| 6204 | The following notes come from Malcolm Sissons: Gerald was born in a house on Donald St. where the Hudson Bay Co. parkade is located in downtown Winnipeg. After his father died prematurely when he was twelve, his mother took him to her family in Guelph and while living there, Gerald formed a close relationship with his cousins. He and his mother visited Scotland at this time, meeting Lord Frederic Hamilton during the voyage. Gerald and his mother returned to Winnipeg in 1908 and lived in an apartment near the Winnipeg Winter Club, while Gerald began his study of law at the University of Winnipeg and graduated with his B.A. in 1911, and was called to the bar just before he left for the war. Gerald had joined the 79th Cameron Highlanders of Canada. However, he was "taken on strength" with 19 other officers from the Camerons in March, 1915, as a lieutenant in the 52nd "New Ontario" Battalion, raised in Port Arthur, Ontario. They landed in England in late 1915. While in camp south of London, Gerald's friend Lord Frederic Hamilton arranged for Gerald to meet Arthur Conan Doyle who lived near by. Later, in 1916 while on leave, Gerald went to tea with the Bowes-Lyon family, including 16 year old Elizabeth, who later became the Queen (now Queen mother). He spent most of the war in the trenches, starting as lieutenant and listed as a machine gun officer in November 1915. He was promoted to captain on 17 October 1917 and to adjutant to Colonel Foster on 26 December 1917. His unit fought in the battles of Ypres, Mount Sorrel, the Somme, Vimy Ridge, Hill 70, Passchendaele, Amiens, Hindenburg line, Cambrai and Valenciennes. Gerald was wounded in one of the actions when he and his comrades were exposed to a German machine gun when the fog lifted. He was wounded in the stomach although his belt buckle took most of the damage. He served until December 1918 and was "evacuated" 10 February 1919 (i.e. he left the unit). He was awarded the Military Cross by King George V in 1919. Gerald continued his contact with Col. Foster who visited the Rutherford family in Winnipeg. "Hope", as Gerald called her, took a boat to England at the end of the war where they were married in 1918 in London, at St. Margaret's church (since destroyed). Greta (Jackson) and her husband, Dr. Charles Bunn, attended the couple during the ceremony. Upon their return to Winnipeg, Gerald did law work with the soldier settlement board helping returned soldiers get on to farms and then started with the law firm of Aikens Loftus & Co. During the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919, at the request of the authorities, Gerald helped out on the rifle range, teaching some of the older men how to shoot. Gerald and Hope lived in an apartment at the corner of Osborne and Roslyn Road where Margaret Hope ("Babs") was born on 15 October 1919. The young couple built a house at 200 Cambridge St. in 1923 where Nancy-Ruth ("Nance") was born on 10 November 1924. During these years, Nellie, the maid, also lived with the family. Gerald was a strict disciplinarian, a view not generally shared by his wife. He enjoyed sports such as swimming and squash. In 1926, Gerald established his own law practice in the Somerset block and a few months later joined forces with Alfred Rosevear who was practising law in the same building. They took on a couple more partners, Mssrs. MacIntosh and Johnson, but had to dissolve the firm in about 1930 when they could not get enough clients. During the depression, Gerald went to work for the Debt Adjustment Board which involved farms which were bankrupt and trying to work out ways to keep the family on the farm. A year after he started, Gerald became Chairman, a job which he kept until 1940 when he went to Ottawa where he worked as counsel to the Controllers for the Department of Munitions and Supplies. He returned to Winnipeg in 1941 to take up work as legislative counsel to the Manitoba government. He continued his association with the Cameron Highlanders through the years. The family spent most summers from 1932 on at the cottage they built on Clearwater Bay, Lake of the Woods, Ontario, where they were neighbours of the Fred Jacksons. Hope was stricken while at camp and later died, leaving Gerald with a 16 year old Nancy-Ruth at home. Gerald continued his career as Legislative Counsel, and revising the statutes of Manitoba, earning him the sobriquet of "Mr. Manitoba" among his colleagues of the Uniform Law Conference. He was also named Queen's Counsel. During this period, he also served as a major in the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders militia regiment. Gerald reached mandatory retirement age (of 65) in 1955 but carried on in this capacity as a "temporary" employee until 1968, and as Revising Officer until 1972 finally quitting at the age of 82. After seventeen years as a widower, Gerald remarried to Amy de Jardin in 1959, and acquired a new step family. After retirement, Gerald did some contract work for the Government of British Columbia, revising statutes. Gerald and Amy also made a number of trips to Hawaii, where Amy passed away in February 1980. Gerald continued to live by himself, celebrating his 90th birthday in style at the Fort Garry Hotel, before finally passing away at the age of 96 on 15 July 1987. Gerald is buried in St. John's cemetary in Winnipeg, a city which he always considered to be the finest in the land. | Rutherford, Gerald Stewart (I13929)

| 6205 | The Fonda family had already been in North America for over 100 years by the time of this Douw Fonda. | Fonda, Douw (I6117)
|
| 6206 | The Glasingall trial notes indicate that Alexander was a merchant in Liverpool. In 1851, Alexander was residing in Mount Pleasant, Liverpool, Lancashire, England, born 1808, employed as a Commission Merchant, residing in the home of Matthew Gibson, coal merchant. In 1861, Alexander is found residing in Mount Pleasant, Liverpool, Lancashire, England, age 51, born in Lendrick, Perthshire, Scotland, employed as a merchant, residing with his wife Eliza Bell Stewart, born 1821 in Moore, Shropshire, England. They had no children. The Ardvorlich History indicates that Alexander moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Census records do not support this unless it was a brief trip. In 1871, Alexander was residing in Inverlochlarig with his brother, John. This farm was also the residence of his sister and brother-in-law, Margaret Stewart and Alexander McNaughton. His wife was not with him in 1871. | Stewart, Alexander in Liverpool (I14793)

| 6207 | The Glasingall trial notes indicate that she never married. | McLaren, Isabel (I10401)
|
| 6208 | The Glasingall trial notes indicate that she never married. | McLaren, Margaret (I10461)

| 6209 | The Glasingall trial notes indicate that she was still single at the time of the trial. | McLaren, Janet (I10433)
|
| 6210 | The great family of Murray or Moray (occasionally in old deeds Murref) is supposed to have descended from Freskine (or Friskin), a Fleming, who settled in Scotland in the reign of David I (1122-1153), and acquired from that monarch the lands of Strathbroch in Linlithgowshire, and of Duffis in Moray. (Electric Scotland) | Fleming, Freskine The (I6126)

|
| 6213 | The Hon. John Alfred Cuthbert (brother of Alfred Cuthbert), a Representative from Georgia; born in Savannah, Ga., June 3, 1788; was graduated from Princeton College in 1805; studied law; was admitted to the bar in 1809 and commenced practice in Eatonton, Ga.; member of the State house of representatives in 1811, 1813, and 1817; commanded a volunteer company during the War of 1812; served in the State senate in 1814 and 1815; elected to the Sixteenth Congress (March 4, 1819-March 3, 1821); appointed by President Monroe a commissioner to treat with the Creek and Cherokee Indians in 1822; again a member of the State house of representatives in 1822; secretary of the State senate in 1830, 1833, and 1834; editor and subsequently proprietor of the Federal Union at Milledgeville, Ga., 1831-1837; moved to Mobile, Ala., in 1837 and practiced law; elected judge of the county court of Mobile County in 1840, and appointed by the Governor judge of the circuit court of the same county in 1852; retired from the bench and practiced law until his death at ''Sans Souci,'' on Mon Luis Island, near Mobile, Ala., September 22, 1881; interment in a private burying ground on Mon Luis Island. The town of Cuthbert, county seat of Randolph County, "was named for John A. Cuthbert, the son of Seth John Cuthbert, an early colonist and revenue officer. He was the grandson of Joseph Clay. He was born in Savannah, graduated Princeton and represented Liberty County in the legislature. He was living in Milledgeville when the city of Cuthbert was named for him. The first frame building in Cuthbert was built in 1837-38 and the house still stands. Cuthbert is the home of Andrew College, a 2 year, Methodist related, liberal arts built in 1854, and used as a hospital during the War Between the States." Information for this history is from "A Source Book on the Early History of Cuthbert and Randolph County Georgia by Annette McDonald Suarez" | Cuthbert, Hon. John Alfred (I3365)
|
| 6214 | The identification of John Dawson's wife as Ann Baxter is unconfirmed. It is based on onomastics and a matching IGI marriage. OPR data is yet to be consulted. However it appears that there is no other match for this marriage. | Baxter, Ann (I624)
|
| 6215 | The identity of Mary Ross is not certain. She is recorded in the Colbert genealogy as being the wife of George Cuthbert of Castlehill. She is not mentioned in any Castlehill family records, however, the early Castlehill documents were largely destroyed by various battles and rebelions. The Colbert genealogy is difficult to reconcile and it's legitimacy is questioned. Thus it's hard to say with certainty whether the Cobert genealogy preserves a tradition lost among the family of Castlehill, or whether Mary Ross is a fabrication of the Colbert genealogy. | Ross, Mary (I13823)
|
| 6216 | The identity of Sarah Fitzhugh is uncertain and unverified. | Fitz-Hugh, Sarah (I6072)
|
| 6217 | The IGI entry for this birth shows Donald as baptised 11 NOV 1765, whereas our own transcriptions conducted by Fiona Truncik show the baptism as 11 NOV 1764. Fiona is presently preferred. | Stewart, Donald (I15659)
|
| 6218 | The IGI gives no forename for this Cuthbert son. Presumably the original parish record is illegible or incomplete. Primary sources have not yet been consulted. Onomastics would suggest that Alexander's second son should be named David. | Cuthbert, Unknown (David?) (I3558)
|
| 6219 | The IGI gives no forename for this Cuthbert son. Primary sources have not yet been consulted. | Cuthbert, Son (I3569)
|
| 6220 | The IGI show no marriage record for Thomas' first "wife". The baptism of their only known child, Ann, shows her as "Ann Dawson or Graham". It is suggested from this that Thomas Dawson and Elizabeth Graham were never married and that Ann was illegitimate. The OPR has not yet been consulted to confirm this suggestion. 1851 census shows his "second" wife as widowed. | Dawson, Thomas (I4049)
|
| 6221 | The IGI shows a Peter MCVEAN, son of Alexander MCVEAN and Katharine STEWART, bap 6 SEP 1796 in Killin, Perth, Scotland -- the only McVean birth within 10 years in Killin. This may be a coincidence or it may indicate a previous marriage for Alexander. | McVean, Peter (I11172)
|
| 6222 | The IGI shows no children for this couple. 1851 census shows Margaret's husband, Thomas Swindle, as a widower. | Dawson, Margaret (I3906)
|
| 6223 | The IGI shows no children for this marriage. | Dawson, Anne (I3846)
|
| 6224 | The informant at her death was her son, J. O. McCulloch. In 1901 Margaret is recorded twice in the census - residing with her son John in Ward 3, Hamilton City, and also residing at the Hamilton Asylum in Barton. | McCallum, Margaret (I9704)
|
| 6225 | The intimate partner of James Mhor Stewart is not known for certain. Circumstancial evidence suggests she was most likely a daughter of Eoin Mor Tanister MacDonald of Antrim, son of John MacDonald, Lord of the Isles. See notes on James Mhor Stewart for more details. | MacDonald, Lady of Antrim (I9134)
|
| 6226 | The Kells had no known children. At his marriage in 1905 in London, Ontario, he was employed as a finisher and shown as born in Ireland in 1880 as the son of James Kells and Margaret Carter. At his death in 1934 in Whitby, Ontario, he was recorded as 54 years old, born in Ireland, husband of Mrs R Kells, son of William Kells and Margaret Carter, employed as a hospital attendant and residing at the Ontario Hospital in Whitby, Ontario. As he would have been his own informant at his marriage, and his wife was the informant at his death, the name of James Kells for his father is preferred as more likely to be correct. Robert has not been found in any census record. His wife is found in 1911 residing with her parents in Hamilton, shown as Minnie Kells, but Robert is not with her. It appears possible that they may never have actually lived together. | Kells, Robert (I8521)
|
| 6227 | The Kennedy-Annat Tree shows James Stewart as the predecessor to the later family of Stewart of Drumvaich. This claim is not supported by other sources and is questionable. Stewarts of the South mentions no family of Stewarts in Drumvaich. Duncan Stewart (1739) shows no descendants for James. Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, shows no information on James other than his name. | Stewart, James (I16647)
|
| 6228 | The Kilmadock OPR gives Jean's birth name as "Jean" and shows her as the daughter of Robert Stewart in Doune. Stewarts of the South says, " [Allan Stewart of the Invernahyle family] was married to a daughter of one Doctor [Robert] Stewart of the house of Annat." The corresponding marriage record in the Kincardine OPR says, " [1733] Octr 6th, Allan Stewart in Kill~ [Kilmadock] and Janet Stewart paroshner - marryed 25 octr yrafter." There is no OPR entry for a daughter named Janet born to Robert Stewart in Doune. Either Jean and Janet are the same person, or Robert Stewart in Doune had another daughter named Janet whose birth is not shown in the OPR. | Stewart, Jean or Janet (I17150)
|
| 6229 | The Kilmadock OPR records Christian's place of birth as "Drymanend." Her baptism was witnessed by John and Alexander Buchanan both at Drymanend. Christian's birth is also recorded in the Callander OPR on 15 JUL 1797 and baptized on 16 JUL 1797 with parents Duncan Stewart and Christian Walker in "Ballamactavish parish of Doune." | Stewart, Christian (I15482)
|
| 6230 | The Kilmadock OPR records: 8 Dec 1776, Robert, son of Donald STEWART and Jannet MCGRIGOR in Buchany, Witt. Archibald McArthur and John McNee both in Buchany. Robert is listed in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions in Kilmadock cemetery: 203 Robert STEWART feuar (at) Buchany 1776 (to) 1866, wife Agnes FORBES 1853, son James 1841 (age) 18, son John (a) blacksmith (at) Burn of Cambus died 6 SEP 1913, age 84 (and his wife Margaret BUCHANAN 31 JUL 1871, age 38, daughter Christina 8 MAY 1871, age 13, son Robert John died (at) Wester Coilechat 16 SEP 1929, age 61, daughter Agnes Forbes 1 DEC 1930, age 70 (widow of E. THOMSON), daughter Margaret Robina 9 DEC 1930, age 64). Robert is mentioned in the Glassingall trial notes: "At the Milton on Burn of Cambus the twelfth April 1852. In presence of John Burn Murdoch one of Her Majesty’s Justices of the Peace for Perth. Compeared Robert Stewart Blacksmith at Milton of Burn of Cambus in the Parish of Kilmadock who solemnly declares that he is 75 years of age and that he was born at Buchany a village on the Estate of Cambus Wallace, situated about a mile and a half to the South East of Annat, that his father Donald Stewart was a Blacksmith at Buchany; that his grandfather James Stewart was a labourer in Buchany, and that his great-grandfather lived at Calziebolhalzie, a farm on the Braes of Doune in Kilmadock. Declares that his present residence of Milton at Burn of Cambus is on the border of the estate of Annat." | Stewart, Robert in Buchany (I18117)
|
| 6231 | The large gap in children's births suggests other unknown children who died young. | Prangley, Joseph (I12874)
|
| 6232 | The last of the pagan kings descended from Attilla. He is said to have ruled for 90 years. All of France, Germany, and Italy were under his rule. | Hungary, Toxus of (I8023)
|
| 6233 | The Late Duncan Stuart, Mosa, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada Mr. Duncan Stuart passed peacefully away on Tuesday morning of last week, after an illness of a few weeks with heart and kidney trouble. He was one of the old pioneers of the township of Mosa, and was widely known, being possessed of a good will toward all men. Mr. Stuart was born in Perthshire, Scotland, October 1st, 1826, and came to Canada with his parents when six months old, when they settled in Lower Canada, after which they moved by wagon to Appin, Ont., thence to the Longwoods Road south of Strathburn, in the township of Mosa, where he resided most of the remainder of his life, coming to Glencoe a few months ago. Mr. Stuart leaves to mourn his loss a widow and eight of a family-Mrs. Robert Dobson, Mrs. Isaac Simpson and Mrs. John Gould, of Mosa township; Mrs. M. Smith, of Evanston, Ill; Mrs. Nuby, at home'; Angus, of Minneapolis; Alex of Milestone, Sask., and D. M., councillor, of Mosa. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. Alex. Graham, of Lobo township. The funeral was on Thursday afternoon and was very largely attended, interment being made at Oakland cemetery. Rev. Geo. Weir conducted the service at his late residence, Glencoe. The bearers were Messrs. John Thompson, Thos. Simpson, Duncan McCallum, Malcolm McAlpine, John McLean and John B. Jones. | Stewart, Duncan (I15806)
|
| 6234 | The late Watson Buchanan (author of "History of Clan Buchanan and Its Septs: A Millenial Update" and a fluent Gaelic speaker), following William Buchanan of Auchmar (1723), cites Anselan as the progenitor of the Scottish family of Buchanan. They suggest that Anselan's surname was Buidh O'Kyan (O'Cathan), meaning "the yellow-haired O'Kyan". The Buchanan surname would be somewhat of an elision of Buidhe O'Cathainan, meaning "one of the yellow O'Cathans", from "buidhe" = "yellow", plus the family name O'Cathan, with the suffix "an" meaning "one of". The name would have been pronounced something like "bwee-oh-cay-an-an", and in that form it is easy to see how it would morph into Buchanan. Watson Buchanan goes on to note that Anselan is definitely not a Gaelic name. It is derived from the name Anselm (a Norman name meaning "divinely protected" or, literally, "helmet of God"). The name became popular after St. Anselm became Archbishop of Canterbury in 1093, making it anachronistically difficult to explain in the late 10th century in Ulster, Ireland prior to William The Conqueror's invasion of England in 1066. Buchanan goes on to argue, somewhat convincingly, that the name was probably a later corruption of "Absalon", a popular Scandinavian (i.e. Danish Viking) name meaning "father of peace". This name, along with the nickname Buidhe, indicating yellow hair, would be a strong indicator of a Danish Viking ancestry. However, Irish O'Cathan genealogies provide a full Irish Gaelic ancestry (shown here) going back to a sept of the O'Neils. Thus it would seem likely that an earlier O'Cathan may have married a Viking princess introducing both the Viking name and yellow hair into the family. Buchanan of Auchmar suggests that Anselan was obliged to flee Ireland in 1016 after a failed uprising against a Danish Viking overlord. Earlier O'Neill histories indicate that the family had strong aliances with the Argyll area of Scotland as founders of the Gaelic Kingdom of Dal Riada which eventually gained supremecy over the Picts as rulers of Scotland. Later O'Cathan histories indicate this allegiance was maintained with aliances between the O'Cathans and the Scottish Lords of the Isles. The most noteworthy of these being a female descendant of Anselan's brother, Conn, who married Alasdair MacDonald, Lord of the Isles. Thus, if Anselan did have to flee Ireland for any reason, it would be natural that he would find welcome refuge in southwest Scotland. Watson Buchanan goes on to show that Absalon would have been Galicized as a surname in the form of "mac Abhsaloin" which would give rise to the Anglicized surname MacAuslin (and its numerous variant spellings), a known sept of Buchanan. | O'Cathain, Anselan Buidhe 1st of Buchanan (I11817)
|
| 6235 | The late Watson Buchanan (author of "History of Clan Buchanan and Its Septs: A Millenial Update" and a fluent Gaelic speaker), following William Buchanan of Auchmar (1723), suggests that the father of Anselan (a Viking name) was known as Buidh O'Kyan (O'Cathan), "the yellow-haired O'Kyan", and suggests further that he may have been a Norse Viking raider who stayed on. Furthermore, the "yellow hair" may be a strong indicator of Viking blood. His son, named Anselan, which is definitely not an Irish name, was the founder of the family of Buchanan in Scotland. Meanwhile, O'Cathan genealogies indicate that Anselan was brother of Conn O'Cahan, son of Dermod O'Cathan, both very Gaelic names. O'Cahan genealogies give a full Irish paternal ancestry, thus any Viking ancestry may have been maternal. | O'Cathan, Dermod Buidh (I11843)
|
| 6236 | The latter children are found with the widowed Caroline in the 1851 census. The large gaps between the children's births suggests that there were other unknown children who died young. | Prangley, Elijah Baugley (I12675)
|
| 6237 | The list of Dr. Bernardo's Home Children who were shipped to Canada as "orphans" includes and Albert Prangley, age 15, shipped in 1889 on the SS Sardinian, along with his brother Thomas, age 13. They match exactly to the ages of this Thomas and his brother Edward Albert, and would give clarity to the story found in Edward Albert's notes. | Prangley, Tom (I13119)
|
| 6238 | The major branches or "tacks" of Appin stem from the sons of Alan Stewart, 3rd of Appin. Originally they comprised John, 1st of Strathgarry, Dugald, 1st of Achnacone, James, 1st of Fasnacloich and Alexander, 1st of Invernahyle. Ardsheal, the branch our Chief hails from, was given to John, 1st of Ardsheal by his father, John Stewart, 5th of Appin. (Electric Scotland) Allan Stewart, 3rd of Appin, divided his lands between his five sons: Duncan, 4th of Appin, John of Strathgarry, Dugald of Achnacone, JAmes of Fasnaloich, and Alexander of Invernahyle and thus established the branch clan. (Appin website) Gordon MacGregor (The Red Book of Scotland) corrects the traditional accounting and shows John Stewart, so of Allan Stewart, 3rd of Appin, as illegitimate. He shows Strathgarry descending from Robert Stewart, 1st of Strathgarry, son of Dugald MacRobert Stewart, son of Robert Stewart, younger brother of Allan Stewart, 3rd of Appin. Allan Stewart's date of birth is unknown. He was alive and of adult age by 1515. He died between 1563-1565. | Stewart, Allan 3rd of Appin (I14965)
|
| 6239 | The majority of data on the subsequent generations of the family of Colbert of Rheims comes from www.chez.com/geballeux/infos2.html Jehan is the earliest ancestor recorded in the Geballeux genealogy. He is the sixth progenitor of Charles Edward Colbert. The Colbert genealogy begins with the seventh progenitor, Edward Colbert, who is therefore presumed to be the father of this John. Jehan ("John") Colbert is recorded in 1433 and 1438 as being a mason in Rheims, France. | Colbert, Jehan (I2774)
|
| 6240 | The marriage and children for George are not confirmed but are based on strong circumstantial evidence. There is only one known Doughnee/Downy family in Monck during this era. The birth of George Doughnee in 1870 as recorded in the 1881 census corresponds with the birth of George Downy 3 OCT 1869 in the 1901 census. There are no other matches even remotely close. Therefore it is presumed that they are the same person. William Downy, born 2 APR 1884, is shown as a border with this family in 1901. He is presumed to be a cousin from an unknown branch. | Doughnee, George A. (I5026)
|
| 6241 | The marriage and children of Alice are based on only on matching IGI data. This is not confirmed. | Prangley, Alice (I12444)
|
| 6242 | The marriage and children shown here are unverified. | Prangley, William (I13181)
|
| 6243 | The marriage and children's birth information for John McLaren is NOT PROVEN. It is a POSSIBLE representation based only on IGI data. The same is true for his parents and siblings. | McLaren, John (I10419)
|
| 6244 | The marriage and descendants for Angus Stewart are based on circumstial evidence from census records. They are not confirmed. See notes on Angus' wife, Jannet, for more information. Angus and his family have not been found in any Scottish census records and have only been found in the 1881 Canadian census. As Angus' son and daughter, Robert and Jean, are found residing with their uncle David at Letter of Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland in 1851 and 1861, it is presumed that Angus emigrated sometime before 1851 and that he left his then two youngest children in the care of his wife's brother. As Robert and Jean are not found living with their uncle in 1871 it is not known if they may have joined their father in PEI. | Stewart, Angus (I15151)
|
| 6245 | The marriage dispensation for Murdoch and Isabella of Lennox list as one of the impediments to their marriage Isabella’s relation “in the fourth degree of consanguinity to Joan, deceased wife of Murdoch." Nothing else is known about Joan, not even her surname. Clement VII, 174 (cited by Devlin) | Joan (I20901)
|
| 6246 | The marriage for William and Elizabeth is also registered in the parishes of Rathven and Enzie. The Deskford register indicates the Elizabeth is from Deskford and William is from Enzie. His death is recorded as "27 April 1882, 1:30 pm,, age 64, William Cuthbert, shoemaker, widower to Elizabeth Geddes, at 42 Seatown Buckie, son of Alexander Cuthbert, shoemaker (deceased) and Elizabeth Cuthbert (nee Latheron) (deceased). Cause of death: Cardia disease - two years, dropsy - one year. Informant: Helen Cuthbert, daugher-in-law." (Rathven) | Cuthbert, William (I3749)

| 6247 | The marriage of Duncan Stewart to a daughter of MacLaren of Auchleskin, chief of that name, forged a link with the old ruling house of Balquhidder, namely the MacLaren family. The new marriage alliance established itself in several holdings in the district. In King Robert II of Scotland, they shared a common ancestor. Duncan Stewart (1739) says: "Duncan, brother to Patrick Stewart in Glenbucky, married ___ Maclaren. By whom he had Alexander...." Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says only that " Duncan Stewart succeeded his brother and was father of Alexander Stewart." We know nothing more about this Duncan Stewart. | Stewart, Duncan 3rd of Glenbuckie (I15904)

| 6248 | The marriage of Jannet to Angus Stewart and the children shown here are not confirmed, but are based on very strong circumstantial evidence. Jannet's brother is found in 1851 and 1861 with a nephew Robert and niece Jean both born in Edinburgh and matching the children shown here. Furthmore the onomastics for Angus' and Jannet's children match perfectly with the parents shown here and their first child was born in Letter, which was Jannet's father's property. It is believe that this family is the same one found in 1881 in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Jannet's uncles, David and Robert Stewart were heavily involved in the settling of Prince Edward Island. | Stewart, Jannet (I16837)
