| 5858 | Showing John Fraser as the son of Simon Fraser is purely speculative. It is believed that Simon Fraser was the first known Fraser in Scotland and that all subsequent Frasers descend from him. Based on this belief alone it is suggested that John Fraser MAY have been his son, although no documentary evidence exists to support such a supposition. | Fraser, John (I6262)

|
| 5862 | Simeon LeRoy dit Audy was born in Creances Normandy. Simeon settled first in the fief or seigneurie of St.-Joseph or L'espinay, Charlesbourg, near the Charles River which belonged to the Hebert- Couillard de L'espinay family in Quebec, Canada in October 1668. He was a master carpenter. The census of 1681 shows Simeon LeRoy and his wife Claude and their 8 children as residents of Montreal. Simeon's last appearance in the records of Montreal was at the time of the burial of his daughter Marie on May 21, 1681. The next appearance of Simeon on any public record found so far is in Albany, New York (which was then part of New France) when on November 28, 1682 he apprenticed his son Augustin, age 11 to Adam Winne to learn rope making for 6 consecutive years. Sometime between may 1681 and November 1682 Simeon took or sent his second son, Jean, to St. Joseph, Charlesbourg to live with his godfather, Jean Giron and took his wife and most (if not all) of their young children to Albany, New York in the United States. In or before 1689 he moved to Kingston, Ulster county, New York (which was then part of New France). In 1689 he rented a house that belonged to Jochem Hendrickse. Simeon fell on hard times in his old age which is proved by the fact that on March 1, 1708 the trustees of Kingston gave him a pair of shoes and a load of wood and paid for the burial of his wife. It is thought that Simeon died soon after his last mention in the Ulster County tax list of 1710. Simeon was a Roman Catholic but his children became protestants and married protestants. The first 9 of the 11 children of Simeon and Claude were born in Quebec. The two youngest were born in NY, probably Kingston, Ulster Co. (© Lorine McGinnis Schulze, OliveTree Genealogy) As Simeon married one of the "Filles du Roi" (see notes on his wife) it is likely that he had served as a soldier in the army of King Louis XIV. | Le Roy-dit-Audy, Simeon (I8751)

|
| 5880 | Sir Walter Stewart inherited the office of High Steward of Scotland upon the death of his father in 1309. Sir Walter was the sixth hereditary holder of the office. Sir Walter was a first-cousin to Elizabeth de Burgh, second wife of Robert The Bruce. Sir Walter distinguished himself in his loyalty to King Robert the Bruce in the Scottish Wars of Independence. Robert The Bruce rewarded Sir Walter with the hand of his daughter, Princess Marjorie Bruce, in marriage. (Marjorie was a daughter by King Robert's first wife, and no relation to Sir Walter Stewart.) At the age of 21, Sir Walter Stewart fought against the English at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 where, according to some sources, together with Douglas, he commanded the left wing of the Scots' army. According to other sources, because of his youth and inexperience, he was merely the nominal leader of one of the Scottish schiltrons, while the effective leader was his cousin James Douglas, Lord of Douglas. For his services at Bannockburn, Walter was appointed Warden of the Western Marches and was rewarded with a grant of the lands of Largs, which had been forfeited by King John Balliol. In 1316 Walter Stewart donated those lands to Paisley Abbey. Following the liberation of Queen Elizabeth de Burgh and Princess Marjorie Bruce from their long captivity in England, Sir Walter Stewart was sent to receive them at the border and conduct them back home. Sir Walter was likely chosen for this important task because of the high trust King Robert placed in him, but also because he was Elizabeth's cousin. Sir Walter later married Marjorie, receiving the Barony of Bathgate in Linlithgowshire as part of his wife's dowry. During the absence of King Robert the Bruce in Ireland, Sir Walter Stewart and Sir James Douglas managed government affairs and spent much time defending the Scottish Borders. Upon the recapture of Berwick-upon-Tweed back from the English in 1318, Sir Walter took command of the town which subsequently, on 24 July 1319, was besieged by King Edward II of England. Several of the siege engines were destroyed by the Scots' garrison whereupon Sir Walter suddenly rushed in force from the walled town to drive off the enemy. In 1322, with Douglas and Thomas Randolph, he made an attempt to surprise the English king at Byland Abbey, near Malton in Yorkshire, but Edward escaped, pursued towards York by Sir Walter and 500 horsemen. (Wikipedia) Sir Walter resided at Bathgate Castle in West Lothian, Scotland. The castle was the caput of the barony of Bathgate. The castle was part of the dowry of Marjorie Bruce, daughter of King Robert the Bruce, upon her marriage to Sir Walter Stewart, High Steward of Scotland in 1314. Sir Walter died there in 1327, and the castle appears to have been abandoned afterwards. | Stewart, Sir Walter 6th High Steward of Scotland (I18406)

They played a notable part in the victory of Kilsyth, but John was captured after unsuccessfully defending Montrose's own Castle Kincardine. He escaped under a sentence of death in Edinburgh and led 300 clansmen to crushing defeat at Worcester on 3 September 1651. John survived the battle but died not long afterwards, killed by marauding members of the Commonwealth army. (Other accounts claim he died at Worcester.) John's exact birth year is not known, but he was old enough that in 1612 he was able to lead his four brothers and other MacNabs in the attack on the McNieshes. | MacNab, John "Smooth John" (I9337)
