| 5301 | Pater McNaughtan is found travelling in 1831 with 45 year old Mark McNaughtan, a male. This is not a transcription error. Mark is not a known Highland name and may be a by-name for Malcolm. | McNaughtan, Mark (I20756)
|
| 5302 | Patraick Stewart is shown in the Kilmadock OPR as born in 1677 in Ballachallan. Patrick is not mentioned by Duncan Stewart (1739) or Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland. He is presumed to have died young. | Stewart, Patrick (I17853)

| 5303 | Patrick Buchanan of MacCarthe, ancestor of Arnprior, Auchleshy, MacCarthe, and Desclelles. | Buchanan, Patrick of MacCarthe (I1947)
|
| 5304 | Patrick Galloch is presumed to be the brother of Duncan Galloch-alias-Drummond, but this is not confirmed. The surname is quite rare and seems to originate in Comrie in the persons of Patrick and Duncan, who are thus presumed to be brothers. See notes on Patrick's brother Duncan Galloch-alias-Drummond for more information. The children of Patrick Galloch are not confirmed (excluding Catherine, who is confirmed). They are derived from the most sensible arrangement of IGI data. | Galloch, Patrick (I6696)

| 5309 | Patrick is described in Stewarts of the South as: "The Reverend Patrick Stewart, Minister of Killin, who I believe the best before this pedantic coxcomb." The "pedantic coxcomb" is believed to refer to the author of Stewarts of the South himself. Patrick is described in the Fasti Ecclesia as: "Patrick Stuart, born 2nd April 1747, son of preceding; licensed by the Presbytery 6th October 1778; presented by John, Earl of Breadalbane in June and ordained (assistant and successor) 27th October 1779; died 18th May 1795.

|
| 5311 | Patrick is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South and is presumed to have died young. However, the author of Stewarts of the South acknowledges that he is unsure of the sons names in this family. | Stewart, Patrick (I17878)

| 5315 | Patrick Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Patrick, another son of James crofter in Soldiers' land near Callander, also [has] three sons [who are] under age." | Stewart, Patrick (I17874)
|
| 5316 | Patrick Stewart renounces his rights to the estate of Glenbuckie Patrick Stewart was born in the mid-16th century as the oldest son of his father, Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie. As the eldest son, Patrick would have been the rightful heir of the estate of Glenbuckie, and his younger brother Duncan would have been heir to the lesser estate of Ledcreich. But, for some reason, that didn't happen. Instead, Patrick and Duncan exchanged their lands and hereditary rights, so Patrick inherited the estate of Ledcreich and his younger brother, Duncan, inherited Glenbuckie. In one source we are told that Patrick "sold" his rights and in another that he "renounced" his rights. Why would Patrick renounce his rights not only to the larger estate but also to the chieftainship of the Glenbuckie sept of the Stewarts of Balquhidder? This was unheard of! There must have been an important reason to do so. Whatever that reason was, it was not written down, nor was it passed down to his great-grandson, Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, who recorded the history of the Stewarts of Ledcreich. We are left to guess at the reason. We'll explore one possibility below. In 1763, Patrick's great-great grandson, another Patrick Stewart, denominated 5th of Ledcreich, recorded his family history. In that family history, Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, refers to his great-great grandfather, Patrick Stewart, 1st of Ledcreich, saying: "This Patrick sold his right and title to Glenbucky to his next brother, Duncan Stewart, second son to the aforesaid Alexander, and his posterity enjoys the land and title at present." This family history was cited in Stewart Clan Magazine: "[Patrick] sold his right and title of Glenbucky to his next younger brother Duncan and his posterity enjoy the land and title to the present day [1763]." (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome C, Dec. 1934, vol. xii, no. 6, pp. 91-92, citing the 1763 family history.) Gordon MacGregor, author of The Red Book of Scotland, says, "[Patrick] renounced his rights to the lands of Glenbucky and, instead, obtained those of Ledcreich, and married Christian Drummond. He had issue." Duncan Stewart (1739) says little of this Patrick other than that he was "of whom Patrick Stewart of Ledcreich is the 5th in a lineal descent". A Stewart Murder The 16th century was a violent time as we shall see. Patrick is one of several members of the clan to be mentioned in the following document as having participated in 1569 in the murders of John and Hugh Stewart in Balquhidder: "Reg. Privy Seal. Vol.VI. No. 737. 8 Sept. 1569. Gift to Alexander Stewart in Pittareg of the escheat of numerous persons all from Balquhidder including Alexander Stewart in Gartnascrow and Andrew his son also Duncan Stewart his son, and Blak Alexander Stewart in Glenbuckie and Patrick his son, for the murder of Hugh and John Stewart, his brother, in the lands of Balquhider in December last [1568]". Based on the wording of this escheat, it would seem that Hugh and John Stewart belonged to a family of Stewarts in Pittareg in northern Perthshire. What provoked the murder is unknown, but the guilty parties are identified as Alexander Stewart, 2nd of Gartnafuaran and his son, Andrew Stewart, latterly 3rd of Gartnafuaran, Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie, and his eldest son, Patrick Stewart, latterly 1st of Ledcreich. In other words, the senior chieftain and his heir for the number two and three branches of the Stewarts of Balquhidder. Their punishment was only to have their goods forfeited to Alexander Stewart of Pittareg. That appears to have been a light sentence for murder, so there may have been a mitigating provocation for the killing such as a robbery or assault. And someone from Glenbuckie and Gartnafuaran may have sought retribution and took it too far. If this murder brought the Stewarts of Glenbuckie into disrepute, and Patrick had a direct hand in that, then that might explain why Patrick renounced his rights to Glenbuckie in favour of his younger brother. It may have been a demotion of sorts, perhaps at the behest of his father, or others in the broader Clan Stewart of Balquhidder, or possibly their allies in Clan Campbell. However, this is merely supposition. Gordon MacGregor, author of The Red Book of Scotland, mentions this escheat as well as an even bigger murder case that Patrick was also later implicated in: "Patrick Stewart, 1st of Ledcreich, had his goods escheated for complicity in the murder of Hugh and John Stewart in December of 1568 and is styled eldest son to his father in a Bond of Manrent (below) to Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy in 1586." A MacGregor Murder In 1586 the following people, all from the Stewarts of Glenbuckie, including Patrick Stewart, 1st of Ledcreich, his brothers, his father, his uncle, and his first-cousin, were all included in a bond of manrent to Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy, for the murder of John MacOlchallum Comrie. (Gordon MacGregor, author of The Red Book of Scotland, personal correspondence): Walter Stewart in Bailliefoile (natural son of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie) Robert Stewart (son of Walter Stewart in Balliefoile) Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie Patrick Stewart, 1st of Ledcriech (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Robert Stewart of Broichie (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) James Stewart (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) John Stewart of Voil (natural son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Walter Stewart (natural son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) There is much more to this bond of manrent than meets the eye! A bond of manrent was a contract of protection, usually between a powerful clan and a weaker clan. In this case, Clan Campbell was the most powerful clan in all of Scotland. Their chief, the Earl of Argyll, was Chancellor of Scotland! Argyll's cousin, Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy, issued this bond of manrent. Two centuries prior, during dispute between the Stewart Dukes of Albany (ancestors of the Stewarts of Balquhidder) and their cousins, the Royal House of Stewart, the Campbells of Lochawe (ancestors of both the Campbell Earls of Argyll and the Campbells of Glenorchy) had supported the Stewarts of Albany. Then, five generations later, in 1484, Sir William Stewart of Baldorran (great-great-grandson of Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, and great-great grandfather of Patrick Stewart, 1st of Ledcreich) married the daughter of Sir Colin Campbell, 1st of Glenorchy, thus forming an alliance by marriage between the two clans. That means that every Stewart listed in the bond of manrent was also a cousin of Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy who issued the bond. What appears to have happened here is that a person or persons connected to the Stewarts of Glenbuckie murdered John MacOlchallum Comrie, who may have actually been a MacGregor. Clan Gregor at this time were in conflict with Clan Campbell. Highland clans believed in retributive justice. Thus, if a Stewart of Glenbuckie killed a MacGregor, then the MacGregors would naturally want revenge on the Stewarts of Glenbuckie. In response to that, we find the powerful Clan Campbell weighing in with a bond of protection for every major house belonging to the Stewarts of Glenbuckie, sending a message to the MacGregors that if they sought revenge on the Stewarts of Glenbuckie they would also have to face Clan Campbell. If this reminds you of an episode of Sons of Anarchy, well, you're not wrong. If Patrick was directly involved in both of these murders, then perhaps he was a bit of a hothead and his ability to be the future chieftain of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie was questioned. Perhaps even Clan Campbell were frowning. That could be a possible reason to demote Patrick and to promote his younger brother, Duncan, to be 5th of Glenbuckie. | Stewart, Patrick 1st of Ledcreich (I17893)

| 5317 | Patrick Stewart's birthdate is estimated based on his father's estimated date of birth. His birth location is not known. He was born sometime around the time that his father acquired the lands of Baldorran in 1457, so he was likely born at Baldorran, but he may have been born somewhere in his great-grandmother's lands of the Lennox. Patrick Stewart, obtained the rental of the crown lands of Ardkeanknockane, in the Lordship of Strathgartney in 1503, and married Elizabeth Ardincaple. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) Ardkinknockane is located on the northeast shore of Loch Achray in western Callander parish. | Stewart, Patrick in Ardcheanochdan (I17889)

| 5319 | Patrick was outlawed in 1533. | MacGregor, Patrick MacDougal Ciar (I23722)
|
| 5320 | Patrick was presumably a tacksman in Inverlochlarig in Braes of Balquhidder, as inferred from the information on his son. No such Patrick has so far been identified in any documentary records. | Stewart, Patrick in Inverlochlarig (I17859)
|
| 5321 | Patrick was the eldest son of Alexander Stewart, 4th of Ledcreich, and Catherine Stewart of Glenogle. A Disillusioned Country Patrick Stewart was born in 1697 at Ledcreich, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. He grew up in a Scotland full of disillusionment. He would have been raised with the stories of his grandfather's long suffering loyalty to the Stuart kings and the constant defeat of the Stuart cause. He would have been ten years old when the Act of Union was passed in 1707, which would have felt to many loyal Scots like the death of their country by the stroke of a pen without a sword having ever been drawn. He would have heard the ire expressed around him at the Scottish nobles who sold out their country for English blessings. He would have suffered as a teenager through the depression in the local economy due to new English taxes and predatory English trade policies that followed the Union. He would have heard the angry words and whispered talks of revolution around him. Patrick was alive during the 1715 Jacobite Uprising and was old enough to have likely been involved to some degree. We don't know if Patrick fought at the Battle of Sheriffmuir, but most of his neighbours did and many of his clan did. Patrick would have been the third generation of his family to experience the gut-punch of defeat in their loyalty to the Royal Stuarts. He would have also heard the stories of the thousands of his countrymen who were "transported" to the colonies, as punishment for their participation in the 1715 Rising, many as indentured servants, never to return to Scotland. Some of them were likely his neighbours. It must have been a depressing and deflating time to have been alive. Patrick tries to start a family - more grief It was in such a climate as this that Patrick entered adulthood and tried to establish a life of his own. Patrick married firstly on 19 March 1717 in Kirktown, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Jean Stewart. Her birth family is unknown. They had two daughters who did not survive. Their mother followed them to the grave. Patrick married secondly in 1728 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, to Katherine Stewart. Her birth family is unknown. They had one daughter. Then his second wife also died. Patrick inherits Ledcreich and has a family Having lived through all of this death and defeat, then, in 1731 his father died. Patrick would have been 34 years old. The silver lining of his father's death was that Patrick inherited the family estate of Ledcreich and Stronslany. On 8 January 1731, Patrick Stewart, bought the feu for the lands of Ledcreich. Eight years later, he would sell that feu to John Stewart of Benmore. Patrick tried again for a family and married thirdly on 31 Oct 1733 to Elizabeth Menzies, daughter of Dr. Duncan Menzies. They had four children while living at Ledcreich in Balquhidder parish. Two of their children died young. A hopeless cause During the 1730s, while Patrick was raising his wee bairns, talk of another Jacobite Rising would have begun to circulate; that talk would have evolved into clandestine planning. We know that many of Patrick's kin from amongst the Stewarts of Glenbuckie, the Stewarts of Annat, and their allies-by-marriage, the Stewarts of Appin, were deeply involved in the planning for the next Rising. Patrick, as the head of a major house, would certainly have been privy to the emerging plans. Given his past experience, he likely viewed the possibility of another rising as a pointless, futile cause, doomed to failure just like the past hundred years. Meanwhile, Patrick would also have been hearing stories coming back from the colonies by those same people who had been "transported." Stories of lands of opportunity and freedom, far away from the reach of the British government. "Most commentators have been satisfied that American emigration was led by tacksmen and was due to the collapse of the tacksman system and later to the clearances. While these considerations undoubtedly apply after 1745 it would seem that they have no relevance to 1739. All the leaders were apparently landowners and men of substance. Their move was apparently engendered by disillusionment with the Union, a desire for improvement and the hope of more prosperity than they could expect in the rather forlorn Scotland of the immediate post-Union period." (Stewart, A.I.B., "The North Carolina Settlement of 1739," The Kintyre Antiquarian and Natural History Society Magazine, Issue Number 15, Spring 1984.) The Argyll Expedition In Campbeltown, in Kintyre, Argyllshire, Scotland, plans were starting to be made for an expedition of colonists to the New World in America. Their destination was the colony of North Carolina. We don't know exactly how Patrick came to be connected to the planned expedition from Argyll, it may have been through a marital connection unknown to us; it may have been through a connection to the Campbell Earls of Argyll in Campbeltown. But Patrick was invited to join six Argyllshire gentlemen and three hundred commoners to settle in North American colony of North Carolina. Selling the family estate Duncan Stewart (1739) describes Patrick Stewart as being the current holder of Ledcreich and as being 5th in lineal descent from Patrick Stewart, 1st of Ledcreich. Duncan's book was published the very same year that Patrick Stewart left for America. Before departing, a mere eight years after inheriting Ledcreich, Patrick sold the estate that had been in his family for eight generations to Capt. John Glas Stewart of Benmore, whom Duncan Stewart (1739) elsewhere refers to as "now of Ledcreich." Farewell to Scotland Patrick Stewart, along with his wife, Elizabeth, and their two surviving children, together with Patrick's younger unmarried brother, William, travelled to Campbeltown and on June 6th, 1739, they boarded the ship “Thistle” of Saltcoats, under its shipmaster, Robert Brown, and sailed for Cape Fear in America. ---- Patrick and Elizabeth had three more children after settling in America. Another history of the Stewarts, entitled, A Genealogical History of the Royal and Illustrious Family of the Stewarts, from the year 1034 to the year 1710, written by George Crawford and James Watson, published in 1710, was circulting during the time when Patrick was preparing to leave Scotland. The book contained errors in its presentation of Patrick’s family. Patrick wrote to the publisher in an effort to get the errors corrected, but received no reply. After giving up waiting for a reply from the publisher, in 1763, Patrick dictated to his son Charles, his own version of the correct family history. In that history, Patrick says of himself: “January 18th, 1763. “1st. Patrick Stewart, of Ledcreich, in the Balghinder [Balquhidder], the southeast [sic, southwest] district of Perthshire, and Elizabeth his wife, daughter to Doctor Duncan Menzies and his wife Margaret, daughter to Robert Menzies, cousin-german to Sir Robert Menzies, of Weem, and grandfather to the present Sir Robert and William Stewart, brother-german to the said Patrick, came in company with six Argyllshire gentlemen and above three hundred common people from Scotland to Cape Fear in North Carolina the year 1739. The said Patrick was eldest lawful son to Alexander Stewart of Ledcreich, and Catherine his wife, daughter to Alexander Stewart, brother to Robert Stewart, of Glenogle, predecessor of John Stewart, of Hindfield and Strauser [Stronslany].” Stewart Clan Magazine quotes this same history in its Dec 1956 issue: “Patrick Stewart and his wife came to America in company with six Argyleshire gentleman and above 300 common people from Scotland to Cape Fear in North Carolina in the year 1739.” By the word ‘gentlemen’ he meant men who were of the class of landlords, or tenants of the king, while ‘common’ people were those who held no royal property or privilege. “Patrick Stewart of Ledcreich, in Balquhidder, in the southeast district of Perthshire,” the narrator wrote, “and Elizabeth, his wife, daughter of Dr. Duncan Menzies and his wife Margaret (daughter of Robert Menzies, cousin-german to Sir Robert Menzies of Weems and grandfather of the present Sir Robert), and William Stewart, brother-german to the said Patrick.” (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, December 1956, vol. 34, no. 6, pp.177-179) Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says: “Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, succeeded his father and purchased the feu of the lands of Ledcreich from James, Duke of Atholl, on 8 January 1731. He married at Dull, on 31 October 1733, to Elizabeth, daughter of Duncan Menzies, surgeon in Camuserny,and in company with his brother William Stewart, “six Argyleshire gentlemen and above three hundred common people” he emigrated to Cape Fear in North Carolina, in 1739. He died on 1 May 1772 and had issue.” The group called itself the Argyll Colony because Argyll was the shire in western Scotland from which they sailed. They were the vanguard of what began as a trickle and grew into a flood of Highland emigrants to what was then Bladen County, North Carolina. The colony sailed from Scotland in June 1739. On 6 June the customs office of Campbeltown, Argyll, cleared the “Thistle” (ship) of passengers for “Cape Fear in America.” From Cambeltown, she sailed to Gigha to take on additional passengers and join the “Charming Molly” (ship), cleared at Belfast also to carry part of the colony. Stewart Clan Magazine says: “Patrick Stewart, born about 1687 (sic), at Ledcreich, Balquhidder parish, Perthshire, was heir to the lairdship of that estate. He married Elizabeth Menzies, daughter of Dr. Duncan Menzies and his wife Margaret (daughter of Robert Menzies, “cousin german to Sir Robert Menzies of Weem, and grandfather to the present Sir Robert”). With his younger brother William, “in company with six Argyllshire gentlemen, and upwards of 300 common people from Scotland,” Patrick and his wife came in 1739 to Wilmington, North Carolina, forming a settlement at Brown’s Marsh, on the Cape Fear river. In 1740 Patrick and Dugald Stewart received grants of land on the Cape Fear River in Bladen county. In 1756, Patrick had a grant of land on Harnett’s Branch, and in 1763, at Brown’s Marsh, both in Bladen County. After the Stuarts failed to re-establish themselves on the throne in 1746 the laird of Ledcreich is said to have decided never to return to Scotland, and sold his estate there to his younger brother, Robert. (sic) On Jan. 18, 1763, he had his son Charles write down his genealogy, from which many of these data are taken. After the marriage of his daughter Catherine in 1764, he and his wife “removed to South Carolina at the Cheraws, where he died about 1772.” The will of Patrick Stewart of St.David’s parish [co-extensive with Cheraws district], S.C., dated May 8, 1772, divided his property among his wife Elizabeth, son James, daughters Catherine Little and Margaret Caraway, and his grandson Charles Stewart Caraway: the executors were Catherine Little and Alexander Gordon. Children: Charles, c.1721, died in 1765, in Wilmington, N.C., unmarried; Margaret: m. (1) Thomas Stewart, (2) John Caraway; James: m. ______ Vilpontan, in South Carolina; Catherine: m. (1) Dec. 25, 1764, William Little, (2) July -, 1774, John Speed; Elizabeth: m. James Stewart, her cousin.” (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome C, May 1935, vol. xii, no. 11, pp.121-122) Patrick Stewart and the colony arrived in North Carolina in September and probably spent most of their first winter in or near Newton (soon to be renamed Wilmington) because they had not yet decided on a specific location for settlement. Earlier settlers, mostly from Pennsylvania and Jersey, had already taken up most of the river frontage along the Cape Fear as far up as the mouth of Lower Little River, some twenty miles above Cross Creek. For that reason, the Argyll Colonists had to go farther upriver to find available river frontage, the preferred location because, in the absence of roads at the time, the river was the most convenient highway. On 4 and 5 June 1740, some twenty-five men with Highland names were issued patents for a total of 14,000 acres in parcels of varying sizes on both sides of the river as far up as The Forks, the confluence of the Haw and Deep Rivers which form the Cape Fear, about fifty miles above Cross Creek. In 1740 Patrick Stewart received land grants for 320 acres in Bladen County, North Carolina. In 1756 he was granted land on Harnett’s Branch, and in 1763 at Brown’s Marsh, all in Bladen County. After the Stuarts failed to re-establish themselves on the throne of England and Scotland in 1746, Patrick is said to have decided to never return to Scotland. On January 18, 1763, he and his son, Charles, wrote down his genealogy. Patrick and his wife Elizabeth later moved following his daughter, Catherine and her husband William Little, to South Carolina at the Cheraws where he died 1772. The will of Patrick Stewart of St David’s Parish in the Cheraws District of North Carolina, dated 8-May-1772, divided his property among his wife, Elizabeth, son James, daughters Catherine Little and Margaret Caraway, and his grandson Charles Stewart Caraway. The executors were Catherine Little (who in 1774 married John Speed) and Alexander Gordon. The old written record of the Stewart ancestors which was dictated by Patrick Stewart, former Laird of Ledcreich, Balquhidder, Scotland, on January 18, 1763, and recorded by Patrick’s son, Charles, was in the possession of Patrick’s granddaughter, Ann Gist (Ann was the daughter of Patrick’s son, James) at the time of her death. Her surviving husband, Gist, sent this original record to Dr Morgan Brown who was married to Patrick Stewart’s granddaughter, Elizabeth Little (daughter of Catherine Stewart). It has survived these many years in the Brown family bible and was published in the American Historical Magazine; University Press, Volume 8; Date: 1902. “During his lifetime Patrick Stewart corresponded with the members of his family who remained in Old Scotia. At long intervals, American cousins have visited the old manorial hall in Balgheidder (Balquhidder), and have been hospitably entertained on making themselves known.” (The American Historical Register) The first and second marriages of Patrick Stewart and the three daughters from these marriage are not recorded in any of the later genealogies of the Stewarts of Ledcreich, but the births are found in the Balquhidder Church records. The third daughter married and remained in Scotland. It is presumed that the first two daughters either died in childhood or also married and remained in Scotland and thus were unknown to their later American kin. Stewart Clan Magazine published a final update on Patrick Stewart in 1957: Patrick Stewart, born about 1705 (This date is speculative. He may have been born even before the year 1700.) in Balquhidder parish, Perthshire, Scotland, was, no doubt, well acquainted with his maternal grandfather, Alexander Stewart, who was a younger brother of Robert Stewart of Glenagle. He probably knew his cousins. Patrick Stewart sold his lands of Ledcreich in Balquhidder to John Stewart, a younger son of John Stewart of Aucharn in Argyleshire, and sailed with his wife and young children for American in 1739. He and John McLauren bought Oct. 31, 1739, of Ann Shirley two tracts of land of 300 acres each in Bladen County, North Carolina. Later, on May 21, 1741, he was granted a patent to 600 acres of land on Maple branch, in the same county. He, “of New Hanover County,” sold to John McLauren on June 16, 1747, his half of the 600-acre tract which together they had bought of Ann Shirley in 1739. On Sep. 29, 1750, Patrick was granted 200 acres on John Young’s path between Six Runs and Goshen swamp in Sampson [then in Duplin] County. He sold this place to Peter Smith for 20 pounds on Feb. 23, 1754. At that time, he was residing on the place, for the deed said that he was “of Duplin County.” He evidently moved to Bladen County within the next twelve years, for on Dec. 19, 1766, Pat. Stuart (This Pat. Stewart may have been the son of William Stewart, for it is said that he changed the spelling of his name to Stuart.) and Peter Broades signed as witnesses to a deed from Joseph Clarke to James Stewart of Bladen County, conveying 292 acres of land on the south bank of Cape Fear River, in Bladen county. James Stewart had, by that date, married Patrick’s daughter Elizabeth. Some eight months later, on Aug. 7, 1767, “Patrick Stewart, late of Bladen County,” deeded to his grandson, Charles Stewart Carraway, “son to John Carraway & Margaret, his wife, my oldest lawful daughter,” for love and affection, a negro lad named Sambo. This deed, which was recorded in Cumberland County, stipulated that if Charles Stewart Carraway should die before his marriage the negro should “return to his full brother, James Carraway.” Margaret had first married one Thomas Stewart, who died early, leaving her with a little daughter, Elizabeth; and she afterward married John Carraway, by whom she had four children - James, Charles, Thomas and Robert. Robert Carraway died young. Patrick’s son Charles died in 1765 in Wilmington, unmarried, and James went to Dorchester County, South Carolina, perhaps because he had relatives there. Charles was, perhaps, the Charles Stewart, mariner, “of Brunswick in county & province of North Carolina & New Hanover County” who, on Aug. 16, 1759, gave power-of-attorney to William Bradley to collect his share of prize money and salary which might be due him for his services and prize money of captives taken by Thomas Wright, commander of the Hawk, a privateersman, “on board the said brigt. Hawk on his last cruise.” After the marriage of his daughter Catherine to William Little, jr., (of Edenton) in 1764 Patrick Stewart went to live in South Carolina, “at the Cheraws,” probably in that part which is now Darlington County. There he died some time before the Revolutionary war. Designing himself as “Patrick Stewart of St. David’s parish” (which was Cheraws district, formed in 1768), he made his will May 8, 1772. He appointed as his executors Catherine Little and Alexander Gordon, and named his wife Elizabeth; son James; daughter Catherin Little; daughter Margaret Carraway; and grandson Charles Stewart Carraway.

| 5322 | Patrick was the only recorded child of William Stewart, 2nd of Ledcreich and Mary MacGregor of Drumcharry. Patrick Stewart's birth is estimated to have occurred sometime around 1625, presumably in Ledcreich, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. He was born prior to the commencement of the Balquhidder parish register, thus there is no record of his birth or baptism. Patrick served in the armies of King Charles I, King Charles II, and King James VII/II and fought in over 25 battles. As Charles I reigned from 1625-1649, then Patrick must have been born early enough to have been a young adult during Charles' reign. The Wars of the Three Kingdoms Patrick lived through a tumultuous time in Scotland's history and a difficult and dangerous time to remain loyal to his distant royal cousins. The 1603 Union of the Crowns was still fresh and raw in the minds of loyal Scots who may have felt abandoned by King James VI when he moved to England and never looked back. His son, King Charles I, was deeply unpopular with the English Parliament. Charles' views on the Divine Right of Kings felt too much like tyranny to the English Parliament. Charles also alienated the Scottish Parliament with his views on religion and his attempt to impose English-style bishops on the Scottish Presbyterian Church. This resulted in civil wars on both sides of the border. Scotland Under Cromwell and the Bond of Keltney Burn Charles I was executed in 1649, resulting in the abolition of the Crown and the establishment of a Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell, but in England only. Scotland did not recognize the English Commonwealth and immediately crowned Charles' son, Charles II, as King of Scots. This resulted in a short-lived war between England and Scotland culminating in the Battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651, at which Charles and his 16,000 Royalist soldiers were defeated. We don't have a list of which battles Patrick Stewart fought in, but as one of Charles II's loyal generals, he would certainly have been present at Worcester. After the defeat, Charles fled to Europe. The defeat of Charles II's Royalist army at Worcester led to the imposition of Oliver Cromwell's English Commonwealth government on Scotland. Meanwhile, Stuart loyalists worked secretly to secure the return of their exiled king. Among the secret planning, was a bond of mutual support signed in secret in 1654 by the heads of the major houses of the three major Highland Stewart clans (The Stewarts of Appin, Atholl and Balquhidder). This document, known as The Bond of Keltney Burn, was a pact of loyalty to Charles II, but would also have been viewed as treasonous towards Cromwell. While we know that Gen. Patrick Stewart of Ledcreich was not one of the signatories to the Bond of Keltney Burn, his chieftain, John Stewart, 6th of Glenbuckie, was a signatory and Patrick's loyalties certainly would have put him in alignment with the Bond, and he would have been bound by his chieftain's signature. The Stuart Restoration and the Glorious Revolution In 1660, Cromwell's son, Richard, was defeated and Charles II was invited back from exile in France to reclaim the throne. The Stuart Crown was restored. Charles II died in 1685 and was succeeded by his brother, James VII of Scotland and II of England. James reigned for only three years before he was deposed in the so-called "Glorious Revolution" and replaced by William of Orange, at the invitation of the English Parliament. This revolution was seen as far less "glorious" in Scotland. The Scottish Parliament did not immediately recognize William as King of Scots and Scottish loyalties were split. King James VII fled into exile in France and his loyal supporters in Scotland plotted for his return. His supporters came to be known as Jacobites, using the Latin form of James' name. Patrick's Loyal Suffering General Patrick Stewart's wife died in 1682, but we don't know when Patrick, himself, died. He was said to have served as a General in the Royalist army of King James VII, so he certainly lived long enough to see James installed in 1685 and to have fought on behalf of James during his reign. Given James' short reign of only three years, Patrick almost certainly lived long enough to fight for his king during the so-called "Glorious Revolution", and to witness his king flee into exile. Patrick was said to have "suffered greatly" for his loyal service to the Royal Stuarts during this time period. One can certainly understand how his loyalty would have led to suffering. Patrick's Family History In 1763, Patrick's grandson, Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, dictated a detailed family history in which he says the following about his grandfather: “2nd. Alexander Stewart, of Ledcreich, was only son to Patrick* Stewart, of Ledcreich, who suffered much in the reign of the two Kings Charles and King James the Seventh, and to Margaret his wife, daughter to Robert B., of Drumlain, cousin-german to the Laird of Lenny.” *This Patrick was a general in the royal army in the reign of King Charles the First, and in the course of the wars of the two kings Charles and James, the second of England and seventh of Scotland, he fought twenty-five field battles besides skirmishes, and suffered greatly on account of his loyalty to that family. [Added by] James Caraway, February 8, 1789. “3rd. Patrick was son to William Stewart, of Ledcreich and Sronslany, by Mary his wife, daughter to Duncan McGregor, of Dumvery, cousin-german to Gregor McGregor, of that ilk, which family is now extinct.” Stewart Clan Magazine says, "[Gen.] Patrick Stewart, born about 1620 (sic), was laird of Ledcreich, in Balquhidder, Perthshire. He was a soldier in the army of King Charles I and is said to have held the rank of general in the service of Charles II and James II: he was in 25 battles besides skirmishes. For his loyalty to the Stuarts he suffered much. He married Margaret B______, daughter of Robert B______* of Drunlain, cousin to the laird of Lenry. Only son: Alexander; m. Catherine Stewart. "* This name was indistinct in a manuscript found in 1876 in the possession of Maggie Williams by John A. Dougherty and copied into his diary. The Stewart Clan Magazine is indebted to J. Adger Stewart of Louisville, Ky., for a copy of this valuable document. It was written Jan. 18, 1763, by Charles Stewart, son of Patrick Stewart of North Carolina (grandson of Gen. Patrick Stewart), under his father's direction, to correct some error in Crawford's history of the Stewarts. Crawford had sent a copy of the book to Patrick Stewart in America, and Patrick, perceiving the error, wrote to Crawford to have it corrected. Not receiving a corrected edition of the book Patrick had his son Charles write down his correct genealogy and place it in Patrick's large bible. There it remained until the death of Patrick's granddaughter, Anne Gist, without children." (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome C, March 1935, vol. xii, no. 9, p.109.) In the Dunblane Commissariot Record - Register of Testaments 1539-1800 (SRO), there are three wills recorded for Ledcreich. These are: (1) Duncan Stewart; 25 Jan 1665 and 6 Jan 1666; (2) Margaret Buchanan and Patrick Stewart her husband; 22 Aug 1682; (3) William Stewart 31 Jul 1683. Duncan Stewart (1739) does not mention Patrick Stewart. Gordon MacGregor, in The Red Book of Scotland, says only: "Patrick Stewart, 3rd of Ledcriech, succeeded his father and married Margaret, daughter of Robert Stewart of Drumbain. He was father of Alexander Stewart." | Stewart, Gen. Patrick 3rd of Ledcreich and Stronslaney (I17896)

| 5325 | Patrick's testament is referenced in The Ardvorlich History indicating that he died in 1705. His patronymic would make nearly certain that he was the son of Andrew Stewart, 4th of Blairgarry. | Stewart, Patrick McAndrew 5th of Blairgarry (I17888)

| 5326 | Paul Angus was born illegitimately in Over Wyresdale, Lancashire, England. His birth record gives his mother's name as Jane Angus with no father listed. He would have been only four years old when his widowed mother died. The following records have been found for contemporary Paul Anguses likely to be this Paul Angus as no record has been found of another contemporary Paul Angus in Lancashire, however these connections are not confirmed. The Lancashire Quarter Session Records for 1818 contains the following entry: The Order made by Michael Hughes and Edward Falkner esquires, two of his majesty’s justices of the peace for the said county, bearing date the Fourth day of November last, whereby Paul Angus of Windle in the said County, a spinner, is adjudged to be the reputed father of a female bastard child, born upon the body of Hannah Myers of Windle aforesaid, single woman. And he is thereby ordered to pay unto the church-wardens and overseers of the poor of the said township of Windle the sum of Two Pounds, Five Shillings for the charges and expenses incident to the birth of the said child, and maintenance of the said child, from the time of it’s [sic] birth to the time of making the same order, the further sum of [blank] for the costs of apprehending and securing the said [blank] and costs of the said order; and the sum of three Shillings in money weekly and every week from that time towards the maintenance of the said child, so long as the same should be chargeable to the said township, is by this court ratified and confirmed, no appeal being made, and due service of the said order being proved upon the oath of Joseph Garton. There is no other known contemporary Paul Angus. Windle is located midway between Liverpool and Bolton, about 13 miles east of Toxteth (below). A Paul Angus, bachelor, employed as a linen spinner, married on 6 May 1821 at St James in Toxteth, Liverpool, while residing in the parish of Walton-on-the-hill, Liverpool, to Margaret Kershaw. Six years later, a Paul Angus of Southowram, bachelor, employed as an overlooker, married on 30 Sept 1827 at St John the Baptist in Halifax, Yorkshire, England, to Jane Crowther, widow. Southowram is located about 2 km southeast of Halifax, Yorkshire, England. In 1841, at age 50, Paul Angus was residing in Halifax, Yorkshire, England with his wife Jane, age 50, and 30 year old, Mary Crowther. Paul was employed as a worsted weaver overlooker and born outside the county. A Paul Angus died in Sept 1847 in Halifax, Yorkshire, West Riding, England. Halifax is located about 10 km southwest of Bradford, which is where in 1861, Paul's cousin William Angus, Jr.'s widow resided with a John Crowther. It is not known if Paul Angus born in Over Wyresdale is father of the bastard child in Windle, the husband of Margaret Kershaw in Liverpool or the husband of Jane Crowther in Halifax or all of the above. The chronology fits such that these could all be the same Paul Angus, with no conflicting records. | Angus, Paul (I23432)

| 5327 | Penelope is not listed in Stewart Clan Magazine as one of the children of Charles Stewart and Polly Jones. De Graffenried records indicate that Penelope came from a very wealthy family and that they had 13 children only three of whom survived to adulthood. The rest are not named or recorded. After Penelope's death, General De Graffenried married secondly to Peggy McLemore and had ten children with her. | Stewart, Penelope C. (I17904)
|
| 5328 | Penelope Stewart At Greenwood plantation, her residence in West Feliciana parish, La., on Monday, Oct. 23, 1897, at 11 A.M. Mrs. Penelope Stewart widow of Chas. L. Mathews, aged 68 yrs, 11 mos, and 11 days. A native of Wilkinson County, Miss. Interment in Grace Church cemetery. Mrs. Mathews had not been in good health for several years, but there was no reason to apprehend any immediate danger and the final summons came as a great shock to her family and friends. She was taken ill suddenly in the night, and her physician, Dr. W. H. Taylor sent for, but before he arrived she had breathed her last. The cause of death was disease of the heart. Mrs. Mathews belonged both by birth and marriage to the most distinguished families of the parish, and in her sphere wielded a happy influence as a noble Christian woman. She was a double first cousin of Hon. Duncan Stewart, Mrs. J. B. McGehee and the others of that branch of the Stewart family. Herself a native of Wilkinson County, Miss., she had resided here ever since her marriage which was nearly half a century ago, and was identified with West Feliciana by every to of interest and affection. She became a widow in 1864, and though early called upon to face the cares and responsibilities which such a position entails, at a time, too, when civil war added to the gravity, yet admirably did she sustain it - caring for her property and rearing her children. She was the mother of seven children, four of whom are living: Messrs. Chas and George Mathews, Mrs. S. McC. Lawrason and Miss Sallie Mathews. These, the group of devoted grand-children of the Lawrason family, and one sister, Mrs. S. J. Fort, compose the members of her immediate family. They will mourn most deeply her departure hence the loss of one infinitely beloved. "They who go Feel not the pang of parting; it is they Who stay behind that suffer." The sad days, the long nights, troubled at first by the realization that a mother's tender love is removed from earth - so far - but bye and bye, to be comforted by the thought that the life beyond is made the richer and the more alluring to the dear ones by her presence there.

| 5339 | Peter and his wife Isabel began their family at the settlement of New Mill in Keith, Banffshire. Peter is recorded as being a merchant and a baker and seems to have begun to travel back and forth between Keith and the adjacent parish of Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Several of their children are recorded as being born in Huntley, while still being baptized back in Keith. Their last son, Andrew, is recorded as having been born on a farm named Raemurrack, near the village of Cairnie, halfway between the towns of Huntley and Keith. Peter immigrated in 1836 from Keith, Banffshire, Scotland to Oxford County, Ontario, Canada, sailing on the ship Hercules. He was preceded first by his son Alexander and secondly by his son James.

| 5341 | Peter Douglas Stewart, who went by Douglas, was born in 1904 in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada. He was the fourth generation of his family to live on the Stewart family farm in Puslinch since 1834. Douglas had the farm until at least 1958 and possibly a few years after. In 1911, Douglas was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, with his parents and brother. In 1921, Douglas was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, with his parents and brother. In 1935, Douglas was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, working as a farmer. On the Canada Voter List with him are his parents, his brother Donald, also listed as a farmer, his widowed aunt Margaret Stewart and her sons, Kenneth Stewart and John Stewart, both farmers, and her spinster daughter Helen Stewart. In 1940, Douglas was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, working as a farmer. On the Canada Voter List with him are his his parents, his brother, Donald Stewart, listed as a trucker, and Donald's wife, his widowed aunt Margaret Stewart and her son, John Stewart, a farmer, and John's wife, and her son, George Stewart, an aviator. In 1945, Douglas was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, working as a farmer. On the Canada Voter List with him are his parents. Douglas is listed first, ahead of his father, Neil, who was 73 years old, suggesting that Douglas had taken over the farm by this point. Also listed are Douglas' brother Donald Stewart, listed as a trucker, and Donald's wife, Douglas' widowed aunt Margaret Stewart and her son, John Stewart, a farmer, and John's wife, and her son, George Stewart, a soldier. In 1949, Douglas was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, working as a farmer. On the Canada Voter List with him are his parents. Listed separately are his brother, Donald Stewart, listed as a trucker, and Donald's wife. And in another separate listing are his widowed aunt Margaret Stewart and her son, John Stewart, a farmer, and John's wife. Douglas' father, Neil Stewart, died in 1954. It appears that Douglas inherited the farm at this time. In 1957, Douglas was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, working as a farmer, with his wife. Listed with him are his cousin John Stewart, a farmer, and John's wife, and John's mother, widow Margaret Stewart. Donald is listed separately as a truck driver. In 1958, Douglas was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, working as a farmer, with his wife. Listed with him are his cousin John Stewart, a farmer, and John's wife, and John's mother, widow Margaret Stewart. Donald is listed separately as a truck driver. In 1972, Douglas is not listed. Donald M Stewart and Donald N Stewart (his son) are both listed as truckers. Listed separately are his cousin John Stewart, a farmer, and John's wife. There is no record of Douglas and Ann having children. These records suggest that Douglas likely took over the family farm sometime in the early 1940s when his father would have been in his early 70s, and that Douglas held onto the farm until sometime after 1958. Douglas is not listed in 1972 and is presumed to have died between 1958-1972, and the farm passed out of Stewart family ownership at that time after about 130 years in the family. | Stewart, Peter Douglas (I18071)

| 5342 | Peter Ferguson, A Native of Balguider, Scotland, Died Aug. 5 1849, Aged 83 Yrs. - Prestonvale Cemetery, Lanark, Ontario, Canada. Peter allegedly arrived in Canada from Greenock, Scotland in Aug 1818 aboard the ship, Jane. It is not confirmed that Patrick/Peter Ferguson who married Margaret Stewart and had the family shown here is the same Patrick/Peter Ferguson who was son of Duncan Ferguson and Margaret MacGregor. However, both families are connected to Stronslany and Laggan in Strathyre, and both families had descendents who migrated to Lanark County, Ontario, Canada and are buried together. They are a perfect chronological match and a near perfect onomastic match. Thus, circumstantial evidence strongly suggests they are the same person. Proof is lacking. | Ferguson, Patrick (I5964)
