 #   Notes   Linked to 
5101 No birth record has been found for William, but his marriage record gives his parents as "Henry Hertsell and Margaret Furler". Hartsell, William Henry (I7652)
 
5102 No birth record has yet been found for Robert. He was the only known son of Duncan Stewart in Lochearnheard. According to Stewarts of the South, Robert was (relatively closely) related to Donald Stewart in Keip, however their exact relation is not given. It is unlikely that they were brothers, so, in the absence of other evidence they are presently shown as first cousins.

Robert was once the innkeeper at Lochearnhead. He died prior to the writing of Stewarts of the South, ca.1815-20 and according to Stewarts of the South he "left two sons (who were) tacksmen of Ruinacraig, Strathyre, in Balquhidder on Cambusmore's estate." Robert Stewart married on 11 JUL 1771 in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland to Anna/Agnes (Una) McNab (her name is recorded all three ways.) 
Stewart, Robert in Lochearnhead (I18173)
 
5103 no children Stuart, Right Hon. Sir Robert (I18747)
 
5104 No children. Goldie, James Alec (I6946)
 
5105 No children. Thornton, Margaret Pearl (I19382)
 
5106 No corresponding birth record has been found in the Callander OPR. Walter is cited in the will of his uncle James Stewart, 5th of Edraleachdach, in which he is described as "Walter Stewart...[a son to] my sister Margaret Stewart, residing in Callander" in which an allowance is to be given for his life sustenance. Walter is believed to be found in the 1861 census residing with his mother at 20 Main Street (Star Hotel) in Callander, age 17, incorrectly identified as "William Stewart" and shown with "no occupation (of weak mind)." A caution must be noted in that the Callander OPR shows a William Stewart b 17 MAY 1844 in Callander town, son of John Stewart and Margaret MacIntyre. Stewart, Walter (I18361)
 
5107 No documentary evidence has been found to show any son named Alexander. He is suggested for onomastics only. If he existed at all then he likely died young. Stewart, Alexander? (I14831)
 
5108 No documentary evidence has been found to support the existence of this Colin. He is suggested by onomastics only. If he existed at all then it is suggested that he likely died young. McNaughtan, Colin (I10607)
 
5109 No documentary evidence has been found to verify the existence of "Donald". He is suggested by onomastic evidence only. It is suggested by the known information about this sons, that "Donald" was probably a tacksman of Dreppan. Stewart, Donald? (I15704)
 
5110 No evidence has been found for the existence of this Robert. He is suggested by onomastics only. As he is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South, he is presumed to have died young, if he existed at all. Stewart, Robert (I17977)
 
5111 No father's name is given on Lilly's birth registration. She is found in 1901 residing with her mother, Elizabeth, and her grandparents, John and Eliza Brown. Her mother died in 1903 leaving Lilly orphaned at age 9. She lived with her uncle Charles afterwards. In 1911 she is found living with her uncle Charles Brown. In 1912 she travelled to Holyoke, Massachussetts, USA, in the care of her uncle, James Wright, to stay with her aunt Kate Schoen. Brown, Lilly (I21126)
 
5112 No IGI record has been found for his birth. The only Francis Gordon in all of Scotland b 1834 appearing in the 1841 census is residing with the family of Rev. John Gordon in Speymouth, Moray, Scotland. Perhaps Francis' parents died young and he was raised by an uncle. Gordon, Francis (I6925)
 
5113 No known descendants. Ord, Agnes (I12080)
 
5114 No known relation to other Browns in this tree. Brown, Florence Agatha (I20725)
 
5115 No marriage record can be found for Ten's parents. LDS birth records are contradictory on dates. It may be that there is a generation missing here, or it may be that Ten was illegitimate. Fonda, Ten Eyck Hilton (I6145)
 
5116 No marriage record has been found for Andrew and Kathrine. Andrew is recorded in Stewarts of the South as a descendant of Gartnafuaran Branch VI - Stewarts in Coile Mor. Andrew is described as: "Andrew Stewart, late weaver and crofter [in] Craigoughty near the Kirkton of Aberfoil, who left [one son], Andrew [sic - "Alexander"], a weaver in the same place [who is] unmarried."

Several possible birth record matches have been found -- too many to confidently recommend one. 
Stewart, Andrew (I15181)
 
5117 No marriage record has been found for Catherine Stewart and Duncan McIntyre, however their children's marriage records confirm that her maiden name was Stewart and she is found in three census records residing with her sister Margaret who is shown correctly as born in Argyllshire, Scotland.

In 1851, at age 33, Catherine McIntyre was residing in Horton, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada, with her husband, Duncan McIntyre (39), and their children, John (6), Mary (4), Rachel (3), Robert (1). Also residing with them is her sister Margaret Stewart (22), born in Argyll, Scotland. Also, in 1851, at age 33, Catherine McIntyre was found residing in Renfrew, Ontario, Canada, in the home of her brother-in-law, Gregor McIntyre, and his mother Rachel McInytre (nee McGregor). Presumably she was visiting on the day of the census and was recorded in both places.

In 1861, at age 42, Catherine McIntyre was residing in Horton, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada, with her husband Duncan McIntyre (48) and their children John (15), Mary (14), Rachel (12), Robert (10), Duncan (6), and Margaret (3).

In 1871, at age 53, Catherine McIntyre was residing in Horton, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada, with her husband Duncan McIntyre (57) and their children, John McIntyre (26), Mary McIntyre (24), Rachael McIntyre (22), Robert McIntyre (20), Duncan McIntyre (15), and Margaret McIntyre (13). Also residing with them was her sister, Margaret Stewart (30).

In 1881, at age 63, Catherine McIntyre was residing in Horton, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada, with her husband, Duncan McIntyre (68), and their son, Duncan McIntyre (23). Also residing with them was Catherine's sister, Margaret Stewart (52). 
Stewart, Cathrine (I15372)
 
5118 No marriage record has been found for this couple. Dawson, Abraham (I3837)
 
5119 No marriage record has been found for William Hutton. It is not known if his son, William Jr., was illegitimate. As such, it is not known if William Sr. died shortly after the birth of his son or merely had no role in the raising of him. Hutton, William (I24135)
 
5120 No marriage record has been found. Frustratingly, Margaret's death record gives her parents names as "___ Stewart and ____ Stewart." Stewart, Margaret (I17555)
 
5121 No match for Ann's birth has been found anywhere in Scotland. Stewart, Ann (I26271)
 
5122 No match for Robina's birth has been found anywhere in Scotland. Stewart, Robina (I26269)
 
5123 No match has been found for Joan's birth anywhere in Scotland. Stewart, Joan (I26270)
 
5124 No one called him "James." His family called him "Leo" and his friends called him "Red" because of his hair color. Mercier, James Leo "Red" (I20616)
 
5125 No photo exists of Job Tasker. He was killed tragically in a wind storm in Merlin, Co. He went out to secure the barn door. The wind caught the door, which hit him on the head. His daughter Win recalls that he was killed instantly. She was about 8 years old when this happened. However, his death certificate indicates he lingered for ten days before dying. Attending physician was John C. Bell of Merlin. Death certificate also indicates that he was born on the same farm that he died on. Tasker, Job (I19011)
 
5126 No reasonable contenders for a marriage for Ann can be identified in the IGI. Perhaps she never married. Stewart, Ann (I15191)
 
5127 No record has been found of Allan's birth. His date of birth shown here comes from unverified online sources. It seems likely that it was extrapolated from his given age at death, but that could be off by a couple of years. Biographies of his son, The Hon. Sir Allan Napier MacNab of Dundurn Castle, show Lt. Allan MacNab as being born in England and say only that he was descended from the MacNabs of Dundurn, Perthshire. Some give his father's name as Robert. As Robert MacNab was 2nd of Dundurn then there isn't much margin for error here so we can be confident that Robert MacNab, 2nd of Dundurn, was Allan's father.

In a letter from Dr. John Stewart, younger of Ardvorlich, in 1780, to his brother, William Stewart, 8th of Ardvorlich, uncles to Allan MacNab, he writes, "I hope my brother, Mr. McNab, and sister are well. I shall write you and him long letters next week when I hope my mind will be a little more at ease. I send with this a letter from Allan, who is really a promising boy." The letter was written at London, England, 24 October 1780. (Stewart, John, of Ardvorlich, The Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Vol. 2., p. 35.) However, in a later letter from William to John, William says, "I forgot whether I mentioned their names to you or not. Archy and Annie, you knew. The other three, I think, were born after you left the country. They are, Elizabeth, born in '79, James in 1780, and Margaret born in Jany 1784. about six weeks or two months before his ['Robert's] death." There is no mention of Allan.

The Comrie OPR shows the marriage of Robert MacNab, 2nd of Dundurn, to Jean Stewart of Ardvorlich and shows the baptisms of their six younger childrenm. but there is no birth registration for Allan. If Allan's year of birth is correct then he was born three years prior to the marriage of his parents. No record of any previous marriage has been found so it would appear that Allan may have been illegitimate. Burke's Landed Gentry (LG19 I:951) gives Allan's mother as "Mary Stuart" with no further information on her. Some unverified on-line genealogies show Mary Stuart as a descendant of the Stuarts of Ardgowan, but we have found no evidence to support this claim. ElectricScotland shows Allan McNab's mother as Jean Stewart of Ardvorlich, but gives no evidence to support its claim either.

Allan MacNab was a Lieutenant and served in the 3rd Dragoons, the 71st Highland Light Infantry, and the (Loyalist) Queen's Rangers. Allan immigrated to Newark, Ontario, Canada (then the capital of the province of Upper Canada and presently known as Niagara-on-the-Lake) where he served as the principal aide-de-camp to General Simcoe, 1st Governor of Upper Canada, and commander of the Queen's Rangers. Just prior to 1812, Simcoe disbanded the Queen's Rangers and moved his capital from Newark to "Muddy" York, Upper Canada (present-day Toronto, Ontario, Canada). The MacNab family moved with Simcoe to York.

The Dictionary of Canadian Biography says the following about Allan MacNab:
Allan Napier MacNab’s father had been a lieutenant in John Graves Simcoe’s 2nd corps of Queen’s Rangers which saw action in the American revolution. Put on half pay, he settled in York (Toronto) where he was denied further military preferment and a high civil placement. A sometimes bankrupt Allan MacNab struggled on the fringe of Upper Canada’s Tory society.

Marion MacRae's MacNab of Dundurn (1971), says "John, fifteenth Chief of MacNab, supported the House of Hanover, but an old Clan history states that many MacNabs fought for Prince Charles Edward under the leadership of cadet cheiftains, one of whom was Allan MacNab of Dundurn. The same history records that at this time, one of the MacNab ladies of Kinnell, that is of the chielfly family -- married MacNab of Dundurn."

MacRae later states that this Allan MacNab was the father of Capt. Robert MacNab of Dundurn, who "was writing letters to Colonel Archibald MacNab, brother of John, fifteenth Chief, whom he addressed as his uncle, and informing him that he had sent money to "the boy" in Canada. This Allan is "the boy."
 
MacNab, Lt. Allan (I9310)
 
5128 No record has been found of his birth. His suggested birthdate is a best guess.

Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "Alexander Stewart, 12th of Glenbucky, succeeded his brother and sold the lands of Glenbucky to his brother-in-law, John Stewart of Benmore. He died of consumption with no children."

John Stewart, 2nd of Benmore, was not only brother-in-law to Alexander Stewart, 12th of Glenbuckie, but they were also 3rd cousins, through the marriage of John Stewart, 9th of Glenbuckie, to Janet Stewart of Ardsheal.

Alexander's older brother, Duncan, died sometime between 1752-1756, at which time Alexander inherited Glenbuckie. We do not know exactly when.

John Stewart of Benmore sold Benmore on 6 Mar 1756 and purchased Glenbuckie from Alexander presumably immedately following. That tells us that Alexander was still alive at that point but probably didn't live much longer. 
Stewart, Alexander 12th of Glenbuckie (I14928)
 
5129 No record has been found of John's birth, however his parents were fined in 1791 for an earlier clandestine marriage. They were residing at Lochearnhead, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland at the time. John's year of birth is calculated from his age at time of death. His location at birth is suggested to be Lochearnhead where his parents resided in 1791.

According to Cameron family records, Catherine Stewart, daughter of Donald Stewart and Isobel McGregor, married Duncan Cameron, and were the parents of John Cameron who married Helen Ferguson of Kipp, Balquhidder, and had nine children born at Glenbeich, Balquhidder. Documentary evidence is lacking to support the Cameron/Stewart connection, however the claim seems probably true. The Stewarts were from Dalveich, next door to Glenbeich, and multiple autosomal DNA connections exist between descendants of the Camerons and this Dalveich line. The Camerons immigrated to Canada in 1831. Research has eliminated the possibility of a marital connection between these families post-immigration, thus the connection must earlier than John Cameron and Helen Ferguson. Thus the connection suggested here, though not proven, becomes more than plausible, in fact probable.

However, the far more likely marriage for John's parents is the following which is a perfect onomastic match and chlose chronologically:
"1777, Decr 26th, Contracted Hugh Cameron in the parish of Killin and Margaret Stewart in this parish. dues 3 sh ster." (Balquhidder OPR)

In 1851, John's family was residing in Caledon, Peel, Ontario, Canada, without him as he died three years prior. In the house was
Widow Cameron, 64, Scotland, Baptist
Hugh Cameron, 36, Scotland, Baptist
Donald Cameron, 29, Scotland, Baptist
James Cameron, 26, Scotland, Baptist
Mary Stewart, 20, Canada, Free Church

Nearby is
Duncan Cameron, 34, Scotland, Baptist, Farmer
Catherine Cameron, 23, Scotland, Baptist
Eleanor Cameron, 6, Canada
Catherine Cameron, 4, Canada
Mary Cameron, 2, Canada

Donald McFarlane, 50, Scotland, Church of Scotland, Farmer
Isabel McFarlane, 57, ditto
Mary McFarlane, 45, ditto 
Cameron, John (I22918)
 
5130 No record has been found of John's birth. It is estimated to have been around 1705 and presumably occurred at his family's estate of Annat, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland.

Duncan Stewart (1739), a contemporary of John Stewart, says, "Alexander, now of Annat, married Isabel Fullerton, daughter to Mr John Fullerton of Greenhall, Bishop of Edinburgh, by whom he had John, his son and heir, Duncan, a surgeon, who died in the East Indies, and several daughters."

MacGregor says, "John Stewart, 5th of Annat, succeeded his father although his lands being heavily burdened by debts, he mortgaged them to William Wilson, Writer at Murrayshall, from whom they were redeemed on 3 January 1763, and afterwards disponed to his cousin David Stewart of Ballachallan. He served in the Perthshire Horse of the Jacobite army of 1745/46 and is generally believed to have [died without children]."

John's rank in the Jacobite army is not known. Strathallan's Perthshire Horse, in which John served, was lled by William Drummond, 4th Viscount Strathallan. It was the Jacobite army's first cavalry unit, consisting of 36 gentlemen and their servants, including John Stewart of Annat. Their main role was to scout ahead of the army as it advanced into the Lowlands. Strathallan is located southwest of Kilmadock parish, encompassing the lands around Dunblane and Bridge of Allan.

Following the end of the Jacobite Risings, James Stewart of the Glen, the accused in the Appin Murder, travelled through Kilmadock on route to the trial and stayed at the homes of prominant Jacobites, including John Stewart of Annat, who was later called upon as a witness in the Appin Murder trial. "James Stewart [of the Glen] stopped for the night at Lanrick.... He slept the next night at the neighbouring house of Annat, a little to the north of Doune, where he was the guest of his Stewart clansman. The Stewarts of Annat were loyal supporters of their Royal namesakes. Probably it was John Stewart, the son of the house, who was James' host, as John had to appear subsequently at the trial as a witness, although he was not called to give evidence." (Morris, Robert Louis Stevenson and the Highlanders, p. 101.)

Stewarts of the South describes John as, "The last of them was a great drunkard, but was very mindful of his two sisters to see them in Stirling for they were much supported by Gen. [General] Stewart of Boblach [Powblack] (a.k.a. General Robert Stuart of Rait) and by the profits of a tack they had of the farm of Offrans of the forfeited estate of Perth, now Sir Patrick Murray’s property."

Stewarts of the South also mistakenly credits the sale of Annat to John's father, Alexander: "Alexander Stewart of Annat sold the estate to David Stewart of Balchallan." When it was, in fact, this John who sold the estate.

Copy Instrument of Sasine in favour of John Stewart fifth of Annat dated 16 June and recorded in the particular Register of Sasines at Perth on 15th August 1752 proceeding upon his possession of said lands by the said last mentioned Alexander Stewart fourth of Annat in favour of the said John Stewart his son in fee dated December 1751. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) 
Stewart, John 5th of Annat (I17155)
 
5131 No record has been found of William's birth in Ireland.

Possibly residing in 1901 in Middlesex North, lodging with the Clemens family, working as a farm labourer, immig 1888. Possibly the same William Brown: William Brown, 29, Irish, toolmaker ~~~ engineer, and wife Jean Brown 27, entered Detroit, Mich, USA, MAR 1909, from Hamilton, ON, brother of Charles Brown of 29 Stinton St, Hamilton ON, bound for ~~~ Michigan. (no marriage record found) (Note: This is almost the exact same time that his suggested cousin, Robert Brown, moved to Detroit.)

The following birth fits for a possible second marriage for William's father, but would have made him a bigamist.
Name: William James Brown
Gender: Male
Birth Date: 8 Mar 1884
Birth Place: Wentworth, Ontario, Canada
Father: William Brown
Mother: Ellen Lillbourne 
Brown, William (I20738)
 
5132 No record of Alexander's birth has been found. As he was likely born a few years prior to his illegitimate sister, Catherine, it's most likely that Alexander was either illegitimate himself or the product of a prior marriage which has not been recorded.

Dr. Alexander Stewart is recorded in Stewarts of the South as a son of James Stewart in Inverlochlarig Mor and as:

"Alexander, [a] surgeon at Bo-ness in a respectable way, and who has a large family."

Bo'ness is in Midlothian. The Balquhidder OPR reveals a matching Alexander Stewart residing in Inverlochlarig Mor who has nine children including eight sons, which matches with the description in Stewarts of the South. However, the descendants of this family are found residing in Stank (another Glenogle clan holding) and have not been successfully traced to Bo'ness. If we have correctly accounted for this family then it would appear that Dr. Alexander Stewart did not move to Bo'ness until sometime between 1811 after his children were born and 1818-ish when Stewarts of the South was written. There is no trace of Dr. Alexander Stewart's descendants in Bo'ness in 1841 or 1851, thus it would seem that either Stewarts of the South is incorrect about him moving to Bo'ness or he wasn't there very long before his children returned to Balquhidder. 
Stewart, Dr. Alexander (I15098)
 
5133 No record of Alexander's birth has been found. Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions quotes Mrs. Stewart of Milton who recalled: "Alexander STEWART who had Auchnahard and left Glenfinglas was brother of John (grandfather of STEWART of Milton)." John Stewart of Milton was a grandson of John Ban Mor STEWART by his son Robert Ban Mor. Alexander would have left Glenfinglas ca 1745. This entry is noted in connection with the burial of Robert STEWART in Duart 1733-1818 of Gartnafuaran Branch IV and not in connection with the burial the Auchnahard Stewarts. Old Scots custom did not distinguish between "brother" and "brother-in-law". The term "brother" was was used for both. If "full brother" was intended then the term "brother german" was usually used. When the term "brother" was used it could refer to full brother, half-brother, or brother-in-law.

Callander parish records show the most likely candidate for this Alexander was one who married Beatrix Stewart and resided in Grodich and Auchnahard and possibly later in Bochastle.

It appears more likely that Beatrix Stewart was the one who was the child of James Stewart in Glen Finglas and not Alexander. In which case the "brother" reference above likely refers to "brother-in-law". However, just in case the reference was intended to mean "brother-german" then we will leave this Alexander here for reference. 
Stewart, Alexander (I14819)
 
5134 No record of her baptism has been found. Her husband Johannes had a mill bef. 1769 on Christman's Mill Creek in Herkimer Co., NY. They were alive as of 29 Apr. 1767. Feller, Margaretha (I5884)
 
5135 No record of James' birth has been found. Thus it cannot be said for certain that he is a son of John Gow and Elison Gould. James brother, John Gould Gow was born in Glasgow and resided in Kirkintilloch, Dunbartonshire and married James' wife's sister. Later census records show only one Gow family in Kirkintilloch. The children's names of Andrew and Elison are found in both families. After James died, his widow, Mary, and daughter Elison returned to Kirkintilloch for the remainder of their years. Gow, Benjamin James (I7005)
 
5136 No record of John's birth has been found. He is identified from the birth records of his children and his marriage record. John is not identified by name in Stewarts of the South but his four sons are clearly identified and correspond perfectly with the family shown here. Stewart, John in Dreppan (I17218)
 
5137 No record of John's existance has been found. He is suggested by onomastics only. He may be identical with the "Son" Stewart, shown here as his un-named brother. Stewart, John (I17032)
 
5138 No record of John's existence has been found. He is suggested by onomastic evidence only. His son Peter, is recorded in Stewarts of the South as being a descendant of the second son of Walter nan Cliugh Stewart, but the intervening generations are unknown. Stewart, John? (I17342)
 
5139 No record of John's illegitimate birth has been found. The witnesses at John's wedding were: John Graham, Robert Stewart and [illegible] Graham. Dunn, John (I5314)
 
5140 No record of Robert's birth has been found in the Balquhidder OPR. Robert is described in Stewarts of the South as a brother to Peter Stewart above. Robert was the subject of a paternity trial in 1764 in which he was found guilty of fathering an illegitimate child with Margaret Fisher, his mother's house servant.

It is believed that he is the same Robert Stewart who married on 28 JAN 1775 in Balquhidder and Kilmadock to Catharine STEWART, with Robert of Balquhidder parish and Catharine of Kilmadock parish and with children born in Lednascridan. (Not to be confused with another Robert and Catharine Stewart who were married in Balquhidder in 1788, but that Robert was from Kincardine parish.) 
Stewart, Robert (I18172)
 
5141 No record of Robert's existence has been found. He is suggested only for onomastic reasons. If he existed at all then it is suggested he died in childhood. McVean, Robert (I11177)
 
5142 No records have been found for Mark after his birth in Scotland, England, Canada, USA, or Australia. He is presumed to have died young. Ord, Mark (I12181)
 
5143 No viable match has been found for Janet's birth. Stewart, Jannet (I16839)
 
5144 No witnesses were listed at Robert's baptism. He is not mentioned on his parents' gravestone. His later whereabouts is unknown. Ferguson, Robert (I26040)
 
5145 Noble 6, b. at Pawlet, Vt., April 3, 1777.

He had real business ability and before his untimely end had established a very extensive business and was rapidly acquiring a fortune. The property which he left rehabilitated the fortunes of the family which had suffered from various causes dating from the destruction of Captain Stewart's Inn at Ticonderoga. Noble moreover was a man of high principle and from his letters one can see that he always acted from high motives. He possessed a magnificent voice and his singing made a sensation. Very old men, whose memories went back to his time, told his nephew, Ex-Governor Stewart, that for purity and beauty they had never heard a voice that approached it. He died unmarried at Middlebury, Vt., May 17, 18 14, from an attack of typhoid fever. (Severence) 
Stewart, Noble (I24395)
 
5146 Nolan is listed fourth among the children in his father's 1818 will:
"I also give and bequeath unto my son Nolan STEWART, fifty dollars, together with two negro girls, one named Mariah and one named Almira, to him and his heirs forever."

According to his daughter, Catherine's marriage announcement, Nolan was a Colonel and owner of a plantation in West Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA.

Nolan Stewart is mentioned in the following slave ads:

"Stewart, Captain John (dec'd owner) Twenty-four likely slaves and land belonging to John Stewart were to be sold by administrators William and Nolan Stewart on January 15, 1827." (Wilkinson Republican 12 Feb 1826)

"Stewart, Noland (former owner) See: Peter Conrod (reference unavailable) Note: The December 17, 1842 issue of the Republican recorded the marriage of Catherine Stewart, oldest daughter of Col. Nolan Stewart of West Baton Rouge. She was married to Alfred A. Williams of Woodville on December 15th by Rev. J. Woodbridge." (Wilkinson Republican) 
Stewart, Col. Nolan (Planter) (I17840)
 
5147 Nolan Stewart Dougherty, Baton Rouge, La., secretary of the state bureau of agriculture, was
born in St. Louis, Mo., in 1853, and is a son of John A. and Lucy (Stewart) Dougherty. The
father was a native of New York, and moved to St. Louis when that city was only a trading post.
Ramsey Crooks, the historic character of pioneer days was at that time the principal Indian
trader. John A. Dougherty afterward removed to New Orleans, and for some years was engaged in
mercantile pursuits. Subsequently he became a sugar planter in the parish of West Baton Rouge,
and moved to East Baton Rouge city where he died in October, 1890, at the advanced age of
eighty-one years. Lucy S. Dougherty was born in Amite county, Miss., but was taken to
Louisiana in her childhood by her father who was a sugar planter. She was the mother of seven
children, Nolan Stewart being the third born. He received an elementary education at the
Collegiate institute of Baton Rouge where Prof. W. H. N. Magruder was principal. The breaking
out of the Civil war seriously affected his opportunities of acquiring more than an ordinary
education, for when peace was finally declared it became necessary for him to turn his
attention to pursuits that promised some immediate revenue and to assist in the support of his
parents and the younger children of the family. He was admitted to the commission house of
William Garig, the largest concern of the kind in the city. end served the interests of his
employers for five years. At the end of that time he left this institution to engage in the
industry of sugar planting, which was very promising. For five years he was devoted to this
enterprise, and was then called home at the death of his brother to assist in the care of the
family estate. Mr. Dougherty was united in marriage in 1881 to Miss Lillie McConnell, and four
children have been horn to them. Mr. Dougherty has been a prominent factor in every movement
which has had for its object the advance of the country. He was one of the leading spirit. in
the first agricultural fair in 1887, and was elected director general of the state fair in
1888. He lives on a farm and gives his time and attention to agricultural pursuits. He is a
democrat and is a member of the Farmers' alliance. He is secretary of the Central Louisiana
Agricultural association. Since the death of his father he has assumed control of his mother's
property near the city. Ever alive to the best interests of the city, Mr. Dougherty has been
actively engaged in negotiations with gentlemen representing a large capital, who are making
estimates upon the erection of a central sugar factory near Baton Rouge; such an industry would
be an incalculable benefit to the community, and especially to the farming element. 
Dougherty, Nolan Stewart (I23901)
 
5148 NORAH HEARTY OBITUARY
