51	"II. Malcolm McCulchere was, as above, put to the horn with Duncan and Patrick Nov. 15, 1533. He appears to have married Findlay glas McEantyre. In a decree of horning Feb. 15 1589-90 "Tullibardin against his tenants," mention is made amongst these of "Findlay glas McEantyre, Relict of umquhile Malcum McCoulcheir,~ a presumption that her husband had been tenant of Sir John Murray of Tullibardine at the farm of Carnlea, of which Malcolm's widow is stated to be possessor." (Murray-MacGregor, Amelia, History of The Clan Gregor, 1898, Vol II, Ch. 18, p. 251.

52	"In 1445 Isabella also granted her granddaughter Mathilda, James’s sister, and her husband William Edmonstone of the lands of Duntreath in Lennox. It seems that even though neither child of James the Fat sought the rights to Lennox they still lived in the earldom close to their grandmother, and married into the local gentry." (Devlin) Matilda Stewart and William Edmonstone were second-cousins-once-removed through King Robert III. "Matilda Stewart, married by 15 February 1445, to Sir William Edmonstone, 1st of Culloden and Duntreath, (he d. in 1473) when they had a charter from her grandmother, Isabella, Duchess of Albany, for the land of Duntreith and others, and was infeft by him in a liferent of his lands of Duntreath on 17 May 1456. They had issue."

58	"Jack" does not appear with the Duncans in 1881. He would have been 15. He may have been working elsewhere. It is not known for sure if he came to Canada, but he was remembered by Janet, so it is likely that he did come to Canada.	Duncan, John (I5354)
59	"James Stewart, is named in his father’s latterwill in November of 1746 and to whom the remainder of his estate, once all debts had been paid, was to be conveyed, and upon who’s death, if he left no issue, to Margaret Campbell, his half-sister. He died without children before 1751." (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) James was a Major in the Jacobite Army in 1745. (Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Part 1, p. 105)	Stewart, Maj. James (I16275)
60	"James" is a theoretical construct who is suggested as the possible ancestor of 3 Line - the "Caleb" Stewarts in Strathyre, shown below. There is no documentary evidence of his existence. The earliest known ancestor of the "Caleb" Stewarts was James Stewart in Auchnandave in Strathyre, shown below under that branch. Onomastics would favour that James' father's name was probably "Robert". This "Robert" Stewart, who probably resided in Strathyre, descends from the Stewarts of Glenogle at an uncertain point. As the "Caleb" Stewarts are recorded in Stewarts of the South as being junior to the Monachyle and Stank branches, but senior to the later branches, then it is suggested that "Robert" was probably a grandson of Duncan Stewart, 2nd in Monachyle (shown above), through an unknown younger son, possibly named "James". Thus it is suggested that this theoretical "James" is possibly the father of the equally theoretical children shown here.	Stewart, James? (I16574)

64	"John was the second valet de chambre of Prince Charles Edward Stuart from 1746 till the dismissal of Daniel O'Brien, the Prince first valet, then he took his place. He remained constantly at the side of the Prince, being his closest confident and factotum, being later rewarded with the rank of Maestro di Casa (majordomo) during his late years in Italy. In 1784 he was created Baronet, but it must be noted that this did not mean necessarily he was a landowner, since Jacobite baronetcies were often awarded because of bonds of loyalty to the King over the Water only. "He was son of a James Steuart, and declared himself of "an Atholl man of the Ardvorlich branch", but I've not found anyone who could be his father in Stewarts genealogies. "He had to be born between 1718 and 1722 because he was roughly the same age of the Prince, born in 1720. He married Rosa Fiorani, an Italian woman, daughter of a Domenico Fiorani and for sure younger then John. The Fiorani family held no titles even if that do not exclude they were of some social status. The couple married between 1772 and 1774, precise date unkown. "There's no documentary evidence of John's whereabouts before 1746, even if during the 1850s his son Carlo testified the father had joined Prince Charles Edward during his period skulking in the Hebrides. If true, one can guess John had been out in the Forty-five and on the run from the Redcoats like many others Jacobites. Anyway no primary source about the Prince's flight mentions him. "Another point of interest could be that antiquarian James Dennistoun, who had interviews with John's son Carlo, claimed a cousin of John sacrificed himself allowing to be taken prisoner to save the Prince during his flight." (Stefano Baccolo) https://univp.academia.edu/StefanoBaccolo ------------ A source says that John Stewart, majordomo to Prince Charles, was the son of a James Stewart, so far unidentified. There were two John Stewarts who were close aids to Prince Charles. Many historical commentators conflate them. The other was Sir John Roy Stewart, son of Donald Stewart On 20 March 1775, while in Florence, Prince Charles received a mystery visitor from Scotland, who later wrote a letter about his experience meeting the Prince. The letter is unsigned; the writer is unknown. He identifies himself as belonging to the Stewarts of Glenbuckie, and was a “near relation” to the late Capt. Alexander Stewart, 10th of Glenbuckie, who was murdered in 1745. Prince Charles’ valet, who greets this mystery Stewart from Glenbuckie, is identified as John Stewart, from the family of Ardvorlich. An excerpt of that letter has survived. Extract of a Letter from Pisa, March 20, 1775: "My intention was not to write to you till I should be at Rome, but my wishes happened to be crowned with success nearer hand. We went to Florence from this place on the 18th of last month and arrived the same night. The next morning I was told Prince Jarlagh [Charlie] was in town. I made an impatient ramble till I found out that he had a servant who could speak English, who proved to be a rank Highlander, John Stewart of the family of Ardvorlich. He has been with his royal master ever since the year 1745. He is the upper domestick [domestic servant]. We were happy to meet each other. I asked if it was possible I could say in my own country I had spoken to his master. He replied, there was no difficulty and desired me to come next morning, the 22d, and I should obtain my request. Accordingly, I came at 9 o’clock, time enough to breakfast with Mr. Stewart before Prince Jarlagh could be seen, which was 11; when Mr. Stewart called me upstairs, and introduced me into his dressing-room; where seeing him before me, I kneel’d down. He kindly gave me his right hand, which I did myself the honour to kiss, saying, ‘it was the loyalty of my parents to his royal family that emboldened me to presume this attempt.’ He asked me what family I was of. I answered, ‘Of the house of Glenbucky; that the late Alexander was a near relation to me.’ ‘Ah I poor man!’ said he, ‘I remember him perfectly well.’ He spoke a few words more in which he said, ‘My lad, I wish you well,’ and then retired. He looks old in complexion and is pretty stout in person. He keeps a constant grand equipage especially when at Rome. He is still at Florence, but is expected at Pisa in a month’s time." (Originally published in The Lyon in Mourning or a Collection of Speeches, Letters, Journals, Etc. Relative to the Affairs of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, by the Rev. Robert Forbes, A.M., Bishop of Ross and Caithness, 1746-1775. Edited from his Manuscript, with a Preface by Henry Paton, M.A.. In Three Volumes. EDINBURGH. Printed at the University Press by T. and A. Constable for the Scottish History Society, October 1896. Volume III, pp. 364-365.) The author of this letter is not identified other than being of the house of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie and a near relation to the late Capt. Alexander Stewart, 10th of Glenbuckie, who was murdered in 1745. But our concern is the identity of the valet, who is identified as "John Stewart of the family of Ardvorlich." This same John Stewart of the family of Ardvorlich, and valet to Prince Charles, is also mentioned in the following excerpt from the book, Un Stuart dans la Nation Corse: "John Stuart n’était pas la seule personne portant ce nom employé auprès de la cour exilée de Rome. John Roy Stuart d’Ardvorlich en Écosse arriva à Rome en 1740 et se maria plus tard avec une noble italienne prénommée Rosa. Il servit en tant que valet de chambre et puis comme maggiordomo auprès du Prince Charles durant 20 ans, et il fut titré baronet Jacobite en 1784. John Roy Stuart était toujours en vie en 1788 quand le Prince Charles lui it un legs dans son testament, mais la date de sa mort demeure inconnue. Son fils Carlo devint colonel au service du pape et était toujours vivant en 1848." (Un Stuart dans la Nation Corse, by Desideriu Ramelet-Stuart, (Editions Stuart of Corsica © 2013. p 4.) I have translated the above text from French into English: "John Stewart was not the only person of that name employed as part of the exiled court in Rome. John Roy Stewart of Ardvorlich in Scotland arrived in Rome in 1740 and married late with a noble Italian named Rosa. He served as the valet of the chamber and also as majordomo to Prince Charles for 20 years and he was styled a Jacobite baronet in 1784. John “The Red” Stewart was still alive in 1788 when Prince Charles left him a bequest in his will, but the date of his death remains unknown. His son Charles served as a colonel to the pope and was still alive in 1848." There are some key tidbits in this text. It mentions that John Roy Stewart arrived in Rome in 1740 which was before the 1745 Rising! It says that John married late, presumably not long after that. So he must have been old enough to be an adult in 1740 and young enough to still be alive in 1788. Thus a birth sometime around 1700-1720ish would seem right. John had enough standing on his own, not just as the Prince’s valet, to be able to marry an Italian woman of noble birth. John is named as a Jacobite baronet in 1784. This means that he was a land owner. Although he was “of the family of Ardvorlich,” we know that he was not a laird of Ardvorlich itself as we have a thorough accounting of the lairds of Ardvorlich and there is no John Stewart among them. So John Roy Stewart had to have been the laird of a lesser estate closely connected to Ardvorlich. Balimeanach was the next closest estate to the main Ardvorlich line. The John Stewart I suggested above who was born in 1709, is just the right age to be an adult in 1740 and still alive in 1788. He was the second son of William Stewart, 4th in Balimeanach. The house of Balimeanach at the time of John’s birth was a cadet branch of Ardvorlich, second in seniority to the main branch. As the second son of the family, John would not have been due to inherit Balimeanach. However, all of that changed in 1760, when his distant cousin, Robert Stewart, 6th of Ardvorlich, died without issue and the old family of Ardvorlich became extinct. Suddenly John Stewart’s older brother, Robert, found himself unexpectedly the heir of the estate of Ardvorlich. Until now, we have account John’s oldest brother as Robert Stewart, 5th of Balimeanach and 7th of Ardvorlich. We had no information on what happened to the estate of Balimeanach after Robert Stewart, 5th of Balimeanach, inherited Ardvorlich. Until now, we had assumed that Balimeanach had simply been rolled into the larger Ardvorlich estate, as there was no further mention of Balimeanach and both properties are located adjacent to each other. But this new information would suggest otherwise. It would make sense, when John’s oldest brother, Robert, inherited Ardvorlich, that Robert would then give Balimeanach to his next younger brother, namely John. Thus, I think John Stewart, as next in line, inherited Balimeanach, and should be accounted as 6th of Balimeanach. And this transaction would have taken place in 1760 and, thus, John would accurately be described as a “Jacobite Baronet of the family of Ardvorlich” in 1784. John also came from a family of factors. His younger brother, James, was factor to Ardvorlich. And his nephew, William, 8th of Ardvorlich, was factor to the Earl of Breadalbane. So it would be fitting that John would have had an administrative roll in the exiled Royal court of Prince Charlie. The fact that John Roy Stewart, the valet, named (what appears to be) his only son, Charles (Carlos), breaking from the traditional naming custom, would appear to be an homage to the Prince he so faithfully served for most of his life. Everything fits! I think we have successfully identified John Roy Stewart, Prince Charlie’s valet, as John Stewart, second son of William Stewart, 4th of Balimeanach. ------------- The Exiled Stewarts in Italy, 1717-1807, edited by Helen Catherine Stewart, Hon. Serving Sister of St. John of Jerusalem. p 63-64 Prince Charles Edward had an unhappy life both in Florence and in Rome, but his last days were soothed by the care and attention of his daughter. The weather-vane of the Palazzo San Clementi (formerly Guadagni) where they lived in Florence still bears the royal initials ‘C.R.’ In 1786, they moved to Rome and settled in the Palazzo Muti in the Piazza S.S. Apostoli. In 1787, Charlotte was given entire charge of her father’s affairs. He had one faithful friend, ‘John Stewart, an Athol man,’* who remained with him to the very end and was with him when he died on January 30, 1788. After his death six altars were set up in the palace and two hundred masses were said during the thirty hours that elapsed before the body of Charles Edward Stewart was transferred in a horse litter to Frascati, where he was buried in his brother’s cathedral. *Footnote: John Stewart (whose father’s name was James) is called by Prince Charles Edward in his will his “Maestro di Casa,” and the bequest is made to him of one hundred ‘Scudi Fiorentini’ a month, as well as a pleasant and convenient apartment in the Florentine palace, in recognition of his faithful and assiduous service. John Stewart married a Roman, Rosa Fiorani, and in 1787 their son Charles sought admission to the English College in Rome, his ‘Protettore’ being Cardinal Corsini. When working in the Vatican during 1938, the writer was able to follow up the career of this Charles Stewart though the publication of a new pamphlet (not yet put into the library) relating to the Castellans of the Castle of Sant’ Angelo. Charles became an officer in the Papal Army and rose to be Director of the Artillery School. He was generally esteemed, of an imposing figure, dignified yet simple. Pius IX made him provisional Commandant of Sant’ Angelo, and he was present when the Pope fled to Gaeta in 1848 and at the proclamation of the Republic. He remained in command until the French took the castle on July 3, 1848.He died at 104 Via Frattina, Rome, on December 27, 1864, and lies buried in the parish church of San Lorenzo in Lucina, in the left transept of which there are marble tablets to his memory and that of his wife, Marianna Pioli. The inscription to him is as follows: "Hic Jacet Carolus Stuvart Ultimus E Stirpe Quae Exturbatos Ex Anglia Reges Per Exilia Et Expeditiones Sequuta Cum Carolo Odoardo Duce Romae Demum Condsedit In Pontificia Militia Ballistariorum Regimen Tenuit Ipso Curante Munitiones Centumcellarum Adauctae Urbis Arci Praefuit Plurium Equitatum Insignia Meruit Patrimonio Pauperibus Di Turno Famulatu Sibi Addictis Relicto Obit Sexto Kalendas Januarias Anni MDCCLXV Annos Natus LXXXVI Corpus Eius Voluntate Prope Illud Praemortuae Uxoris Hic Positum In Pace Domini Diem Resurrectionis Expectat." "Here lies Charles Stuart, the last from that stalk (root/lineage). And he sat (ruled over?) those kings disturbed (expelled?) from England through exile and expeditions (someone is following someone or something - can't figure out the antecedent)….with Charles Edward, leader at/from/of Rome until/at the end.

By his wishes, his body was placed near his wife, who died before him. He awaits the day of resurrection of God in peace." --------------- The Stuarts in Italy, 1719-1766: A Royal Court in Permanent Exile, by Edward T. Corp P 349 The news was taken to Prince Charles by Lumisden, who met him on the road south of Florence. The prince was accompanied by three Scottish gentlemen, John Hay of Restalrig, Adam Urquhart and Lachlan Mackintosh, by his Scottish valet de chambre, John Roy Stuart, and by… P 351 The strains in the Palazzo del Re came to a head in December 1768. According to his biographer, the prince ‘had done little [that year] but drink’, and ‘his drunken rages increased in intensity’. In a scene which has often been described, Prince Charles dismissed Hay of Restalrig, Lumisden and Urquhart for trying to stop him attending the performance of an oratorio while drun. The three Scots were replaced by four Italians, but John Roy Stuart, the valet de chambre, was promoted to be maggiordomo. That appointment, made while Sir John Constable was sill living in the palazzo, indicated the depth to which the household of Prince Charles had sunk in only three years.

69	"Mariota" is recorded by MacGregor as the daughter of Sir John Oliphant of Aberdalgie, in his Graham chapter, however the Oliphant chapter shows no such daughter for Sir John Oliphant. Stirnet adds a note saying that this Mariota is often confused for the Mariota Oliphant, daughter of Sir John Oliphant of Aberdalgie who married ROBERT Graham, brother of Sir William Graham. On this rare point I follow Stirnet over MacGregor.	Mariota (I9586)

71	"Mr. Moore taught at Smuck School at Maple Grove and at Corinth. He was 84 years old when in 1922 he very ably addressed the old teachers and pupils of Corinth School gathered to bid farewell to the old building with all its memories, and which was to be demolished to make room for the present modern building. "A few years after his marriage in 1861 to Miss Catherine Stewart, daughter of Duncan and Margaret Drummond Stewart of Maple Grove, Mr. Moore gave up teaching and farmed in Bayham. His first farm was the Todd farm. Later, he sold this and bought the Auston place, which he sold after some years to Ambrose Jackson in 1872. He then bought a farm at Frome. "In the early spring of that year he drove from his home near Straffordville to Frome to finish up negotiations over his new farm. On his way home he passed through St. Thomas, where a sale was being held. A farm in Bayham was being sold for taxes and just to help the sale he put in a bid and to his consternation a 200 acre farm was knocked down to him. He now had 400 acres of land on his hands, a lot of land in those days. "However, that same Spring, he sold 100 acres to Alex Grant Sr. Later, the other 100 of his acquisition to John Neville. Some time after this land passed into the hands of the Rollason brothers, who finished paying for it. "Whitson Edward was a prominent member of the then Methodist Church at Frome and superintendent of the Sunday School until his death in 1924. He was an early riser and when it became necessary for him to 'slow up', his family wanted him to rest longer in the morning. He said, 'When I was a young man I resolved that the sun would never find me in bed and it hasn't'. He was very fond of reading and if he saw any of the children idle he would say 'Don't be idle. If you have nothing to do, get a book'. There were seven children - Allen, Margaret, Mary, Leah, Edward, Lilly, Whitson. (sic)" (Talbot Times) In 1851, he was residing in Bayham township, Elgin County, Ontario, Canada, with his parents and siblings. They were living next door to his future in-laws, the Stewarts and the Hatches. In 1871, he was residing in Bayham township, Elgin County, Ontario, Canada, employed as a farmer, with his wife and children: Alan, Margaret, Mary, and Leah.

73	"My grand mother Mary Agnes Parkinson (1882 -1944) nee Bland was sister to James Bland b.1894. Mary Agnes worked in the White Lund munitions factory during the Great War ; my grandfather Ralph Parkinson went as a volunteer in the Lancashire King's Own Regiment . He came back from the war with an injury , however , never spoke one word about "over there." As a small child I knew my grandmother - a beautiful lady with black hair and brown eyes. My grand parents lived on Alfred Street behind the theatre. I visited it and remember the brasses around the open coal fireplace. Once a week, on Fridays, a fish man came down the "backs" selling "Fresh fish from Morecambe Bay." They were small flat fish known as dabs and they were so fresh they jumped up and down in the sink! Besides Mary Agnes Parkinson, the only other Bland descendent I met ( just after WWII) was Mary Ann Angus (b.1907). She worked in the offices at Lancaster Marks & Spencer's. As a child she had lived in Canada. She gave me a small present - a child's flat iron from Canada. I still have it. The Parkinsons and Blands were both old time Lancaster families."

75	"NEIL STEWART OF AUCHMOR, had a wadset of the lands of Bowtarrie Mor,vEaster and Wester Tullich, in Glen Lochay, from John, Earl of Breadalbane, on 24 October 1696, in which he is styled as brother to Allan Stewart of Incherich, and is styled son of the late Dugal Stewart of Incheroch in a renunciation of 5 May 1702, by himself in favour of John, Earl of Breadalbane, for 2000 merks Scots contained in a contract of marriage between himself and Jean Stewart." (Gordon MacGregor, Red Book of Scotland) According to the Invernahyle genealogy in The Scottish Journal, Neil Stewart had Ledcharrie and Edarramhionoich in Glendochart and succeeded his nephew in Innischaoraich. Although it appears this succession is correct, it is difficult to understand why all of James' brothers were passed over in the succession in preference of his uncle, unless Neil Stewart purchased Innischaoraich from James rather than inherited it. According to MacGregor, Neil was alive in 1694.	Stewart, Neil of Auchmore and 4th of Innischaoraich (I17837)

78	"One of the Officers injured in the battle was Donald MacLaren, drover from Invernenty. Donald was a Captain in the Atholl Regiment. He was injured at Culloden but was carried off the field. He and other Atholl men made it back to Balquhidder and then on to Leny where he was injured during a skirmish with the Perthshire Militia on the 19th of July, 1746. MacLaren was taken into custody along with Major David Stewart of Ballahallan, Captain Malcolm MacGregor of Concour, Sergeant King alias Macree (from Lord Murray's regiment) and three privates.[14] By the newspaper accounts of the day, all the men captured were from the Atholl brigade. These men were transported to Stirling Castle and imprisoned.[15] He was treated by the prison physician for his wounds on the 20th of July and subsequently, on September 3, 1746, bound to a dragoon for transfer to Carlisle to stand trial for treason.[15] During the course of that transport MacLaren was freed or freed himself (the escape has been related both ways) and escaped by throwing himself off a cliff called the Devil's Beef Tub near Moffet. Although the King's dragoons fired after him, the mist hid his movements and his escape was successful.[14] He remained in hiding as a fugitive in Balquhidder until the amnesty of 1757.[2]" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_MacLaren) ------- "Donald, in Easter Invernenty, was famed as a cattle dealer and drover-these terms were more or less synonymous-and it was he who led Clan Labhran to join the Appin Regiment in the “Forty-five”. His kinsman, John, in Wester Invernenty, did not live to see that exploit. Donald’s wife, Elizabeth Stewart, was a grand-daughter of Donald Stewart of Invernahyle in Appin; John’s wife’s name was Beatrice Stewart, who had a brother, John Stewart. Each of these MacLarens held his land under charter from the Duke of Atholl as feudal superior, which conferred on the holders the feudal rights of barony giving them wide authority over lesser tenants and vassals. They had, in fact, the standing of lairds and Donald was MacLaren of, not merely in, Invernenty, while John chose to be known as Stob-Chon, from the name of a prominent hill within his barony, which would be called, in English, the Hound’s Peak."

James Campbell, commanding the Perth Volunteers in Balquhidder, having information of several Rebel Officers having returned to the Braes of that Country, went himself with a Party by the South side of the loch, whilst Daniel M’Euen, his Ensign, went up the Strath of that Country, towards Glenkarnock; but notwithstanding all the precaution used by the Captain, they found Means to escape, 12 towards the Braes of Brodalbine, and 18 towards the Breas of Lenny, and the Forrest of Glenartney.The Captain having Information thereof, marched with about 30 of his Men towards the Breas of Lenny, divided them so as to surround a party of them in a Sheill, and to guard the Passes below, that none of them might escape.About Five o’Clock the Party under Ensign M’Euen surrounded a Lodge or Sheilling hut, from which they received a very brisk Fire, from the Door and two Windows, for 15 Minutes or upwards, which was returned by the Volunteers with the same Alacrity; afterwards the Rebels lodged in the Hutt, being all wounded except one, surrendered, viz. Major Stewart, Brother to the Laird of Advorlick; Capt. Malcolm M’Gregor of Comour; Capt. Donald MacLaren; Sergeant King, Alias M’Ree, late of Sir Patrick Murray’s Highland Regiment, and three private Men.Of our Men none were hurt tho’ several Balls went through their Cloaths, especially Thomas More the late Lieutenant Follie, who always shewed himself upon every Occasion, willing to destroy Rebels.

It was this escape that formed the story of "Pate in Peril" in Walter Scott's Redgauntlet.

79	"Our subject leads us to talk of deadly feuds, and we must begin with one still more ancient than that to which our story relates. During the reign of James IV., a great feud between the powerful families of Drummond and Murray divided Perthshire. The former, being the most numerous and powerful, cooped up eight score of the Murrays in the kirk of Monivaird, and set fire to it. The wives and the children of the ill-fated men, who had also found shelter in the church, perished by the same conflagration. One man, named David Murray, escaped by the humanity of one of the Drummonds, who received him in his arms as he leaped from amongst the flames. As King James IV. ruled with more activity than most of his predecessors, this cruel deed was severely revenged, and several of the perpetrators were beheaded at Stirling. In consequence of the prosecution against his clan, the Drummond by whose assistance David Murray had escaped, fled to Ireland, until, by means of the person whose life he had saved, he was permitted to return to Scotland, where he and his descendants were distinguished by the name of Drummond-Eirinich, or Ernoch, that is, Drummond of Ireland; and the same title was bestowed on their estate." -- Sir Walter Scott, Introduction to "A Legend of Montrose"	Drummond, John 3rd of Drummonderinoch (I5091)

He maintained a vast collection of Civil war era firearms and assorted artifacts, many collected personally from the battlefields he visited.

82	"Samuel grew up in Colrain and Shelburne, Massachusetts, and he and Elizabeth moved to Royalton, Ohio, in 1816. Severance does not have any further information on their son John Stewart and John's descendants." (Jared Olar) Note: Severence actually has little detail on most of Samuel's children. ---------- Samuel/ (Samuel,4 John,3 Robert,2 Walter,1) b. in Londonderry, N. H., Feb. 23, 1749, came to Colrain with the family when an infant. He was a resident of Shelburne prior to 1773, settling there not far from 1770 and was first occupant of lot No. 23y which was divided by quite a stream, afterward called Stewart Brook, and the following poem was written in commemoration. Stewart Brook. 1770. Upon Bel Eden's wind-kissed height, Just over in Colrain, A rather high and hilly town, But not unknown to fame, A little streamlet gushes forth Fresh, pure, from crystal fountains, And gaily gambols down the hills And through the distant mountains. The graceful deer from out the wood Feed on its grassy brink, The muskrat scampers up the bank Pursued by gamey mink. Fierce panthers scream along its course, The wolves reply with howls, The bears on mischief ever bent Re-echo back with growls. Upon a meadow near this brook, Mid Nature's solitude, Young Stewart built a cabin strong, A building small and rude. Here in the forest's deep recess, His axe rings sharp and clear, Swung by the cordy sinews of This sturdy pioneer. 1904. How changed the scene wild nature tamed Along this silvery stream, The forest's giant trees are gone The past seems but a dream. White clover blossoms on the hills, Cows graze upon the plain And on the nearby hillside slopes Are fields of grass and grain. The wild rose opes its petals sweet, The last wild flower of spring, The golden rod's bright yellow plume Nods to the wild wind's wing. The lily lifts its painted cup Along these flower-strewn banks, The gentian too of heavenly blue Springs up in stately ranks. Old maples stand on either shore, Their branches softly meet, Neath which these joyous waters flow, With music glad and sweet. Rush onward in thy course, sweet brook, Swift through the tangled sod, And in the sweetest melody Sing praises to thy God. - B. F. S. He was a soldier in the Revolution and tradition says he was at one time taken prisoner in that war. His name appears first on a muster roll in Capt. Hugh McClellan's Co., Col. Samuel Williams's Regt. which marched for Boston on the Lexington Alarm ; re-enlisted while there, May 1, 1775, in Capt. Robert Oliver's Co., Col. Ephraim Dolittle's Regt. ; served eight months, his name appearing on a company returned of the above regiment dated Winter Hill, Oct. 6, 1775; his name also appearing among the signatures to an order for bounty coat or its equivalent in money due for the eight months' service in 1775 in the above company and regiment dated Winter Hill Dec. 23, 1775. From Hemenway's Vermont Historical Gazetteer we find he fought at Bunker Hill, went with Arnold in his detachment that penetrated the wilderness by the way of Kennebec River. Charles Knowles Bolton in speaking of that expedition in " The Private Soldier under Washington " says ; " The men many a night lay down without food. Several became very weak from hunger, and at last a captain gave them his pet dog. The soldiers carried the poor creature away and ate every part of his flesh, not excepting his entrails. Two other dogs were eaten the same day. When exposure and hunger had prepared the way, a fourth or a third of the men in some of the regiments died of smallpox. A day's march was frequently as little as ten miles. " After the assault on Quebec and the fall of Montgomery, his term of service having expired, he returned home. (The old tinder-box which he carried at Quebec is a valued relic in the possession of his descendants.) February 23, 1777, he enlisted with the rank of sergeant in Capt. Lawrence Kemp's Co., Col. Leonard's Regt. for service at Ticonderoga ; discharged April 10, 1777. He removed from Colrain to Salem, N. Y., from there to Whitehall, and from there to Bristol, Vt., where he continued to reside until 18 16. He was one of the first board of selectmen at Bristol, and was a bold and resolute man. In the fall of 18 16 he set out to seek a better fortune in Ohio, locating at Royalton in that state. He was among the earliest applicants for a pension but passed away before receiving it. He m. Elizabeth Abbott of Pawlet, Vt., b. in Salisbury, Conn., Oct. 21, 1759. He d. at Royalton Aug. 28, 1827, and was buried with military honors in recognition of his Revolutionary service. His wife survived him nearly nine years. Like her husband she was a born pioneer and possessed an equal amount of daring and resolution for which the following incident, related by a granddaughter, gives her credit. During the Revolution and at the time of the battle of Bennington in 1777, her parents were living near the battlefield ; her father and brothers had gone to the scene of action. It was in the days of New England slavery, and her father owned a slave. Some of the family were sick with the measles, but hearing the roar of the terrible conflict, they sought safety in flight. Yoking the oxen hastily and putting a few valuables in the cart, she bade the slave drive the oxen while she harnessed the horses ; placed a bed in the wagon, helped her feeble mother and sick sister in and they were off. As they came in sight of the raging battle, their path diverged and led them down into a deep, marshy gutter, which held the wheels of the cart fast in the mud. The slave, angry because he had not been allowed to drive the horses, refused to help his young mistress in this trying predicament. Dauntless, she alighted, and seiz-ing some rails near by she laid them pontoon fashion, hitched the horses in front of the oxen, and with one long, hard pull they were extricated and on their way to safety. She d. at Royalton, Ohio, Feb. 4, 1836. (Severence)	Stewart, Samuel (I24412)

95	"There's one point where Severance is wrong, and that is the paternity of Capt. John Stewart. His mother was Alice Atchison, who according to Stewart family tradition married first James Stewart (father of John) and then after James' untimely death she married James' younger brother Samuel, who raised John. Severance shows Samuel as the father of John, yet John's date of birth shows he was born before James' death. This is the ancestral family of the Stewarts of Middlebury, Vt., who served as state governors and senators, were hunting partner with President Teddy Roosevelt, and whose descendant Philip Battell Stewart II discovered the 18th century "Merrill Bible" with the Gartnafuaran names written in it." (Jared Olar) Severence shows John as a son of Samuel Stewart. See below for details. From FindAGrave: The following was provided to me by his descendant Edward Dunscombe: John Stewart was born at Londonderry, N.H. in 1745. In 1759, at the age of 13, he enlisted in the French and Indian War, and took part in a fight with the Indians at Oriskany during the same year. He joined Gen. Amherst's forces at Crown Point in the fall of 1759 and was present at the taking of Montreal in 1760. After the war he moved to Bennington, and joined the "Green Mountain Boys" who defended the Vermont people from New York claimants, and at the time of his death was the last of that small band. He later served in the Revolutionary War under Col. Joseph McCracken. John's father James died about 1753 and his mother remarried. He joined the British army at age 14 in 1759. Severance's Londonderry Stewarts claims that John's father was named Samuel. However Philip Stewart, Stuart, Florida stated to me in a phone conversation that this was an error and that his name was James. Philip indicated that James' wife Alice married James' brother Samuel after James died, so this may be the source of the confusion. Severance does mention this possibility (pg. 76) and notes that some feel John came to Colrain, Mass. at the age of five to live with his uncle. Claim that John was a member of the "Green Mountain Boys" is substantiated by a muster-roll reprinted in the book "New York in the Revolution as colony and state." Vol. 1. Albany, N.Y. : J.B. Lyon, 1904 which lists a John Stewart as a member (pg. 62). Another John Stewart is listed as a member of the Second Regiment. The mention of a Captain McCracken in the statement of John's son Ira (below) indicates that John was a member of the Fourth Regiment. McCracken and Stewart are mentioned as members ("New York in the Revolution, ibid., pg. 47 & 53). Apparently he was a member of the Green Mountain Boys before the Revolution, when Vermonters were involved in border struggles with New Yorkers. The following excerpt from the journal of Sergeant Samuel Merriman, kept from October 7, 1759 to September 8, 1760 (taken from Sheldon's History of Deerfield) gives a feel for daily rigors the young Stewart must have experienced" "Campt crown point, Oct. 26, 1759.

Genealogy and biography of the descendants of Walter Stewart of Scotland and of John Stewart who came to America in 1718 and settled in Londonderry, N.H. Greenfield, Mass. : T. Morey & Son, 1905, pg. 77-78) After the close of the (French & Indian) war he moved from Colrain, Mass. to Bennington, Vt. where he joined the Green Mountain Corps., which defended the Vermont people from the New Yorkers, who claimed that region under grants, and at the time of his death, he was the last but one of that little band. The following extract from the life of Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Heroes of '76 by Henry W. DePuy evidently refers to him: "In October, 1769 a number of inhabitants of Bennington were assembled upon the farm of James Breckenridge, in the western part of the town, for the purpose of assisting him in harvesting his corn. While they were thus employed, a number of surveyors came upon the farm, and appeared to be running a line across it. Mr. Breckenridge (James Breckenridge was a former resident of Colrain, Mass., and lived next lot to the Stewarts) and Mr. Samuel Robinson left their work, and entered into conversation with them. The surveyors declared they were acting under the authority of the State of New York. Mr. Breckenridge and Mr. Robinson forbade their proceeding further, stating, at the same time, that it was not their intention to use violence, but merely to protest against the proceeding, for the purpose of preserving their legal rights. Upon this they petitioned the governor and council of New York stating that the commissioners and surveyors had been "violently opposed by sundry persons, and prevented by their threats from executing the trusts reposed upon them." Upon this a proclamation was issued by the governor "for apprehending and securing the principals and ringleaders;" and at the following January term of court at Albany, several persons who had been present were indicted as rioters, and among them was John Stewart. None of them, however, were arrested or brought to trial." (Severance, B. Frank. Genealogy and biography of the descendants of Walter Stewart of Scotland and of John Stewart who came to America in 1718 and settled in Londonderry, N.H. Greenfield, Mass. : T. Morey & Son, 1905, pg. 78-79). "John Stewart was born at Londonderry, N.H., Sept. 12, 1745. He told his grandson Homer H. Stuart that having lost his father when he was about five years old he went to Colrain, Mass. to live with his uncle, Samuel Stewart. In 1759, when fourteen, he enlisted in the French and Indian War and marched into the Province of New York, where he took part in a fight with the Indians at Oriskany. His company served under General Jeffrey Amherst and he was with it at the taking of Montreal in 1760. After the close of this war we find him a member of the Congregational Church at Bennington, Vt. and also enrolled in "The Green Mountain Corps," which defended the Vermont people from the New Yorkers who laid claim to Western Vermont under Grants. He took part in the events of the stirring year of 1775, serving under General Montgomery at the second capture of Montreal, November 13, 1775, and serving in the Revolutionary War under Colonel Joseph McCracken. After the war he was addressed as "Captain" Stewart." Whether this title came to him by regular commission or was accorded by courtesy of the day, is uncertain, but judging from his character it is scarcely probable he would, unless really entitled, have allowed its use. Moreover he had a sword - usually the badge of a commissioned officer. When the Revolutionary War ended, he settled at Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain, where for ten years he kept an inn, called "Mount Independence House." This inn was destroyed by fire in 1794 and he moved to a farm at Burlington, not far from Cooperstown, N.Y. Between 1806 and 1811 he resided at New Haven, Vt., and from the latter year until his death, July 31, 1829, at Middlebury, Vt. While Captain Stewart was rather reticent, as a rule, he was less reserved with his grandson, Homer H. Stuart. Occasionally winter evenings, by the large open fireplace, he would relate events of his own childhood and adventures that had befallen him and his brothers in youth and manhood. Often in later years did Homer wish that he had taken the precaution to write down these reminiscences of his grandfather and great uncles in the French and Indian War - with Rogers' Rangers - in the forays of the Green Mountain Corps -- in the Revolution, as well as further West where William Stewart, the companion of Daniel Boone lost his life at the Battle of Blue Licks. But the young, listening to such hearthside narrations, are prone to forget how much personal and family history will pass away irrecoverably with the narrator, and thus it was with him. Captain Stewart had a distinct remembrance of his aged great-grandmother. He used to relate to Homer her stories of the family's persecutions by "Bonnie Dundee," in Scotland. Tradition in the family states that she (a Forsyth) (editor's note: this would be Jeannette Forsythe) was the widow of Robert Stuart who was born in Scotland in 1655, and died in 1714. She accompanied her son John Stuart, (the proprietor) born in Edinburgh about 1682, to Londonderry, N.H., and survived him. As Captain Stewart was born in 1745, she must have been living as late as 1750 or 1752. Homer H. Stuart once remarked that the character "Henry Morton of Milnwood," in Sir Walter Scott's Romance "Old Mortality," reminded him of Robert Stuart as portrayed in these tales of Captain Stewart's great-grandfather. For Robert, according to these stories, fought against Monmouth and in consequence was exiled and deprived of his estate. With the tradition of this "lost Stuart estate" Homer was familiar, but merely laughed when urged to seek its recovery. His own good sense told him it was better to serve his day and generation in useful work than to dream of recovering these enchanted lands. Captain Stewart's sense of honor was keen. A pension was tendered him for his military services, but he replied, "I want no pay for having served my country." The evening before he passed away he sent for his grandson to come to his bedside. For some minutes he silently regarded the young man. Finally he said "Home, I am going to bid you good-by now." Then giving him some good advice as to the course of his life, he tenderly and affectionately pressed his hand in farewell. Captain Stewart's character commanded the respect of all. Rigidly upright and of unswerving conviction, he was a worthy descendant of his Covenantor ancestor Robert, "a man who would die for a principle of a prejudice" and utterly devoid of fear. After the close of the Revolutionary War the country was for some time in a distracted condition and traveling dangerous. Late one night, passing a dismantled house, he heard groans. He reined in his horse to listen. The sound came from the house. Dismounting he tied his horse and groped into the ruins. Guided by the sound he felt his way down a rickety stairway to the cellar. There two glowing eyes met his own. He stood quietly until the groaning was renewed, and then slowly advanced until his outstretched hand encountered a sheep! The creature had tumbled into the cellar and had been disabled. Into such environment not many men would have dared to enter unarmed. He attended the lecture of Lyman Beecher when the latter went through Vermont on his temperance crusade, and became convinced that it was morally wrong to use liquor. He was then eighty, and for some years had taken a small glass of Medford rum. He ordered the cask brought out and emptied in the barnyard. Through some oversight its inspiring contents flowed into the pig-sty and soon there was great revelry in the piggery! Captain Stewart was very hospitable and lived well, having everything of the best. His horses were noted as carefully selected animals. He was an exemplary Christian and a pillar of the Middlebury Church. In person he was somewhat over six feet tall, well built, but not corpulent, abundant white hair, fair complexion and a strong-featured face. His carriage was erect and dignified (Severance, pg. 165-170). Severance gives further details of his service. "He enlisted April 28, 1759 - at the age of 13 - served until September 24th as one of the garrison at Charlemont; re-enlisted for service in Canada (pg. 77) In person he was over six feet tall and well built, with abundant white hair and strong featured face. His carriage was erect and dignified, and it was later said that he had resembled the Duke of Wellington during his later years. Capt. Stewart died at Middlebury in 1829. When the Revolution ended, the family moved to Ticonderoga, on the shores of Lake Champlain, where for ten years they kept an Inn, called "The Mount Independence House." The Inn was destroyed by fire in 1794 and the family moved to a farm at Burlington, near Cooperstown, N.Y. Between 1806 and 1811 they kept a general store at New Haven, Vermont, and from the latter year until the present the family has lived in Middlebury. (Private letters of The Stewart family of Middlebury, Vermont. Selected and edited by John E. Stewart, 1968. Sheldon Museum, Middlebury, Vt.) The following is the text of John Stewart's pension record for service in the Revolutionary War as obtained from the National Archives. It is difficult to decipher the photocopy. Missing words are denoted with a "(?)." It also seems to begin in the middle of the document, indicating missing material: "...strongly solicited to accompanying the army in that expedition with the officer of a commission as Captain; but that the (unprotected?) situation of his family (forbade?) his remaining, and he returned home. And (then?) the said Huldah Stewart well recollects that her said husband returned to her at Cambridge near Christmas, and that he had in his possession when he returned a curiously wrought leather bag, filled with papers which he (related?) to his services as commissary as aforesaid, and that he said the bag was given him for that use. That early in July A.D. 1777, the said John Stewart resided with his family in Pawlet, Vermont, then called the New Hampshire Grants, and the the neighborhood in which they lived was alarmed by an (express?) communicating the intelligence of the Captain of Ticonderoga, and the disastrous result of the battle of (Hubbardtown?), and that the Indians attached to Burgoyne's army were overrunning the whole country. All the (whigs?) who resided in that part of the country, were compelled to abandon their settlements at the (North?), and remove South to some place of greater security. That the said John Stewart (?) a (?) put forward his family, consisting of the applicant and their young children, and remained behind himself a few hours to endeavor to (?) some of his furniture, provisions, and other valuables, which were all however found, and stolen or destroyed by the (tories?), and with the exception of one iron kettle, never recovered by the said Stewarts. Among the not, the leather bag before mentioned, containing the commissary and other papers relating to the military services of the said Stewart, was (?), and all the papers destroyed fragments of them having been found strewed upon the ground for a considerable distance from the house. After suffering great hardships, the applicant, with her children was placed in the family of her father in Bennington where she remained until Nov. after the surrender of Burgoyne. On the alarm occasioned by the approach of the enemy under Col. Baum, the said John Stewart joined the American forces under Gen. Stark, as a volunteer, and was in both engagements of the 16th of August A.D. 1777. In this action he personally disarmed and made prisoner a Hessian soldier, and the gun, sword, and accouterments taken from the Hessian were for many years preserved in the family of said Stewart, and a knife made from the sword is now in the possession of the applicant. The said John Stewart on this occasion was in the service of the United States as the applicant verily believes during all this time that the prisoners then taken were at Bennington. She further declares that she was legally married to the said John Stewart at the house of her father Elnathan Hubbell in Bennington aforesaid on the 12th day of March A.D. 1772, by the Rev. Jedadiah Dewey the first settled minister of said town. That she resided in said town until 1774, when they returned to Cambridge, New York. That in 1776 or 7 they removed to Pawlet, Vermont. That in 1780, they removed to Ticonderoga, New York, in 1793 to Orwell, Vermont, in 1795 to Burlington, New York, in 1804, to New Haven, Vermont, in 1812, to Middlebury, Vermont, where she has ever since resided: -- That her eldest child Cynthia was born in Bennington, Aaron in 1775, in Cambridge, Noble in 1777, and Ira in 1779 in Pawlet. That her husband the aforesaid John Stewart died at Middlebury aforesaid on the 30th day of July A.D. 1829 and that she has remained a widow ever since that period, as will more fully appear by reference to the proof (hints?) annexed. That she has no documentary proof, and knows of no person living by whom she can prove the revolutionary services of her husband. Sworn and subscribed on he day and year first before written. Huldah Stewart - her mark Before Mr. (G.?) (H.?) (Jenison?), Judge I certify that the above named Huldah Stewart is personally known to me and that she is a reliable witness. (G.?) (H.?) (Jenison?), Judge" The following is a deposition by Ira Stewart, son of John Stewart: I Ira Stewart of Middlebury on the County of Addison and State of Vermont, aged sixty six years being duly sworn depose and say, that I am the third son of John Stewart, late of said Middlebury deceased, and Huldah Stewart his wife, and I further say that the said John Stewart my father deceased on the thirtieth day of July, 1829, AD 1829, and that my Mother, the said Huldah, is yet living and has ever remained the Widow of the said John Stewart, and is now Ninety four years of age and in the full possession of all her faculties. I have frequently heard my father in his lifetime speak of his first campaign in the American Army, during the year 1775 under the command of General Montgomery in the invasion of Canada. The said John, my father, stated that he entered the American Service on or about the first of June A D 1775 for the term of six months at Cambridge in the County of Washington and State of New York as orderly Sergeant in Captain McCracken's Company and Colonel (Van Schaide's?) Regiment of the New York line: that he was recruiting officer for the Company, to which he belonged; and that he recruited in Cambridge aforesaid, and in Salem in the said County of Washington previous to General Montgomery's march to Canada, he joined his company with his recruits and was present in the American Army at the taking of the Isle Aux noix, St. Johns and Montreal; and that when the Army reached Canada, he was appointed (Issuing?) Commissary and continued to occupy the office and fulfill its duties until the execution of his term of enlistment, at which time he returned to his family, then residing in Cambridge aforesaid. And he further stated, that when the fort at Ticonderoga was taken by the British under the command of General Burgoyne in 1777, he resided on the Town of Pawlet in Vermont, And information having been received that a large force of British Indians were ravaging the County and advancing on that Town, he together with the other inhabitants (?) left their habitations and retreated to the Town of Bennington leaving behind them all their effects, and that at that time he lost his discharge and other vouchure (sic) of the service he performed in the American Army, together with all the rest of his papers. That while at Bennington he joined General Stark's Command, as a Volunteer, and was present and fought in the Battles of Bennington when Cols. Baum and Breyman (editor's note: this should read "Breymann") commanding the British forces were defeated, and that in that Conflict, he personally took a Hessian soldier prisoner. The accouterments gun and sword belonging to that Prisoner have been, until a few years since, in the possession of the said John Stewart's family: and a knife made from the blade of the same sword is now in the possession of the deponent. And this deponent says and verily believes, that the said Captain McCracken to whose Company his father belonged, was present and took part in the battle of Monmouth and lost an arm in the said battle. My father was an intimate personal friend of the said Captain McCracken and on or about the year 1801 in the month of January or February I accompanied my said father on a visit to the Capt. then Colonel McCracken and heard them among other things recount their adventures in the American service during the Campaign of 1775 but from the long lapse of time and from not particularly storing his memory with it, this deponent is unable to relate their conversation. And this deponent further states that sometime since, at the request of his mother, the said Huldah Stewart, he examined the Records in the office of the Secretary of State for the State of New York in Albany for the purpose of finding the proofs of his father's the said John Stewart's service in the American Army; and in the book of Records this deponent found the Role of the Commissioned officers of the said Capt. McCracken's Company (Van Schack's?) Regiment, but no Role of the non commissioned officers and privates of the said Capt. McCracken's Company; and further this deponent saith not. Ira Stewart State of Vermont District of Addison (?) (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/35254048/john-stewart) -------- Severence: John,5 (see Memoir of Capt. John Stewart, p. 165) (Samuel,4 John,3 Robert,2 Walter,1) b. at Londonderry, N. H, Sept. 12, 1745, m. March 12, 1772, Huldah, dau. of Elnathan Hubbell of Bennington. It is thought by some that he was a son of James, whose widow is said to have married Samuel the brother of James, and that at the age of five years he came to Colrain, Mass., to live with his uncle Samuel. He enlisted April 28, 1759 - at the age of 13 - served until September 24th as one of the garrison at Charlemont ; re-enlisted for service in Canada, joining General Amherst's forces at Crown Point in the fall of 1759, and he was present at the taking of Montreal in 1760. No better account of his service can be found than Sergeant Samuel Merriman's journal kept by himself, for a part of the time, from October 7, 1759, to September 8, 1760, which we get from Sheldon's History of Deerfield : " Campt crown point, Oct. 26, 1759. " friday this day we set out to clean a rode to No. 4, we crost the Lake about Sun set & then campt. " Satterday the 27 we camp east side of ye Lak upon Mager Hawks Rode ; this day we set out to clear ye Rode and cleared as far as two mile Brook and we campt. Nothing extraordinary haped this Day. " Sabath October ye 28, 1759 this day we cleared 4 miles and then campt. "Monday, October 29, 1759, this day we marched 2 miles further and then came to a stream and made a brigue over and then marched 2 miles further and then came to a nother large stream and there we campt &c. " Tuesday, October ye 30, 1 759. We maid ye great brigue and march 3 miles & then campt. October ye 31, 1759, then march 2 miles & then we eat dinner." After the close of the war he removed from Colrain to Bennington, Vt., and became a member of the Green Mountain Corps, which defended the Vermont people from the New Yorkers, who claimed that region under grants, and at the time of his death, he was the last but one of that little band. The following extract from the life of Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Heroes of '76, by Henry W. DePuy, evidently refers to him. " In October, 1769 a number of the inhabitants of Bennington were assembled upon the farm of James Breckenridge, in the western part of the town, for the purpose of assisting him in harvesting his corn. While they were thus employed, a number of surveyors came upon the farm, and appeared to be running a line across it. Mr. Breckenridge (James Breckenridge was a former resident of Colrain, Mass., and lived next lot to the Stewarts) and Mr. Samuel Robinson left their work, and entered into conversation with them. The surveyors declared they were acting under the authority of the State of New York. Mr. Breckenridge and Mr. Robinson forbade their proceeding further, stating, at the same time, that it was not their intention to use violence, but merely to protest against the proceeding, for the purpose of preserving their legal rights. Upon this they petitioned the governor and council of New York stating that the commissioners and surveyors had been c violently opposed by sundry persons, and prevented by their threats from executing the trusts reposed in them.' Upon this a proclamation was issued by the governor c for apprehending and securing the principals and ringleaders ; ' and at the following January term of court at Albany, several persons who had been present were indicted as rioters, and among them was John Stewart. None of them, however, were arrested or brought to trial."	Stewart, Capt. John (I24389)
96	"Thomas was involved in the burning of the Murrays in the church of Monzievaird, in 1488, during which he aided the escape of John Murray of Trowan, one of the entrapped parties, and, for which, he was afterwards compelled to flee to Ireland in fear of his life. Several years later. when he returned, he received a grant of lands near to Comrie, by the thankful Murrays, who named it in his honour, Drummonderinoch, or "Drummond ot he Irishman's." (Magregor)	Drummond, Thomas 1st of Drummonderinoch (I5242)
97	"Thomas Watters, 1862-1907 The death took place suddenly on Monday last of Mr. Thomas Watters, of Glenample, Lochearnhead, a well-known flockmaster. It appears that Mr. Watters together with Mr. Alex Cowan of Spittalhill, Fintry, were attending at the farm of Mr. Fraser, Townfoot, Denny, to conduct a valuation. Mr. Watters took suddenly ill about noon. He had immediate attention at the residence of Mr. Fraser, and medical aid was summoned from Denny. Notwithstanding all efforts, Mr. Watters passed away shortly after two o'clock. He was an extensive agriculturalist, an excellent judge of stock, and frequented the principal shows and sales throughout the country. Mr. Watters was between forty and fifty years of age, and was married to a member of a family greatly esteemed in Balquhidder district. In Lochearnhead, Balquhidder, and Killin neighbourhoods, Mr. Watters will be greatly missed. He took an active part in every movement which had to do with the good of West Perthshire, and he had the happy knack of combining sections and avoiding all that made for pettiness or dispeace. He was convenor of the Breadalbane Agricultural Association, and as such his great practical knowledge, breadth of view, and geniality of manner effected wonders. Wherever he went he made friends. The Perth Ram Society had in Mr. Watters a strong and sagacious supporter. At public meetings, of an agricultural or general nature, he spoke little, but his words were always to the point. He was quite at his best among friends whom he thoroughly knew, and those who were best acquainted with him esteemed him most. The funeral of the deceased took place on Thursday afternoon at Balquhidder Churchyard and was very largely attended." (The Strathearn Herald, Saturday September 7, 1907, page 4)	Watters, Thomas (I19878)
98	"Walter sold off the lands of Gartnafuaran. According to Stewarts of the South (circa 1815), 'Gartnafuaran and Stron-slan with Cean a choille and Dail riach were sold to a McLeod from Skye, and now the property of John McG[regor] Murray. Sir J[ohn] McG[regor] Murray sold Glen Mor to Capt. Stewart of Glenbucky at the rate of 4,000 pounds double the value.' "In the Ardvorlich Papers, we read, 'Sir John MacGregor Murray bought Gartnafueran from Lord Bannatyne, a paper lord, the brother of his wife.... Bannatyne must have bought Gartnafuero from its last Stewart laird, about whom Donald has heard from a man Macintyre who knew him, that he was a grand rider, and when chased by his enemies, could jump on any stray horse’s back, and as he ran away could with his long arms pick up stones from the road, and pelt his pursuers.' "Walter may be the Walter Stewart who, according to the old parish register of Callander, clandestinely married Janet Stewart in Glasgow, Lanark, on 18 April 1748. Janet is believed to be the same as Janet, born circa 1733, eldest daughter of John Ban Mor Stewart of Auchnahard in Glenfinglas. The clandestine marriage in Glasgow suggests that Walter and Janet eloped, presumably because Janet likely was no older than 15. The Walter and Janet mentioned in the old Callander parish register resided in Glenfinglas and had four children, who thus could all be the children of the last laird of Gartnafuaran. In addition, the last laird of Gartnafuaran may have been the father of Walter Stewart, tenant in Auchnahard of Glenfinglas." (Olar)	Stewart, Walter 10th of Gartnafuaran (I18419)
99	"Went insolvent or affairs became involved. Threatened with legal proceedings to recover money, etc. He went 'off his head' and was placed in restraint." (Bewley)	Dawson, John Huntingdon (I3930)
100	"Went to Pembroke."	Stewart, James (I16508)
