 #   Notes   Linked to 
5901 Some sources show William Stewart married to Margaret McMean of Glenartney. I follow MacGregor as shown here. Comrie, Janet of that Ilk (I2893)
 
5902 Some unverified online genealogies allege that John Stewart moved to Lochtayside Kenmore, Perthshire, Scotland, where he was Ground Officer and Factor to John Campbell, 2nd Earl of Breadalbane. This is a plausible appointment as the Ledcreich Stewarts appear to have been allied at the time to John Campbell, Earl of Argyll and Marquis of Lorne, cousin to the Earl of Breadalbane.

These same genealogies allege that he was the father of Peter Stewart, born 1775 in Loch Tayside, Kenmore Parish, Perthshire, Scotland, died 14 DEC 1857 in Breadalbane, Glengarry, Ontario, Canada, who married Christian McLean. This connection has now been ruled out by Y-DNA. 
Stewart, John (I16901)
 
5903 Sometime before 1881, William moved to Glasgow with his family, where he was employed as a chief engineer. Tait, William (I22684)
 
5904 Son of Alexander Secondus Monro and Katharine Inglis.

Esq of Softlaw

David was the husband of Sophia Home, married 1803, and father of George, Alexander and Isabella.

Secondly, he married Isabella Blair, the second daughter of the late Right Honourable Robert Blair, of Avonton, Lord President of the College of Justice.They were married after 1806 (possibly 1813?) and was the father of Isabella Cornelia Munro Binning and Robert Blair Monro Binning.

Lived at Inverleith House, Midlothian. (Find A Grave) 
Binning, David Munro of Softlaw (I877)
 
5905 Son of Captain John C. Cage and Thankful Morgan, grandson of Major William Cage and Elizabeth Douglass
----------------------------------------------------------
He was a lawyer and politician in Mississippi. In 1833 he represented Pike County in the State Legislature. By 1836 he had moved to Woodville, Mississippi where he practiced law in the firm of Cage and Scudder. He formed a second partnership with Horatio F. Sirmall in April of 1839, and in November of that year he was elected Judge of the 3rd Circuit Court, which was the seat his Uncle Harry Cage served on. He was re-elected to this seat in 1841. In 1845, he chose not to run for re-election, and established a cotton plantation in Fort Adams, Mississippi. He continued his Woodville law practice with his brother Benjamin, and he remained active in politics, serving as a representative to the State Democratic Convention in 1853 and the Democratic Legislative Committee in 1855.

He also apparently was a party in a duel in the early 1840s. In the book The Woodville Republican, Volume 7: January 5, 1892-December 28, 1895, on page 49, there is an abstract of an article about the death of Colonel Frank Ruffin in Virginia. The article "recalls a duel which occurred between that gentleman and Judge C. C. Cage, father of Messrs W. C. & J. D. Cage, early in the forties, to which the former was seconded by messrs W. L. Brandon and St. John Liddell and the latter by Messrs Jones and Noland Stewart. Mr. Ruffin fired before the word, wounding Judge Cage, not dangerously however; the forfeit of his life was claimed by Noland Stewart and tendered by Mr. Ruffin, but the premature firing was so evidently unintentional that the penalty was not exacted. These gentlemen were all men of mark and distinguished citizens; of whom Colonel Ruffin was the last survivor." (FindAGrave) 
Cage, Charles Claiborne (I24028)
 
5906 Son STEWART b: ABT 1700 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland.

Stewarts of the South shows 3-Line of the Stewarts in Tulloch descending in an unknown manner from the progenitor of the family. Given that there are only three lines of this family and that 1-Line and 2-Line are shown as sibling lines, then, in the absence of other evidence, it makes sense for now to account for 3-Line as a first-cousin line. Thus we are showing Robert Stewart and Duncan Stewart of 3-Line (below) as first cousins of Dougald Stewart in Tulloch (1-Line, above). 
Stewart, "Three Line" in Tulloch (I18290)
 
5907 Sophia and her family lived in New York, USA, and elsewhere in New England and travelled overseas. Nothing more is known of them. (Nelker) Steuart, Sophia Elizabeth (I14653)
 
5908 Sophia inherited the lands of Ballachallan, Annat, and Argaty on the death of her father. With her marriage to David Munro Binning the lands of Annat, et al, passed out of the hands of the Stewarts. Several of her uncles tried unsuccessfully to sue for the estate. (MacGregor)

Home-Stewart, Sophia Heiress Ballachallan Annat and Argaty (I7902)
 
5909 Sophia Stuart was a descendant of the Stewarts of Beath. Stuart, Sophia (I18832)
 
5910 SOS refers to as Iain Riach Mor, or "Big John of the flailed skin" (possibly a reference to battle wounds). SOS says that John lived at Camusbarron near Stirling and that he was "a very good soldier". He had three sons about whom nothing is known in addition to the John shown here. Stewart, John Riach Mor (I17315)
 
5911 SOS shows only two sons for this family so it is presumed that James died young. Stewart, James (I16415)

5934 Sources conflict as to the correct mother for Elizabeth Mure of Rowallan. Another source lists her as Joan Cunningham, while another lists her as Jannet Mure of Fokeltie. Mure, Janet (I11644)
 
5935 Sources conflict as to the origins of this Robert Comyn. The preferred source claims he came from Comines, Flanders with William The Conqueror. Another source says he was born in Morayshire as the son of John Comyn. The former explanation seems more likely. de Comyn, Robert (I4335)
 
5936 Sources conflict as to whether Daniel was born in Ontario (Canada West) or in the United States. Swears, Daniel (I18911)
 
5937 Sources conflict as to whether John was the son of James Stewart or his brother Samuel Stewart. Both men married the same woman. Jared Olar believes the common wife is the source of the confusion. Severence shows John as the son of Samuel Stewart. Olar shows him as the son of James. Olar has access to more sources, thus his accounting is preferred. Stewart, John? (I24488)
 
5938 Sources conflict as to whether she moved to either Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA or Washington, DC, USA. It is not known if they had children. (Nelker) Steuart, Ann Mary (I14710)
 
5939 Sources conflict over Catherine's birth place. The majority give "Ontario" (and specifically "Woodstock" in one case) while one gives Scotland (which is presumed to be an error for her husband's place of birth) and in later census records two of her children say Catherine was born in Pennsylvania, while another says Missouri. Given that her next youngest brother, Hiram, was born in DEC 1832 in New York, USA, and her younger siblings appear to have been born all in Norwich Township, Oxford County, Ontario, Canada then it seems most likely that Catherine was born in the USA and came to Canada as a very young child. Whether she was born in New York, like her brother, or Pennsylvania or Missouri as her children allege, is not known. Her birth family has not been found in earlier American census records. Cunningham, Catherine (I3126)
 
5940 Sources conflict over her surname. It's possible she was married previous to George and that one surname is her birth name and the other could be a first married name. Lawson, Gwendolyn Hannah Or (I8750)
 
5941 Sources conflict over her surname: Merrick or Flew. It's possible that she was previously married and one name is her maiden name and the other her married name. Merrick, Olive (I11294)
 
5942 Sources conflict over Katharine's first name. Duncan Stewart (1739) records her name as Katharine Murray of Buchanty, while Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions transcribes the gravestone as saying Barbara Murray of Buchanty. The fact that they had a daughter named Barbara lends support to Mitchell's version. However Duncan Stewart is supported by the fact that their infeftment document for the lands of Port of Lochearn (St. Fillans) on 14 November 1620 gives her name as Katharine. The gravestone is not original and is a compliation stone with ten generations of names inscribed on it. The stone is now unreadable. It's possible that the engraver made an error with the stone or that Mitchell's transcription is in error. The earlier records are preferred. MacGregor follows Duncan Stewart (1730). We follow MacGregor.

Duncan Stewart (1739) refers to Katharine as the daughter of Robert Murray of Buchanty of the family of Abercairny, and notes "Sir William Murray of Abercairny consenting." This might imply that there was some issue around the consent of the Murray family for Katharine to marry James. 
Murray, Katharine of Buchanty (I11624)
 
5943 Sources disagree on the children of John Carraway and Margaret Stewart.

In his will dated 23 October 1794,[2] John Carraway of Cumberland Co., North Carolina, bequeathed to his wife Margaret, during her life, six negroes, the manor plantation containing 360 acres, livestock, tools, and furniture. He bequeathed to his son Thomas three pieces of land containing a total of 550 acres, two negroes, and all of the estate previously bequeathed to Margaret after her decease; Thomas was to take care of his father's debts. He also bequeathed to his son William one piece of land on the east side of Black River containing 150 acres and four negroes, and to his grandson John, William's son, he bequeathed one piece of land on the east side of Stewart Creek containing 200 acres. He bequeathed to his son John one negro, £150 to be paid by Thomas, and three cows and calves. He bequeathed to his son James five pieces of land containing about 700 acres, three negroes, a feather bed, and livestock. He bequeathed to his son Charles two pieces of land containing 420 acres, two negroes, cooper's tools, three cows and calves, a feather bed, five sows and pigs, eleven year-old hogs, and pewter plates. His wife Margaret and son Thomas were appointed executors. The will was probated in 1795 in Cumberland Co.
