| 5251 | On 4 Nov 1807, Jean Stewart was born in Ardveich, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, to parents James Og Stewart and Jean McDiarmid. On 30 Sept 1832, at age 25, Jean Stewart and Andrew McFarlane had a child begotten in fornication baptized and called Mary. On 25 May 1834, at age 27, Jean Stewart in Stronvar had a (second) child born in fornication with Andrew McFarlane in Ballemore, called Jean. 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's child, Jean Ferguson, is found residing with her mother in 1891, confirming this relationship. In 1841, at age 30, Jean Stewart was residing in Carnlia, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, in the home of her aunt, Margaret nic Seamus Stewart, and Margareet's husband, Duncan mac Finlay McIntyre. On 17 March 1846, at age 39, Jean Stewart in Kirkton had a child born in fornication with Alexander Ferguson in Stronvar, named Donald. In 1891 (shown below), Donald Ferguson was found residing with his mother, Jean Stewart, confirming this relationship. On 12 Dec 1847, The Balquhidder Kirk Session minutes read, "Compeared Alexander Ferguson Stronvar under scandal of fornication with Jean Stewart Kirkton having been admonished by the Moderator, he was absolved from the scandal. Closed with prayers." In 1851, at age 40, Jean Stewart was residing in Kirkton, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, as a house servant to James McArthur. She was residing next-door to the family of 74-year-old widow Margaret McLaren, who has a 6 year old granddaughter, Mary Stewart. In 1861, at age 52, Jean Stewart was residing in Auchtowmore, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, as a spinster with her brother John. In 1871, at age 64, Jean Stewart was residing in Auchtow, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, as a spinster with her brother John. She was employed as house maid. In 1881, at age 73, Jean Stewart was residing in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, as a pauper with her brother John. Their exact residence is not specified. In 1891, at age 83, Jean Stewart was residing in Stronvar, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, with her son Donald Ferguson, age 44, and his wife and family. She died shortly after the census was taken. The full family in 1891 included: Donald Ferguson 44, head Ann Ferguson, 47, wife Christina Ferguson, 18, daughter Alexander Ferguson, 14, son Jane Ferguson, 11, daughter John Ferguson, 9, son Jean Stewart, 83, mother Jean McFarlane, 56, sister Jean Stewart died 18 April 1891 in Stronvar, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, just shortly after the census was taken. Her death certificate gives her parents names as James Stewart and Jane McDiarmid. Her son Donald Ferguson was the witness. This family has not been found in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions. | Stewart, Jean in Kirkton (I16895)

| 5258 | One census record gives Margaret's birth place as Ireland, whereas the majority give her birth place as Nairn. | Ogilvie, Margaret (I11983)
|
| 5259 | One theory proposes that Afallach (pronounced "Avalack") is the Welsh king after whom the realm Ynys Afallach is named. Ynys Afallach can be translated as "the realm of Afallach". This is the name of the place where, according to Welsh legend, King Arthur asked to be buried. Ynys can be translated equally as "realm" and "island", and the English mistranslation of Ynys Afallach has become famously enshrined as the "Isle of Avalon". Thus one present historical theory is that Avalon was not an island, but actually the realm of the ancient Welsh King Afallach. Chronologically, Afallach does not fit as a son of Beli Mawr, so there is some error in the old King lists. | Beli, Afallach ap (I756)

| 5260 | Online Genealogy for Johannes Muller indicates he is "a Palatine line". The Palatinate was, in German history, the land of the Count Palatine, a title held by a leading secular prince of the Holy Roman Empire. Geographically, the Palatinate was divided between two small territorial clusters: the Rhenish, or Lower Palatinate, and the Upper Palatinate. The Rhenish Palatinate included lands on both sides of the Middle Rhine River between its Main and Neckar tributaries. Its capital until the 18th century was Heidelberg. The Upper Palatinate was located in northern Bavaria, on both sides of the Naab River as it flows south toward the Danube and extended eastward to the Bohemian Forest. The boundaries of the Palatinate varied with the political and dynastic fortunes of the Counts Palatine. The Palatinate has a border beginning in the north, on the Moselle River about 35 miles southwest of Coblenz to Bingen and east to Mainz, down the Rhine River to Oppenheim, Guntersblum and Worms, then continuing eastward above the Nieckar River about 25 miles east of Heidelberg then looping back westerly below Heidelberg to Speyer, south down the Rhine River to Alsace, then north-westerly back up to its beginning on the Moselle River. The first Count Palatine of the Rhine was Hermann I, who received the office in 945. Although not originally hereditary, the title was held mainly by his descendants until his line expired in 1155, and the Bavarian Wittelsbachs took over in 1180. In 1356, the Golden Bull (a papal bull: an official document, usually commands from the Pope and sealed with the official Papal seal called a Bulla) made the Count Palatine an Elector of the Holy Roman Empire. During the Reformation, the Palatinate accepted Protestantism and became the foremost Calvinist region in Germany. After Martin Luther published his 95 Theses on the door of the castle church at Wittenberg on 31 October 1517, many of his followers came under considerable religious persecution for their beliefs. Perhaps for reasons of mutual comfort and support, they gathered in what is known as the Palatine. These folk came from many places, Germany, Holland, Switzerland and beyond, but all shared a common view on religion. The protestant Elector Palatine Frederick V (1596-1632), called the "Winter King" of Bohemia, played a unique role in the struggle between Roman Catholic and Protestant Europe. His election in 1619 as King of Bohemia precipitated the Thirty Years War that lasted from 1619 until 1648. Frederick was driven from Bohemia and in 1623, deposed as Elector Palatine. During the Thirty Years War, the Palatine country and other parts of Germany suffered from the horrors of fire and sword as well as from pillage and plunder by the French armies. This war was based upon both politics and religious hatreds, as the Roman Catholic armies sought to crush the religious freedom of a politically-divided Protestantism. Many unpaid armies and bands of mercenaries, both of friends and foe, devoured the substance of the people and by 1633, even the catholic French supported the Elector Palatine for a time for political reasons. During the War of the Grand Alliance (1689-97), the troops of the French monarch Louis XIV ravaged the Rhenish Palatinate, causing many Germans to emigrate. Many of the early German settlers of America (e.g. the Pennsylvania Dutch) were refugees from the Palatinate. During the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, the Palatinate's lands on the west bank of the Rhine were incorporated into France, while its eastern lands were divided largely between neighboring Baden and Hesse.

| 5263 | Online trees (not verified) indicate that John Stewart came from Little Dunkeld, Perthshire, Scotland and thus was likely not related to William Stewart, Merchant in Menstrie, who married Mary Eadie, sister of Marion Eadie. | Eadie, Marion (I26395)

| 5264 | Online trees (not verified) indicate that John Stewart came from Little Dunkeld, Perthshire, Scotland and thus was likely not related to William Stewart, Merchant in Menstrie, who married Mary Eadie, sister of Marion Eadie. | Stewart, John (I26396)
|
| 5265 | Only Elisabeth's first name can be confirmed. IGI shows a marriage for a John C. Richardson and Elizabeth Danforth, 14 NOV 1872 as the only marriage in Summit, OH for a John & Elisabeth Richardson. Elisabeth has a nephew named Hart, so it is possible that her birth name was Hart. | Danforth?, Elisabeth (I3606)
|
| 5266 | Onomastics would favour that the eldest son of this family would be named "Duncan". No such Duncan has been found and thus it is presumed that if he existed then he probably died young. | Stewart, Duncan? (I16050)
|
| 5267 | Onomastics would suggest that her parents' names are William McDiarmid and Elizabeth Robertson or Robinson. | McDiarmid, Catherine Ann (I25497)
|
| 5268 | Onomastics would suggest that John Steuart was the son of a Duncan Stewart, but this is not certain and no such Duncan Stewart has been identified. Janet is nowhere recorded as "McGrigor-alias-Drummond" however the following children are shown mostly in Wester Achtow with mothers shown alternately as either Janet McGrigor or Janet Drummond, with a complimentary chronology. It is suggested that Janet McGrigor and Janet Drummond, both shown as wives of John Steuart in Wester Achtow are the same person and that she is actually Drummond-alias-McGrigor. | Stewart, John (I17221)
|
| 5269 | Onomastics would suggest that Kathrine's father's name was Alexander. | Stewart, Kathrine (I17359)
|
| 5270 | Onomastics would suggest that this un-named son was probably named Donald and that he likely died at birth so his name is not recorded in the OPR. Either that or it's possible the original name in the OPR is unreadable. | Stewart, Son (I18217)
|
| 5271 | Ontario birth records show three children for Agnes and James, however, quite strangely, this couple and their children are utterly and completely absent in the 1891, 1901, and 1911 censuses. I cannot comprehend how they could be missed on three consecutive censuses. As such, nothing more is known about this family. | Cuthbert, Agnes (I3247)

| 5273 | Ontario Marriage 6016-92 (Kent Co): Samuel A. BOYLE, 33, clerk, Dawn Mills Ont., Newberry Mich., s/o John & Rebecca, married Lizzie PRANGLEY, 29, Euphemia twp., same, d/o Nathaniel & Nancy, witn: J.A. & C. BOYLE of Dawn Mills, 27 Oct 1891 at Dawn Mills. This couple cannot be found in the 1901 census. Perhaps they moved back to Michigan. | Prangley, Annie Elizabeth (I12478)

| 5275 | OPR and census records seem to indicate only one Benjamin Prangley in Corsley at this time. However IGI transcriptions show two different families. The second, as shown here, easily fits with the chronology of the first except that we know Hannah lived beyond 1809. It is suggested that these two Benjamins are the same and that either the second "wife", Martha, was either a mistress, or is simply a scribal error and that the child, Martha, should be recorded as a daughter of Hannah. The 1851 census shows Benjamin as a blind pauper and former sawyer living in Leigh's Green, Corsley, Wiltshire with a wife, Mary. | Prangley, Benjamin (I12467)
