6051 Stirnet records that the sister of Somerled, King of the Isles, married Malcolm, Earl of Ross. This is not verified. Gillebride, Daughter of (I6830)
 
6052 Stirnet reports Duncan's surname as "Campbell". However Clan Campbell claims that surname did not exist until his great-grandson Duncan Cam Beul O'Duibne. Clan Campbell claims that all before the alter Duncan bore the name O'Duibne (pronounced "oh-doon-ya"). O'Duibne, Duncan (I11878)
 
6053 Stirnet reports that Gyda is speculatived to have married Olaf, King of Norway, however their respective dates make this unlikely. Dublin, Gyda of (I5238)
 
6054 Stirnet says that Robert probably accompanied Kind David I from England to Scotland. de Maule, Robert (I4522)
 
6055 Stirnet.com claims that Dougall De Seton may be the same person as Walter de Lens, aka Walter the Fleming, and thus suggests the ancestry shown here. However this does not rest on sound evidence. de Seton, Dougall (I4664)
 
6056 Stirnet.com follows Burkes Peerage in reporting that Helen Douglas, daughter of William Douglas, 2nd Earl of Angus, married William Graham, 2nd Lord Graham. MacGregor follows Scots Peerage in reporting that it was Helen's niece, Anne Douglas, daughter of George Douglas, 4th Earl of Angus, who married William Graham. MacGregor's chronology cannot be reconciled. The dating of William Graham's children make it far more likely that his wife was the sister of George Douglas, 4th Earl of Angus, and nearly impossible for it to be his daughter. Thus in an extremely rare instance, I follow Stirnet and Burkes over MacGregor. Douglas, Anne (I5162)

6058 Stirnet.com lists this person as just "Roray" and does not designate any title for him. I am not aware of anywhere where he is listed as a King of Scots, however "Roray" or "Rauri" in Gaelic means "king", so it seems likely that "Roray" is not his name as much as it is probably his title. Scotland, Roray of (I13971)
 
6059 Stirnet.com records Ranal's wife as "daughter of Randulph" and gives the ancestry presented here. Clan MacDonald sites give her first name as "Fiona", but refers to her as a granddaughter of Fergus, Prince of Galloway. Ranald's mother was a granddaughter of Fergus, so it is unlikely that Fiona is also. Although marriages between second-cousins were common in those days, it seems unlikely that Ranald married his mother's first-cousin. It seems likely that MacDonald has simply confused the two women. I have followed Stirnet here. Stranith, Fiona of (I18599)
 
6060 Stirnet.com reports that there are many conflicting ancestries for Leofwine and casts suspicions on all of them. I have no idea which website I got this ancestry from. I would consider all earlier lines of this family to be unconfirmed. Mercia, Leofwine of (I11231)
 
6061 Stirnet.com shows Robert Stewart, 1st of Innermeath, as the son of James Stewart of Peirston. MacGregor shows James Stewart of Peirston with a son, Robert Stewart of Schanbothy. It is not known if these two Roberts are the same or if there is an error in one of the sources. I have recorded them separately for now. Stewart, Sir James of Peirston (I16591)
 
6062 Stirnet.com suggests this person may be Guy de Guisnes. de Boulogne, Arnoul (I4092)
 
6063 Storm was born during a storm while crossing the Atlantic Ocean on the ship "The Arms of Rensselaerwyck". Vanderzee means "from the sea" in Dutch. Storm's descendants took the surname Vanderzee instead of Bradt. All later Storms are named after this Storm. Bradt, Storm Vanderzee (I1138)

6093 Thanks to research conducted by Barb Neal at Barb's Genealogy on the descendants of Duncan Stewart's second marriage, we're have been able to reconcile the accounting in Stewarts of the South with historical records and present a more consistent accounting of this family.
https://geneal4real.wordpress.com/2019/07/06/alexander-stewart-of-balquhidder-footman-to-the-queen-of-denmark/

Duncan Stewart was born in 1692 in Tomnasai near the Kirkton in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, as the son of Alexander Stewart, 1st of Tomnasai. His mother is unknown. No record has been found of Duncan's birth as his birth predates the commencement of baptismal records in the parish of Balquhidder. His year of birth is calculated from his age at death as recorded on his gravestone. Duncan was named after his paternal grandfather, Duncan Stewart, 8th of Glenbuckie.

Nothing is known of Duncan's early life except that it appears he moved sometime before 1716 to Brig o'Turk where his uncle Walter Stewart lived.

On 23 July 1716, at age 24, Duncan married in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland, to Margaret Stewart. She resided in Callander parish, but her birth family has not been identified. Her father's name was likely Donald, but this is uncertain.

Over the next decade-and-a-half, Duncan and Margaret had five children in Brig o' Turk until 1729 when they moved back to Kirkton and had another child. (There are three more births for Duncan Stewart and Margaret Stewart between 1731-1739 in nearby Stronvar which appear likely to be this same couple, but could be another couple with the same names.)

Margaret Stewart died sometime before 1743 when we find Duncan in Kirkton with his second wife, Janet Campbell, and having a family there. No record has been found of their marriage.

As Tomnasai is identified as being adjacent to the Kirkton of Balquhidder, Duncan's return to Kirkton, likely means that he had returned to live at Tomnasai. This likely means that Duncan's father died around this time and that Duncan returned to Tomnasai as heir to the property.

Stewarts of the South incorrectly says that Duncan's father, Alexander of Tomnasai, had three sons, Alexander, David, and John. We now know that Stewarts of the South is missing a generation in its accounting. These three sons are actually sons of Duncan Stewart, 2nd of Tomnasai, from his second marriage with Janet Campbell, not sons of Alexander Stewart, 1st of Tomnasai. There is no baptismal record for a son named David because David was used as a substitute name for Duncan in Scottish culture in the same way that Daniel was used as a substitute name for Donald. So the son identified as David in Stewarts of the South is actually Duncan, born in 1754.

Stewarts of the South describes Duncan's surviving sons with key details that allow us to corrobrate them with other records which are discussed under their individual entries:
1st Alexr was a servant to the Queen of Denmark daughter to George II - and had a pension, left one son
2d David died unmarried had no children
3d John resides in Callander - was a gentleman’s servant and became door keeper to the Secretary of States Office in the time of the Honble Henry Dundas and Mr Pit’s administration.

Stewarts of the South incorrectly states that Alexander Stewart of Tomnasai "was dispossessed some time before his death, by one Ronald McGregor a son to Rob Roy, when the forfeited estates were in the hands of the Barons of the Exchequer." Whereas this dispossession actually occurred in Duncan's lifetime as attested in the Statistics of the Annexed Estates 1755-1756, which lists Ronald Drummond (alias MacGregor) as a tenant in Kirkton along with Duncan Stewart, Robert McLaren, and ten cottars.

Duncan Stewart, 2nd of Tomnasai, is listed in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for the cemetery at Brig O' Turk: "26 table stone (next to 25) DS 1786. IC. Pelican plucking its breast, on her nest. Alexander STEWART, brother John STEWART of Glenbucky, first son Duncan, 6 JUN 1760, age 68 (by sons Alexander, John, Duncan)." This entry requires some interpretation: Duncan Stewart is the one who died on 6 JUN 1760 at age 68. The stone is placed by his sons, Alexander, John and Duncan. The initials "IC" are the Latin initials of Duncan's second wife, Janet Campbell.

Upon Duncan Stewart's death in 1760, Ronald McGregor petitioned for his lease to cover the entire farm at Kirkton, in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland.

The following births may also belong to this family:
Duncan STEUART and Margaret STEUART in Kirktown and Stronvar Mor (note the same named contemporary couple in Dallanlaggan)
Robert STEUART, bap. 2 SEP 1731 in Sronvar Mor
Alexander STEUART, bap. 8 SEP 1734 in Stronvar Mor
John STEUART, bap. 7 JAN 1739 in Stronvar
These entries do not conflict with any other family currently in the database. 
Stewart, Duncan 2nd of Tomnasai (I15947)
 
6094 The 1814 Moss Census shows Duncan Stewart and Agnes McGregor with two sons named James, ages 7 and 5, however no baptismal record has been found for the younger of these. This anomaly is as yet unexplained. It's likely that the enumerator or the transcriber made an error.

This person matches chronologically (but not gender) with Nancy Stewart who married Roderick Maclean in St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada.

The 1825 cesus shows Duncan Stewart and Agnes McGregor having nine children with them. Based on the number of children whom we know survived to adulthood in Canada, this "James" was not among those living with the family in 1825. 
Stewart, James? (I16541)
 
6095 The 1841 Census gives Elisabeth's age as 30 years old, but this census rounded ages down to the nearest five years. Her marriage record indicates that she was from Kincardine. Stewart, Elisabeth (I15964)
 
6096 The 1841 census shows Joseph's name as Joshua. Prangley, Joseph (I12875)
 
6097 The 1851 census shown only one Peter Stewart residing in McNab Township, Renfrew County, Ontario who is shown as born 1838 in Canada, son of Robert and Mrs R. Stewart. He appears identical to the Peter Stewart, born about 1837 in McNab, son of Robert Stewart and Jane McKee (sic), who married on 14 AUG 1860 in McNab, Renfrew, to Mary/Margaret Robertson, born about 1838 in Canada, daughter of James Robertson and Jane Stewart. Mary/Margaret Robertson's sister, Christina Robertson, married Peter's cousin, Robert. Death certificate: Peter Stewart, born 27 JAN 1838 in McNab, Renfrew, son of Robert Stewart and Jane McNie (both born Scotland) died 1 JAN 1928 in Carlow, Hastings, Ontario. Stewart, Peter McNie (I18092)
 
6098 The 1851 census shows this family with the surname Furler, living in Caistor, Monck, Lincoln County, Ontario, as follows:
Cornelius, 59 (1792), USA, no religion, farmer
Mary, 46, USA, English Methodist (this explains the children's shift from Baptist to Methodist)
Elizabeth C., 16, CW, EM
Sythia M., 14, CW, EM
Eli S., 10, CW, EM
Pheobe J., 9, CW, EM
Marilda A., 7, CW, EM
Daniel L., 5, CW, EM

They were living only three farms away from Arza Anson Bridgman.

The 1861 Census for Grimsby shows Cornelius Furler, age 67 (born 1794), a Methodist, living in a log house with a sty (small barn). Living with his wife, Mary, age 54 (born 1807), an Anglican, and the following children:
Ely, age 20 (born 1841)
Phebe, age 18 (born 1843)
Marilda, age 16 (born 1845)
Daniel, age 12 (born 1849)
All members of this family are shown as having been born in the USA.

In 1871 Cornelius was living in Gainsborough, Lincoln Township, Ontario, Canada residing in a log cabin with himself, shown as widowed, age 60 and born in Germany. However the preceding family in the census was all from Germany and it appear that the enumerator made an erroneous "ditto" mark. 
Furler, Cornelius (I6380)
 
6099 The 1873 Donald Stewart in Edinample Family Tree indicates that this Daniel Stewart was residing in London in 1873. Daniel has not been found in census records. Stewart, Daniel (I15559)
 
6100 The 1873 Donald Stewart Tree shows an eldest son, Andrew, born to David and Catharine, however no such birth record has been found and no such person has been found in any census records. Stirling, Andrew (I18548)
