| 5101 | Macbeth was Mormaer of Moray and later Ard Righ (High King) of Scots. He rose up in arms against the allegedly incompetent King Duncan and slaying and succeeding Duncan as High King for which he was later wrongly maligned by Shakespeare. Macbeth died without children. | Findlaech, Macbeth mac (I5932)
|
| 5102 | MacDuff is considered legendary. Historians do not believe he actually existed. However he may actually be Kenneth MacDuff (see notes on son shown here). | MacDuff (I8686)
|
| 5103 | MacEanruig = Macenroy = probably "son of John, the Red", possibly "son of John, the King" | MacEanruig, Daughter (I8672)
|
| 5104 | MacGregor does not include this generation. Here I follow Stirnet.com. Otherwise the dates cannot be reconciled with the earlier generations presented on Stirnet. | de Strivelyn, John (I4536)
|
| 5105 | MacGregor does not show this marriage. | Graham, Anna (I7027)
|
| 5106 | MacGregor indicates that Alexander died unmarried without children. Nowhere is Alexander recorded as "2nd in Balmeanach" however his date of death post-dates his father's death and thus he must have been next in line ahead of his brother Robert to inherit Balimeanach. MacGregor indicates that he sold the lands of Ballimeanach to Robert Stewart (3rd) of Ardvorlich, on 2 January 1682. It is unclear if the property of Balimeanach then went to Alexander's younger brother, Robert, thus we now style the later families as "in" Bellemeanoch rather than "of" Ballemeanoch. Alexander had no children. | Stewart, Alexander 2nd of Balimeanach (I14647)
|
| 5107 | MacGregor says Andrew was sent to England as a child as a hostage to ensure his father's loyalty and died in childhood. Other sources saySir Andrew Stewart, a "younger son", who married the daughter of James Bethe (or Beith) and was decorated with a military sword-belt by King John II (1350-1364) of France. His mother is uncertain. [Wikipedia] | Stewart, Andrew (I14582)
|
| 5108 | MacGregor says, "[Robert Stewart, Apothecary in Doune, had issue] Alexander Stewart, who was a subtenant of the lands of Greenock." (Greenock is located on the River Teith between Torrie and Callander.) The Kilmdaock OPR shows no entries for an Alexander Stewart residing in Greenock in the right time-frame and fathering children. The closest is the following baptism entry: "12 May 1745, James, son of Alexander Stuart and Margaret McEwan in Wester Torrie, Witt. Alexander Stuart and Robert Forrester there." But there are other Stewart branches recorded as being in Torrie at this time. This Alexander is presently considered to be the best candidate to be the Alexander Stewart who later resided in Powblack of Frews and was father to the later Robert Stuart of Annat-in-Rait. This suggestion is based on circumstantial evidence only. | Stewart, Alexander in Greenock (I21091)

| 5109 | MACLEAN, KENNETH Guelph’s senior member of the Bar passed away in the General Hospital, age 76, at half past six on Thursday evening, January 13, 1921. On Tuesday the 4th, he took ill at his office and went home in a taxi cab, calling at the doctor’s on the way. On Friday following, pneumonia developed and he was moved to the hospital. On account of his age, from the first, there was much anxiety as to the outcome, though his careful manner of life always, and his well preserved physique, lent hope. On Wednesday morning, this hope was strengthened for a brief period by an apparent change for the better. The improvement was but fleeting, however. Later in the day, he grew worse. He was son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Neil MacLean, natives of Invernesshire, Scotland who came to Puslinch, concession 7, front lot 20, about a mile west of Aberfoyle, in 1848. When they sailed their little family consisted of three daughters and a son, Kenneth, then about 3 years old. The baby girl, younger than he, died at sea. On this farm, they continued to live until their death, the family being in the meantime increased by the addition of another daughter and two sons. There Kenneth spent his boyhood and was educated at Aberfoyle School under the late Mr. Weir, later attending Dr. Tassie’s school at Galt and Guelph Grammar School. He articled at law under Lemon and Peterson and later completed his legal studies at Osgoode Hall. He was admitted to the Bar in 1873 and became a partner with Lemon & Peterson until 1881, when he removed to Toronto for five years, where he joined the firm of Blake, Kerr, Boyd and Cassels. He returned to Guelph in 1886 and opened his own office. Mr. MacLean occupied a prominent position among the legal fraternity in Guelph and was known to the profession and the public alike as a wise counsellor and an honourable gentleman, worthy of the utmost trust. In his student days, Mr. MacLean came to be one of the best known young men in Guelph almost as soon as he moved there, as he played as centre fielder with the original Maple Leaf Baseball Cub. He was on the 1869 Canadian Championship team. Both the Maple Leafs and Guelph were known, as the result of their successes, by lovers of baseball throughout Canada and the U.S. Locally, the players were regarded more or less as heroes and their names were household words in the community. Though Mr. McLean did not continue to play after his student days, he was a great believer all his life in the efficacy of outdoor exercise. He was a great walker and until very recent years, might be met daily on some of the country roads about Guelph. Apart from his home and office, his chief activities were in the church to which he belonged, St. Andrew’s. Since 1890, he has been an elder and was, at the time of his death, also a trustee. He took an intelligent interest in all public affairs and exercised an influence distinguished by common sense and uprightness. In politics, he was an ardent Liberal and a worker in all elections. He was married in 1877 to Kate, elder daughter of Rev. W. S. Ball, of Knox Church in Guelph. She predeceased him in June 1916. Two sons survive, Douglas, a barrister, of Edmonton; and Gordon, an accountant in the Bank of Commerce in Guelph, with whom he resided at the parental home, 40 Spring Street, since 1916. The funeral, from his residence on Tuesday at 3 to Guelph Cemetery, was largely attended. The service was conducted by Rev. H. E. Abraham of St. Andrew’s Church. A large representation from the legal fraternity of the city and out of town relatives present were: George Ball of Toronto; Mr. A. S. Ball and Miss Bessie Ball of Woodstock; Joseph ...(line illegible) ... and A. A. McTavish of Parkhill; Neil Stewart, Mr. and Mrs. H. Stewart and Miss Stewart of Morriston. Pallbearers: J. M. Duff, Col D. McCrae, Col. John Davidson, Joseph Brown, J. I. McIntosh and Nicol Jeffrey. --- Information from the death certificate: Born in Scotland in 1843. --- Information from the marriage certificate: Son of Neil MacLean and Mary McKenzie. | McLean, Kenneth (I10468)
|
| 5110 | MACLEAN, RODERICK At Los Angeles, CA, on the 26th August 1911. Brother of Kenneth MacLean of Guelph. Puslinch was his native place. He studied law in Guelph, went west to Manitoba about thirty years ago and from there to Vancouver, BC, where he resided for the last few years. His health failed last winter and he went to Los Angeles. He had a stroke of paralysis about the end of July, which finally resulted in his death. --- Son of Neil MacLean and Mary McKenzie. | McLean, Roderick (I10475)

| 5111 | MacOmash is an Anglicization of "mac Thomais" or "son of Thomas." The McOmash family around Callander were a cadet branch of the McFarlanes. | McOmash-alias-McFarlane, Janet (I27213)

| 5112 | Madog used the civil war taking place in England to encroach upon the eastern border of England and to thwart the ambitions of Owain, Prince of Gwynedd. He was the last ruler of an undivided Powys and was praised by Welsh bards. | Maredydd, Madog ap (I9323)
|
| 5113 | Mae Angus grew up in Hamilton, Ontario. While attending Delta High School in Hamilton, She began dating the foorball quarterback from the rival Central High School, Pete Gow. These high school sweethearts later married and began their family in Hamilton. They later moved to Burlington, Ontario where they raised their two sons. Mae worked for a few years as a secretary. Like the rest of her family, Mae was an avid card player, especially bridge. Card playing seems to be in the Angus blood. If you were ever fisting the God household and inquired after a deck of dards, they had decks stored in every room of the house, and could quickly come up with a couple of dozen to choose from. Mae and Pete were also both avid golfers and curlers. | Angus, Ethel Mae (I189)

|
| 5117 | Maggie died at age 6 of inflamatory croup. Ontario birth registry gives her middle name as McFarlane. I have no record of a McFarlane ancestor. This is an interesting lead. Maggie appears in the 1881 census in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, as an infant with her parents and siblings. | Stewart, Maggie Ann McFarlane (I16714)
|
| 5118 | Maggie never married. She inherited her father's estate. In 1911 she is shown living with her mother at 75 Clincart Rd, Langside, Glasgow. | Stewart, Margaret Stewart Dewar (I16928)

Because of this victory the image of a caltrap became part of the Drummond heraldic crest. | Drummond, Sir Malcolm 10th of that Ilk (I4850)
|
| 5122 | Malcolm Grey's transcription incorrectly shows Catherine's birth as 17 Apr 1750 and baptism as 21 Apr 1750. But it is recorded among baptisms from 1758. ScotlandsPeople shows the correct dates of 19/21 Apr 1758. | Stewart, Catherine (I15054)

|
| 5124 | Malcolm Stewart was born 14 May 1820 in Auchtowmore, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, as a younger son of John Stewart in Tulloch and Christian McIntyre.

|
| 5127 | Malcolm, b. in Scot., was 10 years old when he came to Puslinch with his parents in 1831. He early acquired pioneer habits, as we find he built one of the corners of the first log church (now Duff's) in 1835, being at the time between 14 and 15 years of age in evidence of his handiness with the axe. He worked with his father to get ready money, and made shingles for which he received $1 per thousand. In 1841 he purchased 93 acres, rear lot 23, Gore of Puslinch, from Capt. De Grassi, at $4 per acre, cleared it, and later bought front of lot 33, and later again, bought 35 acres, lot 34, front of con. 7. He has never held municipal office, but was Trustee S.S.
