| 6601 | Thomas was a plantation owner near Savannah, Georgia, USA. | Chisolm, Lt. Col. Thomas (I2847)
|
| 6602 | Thomas was born in 1899 in Lancaster, Lancashire, England. In 1901, at age 1, Thomas was residing at 6 Albion Street, Bulk Ward, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his parents and siblings. In 1911, at age 11, Thomas was residing at 6 Albion Street, Bulk Ward, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his parents and siblings. On 27 Aug 1921, at age 22, Thomas Angus, an iron turner, son of Charles Angus, a blacksmith, married in Bradford, Lancashire, England to Cecilia Price, age 23, a machinist, daughter of George Price, a clerk. In 1939, Thomas Angus was residing at 371 Manchester Road in Audenshaw, Lancashire, England, with his wife and daughter. He was employed as a sick berth attendant on the HMS Drake. | Angus, Thomas (I32)
|
| 6603 | Thomas was residing with his parents in Detroit in 1920. He has not been found in 1930. | Brown, Thomas James (I1976)
|
| 6604 | Thomas was the informant on his brother Robert's death on 19 JUL 1925. Thomas is recorded as residing in Merlin at the time. | Tasker, Thomas Loras (I19032)
|
| 6605 | Thomas' birth and death dates are found on the family gravestone in Tandragee. His death registration in Banbridge is attached. His marriage was registered on 14 Sep 1877 in Dungannon parish, County Tyrone. Thomas is shown as a baker, age 22 (b 1855, which contradicts the gravetone and the death registration) as son of Robert Brown, from Tandragee. He married 19 year old Margaret Steenson, daughter of Andrew Steenson, from Kilnaslee Townland, County Tyrone. They were married in Carland Presbyterian Church, Donaghmore parish, County Tyrone. The marriage was witnessed by James Robinson, on the groom's side, and George Gracey on the bride's side. Ruth Brown's will indicates that she had a surviving daughter-in-law, Margaret Brown, in Portadown, Armagh, Northern Ireland. The 1901 census indicates that Margaret was born in County Tyrone in 1856, and that she was a widow in 1901. | Brown, Thomas (I1974)
|
| 6606 | Thomas' birth is incorrectly transcribed in the IGI as 1829 instead of 1839. Confirmed by birth certificate, rec'd by Vicky Bradburn. Thomas' children are not with him in 1881. | Prangley, Dr. Thomas (I13150)
|
| 6607 | Thomas' birth record has not been identified. He was the eldest son of Thomas Smith and Helen Jaffrey, Heiress of Glassingall. As the eldest son, he should have inherited Glassingall from his mother, however the estate went to his younger brother, Alexander, instead. Allegedly, Thomas and Alexander fell in love with the same woman and struck a deal whereby Thomas relinquished his rightful interest in the estate of Glassingall in exchange for Alexander withdrawing his love-interest in the woman. Her name is lost to history. Their alleged real-life love-triangle provided some of the inspiration for author Robert Louis Stevenson for the story in his novels, Kidnapped and Catriona, in which Thomas Smith is portrayed as the deceased character of Alexander Balfour of Shaws, father to the central character of Davie Balfour. The fictional estate of Shaws is based on the real-life estate of Glassingall. Thomas Smith was one of the founders of the Canada Company with John Galt and other investors in Canada and the UK. It was established to acquire and develop Upper Canada's undeveloped clergy reserve and Crown reserve lands and to redistribute them to immigrant settlers at a profit to the company. Galt was the original superintendant, but quickly found himself in trouble. When Galt was accused of gross mismanagement in 1829, Thomas Smith was sent to Canada to review Galt's books and business practices. This resulted in Galt's dismissal from the company. Smith also uncovered disreputable investment practices on the part of several Canadian investors who were among a group of powerful elites known collectively known as "The Family Compact." Upon discovering these illegalities, Smith found himself on the wrong side of power and was fired. After losing his job with the Canada Company, he travelled to the USA and later to Cuba where he is believed to have died in a shipwreck offshore on route to India in 1829. He fathered an illegitimate son, Thomas Stuart Smith who went on to become a respected painter and founder of the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum in Stirling, Scotland. Thomas is mentioned in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856), as "Thomas Smith, who previous to leaving for India on his passage to which he died unmarried, conveyed his joint interest to his brother, Alexander." | Smith, Thomas Jr. (I21721)
|
| 6608 | Thomas' birthplace is recorded as "Townsend". I believe this refers to the present day "Townsend Centre", as according to current maps the village of Townsend is only 30 years old. Townsend is near the town of Jarvis whereas Townsend Centre is closer to the town of Waterford. In 1901 he is found living in Oakland Township, Oxford County (later Brant County), two doors away from his brother Daniel. Incorrectly recorded in the 1881 IGI census transcriptsion as being of Scottish origin. | Swears, Thomas Arthur (I18901)
|
| 6609 | Thompson moved from Nassagaweya in Halton County, Ontario to Fergus in Wellington County, Ontario in 1842 when Thompson was 14 years of age. This is the same year that his father died, so it is presumed that Thompson's mother and many of the other siblings of Thompson probably also moved to Fergus. Thompson worked for Argo and William Patterson as a clerk for nine years. In 1866 he went into business for himself as a store owner. "The family lived in a little stone cottage in Fergus and operated the store on the main street for 18 years. Then as the family were growing and needing more space, Thompson bought the Fergusson farm adjoining Fergus, which became known as Westwood Farm. They worked the farm for two years, built the lovely stone house on the property, making what was little better than wasteland into a productive and beautiful home." (Sherwood biography by Jean Taylor, unknown source. Not an exact quote present here -- grammar corrected.) | Sherwood, Thompson (I14270)
|
| 6610 | Thor was driven out of England by the Normans. He fled to Scotland where he was welcomed by King Malcolm Canmore. | Leofwinson, Thorlongus (I8892)
|
| 6611 | Thoraldus is claimed by Stirling descendants to be one of the nobles brought north from England by King David I of Scotland. He was made Vicecomes (Viscount) of Strivelyn, later known as Stirling. For the next few generations of descent I follow Stirnet. However, a look at the estimated dates indicates that there are clearly some generations missing. The descent does not become certain until John De Strivelyn of Carse and Alva on one branch and Lucas De Strivelyn of Rathern on the other. For the ancestry of Thoraldus I follow ClanStirling.org. However they indicate an erroneous connection to the Royal Stewarts through Eve, sister of this Thoraldus and apparently wife of Alan Fitz-Walter, 1st High Steward of Scotland. ClanStirling claims that the later Stewarts came from this marriage. However Stewart sources indicate this to be doubly wrong. Alan Fitz-Walter may have married a woman named Eve however she was not the mother of his children, nor was she the same person as the sister of Thoraldus. | de Strivelyn, Thoraldus (I4739)
|
| 6612 | Thored may be confused with Aethelbert of York. | Gunnarsson, Thored (I7316)
|
| 6613 | though notes indicate she moved to Grimsby sometime after 1918, Jackie Brown recalls her Aunt Maggie living on Hamilton Beach when Jackie was younger. | Duncan, Margaret Harton (I5374)
|
| 6614 | Three of John's children were born in Comrie, but his son John was born in Monzie, which is about a mile NE of Crieff. No satisfactory birth record can be found for John McNachton in Perthshire. Another researcher of this family claims John was born in Dalchonzie, Argyll, but I have no confirmation on this. | McNaughtan, John (I10706)
|
| 6615 | Three possible births have been identified for this Alexander ranging from 1712-1719 all with John as a father, but none with Robert as a father. The first son shown below could be from a different family -- it's hard to tell. It's also possible that Alexander was "out" in The '45 which would explain the seven year gap between the first and second children. That no marriage record can be found hampers our ability to determine if John Stewart 1743 belongs to this family or another. Possible birth: Alexander STEWART, b/b 1/3 APR 1712 in Drumarsock, s/o John STEWART and Mary STEWART Alexander STEWART, b/b 26/31 DEC 1716 in Ardcheanochdan, s/o John STEWART and Janet STEWART Alexander STEWART, b/b 13/16 FEB 1719 in Milntown of Strathgartney, s/o John STEWART and Jean BUCHANAN | Stewart, Alexander 3rd in Grodich (I15047)
|
| 6616 | Three possible origins are known for this Hanah. She could be: 1. born Abt. 16 Jun 1690 as the daughter of George Prangley; 2. born Apr 1701 as the daughter of Thomas Prangley; 3. a widow married to one of the earlier Prangleys whose identity is unknown. John Jennings transcriptions show her name at death as Elizabeth Minor. | Prangley, Hanah or Elizabeth (I12706)
|
| 6617 | Tignal J. (1800-1855), a member of the Mississippi Legislature who married Sarah, a daughter of Judge Peter Randolph. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Stewart_(Mississippi_politician)) In 1818, Tignal Jones Stewart was a transient member of the Dialectic Society, University of North Carolina, USA. In 1820, Tignal Jones Stewart was residing in Wilkinson, Mississippi, USA. In 1850, Tignal Jones Stewart was residing in Wilkinson, Mississippi, USA with his wife on a plantation valued at $22,000. He was employed as a planter. | Stewart, Tignal Jones (Planter) (I18393)

|
| 6619 | Tom married his cousin, Cora Hook. They had no children. His age is according to Nelker, but seems chronologically challenging as his mother would have been 54 when he was born. It seems more likely that he is a grandchild of this family misaccounted for by Nelker. | Steuart, Charles Thomas (I22434)

| 6625 | Tradition tells us that in 1445, while returning to his seat at Dunstaffnage castle from the great cattle tryst at Crieff, Sir John met and fell in love with the daughter of MacLaren of Ardveich. Although married, he began an affair with his new love which, one year later, produced a son. He was christened Dugald and was to be the first Chief of the Stewarts of Appin. After the death of his first wife, Sir John waited, for reasons we are unaware of today, for 5 years until setting up the marriage between himself and Dugald's mother, but it may have had something to do with the politics of the day. In 1463, Sir John set a wedding date and sent for Dugald and his mother to come to Dunstaffnage. Unknown to Sir John, there was a plot to kill the Lord of Lorn. It is not fully known, but it is thought to have been set up by the Lord of the Isles who was in a power struggle with the King of Scots, and who saw it as being in his best interest to neutralize this powerful and loyal representative of the King in the west highlands. The other plotters, which some feel included Colin Campbell, Lord Argyll, Sir John's son-in-law, were primarily represented by Alan MacCoul, the illegitimate grandson of an earlier MacDougall Chief. As the lightly armed wedding party made it's way from Dunstaffnage to the small chapel located approximately 180 yards from the castle walls, they were attacked by a superior force lead by Alan MacCoul. Although better armed, MacCoul's force was defeated, but not before mortally wounding Lord of Lorn. Sir John was rushed into the chapel and MacCoul and his henchmen ran into and occupied the deserted Dunstaffnage. With his last breath Sir John married Dugald's mother, legitimizing him and making him the de jure Lord of Lorn. After receiving the last rites, Sir John expired and a new chapter in west highland history was opened. (Electric Scotland) | Stewart, Sir John 2nd of Lorn (I17161)

| 6632 | Two descendants of John Brown and his sister match autosomal DNA with this author. John Brown is found in 1901 residing at 5 Castle Street in Portadown, Armagh, Northern Ireland. He is shown as 60 years old, born in 1841 in Armagh, employed as a labourer, cannot read or write. His wife Eliza and daughters, Annie and Elizabeth, and granddaughter Lilly, are residing with him. Son, Charles, is not found. John is not found in 1911 and is presumed to have died. Possible marriages: 11 Oct 1859 in Kilmore Parish, John Brown, a stuttle maker, residing in Portadown, bachelor of full age, son of John Brown, a labourer, married to Mary Reid, in Ballintaggart, spinster, or full age, daughter of Robert Reid, farmer. | Brown, John (I21025)
|
| 6633 | Two families appear to have been conflated together here. The information on Alexander Blair Stewart's family is not reliable and requires review. -------------- In 1891, at age 4 months, Alexander B Stewart was residing at 8 George St in the town of Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his parents. In 1901, at age 10, Alexander Blair Stewart was residing at 8 George St in the town of Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his parents. He was a student. Alexander Stewart has not been found in 1910/1911. On 19 Jun 1917, Alexander Blair Stewart was naturalized at Boston, Massachusetts, USA, having departed from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Alexander Stewart has not been found in 1920. In 1930, at age 45, Alexander Stewart was residing on Blue Hill Avenue in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, USA, with his wife and children. He was employed as a store clerk in an electrical appliance store. | Stewart, Alexander Blair (I22884)
|
| 6634 | Two of his daughters married Carmichaels of Glentarken, Archibald and Donald. DONALD CARMICHAEL AND HIS DESCENDANTS (1924). Compiled by the Rev J T Carmichael, Quthing, Basutoland, South Africa. Although locally published (Cupar: J & G Innes) The book deals principally with Carmichaels in Perthshire. About 1720 Donald Carmichael, from a farm, Lechdan Scritan, Balquidder, came to a relative named Comrie near Woodend, at Tynereoch, a mile or so east of St Fillans. Then he went to Crappich and married there Katrina Stalker. They had seven sons and one daughter. There were three farms at the Crappich, and Donald put a son in each. There was Duncan in Easter Crappich, Peter and John. Of the other sons, or their descendants, "some were soldiers, some died young, some went south, one went to the Highlands." The author then tracks the descendants of these three sons-Duncan, Peter, and John - through 7 generations, although there are only one-line entries for each, giving their names and that of their spouses. Some of these descendants came to Fife. In Dunfermline were John Carmichael (d 1898), who married Janet Gibson, and his brother, Peter Carmichael (d 1880), who married Lillias Wallace, both grocers and corn merchants, and John's son, Archibald (who emigrated to Australia in 1866 and died Ballarat, 1870s), and daughter, Catherine [who married Alexander Fraser (d 1918)] and grandsons, Dan A Fraser (d 1937), and James How Shepherd (married to Mona Fraser), who traded in Dunfermline as wholesale and retail grocers in Maygate under the firm of Fraser and Carmichael (1866-1971). In Dunfermline Peter and John Carmichael were visited by their nephew, Andrew Kay, son of Andrew and Janet Kay of Blairinroar, who emigrated to New Zealand in 1859, settled Waikato in the southern part of the province, and by 1916 was the oldest settler there. In Kirkcaldy was Gregor Macgregor, Director of Education for Fife (1919-1941), married to Jeannie Maclay and son of John Macgregor in Stirling and Isabella Carmichael (who died Kirkcaldy in 1923 aged 89); his brother, William Macgregor, married to Elizabeth Condie, was in Kennoway. Also in Kirkcaldy was Christina Crichton, married to Robert Dall, and the daughter of Alexander Crichton in Alloa and Christina Carmichael; her sister, Kate Carmichael, married to David Smart, was in Leslie. In Markinch was Elizabeth Heddrick, married to William Adams, and the daughter of Archibald Heddrick and Margaret Robertson in Causewayhead; her daughter, Wilhelmina Adams (married to William Ormiston) was in Dunfermline. And lastly, in East Wemyss was Hugh Macgregor (married to Annabel Hume), the son of James Macgregor and Christina Carmichael. | Carmichael, Donald in Crappich (I25900)
|
| 6635 | Two of the sisters (Catherine and Isabella) submitted evidence in an 1860s Glassingall Court of Sessiont case to settle the ownership of an Annat Stewart estate called Glassingall on the outskirts of Dunblane. In their testimony, Catherine and Isabella spoke of their great grandmother, Isobel Stewart of Annat who was married to Alexander 4th of Ballachulish. They also spoke of their grandmother having Annat aunties (although they did not name the grandmother) with whom she had boarded in Stirling. This grandmother by deduction is a female child of the marriage of Alexander 4th of Ballachulish and Isobel Stewart of Annat, daughter of Alexander 4th of Annat. Isabella's death registration indicates that she died at Castle Cottage, Doune, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, on 26 Oct 1869 at the age of 89. Her parents were given as James and Anne Stewart with a note indicating that Anne's maiden name was also Stewart. Her parents were both deceased. "The ladies of Castle Cottage appeared to have land at Cleish Mill which is near the Crook of Devon towards Clackmannanshire/ Kinross. "Isabella's will also make mention of long-standing financial provision by Charles Stewart of Ballachulish who would have been her second cousin. Additionally, Isabella’s will - she was the last of the four to die - was executed by Sir John Stuart of Kishorn, Shieldaig and Lochcarron who was the younger brother of Charles Stewart of Ballachulish."

|
| 6637 | Two versions of the Annat Tree conflict over the 1st of Drumvaich being either James or John. It is unclear whether there were two brothers who succeeded each other or whether there is only one whose name has been incorrectly recorded in one version of the Tree. Thus it is possible that the children shown here as being without names in the OPR may be the same persons as two of the children shown for John Stewart, 2nd of Drumvaich, below. James' existence is inferred from Kilmadock OPRs in which he is shown with the following children. It is presumed that he either died without heirs or sold the estate to his brother and emigrated. He is believed to have married Jean Stuart. | Stewart, James 1st of Drumvaich (I16457)
