| 6251 | The marriage, wife, and children shown here for this John are speculative and based solely on IGI matches. They are unverified. | Dawson, John (I3949)
|
| 6252 | The McCleary tree gives his birthplace as Northern Ireland. His father died in 1961 in Portadown, Armagh, Ireland. | Hewitt, William (I21069)
|
| 6253 | The McIllchonnel family had been in Perthshire for a few generations by this point. However the vast number of spelling variants for the surname have made identifying Donald's birth thus far elusive. | McIlchonnell, Donald (I10132)
|
| 6254 | The McVeans of Dresden, Kent County, Ontario, Canada were distant cousins from Glen Lochay, Killin, Perthshire, Scotland on Robert's mother's side. | McKinlay, Robert (I10282)
|
| 6255 | The most promising IGI match for her birth is Mary Hey, b. 21 JUN 1807 in Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland, daughter of James Hay and Mary Bryson. | Hay, Mary (I7669)
|
| 6256 | The Munro History records that Jean Monro/Munro, daughter of Hector Munro of Drummond, married David Cuthbert of Drakies and shows the children listed here. The children are easily reconcilable with IGI records. Original parish records have not yet been consulted. David Cuthbert is suggested to be the son of John Cuthbert of Drakies, Provost of Inverness, however this relationship is not proven. | Cuthbert, David (I3160)
|
| 6257 | The name "Yaldon" is uncertain. The handwriting in the marriage register was difficult to read. | Yaldon, Agnes (I20352)
|
| 6258 | The name Eli may be an abbreviated nickname for Cornelius. Eli may have been previously married. Haldimand County Marriages: Furler, Eli, 22, Canboro, Grimsby, s/o Cornelius and Mary Ann, married 25 DEC 1863 to Maryann McPherson, 20, Canboro, Gainsborough, d/o Hiram and Catharine. Death record gives age at death as 74 years, 3 months, 15 days, and records his parents names as Cornelius Furler and Mary Ann Gallop. In 1871 Eli is found living in Canborough, Haldimand, Ontario about 10 farms away from William Henry Furlow/Furler, further strengthening the suggestion that they are brothers. | Furler, Eli S. (I6414)
|
| 6259 | The name is unclear in the census records and appears to read "Enan". I believe it is actually "Eman", an abreviation for "Emanuel". An Emanuel Prangley is found in the 1900 census in Chicago working as a saloon keeper. It is believed they are the same person and that Emanuel Prangley took after his father who was a hotel keeper. This relationship is not proven, but is consistent with all known data on this family. | Prangley, Emanuel (I12627)
|
| 6260 | The name of John Gow's first wife is not known. No birth records for his other children have been found, however census records confirm their relationships. The only son for whom we have a confirmed birth record is James. However James had already left home prior to 1841 thus we lack census confirmation that James is a son of the same John as his half-siblings shown here. However, census records show son James' place of birth as being Kirkintilloch, Dumbartonshire where this John and his confirmed descendants resided and where they were the only Gow family to reside there. Further support can be found occupationally, in that all of John Gould Gow's sons were employed as Cotton Handloom Weavers. Thus I have great confidence in the arrangement shown here, but it is not proven. James is the only son listed in the IGI for John Gow and Jean Buchanan and their marriage is shown as 1824, thus making Jean a second wife to John Gould Gow. In 1851 John had his 9 year old grandson, John Lang, residing with him. John Lang's parents have note been identified. Note: Ancestry.com has mistranscribed the family as "Gaw" in 1861 and "Fow" in 1871. | Gow, John Gould (I7146)
|
| 6261 | The name of this son is illegible in the Comrie parish register. | Stewart, Illegible (I16355)
|
| 6262 | The name, James Roberts, is too common to confidently identify his birth family. James and Sarah had four children, only two of whom lived until adulthood. Life must have been difficult for this family as James was living in a workhouse in Lancaster, Lancashire, England when he died in 1846. | Roberts, James (I20666)
|
| 6263 | The names of these sons are unknown, however based on the names of the children of their brother, Alexander Stewart, likely candidates for possible names for these brothers would include: Charles, John, Robert, and William. | Stewart, Son (I18211)

|
| 6269 | The only Archibald Carmichael in the Comrie OPR about the right age is CARMICHAEL, ARCHIBALD, son of FINLAY CARMICHAEL/CATHRINE MCLAREN, 04/01/1804 in Comrie. Archibald Carmichael did not emigrate with his brother John, but remained in Wester Glentarken, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. On 1 Jun 1831, Archibald Carmichael wrote to his brother John Carmichael in London, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada in which he refers to their mutual siblings, Peter and Margaret. He sends the letter in the care of Malcolm McLaren who immigrated about that time and whose daughters married John Carmichael's sons, Alexander and John. | Carmichael, Archibald in Wester Glentarken (I25896)
|
| 6270 | The only birth in Callander parish for a Catharine, dtr of Alexander within 10 years of 1753 is Catharine Stewart b/b 16/17 DEC 1762 in Kirkton of Callander, dtr of Alexander Stewart and Christian McKillop. Or the only birth for a Catharine dtr of Walter is: Catharine STEWART, b/b 17/21 APR 1758 in Callander, dtr of Walter Stewart 10th of Gartnufuaran and Janet Stewart in Duart (Malcolm gives 1750 incorrectly). | Stewart, Catherine (I15361)
|
| 6271 | The only birth in range is Margaret Aitken b/b 17/18 MAY 1773 in Callander, dtr of William Aitken and Catharine Buchanan. | Aitkin, Margaret Mary (I149)
|
| 6272 | The only evidence for William's existence is Ruth Brown's will where she refers to her sons, John and William James, residing "in America" at the time of her death. In UK culture, the term "America" was used as a generic to refer to the continent, not specifically the USA. Ruth's son John is also named as residing "in America" yet he resided in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. So she is using the term to refer to North America, not the USA. In the absence of any other evidence for William's existence, and given that Robert and Ruth had a daughter Rachel Brown, who married a William Brown, it seems more likely that Ruth used the term "son" generally to refer to her son and her son-in-law. | Brown, William? (I21082)
|
| 6273 | The only matching birth found for Janet Reid in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland is REID, JANET, daughter of JOHN REID/MARGARET CARMICHAEL, b. 01/01/1769. | Reid, Janet (I13251)
|
| 6274 | The only record of Henry is his baptism. He is not found in any later records and is presumed to have died in infancy. Registro Battesimi XIIIa This register covers the period from 3 January 1752 to 25 March 1776. Page 175 shows the baptismal act for the eldest son of John Steuart, which is hereunder transcribed in full.

|
| 6275 | The only reference to this Alexander comes from Patrick Stewart of Ledcriech's 1763 genealogy, in a reference to the marriage of Alexander's daughter, Catherine, wife of Alexander Stewart, 4th of Ledcreich, where she is recorded as "Catherine Stewart, daughter of Alexander, "brother of Robert Stewart of Glenagle, predecessor to John Stewart of Hyndfield, or Stronvar." (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, December 1956, vol. 34, no. 6, pp.177-179) | Stewart, Alexander Younger of Glenogle (I15057)
|
| 6276 | The parentage of Somerled "Lord of the Isles" is highly disputed. The parents shown here are not certain but seem to be the most commonly asserted. | Gillebridesson, Somerled Lord of the Isles (I6891)
|
| 6277 | The Records of Clan Ferguson has an extensive biography of Rev. Finlay Ferguson. Stewarts of the South says this about the Ferguson family in Stronvar: "Those Fergussons came of a low degree. The Revd Mr Finlay Fergusson's father was a Smith in Laggamaolin in Athol, but they were worthy and respectable people in this part of the world. Grandfather to Middlehaugh, who was married to Mr Dun MacDiarmid in Conichan's daughter was brother to Mr Finlay Fergusson. Before him, Middlehaugh was possessed by a Branch of the Stewart of Urachill Beg in Athol. Stronvar was possessed by one Stewart Hyndfield of Gartnafuaran family Balquhidder." | Ferguson, Rev. Finlay Minister of Balquhidder (I26326)
|
| 6278 | The reference to Catherine's move to Canada is believed to come from Malcolm Grey's notes, but the original reference has been lost. | Stewart, Catherine (I15270)
|
| 6279 | The relationship between Alexander and his son, Philip is uncertain. | de Seton, Alexander (I4700)
|
| 6280 | The relationship between Edulph of Wessex and the ancestors of King Ethelred "the Unready" of Wessex as presented in ClanStirling.org is unclear. | Wessex, Edulph of (I20028)
|
| 6281 | The relationship between Gilbert and his indicated son, John, is quite uncertain. They may have been father/son, brothers, or cousins. This line does not become certain until the much later Sir John Home. | Home, Gilbert of (I7909)
|
| 6282 | The relationship between Morgund and Rothri is not certain. Some sources show them as father and son, but it seems certain that Morgund was the son of Gillocher, and probably inherited Mar through marriage to a daughter of Rothri. | MacGylocher, Morgund (I9194)
|
| 6283 | The relationship of Saier to his father, presented here, is according to Stirnet.com, referencing SetonFamily.com. | de Lens, Saier (I4451)
|
| 6284 | The relationship of this daughter to David, Earl of Huntingdon, is not verified. In fact it is chronologically impossible. Stirnet.com presents it as unverified and as I am following that source I will leave it as is for the present. However if Galfridus De Crawford was married to a Huntingdon then it was likely an earlier Huntingdon than David's daughter. | Huntingdon, Daughter of (I8121)
|
| 6285 | The relationships and dates shown here are approximations based on data from Stirnet.com. Clearly there is a generation missing here. | O'Duibne, Sir Gillespic Archibald (I11861)
|
| 6286 | The relationships shown for this family are purely speculative for the first five generations. These relationships are based solely on matching names from data in the parish records of Corsley, Wiltshire, England where the surname Prangley is known to originate. Reliable data does not begin until John Prangley, born 1755 in Corlsey. | Prangley, George (I12717)
|
| 6287 | The Rose of Kilravock Family History shows David ROSE of Earlsmilne having married Christian CUTHBERT, daughter of James CUTHBERT of Easter Drakies. | Cuthbert, Christian (I3200)

| 6288 | The Scotsman - Monday 29 January 1917 Stewart - At Laggan, Strathyre, on the 25th January. Helen McKay, widow of John Stewart, farmer. Funeral to Dundurn Chapel, St. Fillans, on Monday, leaving at 9:30 arriving Strathyre 10:30 and St. Fillans after 1. Friends please accept this intimation and invitation. She was residing with James Stewart in Laggan who was described as her "next of kin." Obituary: STRATHYRE - 1917 - THE LATE MRS. STEWART LAGGAN - There passed away peacefully at Laggan, Strathyre, on 25th Jan., Mrs. Helen Stewart, widow of Mr. John Stewart, farmer, Laggan. She had been ailing for some time, but was thought to be improving, when she had a relapse, and passed away at the age of 59. Mrs Stewart was a lady of most estimable character - kind to the poor, and respected by all classess. She was a native of Inverness-shire and is survived by a family of three sons and two daughters. The eldest son is Mr. John Stewart, (my father) solicitor, Dunblane, who is Clerk to the District Committee of the Western Division of the County Council, and who holds a number of other public offices. The funeral, which was largely attended took place on Monday to the family burying-ground at Dundurn Chapel, St Fillans, where as a scion of the Stewart of Ardvorlich, they have the right to bury inside the chapel. As the place, however, is rather overcrowded, Mrs. Stewart’s remains were interred immediately outside the chapel. The funeral service at the house was conducted by the Rev. David Cameron, B.D., and at the grave by the Rev. Mr. Scott, Dundurn, and the Rev. Mr. Cameron, Balquidder. | McKay, Helen (I10233)
|
| 6289 | The Scottish Journal indicates that Duncan married a daughter of Invernahyle. The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol. 3 says that Duncan was the son of Alan Stewart of Innischaoraich who was the son of James Stewart of Innischaoraich. This conflicts with both the patronymic in Stewarts of the South and the Invernahyle genealogy found in The Scottish Journal which both show that Alan was the son of Dugald Stewart 1st of Innischaoraich and the father of James Stewart 3rd of Innischaoraich. It would appear likely that the Kennedy-Annat Tree has confused Alan's father with his son. This Duncan may be identical to Duncan MacAllain Stewart in Duart, shown elsewhere in this database. "Duncan Stewart, is said to have been an innkeeper at Tighnaluib, in Glen Dochart, and to have married Margaret, daughter of Alexander Stewart, 6th of Invernahyle. He is also said to have had issue by her, however, his uncle, Neil Stewart of Auchmor, becoming heir to Duncan’s elder brother, James Stewart of Incherich, it follows that any issue of Duncan’s body cannot have been lawful otherwise they would have had prior right of succession." (Gordon MacGregor, Red Book of Scotland) | Stewart, Duncan mac Alan mhic Dougal Inkeeper at Tighnaluib (I16013)
|
| 6290 | The Scottish Journal says does not given Archibald's first name and says he was minister of Appin. However the Fasti Ecclesia gives his name as Archibald MacCalman, M.A. and says he was minister of Ardchattan in Lorn. As he was ordained in 1640 his birth is estimated as 1615. | MacCalman, Rev. Archibald (I9070)
|
| 6291 | The Scottish version of the Arthurian legend claims that Edhan's son, Artur, was the true King Arthur. | MacGabhran, Aidan (I9215)
|
| 6292 | The Scottish version of the Arthurian legend claims that this is King Arthur. Stirnet.com does not supprt the existence of Artur. | MacAidan, Artur (I9061)
|
| 6293 | The ship, Prince of Wales, set sail from Inverness, Scotland on Oct 1735 and arrived on 10 Jan 1736 in Georgia, USA, with 177 Highland settlers from Inverness, including: George Cuthbert of Inverness, John Cuthbert, John Cuthbert of Drakies. The list of initial colonists in the Darien Colony (New Inverness), Georgia, USA in 1735 lists a "John Cuthbert of Drakies, gentleman," accompanied by seven servants and no wife or children. It is believed, but not confirmed that he is this John Cuthbert. John's servants listed in 1735 were: Forbes, John, age 26, servt. To Jo. Cuthbert of Draikes Fraser, Donald, of Inverness, age 22, servt to Jo. Cuthbert of Draikes Kennedy, Will, age 22, Tailor, servt to Jo. Cuthbert of Draikes Kennedy, Elizabeth, wife age 24, servt. To Jo. Cuthbert of Draikes Macgilivray, Farquar, age 30, servt. to J. Cuthbert of Draikes MacInver, Murdow (Murdoch?), servt to J. Cuthbert of Draikes Spence, John, age 36, servt to Jo. Cuthbert of Draikes On 3 JAN 1738 John Cuthbert signed a petition against slavery with other members of the Darien Colony, New Inverness, Georgia, USA. The petition was upheld despite counter petitions from the wealthy planation owners in Savannah (including John's cousin, Capt. John Cuthbert of Mulberry Grove Plantation), and slavery was kept out of Georgia until 1749. It is suspected but not confirmed that this John Cuthbert is the father of the children shown here. Descendants of Seth John Cuthbert believe his father to have been named John and he fits well with this family. And there appears to be no other John Cuthbert that they could belong to. | Cuthbert, John (I3369)
|
| 6294 | The sixth branch of the Glenogle Stewart is recorded in Stewarts of the South as follows: "John Stewart, [a] crofter [in] soldiers' land (uncertain reference) near Callendar, [on] Burrel Drummond's [estate]. [He] has two sons: one of them a wright near Callendar; another [who is] a waiter in Edinburgh." There is only one family of a John Stewart living in Callander village ca. 1815 and they match the description given above and cannot be matched anywhere else in Stewarts of the South. Thus we believe the following family to be the "Stewarts in Soldiers' Land." Which of the two sons was the wright and which was the waiter is not known. "Soldier's Land" was a small settlement just east of the original village of Callander but has now been enveloped by the growing town of Callander. There is a Duncan Stewart, born 11 May 1781 in Chrachavie, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland (at the west end of Loch Venachar) natural son of John Stewart in Chrachavie and Mary Ferguson. This would have to be a different couple with the same names as this couple were married at the time. | Stewart, John in Soldier's Land (I17234)
|
| 6295 | The small number of occurances of the surname Galloch makes it all but certain that all those of the surname Galloch from Upper Strathearn are from one family of origin. Parish records go no earlier than 1695 and are incomplete, at best, until many years later, so it may be impossible to ascertain the early roots of this family. This eponymous "Ancestor" is only as a place-holder and does not represent any real known individual. The "children" of this person shown here are not necessarily all brothers and sisters. They are more likely a mixture of siblings and first-cousins, but can be safely presumed to be of the same family. However their exact relationship to each other is unknown. Their birth-dates shown here (with the exception of Donald) are purely speculative guesses based solely on the ages of their children. The later descendants of this family, as shown here, are not fully verified. Some of the family relationships are certain, while others represent this author's best attempt to cobble together a coherent presentation of this family based on known information. Where I have made guesses as to familial relationships I have indicated so in the notes. At least one branch of this family were known as "Galloch alias Drummond" and it may be that Drummond is the authentic surname and Galloch is simply a nickname-cum-surname. The occurances of the surname Galloch in Upper Strathearn last for only three or four generations of descendants. The latest OPR record of a Galloch in Comrie, Monzievaird or Muthill is 1772. It's possible, but unlikely, that all the male lines either died out or emmigrated before 1800; whereas it seems more plausible that they may have reverted to the use of Drummond as a surname. The surname Galloch is very uncommon and may be a corruption of McCulloch, or Culagh ("wild boar") from which McCulloch originates, or Gaidhlig ("Gaelic"), Gaolach ("beloved"), or Gealaich ("to whiten" or "the moon"). The surname can also be found in Caithness and Angus. Galloch is also recorded as a sept of Sinclair and Gunn. And Galloch is also a known corruption of Gallagher, an Irish Catholic name. The form "Galloch" was often chosen to avoid discrimination when immigrating to Protestant areas. "Repeated evidence suggests that first inhabitant of Cowden Farm may be the illegitamate son of 3rd Earl of Perth James Drummond and mother unkown being a servant girl in the house of James father John Drummond 2nd Earl of Drummond. The son recieved the fram and land holdings from his father. He assumed the name galloch but in later generations . Descendents assumed the name of drummond." (Source unknown and unverified) | Galloch-alias-Drummond, Ancestor (I6599)

| 6296 | The Statistics from the Annexed Estates for Western Strathearn (1755-56) lists the following persons residing in Easter Glentarken: Easter Glentarken - Duncan McNab, Donald King, John Ferguson, Patrick McLaren, John Carmichael, Patrick Drummond, and four cottars - twelve families. It is suggested that the Patrick McLaren cited above could be an excellent candidate for the father of Margaret McLaren. Further research is requried. ------------- The following genealogy found in an online forum from 2009 appears likely to be the same family. The following information appears to have been submitted by Val Roberts and is not confirmed: https://www.british-genealogy.com/forum/threads/49461-Maclaurin-of-Balquidder-and-family "My 3 x Gt Grandfather was Archibald Maclaurin born in Balquhidder in 1786. His father was Alexander and mother was Janet. I have caught up with Archie from 1832 onwards but have not been able to find much before then. Does anyone share the same family? he siblings were... Daniel b 1789 Elizabeth b1791 John b1793 Ludovik b 1797 William b 1797 Peter 1798 Janet b 1801 Some were born in Comrie." "Archibald was christened at Balquhidder on 24 November 1787. His parents Alexander McLaren and Janet McLaren married at Balquihidder 27 Jan 1787. Janet was born 2 Nov 1766 Glen Ogle. Her father was Donald McLaren (b abt 1727 Glenbeich) and her mother was Elizabeth McLaren. (b abt 1731 Glenbeich) They married about 1761 in Glenbeich. Donald's father was Patrick McLaren and his mother was Margaret Stewart, both from Glenbeich. Glenbeich is a glen in the west of Comrie parish." | McLaren, Patrick? in Easter Glentarken (I22209)
|
| 6297 | The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Book 3 indicates that "the first person of the name of Stewart actually settled in Glenfinglas, was James Stewart in Glen, who is mentioned in 1575 in the special Retour of James Stewart of Baldofran (Baldorran) in the lands of Emyrcrethan and Croftintarry (Easter and Wester Cregan in Strathyre)." The most likely candidate for this James would be James Stewart, son of Alexander Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie, who is believed to have had no children. In 1586 the following people were all included in a bond of manrent to Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy, for the murder of John MacOlchallum Comrie. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland). Walter Stewart in Bailliefoile (natural son of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie) Robert Stewart (son of Walter Stewart in Balliefoile) Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie Patrick Stewart, 1st of Ledcriech (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Robert Stewart of Broichie (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) James Stewart (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) John Stewart of Voil (natural son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Walter Stewart (natural son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) It is not known if James had children. He could be an ancestor of one of the unaccounted branches of Glenbuckie. | Stewart, James "in Glen" in Glenfinglas (I16266)
|
| 6298 | The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol 3, says, "There were two brothers of this family living at Ardveich at the end of the 18th century. They were Alexander (Sandy) Stewart and his brother James Stewart. The eldest, Alexander (Sandy), was a wright.... The second brother, James, long resided about Stronvar. His son was called James Og and lived on a croft just where the nursery used to be at Ardvorlich. The croft was called Ashinranoch. He had two sons and about six daughters." Stewarts of the South presents James Ross Stewart as the patriarch of Line 5 and Alexander Stewart as the patriarch of Line 6. This would seem to suggest that Line 5 is senior to Line 6, but Stewarts of the South cannot be relied upon for accurate accounting of the seniority of secondary lines. Whereas, The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol 3, is quite specific that Sandy Stewart is the older brother and James Ross Stewart is the younger brother. Their father's name is not known for certain. He was probably one of the middle sons of John Dubh Mhor Stewart of Dalveich. Present accounting would favour that this line descends from Robert Stewart. James Ross Stewart lived at Wester Ardveich on the east side of the Beich Burn in Glen Beich, on the north shore of Loch Earn, just east of the village of Lochearnhead, in Comrie parish, Perthshire, Scotland. His ancestors had resided in that glen for three generations before him. He was a descendant (likely a great-grandson) of John Dubh Mhor Stewart of Dalveich, illegitimate son of the notorious Major James Beag Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich. James Ross Stewart's exact birth record has not been found. Records were far from legible or complete in the 1700s. James is believed to have married in the late 1750s to Catherine McLaren, however no record of their marriage has been found. The McLaren family had lived at Ardveich for many generations. In an era of intense religious conflict that erupted into war in James' lifetime, it's possible that they were not married in the established Church of Scotland. James Stewart and Catherine McLaren had ten children at Wester Ardveich between 1758-1777. According to Stewarts of the South, James was otherwise known as Sheumas Ross (Sheumas is Gaelic for James, so his English name would be James Ross Stewart. Ross can be a nickname form of Robertson, thus James' father may have been named Robert as we are presently suggesting, or his mother may have been a Ross/Robertson, or "Ross" ("ros") is also a Gaelic word meaning "a wooded promontory" and may refer to his residence i.e. "James of the Ross"). James was described as a "late tenant at Ardveich, Loch Earnside, on Drummond's estate." The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol 3 states that James Ross Stewart had two sons and about six daughters. Thus it is presumed that at least one of the daughters shown here died young. The McIntyre Letter states that James' son, James Og Stewart, was the youngest of three brothers. Parish records show no older sons for James Ross Stewart by Catherine McLaren. This could mean that James Ross Stewart had an earlier family with another woman. Which could explain why James' first son is not named Robert. Or the McIntyre letter may have confused James Og Stewart with his father James Ross Stewart as we know that James Ross Stewart was the youngest of at least two brothers. | Stewart, James Ross in Wester Ardveich and Stronvar (I16597)

| 6299 | The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol 3, says, "There were two brothers of this family living at Ardveich at the end of the 18th century. They were Alexander (Sandy) Stewart and his brother James Stewart. The eldest, Alexander (Sandy), was a wright...." The son, Alexander Stewart, is described as a wright on his son John Stewart's death registration. And he was a brother to James Ross Stewart. Stewarts of the South presents Alexander Stewart as the patriarch of Line 6 and James Ross Stewart as the patriarch of Line 5. This would seem to suggest that Line 5 is senior to Line 6, but Stewarts of the South cannot be relied upon for accurate accounting of seniority of secondary lines. Whereas, The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol 3, is quite specific that Sandy Stewart is the older brother and James Ross Stewart is the younger brother. Sandy and James' father's name is not known for certain. He may have been a middle or younger son of John Dubh Mhor Stewart of Dalveich, however current chronology suggests he was more likely a grandson. Onomastics suggests his name is Robert, but this is not confirmed. Alexander's oldest son was named Robert. It was custom in that era for families to name their first son after the father's father. James Ross' oldest son was named James. While this would suggest that his father's name should also be James, one of the known meanings for the name 'Ross' was a contraction of 'Robertson' or "son of Robert." And we cannot eliminate that possibility that James may have had an earlier son named Robert not known to us. Nothing more is known about this Stewart other than the fact that he presumably lived at Ardveich in Comrie parish, Perthshire, Scotland, and that he was a descendant (likely a granson) of John Dubh Mhor Stewart in Dalveich, illegitimate son of the notorious Major James Beag Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich. Present accounting would favour that was the son of Robert Stewart in Glenbeich, but this is not confirmed. Given what we know of the culture of the area, and his clan, it is also likely that this Stewart was a Jabobite. Given the likely ages of his children, it's possible that he even fought at Culloden. | Stewart, Robert? in Ardveich (I25177)

He was probably one of the middle sons of John Dubh Mhor Stewart of Dalveich. Present accounting would favour that this line descends from Robert Stewart. It is believed that the Cooper's Anvil presently at Ardvorlich belonged to this Sandy Stewart. | Stewart, Alexander wright in Wester Ardveich (I15084)
