| 607 | A Bland is found only in the 1901 census at age 21. He may be from a previous marriage. | Bland, Joseph (I23106)
|
| 608 | A descendant of Robet Angus is a DNA match to me at 1 segment, 12 cM on my maternal side. Her tree is full and well-researched. Her paternal side is all Italian. Most of her maternal side is American going back to the early 1700s or earlier, with no surnames or locations that match my mother's ancestors. The only surname in her entire tree that matches my maternal side is ANGUS, begninning with this Robert Angus who was married in 1841 in Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland. | Angus, Robert (I23475)
|
| 609 | A John Ord is found in Huntingdon County, Quebec, having married on 4 MAR 1825 at St Gabriel's Presbyterian, Montreal to Elisabeth Hefferan, widow of John Hefferan. John was living at the time in Sherrington, Huntingdon County, Quebec, Canada. John's brother Robert's daughter Jane had her first daughter in Huntingdon, Quebec in 1844. It is possible that the John Ord in Huntingdon could be this John Ord and that his brother Robert may have followed him to Canada. | Ord, John (I12128)
|
| 610 | A later obituary records that one of Hugh's daughters was "Mrs. Hugh Cameron of Russell, Manitoba". An 1881 census match can be found with a Hugh and Mercy Cameron in Eastern Extension, Manitoba, both born in Ontario. However, it is not certain that Mercy is the daughter of Hugh McNaughton. | McNaughton, Mercy (I10923)
|
| 611 | A Mary Cuthbert closely matching this person, recorded as being born 11 MAY 1852 is known to have been born in Banffshire and to have immigrated to Canada as a young girl. No other IGI birth closely matches, and she is the only Mary Cuthbert found in the IGI born in Banff between 1848 and 1858, so it appears probable that she is the same Mary Cuthbert who came to Canada from Banff. The Canadian Mary Cuthbert is known to have married on 19 JAN 1875 in Canada to William LEADBETTER, b: 11 NOV 1844 in Stratford upon Avon, England. They began their family in Canada and then moved to Nevada. | Cuthbert, Mary (I3663)
|
| 612 | A matching marriage has been found on 19 JUL 1709 in St. Mary's Parish, Portsea, Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. However, given the distance from Downhead there is doubt as to whether or not this is the correct marriage. | Steeds, Edward (I14721)
|
| 613 | A member submitted IGI record shows Pheobe as being born in Brant County, Ontario, however both the 1881 and 1901 censuses show her as born in the USA. | Swift, Pheobe (I18960)
|
| 614 | A newspaper clipping describes this couple visiting with their three children at the home of the Evans' in Shaw Station. | Stewart, Hugh J. (I16351)
|
| 615 | A record prepared by Effa (Cuthbert) Sippel lists six (sic - four) unnamed children who died of ships' fever thought to be brought by a hired hand of the Cuthberts. Alexander would be one of those. Gravestone: Alexander/ son of Alexander & Jane Cuthbert/ died August 12 1851/ aged 3 years 17 days | Cuthbert, Alexander (I3212)
|
| 616 | A record prepared by Effa (Cuthbert) Sippel lists six (sic - four) unnamed children who died of ships' fever thought to be brought by a hired hand of the Cuthberts. Isobel would be one of those. Gravestone: Isabel/ daughter of Alexander & Jane Cuthbert/ died September 7 1851/ aged 7 months | Cuthbert, Isabel (I3322)
|
| 617 | A record prepared by Effa (Cuthbert) Sippel lists six (sic - four) unnamed children who died of ships' fever thought to be brought by a hired hand of the Cuthberts. Margaret would be one of those. Gravestone: Margaret Ann/ daughter of Alexander & Jane Cuthbert/ died August 30, 1851/ aged 11 years 8 days | Cuthbert, Margaret Ann (I3544)
|
| 618 | A record prepared by Effa (Cuthbert) Sippel lists six (sic - four) unnamed children who died of ships' fever thought to be brought by a hired hand of the Cuthberts.

| 622 | Abbot of Le Bec Hellouin, 1669 Abbot of Ambien, later Archbishop of Rouen in 1691. The great library of Colbert was bequeathed to his eldest brother Jean-Baptiste Colbert, upon whose death in 1690 the library was purchased by his brother Jacques-Nicolas who in turn bequeathed it in 1707 to Charles-Eleanor, Comte de Seignelay. Finally in 1728 it was sold in dispersion. http://www.usal.es/~bgh/1024/exlibris/colbert.htm | Colbert, Abbé Jacques-Nicolas (I2696)

| 624 | Abraham Duncan was born and raised in Rutherglen, Lanark, Scotland, a suburb of Glasgow. In 1871 he was 2 years old and residing with his parents and siblings at 26 Wardlawhill St, Rutherglen, Rutherglen, Lanarkshire, Scotland. In 1881 Abraham was residing with his widowed mother and siblings at 10 Broad Street, Camlachie, Glasgow Barony, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Abraham (who went by "Abram") arrived on the ship, Prussian, at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada from Glasgow, Scotland on 30 Apr 1883. He was travelling without family and was on a shipload consisting almost entirely of teenage boys from Scotland. They are all recorded as "colonists". It appears Abraham may have been "sent away" like a Dr. Bernardo's Child. Abraham came to Canada in 1886. In 1891 Abraham was residing in Sydney, East Hasting, Ontario, Canada, age 19, and working as a farm hand for David Gilbert Roblin (who was born in the USA and is no known relation). In 1911 Abraham was residing in Belleville, West Hastings, Ontario, Canada with his wife. Also residing with them was Abraham's cousin, James Orr and his nephew John Duncan (son of Robert Wilson Duncan). Abraham was the first Duncan to come to Canada from Scotland. According to the 1911 census he immigrated in 1882 (or 1885 according to 1901). He was only 16 years old. His brother Robert didn't immigrate until 30 years later. It is believed that Abraham may have immigrated with his cousin James Orr and that they may have initially stayed with other relatives no presently identified. Abraham married in 1906 in the Methodist church in Belleville, Ontario, Canada to Clarissa Benedict Doughan, by Rev. George Brown. The marriage was witnessed by David Joss and L. E. Brown. David Joss may be a cousin. L. E. Brown may be a relative of the minister as she witnessed several marriages by George Brown. In 1911 Abraham was residing in Belleville with wife and no children. In 1912/13 when his niece and nephew Margaret Hunter "Maggie" Duncan and Samuel Wilson Duncan came over from Scotland they stayed with Abraham before moving to Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario. The 1911 census shows Abraham living in Belleville with his wife and cousin, James Orr (b. Apr 1887 in Scotland) and nephew John Duncan (Dec 1891). | Duncan, Abraham (I5280)
|
| 625 | Abraham followed his brother, Thomas, to Canada and settled near him in Kent County, Ontario. In 1881, Abraham was living at Leehall, Bellingham, North Tynedale, Northumberland, England, on the farm of John Usher Bell. This is next door to the farm that Abraham's sister, Annie Dawson, and her husband, Luke Bell, were living at. John Usher Bell had a brother named Luke Bell, however, at present there is no known relationship between the two Bell families. | Dawson, Abraham (I3832)
|
| 626 | Abraham is found in a 17 FEB 1925 passenger list for the ship Columbia, recorded as: "Abraham Duncan, age 26, single, occupation: motor driver, from Glasgow, Scotland, bound for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, port of entry: New York, NY, USA, nearest living relative: mother Margaret Duncan, 12 Garvald (or Barvald) St., Bridgton, Glasgow." | Duncan, Abraham (I5361)
|
| 627 | Abraham served as a private in the Highland Light Infantry regiment in WWI. | Duncan, Pvt. Abraham (I5279)

|
| 634 | According Mabel's death registration, she died of marasmus (severe malnutrition). This can be caused by viral infection, inadequate production of breast milk, or neglect. | Brown, Mabel Emma (I21194)
|
| 635 | According the Llewella McIntyre's notes, Elisabeth Stewart married a McNaughton. His exact identity is not confirmed, and it is not known if she married in Scotland or Canada, but he could be John McNaughtan of Balquhidder. If so, then they were married in May 1834 just prior to the family leaving for Canada. | McNaughton, Unknown (I22093)
|
| 636 | According to "The Cuthberts of Castlehill" Jane had children. | Cuthbert, Jane Hay (I3429)
|
| 637 | According to a 1908 biography, Jane was orphaned at 16 years of age and raised by her grandparents Hugh Gillespie and Mary. In 1851 at age 17 Jane was living with her future husband two years prior to their marriage. | Stewart, Jane (I16578)
|
| 638 | According to a descendant family tree, James was alive in 1680. (This may be a reference to his date of marriage or birth.) James was descended from Patrick Stewart, allegedly a natural son of "James Stewart, bailie of Balquhidder" who gave Patrick a life lease of Lednascriddan around 1530. (See notes on Patrick for the chronological challenges with this tradition.) James was the father of Robert Stewart who married in 1728 to Christian Stewart. No other children nor a wife is mentioned in the family tree. The notes also say "our line comes from a younger son who left the farm in the 1700s." | Stewart, James (I16437)
|
| 639 | According to a descendant of Catherine's brother James, Catherine married "a Stewart". There are two possible IGI matches: John or William. | Dewar, Catherine (I4870)
|
| 640 | According to a descendant of her cousin: "Mary Ann Angus (b.1907) worked in the offices at Lancaster Marks & Spencers (after World War II). As a child she had lived in Canada." | Angus, Mary Ann (I20577)
|
| 641 | According to a descendant tree submitted to Ancestry.com, Helen married Henry MCEWEN (not in IGI). | Stewart, Helen (I16336)
|
| 642 | According to a descendant, the Dewars of Severie had held this farm since 1402. http://www.hostmybb.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=928&mforum=stewart#928 | Dewar, John of Severie (I4856)
|
| 643 | According to a descendant, William died of Spanish flu at the age of 41 years. | Stewart, William (I18466)
|
| 644 | According to a newspaper clipping. Alexander was a dairy farmer on the Aberuchill estate where his father farmed before him. | McNaughton, Alexander (I25610)
|
| 645 | According to a submitted family tree, Duncan Stewart was a merchant in Buenos Ayres who had one daughter. "Died, at Monte Video, on the 6th January, Duncan Stewart, Esq., second son of the late Duncan Stewart, Esq. of Glenbuckie, Perthshire. Friends will please accept of this intimation." -- Dundee , Perth and Couper Advertiser, Friday 24 May 1850. | Stewart, Duncan in Buenos Ayres (I21453)
|
| 646 | According to Alexander's first cousin, Mrs Stewart of Milton, Alexander drowned in the Leith on 3 NOV 1887. However, family descendant records now prove this to be untrue. It appears more likely that Mrs. Stewart has confused Alexander with another cousin, possibly Alexander's brother John. Census records confirm family records in showing that Alexander survived to an old age, married, had many children and emigrated to Green City, Sullivan County, Missouri, USA. In 1851 and 1861 Alexander was residing with his parents in Balvorist and Drumloist, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland. In 1871 he was residing with his wife and children in his widowed mother-in-law's house at Cambusbeg, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland. He was employed as a farm manager for his mother-in-law, Christian McKinlay, who was recorded as a farmer of 360 acres. In 1881 Alexander was residing at Drumloist, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland with his wife, children, and widowed mother-in-law. He was employed as a farmer of 500 acres. | Stewart, Alexander (I14856)
|
| 647 | According to an LDS entry, Christina married to John Reid. This is not recorded in the 1873 Donald Stewart Family Tree. | Stewart, Christina (I15480)
|
| 648 | According to an LDS submission, Patrick was born ABT 1544 in Perthshire, Scotland, however this date is unlikely. Family tradition in this branch states that Patrick was the natural son of James Stewart, Bailie of Balquhidder and that James gave Patrick a hereditary tack of Lednascriden (Leichtenscriden) in the Barony of Balquhidder circa 1533. This tradition is chronologically challenging. James Stewart, Bailie of Balquhidder, was probably born ca. 1510, thus it would be impossible for him to have had a son old enough to receive land in 1533. One possibility is that 1533 represents Patrick's date of birth and perhaps, at his birth, his father bestowed upon him the future rights to Lednascridan (Leichtenscriden). Another possibility is that Patrick was a natural half-brother of James rather than a natural son. As the "natural son" tradition persists in more than one descendant branch, then the first theory is presently preferred. A 1533 birth for Patrick would fit as a natural son coming prior to James' lawful marriage to the daughter of Patrick Stewart of Glenbuckie ca. 1555. | Stewart, Patrick 1st of Lednascridan (I17894)
|
| 649 | According to birth records, Tom was born 12 Apr 1877, but according to his police retirement information, he turned 65 on 27 Apr 1944, making his birthday 27 Apr 1879. The latter date is more consistent with later records. Tom immigrated from Ireland to Canada in 1888 at age 8. He was educated in Hamilton, Wentowrth, Ontario, Canada. One of his early jobs was as a grocery clerk in a German-dominated area of town. Tom taught himself to speak German while working in that store. The 1901 census shows him as a 20 year old grocery clerk. Residing next door to him was a German family of William Belan whose resident 22-year-old brother-in-law, Edward Hasselfelt (surname unclear) was a policeman. As they were nextdoor neighbours and close in age, this could be impetus for Tom's entry onto the police force three years later. Tom later worked as a salesman in a packing firm. Tom was colour-sergeant of the 13th Royal Regiment, and was selected by his regiment to represent them at the coronation of Edward VII at Westminster on 9 Aug 1902. (The 13th Battalion of Volunteer Militia established Hamilton in 1862. Between 1899 and 1902, during the Boer War, many members of the 13th served in South Africa as members of the 2nd (Special Service) Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment and the 1st Canadian Mounted Rifles. Not asked to mobilize for the war, the 13th Battalion remained in Canada and was redesignated 13th Regiment in 1900 and 13th Royal Regiment in 1910.) On March 2, 1904, at age 24, Tom left commercial employment and joined the Hamilton City Police Force. During that same year he married Jean Stewart and began his family. On 19 Oct 1904, Tom married Jean Ord Stewart at Central Presbyterian Church in Hamilton. It is not known how they met. Jean's first-cousin by marriage, Jack Cameron, was a police detective. Eight months later, on 28 June 1905, they welcomed their first child, Stewart Brown. They were living at 173 Walnut Street South in Hamilton at the time. During the summer and fall of 1906, Hamilton experienced an extended strike action by the Hamilton Street Railway company. Saturday November 24, 1906 -- One story is recounted by Police Chief Thomas Brown who was a Constable at the time: He was assigned to ride on a streetcar from the Sanford Avenue barns to the Bayfront to protect the passengers from injury. By the time they got to King and James Streets, every window in the car was broken by demonstrators throwing rocks. Miraculously, no one was hurt, but the car never finished its run. At one point, a group rolled a large boulder on top of the car from some high point and it came through the roof of the car. Demonstrators rushed then and the car was de-railed and turned over on its side with the passengers, driver and then Police Constable Brown fleeing for their lives. (Gordon V. Torrance, Inspector (former Chief of Police), The Hamilton Police Department, Past and Present, The History of Law Enforcement in Hamilton from 1833 to 1967, dated January 1967) The 1911 census shows Tom residing at 408 King William Street and employed as a policeman working for the city of Hamilton, working 52 hours per week and earning $1500 per year. Tom and his wife and children were also living with Jean's widowed mother, Mary Stewart (née Tait) at the time. One newspaper source says that he served 12 years as a constable before beginning to climb the ranks. Another source mistakenly says that he was a Sergeant during the violent Hamilton street car strike of 1906. However, a Hamilton Spectator newspaper clipping dated March 6, 1919 announces his promotion to Patrol Sergeant. In 1921, Tom was residing at 13 Lorne Ave in Hamilton with his wife, all four children, and his widowed mother-in-law, Mary Tait. In 1924 Tom and his family moved from St. John's Presbyterian Church to Ryerson Methodist Church in anticipation of both denominations coming into Union in 1925. Thus the Brown family entered into the United Church of Canada, but their former congregation of St. John's did not enter into Union and remained Presbyterian. Tom was a member of Ryerson United Church, a former president of the Irish Protestant Benevolent Society, a 32nd degree Master mason, and a member of the Rotary Club. Tom Brown was a prominent public figure. He had an incredibly successful and highly decorated career as a police officer in Hamilton having risen from the lowest to the highest ranking officer during his career. At work, as Chief of the Hamilton Police Department, he was described as "always kindly and sympathetic and at all times had a fatherly understanding towards junior officers". He was also a forward thinker. Tom was the Police Chief who was responsible for introducing two-way radios into the police cars. He was also strong under pressure. He was a constable during the violent Hamilton Railway Strike, and later as Chief he headed the department during the opening years of WWII where he was responsible for, what today is known as, "homeland security". In this capacity Tom oversaw "civil defense problems". Tragically, these "civil defense problems" actually involved the McCarthy-esque arrest of anyone of Italian descent in Hamilton who was even suspected of having Fascist sympathies. This racially motivated campaign resulted in enmity between the Italian community in Hamilton and the city government for years. In 1943 Tom was awarded the honour of Member of the British Empire (what is now called The Order of Canada). "Twice during his long career he was honoured with the task of guarding his Sovereign, first at the coronation of King Edward VII and later during the visit of the King and Queen to Hamilton in 1939." (Hamilton Spectator biography, Mar. 31, 1952) Unfortunately at home Tom was in some ways very different than his work persona, and in other ways not different enough. He did not "at all time have a fatherly understanding" towards his family. Instead he was very much the "chief" at home. His nieces described him as a "large and intimidating" man. He was "the law at work and at home" and his authority was unquestioned... or else. Tom inherited "The Strap" from his father. This was a disciplinary device far worse than just a father's leather belt (see notes on John Brown). He used "The Strap" to excess on his son Stewart (see notes: John Stewart Brown). When "The Strap" was inherited by Tom's grandson Kenneth it showed signs of having been "thoroughly" used for several generations. By today's standard's we would describe Tom as an emotionally and physically abusive father. According to one of Tom's grandsons, he also kept a collection of guns seized from criminals during his police career. These were stored in a box in the attic which he would show to his grandsons on occasion, and regale them with the tales of the actual crimes each gun was used in. Tom was buried from Robinson Funeral Home and now rests in White Chapel Memorial Gardens in Hamilton. | Brown, Chief Const. Thomas Albert MBE Chief of Police (I1975)

| 650 | According to Bulloch this David Cuthbert is the David Cuthbert of Ardersier whose daughter Beatrix married Alexander Cuthbert, Merchant in Inverness, (above) and were parents of The Hon. Capt. James Cuthbert, 1st of Berthier-en-Haut (below). However Bulloch is in error here. He has conflated two contemporary David Cuthberts. This David Cuthbert is mentioned on 17 MAY 1678 in an Instrument of Premonition (GD176/572) by Alexander McIntosh of Connadge for which the list of witnesses includes George Cuthbert of Castlehill and David Cuthbert his brother-german. David is mentioned again on 18 APR 1705 in a Charter of Resignation by William Duff (GD23/2/33) mentioning lands that belonged to "the deceased John Cuthbert of Castlehill then to David Cuthbert, his son". In neither of these documents is David referred to as "of/in Ardersier". Whereas the only document that refers to David Cuthbert "of Ardersier" is a letter dated 31 MAY 1679 (GD23/6/2) from Duncan Forbes in reference to the estate of "the deceased David Cuthbert, town clerk of Inverness, from Ardersear." If David Cuthbert was mentioned as "from Ardersier" and deceased in 1679 then it would be hard to explain why he was not so-designated only a year earlier when he was still alive. But most convincingly, it would be hard to explain how he could be cited in 1705 as being alive 26 years after he died. Thus David Cuthbert of Ardersier cannot be the same person as David Cuthbert, son of John Cuthbert, 9th of Castlehill. | Cuthbert, David (I3158)
