651 According to Bulloch, Edward died in childhood. Cuthbert, Edward (I3189)
 
652 According to Bulloch, George "remained in Jamaica and thrived" while while his brother, widowed mother and sisters moved to England. George's mother's obit records that George was President of the Council of Jamaica. It is not known if he married or had children. George is mentioned on 26 OCT 1807 in a Precept of Clare Constat (GD23/4/243) by the magistrates and town council of Inverness, in favour of "George Cuthbert of Spanishtown in Jamaica [West Indies], as heir to his father, Lewis Cuthbert, in portions of the lands of Bogbain, in the sherriffdom of Inverness." This document post-dates George's believed date of death of 29 OCT 1802. The discrepancy of dates has not been reconciled. Cuthbert, Hon. George (I3303)
 
653 According to Bulloch, John Cuthbert is named in a charter of resignation from his father, believed to be dated 1 AUG 1625, however Bulloch is quite ambiguous and confusing on the which charter bears which date. John is mentioned in a list of receipts dated 4 FEB 1641 (GD44/40/1) in which he is identified as "John Cuthbert of Castlehill". Also listed in the same document are: John Cuthbert of Little Drakies, William Cuthbert, burgess of Inverness, David Cuthbert, burgess of Inverness, and Alexander Cuthbert, burgess of Inverness. In 1661 John Cuthbert of Castlehill is mentioned in a Letter of Obligation by William Bruce, Skipper in South Ronaldsay (SC11/5/1661/9). In 1666 John is mentioned in a letter of discharge (GD45/16/1237) by George, Earl of Panmure to John Cuthbert of Castlehill for the lands of Overdrakies, Standingstanes (beside Drakies) and Miekledrakies ("Big" Drakies) and other lands in the parish of Inverness. The same discharge appears to be given again on 18 JUL 1672 (GD45/16/1247). John is mentioned posthumously on 20 JUN 1674 in an interesting letter of Notorial Protest (GD23/4/32) by Mr. James Grant, advocate for George Cuthbert of Castlehill, "of dissociation of said George Cuthbert from an action before the Lords of Council and Session between the burgh of Invernes [Inverness] and John Forbes of Cullodne [Culloden], Mr. William Robertsone [Robertson] of Inches [Inshes] and deceased John Cuthbert of Castlehill, father of said George." It's not known what action John took that his son George felt the need to publicly dissociate himself from it, but it would be interesting to find out. Cuthbert, John (I3389)
 
654 According to Bulloch, Lewis Cuthbert went to Jamaica and prospered. Deeds (below) show that Lewis resided in Spanish Town, Jamaica where he was a lawyer and served as Provost Marshall of Jamaica from 1783-1795. In 1783, Lewis' uncle, Abbé Alexander Cuthbert, 13th of Castlehill, died without issue. On 23 Jul 1783 Lewis was appointed as attorney to his nephew, Joseph Cuthbert, 14th of Castlehill, for the purpose of settling the estate. However the estate of Castlehill was still financially burdened and it would appear that Joseph could not afford to maintain the estate. On 20 Jan 1785, Lewis was appointed as attorney to his wealthy younger brother, George Cuthbert, who then took over Castlehill. In 1789 George died and Lewis succeeded him in the estate of Castle Hill.

According to Bulloch, when Lewis died in 1802 his will prescribed that his estates be divided equally among his two sons and three daughters -- thus necessitating the sale of Castlehill for equal financial distribution. However, there is a deed dated May 1795, showing the lands of Castlehill being conveyed to Messrs. Abram Roberts and Company in London, England. This would appear to indicate that Lewis actually sold Castlehill outright a full seven years before his death. Perhaps Lewis too could not manage the debts of the estate. Lewis' children in England are all listed as "fund holders" thus it would appear that Bulloch was partially correct that the residue of the estate was divided among Lewis' children.

Lewis died 29 OCT 1802 in Jamaica, but his widow, one son (Seignelay), and his three daughters moved to England. His eldest son (George) remained in Jamaica and thrived. Lewis' children are found in later records residing in Clifton, Gloucestershire, England (now part of the city of Bristol). His youngest son, Seignelay, is shown as having been born in Bath, Somerset, England (about ten miles southeast of Bristol) in 1786, prior to Lewis' death in Jamaica in 1802. This would make it appear that Lewis was maintaining a residence in England while living in Jamaica and travelling between the two.

Bulloch muddles the children of this family and lists four sons: George, Thomas, Seignelay and George.

[Note: In this deed Lewis CUTHBERT appoints James GRANT, of Corriemonie, advocate in Edinburgh, and John BAILLIE, of Dunain, Inverness, as his attornies. The deed was written by Thomas ROSS, Clerk to Thomas GALLY, attorney at law, of Kingston, Surry County, Jamaica, and was subscribed in Kingston on 2 Jul 1789, with witnesses Thomas GALLY and Thomas ROSS. The deed mentions that George CUTHBERT is deceased.]

CUTHBERT: Jane, 86, died 28 Sept., buried 5 October 1830. Daughter of Hon. George Pinnock. Married 31 May 1766 Kingston, Jamaica, Lewis Cuthbert (died 20 Sept. 1802) of Castle Hill, Inverness and Jamaica. Children include Hon. George Cuthbert, President of the Council in Jamaica. Ann Murray Cuthbert, born August 1777 (died Clifton 29 May 1855). Elizabeth Pinnock Cuthbert (died Clifton 9 Feb 1855 aged 75). In Clifton churchyard on the same stone as Ann Murray Cuthbert are inscriptions for Seignelay Thomas Cuthbert born 5 Jan 1786, died August 1872, and Frederick William Cuthbert born 20 May, died 22 Sept 1841. (Bristol Cathedral (Gloucestershire) Register 1669-1837) 
Cuthbert, Lewis (I3532)
 
655 According to Bulloch, this person's name was John Cuthbert and he first went to Pennsylvania from Castlehill in 1715 along with his two year old son Thomas, born at Castlehill. However, according to a descendant researcher, his actual name was Thomas and he came to America about 1715, settled in Bladen County, North Carolina, moved to Philadelphia sometime prior to 1744, and died 24 JAN 1756 and is buried in Christ's Church, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. As the anonymous descendant researcher cites an actual burial, then the descendant's account is presently preferred over Bulloch who was merely quoting from a second-hand letter he'd received. Pennsylvania baptism records confirm the latter account. Cuthbert, Thomas (I3588)
 
656 According to Bulloch, Thomas had four sons, the fourth of which was Capt. Anthony Cuthbert. The other three are not named. Cuthbert, Thomas (I3589)
 
657 According to Bulloch, William is cited in a charter, believed to be dated 14 JUL 1624, in which he is identified as William Cuthbert, Baron of Castle Hill, heir to his father, John Cuthbert. However Bulloch's reference makes the dating ambiguous. It is presumed that the date of this charter roughly coincides with the death of William's father. William is mentioned on 9 NOV 1603 in an Act of the Sheriff Court of Inverness in which he is identified as "William Cuthbert, sheriff-depute of Inverness" (GD176/206) and again on 6 APR 1604 in a Retour of Special Service for James Dunbar of Sanquhar in which William is again identified as "William Cuthbert, Sheriff-Depute of Inverness". A William Cuthbert served as Provost of Inverness from 1602-1603 which was during William's lifetime. It is not clear if it was this William or different one. And in 1619 there is an Instrument of Sasine (GD103/1/120) which lists "William 'Johnson' Cuthbert in Inverness" in a manner that appears more likely to be a patronymic than a middle name. As this William was indeed a "son of John" then it could easily refer to this William. But the reference is uncertain as we might also expect William to be designated as "younger of Castlehill" and William Johnson Cuthbert is not so-designated. However William's father was still alive in 1619 and thus "of Castlehill" at the time so William may not have carried any designation at this point in reference to Castlehill. Such would be even more so if William was not the eldest son living at the time and therefore not the designated future heir of Castlehill. However, as we have no information regarding the full extent of the children of George Cuthbert, 7th of Castlehill, then we can only speculate. The other Cuthberts named in the same 1619 Sasine include: James Cuthbert Senior in Inverness, James Cuthbert in Easter Drakies, David Cuthbert in Inverness, and John Cuthbert in Inverness. Cuthbert, William Johnson (I3722)
 
658 According to Calvert family records, Benedict died young. Nelker does not show Benedict at all. Benedict has not been found in any public records and may not have existed. Steuart, Benedict (I22450)
 
659 According to Calvert family records, Benedict never married nor had children. Nothing more is known of him. Nelker indicates "no information available on him." Steuart, Benedict (I22440)
 
660 According to Calvert family records, Charles died in infancy. Steuart, Charles Calvert (I22469)
 
661 According to Calvert family records, Charles married Cora, divorced former wife of his cousin Thomas Steuart. Steuart, Charles Augustine (I22420)
 
662 According to Calvert family records, James died in infancy. Steuart, James Murray (I22471)
 
663 According to Cameron family records, Catherine Stewart, daughter of Donald Stewart and Isobel McGregor, married Duncan Cameron, and were the parents of John Cameron who married Helen Ferguson of Kipp, Balquhidder, and had nine children born at Glenbeich, Balquhidder. Documentary evidence is lacking to support the Cameron/Stewart connection, however the claim seems probably true. The Stewarts were from Dalveich, next door to Glenbeich, and multiple autosomal DNA connections exist between descendants of the Camerons and this Dalveich line. The Camerons immigrated to Canada in 1831. Research has eliminated the possibility of a marital connection between these families post-immigration, thus the connection must earlier than John Cameron and Helen Ferguson. Thus the connection suggested here, though not proven, becomes more than plausible, in fact probable. Stewart, Catharine (I15205)
 
664 According to Catherine's gravestone, she was 35 when she died in 1861. This would appear to make Catherine a twin sister of Thomas Hulme Taylor, although Thomas is nowhere recorded as being a twin. But Catherine is also not recorded at all in the Taylor family tree nor in the Taylor biography in Romantic Kent. Taylor, Catherine M. (I19192)
 
665 According to Clan MacNab records, Catharine MacNab, daughter of Donald MacNab of Braeleny, married a Stewart by whom she had one or two sons before her Stewart husband died. (See notes on son, Walter for further reconcilliation of this account with Stewart records.) Only one birth has been found for this couple, thus it is suggested that Donald died shorly after 1777.

They were referred to as "The French MacNabs" because of their time in France. 
MacNab, Catharine in Braeleny (I21234)
 
666 According to daughter, Eleanor (Ellen)'s marriage record, her father's name was Thomas who was employed as a mariner. Evans, Thomas (I20585)
 
667 According to David's only surviving son, William, David had a very large family with many sons. All of his sons except for William are said to have died in the Crimean War (ca. 1854-1856). Harten, Several Sons (I7722)
 
668 According to Deacon John McVean, Catherine was blind and died unmarried. McVean, Catherine (I11042)
 
669 According to Deacon John McVean, Duncan was called "Supple" Duncan McVean.
IGI shows:
Duncan McVean 4 APR 1794, son of Peter McVean and Katherine McDougal
Duncan McVean 30 AUG 1797, son of John McVean and Katherine Cameron

Likely one of these is the right birth, wrongly transcribed. 
McVean, Duncan Maoth (I11095)
 
670 According to Deacon John McVean, Finlay had only one surviving daughter whose name is not recorded. McVean, Daughter (I11007)
 
671 According to Deacon John McVean, Patrick/Peter "was of a roving nature and "of a not very honest disposition" and his brother put him out of his house. He went to the region of Strath Spey, where he had a flourishing family". McVean, Patrick Peter (I11200)
 
672 According to Deacon John McVean: "DONALD McVEAN, lived about 1600 and was the first person to bear the surname McVEAN. He resided on a small farm or croft named Batavernie, or Grove of the Mountain, in the most remote part of Glen Lochay, Breadalbane, Perthshire, Scotland. He was the son of a man named simply Donald."

The McVeans were connected chiefly with Glenlochay. 1619, Donald, Tirai; 1624, Donald Og, Dalgirdie; Donald Dow McDonald Roy, Tirai; 1638, Patrick, Tullich; John, Tirai; Duncan Roy, Boturne; 1763, Duncan, Tullichglas. Rev. John McVean of Glenorchy, whose son, Patrick, was minister at Kenmore, was a native of Glenlochay. The father of the Rev. Colin McVean, who succeeded the Rev. Patrick McVean at Kenmore, in 1794, was miller at Tirai.

Near end of 18th century letter of dismissal from a parish in Scotland? to "McVean", to imigrate
to America, described him as being from "Botuarniemore"? Same croft?

(This would be Donald 11?) 
McVean, Donald mac Donald (I11086)
 
673 According to Deacon John's history of the McVean family, Archibald McVean married Margaret McCollum and moved to Canada. McVean, Archibald (I11037)
 
674 According to descendant Alison Milnes, who cites the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, John was a cousin of David Stuart, the fur trader and explorer (shown below), however the on-line version of the DCB does not mention David Stuart. It is possible that Milnes was citing a printed version of the Dictionary. Milnes' claim is supported by an on-line history of the Nor'Westers and the Astorians (Third Millennium) which says: "David Stuart was a cousin of John Stuart, who was in charge of the company's posts in northern New Caledonia. David's nephew, Robert, was relatively a newcomer to the trade." John is also recorded in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography and in McDonald's biography of Lord Strathcona as uncle to Lord Strathcona (shown above).
John immigrated to Canada before 1796 where he began working as a fur trader and explorer with The North West Company (chief rival to The Hudson Bay Company). His brother, Robert, was also a fur trader with the NWC. John and his brother Robert were the first of this family confirmed to have emigrated. John later enticed his cousin David to join him. David in turn later enticed his own nephew Robert to join them. All four Stuarts worked initially for The North West Company. John was clerk to Simon Fraser and accompanied Fraser on his explorations into British Columbia, including his trip down the Fraser River Canyon. (It is possible that John Stuart and Simon Fraser were cousins as both had mothers named Grant from Inverness.) John Stuart was instrumental in establishing a number of western Canadian fur trading posts including founding Kamloops, British Columbia. He was also instrumental in disrupting competition from John Jacob Astor's Pacific Fur Company, where, ironically, his two Stuart cousins (David and Robert) were senior partners. John Stuart became a full partner in the NWC in 1813 and in 1821 he assisted with the NWC merger with The Hudson Bay Company, where Stuart become the first Chief Factor for the newly amalgamated Hudson Bay Company. Stuart also enticed his nephew Donald Alexander Smith to come to Canada, where Smith also became Chief Factor of the Hudson Bay Company as well as many other accomplishments (see above).
Stuart Lake and Stuart River in British Columbia, Canada are both named after John Stuart.
John Stuart returned to Scotland in 1836 and died 14 JAN 1847 at Springfield House, near Forres, Elgin, Scotland. He is found in the 1841 Census residing in Springfield, Forres, Moray, Scotland as an "independent" with two servants and no family. It is believed that his children remained in Canada. 
Stuart, John (I18707)
 
675 According to descendant information, Anne Stewart married to Donald McLaren, "a spirit dealer in Callander." McLaren, Donald (I10445)
 
676 According to descendant information, Anne Stewart married to Donald McLaren, "a spirit dealer in Callander." Stewart, Anne (I15134)
 
677 According to descendant information, Jean Stewart married to John McLaren, "a shoemaker." McLaren, John (I10474)
 
678 According to descendant information, Jean Stewart married to John McLaren, "a shoemaker." The Balquhidder parish register records: "1824 Feby ___ Contracted John McLaren in this Parish and Jean Stewart in the Parish of Callander. Dues 10p." Stewart, Jean (I16888)
 
679 According to descendant Jessie Dewey, "it is hard to know where the other children were born as the family moved a lot between Ontario and Michigan." Smith, Agnes A. B. (I14596)
 
680 According to descendant Val Roberts, this John McLaren is the one who was residing in 1814 at 4a Westwood Lane on the Blair Drummond Moss with his second wife, Agnes Gillespie. John was recorded in the 1814 Moss Census as having resided on the moss for 26 years with their previous residence given as Lochearnside. He owned 1 cat, 3 chickens, 2 cows, 1 horse, 1 harrow, 1 plough, and 1 cart.

John's daughter Jean's marriage record indicates that she was the daughter of John McLaren, farmer at Mime.

Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions: 24b 1862. By Duncan STEWART and Jean and Christina MCLAREN, in memory of their father John MCLAREN, farmer (in) Lenniston, died 1 MAR184-, age 82, mother Janet STEWART, AUG 1811, age 42, sister Mary, MAR 1818 (sic 1813), age 20. (remainder buried under turf).
 
McLaren, John (I10476)
 
681 According to descendant, Vanessa Firmston (nee Prangley), "The info we have is that (Edward's father) Frank was a bit of a B..... Edward was put into a workhouse at a young age, and took off overseas.... travelled thru Canada, America, etc."

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 Edward Albert and his brother Thomas, and would give clarity to the story above. 
Prangley, Edward Albert (I12698)
 
682 According to descendants Peter and Grace Stewart. Cumming, Margaret (I3123)
 
683 According to Devlin, John was styled "of Albany." John Stewart, was a witness to the charter for the half lands of Balindoran granted to his father by John Stewart of Darnley on 10 March 1457. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) This charter is difficult to reconcile chronologically as John was likely no more than about 12 or 13 years old at the time and too young to witness a charter. John's birth location is not known. He was born before his father acquired the lands of Baldorran in 1457, so he was likely born somewhere on his great-grandmother's lands of the Lennox. Stewart, John of Albany (I16932)
 
684 According to Donald Whyte's book, this Donald McNaughton immigrated to Aldborough Township, Elgin County, Ontario, Canada. McNaughton, Donald (I10774)
 
685 According to Duncan Stewarrt (1739), this Duncan was a surgeon and died in the East Indies. Duncan and Margaret had no known children. Stewart, Dr. Duncan MD (I16017)
 
686 According to Duncan Stewart (1739) Alexander Stewart, 1st of Annat, married a daughter of MacNab of Aucharn.

Clan MacNab records indicate that there were two families of MacNab in Acharn. The later family was established by Patrick Dow Mor MacNab in 1568 after the demise of the earlier MacNab of Acharn family. The daughter who married Alexander Stewart of Annat would have predated the second MacNab of Acharn family and would necessarily belong to the first family. All that is known of the earlier Acharn family is:

Archibald MacNab 1st of Acharn (First family) (b.ca 1500 d bef 1568)
1. Donald MacNab 2nd of Acharn (First family) (b ca 1525, a1568, d bef 1573)
2. John Bane McGillespie MacNab 3rd of Acharn (First Family) (a1573, b ca 1530) m Isobel MacFarlane,
1. Daughter? b ca 1565

Based on chronology and the fact that "Donald" does not appear as forename among the Annat Stewarts, which John and Archibald both do, as does John Bane, it is suggested that the wife of Annat was most likely the daughter of John Bane McGillespic MacNab of Acharn.

"On 28 July 1553 Donald Macnab, son of Archibald Macnab in Acharn, was in possession of Acharn. On 18 April 1568 John Bane McGillespie Macnab married Isobel MacFarlane, `mayer´ of Patrick Dow Mor; and on 12 November 1573 John Bane was sued by Finlay (10th Chief) and on 12 October 1574 by Finlay´s brother and successor, Alexander Macnab of Macnab (11th Chief) for the rents of Sleoch and Acharn. Alexander´s younger son, Patrick Dow More, then succeeded to the two merk land of Acharn and the twenty-shilling94 land of Sleicht (Sleoh), of which John Bane McGillespie had received a tack95 on 18 April 1568. This had been surrendered to Patrick and on 15 April 1605 Gilbert succeeded his father in this tack."

MacNab, John Bane 3rd of Acharn (first family) (I24901)
 
687 According to Duncan Stewart (1739) David was brother to Drummond of Culcheilly Drummond, David Younger of Colqualzie (I5063)
 
688 According to Duncan Stewart (1739) John Fullerton was Bishop of Edinburgh. Fullerton, Rev. John of Greenhall (I6389)
 
689 According to Duncan Stewart (1739) John was mentioned in a charter for the lands of Duchlas in 1545, along with his older brother William, but he died without issue prior to the legitimation of his brother, James.

"John Stewart was a substitute heir to his brother William in 1545." (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland)

690 According to Duncan Stewart (1739) she was a daughter of MacNab of Aucharn.

The later family was established by Patrick Dow Mor MacNab in 1568 after the demise of the earlier MacNab of Acharn family.

MacNab, Daughter of Acharn (I10568)
 
691 According to Duncan Stewart (1739) this unnamed daughter married "James Stewart, predecessor to Ardvorlich" which would be James Stewart, 4th of Baldorran and Balquhidder, her father's first cousin. Her date of birth is not known for certain but her third son was apparently born in 1540 and thus she must be born early enough to account for that birth, which would mean that she must have come from her father's first marriage. Even the most conservative accounting would make her a mother somewhere around age 16. Stewart, Daughter of Glenbuckie (I15562)
 
692 According to Duncan Stewart (1739) this unnamed daughter married Shaw of Cambusmoir. Stewart, Daughter (I15599)
 
693 According to Duncan Stewart (1739) William was mentioned in a charter for the lands of Duchlas in 1545 along with his younger brother, John, but he died without issue prior to the legitimation of his brother, James. Stewart, William of Duchlas (I21407)
 
694 According to Duncan Stewart (1739), Donald was a son of John Stewart, 6th of Glenbuckie, and he had issue. Stewart, Donald (I21329)
 
695 According to Duncan Stewart (1739), Isabel married John Stewart, "great-grandfather of John Stewart of Glenbuckie." Stewart, Isabel of Ardvorlich (I16366)
 
696 According to Duncan Stewart (1739), James had children. James is mentioned in miscellaneous notes in the (John) MacGregor Collection:"John Dow Stewart in Glenfinglas had two sons,- James and Alexander. James 1673 had a son named Alexander 1703 who married Mary Stewart and they had three sons - Robert Duncan and James. Alexander who was father to Duncan Stewart in Lack 1676 and grandfather to John Stewart in Glenbuckie." Stewart, James in Glenfinglas (I16561)
 
697 According to Duncan Stewart (1739), Janet was the daughter of Gespard Graham of Gartur. Graham, Janet of Gartur (I7184)
 
698 According to Duncan Stewart (1739), John Dubh Mor Stewart had several daughters. Stewart, Several Daughters (I18239)
 
699 According to Duncan Stewart (1739), John Stewart, son of Andrew Stewart in Gartnafuaran, was the ancestor of the Stewarts who later lived in Blairgarry. MacGregor's research has shown that the lands of Blairgarry were held at this time by John's paternal first cousin, Robert Stewart of Blairgarry, who was the son of Patrick Stewart of Ardkinknockane, who is believed to be a brother of Andrew Stewart, 1st of Gartnafuaran.

According to Duncan Stewart (1739), this John was the ancestor of a branch who came into possession of Blairgarry at a later time. A full description of this controversy and the known descendants of this branch can be found on the Stewarts of Blairgarry a.k.a. Stiubhartich a' Bhaid Page. Three of many possible explanations present themselves as worth discussing:
1) Duncan Stewart (1739) was mistaken (which is not unheard of) and Andrew Stewart, "1st of Blairgarry" is not the son of this John Stewart, but is instead the grandson of Robert Stewart, previously of Blairgarry;
2) Robert Stewart of Blairgarry had no sons and his daughter became heiress to Blairgarry and married this John or his son Andrew; or
3) the earlier Blairgarry line became extinct and the lands of Blairgarry reverted to the Earl of Moray, as senior landlord, and were reassigned to this branch.

700 According to Duncan Stewart (1739), Katharine was the granddaughter to Dougal Kier (Ciar) MacGrigor, ancestor to Innerlocharg and Glengyle. This is chronologically improbably as she was born about 100 years after Dougal Ciar. It appears more likely that she was a great-grandaughter of Dougal Ciar MacGregor.

Onomastics suggest that Katharine's father's name was likely Duncan, but this is not certain. She is shown as the daughter of this Duncan MacGregor merely as a best guess.
