| 5461 | Research on Duncan John Stewart and his family was conducted by Barbara Neal. (https://geneal4real.wordpress.com/2016/03/31/duncan-john-stewart-1797-1829-and-lillias-buchanan-1800-1886-of-scotland/) Duncan John Stewart was born October 25, 1797 at Balfron, Stirlingshire, Scotland. His parents were Alexander Stewart from Stirlingshire, “Ci’divarel [formerly] Footman to her late Majesty Carolina Mathilda Queen of Denmark”, and Ann Stewart or Stuart of Callander, Perthshire. Duncan had an older sister, Caroline Matilda Stewart (1794-1882) and possibly another sister, Mary Stewart (b. 1795). He is sometimes referred to as a school teacher. Duncan John Stewart's father is described in Stewarts of the South as having one son who was "reared up and educated" by his uncle John Stewart. Duncan was only12 years old when his father died. On 3 May 1825 in Glenorchy, Argyll, Scotland, Duncan John Stewart married Lillias Buchanan in her home parish. Their marriage was also registered on 5 May 1825 at St. Andrew's in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland, where Duncan John Stewart was residing. In the Edinburgh Banns he is described as a shopman. Lillias Buchanan was born about 1800 at Glenorchy, Argyllshire, Scotland. Her parents were Duncan Buchanan, a farmer, and Marjory “Maizy” Fletcher. This area of the Highlands was sparsely populated, and the records are also somewhat sparse. From Maizy’s will, we gather that Lilly was the eldest daughter. Also mentioned are: Duncan, the eldest son, John, Ann, Angus, Hugh, Mary, Margaret, Catherine, Marjory, and Peter. There are also two other possible siblings born in Perth: Alexander and Patrick. After their marriage, Duncan John and Lilly Stewart lived in Edinburgh in the New Town area. This was a high-end planned neighborhood that today is the city center and home of trendy shops and restaurants. Duncan owned a successful fruit and tea shop at 35 Hanover Street. His customer list serves as a de-facto census of the neighborhood. Then suddenly on July 20, 1829 Duncan John Stewart died from apoplexy. He was only 31 years old. The place of his death is listed as 22 Thistle Street, which now has the name Stewart House. At that time there was a tenant named Donald Stewart, a tailor and perhaps a relative. 1829 - Death of Duncan John Stewart, age 32, at Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. He had three daughters. Only the eldest, Ann “Agnes” Stewart m. John Browne, had children. Upon Duncan John Stewart’s death, Lilly was left with two small daughters and a baby on the way, and a business to dispose of. Shortly after Duncan John Stewart’s death, Lilly and her daughters went home to Argyllshire. Joanna Stewart was born in Appin in late 1829 or perhaps early 1830. I don’t have any records for them until the Census reports. Lilly’s father, Duncan Buchanan died in 1838. In the 1841 Census, Lilly’s mother, Marjory Buchanan was living with brother, Angus’ family on a farm in Appin. I haven’t found Lilly or the girls in 1841. Part of the problem is that the ages in 1841 were rounded down. Also, the birthplace question was “born in this county, yes or no,” which is not helpful in many cases. The girls would be either in school or working. Whatever the case, Lilly is missing in action records-wise until the next census. In 1841, Lilias Stewart at 28 Jamaica Street in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland, as a widow with two children, Ann (14) and John (12, sic, should be Johanna). 1851 Census of Barony Parish, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, 166 W.

Cause of death was “Decay of Nature.” Okay, I’m at an age where I can appreciate that. The informant was Maggie Buchanan, a niece, who was present when Lilly died. Duncan John Stewart's burial record in St. Cuthbert's Cemetery, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland, reads, "Stewart, Duncan John, fruiterer, from 22 Thistle Street, died the 21st, aged 31 years, was interred here on the 23rd, lies six feet S. from Thomas Smith's headstone." (All the nearby stones record their location in reference to Thomas Smith's headstone. There appears to be no familial significance.) https://geneal4real.wordpress.com/2016/03/31/duncan-john-stewart-1797-1829-and-lillias-buchanan-1800-1886-of-scotland/ ----------------------- Testament Dative and Inventory of umquhile Duncan John Stewart Dated 18th September, 1829. The first thing is the description of Duncan as “umquhile,” which means “late” or “deceased.” It is attested by James Gordon, Thomas Ford, George Ross and Charles Ross, Esquires, Commissaries of Edinburgh and written by Peter Crooks, W.S. (Writer to the Signet), who was the attorney. It names Lilly Stewart, relict (widow), as his Executrix and states that on 11th September, 1829 she supplied the personal inventory and debts that totaled £160.5.½ (pounds, shillings, pence) Sterling, summarized as follows: First - Proceeds of stocks and effects sold in the shop on Hanover Street on the thirty-first day of August = £97.2.9 Second - Shelving in the shop not disposed of in sale, but by private bargain = £2.0.0 Third - Debts due to the defunct per list herewith presented = £41.3.2½ Fourth - The deceased household furniture valued by George Anderson, appraiser in Edinburgh = £7.0.0 Amount of estate is £167.5.11½ Sterling - signed Lilly Stewart and George [???]. clerk of the Commissary Court of Edinburgh. The inventory document starts with a sworn statement by Lilly that to the best of her knowledge and recollection, Duncan John Stewart, fruiterer of Hanover Street, owed no outstanding debts and that the total value of his estate is between one hundred and two hundred pounds. Then is presented the list of “Debts Supposed Good” numbered 1 - 78, with names, street addresses and amounts = £37.17.11½, followed by a list called “Debts Supposed Doubtful”, numbered 1 - 11 = £13.1.½, discounted value = £3.5.3 and finally a list of “Debts Supposed Bad”, numbered 1 - 7 = £3.3.3½ “and worth nothing” Total value of debts = £41.3.2½. | Stewart, Duncan John (I25271)

| 5473 | Rhoda's marriage to Robert Henry "Harry" Davies was witnessed by Thomas Davies and Rhoda's sister, Sarah Annie Liptrot. Rhoda and her husband Harry immigrated to Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada in 1913, following a few years after many of Rhoda's siblings. Rhoda and Harry and their three children saled on the SS Grampian on March 7, 1913. Their party included: Robert ("Harry") Davies, 36, employed as a waterman and intending to be employed as a labourer in Canada, Rhoda 34, Sarah 10, Harry 8, and Edith 2. All were shown as born in England and bound for Hamilton, Ontario. Also travelling with them were: John Davies, 19, born Wales, bound for Saskatchewan, employed as an assistant surveyor, and George Davies, 25, born England and heading to Anglis, Saskatchewan, Canada to work as a farm labourer. It is not known if John and George Davies were related to Robert "Harry" Davies. The party arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada on 17 March 1913. | Liptrot, Rhoda (I8950)

| 5474 | Rhodri Mawr ("the Great") succeeded his father as Prince of Gwynedd and acquired the kingdom of Powys from his mother, then he added the kingdom of Seisyllwg by virtue of his marriage to Angharad. As such, he brought together three of the largest Welsh kingdoms. Yet he faced severe difficulties from Viking raids and was eventually forced into exile in Ireland. He returned a year later and was killed in battle against the Mercians. His kingdom was divided amongst his three sons. | Merfyn, Rhodri Mawr ap (I11291)

| 5475 | Rhys made himself master of Deheubarth after Rhys ab Owain's death in 1078. He came to terms with William the Conqueror and paid homage. Henry Tudor, King Henry VIII of England claimed descent from Rhys ap Tewdwr (pronounced "Tudor"). Henry VIII also claimed that Rhys ap Tewdwr was a descendant of the legendary King Arthur, although such a descent has never been proven. If so it would make all descendants of Rhys ap Tewdwr also descendants from King Arthur. | Tewdwr, Rhys Ap (I19344)

|
| 5479 | Richard Evan Jones was born on 6 Nov 1879 in Manchester, England, or "Dick" as he was known, but grew up in nearby Bolton. The Jones family were staunch Methodists and were very active in their church. Dick's daughter Harriett recalled the name of the church as Ulswater or Allswater Street Methodist Church. No such church has been found, however, in 1891, the Jones family were living in All Souls parish. It's possible that "All Souls" was mistakenly remembered as "Allswater." Dick sang tenor in the church choir which is where he met his future wife Annie Liptrot who was as a "beautiful contralto" in the choir. Dick was very musical and also played the flute (as does his namesake great-grandson, Richard Brown). In 1881, at age 18 months, Richard Evan Jones was residing in Harpurhey, Manchester, England, with his parents and siblings. In 1891, at age 11, Richard Evan Jones was residing at 16 Baythorpe Street in Little Bolton, Lancashire, England, in All Souls parish. He was a student and was residing with his parents and siblings. In 1901, at age 21, Richard E. Jones was residing at 94 Grasmere Street in Little Bolton, Lancashire, England, with his parents and siblings. He was employed as a bricklayer, as were his father and brother Daniel. (Living 3 houses away at 91 Grasmere, was James Morris, 49, born in Risley, Cheshire, a cotton spinner, with his wife, Sarah I (or J), age 47, born in New Wells, Derbyshire, and their children: Mary E, 16, Anne E, 14, Ada A. 13, Charles H., 8. And father Thomas Morris, age 74, born in Horwich, Lancashire.) According to their daughter Edna, they lived at 345 Blackburn Road in Bloton, Lancashire, England. In 1903, at age 24, Dick suffered from pneumonia, according to his later military record. On 30 Mar 1907, Dick Jones arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, on the Empress of Britain, having departed from Liverpool, England. His wife and daughters were not with him. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Empress_of_Britain_(1905) ) Their daughter Hilda Jones recalled her mother saying it was April Fool's day, while Hilda's sister, Harriet Jones, recalled it being in March. A Liptrot family photo was taken in March 1907 just days before Richard and Annie left for Canada. They were the first of the Liptrot clan to emigrate and were followed shortly by Thomas and Elizabeth Liptrot. Upon arriving in Hamilton, Dick and Annie stayed with a family named Bryers. It is not known how they were connected with the Bryers. In Canada, Dick became more than just a carpenter and bricklayer. He began taking contracts to build houses and became moderately prosperous as a building contractor and owned his own private contracting company. Dick built many homes in the present Aberdeen area of Hamilton, including the home that his family eventually moved into on Maple Avenue (now Maplewood) near Gage Park. Many of those houses still stand today. The family were very active in Ryerson Methodist Church (later Ryerson United Church) and Dick did the brickwork when the present sanctuary was built in 1915. Dick played piccolo in a drum and bugle corps in Hamilton and sang regularly in the choir at Centenary Methodist Church and Ryerson United Church in Hamilton. I911, at age 32, Dick Jones was residing at 505 Wilson Street in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, with his wife and their three daughters. Also residing with them was Dick's brother, William Jones, born 1871 in England, and William's son, Arthur Jones, born 1892 in England. Also residing with them was Eick's brother-in-law, James Pillings, born 1877 in England, and lodgers Elizabeth Morris, b 1861 in England, and Hilda Morris, b Mar 1870 in England. (The census is extremely blurry and the dates for the Morrises may be wrong.) On 1 Apr 1916, at age 37, Dick enlisted as a Private in the 205th Battalion Canadian Expeditionary Force. He resided at 220 Maple Ave in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, and was employed as a builder at the time. On 6 May 1916, Pvt. Dick Jones was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. On 31 Oct 1917, at age 38, Sgt. Dick Jones was transferred to the No. 2 Special Service Company, Machine Gun Corps. On 3 Jan 1918, at age 39. Sgt. Dick Jones was discharged from military service for "special conditions" which appear to be related to medical conditions. He was diagnosed with chronic pleurisy (inflamation of the lining of the lungs) and a weak heart valve. These caused shortness of breath and dizziness on exertion. He served entirely in Toronto and never shipped overseas. In 1921, at age 41, Dick Jones was residing at 220 Maple Ave. in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, employed as a brick layer and contractor. He was residing with his wife, their three daughters, and Dick's 73 year old father, John Jones. On 2 May 1926, when Dick was age 47, his wife Annie died prematurely at the age of 46 leaving Dick to raise their three daughters, ages 16, 19, and 22. He was also caring for his widowed father, John Jones, who had immigrated a few years after Dick and Annie. Dick's mother died at sea on the voyage to Canada. In 1931, at age 51, Richard E Jones was residing at 220 Maple Ave in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, with his daughter, Hilda. He was employed as a brick layer and was listed as an employer in the building industry. Dick died in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, although his death certificate indicates that he resided in Hamilton and had only been visiting in Kingston for four days at the time of his death. It's not known who he was visiting. | Jones, Sgt. Richard Evan (I8376)

| 5481 | Richard Sprigg Steuart was born in 1797 into a slave-owning family and went on to be a slave owner himself. He was a doctor and was a pioneer in the field of mental health. He was relieved of his medical position at the outset of the American Civil War for refusting to sign an oath of loyalty to the Union. He became a fugitive smuggling medical supplies to the Confederate army. After the war he was restored to his former position and retained the family estates. Richard Sprigg Stewart, was raised at the family mansion of Maryland Square in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. He was a teenager when the War of 1812 broke out. He volunteered with a local militia unit. After the War of 1812, Richard began studying law, but by 1818 had switched his academic focus to medicine and graduated in 1822. He began a general medical practice, but soon began to specialize in the underdeveloped field of mental health. "Steuart's brother, Major General George H. Steuart, had two sons who suffered from mental illness. It is possible that circumstance was one of the causes of Steuart's particular interest in the treatment of mental illness." (Wikipedia) In 1834, Richard was appointed president of the Maryland Hospital for the Insane, in which capacity he occasionally worked in cooperation with social reformer Dorothea Dix to improve mental health care in Maryland. He also ovesaw a major expansion of the hospital facility, the construction of which was delayed by the onset of the Civil War. By the 1840s, Richard was being appointed to several positions of distinction for his pioneering work in mental health, including a professorship at the University of Maryland. Richard's hypocritical position on slave ownership In 1838, Richard inherited from his uncle William Steuart a large portion of the family estates including Dodon, Obligation (formerly belonging to his brother David) and Bridge Hill (formerly belonging to his brother Charles), comprising 1600 acres and 150 slaves, making him a very wealthy land owner and major slave owner in the state of Maryland. Richard, like his brother George, and their father, sat on the board of the Maryland branch of the Americal Colonization Society, a purported "benevolant" organization that claimed to favour "voluntary" abolition and believed that former slaves' rights as American citizens should be be violated and that they should be sent "back" to Africa (even if they were American born, as most were) in order to "protect" them from white oppression. What they really wanted was to reduce the risk of losing the slaves they still had. Their willingness to violate the rights of freed people and their later willingness to go to war against their fellow citizens to preserve the institution of slavery belied any supposed benevolent motivation they claimed to have. Richard spoke out of both sides of his mouth on the issue of slavery. He proclaimed to be opposed to slavery and to admire the greater economic prosperity of the abolitionist states, yet was articulate in his desire to ensure that the USA remained a nation for white people. In 1845, he wrote both a critique of the institution of slavery and also a defense of the "repatriation" agenda of the American Colonization Society, in which he claimed that white people will never willingly "degrade" themselves to work alongside "inferior" black people. Rather than advocating that white people learn to care for and respect their fellow human beings, he and others in the ACS advocated for their removal from the country of their birth and shipping them to a foreign country that they had no connection to: On one hand, while being one of the largest slave owners in the state, he wrote: "is there a man in Maryland, is there a single man connected with slavery who does not feel its existence to be a curse upon our beautiful land?" Yet, he also wrote: "It is a matter of common observation that white laborers will not settle where slaves occupy the soil, however partially they may do so among free negroes. The white man shrinks from a union of labor with those who are regarded by their masters as an inferior race, and gradually he comes to regard labor itself as degrading, and fit only for those whom heaven has stamped with a color darker than his own." [Therefore] "The colored man [must] look to Africa, as his only hope of preservation and of happiness." (Wikipedia) When it came time to put his beliefs into action, at the outbreak of the American Civil War, he chose to forfeit his medical practice in Maryland, refusing to sign an oath of loyalty to the Union, in favour of supporting the Confederate defense of slavery. His brother, George, fled to the south to become a general in the Confederate army, while Richard remained in Maryland illegally supplying horses from his Dodon estate and medical supplies to the Confederate army, for which he was forced to become a fugitive in hiding for much of the war. The 1860 Census Slave Schedule shows Richard Sprigg Steuart owning 111 slaves just prior to the outbreak of the Civil War. After the war, in 1868, Richard was rewarded for his disloyalty and reinstated to his presidential position at the Spring Grove Hospital (formerly the Maryland Hospital for the Insane) and oversaw the completion of the construction he'd begun before the war. Despite his key role in the construction of the hospital he is memorialized in name nowhere on the hospital grounds, perhaps because of his devotion to the Confederate cause of slave ownership.

| 5483 | Richard was born in Little Bolton, in 1844 and baptized in 1845. He had barely turned 18 years old when he married 17 year old Sarah Crook in 1862. They had seven known children together, however the fact that they were married in 1862 and their first two known children were born in 1864 and 1870 suggests there may have been other early children for whom no record has been found and who did not survive. They lived in Little Bolton, Lancashire, England. Richard had various jobs in the cotton mill throughout his life in England before coming to Canada. Most of Richard and Sarah's children immigrated to Canada. In 1901 Richard was widowed and living with his son James. Richard was working as a fried fish shop assistant. | Liptrot, Richard (I8931)

| 5498 | Robert Bruce Stewart was the son of David Stewart, a lawyer and land surveyor from London, England who purchased between 67-70,000 acres of land on Prince Edward Island, Canada, in contravention to local land-ownership laws (see notes on Robert's father, David). Robert later moved to PEI to act as a resident landlord for his father's lands, and on the death of his father, Robert inherited the lands. However, (as described in Duncan's notes) these lands were purchased in contravention to Canadian law that required land owners to physically occupy and begin to develop their lands within one year of purchase or forfeit their lands to the crown. The aristocratic legislators on PEI declind to enforce these laws. During Robert's lifetime, the disgruntled and impoverished tenants of PEI put pressure on their provincial legislators to enforce these laws. Robert Bruce Stewart organized and headed a landlord coalition to oppose the tenants and enforce the landlords' rights to land ownership. But by 1875 the provincial legislature passed the Land Purchase Act and Robert was forced to sell all but 500 acres of his property. He kept his residence, located, just west of Charlottetown, which he named Strathgartney after his family's ancestral residence in Perthshire, Scotland. Robert Bruce Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as "a character, who is proof against all disappointments and adversities." Robert is described in an article which is believed to have come from Stewart Clan Magazine although the original reference has been lost: "In 1846, Robert Bruce Stewart, David's son, sailed for P.E.I. and settled there as resident landlord. He built a fine house named Strathgartney, apparently after an ancestral home on the shore of Loch Katrine. Descendants of Robert Bruce Stewart occupied Strathgartney until about 1950. The house has now been restored to its original period and is operated as a museum by a private company. "From a brochure circulated by Strathgartney Enterprises Ltd., Charlottetown, P.E.I., 1968. ". . . Strathgartney Homestead was built in 1846 ? 47 by Robert Bruce Stewart, son of David Stewart of Perthshire, Scotland, who received grants of land, totalling over 70,000 acres in P.E.I. David Stewart visited his property in 1831, and in 1846 his son settled as Landlord at Strathgartney.... In 1875, when the Land Purchase Act was passed, Robert Bruce Stewart retained the 500 acres which is today Strathgartney Homestead. . . . the Stewart family continued to live here until 1955, when the Hon. W.F. Allen Stewart, a long?time member of the P.E.I. Legislative Assembly, died.... " Robert Stewart's obituary: "Mr. Stewart has, for many years, occupied a place among the prominent gentlemen of our province. Since his large estates were purchased by the Government, his name has not figured so extensively in public documents as formerly; but on account of the high family to which he belonged, his means and his scholarly attainments, his decease leaves a blank in our community which cannot be easily filled."

| 5499 | Robert Bruce Stewart, Jr., is found in 1871 residing with his parents. He is not found in any later census records and is presumed to have died between 1871-1881. A matching death record is shown here for a Robert Stewart born in June 1865 and died in 1872. This death is an ideal match but is not confirmed. | Stewart, Robert Bruce Jr. (I18144)

| 5500 | Robert de Bruce V was a legitimate contender for the crown of Scotland after the untimely death of King Alexander III. Robert's claim was declined by King Edward I of England in favour of John Baliol, who became King of Scotland, vassal of England. John Baliol was Robert's first cousin once removed. There is some confusion as to how many Robert Bruces were in succession. Some sources have this Robert Bruce as being married to Isabel "the Scot" of Huntington, whereas other sources have this Robert Bruce as the son of Robert Bruce and Isabel "the Scot", and married to Isabel de Clare. With both father and son having the same name and mother and wife having the same first name, it's easy to see how confusion would arise. | de Bruce, Robert (I4109)
