6757 This "Robert" is a theoretical construct only. The earliest verifiable ancestor of this branch is James Stewart in Auchnandave in Strathyre. Onomastics would favour that James' father's name was probably "Robert". This "Robert" Stewart, who probably resided in Strathyre, descends from the Stewarts of Glenogle at an uncertain point. As this branch is recorded as being junior to the Monachyle and Stank branches, but senior to the later branches, it is suggested that "Robert" was probably a grandson of Duncan Stewart, 2nd in Monachyle (shown above), through an unknown younger son, possibly named "James". Stewart, Robert? (I18197)
 
6758 This "Unknown Stewart" is merely a theoretical place holder to anchor the later Stewarts in Comrie and Port of Menteith. These later Stewarts are recorded in Stewarts of the South as: "There was a branch of Stewarts that says they are of the family of Grantulloch (Grantully). [They] came to Strathearn with a daughter of Grantully that was married to the Laird of Lawers. But they know scarcely anything of their own extraction. This was the last Laird of Lawers of the name of Campbell, who was murdered by Barron Edramucky in Greenock when he was to be married to a grandaunt of General Campbell of Monzie."
The Stewart "daughter of Grantully" mentioned above can be further identified by the following references from Gordon MacGregor's, Landed Families of Strathearn: "James Campbell, 8th of Lawers, retoured heir to his half-brother, James Campbell, 7th of Lawers, on 12 JUL 1703 and is then styled as "a son by a second marriage of James Campbell of Lawers." He was murdered in his sleep by Duncan Campbell of Edramuckie while asleep in lodgings in Greenock on 22 APR 1723 and had no issue. His mother was Anna Stewart, dtr of William Stewart, 1st of Innernytie. She m AUG 1678 to James Campbell 6th of Lawers. William Stewart, 1st of Innernytie, was second son of Sir William Stewart, 10th of Grantully."
Thus we can say that this family came to Comrie and Menteith in the company of the family of Anna Stewart, daughter of William Stewart, 1st of Innernytie, but that doesn't help us necessarily identify the progenitor. It could have been Anna's brother, uncle, or a cousin. We can eliminate all of Anna's lawful brothers as they have all been accounted for. There is no record of Anna having a natural brother, but it's certainly possible that her father had an unrecorded natural son. There are a couple of possible connections with her uncles. The connection could also certainly come from further back. However, it would be unlikely that a relative more distantly related than, say, first cousin would accompany Anna. Thus, for now, we suggest the most likely connection would be by hypothetical unknown descent from William Stewart, 10th of Grantully, as presently shown here. 
Stewart, Unknown (I18400)
 
6759 This Alexander may be the Alexander Stewart in Gartnafuaran referred to 1708 testament of Alexander Stewart in Duart which refers to the deceased's wife as Janet Stewart, daughter of the late Alexander Stewart in Gartnafuaran. As the Gartnafuaran estate passed to Walter then we must assume that this Alexander either didn't survive or had no surviving male heirs. (This is a problematic suggestion as Alexander would have been about 85 years old in 1708.)

This accounting is not confirmed but is supported secondly also by onomastics. With Andrew's father and father-in-law both being named Alexander, it is almost certain the Andrew would have named his eldest son, Alexander.
 
Stewart, Alexander (I15055)
 
6760 This Alexander may not be accurate. This accounting is currently under review.

Alexander is tentatively accounted as 1st of Ardcheanochdan. He went by the patronymic of "Alasdair mac Donnachaidh".

A challenging reading of Stewarts of the South seems to indicate that Alexander was patriarch of III Branch Sliochd Sheumais mhic Alistir mhic Dhunachy or "Children of James son of Alexander son of Duncan"; IV Branch "Craiglevan Stewarts", a.k.a. Sliochd Dhonal mhic Alastair mhic Dhonachie, or "Children of Donald son of Alexander son of Duncan", and referred to as "Donald Stewart brother to foresaid James"; and V Branch "Lorachan Stewarts", described as descended from "James McAlistir foresaid". Thus, these three branches descend from James and his brother Donald who were both sons of Alexander, son of Duncan. The key question is, from which Duncan do they descend?

There are two clear possibilities: 1. Duncan, 5th of Glenbuckie, in which case the son Alexander would be this Alexander and the James and Donald would be his sons; or 2. Duncan, son of Duncan, 5th of Glenbuckie, in which case the descendant branches shown here would descend from this Alexander's brother Duncan. There is no sure way to tell which is correct. One must ask which makes more sense, that a clan would name itself after the estate laird or after his third son? Either are possible. The first is preferred. Thus it is suggested that Alexander's descendants are as presented here. 
Stewart, Alexander 1st of Ardcheanochdan (I15032)
 
6761 This Alexander presumably died young before the birth of his same-named older brother. However since one of these two Alexanders also went by the name "Sandy Rob" (likely the older Alexander) it is possible that there were two Alexanders who lived to adult, one of whom went by "Sandy Rob" . Stewart, Alexander (I14791)
 
6762 This Alexander was mentioned in the following bond: "Bond by Alexander Stewart in Ardvorlich, James Stewart, his eldest son, Alexander Stewart in Portnellan, Andrew Stewart of Blairgarrie, Duncan Stewart in Monochyle, Alexander Stewart in Glenogle, John Dow Stewart in Glenfinglas and Walter Stewart his brother german, for all their kin in Strathgartney and Balquhidder, to William, earl of Menteith. Dated in January of 1622." This is the earliest record we have for any Stewart possessing Glenogle.

Gordon MacGregor (The Red Book of Scotland) says, "Alexander Stewart, in Glenogle, who, with other heads of local Stewart families, subscribed to a Bond of Manrent to William, Earl of Menteith, in January of 1622." MacGregor shows Alexander as being a son of Duncan MacAlasdair Stewart in Carnlea. 
Stewart, Alexander in Glenogle (I14930)
 
6763 This ancestry for Malcolm, 1st Earl of Ross, is suggested by Stirnet.com, but is not verified. Ross, Malcolm of (I13822)
 
6764 This Andrew is suggested as the Andrew Stewart in Blairgarry mentioned in the 1622 Bond: "Bond by Alexander Stewart in Ardvorlich, James Stewart, his eldest son, Alexander Stewart in Portnellan, Andrew Stewart of Blairgarrie, Duncan Stewart in Monochyle, Alexander Stewart in Glenogle, John Dow Stewart in Glenfinglas and Walter Stewart his brother german, for all their kin in Strathgartney and Balquhidder, to William, earl of Menteith. Dated in January of 1622." He is also mentioned in: "Sasine to Andrew Stewart, eldest lawful son of James Stewart of Blairgarry, for the lands of Blairgarry to which Andrew Stewart in Chapel of Lanrick is bailie, and which lands had previously been held by the now deceased Andrew Stewart of Blairgarry, father of the said James." Dated 20 December, 1656. RS51/4/f.131r (National Archives of Scotland) Stewart, Andrew 2nd of Blairgarry (I15186)
 
6765 This birth is not confirmed. Elizabeth married Duncan McNaughton from Morell in Easter Glentarken. There was a family of McNabs also in Easter Glentarken at the time, namely the family of Duncan McNab and Margaret Stewart shown here as the parents of this Elizabeth McNab. They had a family as shown here, but their last child's name is not recorded in the Comrie OPR. It just shows McNab daughter born 13 May 1749. She's the perfect age and living in the same location as her husband shown here. McNab, Elizabeth (I22220)
 
6766 This birth is not found in Susan Sauve's transcriptions. Stewart, Margaret (I17499)
 
6767 This birth is supplied by researcher Darlene Best and is unverified and seems unlikely. Thomas, Hazel May (I19238)
 
6768 This child is as shown in the Kilmadock OPR. No name or specific date is given. Stewart, Child (I15429)
 
6769 This child's name and gender is unknown. Their birth is not recorded in the Aberfoyle parish register. It comes from an entry in the Aberfoyle Kirk Session minutes reprimanding the parents for fornication. Stewarts of the South says that Walter Stewart in Brig o' Turk had four sons. He only had two sons with his wife, Polly McGregor, thus it is presumed that this child was a son who lived long enough to be mentioned in Stewarts of the South, ca. 1815-1820. Stewart, Unknown (I25252)
 
6770 This child's name and gender is unknown. Their birth is not recorded in the Aberfoyle parish register. It comes from an entry in the Aberfoyle Kirk Session minutes reprimanding the parents for fornication. Stewarts of the South says that Walter Stewart in Brig o' Turk had four sons. He only had two sons with his wife, Polly McGregor, thus it is presumed that this child was a son who lived long enough to be mentioned in Stewarts of the South, ca. 1815-1820.
 
Stewart, Unknown (I25253)
 
6771 This child's name is not recorded in the Kilmadock OPR. Nothing more is known of this child. It is very possible that she is identical to Elizabeth Stewart, shown here as her sister with an unrecorded birth. Stewart, Child (I22270)
 
6772 This Daniel is recorded only in the 1873 Family Tree and is shown as having died young without children. He is not found in any census or OPR record. Stewart, Daniel (I15497)
 
6773 This daughter died in infancy. Her name is not known. Brown, Daughter (I22906)
 
6774 This daughter is found only in an on-line family tree. Her existence is chronologically challenging. She is not found with her birth family in any census records. The only possible chronology that would allow her to have married and died by 1844 would be if she was a twin of Elijah, b. 1828. This would have made her only 16 when she died, and it would make her mother only 16 when she was born. She is buried in Frewsbury Cemetery. Furlow, Daughter (I6541)
 
6775 This daughter is found only in the 1881 census. Her name is not given. Her age is given as 3 months. She cannot be identical with her sister, Esther, who is also shown in the same census. Stewart, _____ (I27548)
 
6776 This daughter is listed in the Kilmadock OPR without a first name. She may have died at birth, however she is claimed by McFarlane family tradition to have married Donald McFarlane of Lettir (ca.1685-1744). No record of any such marriage exists, however David Hume Stewart, 3rd of Ballachallan is recorded as the tutor of the children of Donald McFarlane in a testament by Alexander McFarlane in Lettir, a tenant of Donald McFarlane of Lettir, by which at his death:

"The balance (of his estate) estimated, in value to the sum of One Hundred and Forty Seven Pounds Scots money which was put in the hands of David Stewart of Ballochallan as Tutor to the children of Donald Mcfarlane of Letter who bought the said effects."

A tutor for minor orphans is most often chosen from living uncles or aunts. Thus it seems most likely that this unknown Stewart and her alleged husband, Donald MacFarlane in Letter, died young and that David Hume Stewart, 3rd of Ballachallan, as an uncle, acted as tutor to the orphaned children. This claim is supported by the following reference in the Stewarts of the South:

"3 Auchraig & Letter Do - at present Benny Munrows property sold by the late Robert's father to a family of the name of Stirling who sold it again to one Mcfarlane from whom the late David of Balchallan swindled it, although they were his sisters children [emph. added]. It was once a grazing place to Ardvurlich family." 
Stewart, Daughter (I15428)
 
6777 This daughter is not identified by name in the Balquhidder OPR and is presumed to have died at birth. Stewart, Daughter (I15578)
 
6778 This daughter is not named in the Comrie OPR and she is not found in the 1841 census with her parents and is presumed to have died at birth. Stewart, Daughter (I15581)
 
6779 This daughter was stillborn and was not named. Liptrot, Daughter (I8909)
 
6780 This daughter's name is illegible in the 1891 census. She is not found in the 1901 census and is presumed to have died young. Dawson, Frances Elizabeth (I3900)
 
6781 This daughter's name is unknonw. All we know of her existence is that she was the daughter of the eldest son of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie, and that she married her first-cousin, once-removed, Alexander Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie. Her date of birth here is merely an estimate.

Duncan Stewart (1739), says the following:
"Patrick [Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie] married, first, a daughter of Lecky of that Ilk, secondly, he married a daughter to Edmonstron of Broich. He had twelve sons that came to matruity, but died himself without issue, only the eldest left a daughter...."

He later says, "Alexander [Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie], who married _____ Stewart, grand-daughter to the foresaid Patrick...."
 
Stewart, Daughter (I21320)
 
6782 This daughter's name is unknown. Her father, John, is shown in the 1800 census as having three daughters under the age of 10. The 1810 census shows one of these daughters as being 10-16 and the others as not in the home (either dead or married young). Given an approximate average gap of two years between children, the present birth dates have been approximated. Furlow, Daughter (I6487)
 
6783 This daughter's name is unknown. Her father, John, is shown in the 1800 census as having three daughters under the age of 10. The 1810 census shows one of these daughters as being 10-16 and the others as not in the home (either dead or married young). Given an approximate average gap of two years between children, the present birth dates have been approximated. Furlow, Daughter (I6488)
 
6784 This daughter's name is unknown. Her father, John, is shown in the 1800 census as having three daughters under the age of 10. The 1810 census shows one of these daughters as being 10-16 and the others as not in the home (either dead or married young). Given an approximate average gap of two years between children, the present birth dates have been approximated.

The 1820 census is ambiguous. This daughter's brother, Cornelius, appears to be shown as the head of the household and with a female the correct age to be this younger sister. However the census is open to multiple interpretations. 
Furlow, Daughter (I6489)
 
6785 This daughter's name is unknown. She is shown in the 1810 census as under 10 years of age residing with her parents. Furlow, Daughter (I6490)
 
6786 This Donald is referred to as presently of Achnacone by Duncan Stewart (1739), who says, "Dougal, predecessor of Achnaguone, was third son to Alan Stewart of Apine. Of him, in lineal descent, is Donald Stewart, now of Achnaguone, who has brothers, Alexander, Duncan, Alan, Dougal." Stewart, Donald of Achnacone (I23832)
 
6787 This Duncan Galloch is recorded as the son of Donald Galloch with no mother's name given. It is believed there was only one Donald Galloch that could be his father, but this relationship is not certain. Galloch, Duncan (I6555)
 
6788 This Edward is described in the Colbert genealogy as a son of George Cuthbert of Castlehill and as the elder of the two Edwards named in the following: "Edward Colbert (who gave very early, first lustre to this family in France, and was the seventh progenitor in a right line to the illustrious and noble lord Lord Charles Edward Colbert, marquis of Seignelay, secretary of state to the most serene French king and superintendent of all his maritime affairs) was born lawfully in lawful matrimony of illustrious parents of the Scots nation, and which derive their pedigree from several illustrious and noble families for many ages, for Edward Cuthbert was son to Edward Cuthbert, a son of Castlehill, and to his spouse Margaret Lindsay, he was grandchild to George Cuthbert, baron of Castlehill, begot on his wife Mary Ross...."

The chronology presented in the Colbert genealogy is nearly impossible to reconcile exactly as presented, but it seems to be no more than a generation out, so it's possible that some minor errors may exist. See http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rykbrown/cuthbert-castlehill.htm for a more complete explanation. 
Cuthbert-alias-Colbert, Edward (I3245)
 
6789 This Edward is described in the Colbert genealogy as younger of the two Edwards named in the following: "Edward Colbert (who gave very early, first lustre to this family in France, and was the seventh progenitor in a right line to the illustrious and noble lord Lord Charles Edward Colbert, marquis of Seignelay, secretary of state to the most serene French king and superintendent of all his maritime affairs) was born lawfully in lawful matrimony of illustrious parents of the Scots nation, and which derive their pedigree from several illustrious and noble families for many ages, for Edward Cuthbert was son to Edward Cuthbert, a son of Castlehill, and to his spouse Margaret Lindsay, he was grandchild to George Cuthbert, baron of Castlehill, begot on his wife Mary Ross...."

Colbert, Edward (I2673)
 
6790 This Elizabeth Simon/Simmons/Sammons presents a big confound.

Stewart family records indicate Elizabeth's name as Elizabeth Simmons. Her marriage record shows her as Elizabeth Simon, where she is shown as the daughter of Israel Simon and Hannah Gordon -- no such couple can be found, however there is an Israel Sammons and Hannah Gordon. However, you will shortly see why that becomes problematic.

A family legend, recorded by Alice Fluegge, records the following about this marriage:

"After Hugh Stewart's first wife died "Hugh Stewart began working for Sir John Simmons down in the corner of Lower Canada, along the St. Lawrence near the corner of Upper Canada. Hugh fell in love with one of John Simmons' daughters, Elizabeth, who was born January 2, 1843. They had come from two different worlds; he was an orphan working his way up and she was the daughter of an important landowner. She was educated by a governess and could sing in both French and English. She also had learned the fine art of doing needlepoint. Her father refused to give Hugh and Elizabeth permission to marry, so they eloped about 1872. This caused a permanent rift between the two families and they never had any contact again." Thus ends the family legend, and begins the confound.

No such person as "Sir John Simmons" has been identified. And the marriage record of the "elopement" exists and shows that Hugh Stewart married in 1874 to the daughter of Isaac Simmons (not Israel Sammons, but close) and Hannah Gordon of Nassagaweya Township. Nassagaweya is just a few miles east of Puslinch and nowhere near the St. Lawrence. However the Sammons family did come from Cobourg in easter Ontario, which would fit with the legend. And Hannah Gordon was Québecois, which would explain the comment that Elizabeth could "sing in French and English."

However, Sammons family records indicate that the Elizabeth Simmons who married Hugh Stewart could not possibly be the daughter of Israel and Hannah, as their real daughter, Elizabeth, married John Allen Evans and had children at the same time as Hugh Stewart and Elizabeth Simmons, so Elizabeth Simmons and Elizabeth Sammons cannot be the same person.

Elizabeth's sister, Euphemia Ellen Sammons married Robert Dunn in Puslinch and had children only between 1865-1870. Hugh and Elizabeth weren't married until 1874 and their first daughter was Euphemia Ellen Stewart. I had previously wondered if perhaps "Elizabeth Simmons" was really Euphemia Ellen Sammons and that she used her sister's name when she married to hide her real identity as she was already married to Robert Dunn. This would explain why her father might forbid the marriage. However, it has now been discovered that Euphemia Ellan Sammons did, in fact, remain with Robert Dunn and died in Illinois, thus she could not be Elizabeth Simmons.

In fact, Elizabeth Simmons birth date makes it virtually impossible for her to be a child of Israel and Hannah Sammons, as her birth is only 7 months after one of their other children.

So who is this mystery woman? I am now starting to wonder if she might be the NIECE of Israel and Hannah, and that perhaps her real parents had died, thus making Israel and Hannah her guardians, not her parents.

Furthermore it now appears that the Sammons family came from Schoharie, New York, where they were involved with the estate of Sir John Johnson (!). Perhaps Sir John Johnson has become confused as the person of "Sir John Simmons". However, as I am not a descendant of this family, I will have to leave it to those who are to sort out the mystery of who Elizabeth Simmons/Sammons really is.

Birth registration records for Hugh and Elizabeth's Manitoba-born children show their parents' marital status as "unmarried", however their marriage record is found in Guelph. Very confusing! 
Simon, Elizabeth (I14325)
 
6791 This entry comes for a member-submitted IGI record. It may be that Batah is the same person as Elizabeth, or it may be that Batah is the same person as the unknown son found in the 1790 census with the gender in the IGI record being incorrect. Foller, Batah (I6110)
 
6792 This entry is uncertain and is derived only from the following gravestone inscription: "M. Stirton, son of David & McNaughton, 1908-1970". The inscription is on the side of the same stone as David A. McNaughton and is the right age to be his son. I believe this is a transcription error in the Crown Cemetery Transcriptions book, which I believe should read: "M. Stirton (McNaughton), son of David A. McNaughton, 1908-1970". McNaughton, M. Stirton (I10895)
 
6793 This eponymous person is a theoretical construct. There is no evidence to support his actual existence. He is here as a place-holder.

Ancestry.com gives the etymology of the surname Stobart/Stobbard as coming from the Old English surname "Stubheard". However, I believe they are one step short of the true origins. The name Stobart has its clearly definable origins in Northumberland and Durham near the border with Scotland. "Stubheard" if spoken in Gaelic is actually pronounced "Stewart" and is correctly spelled, in Gaelic, "Stiubhaird". It seems convincing to suggest that the correct origin of Stobart is an Anglicization of the Gaelic surname Stiubhaird or Stewart. 
Stewart, Stubheard or Stiubhaird or (I18340)
 
6794 This Eve is often confused for the Eve who married Alan FitzWalter, 2nd High Stewart of Scotland. They are not the same Eve. Thorson, Eve (I19357)
 
6795 This family does not show up in the 1880/81 Canadian or American census. Barnes, Amelia (I718)
 
6796 This family had children, the records of which are beyond the scope of my research. Stewart, Mary Elizabeth (I17775)
 
6797 This family had several children. The full descendant information is available from John Jennings of Australia. Hobbs, Eliza Caroline (I7918)
 
6798 This family is a perfect match for the following family on Kirk Lane on Flanders Moss in the 1814 Moss Census. Furthermore, later members of this family also came from Kirk Lane on Flanders Moss.

The heads of this household are Alexander McFarlane and Christian McLean, which could easily be a transcription error for McLaren. However their ages as given suggest they are way too old to be the parents of the younger children of this family. Thus, they may be the grandparents, or the ages given may also be transcription errors.

6799 This family is being discussed at http://www.hostmybb.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=325&mforum=stewart . According to descendant records, this Janet Stewart married Robert McLaren, b 1786, son of Donald McLaren and Margaret Stewart (m 1779 in Kilmadock and Callander, Margaret's birth has not been identified). Stewart, Jannet (I16836)
 
6800 This family is not found at all in the 1851 Scotland census and it is suggested that they likely emigrated between 1844-1851. Stewart, Daniel (I15499)
