6101 The 1881 census shows Charles living on Glenfinglas Road, Auchnahard. The Ardvorlich History says that Charles married Marjory Stewart who was as "a Caleb, John of Grodich's sister". The Caleb Stewarts were a cadet branch of the Stewarts of Glenogle. Marjory was actually sister-in-law of John Stewart of Grodich rather than his sister, but 19th century Scottish custom did not differentiate between sister and sister-in-law. According to Mrs. Stewart of Milton's Account, Charles was a son of Alexander Stewart in Auchnahard. She says later: "Charles Stewart before mentioned (brother of John and James in the Braes of Balquhidder) died in Callander." Charles died 8 Jan 1895 at Ancaster Square in Callander. His brief obituary indicates that he was formerly of Glenfinglas.
------------------------------

Dundee Courier, 10 Jan 1895
Stewart - at 9 Ancaster Square, Callander, on the 8th inst., Charles Stewart, late farmer Glenfinglass, in the 79th year of his age. 
Stewart, Charles in Auchnahard (I15379)
 
6102 The 1881 census shows his name incorrectly as John W. Fayrer. Fayrer, James Walker (I5819)
 
6103 The 1891 census gives Margaret's place of birth as Kirkby, Westmorland, England. 1911 gives it as Kirkby Stephen, Westmorland, England. All other sources giver her place of birth as Lancaster. A matching birth registration has been found for a Margaret Elizabeth Mason in July 1860 in Lancaster, but there is insufficient information to confirm that it is this Margaret. In 1891, Margaret is found residing with her daughters nowhere near her husband or the Angus family. Margaret is found in 1901 residing with her daughters, two doors from her husband and his birth family. A matching death record has been found for Margaret Roberts 1943 in Lancaster, born 1859, but there is insufficient information to confirm that it is this Margaret. In 1911, Margaret is living with her daughter Isabella and son-in-law, Richard Aldren, and a granddaughter, Ernestine Thompson, b 1907. It's not known by which daughter she is the grandchild Mason, Margaret (I20557)
 
6104 The 1901 and 1906 census records both give David's birth date as 1906. This would suggest that there were two Davids and the younger, born 23 APR 1891 died in infancy and a second David was born in 1905 or 1906 and whose correct birth date has not been preserved in family records but who is actually the one who survived to adulthood. The fact that there is a 6 year gap between the births of David and Wilfred would support the suggestion that another, unrecorded child was born in that gap. Stewart, David (I15619)
 
6105 The 1901 census entry is not certain. It contains no age or birth location information, but it's the only William Angus living in the area we would expect to find this William Angus in 1901. Angus, William Jr. (I48)
 
6106 The 1901 census mistakenly records her name as Rachel. Ann, Mary Woodburn (I23268)
 
6107 The 1930 census gives Lester's wife's age as 29 and his daughter's age as 22. Pranglin, Lester (I13198)
 
6108 The Aberfoyle OPR gives Patrick's mother's name as "___ Stewart". Stewart, Patrick (I17881)
 
6109 The Aberfoyle OPR recrods William as "Schoolmaster at Kinlochard" at the births of his children Anne, Mary, and Walter.

William is described in Stewarts of the South as being a "schoolmaster at Summerline Flanders Moss, who has three sons". He is shown in the 1814 Blair Drummond Moss Census residing at 14 Summer's Lane (Summerline), employed as a schoolmaster, and residing with his wife and most of his children. Their place of origin is given as "Lochearnside". They had been living on the Moss for 14 years (since about 1800). 
Stewart, William Schoolmaster at Kinlochard and Summerline (I18499)
 
6110 The accounting of Branch VII of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie begins with three brothers: James, Donald and David whose father is not identified. Stewart, Father (I17343)
 
6111 The accounting of Lines 3 and 5 in Stewarts of the South is ambiguous and confusing. Line 3 is accounted as John Stewart, tacksman in Duart, with three sons, and his brother Donald in Aldonobreach in Aberfoil, with one son. While Line 5 is accounted as Donald Stweart, cottager in Aldannabreach in Aberfoil, with one son, who is brother to John Stewart in Wester Brig o' Turk. Either there are two sets of cousins with identical names in nearly identical residences, or the author of Stewarts of the South has recorded the same family twice. We are presently interpretting that Lines 3 and 5 are duplicate entries and that John Stewart in Duart and John Stewart in Wester Brig o' Turk are the same person. Thus we suggest that this John had three sons. Stewart, John (I17204)
 
6112 The accounting of this branch contains interpretations that are currently under review.

Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as the patriarch of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie III Branch Sliochd Sheumais mhic Alistir mhic Dhunachy or "Children of James son of Alexander son of Duncan".

This family appears to have inherited one of the 1/8 portions of Glenfinglas and seems to have resided primarily in Ardcheanochdan in Strathgartney. 
Stewart, Alexander 3rd in Ardcheanochdan (I15049)
 
6113 The ancestry of this Alexander de Seton is uncertain. I follow Stirnet.com from here back. de Seton, Sir Alexander (I4696)
 
6114 The Annals of the Forty records Jane as James Sumner Bridgman. Bridgman, Jane Sumner (I1409)
 
6115 The Annals of the Forty records that George "died young" his exact date of death is unknown. The present date shown here is simply for convenience sake. Bridgman, George Case (I1486)
 
6116 The Ardvorlich History describes Duncan as "a banker who had a family." According to Mrs. Stewart of Milton's Account, Duncan resided in Callander. Stewart, Duncan (I15776)
 
6117 The Ardvorlich History describes Marjory as "a Caleb, John of Grodich's sister." Stewart, Marjory (I17546)
 
6118 The Ardvorlich History indicates that Mary was the cousin of Janet McKinlay of the Anie who married Robert Stewart, brother of this Duncan Stewart. McKinlay, Mary (I10262)
 
6119 The Ardvorlich History records that "she never married nor had children, and died in middle age." Mitchell records her death in 1853. Stewart, Mary (I17620)
 
6120 The Ardvorlich History refers to James and his wife, rather confusingly, as follows: "Mary, who married James Duart's grandfather, Alastair Dubh nan Damh ("Black Alexander of the Stag"), or "Sandy of the Stirks" ("Sandy of the Black Cattle"), who came to the Glen from Appin, and founded the Duart family. He is said to have been a drover. Their son (Duncan Stewart) married Christie, his cousin, and they had a son James, now in Duart, and two daughters. One (Margaret Stewart) married Archie McLaren of Coronach, now at Ardchullerie, and the other (Catherine), Archibald Buchanan, Calatine (Calentowie), near Doune." The preceding reference is confusing in its grammar, in that Mary married James Stewart of Duart, whose grandfather was Alastair Dubh nan Damh. She did not marry Alastair, the grandfather of James Duart.

James is accounted for in the contemporary Buchanan of Auchmar Genealogy and confirmed as "James Stewart".

James is listed in Mitchell's MIs in Kilmahog cemetery: 41 (once enclosed with 40 & 42), pelican plucking its breast, in her nest (crest of the STEWART family). 1809. James STEWART, 3 SEP 1807, age 63, wife Mary STEWART, 22 NOV 1788, age 35, by sons John and Duncan in Duart. 
Stewart, James in Duart (I16639)
 
6121 The Ardvorlich History refers to three of Peter's daughters as "Caleb Stewarts" -- this being a reference to the fact that Peter's father was half-brother to Caleb Stewart, chief of this branch. Peter married on 29 DEC 1821 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Jean MCGREGOR at which time they are described as being both of Balquhidder parish. Two of their daughters married Stewarts from the Auchnahard family in Glenfinglas. The Auchnahard family is accounted in The Ardvorlich History in which the two daughters are referred to as "Caleb Stewarts" and each being sisters to "Mrs. Stewart in Laggan".

Peter's date of death is not known, but he is recorded as already being deceased on his daughter Mary's death registration in 1858. 
Stewart, Peter in Immervoulin (I18078)
 
6122 The Ardvorlich History says that Robert never married and died at age 43. Robert died in Bochastle on 19 MAR 1856. However, according to Mrs. Stewart of Milton's account, Robert in Bochastle had two sons in Glasgow. Census and parish records confirm Mrs. Stewart's account. Robert is found in 1851 as a farmer of 140 acres, employing five servants and residing at Bochastle Farm, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. His wife Catherine and newborn daughter Christian are with him. Stewart, Robert in Bochastle (I18116)
 
6123 The Ardvorlich History shows no husband or family for Janet. Stewart, Janet (I16684)
 
6124 The Ardvorlich History states that John was alive at the time of his brother's death in 1819. Stewart, John (I16944)
 
6125 The Ardvorlich MSS claims that Margaret was married to Robert Stewart, 7th of Ardvorlich. However, other sources indicate that Robert's wife was Margaret Stewart of Annat. MacGregor cites a writ in which Robert Stewart of Ardvorlich is identified as the brother-in-law of Stewart of Annat. Stewart, Margaret in Drumvaich (I17651)
 
6126 The Balquhidder OPR does not give the name of this child. Stewart, Child (I21056)
 
6127 The Balquhidder OPR has the following entry believed to belong to this family:

"1707 Ap 27 ___ Steuart in Sronslany had a child bapt begotten in Adultery Ap 27 1707 called John."

The father of this child is not identified by his first name. As Alexander Stewart, 4th of Ledcreich, was also laird of Stronslany, then he could be the unnamed father, however one might expect the father to then be identified as "of Ledcreich." It is possible that the child's father may instead have been an undocumented tenant in Stronslany. 
Stewart, John (I21055)
 
6128 The Balquhidder OPR in 1787 records, "Mr. Duncan Stewart Minr [Minister] at Balquhidder and Arabella Campbell his spouse had a son born the 7th of March and baptized the 14th March ___ and called Robert."

Stewarts of the South records Robert as: "a Lieutenant in the same corps [as his brother Alexander]." The corps in question was the Honourable East India Company. Census records show that he was part of the Bengal Army of the HEIC and was subsequently promoted to Major General.

The 1851 census shows Robert as a Colonel in the Bengal Infantry and residing at 24 Duke St., St. Mary, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland, with his wife and daughters Ann, Jessie and Arabella.

The 1861 census shows Robert as a Major General in the Bengal Army and residing at Derculich House, Dull, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and daughters, Jessie and G. R. Louisa. 
Stewart, Maj. Gen. Robert HEICS (I18107)
 
6129 The Balquhidder OPR records Catharine's birth as: "1766 JUN 8 - James Stewart and Catharine Stewart both in the Breas had a child begotten in fornication baptized and called Catharine and Duncan Stewart the Grandfather was sponsor for the child." Her parents were married three years later. Catharine's grandfather, Duncan, who acted as baptism sponsor, was most likely her maternal grandfather. Stewart, Catharine (I15275)
 
6130 The Balquhidder OPR reveals a possible son for Robert and Mary:
October 24 1725 The said day Robert Stewart in Letter and Mary Stewart his wife had a child baptised called James.
However there is no confirmation that James is the son of THIS Robert and Mary. He may be accounted for incorrectly here. 
Stewart, James? (I16571)
 
6131 The Balquhidder OPR says only that a child of Duncan Stewart in Monachyle Mor was baptised. The child's name and gender and the child's mother's name are not given. Stewart, Child (I15433)
 
6132 The Balquhidder OPR says, "1706 May 2d Duncan Steuart in Monachill Mor had a child baptised called J___." But the entry does not indicate if the child was a son or daughter. Stewart, J (I16300)
 
6133 The Balquhidder OPR shows: "1742, Octr 13th, Robert Steuart of Marchfield and Janet Steuart his wife had a child bapt called ___." Marchfield has been identified with Blarcrioch, but may also be a translation of Monachyle (Monadh Achadh Iomhal). Stewart, Child (I15432)
 
6134 The baptism is partially illegible for this entry. Only the first letter 'J' can be discerned in June 1693. His parents are shown as Patrick Stewart in Comrie and Janet NicClaren. It is suggested that his name is most likely 'James' as James and John are about the only male names that start with J that were common at the time. It is also suggested that he is likely the father of James Stewart, born ca 1730 in Comrie Village as shown here, for whom onomastics would favour that his father was also named James.
According to a descendant tree submitted to Ancestry.com, the parents of this family were Robert STEWART and Ann MORRISON, however that his highly doubtful. Onomastics show no support for the father of James 1730 being named Robert. The fact that their son, James, also married an Ann Morison may represent an error here. The descendant tree gives no source information. No corresponding birth for a James Stewart son of Robert has been found in the Comrie OPR. At present, we reject the suggestion in the Ancestry tree. Onomastics would suggest his name is far more likely to be James. 
Stewart, J (illegible) James? (I16271)
 
6135 The baptism record found for Charles is Roman Catholic which is likely incorrect. It would be hard to explain why a Protestant couple in Tyrone would have their child baptized Roman Catholic and then that child marries Protestant. McKenna, Charles (I21087)
 
6136 The baptismal entry cited here gives no name to the son born on 8 JAN 1752, but the names of the parents are given as Duncan Stewart and Elizabeth Stalker in Ballagling. As Stewarts of the South records a fourth son named Donald, it is presumed that this entry refers to this Donald. This Donald is believed to be the Donald Stewart described in Stewarts of the South as: "Donald, [at] Summerline Flanders Moss [in] Kincardine parish. [He has] four sons". However there is no sign of a corresponding Donald Stewart anywhere on the Moss in the 1814 Moss Census. There is one entry for a property previously held by a Donald Stewart, but there is no information given about that Donald. Stewart, Donald in Summerline (I15692)
 
6137 The baptisms of the children of John Stewart in Auchrig were witnessed by James, Donald and Alexander Stewart. As it was common for witnesses to be siblings of the parents, it is suggested that John Stewart may have had brothers named James, Donald and Alexander. However they are not confirmed. Stewart, James? (I21578)
 
6138 The baptisms of the children of John Stewart in Auchrig were witnessed by James, Donald and Alexander Stewart. As it was common for witnesses to be siblings of the parents, it is suggested that John Stewart may have had brothers named James, Donald and Alexander. However they are not confirmed. Stewart, Donald? (I21579)
 
6139 The baptisms of the children of John Stewart in Auchrig were witnessed by James, Donald and Alexander Stewart. As it was common for witnesses to be siblings of the parents, it is suggested that John Stewart may have had brothers named James, Donald and Alexander. However they are not confirmed. Stewart, Alexander? (I21580)
 
6140 The birth date and birth family for Mary Harrop are not confirmed. Harrop, Mary (I7713)
 
6141 The birth date, marriage, and children shown here for John W. Clark are not certain. It is based on a match between his birth years as shown in the 1881 and 1901 censuses online, and the fact that he named one son, Harrold, presumably after his mother's maiden name, as well as the fact that he has a household servant, Thomas Clark, who matches his brother's birth year. Clark, John W. (I2735)
 
6142 The birth of Jacob Bell has not been identified. The IGI has 100 potential matches, none of which look favourable. For now this is a dead end.

Jacob's marriage record reads: "Jacob Bell of the parish of Corbridge, Batchelor, and Ann Rutter of this parish were married in this Church by Banns this twenty eighth Day of April in the Year One Thousand Eight Hundred By me B Leeke, Curate. This marriage was solemnized between us Jacob Bell, Ann X Rutter. In the Presence of John Rutter, Mary Rutter." 
Bell, Jacob (I924)
 
6143 The birth record for Leonard Tait in Cornhill, Northumberland, England with parents John and Martha Tait is not confirmed. However, it fits geographically, chronologically, and onomastically. Tait, John (I19096)
 
6144 The birth shown here for Duncan Ferguson may be incorrect. The Clan Ferguson history says that Duncan was a Ferguson on both his father and mother's side. The birth shown here is with a McIntyre mother. The Clan Ferguson account has been incorrect on other details.

From the Records of the Clan and Name of Fergusson/Ferguson and Fergus, edited by James Ferguson and Robert Menzies Fergusson (Edinburgh, 1899)

Grace, deceased, married Duncan Fergusson, Strathyre, a Fergusson on his mother's as well as his father's side, deceased, had issue, Duncan and others, of whom only a daughter now remains at St. Fillans.

Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions:
Duncan Ferguson, mason, St. Fillans, d. 11.2.1893, 64, wife Grace (daughter of late Robert Ferguson, St. Fillans) d 3.6.1892, daughter Janet 13.3.1883, 25.
 
Ferguson, Duncan in Strathyre (I5927)
 
6145 The births shown here are not confirmed to be from the same family. Margaret's first name is not known for certain. Most of the births shown here give only the parents' names as Patrick McLaren and ___ Steuart.

She is likely a granddaughter of John Dubh Mhor Stewart in Dalveich, but by which son is unknown. 
Stewart, Margaret? in Glenbeich (I26042)
 
6146 The Bisset(t)s were a Norman family who followed William into England in 1066. They were of high noblility and at least one branch of the family was invited to take up land in Scotland in return for helping William the Lyon to retain his crown. One of these family members was a Sir Walter BISSET(T) Lord of Aboyne who fell into disfavour when he was reportedly responsible for the death of his brother in law the young Earl of Athol. For this terrible deed he was exiled from Scotland. The Bisset(t)s married into several Scottish families FRASER, GRANT, GORDON, ROSE and Alan of Galloway's daughter married Sir Walter BISSET(T). Ian Mor McDonald (The Tanist) was married to a BISSET(T) from the vales of Antrim and their descendants are now McDonnell, Lord of Antrim. The Antrim BISSET(T)s were descended from Sir Walter BISSET(T)'s nephew who was also exiled from Scotland for his supposed part in the death of the Earl of Athol. This is only a brief understanding of the BISSET(T) families. Current research is being carried out to link the English families to the Scottish families carrying the name BISSET(T). It is thought the first BISSET(T) to enter Scotland was Henricus BISSETT an English noble in about 1200. (ElectricScotland.com)

Their residence was Red Bay Castle, Glenariff, Antrim, Ireland. 
Bissett, Sir MacEoin (I856)
 
6147 The body of Mrs. Penelope J. Stirling, mother of J. H. Stirling, of Jackson, president of the First National Bank; Mrs. Anna Breed, of California, and Mrs. Lou Linthicum, of New Mexico, who died at her home at Brandon, late yesterday afternoon, reached Jackson at 2:20 o'clock this afternoon and was buried in Cedar Lawn cemetery, funeral services being conducted by Rev. J. B. Hutton, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. Deceased was eighty years of age. Clipped from Jackson Daily News, 23 Jul 1914, Thu, Page 8 (FindAGrave) Stewart, Penelope Jones (I23770)
 
6148 The Callander OPR entry for Janet's baptism specifies that her father was "Daniel Stewart, brother german to the laird of Glenbucky." Stewart, Janet (I16689)
 
6149 The Callander OPR records shows that John Stewart Tacksman of Wester Bridge of Turk and Effie McCallum, an unmarried woman, had a daughter born and baptized on 18? May 1752, named Catharine. Stewart, Catherine (I15293)
 
6150 The Callander OPR records that Alexander Stewart in Cullintogle and Mary Mcfarlane at Woodend of Lenny had a son born 23 Feb 1746 and baptized 2 Mar 1746, named Charles, begotten in fornication. James Stewart, his father, being sponsor. Stewart, Charles (I21683)
