| 5206 | Obit: "A man of high ideals, Don was an active unionist and a dedicated socialist. His sudden passing is a distinct loss to the movement and to all with whom he came in contact." Don was an active member of the CCF party. The home was a popular place for socialist politicians and activists. In 1940 during the Westinghouse strike a neighbouring house was vandalized and painted with "SCAB". Because of Don's politics and proximity he was arrested on suspicion, but later released. | Ellis, Donald Percy (I5614)

| 5207 | Obit: BLACK, JAMES Death of An Old Resident On Sunday, May 9, 1886, in Aberfoyle, one of the pioneers of Puslinch, James Black, died at the advanced age of 88 years. He was one of the early settlers in this section and had to undergo all the hardships and privations incident to a pioneer life. He entered Puslinch when it was a wilderness in the year 1832, together with his wife, and the late Duncan Stewart, his brother-in- law. They took up lot 15, 8th concession, each of the gentlemen clearing 50 acres which they afterwards exchanged for larger farms, Mr. Black taking lot 18 and Mr. Stewart, lot 17 on the 9th concession. Again Mr. Black had to encounter the hardships previously spoken of. In these days Mr. Black and his wife and Mr. Stewart and his wife, when travelling facilities were nothing like what they are now - thought nothing of walking seven miles to Guelph to attend religious services in the Presbyterian church which was then situated near where the market buildings now stand, the late Rev. Mr. Smith then being the minister. Mr. Black was well known and highly respected in the section. He was a native of Ayrshire (sic - Argyllshire), Scotland. He leaves his widow, 82 years of age and a grown up family, namely: James Black of Aberfoyle, John of Marden, Pete, near Port Elgin, Charles who resides at home and also the eldest daughter, Margaret, Mrs. Dunlop of Kincardine and Mrs. Patmore of Harriston, together with several grandchildren. The funeral took place on Tuesday to the East church burying ground, Puslinch and was largely attended. Mr. Black had been in ill health for the past three years and his death was not unlooked for. | Black, James (I1033)

| 5210 | OBITUARY MCNAUGHTON, PETER In Puslinch on Friday, June 18,1852, aged 74. He was one of the earliest settlers of Puslinch, having moved into the township when it was a dense wilderness. He was much respected by his fellow settlers as an upright, honest neighbour and a sincere and consistent Christian, having held the office of elder in the Presbyterian congregation of Puslinch since its first formation. It is not known why Peter and his family came to Canada. McNAUGHTON, Peter (d.), was b. about two miles from Doon, Perthshire, Scot (sic). He has been overseer for Blair Drummond on his Kirkline Estate, and previously a tailor by trade, and was above the average in education. He came to Canada in 1831, bringing his family with him. They were 31 days crossing from Greenock to New York, and came to Puslinch via Erie Canal, Lewiston, and Toronto. He bought front lot 26, con. 7, which he cleared and lived upon until his death. He never held office of any kind, was a Presbyterian, and a Liberal. He m. Janet McLeod. (Wellington County Historical Atlas 1906) Family tradition accords that Peter was born two miles from Doune, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland and worked as the overseer of Kirkline Flander's Moss on the Blair Drummond estate (which is about two miles from Doune). No corresponding birth record has been found. However it would appear that too much has been read into this tradition. It appears that Peter lived his later life two miles from Doune and that the family tradition has been extrapolated to include his birth. Blair Drummond did not begin to develop The Moss until the late 18th century. Many of the Moss farmers were drawn from the southern Highland areas of Perthshire. As Peter was probably born about the same time as The Moss was being developed then it's unlikely he was actually born there. It's far more likely that he was born elsewhere and that his parents moved to Blair Drummond when Peter was just a boy. Recent research has uncovered an 1814 census of The Blair Drummond Moss, which shows Peter's family as follows: Residence: #28 Kirk Lane Former Possessor: Peter McNaughton Present Possessor: Peter McNaughton, 35 years, Isobel (sic) McLeod, 32 years Children: John, 9 yrs Angus, 8 yrs Peter, 6 yrs Donald, 4 yrs Jean, 2 yrs No. Males - 5, No. Females - 2 No. Deceased - 0 Total; = 7 Years Settled in the Moss: 10 years Where they came from: Breadalbine Livestock: 1 Cats, 2 Chickens, 1 Cow Despite the error in Peter's wife's name, there is no question this is the same family as presented further below. This record, taken from the estate records of Blair Drummond, would seem to indicate that Peter came from Breadalbane about 1804. Peter tavelled on the ship, Commodore Prebble, on 2 Jun 1831 from Greenock, Scotland to New York City. His family is shown as: Peter McNaughton, age 50 Mark McNaughton, age 45 (male, so not a clerical error for his wife, presumably a brother. Mark is not a Highland name and could be a by-name for Malcolm. B abt 1776) John McNaughton, age 27 Peter McNaughton, age 27 Hugh McNaughton, age 27 Jean McNaughton, age 24 Janet McNaughton, age 17 Malcolm McNaughton, age 11 Alexander McNaughton, age 9 Janet McNaughton, age 2 (presumably a granddaughter) (Conspicuously absent are Peter's wife, Janet, and their sons, Angus and Donald. Later census records indicate that Angus may have remained in Scotland. They may have immigrated later.) Online sources give Peter's birth family as: John McNaughtan and Janet Anderson with children coming from Killin Christian McNaughtan, b 1760 in Breadalbane, Perthshire, Scotland Kathrine McNaughtan, b 1763 in Breadalbane, Perthshire, Scotland Elizabeth McNaughtan, b 23 Jan 1772 in Kenmore, Perthshire, Scotland Daniel McNaughtan, b 1773 in Breadalbane, Perthshire, Scotland Janet McNaughtan, b 1773 in Breadalbane, Perthshire, Scotland NN McNaughtan, b 23 May 1773 in Kenmore, Perthshire, Scotland Angus McNaughtan, b 1775 in Breadalbane, Perthshire, Scotland Peter, b 1778 in Breadalbane, Perthshire, Scotland However this family has now been discovered in a Passenger record for 1775 immigrating to New York with infant Peter already born. It seems unlikely that Peter would have immigrated with his family in 1775 to New York and then returned to Scotland to have a family there and immigrate a second time in 1831. Thus, it appears this is NOT his birth family. | McNaughton, Peter (I10925)

| 5211 | Obituary (The World's News, Syndey, NSW, Australia, 7 Oct 1916) A Man of Infinite Variety Mr. Edwin J. Welch, whose exploring, early Australian, and old-time naval articles under the initials E.J.W. have delighted the readers of "The World's News" for so many years, passed away at his residence, Petersham (N.S.W.)., on Sunday afternoon, September 24. This announcement is made, as it will undoubtedly be received, with unfeigned regret. The cause of death was heart failure, and Mr. Welch died, as he himself often hoped he would, in harness and in full possession of all his faculties. On the Saturday night he finished the ar- ticle, "A Model Explorer,'' which appears on page 10 of this issue, and it is fitting that the article should be one on exploration, because it was in that particular work that Mr. Welch achieved his greatest distinction. The Relief Expedition sent in search of the Burke and Wills party was commanded by Mr. A.W. Howitt (afterwards Dr. Howitt), and he chose Mr. Welch as his second-in-command, surveyor,and photographer. Just prior to that Mr. Welch had served in the Melbourne Observatory. When the Howitt party got to work Mr. Welch was one day searching ahead of the main body and discovered King, who proved to be the sole survivor of that ill-fated ex- pedition, lying in the sand in the bed of a creek. Three or four friendly blacks were looking after the man, whose emaciated form showed the sufferings he had under- gone. It was thus that Mr. Welch found King, as he described in an article in "The World's News" of October 15, 1910, and Dr. Howitt in his official report gave his second-in-com- mand the whole credit for the discovery. Unfortunately, the negatives of the photo- graphs taken were spoilt by a too-eager Committee-man exposing them to the light before they had been fixed. It was Mr. Welch who brought King back to Melbourne, and that memorable journey he graphically described in the special article already men- tioned. Mr. Welch came of a naval family. His father was Captain David Welch, R.N., who was wounded on the famous flagship Victory (on which Lord Nelson died at Trafalgar), and subsequently became commander of that historic vessel at Portsmouth. Mr. Welch was born at Falmouth, Cornwall, in 1838, educated at the Bluecoat School, and at the Royal Naval School, Greenwich. He entered the Royal Navy as a cadet in 1853, and whilst still in his teens saw active service with Sir Charles Napier during the Crimean War. Young Welch was present at the destruction of Hango Head forts and at the bombardment and capture of' Bomarsund. In 1855-6 he was in the Crimea, assisted at the bombardment of Kertch, and was present at the capture of Sebastopol. He cherished the three medals with the Sebastopol clasp up to the last. When peace was declared he came to Australia, attracted like thou- sands of others by the gold fever. But he did not find it in chunks as he expected, and his narratives of digging experiences and the many and varied sides of human nature he saw on the diggings have been the sub- ject of many brilliant and amusing ar- ticles in these columns. Afterwards he did survey work in Queens- land, where he had charge of very impor- tant telegraph lines, and was warmly com- plimented by the authorities on the ex- cellence of the work he did. But the lure of the pen proved too strong. The spell of the printing press was upon him, and he became proprietor of a country news- paper in Queensland. This he ran most successfully, as he did others afterwards, and he ran them with all the dash and virility for which he was famous. He turned neither to the right nor the left, but kept on unflinchingly with the policy of straightforwardness, which he had laid out for himself. He wielded a strong and caus- tic pen, and naturally made enemies as well as friends-but the friends were in the vast majority and loved and respected him right up to the day of his death. As a conversationalist, Mr. Welch had few equals. As a story-teller he was inimit- able, and his knowledge of Australia was without limit. The trouble was that he could never be induced to talk much of himself and his varied career. But when he did he held the listeners spell-bound. Even if he had pronounced views on a var- iety of subjects, he was always tolerant to- wards opponents, and as a friend he was warm-hearted and true. No man ever fitted more truly the admirable lines of Tennyson:- "And thus he bore without abuse The grand old name of gentleman." Subsequently Mr. Welch continued his journalistic career in Sydney, serving on the staff of the "Evening News," the "Bulletin," and the "Echo." Later he edited the "Photographic Review," and af- terwards became attached to "The World's News," continuing in that service to the very end. His articles were warmly wel- comed, and some day those on exploration will be found sufficiently valuable to put in more permanent form. He had great gifts as a writer of serial stories, a strong grip on dramatic and thrilling situations, and a fine and varied knowledge of Australian men and things. Three of these stories ap- peared in our pages. "Dinky Darbison," "The Official Outlaw," and "Cressy Bend," and just prior to his death he finished a very fine story, with the Burke and Wills expedition as its main theme. Mr. Welch's diary, which he faithfully kept during his exploration work, should become a priceless volume. In no other book, nor from any other source, can the invaluable material be obtained. He was laid to rest in the Wav- erley Cemetery in a spot overlooking the grey, old ocean he loved so well. To his friends, however, it does not seem that he has gone from them, nor can they find in their hearts to say farewell. Good-night! Though Life and all take flight Never good-bye. | Welch, Edwin James (I20034)

| 5215 | Obituary from The Stewart Clan Magazine, July 1942, vol. XX, no. 1, Tome D, page 284, written by the magazine's editor George Thomas Edson: INGLIS STUART, ENGINEER AND HISTORIAN, DIES IN 84TH YEAR Descended from Scotland's noblest families, and himself one of America's noblest men, Inglis Stuart died May 16, 1942, at "Roseneath," Beacon-on-Hudson, New York. He was never married, and his closest kin are nephews, nieces and cousins. He was born Mar. 24, 1859, at Willow Tree, N. Y., son of Homer Hine and Margaret E. (Dubar) Stuart. Homer Hine Stuart was a son of Aaron and grandson of Capt. John Stewart of Colrain, Mass. Capt. John was a son of Samuel [sic -- James, whose widow Alice afterwards married James' brother Samuel] and grandson of John Stewart, one of the first settlers of Londonderry, N. H. John was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1682, son of Robert and Janette (Forsyth) Stewart and grandson of Walter Stewart of Perthshire, Scotland. This genealogy was published in 1909 [sic - 1905] in a now rare little book called Genealogy of the Stewarts of Londonderry, N. H., by B. Frank Severance of Shelburne, Mass., largely financed by Inglis Stuart. Mr. Stuart's father was prominent in New York state political, literary and financial circles and numbered among his acquaintances many of the famous people of his era. Inglis became a civil engineer, and had a part in much of the railroad organization and construction in the era of great expansio, 1874-1900. The town of Stuart, Fla., was named for him and his brother, the late Homer Hine Stuart of Philadelphia. For the past fifty years his residence was "Roseneath," a palatial home on the Hudson river. He had various interests, and traveled a great deal. His acquaintance was wide, and his friendships many. He had a remarkable mind, a great store of knowledge and a kindly humor. He was among the very first subscribers to The Stewart Clan Magazine, and he very materially promoted the gathering of records, old maps, books and material. He was truly our friend. As long as our labors continue, remember that his impulse and his influence are in them. Contributor: Jared Olar | Stuart, Inglis (I24392)

Later that same year, Oliver married in Bradford, Yorkshire, England to 20-year-old Edith Archer. On 8 Mar 1915, Oliver Angus enlisted for service in the British Army. Private Oliver Angus was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, Prince of Wales own West Yorkshire Regiment. On 6 Dec 1915, Oliver was deployed to the Mediterranean. On 7 Mar 1916, Oliver was deployed to France, where on 1 Jul 1916, he received a shrapnel wound to the abdomen and spent 83 days in hospital. He was sent home to England to recover. On 9 Nov 1916, Oliver Angus was disciplined for overstaying his pass (presumably at home in England, but the record is unclear.) He was docked 7 days' pay and assigned three days of "CB." On the next day, 10 Nov 1916, Oliver was redeployed to France. On 19 Nov 1918, Oliver was deployed to Germany, where on 8 Dec 1918, he was reported as a prisoner of war.

| 5230 | Oliver's family are found in 1851 residing at Duns Castle, Wolsingham, Durham, England. Jane is shown as a widow. Jane was only 17 when her first child was born. This family is not found in the 1861 or later census records and are presumed to have emigrated. As Hugh and Oliver (jr) are not found in the 1880/81 census records for the UK, USA, or Canada, then, if they immigrated, it is presumed to be other than to North America -- perhaps Australia. | Dawson, Oliver (I3964)

| 5232 | On 1 Jan 1786, William Angus was born in Quarmore (Quernmore), Lancashire, England. His birth registration indicates that he was the illegitimate child of Mary Angus, a poor woman. On 15 May 1826, at age 40, William Angus is believed to have married in Fewston, Yorkshire, England to Mary Ann Martin. This marriage is not confirmed. Fewston is about 80 km (50 mi.) east of Quernmore/Quarmore, Lancashire. The bride and groom were recorded as both being "of this parish." In 1841, at age 50, William Angus was residing on Nelson Street in Otley, Yorkshire, England with his wife Mary Ann and their children, Margaret, John, William, Jane, Mary Ann, and Ellen. William was employed as a stonewaller and born outside the county. Otley is about 5 km (3 mi.) south of Fewston. In 1851, at age 70, William Angus was residing at 38 Craven Street in Bradford, Yorkshire, England (about 15 km south of Otley), with his wife Mary Ann, who was born in Durham City, and their children, John, William, Jane, Maryann, Ellen and James. William was employed as a day stonewaller and born in Wannerpark, Lancashire, England. Bradford is about 15 km south of Otley. No such place as Wannerpark has been found. As this is a census record, the name would be based on the recollection of the person giving the census data and recorded as best the enumerator could understand it. Thus, it's believed to be a corruption of Quarmore. There is no other contemporary William Angus in Lancashire known to exist who could be a match for the William Angus in Yorkshire. DNA would not be helpful as his father is unknown and his mother is too old for autosomal DNA to provide reliable matching data. On 14 Dec 1852, at age 68, William Angus was buried in St. Peter's Cathedral yard, in Bradford, Yorkshire, England. His estimated birth was 1784. In 1861, his widow, Mary Ann, was residing at 19 Beer House, Wapping Road, in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, with her children Ellen and James. They were residing next door to John Crowther. | Angus, William Sr. in Bradford (I42)

On 19 Jul 1911, at age 73, John Scott Stuart, died of heart disease. He was residing at 10 Pitt Street in Waterloo, NSW, Australia. He is identified as the son of James Stuart, farmer, and Margaret Scott. The informant was his son, James Stewart of the same address.

ALEXANDER STEWART, M.A., KILLIN (Died August 30, 1883) Author: Rev. Allan Sinclair, M.A., Kenmore Source: The Free Church Monthly, March 1, 1884, Biographical Notices, p.82 "Year by year our Disruption worthies are becoming fewer in number, and the venerable subject of the following brief notice is another of the noble band of men, so many of whom have “been gathered to their people.” "Mr. Stewart was born in 1811 at Ardbeich, in the parish of Comrie, on the banks of the beautiful and classic Loch Earn. His father and mother were of the Stewarts of Ardvoirlicb, an old Perthshire family that can trace its origin back to James, third son of Murdoch, Duke of Albany, Regent of Scotland, who died in 1425. When about six years of age his father removed to the parish of Balquhidder, where he rented a farm, and was well known for many years as a much-respected elder of the Church of Scotland. It was here, in the parish school, that the future minister received the rudiments of his education. Preparatory, however, to his entering college, he went to the school of Leecropt, near Stirling, then conducted by a teacher of eminence, to whom his pupil was wont to say he was much indebted for his own attainments in classical literature. Mr. Stewart was an accomplished classic, which invariably showeel itself in the ease, grace, and readiness with which he ever acquitted himself, whether at the examination of schools or of candidates for the ministry. He studied at the University of Glasgow, and one who was a class fellow of his at this period says: “We sat at the same desk, and he often surprised me by his aptitude for picking up anything new. I never met with any one who showed equal ability in arithmetic and mathematics.” "At the close of his divinity course, Mr. Stewart accepted a situation as tutor in the family of the late Dr. McLean of Rum; and it was while resident in this gentleman’s family that he was licensed to preach the gospel. Eager for ministerial usefulness, he soon thereafter accepted an invitation from the Presbytery of Paisley to become missionary to the Highlanders who in considerable numbers were engaged in the manufacturing and mining industries of that town and neighbourhood. He wrought in this field with diligence and acceptance for the space of two years, until the parish of Killin became vacant by the translation of Dr. Elder to Edinburgh, when the patron, the late Marquis of Breadalbane, made him an offer of it. He had another charge in his option-the parish of Balmaghie, in Kirkcudbrightshire, vacant by the translation of the late Dr. Brown to St. John’s, Glasgow; but his partiality for his native county and his love for Gaelic decided him in favour of Killin, where he was ordained in June 1839. Here he ministered to an attached people till laid aside from active duty by the illness of which he died, and which he bore with patience and resignation to the Master’s will till he entered into his rest. "Mr. Stewart was one of four ministers in the Presbytery of Weem-now the Presbytery of Breadalbane-who joined the Free Church in 1843, and the only one who resigned a parochial charge. He did a great deal towards building it up within the bounds of the Presbytery, and lived to see all the parishes supplied with ordinances in connection with his own Church. "Endowed with superior mental abilities, a cultured mind, a sound judgment, and a good presence, Mr. Stewart was a most attractive companion, numbering among intimate friends men such as the late Marquis of Breadalbane, Sir James Simpson, Bart., and others that might be named, who had for him a warm regard. To his brethren in the ministry he also greatly endeared himself by his affability, courtesy, and uniform Christian bearing towards them. "The autumn following his settlement at Killin Mr. Stewart was married to Miss Robertson of Foxbar, near Paisley, who survives to cherish his memory and mourn the loss she has sustained by his removal." -- Alexander Stewart is shown in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions as "Rev. Alexander Stewart, MA, Free Church minister at Killin, born 1812 in Ardveigh (sic. Ardveich), died 31 AUG 1882. He married in SEP 1839 in Killin, Perthshire, Scotland to Janet ROBERTSTON. He 'came out' (left the Church of Scotland for the Free Kirk) in 1843. He is buried in Killin Churchyard." Rev. Alexander Stewart is listed in the Fasti Ecclesiae Scoticanae, vol 4.

In 1901, at age 37, Charles Angus, a blacksmith, was residing at 6 Albion Street, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his wife and three children. In 1911, at age 47, Charles Angus, a blacksmith, was residing at 6 Albion Street, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his wife and three children. Two of Charles' children, William and John, are recorded in later records as being Roman Catholic. The English census records do not record religion, so it appears that Charles may have converted to Roman Catholicism at some point. On 23 Oct 1917, Charles was recorded in his son John's military record as residing at 60 Bosworth Street in Openshaw, Manchester, England. In 1922, a 12 year old Mary Ann Angus travelled from England to Quebec and bound for Toronto, listing Charles Angus as her father.

| 5240 | On 17 May 1795, the Comrie church Session minutes indicate that Catherine Dochart, servant maid to Mr McNab at Dundurn was pregnant by Robert Stewart, "servant to the said Mr. McNab." The Comrie parish register shows on 9 July 1795 an incomplete entry for Robert Stewart, Dundurn. which says nothing else other than his name. It is followed immediately by an entry dated, 19 Aug 1795, which says that Robert Stewart and Catherine Dochart had a daughter Cathrine. Neither Stewarts of the South nor The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vols 1-3 & Supplement identify any Robert Stewart was was a servant at Dundurn. It is possible that he is the same Robert who fathered the child with Mary Dochart just months prior and that perhaps he was dismissed from his service at Ardvorlich for getting the maid pregnant and went to work for McNab of Dundurn where he did the same thing and was fired again and thus ended up way down in Logie working for Mr Rob at Menstrie. | Stewart, Catherine (I26191)

| 5244 | On 23 Jul 1783 Joseph appointed his uncle Lewis Cuthbert, Provost Marshall of Jamaica, et al, as his attorneys, coincident with the death of his grand-uncle Abbé Alexander Cuthbert, 13th of Castlehill. Two years later, Joseph is cited in a will dated 6 JUL 1785 in which he is identified as "Joseph Cuthbert in Savannah, Georgia, eldest son of Dr. James Cuthbert in Savannah" and named as heir to Abbé Alexander Colbert, 13th of Castlehill. It would appear that the estate was contested in the intervening time. Bulloch says that the Abbé Colbert died without a will. It would appear that it took Joseph and his family attorneys some time to "find" the will. Whether or not the will was truly found or merely fabricated is not significant as Joseph was the lawful heir anyway. It is known that the estate of Castlehill was severely financially encumbered at this point. The estate passed next to Joseph's youngest uncle, George Cuthbert, who is said to have "intervened financially" rather than to any of Joseph's elder uncles or younger siblings. From this action, it would appear that Joseph could not afford to keep Castlehill and sold it to his uncle George Cuthbert. It is not known if Joseph Cuthbert married or had any children. Joseph is cited in the following deeds: Edinburgh Register of Deeds, RD4.238.237; In: David Dobson, 1986, Directory of Scottish Settlers In North America, 1625-1825, Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore, Maryland, Vol. VI, p. 34; ISBN: 0-8063-1157-6.

| 5245 | On 25 May 1834, at age 27, Jean Stewart in Stronvar had a child born in fornication with Andrew McFarlane in Ballemore, called Jean. "1834 May 25 Andrew McFarlane Ballemore and Jean Stewart Stronvar had a child in fornication baptized and called Jean." (Balquhidder OPR) There are no Kirk Session minutes in Balquhidder for the year 1834, so there is no mention of this fornication having been brought to the Session. Jean McFarlane was raised by her maternal uncle and aunt, Robert Stewart and Mary Stewart in Balnluig, Stronvar, Balquhidder, Pertshire, Scotland. In 1841, at age 5, Jean McFarlane was residing in Balnluig, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland with her maternal uncle and aunt, Robert Stewart and Mary Stewart.
