| 6551 | This marriage is not certain. | Gifford, Janet (I6809)
|
| 6552 | This marriage is not yet verified. | Geddes, Elizabeth (I6753)
|
| 6553 | This marriage is probable, but not certain. | Streatton, Sarah (I18607)
|
| 6554 | This marriage is probable, but not certain. It is known that Ann Gratwood married a John Prangley on the date indicated. It is probable, but not certain, that it is THIS John Prangley. | Gratwood, Ann (I7248)
|
| 6555 | This marriage is uncertain. I follow Stirnet.com here. | Dunbar, Alice or Helen of (I5258)
|
| 6556 | This Murray A. Bridgman should not be confused with his cousin, Murray Anson Bridgman, also born March 1857. | Bridgman, Murray Andrew (I1599)
|
| 6557 | This name is quite speculative, based only on a possible IGI match. | Ord, Richard? (I12187)
|
| 6558 | This parentage for John S. Stewart is not certain. | Stewart, John (I17118)
|
| 6559 | This parentage is clearly in error and will need to be corrected by future research. | D'Amboise, Adelaide (I3765)
|
| 6560 | This person does not exist. According to Stewarts of the South, the "Stewarts in Soldier's Land" descend from the Stewarts of Glenogle, but it is not known how. Thus, this person as been created as a theoretical placeholder to show that connection. | Stewart, Unknown Ancestor (I18382)
|
| 6561 | This person is a temporary theoretical construct. It is suggested that Gartnafuaran Branch VII - The Stewarts in Portanealan MAY descend from a younger son of one of the Blairgarry Stewarts, and possibly a natural son. This person is presently being used as a place holder to represent that relationship until such time as a clearer line of descent can be determined. | Stewart, Unknown (I18395)
|
| 6562 | This person is a theoretical place-holder to account for the suspected common origins of the Dalchonzie McNaughtons who have not yet been accounted for. No evidence exists to identify this "ancestor". | McNaughtan, Common Ancestor (I10621)
|
| 6563 | This person is a theoretical place-holder. See notes on father for more information. | Stewart, Ancestor1 (I14971)
|
| 6564 | This person is a theoretical place-holder. See notes on father for more information. He could be identical with his theoretical brother shown here and the branch off for Menteith could occur at a later generation. | Stewart, Ancestor2 (I14972)
|
| 6565 | This person is just a placeholder to anchor the various Brown families in the area of Portadown and Tandragee, Armagh, Ireland who may or may not be related. These families share the same surname and come from the same locale, but given the commonness of the name Brown, we cannot be confident that they are related without DNA evidence. | Browns, Portadown Area (I21847)
|
| 6566 | This person is merely a placeholder. The identity of the common ancestor of this branch is unknown. It is known that the men who belong to the major descendant branches of this Common Ancestor share a genetic match proved by DNA. Thus we know these branches are related, but we do not know the exact point of contact. The children shown here are not brothers, but are definitely cousins of some degree. They represent the earliest researched ancestor of each branch. | Brown, Common Ancestor (I1723)
|
| 6567 | This person is not identified by name in Stewarts of the South which makes it likely that he was dead by the time of writing, ca. 1815. | Stewart, Son (I18267)
|
| 6568 | This person is not identified by name in the McCleary tree. This family were residing at 12 Whitehall Street, Anderston, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland (St. Mark's Parish) with their first three children. | Wright, Mary (I21039)
|
| 6569 | This person is not identified by name in the McCleary tree. | Wright, Anne (I21038)
|
| 6570 | This person is suggested eponymously. No such historical person is known to have existed. Clan Fraser suggest the origin of the name comes from "fraisier", French for strawberry plant, as reflected in the strawberry plants of the clan crest. They also suggest that the name came from the area of Freseliere in Anjou. This eponymous person is suggested here only to reflect those two theoretical origins of the name. | de Freseliere, Fraisiers (I4270)
|
| 6571 | This person is unproven. | Home, John of (I7851)
|
| 6572 | This person should be considered legendary. | de Temple, Godfrey (I4713)
|
| 6573 | This person should be considered legendary. | de Temple, Henry (I4714)
|
| 6574 | This person should be considered legendary. | de Temple, Henry (I4715)
|
| 6575 | This person should be considered legendary. | de Temple, Henry (I4716)
|
| 6576 | This person should be considered legendary. | de Temple, John (I4717)
|
| 6577 | This person should be considered legendary. | de Temple, Nicholas (I4718)

|
| 6583 | This person should be considered legendary. | Temple, Thomas (I19307)
|
| 6584 | This person should be considered legendary. | Temple, William (I19311)
|
| 6585 | This person should be considered legendary. | Temple, John (I19326)
|
| 6586 | This person should be considered legendary. | Temple, Peter (I19330)
|
| 6587 | This person's first name is not known. He is currently accounted for as the patriarch of Lines 1, 2, and 6 of the Stewarts of Auchrig (Ardvorlich Branch III). | Stewart, _____ 1 in Auchrig (Ardv III.1 2 6) (I16640)
|
| 6588 | This person's name is unknown. His son Robert is described as probably a grandson of Peter, Lord of Maule. | de Maule, Son (I4524)
|
| 6589 | This Peter Ferguson is probably identical with the Peter Ferguson shown elsewhere in this database as marrying Margaret McKenzie and having a child Christian Ferguson in Callander in 1832. | Ferguson, Peter (I5993)
|
| 6590 | This proposed birth family for John Chew, born 5 May 1771, is probable, but not confirmed. All ancestors of this line back to Richard Chewe, born about 1550, are likely, but are not confirmed. Earlier ancestors to Richard Chewe should be considered as conjecture, based on research or earlier Chew genealogists. The present author is following their published research. | Chew, Thomas (I2554)
|
| 6591 | This proprietor of Stronvar, or, as he was familiarly known by his clansmen and countrymen as Rob a Mhinisteir (the Minister's Robert), was a great legal luminary. It is told that on one occasion he took a case all the way to what was called the Green Table in London, and won it, which was considered in those days the most wonderful feat in the law line. Hence the people of Balquhidder looked up to him with awe and reverence. When any of them happened to quarrel and be thought them of going to get the matter settled by the lawyers at Dunblane, the laird of Stronvar soon settled it for them without going so far, and so saved them much trouble and expense. From this may be gathered the depth of meaning in the speech which the chief of the M'Nabs delivered over the grave of Rob a Mhinisteir. As the people (almost all the parish was there) were gazing at the newly closed grave, M'Nab thus briefly addressed them: "Men of Balquhidder, you may well look at that grave, forere twelve months will have passed over you, you will be ready to give the teeth out of your heads if you could call him back again whom you have this day laid in the dust." According to Stewarts of the South, Capt. Robert Ferguson acquired Stronvar from the Stewarts of Hyndfield (aka Stronvar) who were a cadet branch of the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran. Stronvar passed from Capt. Robert Ferguson of Stronvar to his nephew, John Ferguson, who was Provost of Cupar in Fife who sold it to Capt. Duncan Stewart, 16th of Glenbuckie. | Ferguson, Capt. Robert a Mhinisteir of Stronvar (I26332)
|
| 6592 | This record comes from a member submitted IGI record. I suspect the birthdate should be 1756, not 1766. In which case this is probably the Elizabeth who married David Ord. | Cockburn, Elizabeth (I2662)
|
| 6593 | This relationship is purely speculative. IGI shows a James Shearwood born 1704 in Middleton/Rothwell, Yorkshire. There are two Middletons in Yorkshire: one is near Rothwell, as suburb of Leeds; the other is in the Cleveland Hills near Kingston on Hull where this family is known to come from. It is also the only IGI birth within 20 years for a James Sherwood (or derivative) anywhere in Yorkshire. I realize the dangers of relying solely on IGI data, that is why this relationship is purely speculative. I have not yet had the opportunity to view the films. | Shearwood, James (I14232)
|
| 6594 | This Robert is believed to be the Robert Stewart who married Janet Walker (although no record of their marriage has been found) and had the following children. However these children do not fit onomastically, as Robert's eldest son should be named James. And Robert seems too young to be born in 1770 and having his first child in 1791. But Robert's great-granddaughters are referred to as "Caleb Stewarts", presumably a reference to a family relationship to Caleb Stewart, shown here as Robert's half-brother. | Stewart, Robert (I17980)
|
| 6595 | This Robert Stewart's birth is recorded in Stewarts of the South as follows: "William Stewart Esqur the presant proprietor four sons 1 Robert 2 John 3 Willm 4 Anthony." This is the Robert Stewart of Ardvorlich who corresponded with Sir Walter Scott in the preface to "A Legend of Montrose" about the murder of Lord Kilpont by "his ancestor," Maj. James Beag Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich. Robert Stewart died without children and was succeeded by his nephew, William Stewart. | Stewart, Robert 9th of Ardvorlich (I18138)
|
| 6596 | This Robert succeeded to the lands of Ardvorlich in 1751 upon the death of his uncle, Robert Stewart, 5th of Ardvorlich. According to the Ardvorlich Stone, Robert Stewart, 6th of Ardvorlich, died unmarried in 1760. His death represented the end of the original branch of Ardvorlich. Stewarts of the South mentions the end of this branch of the family, terminating with this Robert Stewart, 6th of Ardvorlich: "The old Branch of Ardvorlich Family (& sometime Macorriston) became extinct when the present Mr Stewart's father became heir - the last branch which you may see in Duncan Stewart's History was Robert, a rude and boisterous man. He died without issue." (The "present Mr Stewart" refers to William Stewart, 8th of Ardvorlich and his father, Robert Stewart, 5th of Balimeanach and 7th of Ardvorlich. The "old branch of Ardvorlich" became extinct when this Robert Stewart, 6th of Ardvorlich, died without issue.) This Robert is described in the Stewarts of the South as "a rude and boisterous man", above, and later as "a lunatic who had the income of the estate during his life." As this Robert was the last male of his line and had no male heirs, the next in line to inherit Ardvorlich was Robert's distant cousin, (another) Robert Stewart, 5th of Balimeanach. Although Robert Stewart, 6th of Ardvorlich inherited Ardvorlich in 1751 and did not die until 1760, the Comrie OPR reveals that Robert Stewart, 5th of Balimeanach, was already residing at Ardvorlich as early as 1751 and styled "of Ardvorlich" by 1754. (See notes on that Robert for more information.) According to the Ardvorlich Stone, Robert Stewart 6th of Ardvorlich and Robert Stewart 5th of Balimeanach & 7th of Ardvorlich both died in 1760. This Robert is also described in the following reference from the John MacGregor (1905) Collection where he has been erroneously attached to the wrong Alexander. "Catherine Drummond and [her son] Robert Stewart, she was mother to R Stewart an idiot and alimented him 1721 - 1751. In that year he succeeded Buchannan to Ardvorlich. (Norison’s Decisions No.46, p412, Vol.1 ) He died unmarried in 1760 - Dundurn Tombstone." (sic - Robert's correct parentage is shown here. The reference 1721-1751 refers to the life of Robert Stewart, 5th of Ardvorlich, not this Robert. However the description of this Robert as an "idiot" fits with the other references.) The reference to Robert "succeeding Buchanan" is of uncertain meaning. It may related to the fact that Robert's uncle, James Stewart, 4th of Ardvorlich, was at the time married to Elizabeth Buchanan, only daughter of John Buchanan, last of Buchanan. We are not aware of any Buchanan family holding Ardvorlich during this time. The fact that Robert Stewart, 6th of Ardvorlich, is described above as "an idiot" who had to be alimented (supported) by his mother for 30 years, and the fact that his successor was acting as laird while this Robert was yet still living, suggests that Robert Stewart, 6th of Ardvorlich, may have been incapable of managing the affairs of the estate and that his fourth-cousin assumed responsibility for Ardvorlich prior to actually inheriting it. The Caledonian Mercury, 22 January, 1754 contains the following entry regarding William Stewart, brother-german to the late Robert Stewart of Ardvorlich, and refers to Robert's successor, this Robert Stewart, as his nephew: "Whereas William Stewart, Supervisor of the Duties upon Salt at South-Shiells, in the County of Durham in England, brother-german of the deceast Robert Stewart of Ardvorlich, and Tutor by Law to Robert Stewart now of Ardvorlich, his nephew, has granted a factory* to James Moir, Writer in Down, for managing his said nephew's affairs, and uplifting the rents of Ardvorlich, &c. and has also named certain Commissioners in Scotland for giving directions to the Factor as to the management of his said nephew's affairs; and whereas it is necessary that the extent of the debts affecting the estate of Ardvorlich be known: the Commissioners desire the creditors to lodge their claims with James Hay, Writer to the Signer, Old Assembly-close, Edinburgh, or Thomas Drummond of Deanstoun at Deanstoun near Down, or the said James Moir; and to let their Ground of Debt be seen to any one of the persons above named on or before the 15th day of February 1754, so as a proper course may be concerted for their payment." (*The word "factory" here refers to a responsibility granted to a factor (an estate business manager). It does not refer to a manufacturing plant.) | Stewart, Robert 6th of Ardvorlich (I18135)

| 6597 | This Schneider ancestry is based only on a family tree submitted to LDS. It is not verified. | Schneider, Johannes (I14040)
|
| 6598 | This Sir Walter Dhu Buchanan married Isabel, daughter of Murduch, duke of Albany, governor of Scotland, by Isabel, countess of Lennox in her own right. With a daughter, married to Gray of Foulis, ancestor of Lord Gray, he had three sons, viz. Patrick, his successor; Maurice, treasurer to the princess Margaret, the daughter of King James the First, and Dauphiness of France, with whom he left Scotland; and Thomas founder of the Buchanans of Carbeth. | Buchanan, Sir Walter Dhu 12th of Buchanan (I2024)
|
| 6599 | This son has not been identified in any parish records. He is described in Stewarts of the South as: "a son [who is] a labourer to the Duke of Montrose. [He has] three sons at Buchanan in the Duke's works." | Stewart, Son (I18300)
|
| 6600 | This son is a suggestion only. No evidence exists to support his existence, except that Scots naming patterns and the gap in time between the marriage of his parents and the birth of their first known child demands that this Alexander Cuthbert existed and that he probably died young. | Cuthbert, Alexander (I3227)
