| 6701 | There is no record of this Duncan's existence. He is suggested from onomastics only as the likely father of Colin McNaughtan, shown below. | McNaughtan, Duncan (I10637)
|
| 6702 | There is no record of Thomas' birth. His mother was from Anwoth, Kirkubright, Galloway, Scotland, and his sister, Elizabeth, was born there. It seems likely that Thomas was born there too, and that their mother returned home to be with her own mother for the births of her first two children. On 29 Jan 1818, at age 10, Thomas Angus is listed among the children of John Angus who were removed by writ from Lancaster to Over Wyresdale and placed in the care of the Overseers of the Poor. (See full text John Angus' notes.) However, at some point they managed to return to Lancaster, as Thomas and his sister Eleanor Angus died in 1825 in Lancaster, Lancashire, England | Angus, Thomas (I23185)
|
| 6703 | There is only one close birth for a Grisel McLaren in the Balquhidder OPR and she is a perfect onomastic and chronological match. MCLAREN GRIZEL DUNCAN MCLAREN/MARGT. MCLAREN F 24/06/1807 | McLaren, Grizel Grace (I26099)
|
| 6704 | There is some confusion as to which of Gilchrist's three wives was the mother of Bethoc/Beatrix. Wikipedia asserts that her mother was Marjorie, youngest daughter of Henry of Scotland, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon and his wife, Ada de Warenne Tradition accords that Walter Stewart married Beatrix, daughter of Gilchrist, Earl of Angus, however Scots Peerage vol.1, p.12 says, "He is said by Duncan Stewart to have married Beatrix, daughter of Gilchrist, Earl of Angus, but no proof has been found of this...". The tradition of this marriage is preserved in most secondary sources. | Angus, Beatrix of (I3766)
|
| 6705 | There is some confusion over the identity of this person. Burkes shows her as "Adeliz De Keveliock" and the daughter of Hugh De Keveliock, however Hugh De Keveliock lived a hundred years later so that would not be possible. Other sources show her as the daughter of Runulph De Meschines, which seems to be preferable. | de Meschines, Alice (I4529)
|
| 6706 | There is some confusion over this Robert De Beaumont. Burkes shows he and his father as the same person with Isabel De Vermandois as his first wife and Amice De Gael as his second wife. However the present configuration is preferred. | de Beaumont, Robert (I4058)
|
| 6707 | There is something amiss with Jonas Furler. His gravestone in Delhi Cemetery clearly shows "Jonas Furler, 1837 - 1905, his wife Martha Wintermute, 1872 - 1958." Buried with them are their children Iva May, 1898-1912, Cecil Roy, 1899 - 1982. Nearby is Corporal Eli Jonas Furler, 38th Batt'n, CEF, 13 AUG 1964, Age 74. The inscriptions have been double checked for accuracy. According to his gravestone, Jonas was 35 years older than his wife! However, Jonas Furler is recorded in the 1901 census as being born 10 JUL 1869. His age at time of marriage is recorded as 27 in 1897, making him only 1 year older than his wife. The census and marriage record are in agreement with each other, but in significant conflict with the gravestone. It is unclear if somehow two different Jonases have been confused for each other, or if the gravestone is in error. But such a significant error would certainly have been noticed by the family and corrected. This mysterious conflict remains unresolved at this time. | Furler, Jonas (I6407)
|
| 6708 | There was an Archibald McCallum in Puslinch of unknown origin. He married a sister of William McCormickand had a son, Alexander who married Margaret Stewart, daughter of William Stewart and moved to Michigan. It's not known if they were related. William is found in 1842, listed as William Callum, residing on Queen Street, Barton District, Gore (Hamilton City), Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, in a residence owned by a landlord named Patrick? Alexander. William was employed as a carpenter. Two listings away in a residence owned by the same landlord (possibly a multi-apartment dwelling) was John Stewart, also a carpenter, believed to be William's brother-in-law. Recorded as being absent from the household in 1851 are two adult males. These are believed to be sons of William's from a previous marriage as he was quite old for this to be his first marriage. Their daughter Elizabeth's marriage, above, was witness by a David McCallum. David is presumed to be a son from William's first marriage. Further research is underway to confirm this theory. In 1901, Elizabeth's daughter, Minnie Catherine Stewart was living with a Joseph H. McCallum (presumably a maternal cousin), born 11 OCT 1852 in rural Ontario, a Presbyterian and a druggist. In 1881, Joseph H. McCollum, age 29, is found in Milton, Halton, Ontario living with his wife Elizabeth, age 28, and their four month old daughter Jessie W. His occupation is listed as "D...". | McCallum, William (I9707)

| 6709 | There was another Asa Brown found in Wyoming County histories who was at least a full generation earlier than this Asa Brown. It is not known if they were related, but early information on this family is incomplete. In 1830 and 1840, Ryder was residing in Eaton, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, USA with his parents. In 1850, Asa was residing in Wyalusing, Bradford, Pennsylvania, USA employed as a merchant. He was residing with his wife, Mary, and 2 year old son, George. In 1860, Asa Ryder Brown was residing in Herrickville, Bradford, Pennsylvania, USA with his wife, Mary, and chidren George, Elisah, and James. On 1 Jul 1863, Asa was drafted into the army to fight in the American Civil War. North American Family Histories 1500-2000 Mrs Pauline B Brown Merritt, born in Herrick, Pa. Wife of Lynn L Merritt. Descendant of Capt. Stephen Harding, as follows: 1. James B Brown (1857-92), m. 1882 Inez Marsh (b. 1858) 2. Asa Brown (1820-83), m 1846 Mary Newman (1824-1907) 3. Elisha Newman (1791-1893) m 1813 Martha Harding (1796-1850) | Brown, Asa Ryder (I1745)

| 6710 | There was Edmondston of Hermitscroft. This appears from a retour, "Jan 27 1665, Jacobus Edmundstoun de Hermitscroft, haeres Joannis patris, in terris vocatis Hermitscroft, et aliis acris terrarum adjacentibus, pertinentibus ad capellam Sancti Phillani prope castrum de Doune in Monteith." (From GoogleTranslate) "James Edmundstoun of Hermitscroft, heir of John's father, in lands called Hermitscroft and other acres of land adjoining, belonging to the chapel of St Phillan (St. Fillan) near the castle of Doune in Monteith." The abandoned St. Fillan's Chapel is located 1.5 km south of Doune Castle. Hermitscroft has not been found on any maps, but is presumed to be a property just south of the village of Doune. | Edmunston, John of Hermitscroft (I5533)
|
| 6711 | There was more than one Donald Ferguson residing in Balquhidder at the time. Elizabeth's mother is not given in the parish register. It's not certain that she and her twin brother, Robert, are from the same family as the rest of the children shown here. | Ferguson, Elizabeth (I27390)
|
| 6712 | There was more than one Donald Ferguson residing in Balquhidder at the time. Robert's mother is not given in the parish register. It's not certain that he and his twin sister, Elizabeth, are from the same family as the rest of the children shown here. | Ferguson, Robert (I27389)
|
| 6713 | There's a bit of a sad story regarding my grandmother, Margaret Harten Hunter Wilson. Her parents, Mary Hunter and Samuel Wilson were very rich. I think the Wilson family were business people and had built up successful business across Glasgow and Edinburgh, which were passed down to future generations. Margaret's parents didn't approve of Thomas Whitelaw, my grandfather, as he didn't come from a rich family and they thought she could do a lot better. When she married Thomas in 1919 (she was 20 years old), her parents disowned her and she was disinherited. My Mother, Ellen (born in 1925), never knew her grandparents or any of her mother's family. But she did remember one 'gentleman', who she knew was her uncle, who used to visit Margaret. He would arrive in a big car and he always wore a top hat and tails - the kids called him 'The Toff.' And he'd give them pennies for sweets. My mum's family lived in a two bedroomed flat in Bridgeton (Glasgow) and she shared a bed with her brothers and sisters - they weren't destitute, but they weren't rich either. Margaret had 10 children in 20 years (1920-1937) and died in 1939. My Mum was 13 years old and, since her older sister had married and left home, she became 'mum' to her 5 younger brothers & sisters. Her dad, Thomas, became an alcoholic. Then war broke out! --Anna McKessock | Wilson, Margaret Harten Hunter (I20646)
|
| 6714 | There's a slim chance that the following birth is Mary's: "29 Decr 1701, ___ Steuart in Lianoch of Glenbuckie had a child bapt 29 Decr 1701 called Mary." This is the only birth of a Mary Stewart within the right date range in Balquhidder or Comrie. However, the OPR is unreliable at this early date and it could easily be that Mary's birth is simply not recorded. | Stewart, Mary (I17509)
|
| 6715 | Theresa/Thirza is found residing with her parents in 1851. In 1881 she was residing with her parents and brother James and is mistakenly recorded as James' wife. Later census records and her death record show her as significantly younger than she truly was. It is presumed that she lied about her age. The 1851 census which shows her as being 9 years old is presumed to be the more reliable. It's also possible that there were two sisters with the same name and the earlier Theresa died ca 1852 and the second was born about the same time and named after her deceased sister. In which case the later records might be giving the correct age. | Cuthbert, Theresa (I3586)
