| 6764 | STEWART, James, born ca. 1824. From Perthshire. Son of John S. (q.v.) and Jane McLean (q.v.) To New York State 1833, later to Puslinch Township, Wellington County, Ontario Farmer. M. Elizabeth Sinclair (q.v.) with issue: (1) Catherine; (2) John; (3) Jane; (4) Mary; (5) Alexander; (6) Elizabeth; (7) James; (8) Archibald; (9) Peter. (D.C. 23 Apr. 1967) (Dictionary of Scottish Immigrants, Donald Whyte) Farmed Front-Lot 12, Concession 2, Puslinch, next door to his father. (Wellington County Atlas) Harold Stewart indicates Peter's birthplace was Meikle Logie, Perthshire Scotland, and can confirm that Peter was actually born Peter Steele to John Steele and Jean Maclean. Apparently, the Stewart name was adopted after they came to North America. A family dispute of of some sort had them adopting the surname Steele instead of Stewart for an extended period of time in Scotland. OPR records in Little Dunkeld confirm this family. James Stewart was born James Steele to parents John Steele and Jean McLean. In 1851 Census he is found in Stratford, but he must have been just visiting as he remained on the Puslinch farm until 1875. PHS records (probably originating with a family record) indicate that James and his family moved "out west". In 1881 they can be found living on the Bruce Peninsula. Whether they later moved further "out west" is not known at this time. | Stewart, James Steele (I15996)

|
| 6776 | Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol. 3 lists an Alexander Stewart in Auchnahard in 1707 who left Glenfinglas about 1744-1748. No record of Alexander's birth has been found. Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions quotes Mrs. Stewart of Milton who recalled: "Alexander Stewart who had Auchnahard and left Glenfinglas was brother of John (grandfather of Stewart of Milton)." John Stewart of Milton was a grandson of John Ban Mor Stewart by his son Robert Ban Mor. Alexander left Glenfinglas ca 1745. This entry is noted in connection with the burial of Robert Stewart in Duart 1733-1818 of Gartnafuaran Branch IV and not in connection with the burial the Auchnahard Stewarts. Old Scots custom did not distinguish between "brother" and "brother-in-law". The term "brother" was was used for both. If "full brother" was intended then the term "brother german" was usually used. When the term "brother" was used it could refer to full brother, half-brother, or brother-in-law. Callander parish records show the most likely candidate for this Alexander was one who married Beatrix Stewart and resided in Grodich and Auchnahard and possibly later in Bochastle. It appears more likely that Beatrix Stewart was the one who was the child of James Stewart in Glen Finglas and not Alexander. In which case the "brother" reference above likely refers to "brother-in-law". However, just in case the reference was intended to mean "brother-german" then we will leave this Alexander here for reference. | Stewart, Alexander in Auchnahard (I14487)
|
| 6777 | Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Vol. 3, shows James Stewart as the predecessor to the later family of Stewart of Drumvaich. This claim is not supported by other sources and is questionable. Stewarts of the South mentions no family of Stewarts in Drumvaich. Duncan Stewart (1739) shows no descendants for James. Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, shows no information on James other than his name. | Stewart, James (I16255)
|
| 6778 | Stewarts of the South (ca. 1815) says that Duncan Rioch Stewart had a second son who was named Duncan Stewart and who was a labourer in the village of Thornhill and had four sons of his own who were of minor age at the time the document was written. | Stewart, Duncan in Thornhill (I15509)
|
| 6779 | Stewarts of the South (ca. 1815) says that Iain Riach Mor Stewart ("Big John with the tawny-grey hair") lived at Cambusbarron, St. Ninians, Stirlingshire, Scotland, and had four or five sons -- one of whom was a "good soldier" named John Stewart who served in the 42nd Regiment of Foot ("The Black Watch") under Maj. Gen. David Stewart of Garth. Despite this detailed description, this family has not been identified in parish or public records. --- Stewarts of the South, says: "2. Iain Riach Mor lived at Camusbarron near Stirling [and] had four or five sons. I believe one of them was the same John Stewart who served and died with you when in the 42 Regt. John Riach Mor was a very good soldier." | Stewart, John Riach Mor in Cambusbarron (3-Line) (I17314)
|
| 6780 | Stewarts of the South (ca. 1815) says that John Stewart was a "good soldier" who served in the 42nd Regiment of Foot ("The Black Watch") under Maj. Gen. David Stewart of Garth. His exact rank is unknown. It is not known if he married or had children. | Stewart, John (I16546)
|
| 6781 | Stewarts of the South (ca. 1815), says that Donach Rioch Stewart ("Duncan with the tawny-grey hair") was the son of Patrick mac Ross mhic Pharic Stewart ("Patrick, son of Robert, son of Patrick Stewart") and that Duncan was the patriarch of 2-Line of descendants of the Stewarts of Muirlaggan and Lianach. Stewarts of the South also says that Duncan was a good soldier and was a tacksman living at Lianach in Glen Buckie. It also says that Duncan had two surviving sons. One of his sons lived at Summerline on the Blair Drummond Moss (Flanders Moss) and was an "industrious man" who had two sons of his own. The other was a son named Duncan Stewart who was a labourer in the village of Thornhill and had four sons of his own who were of minor age about 1815. Despite this description, no family has been found in parish records or the 1814 Moss Census that matches this description. --- Stewarts of the South says: "1. Donach Rioch -- One of them, Duncan, a good soldier a Tacksman of Lianach [in] Glenbuckie left two sons: a son [who is] a moss laird [at] Flanders Moss [in] Summerline. [He is] an industrious man [who] has two sons with himself; and a son Duncan, his brother, [who is] a workman [in the] village of Thornhill [in] Down [Doune] parish. [He has] four sons [who are all] minors." | Stewart, Duncan Rioch in Lianach (2-Line) (I15787)
|
| 6782 | Stewarts of the South (circa 1815) says, “The real representative of that family at present is a young man (Walter), a clerk in London, grandson to the late Walter Stewart who disposed of the lands of Gartnafuara.... Walter has also another brother in W[est] Indies, named Alexander, who is said to be doing well.” | Stewart, Alexander in the West Indies (I14399)
|
| 6783 | Stewarts of the South (circa 1815) says, “The real representative of that family at present is a young man (Walter), a clerk in London, grandson to the late Walter Stewart who disposed of the lands of Gartnafuara.... Walter has also another brother in W[est] Indies, named Alexander, who is said to be doing well.” | Stewart, Walter Clerk in London (I17746)
|
| 6784 | Stewarts of the South c. 1815 incorrectly transposed the descriptions of brothers Robert and James Stewart as "Robert, a clerk in London" and his brother James as "James, a student of Divinity." When, in fact, it is Robert who was the student of Divinity and James who was the clerk in London. | Stewart, James Clerk in London (I16001)
|
| 6785 | Stewarts of the South c. 1815 says that Duncan "Oig" Stewart, son of Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie, had three sons: "Alexander, his successor, James, and Donald." The descendants of Duncan "Oig" Stewart are accounted as III, IV and V-Branches of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie. However, the descriptions of the origins of these branches contains contraditions which cannot be reconciled as described. The accounting shown here represents our best attempt to reconcile the conflicting descriptions. It is believed that Donald Stewart had no surviving male lines. In 1680, the testament for Donald Stewart in Edralechoch was registered. The deceased is believed to be the younger son of Duncan Oig Stewart, son of Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie. He is presumed to have died without male heirs as no sons are named in the testament. The following people are named in the testament: Christian Stewart, his sole executor (presumed to be his wife) Duncan Stewart in Dallinlaggan (believed to be Duncan Stewart, 8th of Glenbuckie) Alexander Stewart in Stronslany (Alexander Stewart, 8th of Gartnafuaran) Robert Stewart of Ardvorlich (Robert Stewart, 3rd of Ardvorlich, d. 1680) Alexander Stewart in Dullater (from 1-Line of the Invernhayle Stewarts in Lower Duart) | Stewart, Donald mac Dhunachy in Edraleachdach (I28042)
|
| 6786 | Stewarts of the South describes Alexander Stewart as, "Alexander, [a] tacksman [in] Invernenty [in] Braes of Balquhidder." | Stewart, Alexander in Invernenty (I14791)
|
| 6787 | Stewarts of the South describes Duncan Stewart as: "Duncan, [a] tacksman [in] Blarchroich [in] Braes of Balquhidder. [He] left two sons: Robt & Duncan Robert is a shepherd to Blair Drummond [in] Kincardin parish. [He had:] one son [who is] an honest and industrious person Duncan, his brother, now dead, left three sons [who are all] minors in Flanders Moss [on] Blair Drummond’s estate. His wife nursed a child to Blair Drummond and hath been the means of supporting his family." The Balquhidder parish register reveals the family of Duncan Stewart and Elisabeth McNie residing in Blaircrioch at this time with a son named Robert who is the right age. | Stewart, Duncan in Blaircrioch (I15782)
|
| 6788 | Stewarts of the South describes John as: "John Bain Mor, late tenant at Auchnahard, Glenfinglas, left five sons." The Ardvorlich History notes that John Ban Mor did not reside in Auchnahard until sometime between 1744-1748. This was about the same time that his brother Alexander left Glen Finglas. It may also be the time their father died. John became head of the largest and most prosperous branch of Stewarts in Glenfinglas. They became known as the "Bains of Glenfinglas". (Bain is an Anglo corruption of 'ban' which means "fair haired".) John was the lead defendant in "The Glen Affair" (1755-1752) in which the tenants of Glen Finglas were in dispute with their landlord over unpaid rent. John Ban Mor was still alive in 1772 when the matter was resolved. The Ardvorlich History claims that shortly after 1860 "practically the whole tribe emigrated to Canada and settled in Ontario." | Stewart, John Ban Mor in Auchnahard (I16670)
|
| 6789 | Stewarts of the South describes John as: "John, [who is] of a second marriage. [He and his brother Robert] live with their brother Charles." Their father had died by the time of the writing of Stewarts of the South (ca. 1815). John and Robert would have been still minors at this time. Presumably their elder brother became their guardian. | Stewart, John (I16565)
|
| 6790 | Stewarts of the South describes John in two contradictory entries: John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "One son, John, [is] a tenant in the Estate of Ramsay of Auchtertyre, now [the property of Henry] Dundas. [He is] a writer in Edinburgh. Rent £150. [He is] newly married." Stewarts of the South Appendix - Port of Menteith Parish 11. Mr John Stewart, his son, [in] Nether Rusky, [which is] something of the carse clay kind, same property (Sir John MacGregor-Murray’s), £100 | Stewart, John in Nether Ruskie (I16493)
|
| 6791 | Stewarts of the South identifies Robert Stewart as “Rob mac Pha[t]rick mac Iain Dubh Beg, a tacksman at Lianach in Glenbuckie.” He is also identified as the father of "James Stewart, a tacksman in Lianach, and Patrick mac Ross mhic Pharick Stewart. whose son was also a tacksman at Lianach in Glenbuckie." From these patronymics we can determine that Robert Stewart was the son of Patrick Stewart who was the son of John Dubh Beg Stewart ("Little Black John"), who is identified earlier in the document as being the son of Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie. We can also identify that Robert had two sons, James Stewart who lived at Lianach (identified as the patriarch of 1-Line of descendants), and Patrick Stewart (identified as the patriarch of 2-Line and 3-Line of descendants.) | Stewart, Robert mac Pharic mac Iain Dubh Beag in Lianach (I17793)
|
| 6792 | Stewarts of the South indicates that Robert Stewart in Allanabreck had one son who was a shoemaker in Callander. The Aberfoyle parish register shows only one Stewart family residing in Allanabreck at the time and the father's name is Robert and the son's name is John. It is more likely that Alexander Stewart (shown here as John's brother) is the shoemaker in Callander mentioned in Stewarts of the South. If so, then it is likely that John Stewart died young. | Stewart, John (I17652)
|
| 6793 | Stewarts of the South is confusing in its accounting of this family. It says: "There was one Duncan Stewart Brother to.... " and the entry stops at this point. It would appear that the original text is unreadable or missing. It is not clear who Duncan is a brother to. He may be the fourth son of Walter Stewart in Dunan. No birth record has been found for him. | Stewart, Duncan (I15562)
|
| 6794 | Stewarts of the South is confusing in its accounting of this family. It would appear that this Alexander is the one described as: "Alexander Stewart at Crochavie, Aberfoil parish, under the Lordship of Monteith, now belonging to the Duke of Montrose. Alexander has one son: Charles." However this identification is not certain. | Stewart, Alexander in Crachavie (I14483)
|
| 6795 | Stewarts of the South lists a James and Peter Stewart among the extended family of Dougald Stewart of Tulloch, but does not indicate the exact nature of their relationship. It would appear that they are most likely nephews by a brother of Dougald's whom the author either didn't know or omitted. | Stewart, _____ in Tulloch (2-Line) (I17676)
|
| 6796 | Stewarts of the South records that she married Cameron of Lundabhar. She married Allan Cameron of Lundavar, one of the witnesses for the defense in the Appin Murder. | Stewart, Janet (I15939)
|
| 6797 | Stewarts of the South records that Stank "formerly belonged to Buchanan of Auchlessy, afterwards to the late laird of McNab, and since sold to a gentleman in Glasgow. [Stank] is in the Parish of Callendar. According to Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions, James married Rebecca BUCHANAN, although no record of the marriage has been found. | Stewart, James Og in Stank (I16189)
|
| 6798 | Stewarts of the South refers to "There was one Walter, cousin to Doal Ban Mor...." The reference to "Doal Ban Mor" is problematic. It can be interpreted two ways: either as a transliteration of "Domhnall", the Gaelic form of Donald, which is pronounced similar to "Doh-al"; or it could be a transcription error for "John Ban Mor". This makes it unclear if Walter is a cousin of the previously mentioned John Ban Mor in Auchnahard, or if there was an additional Donald Ban Mor. Evidence from the Callander OPR (shown below) shows a promising identification of Donald Ban Mor as a brother of John Ban Mor. This would make Walter a cousin of both John Ban Mor and Donald Ban Mor. If the reference to "Doal Ban Mor" is indeed a reference to a Donald Ban Mor Stewart then there is an intriguing entry in the Callander OPR, where we find the family of Donald STEWART and Janet BUCHANAN as shown here. The Callander OPR indicates that Donald and Janet were "both of this parish" at the time of their marriage (which was double entered on 31 DEC 1735). What is particularly intriguing about this family is that their son John Stewart is recorded as born in Ballimenoch. The only Ballimenoch known to be in Callander was Ballimenoch of Leny. The only other reference in the entire Callander OPR to a Stewart born in Ballimenoch is that of John Ban Mor Stewart of Auchnahard (above). Onomastics and chronology would make this Donald Stewart an excellent candidate for being a brother to John Ban Mor. We note also that Donald's first son was born in Trean of Leny. Trean of Leny and Ballimenoch of Leny were both residences on the estate of the extended family of Buchanan of Leny. And John Ban Mor Stewart (above) married Mary Buchanan, daughter of John and Janet Buchanan of Trean of Leny. To add even further intrigue to this family is an entry in The Ardvorlich History which simply reads: 1712 Donald S. living SGL (in Auchnahard) Could this Donald Stewart be the "Doal Ban Mor" recorded in Stewarts of the South? It's also worth noting that Donald's last known child was born in 1745 suggesting the possibility that Donald died in The '45 or was forced to flee the area. | Stewart, Donald Ban Mor (I15499)
|
| 6799 | Stewarts of the South says "Alexander Stewart of Auchnahaurd, Glenfinglas, [has] one-eighth part of [Glenfinglas], [and is] married to Donald Stewart's sister at Auch [in] Glenurchay (Glenorchy, Argyll). He had five sons who are all minors." And later it says that Alastair had "a spark in the throat which cannot be quenched". The Ardvorlich History identifies him as Alastair Mor and also says that his wife Christian was "Auch's sister". Furthermore, according to Stewarts of the South, The Ardvorlich History, and the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856), Alexander/Alastair was the only son of James Stewart in Invercarnaig to survive to adulthood. | Stewart, Alexander "Alastair Mhor" in Auchnahard (I14440)
|
| 6800 | Stewarts of the South says "John Stewart, late tenant at Auchnahaird, left one son, called "John Tacksman of Grodlick" [Grodich]. One-eighth of Glenfinglas. He has one son who is a minor." Mrs. Stewart of Milton's 1907 Account of John's family says, "Of the Grodich Stewarts who left Grodich and came to Auchnahard, there were three of the name of John in succession - grandfather, father and son. That family eventually went to Aberdeen and became wine merchants there. (sic)" No record has been found of any later descendants of this family moving to Aberdeen to become wine merchants. It is believed that Mrs. Stewart has confused this family with a different one. She says later: "Of the [that] Grodich family, the first of the three Johns was possibly the son of John Stewart, Glenfinlas and Mary Buchanan." Mrs. Stewart of Milton, was Agnes Stewart, a first cousin to John Stewart's future wife who, in 1907, dictated a thorough account her knowledge of all the Stewart families who had lived in Glen Finglas. John Stewart died about 1778 in Auchnahard, Glen Finglas, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, leaving his wife widowed with three young children under the age of 5. No record of John's death or burial has been found. His death was previously mistakenly identified as 1783, however, this is believed to have come from a mistaken transposition of his son's death in 1873. John Stewart's widow remarried in 1778 to John Stewart in Corriechrombie. | Stewart, John Jr. in Auchnahard (I16838)
