| 5551 | Mormaer Maol Domhnaich (sometimes anglicized as Maldoven) was the son of Mormaer Ailín II, and ruled Lennox 1217-1250. Like his predecessor, Ailín II, he showed absolutely no interest in extending an inviting hand to oncoming French or English settlers. He has, moreover, gained a reputation amongst modern scholars as being one of the more conservative Gaelic rulers in thirteenth century Scotland. Despite that, he seems to have remained loyal to his royal overlord. There is no evidence that he participated in any of the western-oriented rebellions which were so frequent in the era. The Mormaer even sent his son Maol Choluim with the king's expedition to Moray in 1232. He was also a witness to the treaty between King Alexander II of Scotland and his brother-in-law Henry III of England at Newcastle in 1237, concerning the much disputed northern counties of England.[1] Nevertheless, in 1238 Alexander distrusted him sufficiently to remove the Castle of Dumbarton from his control, giving the Scottish king an important foothold in the Mormaerdom. As part of the same act, Alexander II regranted the Mormaerdom to Maol Domhnaich as a military fief, indicating perhaps that the Mormaerdom's prior status was ambiguous. He married Beatrix, the daughter of the High Steward of Scotland and had two known sons (Maol Choluim and Donnchadh), and one daughter. Maol Domhnaich's reign came to an end with his death in 1250.

| 5554 | Most promising birth: 30 DEC 1787, Buchany, Kilmadock, Perth, Scotland son of Alexander Stewart and Janet McKinlay. James and his family are not found in 1841. In 1851 there is a James Stewart, b. 1828 in Kilmadock, residing in Calton, Lanark with his parents James & Catharine both aged 48. There is only one James Stewart born in Kilmadock with parents James and Catharine 1820-1840 and that being James Stewart son of this couple. Thus it would appear that it must be the right son, James. But the parents James and Catharine are far too young to have married in 1812. Thus, it seems that the ages of James Sr. and his wife Catharine must be either incorrectly recorded or transcribed. | Stewart, James (I15953)
|
| 5555 | Most sources show Walter as the second son of King Robert II, However, Oram shows Walter as the eldest son, which makes more sense onamstically. Walter married to Isabella, Countess of Fife. She had inherited the earldom just a year before when her father died. Walter died before they had any children. Her father-in-law, the king, convinced her to surrender her earldom to the king's next son, Robert Stewart, Earl of Menteith. | Stewart, Walter Lord of Fife (I17904)

According to the 1873 Family Tree, Helen married firstly to a Dochert and had a daughter Mary who married a McIntyre and moved to Canada and had children: Mary, Duncan, John, Peter, Helen. Helen married secondly to a McGregor and had children John and Christina and resided on the Blair Drummond Moss. Her second family are easily identifiable in the 1814 Blair Drummond Moss Census, showing her husband as Malcolm McGregor. It says they came from Balquhidder and had been settled on the Moss for 10 years.. They owned 1 cat, 1 chicken, 2 cows, 1 horse, 1 harrow, 1 plough, and 1 cart. Her marriage records in Balquhidder and Kincardine both indicate that she was from Balquhidder and Malcolm was from Kincardine. | Stewart, Helen (I15669)

| 5595 | Multiple secondary sources give his birth as 30 Jul 1907, however he was baptized in August 1906, so the later sources must all be incorrect. On 6 Jul 1929, at age 22, Harry Pilling married in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA, to 23-year-old Hazel M Tisdale. Three years later, on 15 Aug 1932, in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA, Hazel successfully petitioned for divorce on the grounds of "extreme cruelty and non-support." Harry did not context the divorce. On 18 Nov 1939, in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, Harry Pilling married to Nora Patricia Gow. ON 25 Nov 1944, Harry and Patricia moved to Blaine, Washington, USA, and were naturalized as US citizens. They later moved to Clairmont, Los Angeles, California, USA. | Pilling, Harry V (I12210)

| 5597 | Murdoch Stewart and Isobel of Lennox were married in 1392 and he was captured in 1402. In these ten years they had five children making James' estimated birth date shown here reasonably accurate. Sir James Stewart was the fourth son of Murdoch Stewart and Isolbel of Lennox. In Gaelic he was referred to as Seamus Mhor. He has been recorded in many places as James "The Gross" Stewart. We believe this nickname is an incorrect translation of his Gaelic nickname "Mhor". "Mhor" means "big, large, or great." We suspect that "Mhor" was at sometime rendered in Norman French, probably as "Le Gros," which means "large", but could easily be mistranslated into English as "The Gross". James is also referred to as James "The Fat." Thus we believe the correct translation of James Mhor Stewart should be "Big" James Stewart. Little is known of James' early years. until 1424 when King James I was finally released from captivity in England and returned home. King James I had most of the Albany family arrested in August of 1424, including James Mhor Stewart's father and mother, two brothers, and his maternal grandfather. James Mhor managed to escape capture and fled into his mother's lands of the Lennox in western Stirlingshire where he attempted to raise an army in rebellion. James Mhor's rebellion was put down by the King's forces, but not before James Mhor burned the town of Dumbarton to the ground killing the governor of the castle, his great-uncle, Sir John "The Red" Stewart, Sheriff of Bute. Unfortunately this action sealed the fate of James' father and brothers and they were all executed on 24 May 1425. King James also had several captured supporters of James Mhor hanged, drawn and quartered with their quarters put on display in chains in what was left of the town of Dumbarton. James Mhor Stewart retreated deeper into the Lennox lands around Loch Lomond, taking over Inchmurrin Castle, a Lennox stronghold. On 8 June 1425 the king's forces under Lords Montgomery and Kilmaurs recaptured Inchmurrin. Again, James Mhor escaped. This time he fled to Antrim, Ireland, taking with him the infant illegitimate children of his late brother, Walter Stewart of Fife. "In 1426, Parliament passed an act principally concerning the western portion of Scotland towards Ireland in which ships going from Scotland to Ireland needed the king’s deputy’s permission. The reason for this [included] that a known rebel, James the Fat, was given shelter in Ireland likely with the MacDonalds of Antrim, relatives of the MacDonald Lords of the Isles, and contact with him may endanger the king." (Devlin) Devlin cites the Irish Annals of the Four Masters in an entry from 1429 recording James’s death which reads: “James Stuart, son of the king of Scotland [sic], and Roydomna of Scotland, who had been banished from Scotland to Ireland, died, after the arrival of a fleet from the men of Scotland to convey him home, that he might be made king.” Roydomna is a copying error for Roydamna which likely derives from the Irish Gaelic Ri-dama, which means "King's relation" and was a term used to designate the heir to the throne. Devlin notes that in 1429 King James I still had no male heir, thus, with the execution of the rest of the Albany family, James Mhor really was first in line to the throne but for the fact that he'd been banished and stripped of the family's lands and titles. On 10 May 1429, James was granted safe passage from England to Ireland by Henry VI. (The Rotuli Scotiae, ii, p. 265.) This could be evidence that James had been in England conversing with King Henry VI, perhaps seeking support for an attempt for the throne. It also indicates that James' death took place after the tenth of May that year. Duncan Stewart's 1739 genealogy says that James had relations with "a lady of the family of the McDonalds." The case for this mystery Lady MacDonald being the daughter of Eoin Mor Tanister MacDonald, Lord of the Glens of Antrim, is circumstantial, but persuasive. The Parliamentary decree (above) indicates that James was being sheltered by the McDonalds of Antrim. The Annals of the Four Masters (above) refers to James as a Prince of Scotland and next in line for the throne. Thus, he would only be paired with a daughter from the most powerful MacDonald family in Antrim, which would be the family of Eoin Mor Tanister MacDonald, younger brother of Donald MacDonald, 2nd Lord of the Isles. Eoin and Donald's mother was Princess Margaret Stewart, sister of Robert Stewart, late Duke of Albany, making Eoin MacDonald and James Mhor Stewart first-cousins-once-removed, suggesting that James Mhor sought shelter with a close relative. Eoin had long been in rebellion against his brother Donald, Lord of the Isles. In 1411, Donald MacDonald, Lord of the Isles, attacked Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, seeking claim to the Earldom of Ross. Eoin MacDonald of Antrim joined the army of Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, against his brother, the Lord of the Isles. Thus, Eoin MacDonald of Antrim was already a committed ally of the Albany Stewarts and had fought alongside James Mhor Stewart's grandfather. Some records indicate that Lady MacDonald came from the family of the Earls of Antrim, an office which was not created until 1603, but was bestowed on a descendant of Eoin Mor Tanister MacDonald, making that an anachronistic reference to the same family. James Mhor Stewart and Lady MacDonald had two children, James Beag Stewart and Matilda Stewart. (Weir and others including Duncan Stewart (1739) list seven children, mistakenly including the illegitimate children of Walter Stewart of Fife who fled in the care of James Mhor.) As noted above, James Mhor Stewart died in 1429 just as a fleet was arriving to take him back to Scotland to challenge for the throne. | Stewart, Sir James Mhor of Albany (I16169)

| 5598 | Murdoch Stewart and Isobel of Lennox were married in 1392 and he was captured in 1402. In these ten years they had five children making the estimated birth date shown here reasonably accurate. After the death of his elder brother, Robert, in 1419, Walter became the eldest surviving son of the Albany family. As heir apparent to his father, Murdoch, Duke of Albany, this made Walter third in line for the throne -- a position he clearly desired for himself. In the negotiations of 1423, leading up to the release of Walter's cousin, King James I, Walter argued against the release and the peace treaty with England that would accompany it. Shortly after James' return to Scotland, Walter and a couple of his loyal followers were arrested by the King. Walter was executed with his father and brother Alexander in 1425. See notes for father. The children of Walter of Fife are confirmed by Gordon MacGregor as follows (from personal correspondence): Letters of Legitimation passed through the Great Seal on 28 August, 1472, in favour of 1. Andrew, Lord Avendale, 2. Arthur Stewart, therein styled as his brother and 3. Walter Stewart, also styled therein as brother to Andrew, Lord Avendale. (RMS 1424-1513. No. 1066, 1067 and 1068) On 3 September, 1472, Andrew Lord Avendale, Chancellor of Scotland, had a charter following his own resignation for the Lordship of Avendale to himself and his heirs male, whom failing, to Arthur Stewart, his brother and his heirs male, whom failing, to Walter Stewart, his brother and his heirs, whom failing by the King and his successors. (RMS 1424-1513. No. 1076). Charter by Andrew, Lord Avendale, for the lands of Kepdowry, in the Earldom of Lennox to John Haldane of Gleneagles. Witnesses include Walter Stewart of Morphy, brother of the said Andrew. Dated 2 April, 1482. This conclusively proves that Walter Stewart, 1st of Morphy, was the brother of Andrew Stewart, 1st Lord Avendale, and is therefore identical with the Walter who was Legitimated on 28 August, 1472. Charter by Isabella, duchess of Albany, countess of Levenax, Inchedavanow, to Colin Campbell, kt, laird of Glenurchay, by reason of his marriage to Marion Stewart, daughter of deceased Walter Stewart of Albany, granter's son, of lands of Feorlyng More and Feorlyng Natara of Kangerlouch, and lands of Mame Beg and Mame More in granter's earldom of Levenax, sheriffdom of Dumbertane, to be held by said Colin and Marion and their legitimate heirs, whom failing, to Andrew Stewart of Albany, kt, granter's grandson, son of said deceased Walter, with proviso that all thieves convicted there are to be hanged on the duchess's gallows at Faslane. Dated 4 October, 1440. Witnesses include: Arthur Stewart, granter's grandson. (GD112/25/2) That Andrew and Arthur Stewart are identical with Andrew, Lord Avendale, and his brother Arthur is quite certain as both appear together in numerous documents. Their exact relationship to James Stewart, 1st of Balindoran, can be deduced from the following; 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 : Andrews Stewart, Lord Avendale, Chancellor. Dated 7 January, 1464. (RMS 1424-1513. No. 858) | Stewart, Sir Walter of Fife (I17945)

| 5599 | Murdoch Stewart and Isobel of Lennox were married in 1392 and he was captured in 1402. In these ten years they had five children making the estimated birth date shown here reasonably accurate. Alexander was executed with his father and brother Walter in 1425. See notes for his father, Murdoch Stewart, 2nd Duke of Albany for information on the execution. | Stewart, Sir Alexander of Kinclevin (I14714)

| 5600 | Murdoch Stewart and Isobel of Lennox were married in 1392 and he was captured in 1402. In these ten years they had five children making the estimated birth date shown here reasonably accurate. Isabella married Walter Dhu Buchanan, 12th Laird of Buchanan. The Buchanan family remained allies to the later descendants of the Albany Stewarts. Andrew Fleming Hutchinson, in his book, The Lake of Menteith (1899), mistakenly shows her as the daughter of Sir James Mhor Stewart of Albany, rather than his sister. | Stewart, Isabella (I15725)
