action sealed the fate of James' father and brothers and they were all executed on 24 May 1425. King James also had several captured supporters of James Mhor hanged, drawn and quartered with their quarters put on display in chains in what was left of the town of Dumbarton. James Mhor Stewart retreated deeper into the Lennox lands around Loch Lomond, taking over Inchmurrin Castle, a Lennox stronghold. On 8 June 1425 the king's forces under Lords Montgomery and Kilmaurs recaptured Inchmurrin. Again, James Mhor escaped. This time he fled to Antrim, Ireland, taking with him the infant illegitimate children of his late brother, Walter Stewart of Fife. "In 1426, Parliament passed an act principally concerning the western portion of Scotland towards Ireland in which ships going from Scotland to Ireland needed the king’s deputy’s permission. The reason for this [included] that a known rebel, James the Fat, was given shelter in Ireland likely with the MacDonalds of Antrim, relatives of the MacDonald Lords of the Isles, and contact with him may endanger the king." (Devlin) Devlin cites the Irish Annals of the Four Masters in an entry from 1429 recording James’s death which reads: “James Stuart, son of the king of Scotland [sic], and Roydomna of Scotland, who had been banished from Scotland to Ireland, died, after the arrival of a fleet from the men of Scotland to convey him home, that he might be made king.” Roydomna is a copying error for Roydamna which likely derives from the Irish Gaelic Ri-dama, which means "King's relation" and was a term used to designate the heir to the throne. Devlin notes that in 1429 King James I still had no male heir, thus, with the execution of the rest of the Albany family, James Mhor really was first in line to the throne but for the fact that he'd been banished and stripped of the family's lands and titles. On 10 May 1429, James was granted safe passage from England to Ireland by Henry VI. (The Rotuli Scotiae, ii, p. 265.) This could be evidence that James had been in England conversing with King Henry VI, perhaps seeking support for an attempt for the throne. It also indicates that James' death took place after the tenth of May that year. Duncan Stewart's 1739 genealogy says that James had relations with "a lady of the family of the McDonalds." The case for this mystery Lady MacDonald being the daughter of Eoin Mor Tanister MacDonald, Lord of the Glens of Antrim, is circumstantial, but persuasive. The Parliamentary decree (above) indicates that James was being sheltered by the McDonalds of Antrim. The Annals of the Four Masters (above) refers to James as a Prince of Scotland and next in line for the throne. Thus, he would only be paired with a daughter from the most powerful MacDonald family in Antrim, which would be the family of Eoin Mor Tanister MacDonald, younger brother of Donald MacDonald, 2nd Lord of the Isles. Eoin and Donald's mother was Princess Margaret Stewart, sister of Robert Stewart, late Duke of Albany, making Eoin MacDonald and James Mhor Stewart first-cousins-once-removed, suggesting that James Mhor sought shelter with a close relative. Eoin had long been in rebellion against his brother Donald, Lord of the Isles. In 1411, Donald MacDonald, Lord of the Isles, attacked Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, seeking claim to the Earldom of Ross. Eoin MacDonald of Antrim joined the army of Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, against his brother, the Lord of the Isles. Thus, Eoin MacDonald of Antrim was already a committed ally of the Albany Stewarts and had fought alongside James Mhor Stewart's grandfather. Some records indicate that Lady MacDonald came from the family of the Earls of Antrim, an office which was not created until 1603, but was bestowed on a descendant of Eoin Mor Tanister MacDonald, making that an anachronistic reference to the same family. James Mhor Stewart and Lady MacDonald had two children, James Beag Stewart and Matilda Stewart. (Weir and others including Duncan Stewart (1739) list seven children, mistakenly including the illegitimate children of Walter Stewart of Fife who fled in the care of James Mhor.) As noted above, James Mhor Stewart died in 1429 just as a fleet was arriving to take him back to Scotland to challenge for the throne. | Stewart, Sir James Mhor of Albany (I16583)

| 4992 | Murdoch Stewart and Isobel of Lennox were married in 1392 and he was captured in 1402. In these ten years they had five children making the estimated birth date shown here reasonably accurate. After the death of his elder brother, Robert, in 1419, Walter became the eldest surviving son of the Albany family. As heir apparent to his father, Murdoch, Duke of Albany, this made Walter third in line for the throne -- a position he clearly desired for himself. In the negotiations of 1423, leading up to the release of Walter's cousin, King James I, Walter argued against the release and the peace treaty with England that would accompany it. Shortly after James' return to Scotland, Walter and a couple of his loyal followers were arrested by the King. Walter was executed with his father and brother Alexander in 1425. See notes for father. The children of Walter of Fife are confirmed by Gordon MacGregor as follows (from personal correspondence): Letters of Legitimation passed through the Great Seal on 28 August, 1472, in favour of 1. Andrew, Lord Avendale, 2. Arthur Stewart, therein styled as his brother and 3. Walter Stewart, also styled therein as brother to Andrew, Lord Avendale. (RMS 1424-1513. No. 1066, 1067 and 1068) On 3 September, 1472, Andrew Lord Avendale, Chancellor of Scotland, had a charter following his own resignation for the Lordship of Avendale to himself and his heirs male, whom failing, to Arthur Stewart, his brother and his heirs male, whom failing, to Walter Stewart, his brother and his heirs, whom failing by the King and his successors. (RMS 1424-1513. No. 1076). Charter by Andrew, Lord Avendale, for the lands of Kepdowry, in the Earldom of Lennox to John Haldane of Gleneagles. Witnesses include Walter Stewart of Morphy, brother of the said Andrew. Dated 2 April, 1482. This conclusively proves that Walter Stewart, 1st of Morphy, was the brother of Andrew Stewart, 1st Lord Avendale, and is therefore identical with the Walter who was Legitimated on 28 August, 1472. Charter by Isabella, duchess of Albany, countess of Levenax, Inchedavanow, to Colin Campbell, kt, laird of Glenurchay, by reason of his marriage to Marion Stewart, daughter of deceased Walter Stewart of Albany, granter's son, of lands of Feorlyng More and Feorlyng Natara of Kangerlouch, and lands of Mame Beg and Mame More in granter's earldom of Levenax, sheriffdom of Dumbertane, to be held by said Colin and Marion and their legitimate heirs, whom failing, to Andrew Stewart of Albany, kt, granter's grandson, son of said deceased Walter, with proviso that all thieves convicted there are to be hanged on the duchess's gallows at Faslane. Dated 4 October, 1440. Witnesses include: Arthur Stewart, granter's grandson. (GD112/25/2) That Andrew and Arthur Stewart are identical with Andrew, Lord Avendale, and his brother Arthur is quite certain as both appear together in numerous documents. Their exact relationship to James Stewart, 1st of Balindoran, can be deduced from the following; Charter by John Stewart, Lord Darnley, to James Stewart of Albany, natural son of the deceased James Stewart, son of the deceased Sir Murdoch Stewart, sometime Duke of Albany, of the middle-part of the eastern part of the lands of Baldorane in the Earldom of Lennox and Sheriffdom of Stirling. Witnesses include : Andrews Stewart, Lord Avendale, Chancellor. Dated 7 January, 1464. (RMS 1424-1513. No. 858) | Stewart, Sir Walter of Fife (I18448)

| 4993 | Murdoch Stewart and Isobel of Lennox were married in 1392 and he was captured in 1402. In these ten years they had five children making the estimated birth date shown here reasonably accurate. Alexander was executed with his father and brother Walter in 1425. See notes for his father, Murdoch Stewart, 2nd Duke of Albany for information on the execution. | Stewart, Sir Alexander of Kinclevin (I15092)
|
| 4994 | Murdoch Stewart and Isobel of Lennox were married in 1392 and he was captured in 1402. In these ten years they had five children making the estimated birth date shown here reasonably accurate. Isabella married Walter Dhu Buchanan, 12th Laird of Buchanan. The Buchanan family remained allies to the later descendants of the Albany Stewarts. Andrew Fleming Hutchinson, in his book, The Lake of Menteith (1899), mistakenly shows her as the daughter of Sir James Mhor Stewart of Albany, rather than his sister. | Stewart, Isabella (I16281)
|
| 4995 | Murdoch Stewart and Isobel of Lennox were married in 1392 and he was captured in 1402. In these ten years they had five children making the estimated birth date shown here reasonably accurate. Robert's father, Murdoch Stewart, was imprisoned in England from 1402-1416. During this time Robert represented his father's interests at the court of his grandfather, Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany. Robert's death date is uncertain. Robert was due to marry his cousin Euphemia Stewart, only child of David Stewart, Earl of Strathearn. The dispensation for this marriage was given in 1414. Robert died and his younger brother Walter was then betrothed to Euphemia in 1415, making the date for Robert's death likely sometime between the two dispensations. However, Devlin cites his death date as 1419 and indicates that he was listed as witness to several charters by his grandfather, Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany until 1419. Robert died without issue. | Stewart, Robert Master of Fife (I18154)
|
| 4996 | Murdoch Stewart was 2nd Duke of Albany, Earl of Menteith, Earl of Fife and (briefly) Regent of Scotland. Murdoch was born in 1362 as the only son of Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, from his first marriage to Margaret Graham, Countess of Menteith. Murdoch had six sisters as well as three half-brother and two half sisters from his father's second marriage. In 1389, Murdoch was appointed Justiciar of the North after the title was stripped from his rogue uncle, Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, known as The Wolf of Badenoch. Murdoch worked with his father to consolidate power in the Albany Stewart family. It was about this time that Murdoch married a woman named Joan who did not live long. They had no children. Her surname is unknown. She is only identified in the dispensation for the later marriage between Murdoch and Isobel of Lennox, in which Joan is described as being in the fourth degree of consanguinity (2nd cousins). In 1392, after an arrangement by their fathers, Murdoch Stewart married Isobel, Countess of Lennox, the last of the ancient Scottish Mormaers. Isobel would become a central power figure in the dynastic clashes between the Albany Stewarts and the Royal Stewarts. Murdoch and Isobel had five children together, likely born at Doune Castle. Murdoch is sometimes referred to in early charters as "of Kincleven" so the children may have been born and raised there. (Devlin) Murdoch also had a castle on Loch Ard in Aberfoyle parish, Perthshire, not far from his father's castle in Doune, which was used solely as a hunting lodge.. Murdoch served in several Scottish military campaigns. In 1402, Murdoch was captured by the English at the battle of Homildon Hill. This battle was such a decisive defeat that William Shakespeare wrote about it in his play, Henry IV. Murdoch was held prisoner for 12 years. In 1405, Murdoch's father, Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, had Murdoch's cousin, David Stewart, Duke of Rothesay and first in line for the throne, imprisoned. David died in captivity under suspicious circumstances. Robert, Duke of Albany, was widely believed to be responsible, but was exonerated. This left only the young Prince James in line for the throne ahead of the Albany Stewarts. In 1406, Murdoch's cousin, Prince James, was captured by the English and joined Murdoch as a prisoner in London. Weeks later, the king died, making James now the uncrowned captive King James I of Scots. Murdoch's father, Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, worked diligently to ransom Murdoch but expended little effort to ransom the king. Robert's neglect of the king would lead to a deadly rift between the Albany Stewarts and their Royal cousins. As the imprisoned king had no heirs, this made Duke Robert and his son Murdoch first and second in line for the throne. In 1416, Murdoch was freed in a prisoner exchange negotiated by his father Robert, while King James remained in captivity London. In 1419, Murdoch's eldest son, Robert, died, leaving his next son Walter as heir and third in line for the throne. In 1420, Murdoch's father died and Murdoch inherited the Dukedom of Albany, the Earldoms of Fife and Menteith, and the Regency of Scotland. Murdoch was now ruler of Scotland. He and his son Walter were now first and second in line for the throne. But Murdoch would not rule for long. Murdoch made no effort to free King James until forced to do so by the Scottish Council in 1423. During the negotiations, Murdoch's son, Walter, argued against the release of King James, feeling that he, Walter, would make a better king. Walter also argued against making peace with England, which was a necessary condition of James' release. The Albany Stewarts had been campaigning against England for years, and Walter saw it as a sign of weakness to end the fighting. Walter had already fallen out with his father, Murdoch, over his future inheritance of the Earldom of Lennox, and Walter was also at odds with his father over the release of King James. On 28 March 1424, and agreement was reached for the release of King James I after 18 of his 29 years. When James returned home, neither Murdoch nor Walter Stewart went to greet him at the border. Instead Murdoch sent his son Alexander and his father-in-law, Duncan of Lennox to represent the Albany Stewarts. Part of the peace accord required hostages to be sent south. The Albany Stewarts ensured that none of their family members were included among the hostages, but, instead that many of the Black Douglases were. The Douglases were the next most powerful family in Scotland, This may have felt like a triumph for the Albany family, but it caused a rift with the Douglases. King James I knew that he had to move quickly and carefully to consolidate his own power and reduce or eliminate the threat of the Albany power. The Albany Stewarts had governed Scotland for nearly 40 years and had built a massive network of family loyalties. Many in the kingdom were far more loyal to the Albany Stewarts than to the king himself. James first visited with his only surviving uncle, Walter Stewart, Earl of Atholl and bought him off. Then, on 13 May 1424, just a week before his coronation, King James had Murdoch's son, Walter of Fife and Lennox, arrested along with two of his followers. Walter was imprisoned and held without charge or trial on the Bass Rock, Scotland's least hospitable prison, where James himself had been held as a child. Scotland held its breath to see how Murdoch would react to the arrest and imprisonment of his son. Murdoch did not react and may have felt that Walter was more of a hindrance than a help to the family power. It has long between the traditional right of the Earl of Fife to place the crown on the king's head at the coronation ceremony. James invited Murdoch Stewart, Earl of Fife, to do so at his coronation on 21 May 1424, This gesture both appeared to honour Murdoch, but also forced Murdoch to acknowledge James as his lawful king, thus symbolically submitting the Albany power to James' royal power. Murdoch relinquished the Governorship of Scotland of Scotland in favour of the king. King James I could not move too quickly against the Albany family, as Murdoch still had the loyalty of the Scots army under the command of Murdoch's half-brother, John Stewart, Earl of Buchan. They were fighting in France with Scotland's ally, the Dauphin Charles of France. However, by the end of that summer, in August 1424 the Earls of Buchan and Douglas fell at the Battle of Verneuil and the Scots army was wiped out, including many Albany loyalists. This severely weakened Murdoch's political position back home. Rather than have the Buchan lands return to the Albany family, James had them forfeited and returned to the crown. King James began to systematically reduce the power of the Albany family, but excluding them and their allies from the High Council and eliminating the flow of royal monies to Murdoch's allies, including the elimination of customs income of Aberdeen and Inverness from their mutual cousin, Alexander Stewart, Earl of Mar, son of the late Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan, the Wolf of Badenoch. Again, all eyes turned to Murdoch Stewart to see how he would react. He did not react. Maybe Murdoch was being cautious, but it sent a message to his allies that he did not have their backs and his power base grew weaker. James continued to fill his Council with those who had been alienated by the Albany Stewarts. James also exploited a rift between the Albany Stewarts and the Black Douglases to win the Douglases over to his side. King James then had Murdoch's father-in-law, Duncan, Earl of Lennox, and another supporter, Sir Robert Graham arrested. Again, all eyes turned to Murdoch. Again, Murdoch did not lift a finger in opposition. Sir Robert Graham was so angered that he later became one of the assassins of King James. In November 1424, James then moved to capture the Lennox capital castle at Dumbarton and placed his half-uncle, Sir John "The Red" Stewart, Sheriff of Bute (one of the many illegitimate sons of King Robert III), in charge. On 12 March 1425, King James called his second parliament. It was here that Murdoch Stewart seems to have finally found his voice. He opposed the king on two of the king's proposals which were defeated. James was angered. King James now moved to finish off the Albany family. On 21 March 1425, he had Murdoch Stewart, Duke of Albany, his son, Alexander, and his wife, Isobel of Lennox, all arrested. He had the Albany castles of Doune and Falkland seized. Murdoch's son Walter was already in prison. His remaining son, James Mhor Stewart, escaped capture and fled deep into his mother's lands in the Lennox to raise a rebel army from among the fomenting Lennox supporters. The rebels, under James Mhor Stewart of Albany burned the town of Dumbarton to the ground and killed the castle's keeper, Sir John "The Red" Stewart, Sheriff of Bute. James Mohr Stewart's rebellion failed and he fled to Ireland. Murdoch along with his imprisoned sons and his father-in-law were charged with treason, tried, convicted, stripped of all lands and titles, and on 24 March 1425 they were executed by beheading at Stirling Castle. The earldoms of Fife, Menteith and Lennox were forfeited to the crown. Isabella of Lennox was imprisoned in Tantallon Castle for life. The Albany Stewarts were done. Almost. Isobel of Lennox and her son, James Mhor Stewart of Albany were still alive and they weren't done. | Stewart, Sir Murdoch 2nd Duke of Albany Earl of Menteith and Regent of Scotland (I17801)

| 5000 | Murray was born in 1890 in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada. In 1891, Norman Murray Stewart was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada as a young child with his parents and siblings. In 1901, Norman Murray Stewart was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada as a child with his parents and siblings. In 1911, Murray was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, with his parents and siblings. His niece, Margaret Stewart Ritter, says that Murray "married the daughter of a wealthy editor in Detroit, and went there to live and worked for his father in law. Rumor had it that his life was difficult, with a nagging wife, bossy father-in-law, and no children, although he became wealthy." This story seems based on some truth but the details are not accurate as his marriage record indicates he married Anita Runge in Cleveland, Ohio, USA where he worked for her father in what appears to be a printing company. In 1915, Murray immigrated to Cleveland, Ohio, USA. In 1917, Murray was drafted to serve with the American military in WWI. He served until 1918. In 1920, Murray was residing in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio, USA with his wife and her parents, Gustave and Alvena Runge. He was employed as an assistant manager in the Runge family business, Bingham and Runge Printer Rollers. In 1930, Murray was residing in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio, USA with his wife and her parents, Gustave and Alvena Runge. He was employed as a treasurer in a printer rollers complany. Murray and Anita had no children. In 1940, Murray's wife was residing in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio, USA, with her parents but without Murray. She was still going by Anita Stewart. In 1944, Murray is listed as living back in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada at the time of his mother's death. Murray died 29 Jan 1946 Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada from coronory thrombosis. He was employed as a salesman at the time and lists Anita as his wife, though there is no indication that she was living with him as American census records show her still resising in Cleveland in 1940 and 1950. He was buried from Bates and Dodds Funeral Home, owned by his distant cousin, William James Stewart. Anita Stewart died in 1975 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Evidence would suggest that Murray abandoned his wife sometime between 1930-1940 and returned to Canada without her. | Stewart, Norman Murray (I17865)
