| 5701 | No birth record has been found for Robert. Robert's date of birth shown here is conflicts with his brother, William. It is likely an error. It seems more likely that he was born a year earlier. According to Harriet Brown (nee Jones) Robert Brown was married and moved from Hamilton to Detroit after which the Brown family lost touch with him. Harriet believed that Robert was born in 1879. Robert is listed in the passenger list for the ship Sarmatian in which Robert is recorded as being 11 years old on his arrival in 1888. This age conflicts with the ages of the other children, however few of the ages on the ship's list agree with other sources. Robert has not been found in the 1891 or 1901 censuses in Canada. Robert was married on 28 AUG 1908 in Windsor, Essex County, Ontario, Canada to sixteen year old Laura Deemer/Deemert of Avoca, Michigan, USA. Robert was 33 and is recorded as being the son of John Brown and Sarah Cook and was working as a molder and residing in Detroit, Michigan, USA at the time of his marriage. Laura lied about her age at the time of the marriage and said she was 20. Census records confirm her age as only 16. She was also 4-5 months pregnant at the time according to the age of her son on the 1910 census. Her surname at her marriage is recorded as "Deemer" but earlier census records and family trees record her surname as "Deemert." The wedding was witnessed by George Whitewill of Brantford (where Robert's brother Jim was living) and Olive Snelgrove, who appears to have been just the minister's wife. Robert is found in 1910 shown as b 1876 in Ireland, residing in Detroit with his 18 year old wife Laura and their 16 month old infant son, Robert L. Brown. Robert was drafted on 12 SEP 1918 for American military service in WWI. At which time he was residing at 310 Baker Street, Detroit, Michigan, USA with his wife Laura Estella Brown. His date of birth on his draft is given as 24 MAY 1875. He was employed as a crank-shaft straightener for Northway Motor & Manufacturing Company, 524 Maybury in Detroit (the engine manufacturing division of General Motors). In 1920 Robert and his family are still living in Detroit and Robert is working as a machinist in an auto factory. The names of his children remove any doubt as to the fact that he is the correct Robert. DNA evidence also confirms this relationship. Robert and his family have not been found in 1930, except son Robert L Brown who was in the Michigan State Prison. The marriage witness, George Whitewill is found in the 1911 census in Canada as follows: "George Whitwell, b 1866 in England, res 1911, ward 4 Brantford, accountant in a bank, imm 18*7 (illeg, may say 1907). Wife, Mary Elizabeth, b 1875 in USA of Scottish origins. Anglican." He appears to be no relation to the Browns and may have been just a friend of Robert's. According to Robert's granddaughter, Jan Mercier, Robert came to Windsor, Essex, Ontario, Canada with one of his siblings before moving to Detroit, Michigan, USA, presumably for employment. Family lore indicates that Robert and Laura were married by a relative in Windsor. Robert may have contracted malaria on the journey from Ireland. Allegedly, the lady who ran a boarding house he stayed at nursed him back to health. He stayed at a boarding house when he arrived in Detroit. Whether he stayed in boarding houses on two occaisions or whether details of two different times in his life have become blurred together is unknown. Family lore also indicated that he died of heart failure, and that he was a heart patient at Eloise Hospital in Westland, Michigan, USA. However, his death certificate inidcates that he died of complications from syphilis. The Eloise Infirmary was a full service hospital with its own farm, as well as being home to a notorious insane asylum that was reputed to be haunted. Most of the buildings have been torn down and there's a creepy graveyard full of unnamed patients, some marked with bricks inscribed with serial numbers. It is not beleived that Robert is buried there, although his burial place is unknown. -------------- No record has been found of Robert's birth. A record for a different Robert Brown son of JohnBrown a weaver, born 1876 in Portadown exists. | Brown, Robert (I1893)
|
| 5702 | No birth record has been found for Sarah Stewart. In 1841, at age 50, Sarah Stewart was residing in Callander Village, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with 60 year old Alexander Stewart, a coachman in Callander. They are suspected to be siblings, not spouses. Sarah Stewart has not been found in the 1851 census. In 1861, at age 70, Sarah Stewart was residing at #2 Bridge of Turk, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, working as a servant to the family of John McPherson and Janet Stewart. Janet Stewart is the daughter of John Stewart, shown here as the son of Alexander Stewart the coachman. | Stewart, Sarah (I28275)
|
| 5703 | No birth record has been found for Sarah. According to the 1891 census she was born in 1849. According to the 1901 census, she was born 20 Apr 1854. According to the 1911 census she was born in APR 1852. Her relationship order with her siblings suggests that she was mostly likely born between 1852-1854. These varying dates would have made her betwen 13-18 years old (more likely 13-15) when she married in 1867 to John Brown. As no record has been found for the birth of their first daughter, Ruth, it seems possible that Sarah may have been pregnant at the time of their marriage. A photo, dated 1916, shows Sarah in front of their house at 175 Wilson Street, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The informant at her death was her son James. It's interesting to note that he is recorded as residing at 80 Hess St. N. in Hamilton. So he must have returned to the city of Hamilton at some point to look after his mother. I wonder how his brother Tom dealt with his presence in the city, or perhaps this was prior to their falling out? | Cooke, Sarah (I2629)
|
| 5704 | No birth record has been found for Walter. According to Stewarts of the South, Walter Stewart was the second son of James "Black Sergeant" Stewart and Margaret Stewart in Lorrachan. Walter is estimated to have been born about 1758 based on the recorded births of his siblings. Walter is presumed to have been born at his parents' residence of Lorachan on the north shore of Loch Katrine in Upper Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. Walter Stewart's older brother, John Stewart, died young, thus Walter Stewart inherited the farm of Lorachan when his father died. It is not known when his father died. Stewarts of the South says: "Walter Stewart, [who is the] present tacksman of Lorachans & Edraleek [on] Loch Cathrine side [in] Callander parish [which is the] estate of Drummond. [Lorachans] was a lucrative tack from the Barons of Exchequer for a long time. [Walter had] two sons [who are both] minors. [He pays] rent £140." The author goes on to say, "Walter Stewart, present tacksman of Lorachans, keeps as hospitable a house as any tenant I know, and so did his father before." Walter Stewart is described in the Stewarts of the South Appendix as being a man of good character, but little more is known of his life. "No 3, Mr Walter Stewart, Tacksman of Edralecich and Lorachan, of the Glenbucky family, a good character, £140". (Walter's annual rent of £140 would be about £15000 in 2025.) On 24 Apr 1800, Walter Stewart married in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland to Elizabeth McDonald, daughter of Archibald McDonald in Monachyle and Margaret Stewart. Walter was likely in his early 40s at the time. Walter Stewart and his wife are found in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Brig of Turk Cemetery in Callander as follows: "Walter STEWART, 22 JUN 1822, wife E. MCDONALD, 16 MAY 1848, by son James tacksman in Edraleachdach." "At Edralechkach, Strathgartney, on the 22d ultimo, Mr Walter Stewart. To his family his death has occasioned the deepest affliction, and the regret of all who had an opportunity of appreciating his many virtues." (Inverness Courier - Thursday 18 July 1822) | Stewart, Walter in Lorachan and Edraleachdach (I17931)
|
| 5705 | No birth record has been found for William, but he is mentioned in his uncle's 1867 will. | McNiven, William (I10753)
|
| 5706 | No birth record has yet been found for Robert. He was the only known son of Duncan Stewart in Lochearnheard. According to Stewarts of the South, Robert was (relatively closely) related to Donald Stewart in Keip, however their exact relation is not given. It is unlikely that they were brothers, so, in the absence of other evidence they are presently shown as first cousins. Robert was once the innkeeper at Lochearnhead. He died prior to the writing of Stewarts of the South, ca.1815-20 and according to Stewarts of the South he "left two sons (who were) tacksmen of Ruinacraig, Strathyre, in Balquhidder on Cambusmore's estate." Robert Stewart married on 11 JUL 1771 in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland to Anna/Agnes (Una) McNab (her name is recorded all three ways.) | Stewart, Robert in Lochearnhead (I17783)
|
| 5707 | no children | Stuart, Right Hon. Sir Robert (I18089)
|
| 5708 | No children. | Thornton, Margaret Pearl (I18679)
|
| 5709 | No confirmed record has been found of George Stewart after his birth. If George Stewart had lived to adulthood then he would have inherited the family croft at Hythie. Thus it is suggested that George Stewart likely died in childhood. A possible matching George Stewart has been found in 1841, age 16, residing in Deer, Old Deer, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in the home of William Davidson, and working as a shoemaker's apprentice. However, this seems likely to be a different George. George Stewart was previously wrongly shown as migrating to New York, USA, marrying Margaret Terpening, and having a family there. However, that George Stewart is found in 1851 in New York, with his parents, James and Elizabeth Stewart, and siblings who do not match this George. All census records show that George born in New York. | Stewart, George (I15835)
|
| 5710 | No corresponding birth record has been found in the Callander OPR. Walter is named in the will of his uncle James Stewart, in Edraleachdach, in which he is described as "Walter Stewart... [a son to] my sister Margaret Stewart, residing in Callander" in which an allowance is to be given for his life sustenance. Walter is believed to be found in the 1861 census residing with his mother at 20 Main Street (Star Hotel) in Callander, age 17, incorrectly identified as "William Stewart" and shown with "no occupation (of weak mind)." A caution must be noted in that the Callander OPR shows a William Stewart b 17 MAY 1844 in Callander town, son of John Stewart and Margaret MacIntyre, who could be the William Stewart found in 1861. | Stewart, Walter (I17749)
|
| 5711 | No documentary evidence has been found to confirm Walter? Stewart's existence. Thus, he is named with a question mark. His father, Duncan Stewart, would likely have named his first son Walter after his own father. Duncan Stewart's will in 1710 mentions only two surviving children: John and Mary. Thus, it is presumed that Walter Stewart, if he existed, died in childhood prior to 1710. | Stewart, Walter? (I28915)
|
| 5712 | No documentary evidence has been found to show any son named Alexander. He is suggested for onomastics only. If he existed at all then he likely died young. | Stewart, Alexander? (I14489)
|
| 5713 | No documentary evidence has been found to support the existence of this Colin. He is suggested by onomastics only. If he existed at all then it is suggested that he likely died young. | McNaughtan, Colin (I10801)
|
| 5714 | No father's name is given on Lilly's birth registration. She is found in 1901 residing with her mother, Elizabeth, and her grandparents, John and Eliza Brown. Her mother died in 1903 leaving Lilly orphaned at age 9. She lived with her uncle Charles afterwards. In 1911 she is found living with her uncle Charles Brown. In 1912 she travelled to Holyoke, Massachussetts, USA, in the care of her uncle, James Wright, to stay with her aunt Kate Schoen. | Brown, Lilly (I20380)
|
| 5715 | No known descendants. | Ord, Agnes (I11887)
|
| 5716 | No known relation to other Browns in this tree. | Brown, Florence Agatha (I19991)
|
| 5717 | No marriage for Robert Ferguson and Janet Stewart has been found. | Stewart, Janet (I29746)
|
| 5718 | No marriage record has been found for Catherine Stewart and Duncan McIntyre, however their children's marriage records confirm that her maiden name was Stewart and she is found in three census records residing with her sister Margaret who is shown correctly as born in Argyllshire, Scotland. In 1851, at age 33, Catherine McIntyre was residing in Horton, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada, with her husband, Duncan McIntyre (39), and their children, John (6), Mary (4), Rachel (3), Robert (1). Also residing with them is her sister Margaret Stewart (22), born in Argyll, Scotland. Also, in 1851, at age 33, Catherine McIntyre was found residing in Renfrew, Ontario, Canada, in the home of her brother-in-law, Gregor McIntyre, and his mother Rachel McInytre (nee McGregor). Presumably she was visiting on the day of the census and was recorded in both places. In 1861, at age 42, Catherine McIntyre was residing in Horton, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada, with her husband Duncan McIntyre (48) and their children John (15), Mary (14), Rachel (12), Robert (10), Duncan (6), and Margaret (3). In 1871, at age 53, Catherine McIntyre was residing in Horton, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada, with her husband Duncan McIntyre (57) and their children, John McIntyre (26), Mary McIntyre (24), Rachael McIntyre (22), Robert McIntyre (20), Duncan McIntyre (15), and Margaret McIntyre (13). Also residing with them was her sister, Margaret Stewart (30). In 1881, at age 63, Catherine McIntyre was residing in Horton, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada, with her husband, Duncan McIntyre (68), and their son, Duncan McIntyre (23). Also residing with them was Catherine's sister, Margaret Stewart (52). | Stewart, Cathrine (I15190)
|
| 5719 | No marriage record has been found for Francis Stewart and Margaret McFarlane. John Stewart is their only recorded child. We do not have a transcription of John's birth to know if he might be illegitimate. It's possible, but unlikely, that he is identical to Francis Stewart in Wester Brackland. | Stewart, Francis (I28116)
|
| 5720 | No marriage record has been found for William Hutton. It is not known if his son, William Jr., was illegitimate. As such, it is not known if William Sr. died shortly after the birth of his son or merely had no role in the raising of him. | Hutton, William (I23193)
|
| 5721 | No marriage record has been found. Frustratingly, Margaret's death record gives her parents names as "___ Stewart and ____ Stewart." | Stewart, Margaret J (I17064)
|
| 5722 | No match for Ann's birth has been found anywhere in Scotland. | Stewart, Ann (I25514)
|
| 5723 | No match for Robina's birth has been found anywhere in Scotland. | Stewart, Robina (I25140)
|
| 5724 | No match has been found for Joan's birth anywhere in Scotland. | Stewart, Joan (I25501)
|
| 5725 | No matching birth record has been found for John Stewart in Comrie parish or any parish in Perthshire. He is presumed to have been born at Dunan. In 1814, at age 22, John Stewart was residing at #14 Summer's Lane, Blair Drummond Moss, Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings. Ca. 1815-1820, John Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as being a "merchant in Hamburgh". (Presumably in Germany, which had a strong trading relationship with the UK through the Hanseatic League. No further record of John Stewart has been found. | Stewart, John in Hamburg (I16561)
|
| 5726 | No one called him "James." His family called him "Leo" and his friends called him "Red" because of his hair color. | Mercier, James Leo "Red" (I20004)
|
| 5727 | No photo exists of Job Tasker. He was killed tragically in a wind storm in Merlin, Co. He went out to secure the barn door. The wind caught the door, which hit him on the head. His daughter Win recalls that he was killed instantly. She was about 8 years old when this happened. However, his death certificate indicates he lingered for ten days before dying. Attending physician was John C. Bell of Merlin. Death certificate also indicates that he was born on the same farm that he died on. | Tasker, Job (I19022)
|
| 5728 | No reasonable contenders for a marriage for Ann can be identified in the IGI. Perhaps she never married. | Stewart, Ann (I14568)
|
| 5729 | No record has been found of Allan's birth. His date of birth shown here comes from unverified online sources. It seems likely that it was extrapolated from his given age at death, but that could be off by a couple of years. Biographies of his son, The Hon. Sir Allan Napier MacNab of Dundurn Castle, show Lt. Allan MacNab as being born in England and say only that he was descended from the MacNabs of Dundurn, Perthshire. Some give his father's name as Robert. As Robert MacNab was 2nd of Dundurn then there isn't much margin for error here so we can be confident that Robert MacNab, 2nd of Dundurn, was Allan's father. In a letter from Dr. John Stewart, younger of Ardvorlich, in 1780, to his brother, William Stewart, 8th of Ardvorlich, uncles to Allan MacNab, he writes, "I hope my brother, Mr. McNab, and sister are well. I shall write you and him long letters next week when I hope my mind will be a little more at ease. I send with this a letter from Allan, who is really a promising boy." The letter was written at London, England, 24 October 1780. (Stewart, John, of Ardvorlich, The Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Vol. 2., p. 35.) However, in a later letter from William to John, William says, "I forgot whether I mentioned their names to you or not. Archy and Annie, you knew. The other three, I think, were born after you left the country. They are, Elizabeth, born in '79, James in 1780, and Margaret born in Jany 1784. about six weeks or two months before his ['Robert's] death." There is no mention of Allan. The Comrie OPR shows the marriage of Robert MacNab, 2nd of Dundurn, to Jean Stewart of Ardvorlich and shows the baptisms of their six younger childrenm. but there is no birth registration for Allan. If Allan's year of birth is correct then he was born three years prior to the marriage of his parents. No record of any previous marriage has been found so it would appear that Allan may have been illegitimate. Burke's Landed Gentry (LG19 I:951) gives Allan's mother as "Mary Stuart" with no further information on her. Some unverified on-line genealogies show Mary Stuart as a descendant of the Stuarts of Ardgowan, but we have found no evidence to support this claim. ElectricScotland shows Allan McNab's mother as Jean Stewart of Ardvorlich, but gives no evidence to support its claim either. Allan MacNab was a Lieutenant and served in the 3rd Dragoons, the 71st Highland Light Infantry, and the (Loyalist) Queen's Rangers. Allan immigrated to Newark, Ontario, Canada (then the capital of the province of Upper Canada and presently known as Niagara-on-the-Lake) where he served as the principal aide-de-camp to General Simcoe, 1st Governor of Upper Canada, and commander of the Queen's Rangers. Just prior to 1812, Simcoe disbanded the Queen's Rangers and moved his capital from Newark to "Muddy" York, Upper Canada (present-day Toronto, Ontario, Canada). The MacNab family moved with Simcoe to York. The Dictionary of Canadian Biography says the following about Allan MacNab: Allan Napier MacNab’s father had been a lieutenant in John Graves Simcoe’s 2nd corps of Queen’s Rangers which saw action in the American revolution. Put on half pay, he settled in York (Toronto) where he was denied further military preferment and a high civil placement. A sometimes bankrupt Allan MacNab struggled on the fringe of Upper Canada’s Tory society. Marion MacRae's MacNab of Dundurn (1971), says "John, fifteenth Chief of MacNab, supported the House of Hanover, but an old Clan history states that many MacNabs fought for Prince Charles Edward under the leadership of cadet cheiftains, one of whom was Allan MacNab of Dundurn. The same history records that at this time, one of the MacNab ladies of Kinnell, that is of the chielfly family -- married MacNab of Dundurn." MacRae later states that this Allan MacNab was the father of Capt. Robert MacNab of Dundurn, who "was writing letters to Colonel Archibald MacNab, brother of John, fifteenth Chief, whom he addressed as his uncle, and informing him that he had sent money to "the boy" in Canada. This Allan is "the boy." | MacNab, Lt. Allan (I9392)
|
| 5730 | No record has been found of Duncan Stewart's birth, however, he is identified in Stewarts of the South as a younger son of Duncan Stewart in Blarcrioch, and a younger brother to Robert Stewart in Summerline. Stewarts of the South says, "Duncan, his (Robert's) brother, now dead, left three sons [who are all] minors in Flanders Moss [on] Blair Drummond’s estate. His wife nursed a child to Blair Drummond and hath been the means of supporting his family." The 1814 Blair Drummond Moss Census reveals four Duncan Stewarts about the right age to be this Duncan Stewart. However, all of those entries have been accounted for in other families. This is not suprising as Stewarts of the South says that Duncan was deceased at the time that document was written circa 1815, so it's likely that Duncan was already dead when the Moss census was conducted a year earlier in 1814. Stewarts of the South says that Duncan left three minor-aged sons in Flanders Moss. No entry has been found in the 1814 Blair Drummond Moss Census that shows a family with three orphaned Stewart sons. Thus, so far, we have been unable to identify Duncan's family in any public records. | Stewart, Duncan in Blair Drummond Moss (I15571)
|
| 5731 | No record has been found of his birth. His suggested birthdate is a best guess. Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "Alexander Stewart, 12th of Glenbucky, succeeded his brother and sold the lands of Glenbucky to his brother-in-law, John Stewart of Benmore. He died of consumption with no children." John Stewart, 2nd of Benmore, was not only brother-in-law to Alexander Stewart, 12th of Glenbuckie, but they were also 3rd cousins, through the marriage of John Stewart, 9th of Glenbuckie, to Janet Stewart of Ardsheal. Alexander's older brother, Duncan, died sometime between 1752-1756, at which time Alexander inherited Glenbuckie. We do not know exactly when. John Stewart of Benmore sold Benmore on 6 Mar 1756 and purchased Glenbuckie from Alexander presumably immedately following. That tells us that Alexander was still alive at that point but probably didn't live much longer. | Stewart, Alexander 12th of Glenbuckie (I14623)
|
| 5732 | No record has been found of John Stewart's existence, thus he is shown with a question mark. It is nearly certain that his father (being himself John, son of John) would have had a son named John, however no record of such a John has been found. But, there is no record of the births of most of the children of John Stewart and Janet McInstalker as the Buchanan parish register is incomplete and difficult to read for the period of the late1600s. There is no record of this John Stewart having married or had children in Buchanan parish. Nor is this John Stewart found in the Buchanan Parish Examination Rolls that begin in 1717. As Duncan Stewart, son of John Stewart and Janet McInstalker continued in the lands of his father in Arrachie, then it seems most likely that if this John Stewart existed at all, he either moved elsewhere or died young. | Stewart, John? (I30959)
|
| 5733 | No record has been found of John's birth, however his parents were fined in 1791 for an earlier clandestine marriage. They were residing at Lochearnhead, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland at the time. John's year of birth is calculated from his age at time of death. His location at birth is suggested to be Lochearnhead where his parents resided in 1791. According to Cameron family records, Catherine Stewart, daughter of Donald Stewart and Isobel McGregor, married Duncan Cameron, and were the parents of John Cameron who married Helen Ferguson of Kipp, Balquhidder, and had nine children born at Glenbeich, Balquhidder. Documentary evidence is lacking to support the Cameron/Stewart connection, however the claim seems probably true. The Stewarts were from Dalveich, next door to Glenbeich, and multiple autosomal DNA connections exist between descendants of the Camerons and this Dalveich line. The Camerons immigrated to Canada in 1831. Research has eliminated the possibility of a marital connection between these families post-immigration, thus the connection must earlier than John Cameron and Helen Ferguson. Thus the connection suggested here, though not proven, becomes more than plausible, in fact probable. However, the far more likely marriage for John's parents is the following which is a perfect onomastic match and chlose chronologically: "1777, Decr 26th, Contracted Hugh Cameron in the parish of Killin and Margaret Stewart in this parish. dues 3 sh ster." (Balquhidder OPR) In 1851, John's family was residing in Caledon, Peel, Ontario, Canada, without him as he died three years prior. In the house was Widow Cameron, 64, Scotland, Baptist Hugh Cameron, 36, Scotland, Baptist Donald Cameron, 29, Scotland, Baptist James Cameron, 26, Scotland, Baptist Mary Stewart, 20, Canada, Free Church Nearby is Duncan Cameron, 34, Scotland, Baptist, Farmer Catherine Cameron, 23, Scotland, Baptist Eleanor Cameron, 6, Canada Catherine Cameron, 4, Canada Mary Cameron, 2, Canada Donald McFarlane, 50, Scotland, Church of Scotland, Farmer Isabel McFarlane, 57, ditto Mary McFarlane, 45, ditto | Cameron, John (I22075)
|
| 5734 | No record has been found of John's birth. It is estimated to have been around 1705 and presumably occurred at his family's estate of Annat, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland. Duncan Stewart (1739), a contemporary of John Stewart, says, "Alexander, now of Annat, married Isabel Fullerton, daughter to Mr John Fullerton of Greenhall, Bishop of Edinburgh, by whom he had John, his son and heir, Duncan, a surgeon, who died in the East Indies, and several daughters." MacGregor says, "John Stewart, 5th of Annat, succeeded his father although his lands being heavily burdened by debts, he mortgaged them to William Wilson, Writer at Murrayshall, from whom they were redeemed on 3 January 1763, and afterwards disponed to his cousin David Stewart of Ballachallan. He served in the Perthshire Horse of the Jacobite army of 1745/46 and is generally believed to have [died without children]." John's rank in the Jacobite army is not known. Strathallan's Perthshire Horse, in which John served, was lled by William Drummond, 4th Viscount Strathallan. It was the Jacobite army's first cavalry unit, consisting of 36 gentlemen and their servants, including John Stewart of Annat. Their main role was to scout ahead of the army as it advanced into the Lowlands. Strathallan is located southwest of Kilmadock parish, encompassing the lands around Dunblane and Bridge of Allan. Following the end of the Jacobite Risings, James Stewart of the Glen, the accused in the Appin Murder, travelled through Kilmadock on route to the trial and stayed at the homes of prominant Jacobites, including John Stewart of Annat, who was later called upon as a witness in the Appin Murder trial. "James Stewart [of the Glen] stopped for the night at Lanrick.... He slept the next night at the neighbouring house of Annat, a little to the north of Doune, where he was the guest of his Stewart clansman. The Stewarts of Annat were loyal supporters of their Royal namesakes. Probably it was John Stewart, the son of the house, who was James' host, as John had to appear subsequently at the trial as a witness, although he was not called to give evidence." (Morris, Robert Louis Stevenson and the Highlanders, p. 101.) Stewarts of the South describes John as, "The last of them was a great drunkard, but was very mindful of his two sisters to see them in Stirling for they were much supported by Gen. [General] Stewart of Boblach [Powblack] (a.k.a. General Robert Stuart of Rait) and by the profits of a tack they had of the farm of Offrans of the forfeited estate of Perth, now Sir Patrick Murray’s property." Stewarts of the South also mistakenly credits the sale of Annat to John's father, Alexander: "Alexander Stewart of Annat sold the estate to David Stewart of Balchallan." When it was, in fact, this John who sold the estate. Copy Instrument of Sasine in favour of John Stewart fifth of Annat dated 16 June and recorded in the particular Register of Sasines at Perth on 15th August 1752 proceeding upon his possession of said lands by the said last mentioned Alexander Stewart fourth of Annat in favour of the said John Stewart his son in fee dated December 1751.

|
| 5735 | No record has been found of Robert Stewart's birth as it occurred around the time of the commencement of the Balquhidder parish register and was likely not recorded. Stewarts of the South describes Robert as having resided in Blarcreich. OPR baptism data shows he also resided in Lednascridan and Stronvar Beg. Robert married on 4 May 1728 in Balquhidder and 28 May 1728 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland to Christian Stewart (with Robert of Balquhidder parish and Christian of Callander parish). | Stewart, Robert in Blarcrioch and Lednascriddan - 5 Line (I17781)

| 5736 | No record has been found of William's birth in Ireland. Possibly residing in 1901 in Middlesex North, lodging with the Clemens family, working as a farm labourer, immig 1888. Possibly the same William Brown: William Brown, 29, Irish, toolmaker ~~~ engineer, and wife Jean Brown 27, entered Detroit, Mich, USA, MAR 1909, from Hamilton, ON, brother of Charles Brown of 29 Stinton St, Hamilton ON, bound for ~~~ Michigan. (no marriage record found) (Note: This is almost the exact same time that his suggested cousin, Robert Brown, moved to Detroit.) The following birth fits for a possible second marriage for William's father, but would have made him a bigamist.

| 5737 | No record of Alexander's birth has been found. As he was likely born a few years prior to his illegitimate sister, Catherine, it's most likely that Alexander was either illegitimate himself or the product of a prior marriage which has not been recorded. Dr. Alexander Stewart is recorded in Stewarts of the South as a son of James Stewart in Inverlochlarig Mor and as: "Alexander, [a] surgeon at Bo-ness in a respectable way, and who has a large family." Bo'ness is in Midlothian. | Stewart, Doctor Alexander MD in Bo'ness (I32287)

The children's names of Andrew and Elison are found in both families. After James died, his widow, Mary, and daughter Elison returned to Kirkintilloch for the remainder of their years. | Gow, Benjamin James (I6727)
|
| 5739 | No record of John Stewart's birth has been found. He is only found in the 1871 census with his parents.

No other record of John has been found. | Stewart, John (I28194)

(Not to be confused with another Robert and Catharine Stewart who were married in Balquhidder in 1788, with that Robert being from Kincardine parish.) In 1776, Lednascridan was leased from the Commisioners of Forfeited Eastates jointly to John MacLaren Sr., John MacLaren Jr., Patrick Stewart and Robert Stewart.
