However if Prince Beodhe is the same person as Dufagan of Fife, then he would be the son of Kenneth MacDuff, making the legendary connection quite possible. | MacKenneth, Boedhe (I9200)

|
| 5419 | Properties: Baldorran, Duchlas in Dunbartonshire, Portnellan, and Lettir. Sir James was born after his father fled to Ireland in 1425 and before his father died in 1429. His mother's identity is not known for certain, but she is believed to have been a daughter of Eoin Mor Tanister MacDonald, Lord of the Glens of Antrim, son of John MacDonald, Lord of the Isles. James would have been no more than four years old when his father died. The Death of King James I and the Return of the Stewarts of Albany...sort of In March 1437, King James I was assassinated by Sir Robert Graham of Kinpont, and brothers Christopher and Robert Chambers, all former servants to the Dukes of Albany, and later servant to Walter Stewart, Earl of Atholl, younger brother of Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany. Walter was also convicted for participating in the assassination. The assassination created a power-shift in Scotland. As the newly crowned King James II was only 6 years old, Archibald Douglas, Earl of Douglas, was named as Regent. Douglas was an old ally of the Albany family. Isobel, Countess of Lennox, powerful grandmother of James Beag Stewart, was released from her imprisonment and seems to have worked to have all her illegitimate grandchildren brought home from Antrim, Ireland as quickly as possible. James Beag Stewart would have been about 11 years old at the time of his return to Scotland. On 12 May 1437, Isabella, as “Duchez of Albany and Countas of Leuenax,” issued a precept of sasine detailing that she granted a number of lands to her dearest “nevo” (most likely meaning grandson rather than nephew), James Beag Stewart of Albany, one of Sir James Mhor's children. The lands are not listed in the document. (Devlin) The date of this charter indicates that Isobel of Lennox was successful in bringing her grandchildren home within mere weeks of the King's assassination. Several sources indicate that James Beag Stewart was permitted to return to Scotland after a royal pardon, however we have found no evidence of any royal pardon. The charter above would seem to indicate that James, along with the rest of the Albany grandchildren, returned home because of the efforts of their powerful grandmother, Isobel, Countess of Lennox. As James was not born when his father was banished, he would have done nothing to need pardoning from. Thus, there should have been no impediment to his return to Scotland. According to Stewart Clan Magazine, James "was knighted by King James II." (SCM, Tome C, April 1934, vol. xi, no. 10, page 42.) James Beag Chooses a Quiet Life Unlike his Albany cousins, Sir James never sought legitimation for his birth, thus he was never restored to the royal succession, although he continued to style himself as "of Albany" for the rest of his life. (Devlin) There is no record of why Sir James never sought legitimation, but it could have been a way of assuring the king that he was no threat to the royal succession and, unlike his father, James Beag had no designs on the throne. The First Stewart of Balquhidder [Most accountings of this family (including our own old website) show Sir James Beag Stewart as being 1st of Baldorran, but not possessing lands in Balquhidder. It was previously believed that James' son, Sir William Stewart, was the first of this family in Balquhidder. Recent research by Gordon MacGregor (The Red Book of Scotland) and Shayna Devlin, PhD, have revealed documents showing that James was, in fact, the first Royal Baillie in Balquhidder and was granted lands there.] John Stewart of Darnley first conveyed the (western) half-part of the lands of Balindoran, in the Earldom of Lennox and the Sheriffdom of Stirling, by charter 10 March 1457 and, in which, he is styled as "natural son of the late James Stewart, Sir Murdoch Stewart’s son.” He had the rental of half of the Lordship of Balquhidder from the crown in 1463 and had a second charter from John Stewart of Darnley for the east half of the lands of Balindoran on 7 January 1464. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) There was also a charter "by John Stewart, Lord Darnley, to James Stewart of Albany, natural son of the deceased James Stewart, son of the deceased Sir Murdoch Stewart, sometime Duke of Albany, of the middle-part of the eastern part of the lands of Baldorane in the Earldom of Lennox and Sheriffdom of Stirling." Witnesses include: Andrew Stewart, Lord Avendale, Chancellor (James' first cousin). Dated 7 January, 1464. (RMS 1424-1513. No. 858) (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) Sir James married his first-cousin-once-removed, Annabel Buchanan, daughter of Patrick Buchanan, 13th of that Ilk. Her grandmother was Isabel Stewart, James' aunt. Sir James' son, Sir William Stewart, 2nd of Baldorran, acted as procurator to his father in a sasine to him for the lands of Balindoran on 17 January 1464 and succeeded him as Baillie of the Crown lands within Lordship of Balquhidder from which he received a payment from the Exchequer in 1467. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) This would indicate that James died between 1464-1467. It was previously believed that Sir William was the first Royal Baillie of Balquhidder in this family, however this entry would indicate that James was also appointed as Royal Baillie. Sliochd Tigh nan Eilean Stewarts of the South says the following about James, but it seems unlikely that an anecdote of this nature would survive 400 years. It seems more likely that this reference has been conflated with one of the later Jameses in the family, especially when this James' daughter-in-law was a Campbell. "James Beg of Baldorran in the parish of Campsie, Stirlingshire, was predecessor of the Stewarts of Ardvorlich, commonly called Slioch Toigh Nellain from a fortified island in Lochvenacher, Callendar Parish where James Beg usually resided and had different skirmishes with the Campbells and came off with success. Those Campbells are said to be of the family of Breadalbane which I think is not correct as the Breadalbane family had no branches and but little power at that time." - Stewarts of the South There is a small crannog island in Loch Venacher, called Portnellan Island, just offshore from Portnellan farm, which was held by a younger son of James Mhor Stewart, 4th of Balquhidder, the great-grandson of this James. The island shows signs of earlier fortification. Duncan Stewart (1739) writes: "James Stewart, son to Lord James, son of Murdach, Duke of Albany, is a frequent witness to charters granted by Isabel Dutchess of Albany, his grandmother, wherein he is designed, with the rest of his brothers (sic - he had no brothers, Duncan has confused his first cousins.), d'Albania, the title of Duke Murdoch their grandfather. This James, commonly called James Beag, or little, from his stature, or in contradistinction to his father, who was called James More, or great, is designed Filius naturalis Jacob Stewart, fitz Murdach Ducas Albania, in 1464, when he got from his cousin, John, Lord Darnly, a charter of the lands of Baldorran in Stirlingshire, dated at Stirling the 7th of January foresaid year, and is confimed by King James III the 12th of the same month. He married Annabel Buchanan, daughter to Patrick Buchanan of that Ilk, as evinceth a charter in his and the said Annabel's favours, of the lands of Duchlass in Dumbartonshire. This charter is granted by King James III likewise the same year. By her he had William, his son and heir, and Janet, married to William Stirling, a brother of the house of Keir, and first of the Stirlings of Lettir, as testifies a charter, granted by James beg Stewart of Baldorran to Janet his duaghter, by his wife Annabel Buchanan, of the lands of Lettir." And then later, Duncan Stewart (1739) adds: "Addenda - According to my account from Mr Crawford, I have said that James Stewart of Baldorran had a daughter, Janet, to whom he gives the lands of Lettir. But there is in the Record, lib 13, num151, a confirmation-charter to William Stewart of Baldorran, whereby he talzies the lands of Lettir (in the Lordship of Strogarthra, and shire of Perth, holden feu of the King, upon payment of sixteen shillings Scots yearly to Janet Stewart, his daughtger, by his wiife, Janet Buchanan, and her lawful heirs, which failing, to Agnes Stewart, his daughter by his foresaid wife, Janet Buchanan, and her lawful [illegible] heirs. The principal charter is dated at Stirling, the 4th day July 1493. Among the witnesses are, Alexander Stewart of Garchell, and James Stewart. And the confirmation under the Great Seal is dated at Edinburgh, the 5th of April 1494." Possessions James Stewart held the following lands: Baldorran Portnellan (on Loch Vennacher) Letter (in Port of Menteith) Duchlass (in Strathendrick) (Stewarts of the South refers to this place as Duchlage and says it was located in Roseneath, Argyll. However, documents below indicate that it was located in the Lennox not far from Baldorran.) | Stewart, James Beag of Albany and 1st of Baldorran and Royal Baillie of Balquhidder (I16621)

| 5424 | Pvt. James D. Stewart and Lucy McMillan in St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada Pvt. James D. Stewart, b. 4 Jun 1807, Dullater, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland , d. 9 Nov 1896, Harriston, Minto Township, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada (Age 89 years). James was the third child of Duncan Stewart Jr in Kirkline and Agnes McGregor shown above. James married on 12 Nov 1835 in Scotch Presbyterian Church, Dundee Huntingdon County, Québec, Canada to Lucy McMillan, b. 20 Jul 1817, Fassfern, Kilmalie, Argyll, Scotland , d. 26 Jul 1862, St. Anicette, Huntingdon County, Québec, Canada (Age 45 years). James D Stewat was born in Dullater on the south shore of Loch Venachar in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. His middle initial likely stands for Duncan, but we do not know for sure. In 1809, when James was two years old, his family moved to Kirkline on the Blair Drummond Moss in Kincardine-by-Doune, Perthshire, Scotland. The 1814 Moss Census shows James' parents, Duncan Stewart and Agnes McGregor, with their children: Alexander 14, Mary 9, James 7, Jannet 7, James (sic) 5, Archibald 3, and John 1. The fact that there are two children named James is likely an error (unless the second James was a nephew or other relative). Whether it was an enumerator or transcriber error, we do not know. In 1818, his family left Scotland and immigrated to St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. In 1825, James' father, Duncan Stewart is shown residing in a house with 11 occupants: 2 under the age of 6 (Charles 6 and Daniel 3); 2 between 6-14 (John 13 and Peter 9); 2 between 14-18 (Archibald 16 and Jannet 16); 2 males between 18-25 (Alexander and James D); one male over 60 (Duncan 50); one single female between 14-45 (Mary); one married female between 14-45 (unknown); and one married female over 45 (Agnes McGregor). Also residing in Dundee at the time was Robert Stewart with one child under 6, one male 18-25, and one married female between 14-45. Robert is of no known relation to Duncan. On 12 Nov 1835, James Stewart married Lucy McMillan in Dundee, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. James was residing in Godmanchester Township (which included St. Anicet), Huntingdon County, Quebec, at the time. The 1838 Muster Rolls for Capt. Patrick Buchanan’s Company, includes: Corporal Alexander Stewart, Pvt John Ferguson, Pvt Archibald Stewart, Pvt James Stewart, Pvt Peter Stewart. Capt. RB Somerville’s Company includes Pvt John Stewart. And the Dundee Local Militia 1838 paylist: Corp. Alexander Stewart, Corp. John Ferguson. In 1842, Duncan Stewart's widow, Agnes McGregor, was residing in Godmanchester (which included St. Anicet) where she is recorded in the census as "Widow Stewart" with 5 inhabitants in her home. Next to her was Alex Stewart with 7 inhabitants, Peter Stewart with 3 inhabitants, and James Stewart with 5 inhabitants. In 1851, at age 44, James Stewart, a farmer, was residing in St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada, with his wife, Lucy McMillan, age 36, and their children: Duncan 15, Ewan 11, Archibald 9, Agnes 7, Mary 5, Janet 2 In 1861, at age 54, James Stewart was residing in St. Anicette, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada with his wife Lucy and their children Hugh, Agnes, Mary, Jannet, Sarah Ann, Jane E M, and Catherine Lucy. James was employed as a farmer. They were residing next door to 75 year old Duncan McIntosh, born in Scotland, and his wife Catherine, age 67, born in Lower Canada. They had the following family living with them: Nancy Stewart, age 35, born in Scotland Nancy 10, born in Lower Canada, Duncan 9, Angus 6, Walter 4, Archibald 3, all born in Lower Canada. In 1871, at age 62, the widowed James D Stewart, a farmer, was residing in St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada, with his children Ewan 29, Archibald 27, Mary 23, Kenneth 21, Sarah G 18, Jane EM 15. Living next door was his son Donald G Stewart and his wife Catherine, with 65 year old Nancy Stewart. Family records indicate that James' wife Lucy died 26 JUL 1862 in St. Anicette, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. In 1871, at age 62, James D Stewart, a widower and farmer, was residing at St. Anicette, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada, with his adult children: Ewan (Hugh) and Archibald, Mary, Jeanette, Sarah A, Jane E M. Living next door is his son Donald and his wife Catherine along with 65 year old Nancy. Living three farms away is Alexander Stewart, 45, born in Quebec, Christy, 42, Angus 15, Norman 14, Annie 12, Jane 10, Muran? 8, Mary 7, Kenneth 5, Catherine 3. Minto Township records for 1867 show a James Stewart living on Concession 9, Lot 29, and owning his own home. It's possible this could be the same James in transition, or it could be a different James. Sometime between 1871-1881, James moved to Harriston, Minto Township, Wellington County, Ontario. In 1881, at age 74, James D Stewart was residing in Harriston, Wellington North, Ontario, Canada with his daughters adult Jennie and Sarah A. The census mistakenly records the daughters placed of birth as Ontario. James died 24 Nov 1896 in Harriston, Minto, Ontario, Canada. James Stewart is buried in Zion United Church Cemetery, St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. | Stewart, Pvt. James D. (I16611)

| 5435 | Reasearched by MJ Robbins: From Vermont Historical Gazette, Vol. V, pg. 180, pub. 1890: "...Major Simon Willard...emigrated to this country from the county of Kent in England. He is first mentioned as residing at Newton (now Cambridge, Mass.) in 1634, where he became acquainted with the situation of Concord, Mass., by trading with the Indians. He was one of the original purchasers of Concord and removed to that place as early as 1635, and became by his influence and the offices to which he was elected, the chief citizen of the town. In 1654, he received the commission of Major and was commander-in-chief of the forces of Massachusetts in Ninegret and Philip's wars. In 1660, he removed to Lancester [sic - Lancaster] and was at Groton in 1672. He died in Charlestown, Mass., April 24, 1676 [see following article]. He was a brave commander, a wise statesman, and a trustworthy man, retaining the confidence of his fellow citizens undiminished till the close of life. "Major Willard had three wives, 1st, Mary Sharp, 2d, Elizabeth, sister of President Dunster, of Harvard college, 3d, Mary Dunster [my ancestor], a relative of the second wife. By the first and third marriages, he had 17 children, 9 sons and 8 daughters, most of whom lived to marry and have families." From Dictionary of American Biography, Vol. XX, pg. 240, ©1936: "WILLARD, SIMON (1605 - Apr. 24, 1676 o.s.) ["o.s." means old style, referring to the incorrect calendar which was re-calculated in XXXX, after the discovery that it was off by eleven days. Thus, Simon's date of death would correctly be 5 May 1676, according to the modern accurate calendar.), colonist, fur-trader, the son of Richard and Margery Willard, was baptized at Horsmonden, Kent, England, on Apr. 7, 1605 o.s. Emigrating to Massachusetts in 1634, he settled at Cambridge, where he engaged in the fur trade. In 1635 he joined with Peter Bulkeley and others to establish the town of Concord. From this time until his death he was one of the leading men on the Merrimac frontier. At Concord he served as local magistrate and commanded the militia company. He represented Concord in the General Court from 1636 to 1654, except 1643, 1647, 1648, and in 1654 he was chosen assistant and served until his death. In 1653 he was made sergeant-major of the Middlesex regiment. His activities, both public and private, were closely associated with the Indian trade and the affairs of the frontier settlements. In 1641 he was appointed chief of a committee to carry on and regulate the fur trade, and in 1657 he and three associates farmed the trade of the Merrimac for £25. In 1646 and afterward he assisted John Eliot in his work among the Merrimac tribes. He was extensively employed by the General Court in Indian affairs, in locating and laying out land grants, in settling the bounds and regulating the affairs of the frontier towns. In 1659 he sold a large part of his Concord estate and removed to Lancaster, Mass. About 1671 he went to live in the southern part of Groton, now Ayer. "In 1654 he was appointed to command a punitive expedition against the Niantic sachem, Ninigret. On the approach of the English, Ninigret fled into a swamp, and the expedition ended in a parley. Disappointed at this inconclusive outcome, the commissioners of the United Colonies reproved Willard for failure to carry out their instructions. At the outbreak of King Philip's War, in spite of his advanced age, he took charge of the defense of the Merrimac frontier. His most conspicuous service was the relief of Brookfield on Aug. 4, 1675. Ordered thence to the Connecticut Valley, , he soon returned to Groton to defend the frontier towns from Chelmsford to Lancaster against the Indians gathered at Mount Wachusett. His duties included the placing of garrisons, the patrolling of the frontier with a party of dragoons, and the relief of threatened settlements. Called away by his duties as magistrate, he was absent when the Indians destroyed Groton in March 1676, but he arrived with a relieving force in time to assist in removing the inhabitants. His own house was destroyed and his family forced to remove to Charlestown. There, after further service eon the frontier, he died, 'a pious, orthodox man,' according to John Hull (diary in Archaelogia Americana: Trans. and Colls. Am. Antiq. Soc., vol. III, 1857, pg. 241). He was married three times, first in England to Mary Sharpe, second to Elizabeth, the sister of Henry Dunster, and third to Mary Dunster, either his second wife's sister or cousin. He had seventeen children, of whom Samuel, 1639/40 - 1707, was the most distinguished." | Willard, Simon (I20180)

| 5443 | Records conflict as to whether their children were born in Dublin, Ireland or Baltimore, Maryland, USA, or a combination of both. | Steuart, Mary Stevenson (I22362)
|
| 5444 | Records conflict as to whether this person's name was John or James Stewart. This confusion may arise from the fact that his eldest known son was James Stewart, 1st of Drumvaich, and his second known son as John Stewart, 2nd of Drumvaich. These persons may have become conflated as histories were passed on. According to the Kennedy-Annat Tree, John married Margaret Stewart, b: ABT 1675 in Inneschaoraich, Perthshire, Scotland, daughter of Alan Stewart, 2nd of Innischaoraich, a cadet branch of the Invernahyle Stewarts. According to the Kennedy-Annat Tree, Margaret Stewart was daughter of Allan Stewart of Innischaoraich who was, in turn, son of James Stewart of Innischaoraich. However, Stewarts of the South and the Invernahyle genealogy in The Scottish Journal both show that Allan Stewart, 2nd of Innischaoraich, was the son of Dugald Stewart, 1st of Innischaoraich, and the father of James Stewart, 3rd of Innischaoraich. Furthermore, according to The Scottish Journal, Margaret married James not John Stewart predecessor of Drumvaich. | Stewart, John or James Predecessor of Drumvaich (I17311)

|
| 5447 | Reginald joined in the rebellions against King John in the barons' war. Eventually King John aquiesced to Reginald's claims to the de Braose estates in Wales in May 1216. Reginald married a second time to Gwladus Ddu "the Dark", daughter of Llewelyn Fawr, Prince of Gwynedd. Reginald became Lord of Brecon, Abergavenny, Builth and other March Lordships but was very much a vassal of Llewelyn Fawr, Prince of Gwynedd and now his father-in-law. Henry III restored Reginald to favour and the Bramber estates (confiscated from William by King John) in 1217. At this seeming betrayal, Rhys and Owain, Reginald's nephews who were princes of Deheubarth, were incensed and they took Builth (except the castle). Llewelyn Fawr also became angry and besieged Brecon. Reginald eventually surrendered to Llewelyn and gave up Seinenydd (Swansea). By 1221 they were at war again with Llewelyn laying siege to Builth. The seige was relieved by Henry III's forces. From this time on Llewelyn tended to support the claims of Reginald's nephew John concerning the de Braose lands. Reginald was a witness to the re-issue of Magna Carta by Henry III in 1225. | de Braose, Reginald (I4081)

| 5450 | Regrettably Margaret died when the author of this project was only 7 years old so I never really knew my Aunt Margaret. Margaret, like her sisters, grew up on Gage Avenue in Hamilton and went to Delta High School. She met a navy serviceman, Bob Herdman, and they were married. Bob was then transferred to British Columbia. Bob and Margaret and their two children moved to BC in the late 1960s. It was in British Columbia that Margaret discovered she had breast cancer which required a mastectomy. Bob was unable to deal with his wife's cancer and the couple split up. In 1965 Margaret took her children and returned to Hamilton to be with Margaret's sisters. Meanwhile Bob Sr. was transferred to Nova Scotia. Margaret died two years later. | Angus, Margaret Hunter (I385)
