| 6601 | Sihtric married his half-sister, Slani. They had separate fathers but shared Gormflaith as a common mother. | Olafsson, Sihtric (I11853)
|
| 6602 | Simeon LeRoy dit Audy was born in Creances Normandy. Simeon settled first in the fief or seigneurie of St.-Joseph or L'espinay, Charlesbourg, near the Charles River which belonged to the Hebert- Couillard de L'espinay family in Quebec, Canada in October 1668. He was a master carpenter. The census of 1681 shows Simeon LeRoy and his wife Claude and their 8 children as residents of Montreal. Simeon's last appearance in the records of Montreal was at the time of the burial of his daughter Marie on May 21, 1681. The next appearance of Simeon on any public record found so far is in Albany, New York (which was then part of New France) when on November 28, 1682 he apprenticed his son Augustin, age 11 to Adam Winne to learn rope making for 6 consecutive years. Sometime between may 1681 and November 1682 Simeon took or sent his second son, Jean, to St. Joseph, Charlesbourg to live with his godfather, Jean Giron and took his wife and most (if not all) of their young children to Albany, New York in the United States. In or before 1689 he moved to Kingston, Ulster county, New York (which was then part of New France). In 1689 he rented a house that belonged to Jochem Hendrickse. Simeon fell on hard times in his old age which is proved by the fact that on March 1, 1708 the trustees of Kingston gave him a pair of shoes and a load of wood and paid for the burial of his wife. It is thought that Simeon died soon after his last mention in the Ulster County tax list of 1710. Simeon was a Roman Catholic but his children became protestants and married protestants. The first 9 of the 11 children of Simeon and Claude were born in Quebec. The two youngest were born in NY, probably Kingston, Ulster Co. (© Lorine McGinnis Schulze, OliveTree Genealogy) As Simeon married one of the "Filles du Roi" (see notes on his wife) it is likely that he had served as a soldier in the army of King Louis XIV. | Le Roy-dit-Audy, Simeon (I8476)

| 6605 | Simon is claimed as an ancestor of the Boyds of Kilmarnock, Earls of Kilmarnock, Scotland. His parentage is disputed. Wikipedia notes he may have been a child of Avelina de Hesdin by another man or he may have been a bastard child by a different mother. | Fitz-Alan, Simon (I5761)
|
| 6606 | Sir Allan Napier MacNab, 1st Baronet (19 February 1798 - 8 August 1862) was a Canadian political leader who served as joint Premier of the Province of Canada from 1854 to 1856. He was a lawyer, land speculater, railroad tycoon and one of the prime figures in the Family Compact that controlled government in Ontario, Canada for much of the early and mid-1800s which finally led to the Mackenzie Rebellion in 1837. His grandmother was a Stewart of Ardvorlich. | MacNab, The Hon. Sir Allan Napier of Dundurn Castle (I9393)
|
| 6607 | Sir Andrew was a traitor to King David II. Andrew initially fought with the Royalist army against John Balliol.

|
| 6615 | Sir John Stewart, Sheriff of Bute, was ancestor to the later Marquesses of Bute. John Stewart, "The Red Stewart", was appointed Constable of Rothesay Castle and Hereditary Sheriff of Bute.

|
| 6616 | Sir Murdoch Stewart, who, with his brothers Andrew, Alan, Arthur and Walter, was witness to a charter by their grandmother Isabel, Duchess of Albany, to Sir Willliam of Dunbretane, Chaplain, for the lands of Bullull on 10 June 1442.4 He is styled brother german of Andrew, Lord Avandale, in an Instrument taken by John Haig, Prior of North Berwick, and also in a charter by the Duchess of Albany in favour of the Dominicans of Glasgow in 1451. He was also witness to a charter by John Stewart, Lord Darnley, for the lands of Balindoran in favour of his cousin James Stewart on 7 January 14641 and served as bailie to the Sasine on 17 January following. (MacGregor) | Stewart, Sir Murdoch (I20780)

(MacGregor) | Stewart, Robert Master of Atholl (I20789)
|
| 6618 | Sir Robert Stewart, who, with his brother Sir Hugh, are said to be sons of Sir John Stewart of Bonckle and of whom little is known. He is claimed by several authorities to be the ancestor of the Stewarts of Allanton. (MacGregor) | Stewart, Sir Robert (I17518)
|
| 6619 | Sir Walter Stewart inherited the office of High Steward of Scotland upon the death of his father in 1309. Sir Walter was the sixth hereditary holder of the office. Sir Walter was a first-cousin to Elizabeth de Burgh, second wife of Robert The Bruce. Sir Walter distinguished himself in his loyalty to King Robert the Bruce in the Scottish Wars of Independence. Robert The Bruce rewarded Sir Walter with the hand of his daughter, Princess Marjorie Bruce, in marriage. (Marjorie was a daughter by King Robert's first wife, and no relation to Sir Walter Stewart.) At the age of 21, Sir Walter Stewart fought against the English at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 where, according to some sources, together with Douglas, he commanded the left wing of the Scots' army. According to other sources, because of his youth and inexperience, he was merely the nominal leader of one of the Scottish schiltrons, while the effective leader was his cousin James Douglas, Lord of Douglas. For his services at Bannockburn, Walter was appointed Warden of the Western Marches and was rewarded with a grant of the lands of Largs, which had been forfeited by King John Balliol. In 1316 Walter Stewart donated those lands to Paisley Abbey. Following the liberation of Queen Elizabeth de Burgh and Princess Marjorie Bruce from their long captivity in England, Sir Walter Stewart was sent to receive them at the border and conduct them back home. Sir Walter was likely chosen for this important task because of the high trust King Robert placed in him, but also because he was Elizabeth's cousin. Sir Walter later married Marjorie, receiving the Barony of Bathgate in Linlithgowshire as part of his wife's dowry. During the absence of King Robert the Bruce in Ireland, Sir Walter Stewart and Sir James Douglas managed government affairs and spent much time defending the Scottish Borders. Upon the recapture of Berwick-upon-Tweed back from the English in 1318, Sir Walter took command of the town which subsequently, on 24 July 1319, was besieged by King Edward II of England. Several of the siege engines were destroyed by the Scots' garrison whereupon Sir Walter suddenly rushed in force from the walled town to drive off the enemy. In 1322, with Douglas and Thomas Randolph, he made an attempt to surprise the English king at Byland Abbey, near Malton in Yorkshire, but Edward escaped, pursued towards York by Sir Walter and 500 horsemen. (Wikipedia) Sir Walter resided at Bathgate Castle in West Lothian, Scotland. The castle was the caput of the barony of Bathgate. The castle was part of the dowry of Marjorie Bruce, daughter of King Robert the Bruce, upon her marriage to Sir Walter Stewart, High Steward of Scotland in 1314. Sir Walter died there in 1327, and the castle appears to have been abandoned afterwards. | Stewart, Sir Walter 6th High Steward of Scotland (I17934)

| 6622 | Smooth John MacNab led the clan in its slaughter of Clan Neish on Loch Earn, Christmas 1612. He also led Clan MacNab in support of the Duke of Montrose in the Civil War. They played a notable part in the victory of Kilsyth, but John was captured after unsuccessfully defending Montrose's own Castle Kincardine. He escaped under a sentence of death in Edinburgh and led 300 clansmen to crushing defeat at Worcester on 3 September 1651. John survived the battle but died not long afterwards, killed by marauding members of the Commonwealth army. (Other accounts claim he died at Worcester.) John's exact birth year is not known, but he was old enough that in 1612 he was able to lead his four brothers and other MacNabs in the attack on the McNieshes. | MacNab, John "Smooth John" (I9369)

|
| 6632 | Some online trees mistakenly show Peter McTaggart as buried in Prince Edward County, Ontario, however these have confused Peter, son of James. Peter, father of James, remained in Scotland. The birth for James McTaggart, 6 Aug 1754 in Penninghame, Wigtownshire, is not found at ScotlandsPeople and is unverified. However, it does exactly match the onomastic pattern for Peter's son James' children. It could be from a non-conforming church as Wigtown was Covenantor country. The Anti-Burgher Secessionists were predominant near Penninghame. A review of all baptisms for McTaggart (or variants) in Wigtownshire in the early 18th century shows a pattern suggesting they likely originate with a single progenitor sometime in the mid-late 17th century. Further research is warranted. "In Gaelic, Mac-an-t-sagairt means 'son of the priest', which in the case of Ferquhard Macintaggart meant the lay abbot of the monastery of Applecross. In 1215 he thwarted a rebellion, beheaded its leaders, and presented their heads to King Alexander II who knighted him and later made him Earl of Ross. The name appears in Dumfries in 1459. Elsewhere, in 1583 three MacTaggarts were charged with arson, and in 1688 Catherine McTarget was accused of witchcraft." - Electric Scotland It seems unlikely that the eponymous Ferquhard Macintaggart is the ancestor of all McTaggarts. Dumfries is about 50 km east of Wigtown, so there were McTaggarts nearby to Wigtown 300 years before Peter's birth. Penninghame is near to Garlies Castle, possessed by the Stewarts of Garlies who descend from Walter Stewart, 3rd High Steward. | McTaggart, Peter (I25651)
|
| 6633 | Some sorces show the father of Mary, Countess of Menteith, to be Maurice's brother, Murethac. This confusion probably arises from the fact that Murethac is Gaelic for Maurice. In other words, both brothers had the same name. | Menteith, Maurice Oig of Earl of Menteith (I10974)

|
| 6641 | Some unverified online genealogies allege that John Stewart moved to Lochtayside Kenmore, Perthshire, Scotland, where he was Ground Officer and Factor to John Campbell, 2nd Earl of Breadalbane. This is a plausible appointment as the Ledcreich Stewarts appear to have been allied at the time to John Campbell, Earl of Argyll and Marquis of Lorne, cousin to the Earl of Breadalbane. These same genealogies allege that he was the father of Peter Stewart, born 1775 in Loch Tayside, Kenmore Parish, Perthshire, Scotland, died 14 DEC 1857 in Breadalbane, Glengarry, Ontario, Canada, who married Christian McLean. This connection has now been ruled out by Y-DNA. | Stewart, John (I16538)

| 6643 | Sometime between 1871 and 1875, Alexander moved with his family from Guelph, Wellington, Ontario, Canada to Kincardine, Bruce, Ontario, Canada. In 1881, at age 38, Alexander was residing in Kincardine, Bruce, Ontario, Canada with his wife and children. He was employed as an agent. "Son of Adam & Catherine Stewart; husband of Jemima Esther Michie, married Dec. 29th, 1869 at Nichol Twp. Alex & Jemima moved near Kincardine after farming at West Garafraxa Twp., probably around 1875. Occupation: agent. No death record found." (FindAGrave) Obituary (Regina Saskatchewan newspaper, 13 March 1926) "Alex Stewart, Resident Here 20 Years, Dead Had Lived in Canada 80 Years and Saskatchewan For 20 Years Alexander W. Stewart, 84 years, one of the real old-timers of both Eastern and Western Canada, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ashton Burgess, Crescent Annex, Regina, Friday. The funeral will be held 2 o'clock, Monday afternoon from Speers' funeral parlors to Regina cemetery, Rev. S. Farley officiating. Mr. Stewart is survived by one son, O. W. Stewart, Regina, and three daughters, Mrs. Ashton Burgess, Regina; Mrs. Johnson, Winnipeg, and Mrs. Robards, Miami, Florida. His wife pre-deceased him about 30 years ago. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, but came to Canada with his parents when he was two years of age. The family settled at Fergus, Ontario. Mr. Stewart farmed in Kincardine, Ont., and resided in Guelph, Ont., for a time. He came west in 1882, taking up land near Pilot Mound, Man., but later he returned, to Ontario. He caught the western fever a second time about 20 years ago and came to Regina. He was associated with the American Abell Threshing Machine Company for a few years, under the management of L. T. McDonald. He retired about 15 years ago and has lived with his daughter in the city since that time." [Photocopy is cut off here.

| 6644 | Son of Alexander Secondus Monro and Katharine Inglis. Esq of Softlaw David was the husband of Sophia Home, married 1803, and father of George, Alexander and Isabella. Secondly, he married Isabella Blair, the second daughter of the late Right Honourable Robert Blair, of Avonton, Lord President of the College of Justice.They were married after 1806 (possibly 1813?) and was the father of Isabella Cornelia Munro Binning and Robert Blair Monro Binning. Lived at Inverleith House, Midlothian. (Find A Grave) | Binning, David Munro of Softlaw (I929)

| 6645 | Son of Captain John C. Cage and Thankful Morgan, grandson of Major William Cage and Elizabeth Douglass ---------------------------------------------------------- He was a lawyer and politician in Mississippi. In 1833 he represented Pike County in the State Legislature. By 1836 he had moved to Woodville, Mississippi where he practiced law in the firm of Cage and Scudder. He formed a second partnership with Horatio F. Sirmall in April of 1839, and in November of that year he was elected Judge of the 3rd Circuit Court, which was the seat his Uncle Harry Cage served on. He was re-elected to this seat in 1841. In 1845, he chose not to run for re-election, and established a cotton plantation in Fort Adams, Mississippi. He continued his Woodville law practice with his brother Benjamin, and he remained active in politics, serving as a representative to the State Democratic Convention in 1853 and the Democratic Legislative Committee in 1855. He also apparently was a party in a duel in the early 1840s. In the book The Woodville Republican, Volume 7: January 5, 1892-December 28, 1895, on page 49, there is an abstract of an article about the death of Colonel Frank Ruffin in Virginia. The article "recalls a duel which occurred between that gentleman and Judge C. C. Cage, father of Messrs W. C. & J. D. Cage, early in the forties, to which the former was seconded by messrs W. L. Brandon and St. John Liddell and the latter by Messrs Jones and Noland Stewart. Mr. Ruffin fired before the word, wounding Judge Cage, not dangerously however; the forfeit of his life was claimed by Noland Stewart and tendered by Mr. Ruffin, but the premature firing was so evidently unintentional that the penalty was not exacted. These gentlemen were all men of mark and distinguished citizens; of whom Colonel Ruffin was the last survivor." (FindAGrave) | Cage, Charles Claiborne (I23356)

Given that there are only three lines of this family and that 1-Line and 2-Line are shown as sibling lines, then, in the absence of other evidence, it makes sense for now to account for 3-Line as a first-cousin line. Thus we are showing Robert Stewart and Duncan Stewart of 3-Line (below) as first cousins of Dougald Stewart in Tulloch (1-Line, above). | Stewart, _____ in Tulloch (3-Line) (I17677)
