| 6901 | The Balquhidder OPR says, "1706 May 2d Duncan Steuart in Monachill Mor had a child baptised called J___." But the entry does not indicate if the child was a son or daughter. | Stewart, J (I15964)
|
| 6902 | The Balquhidder OPR shows: "1742, Octr 13th, Robert Steuart of Marchfield and Janet Steuart his wife had a child bapt called ___." Marchfield has been identified with Blarcrioch, but may also be a translation of Monachyle (Monadh Achadh Iomhal). | Stewart, Child (I14827)
|
| 6903 | The baptism is double-entered on 19 Nov 1807 Baptism Date 29 Nov 1807 Baptism Place , Falkirk, Stirling, Scotland | Stewart, Walter (I26652)
|
| 6904 | The baptism is partially illegible for this entry. Only the first letter 'J' can be discerned in June 1693. His parents are shown as Patrick Stewart in Comrie and Janet NicClaren. It is suggested that his name is most likely either John or James as these are the only male names that start with 'J' that were common at the time. Onomastics favour that his name may have been John and that he died in infancy prior to the birth of his same-named brother, rather than being James. | Stewart, J (I15965)
|
| 6905 | The baptism of Margaret's second son John in 1744 specifically identifies her father as John Stewart and her brother as Andrew Stewart.

|
| 6906 | The baptism record found for Charles is Roman Catholic which is likely incorrect. It would be hard to explain why a Protestant couple in Tyrone would have their child baptized Roman Catholic and then that child marries Protestant. | McKenna, Charles (I20285)
|
| 6907 | The baptisms of the children of John Stewart in Auchrig were witnessed by James, Donald and Alexander Stewart. As it was common for witnesses to be siblings of the parents, it is suggested that John Stewart may have had brothers named James, Donald and Alexander. However they are not confirmed. | Stewart, Donald? (I20627)
|
| 6908 | The baptisms of the children of John Stewart in Auchrig were witnessed by James, Donald and Alexander Stewart. As it was common for witnesses to be siblings of the parents, it is suggested that John Stewart may have had brothers named James, Donald and Alexander. However they are not confirmed. | Stewart, Alexander? (I20645)
|
| 6909 | The baptisms of the children of John Stewart in Auchrig were witnessed by James, Donald and Alexander Stewart. As it was common for witnesses to be siblings of the parents, it is suggested that John Stewart may have had brothers named James, Donald and Alexander. However they are not confirmed. | Stewart, James? (I20686)
|
| 6910 | The birth date and birth family for Mary Harrop are not confirmed. | Harrop, Mary (I7648)
|
| 6911 | The birth date, marriage, and children shown here for John W. Clark are not certain. It is based on a match between his birth years as shown in the 1881 and 1901 censuses online, and the fact that he named one son, Harrold, presumably after his mother's maiden name, as well as the fact that he has a household servant, Thomas Clark, who matches his brother's birth year. | Clark, John W. (I2710)
|
| 6912 | The birth of Jacob Bell has not been identified. The IGI has 100 potential matches, none of which look favourable. For now this is a dead end. Jacob's marriage record reads: "Jacob Bell of the parish of Corbridge, Batchelor, and Ann Rutter of this parish were married in this Church by Banns this twenty eighth Day of April in the Year One Thousand Eight Hundred By me B Leeke, Curate. This marriage was solemnized between us Jacob Bell, Ann X Rutter. In the Presence of John Rutter, Mary Rutter." | Bell, Jacob (I826)
|
| 6913 | The birth place of her first son being Edraleachdach suggests that Mary may have come from the Stewarts in Edraleachdach. She may be the Mary Stewart born 15 Jan 1724 daughter of James Stewart in Corriechrombie and Coilantogle and Janet McKeon from 2-Line of the Stewarts in Edraleachdach, however she was more likely born a decade later. | Stewart, Mary (I32313)
|
| 6914 | The birth record for Leonard Tait in Cornhill, Northumberland, England with parents John and Martha Tait is not confirmed. However, it fits geographically, chronologically, and onomastically. | Tait, John (I18797)
|
| 6915 | The births shown here are not confirmed to be from the same family. Margaret's first name is not known for certain. Most of the births shown here give only the parents' names as Patrick McLaren and ___ Steuart. She is likely a granddaughter of John Dubh Mhor Stewart in Dalveich, but by which son is unknown. | Stewart, Margaret? in Glenbeich (I25262)
|
| 6916 | The Bisset(t)s were a Norman family who followed William into England in 1066. They were of high noblility and at least one branch of the family was invited to take up land in Scotland in return for helping William the Lyon to retain his crown. One of these family members was a Sir Walter BISSET(T) Lord of Aboyne who fell into disfavour when he was reportedly responsible for the death of his brother in law the young Earl of Athol. For this terrible deed he was exiled from Scotland. The Bisset(t)s married into several Scottish families FRASER, GRANT, GORDON, ROSE and Alan of Galloway's daughter married Sir Walter BISSET(T). Ian Mor McDonald (The Tanist) was married to a BISSET(T) from the vales of Antrim and their descendants are now McDonnell, Lord of Antrim. The Antrim BISSET(T)s were descended from Sir Walter BISSET(T)'s nephew who was also exiled from Scotland for his supposed part in the death of the Earl of Athol. This is only a brief understanding of the BISSET(T) families. Current research is being carried out to link the English families to the Scottish families carrying the name BISSET(T). It is thought the first BISSET(T) to enter Scotland was Henricus BISSETT an English noble in about 1200. (ElectricScotland.com) Their residence was Red Bay Castle, Glenariff, Antrim, Ireland. | Bissett, Sir MacEoin (I938)
|
| 6917 | The body of Mrs. Penelope J. Stirling, mother of J. H. Stirling, of Jackson, president of the First National Bank; Mrs. Anna Breed, of California, and Mrs. Lou Linthicum, of New Mexico, who died at her home at Brandon, late yesterday afternoon, reached Jackson at 2:20 o'clock this afternoon and was buried in Cedar Lawn cemetery, funeral services being conducted by Rev. J. B. Hutton, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. Deceased was eighty years of age. Clipped from Jackson Daily News, 23 Jul 1914, Thu, Page 8 (FindAGrave) | Stewart, Penelope Jones (I23068)
|
| 6918 | The Callander OPR entry for Janet's baptism specifies that her father was "Daniel Stewart, brother german to the laird of Glenbucky." | Stewart, Janet (I16331)
|
| 6919 | The Callander OPR records shows that John Stewart Tacksman of Wester Bridge of Turk and Effie McCallum, an unmarried woman, had a daughter born and baptized on 18? May 1752, named Catharine. | Stewart, Catherine (I15051)
|
| 6920 | The Callander OPR records that James Steuart and Janet Mcenan in Culinogle had a daughter born on 17 Apr 1721 and baptized on 19 Apr 1721, named Catherine. | Stewart, Catherine (I20864)
|
| 6921 | The Callander OPR records that James Steuart and Janet Mciarmin in Corihrombie had a son born on 13 Jan 1716 and baptised on 20 Jan 1716, named Donald. | Stewart, Donald (I20919)
|
| 6922 | The Callander OPR records that James Steuart and Janet Mckermit in Blairgary had a daughter born on 4 Nov 1718 and baptized on 11 Nov 1718, named Bettrice. | Stewart, Beatrice (I20932)
|
| 6923 | The Callander OPR records that James Stuart and Jan. Mceuan in Culinteagle had a daughter, Mary born on the 15th and baptized on the 19th. However there is no month given in the entry. It is recorded between 2 Dec 1723 and 13 Mar 1724, so it could represent 15 Dec 1723, 15 Jan 1724 or 15 Feb 1724. The January date has been chosen arbitrarily to record it in this database. Her actual date of birth could be any one of those three dates. | Stewart, Mary (I20940)
|
| 6924 | The Callander OPR records that James Stuart and Jan? McKarmin? in Blargary had a daughter born on 29 May 1723 and baptized on 2 Jun 1723, named Elizabeth. (The question marks indicate that the original entry was difficult to read and the transcriber is unscertain of the transcription.) | Stewart, Elizabeth (I20926)
|
| 6925 | The Comrie OPRs record Mary Stewart at the time of her marriage as being "from Balmeanoch of Ardvorlich". Balmenoch simply means "the middle township". Thus it cannot been said that she is indeed "of the Balmenoch Stewart family"; rather she may simply be "living in" Balmenoch. The relationship to the parents shown here is based on the assumption that she is of the Balemenoch family, but this relationship is not proven. | Stewart, Mary (I17287)
|
| 6926 | The date of Margaret's baptism conflicts with her brother Robert's, however these are correct per the OPR; not a transcription error. | Stewart, Margaret (I16867)
|
| 6927 | The date of Robert's baptism conflicts with his sister Margaret's, however these are correct per the OPR; not a transcription error. Robert Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as being a flesher in Glasgow. | Stewart, Robert in Glasgow (I17775)
|
| 6928 | The date shown for this "marriage" is fictional and should be ignored. It is here only to force my computer program to sort the marriages in the correct order. It is not known who James' mistress was nor when he was with her. | Mistress, Unknown (I10717)
|
| 6929 | The dates are quite uncertain for Alexander. There may be a generation missing between him and the James who is here shown as his father. Chamberlain to James Drummond, Lord Commendator of Inchaffray Abbey. | MacGruther, Alexander of Meiggar (I8864)
|
| 6930 | The dates shown here are just pure guesses and illustrate the difficulty of equating legendary ancestries with known historical facts. The reader should give much faith to these dates. | Man, Marion Of (I9195)
|
| 6931 | The dates shown here make this relationship chronologically impossible. I am following Stirnet.com for the relationship and supplying my own best guesses for the dates. Obviously there is some error here somewhere. | Fife, Isabel of (I5928)
|
| 6932 | The Deans moved to Calgary. | Brown, Florence Jean (I1928)
|
| 6933 | The death of James is uncertain. He is not mentioned in the Stewarts of the South so it is presumed that he died before the document was written (ca. 1815-1820). Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says that he "died young". | Stewart, James (I15974)
|
| 6934 | The deceased Alexander Stewart in Duniverig is mentioned in a 1799 legal action by Allan Stewart, flesher in Glasgow, in which his widow is named as Jean MacGregor and his children are identified as Duncan, John, James, Henry, Gregor and Alexander. The children had the following tutors - Alexander Stewart tenant in Shenachyle, and John McNab Writer to the Signet. (National Records of Scotland CS271/34341) | Stewart, Duncan (I24634)
|
| 6935 | The descendants of William Brown Underwood are beyond the scope of this research project, however the following biography of William's son Emanuel provides additional information on the family of William Brown Underwood: EMANUEL LEWIS UNDERWOOD, dairyman, Wilkes-Barre, was born at Forty Fort, this county, November 17, 1833, and is a son of William and Margaret (Swetland) Underwood. His paternal grandfather, Gideon Underwood (formerly of New England) was among the pioneers of Forty Fort, where he engaged in farming, dying there. The father of our subject was a native of Forty Fort, was a carpenter by trade, and resided at his native place until his death. His children were as follows: Sarah (Mrs. Thomas Hale), Melissa (Mrs. John Hufford), Emanuel L., and Frank. Our subject was reared in Scranton from seven years of age, was educated at Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, and after attaining his majority taught school fourteen consecutive years. He then embarked in the milk business at Wilkes-Barre, at which he still continues. He was twice married, his first wife being Harriet W., daughter of Alvah and Ann (Pierce) Phillips, of Wyoming, this county, and by her he had four children: Frank L., Fred, Orran and Eva (Mrs. Penn Spencer). Mr. Underwood's second wife was Mrs. Mary Becker Hay, widow of Peter H. Hay, of Wilkes-Barre. Mr. Underwood has been a resident of Wilkes-Barre since 1879. In politics, he is a Republican. http://www.usgwarchives.org/pa/Luzerne/1893hist/1893bios/93u.htm | Underwood, William Brown (I19889)
|
| 6936 | The Duncan Ferguson stone includes the following footstones: 30A Footstone F.F., E.C., 1791 30B D MF, M N. Duncan Ferguson in Laggan of Trathire, d 1784, 44, of ancient family of Artandaubh, by s Peter. It is suggest that "D MF" refers to Duncan Ferguson and his first wife Margaret McGregor. Or it may also be "Duncan McFinlay." The adjacent superior stone is suggested to mean "Finlay Ferguson and his wife, EC, who died in 1791." This would refer to Finlay Ferguson who married on 11 August 1759 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Elizabeth Carmichael. | Ferguson, Finlay (I21986)
|
| 6937 | The earliest confirmed ancestor of the Stewarts in Portnellan is John Stewart, born c. 1690, shown as the brother of this Thomas Stewart. John Stewart had a son was named Thomas and all of his children's baptisms (from what is believed to be his second marriage) were witnessed by Thomas Stewart in Drunkie. It is suggested that the Thomas Stewart in Drunkie who witnessed the baptisms is most likely John's brother. As the parish of Port of Menteith did not commence recording baptisms until 1698, then confirming this generation or earlier generations of this family is nearly impossible. Stewarts of the South accounts for the Stewarts in Portnellan as VII-Branch of the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran but does not indicate who they descend from. Thus, all that can be said with certainty of the their ancestry is that they descend from some earlier branch of the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran prior to the mid-17th century. | Stewart, Thomas in Drunkie (I30796)
|
| 6938 | The eldest son, Patrick, acquired a part of Strathyre is 1455, and had a charter under the great seal of his estate of Buchanan dated in 1460. He and Andrew Buchanan of Leny made in 1455 mutual tailzies of their estates in favour of one another, and the heirs of their own bodies, passing some of their brethren of either side. He married Gaibraith, heiress of Killearn, Bamore, and Auchenreoch. He had two sons and a daughter, Anabella married to her cousin, James Stewart of Baldorrans, grandson of Murdoch, duke of Albany. This Patrick is sometimes confused with his grandson, Patrick, who died at Flodden. However, "The Scottish Clans and Their Tartans", by W & A K Johnston & G W Bacon states it was Patrick son of Walter and Lord Graham's daughter who died at Flodden. | Buchanan, Sir Patrick 14th of Buchanan (I2014)
|
| 6939 | The exact relationship between Simon Fraser and his "son" Klyvert is not known. They may not be father/son. They could be uncle/nephew or otherwise. | Fraser, Simon (I6180)
|
| 6940 | The exact relationship of Ida to the rest of the Mayes family is uncertain. See notes on her "husband" Samuel J. Mayes for more information. | Rennie, Ida Elizabeth (I13017)
|
| 6941 | The existence of this Andrew is uncertain. Onomastics would suggest that Walter would name his eldest son, Andrew. He may be the Andrew who is cited in a 1622 petition by Lord Madertie for relief against those chargeable with him for the taxation of the Abbey of Inchaffray, “Andrew Stewart of Gartinfarrow” was charged a sum of money “for a part in the pendicles of the Kirk of Monzievaird” (Spalding’s Memoirs of Troubles in Scotland, vol. I, p.437, and Privy Seal 1622 13th Oct., vol. xiii, p.758, first series). If this is the same Andrew then he must have died young or emigrated as he did not inherit Gartnafuaran. Or he could be Andrew, son of Alexander, 5th of Gartnafuaran. | Stewart, Andrew? (I14586)
|
| 6942 | The existence of this James Stewart was only discovered in 2021 by professional researcher, Gordon MacGregor, (The Red Book of Scotland.) Gordon discoverd documents proving that Walter Stewart, 3rd of Baldorran actually had two sons named James, one lawful and the other natural (illegitimate). This lawful son inherited and later sold Baldorran, while the natural one, resided in Port of Lochearn. The later Stewarts of Ardvorlich descend from the other James Stewart who was born illegitimate and was later legitmated. "James Stewart entered into a bond with Colin Campbell of Glenorchy to pursue and capture Duncan Ladosach MacGregor and his sons Gregor, Malcolm and Duncan on 11 March 1551, and disponed what remaining rights he had to the lands of Balindoran in favour of Sir James Stewart of Doune on 28 December 1573. He was served heir to his father in the lands of Croftinderry and Innercreichan on 15 August 1575,4 and had Sasine for those lands on 13 December following, which he disponed to Henry Stewart, son of James Stewart of Doune, by charter dated 19 December 1576, in which he styled son and heir of the late Walter Stewart of Ballindoran." (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) Other records indicate that James sold Baldorran to the Glorat family. And Duncan Stewart's genealogy (1739) incorrectly indicates that it was his father, Walter, who sold Baldorran to William Livingston of Kilsyth ca. 1524. However, Gordon MacGregor's research in The Redbook of Scotland has uncovered the actual record of disponement to James Stewart of Doune. It seems more likely that it was James Stewart of Doune, not James Stewart of Baldorran, who sold Baldorran to the Glorat family. | Stewart, James 4th of Baldorran and Balquhidder (I22068)
|
| 6943 | The family of James Stewart and Janet McFarlane are identified through OPRs as the only viable birth family for John Stewart in Wards of Goodie. (See notes on son, John, for further explanation.) It seems likely that he is the James Stewart, in Ward of Goodie, mentioned in the Port of Menteith OPR as having died 20 Apr 1817 with funeral costs of £6. The following families are found in the Kincardine OPR as possible additional relationships for James Stewart, none of which impact the onomastic matching for the primary marriage shown here:James Stewart and Elizabeth Stewart. Married 1756 March 13th, James and Elizabeth Stewarts both in this parish listed for proclamation in order to marriage. 1. Janet, daur to James Stewart and Elizabeth Stewart. 1757 March 20 James Stewart and Janet/Mary McEwen (no marriage) 1. Catharine, daugr to James Stewart and Janet McEwen. 1765 Septr 1st 2. Jas, son to Jas Stewart and Mary McEwan at Thornhill. 1767 Augst 9th James Stewart and Isobell Dunn - Thornhill, married 1778 May 16, James Stewart in this parish and Isobel Dun in Dunblane. 1. ___, daugr to James Stewart and ___. 1779 May 17 2. Helen, daugr to James Stewart and Isobell Dunn, Thornhill. 1781July 15 3. James, son to James Stewart and Isobel Dunn. 1783 Novr 16 When searching for a potential birth family for James, there are no viable candidates in the Kincardine OPR and only two viable candidates in the Port of Menteith OPR. The Calziemuck family is preferred as it is located very close to Wards of Goodie, whereas the Drunkie family is too far north and appears to belong to another branch already documented. John Stewart and Janet McFarlane in Calziemuck (Ruskie) and Bogtown (on the estate of Rednock House) (No marriage record found.) 1. John M 26/3/1727 John Janet McFarlane in Calziemuck W: John S 2. Margaret F 9/3/1729 John Janet McFarlane in Calliemuck 3. Isobell F 28/3/1731 John Janet McFarlan in the ?? Kallimuck 4. Agnes F 21/2/1735 John Janet McFarlane in Calliemuck 5.

|
| 6944 | The family of Janett Black is recorded in the 1906 Wellington County Historical Atlas as follows: "BLACK, John , b. in Ayrshire, Scot., 1799, d. 1876, age 77. He was a Liberal and a Presbyterian, and was a mason by trade. He came to Canada about 1832. He was one of the earliest settlers in Puslinch, where he took up 200 acres, rear lots 20 and 21, con. 7, which he cleared and lived upon. He assisted to build, in Guelph, the Court house, Gaol, F.W. Stone's store, and Wright's store, on Gordon Street. He m. Janet Black in Scot. While her husband was away working at the trade, Mrs. Black was obliged often to remain along, exposed to the dangers of pioneer days, and her grandchildren have often heard her speak of hearing wolves about the house. Issue: William, Mrs. Capt. David McFarlane, Parry Sound; Hugh, d., unm., and one died in youth. "William, b. 1834, d. 1885, succeeded to the homestead. He had a local reputation as an entertainer, and was noted for his songs and stump speeches. He was Township Councillor for one year, and Trustee for some years, and was a Presbyterian and a Liberal. He m. Isabella Amos, and afterwards Maggie Patterson. First issue: John McReady, who owned the homestead, and d. in Montana; Jane (d. young), and Mrs. John A. Ord, the present owner of the homestead. Second issue: Maria, living with her mother in Guelph, and Margaret, d. about 19." (Historical Atlas of the County of Wellington, Ontario. Toronto: Historical Atlas Publishing Co., 1906) "The reason the Aberfoyle Black homestead that Janetta and John A. Ord inherited, was because her brother John McCready Black was murdered in a saloon in Montana in 1905." (Andrea Norton) | Black, Janetta E. (I1092)
|
| 6945 | The family of John James Angus is noteworthy in that, despite having 7 children, none of those children had known children themselves. This line became extinct after the children of John James Angus. John James Angus was born in 1844 in Otley (near Bradford), Yorkshire, England. In 1851, at age 7, James Angus was residing at 38 Craven Street in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, with his parents and siblings. James was only 8 years old in 1852 when his father died. In 1861, at age 17, James Angus was residing at 21 Wapping Road in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, with his older sister, Ellen. They were living next door to their widowed mother. John James was employed as a worsted spinner. James was 18 years old in 1862 when his mother died. On 16 Mar 1868, at age 23, James Angus married in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, to 21 year old Elizabeth Ashworth. In 1871, at age 27, James Angus was residing at 19 Jarratt Street in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, with his new wife and their young son, Samuel. In 1881, at age 37, James Angus was residing at #8 Four Lane Ends in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, with his wife and their young children. He was employed as an overlooker. Also residing with them was 74 year old tenant, James Hodgson, He may be related to Overend Hodgson, the second husband of James' sister, Mary Ann Angus. In 1891, at age 47, James Angus was still residing at #8 Four Lane Ends in West Bradford, Yorkshire, England with his wife and children. He was employed as a weaving overlooker. In 1901, at age 57, John J Angus was residing at 9 Kensington Street in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, with his wife and children. He was employed as a combing overlooker in a wool factory. John James Angus has not been found in the 1911 census. He died four years later in 1915. | Angus, John James (I22978)
|
| 6946 | The family shown here for Robert Stewart with Ann Clark is not confirmed to be the Robert, son of Allan Stewart in Doune. The family is suspected to connect here and is shown here for research purposes but is not confirmed. | Stewart, Robert (I28084)
|
| 6947 | The father of John Stewart in Corriechrombie (below) is unknown. It is tempting to suggest from the fact that John's eldest recorded son was James that his father's name was also James. This suggestion is supported by the fact that 2-Line of the Stewarts in Ardcheanchdan and Duart descend from James mac Alistir mhic Donnachaidh Stewart. However, his name may actually be John and the following family could be his family: John and Janet Steuarts in Ardihanibrochan had a son on 26 Dec 1716, bapt 31 Dec 1716, named Alexander John Stewart in Corriechrombie's first wife already had three children from a previous marriage. The first of which was named John. Thus, John Stewart in Corriechrombie may have not felt the need to re-use the name John for his first biological son, if he already had an adopted son named John. The only family shown for 2-Line is James's son John Stewart in Corriechrombie. Thus it is presumed that John Stewart in Corriechrombie had no brothers remaining alive in Scotland c. 1815. | Stewart, John or James? in Ardcheanochdan (I16152)
|
| 6948 | The fifth son of this family is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Robert died last year." But this reference makes no sense. It is possible, but unlikely, that there were two brothers both named Robert. It is more likely that the author made an error here in the name of one of the two Roberts. | Stewart, Son (I17600)
|
| 6949 | The first recorded child of James Stewart and Mary McFarlane is John Stewart in 1717. As they were married in 1714, it is likely that they had a prior unrecorded child around 1715. However, no record of such a child has been found. | Stewart, _____ (I30396)
|
| 6950 | The five-year gap between the births of Alexander and Donald Ferguson Jr suggest the likelihood that Donald Ferguson Sr and Elizabeth Stewart had another child about 1790 whose baptism isn't recorded. | Ferguson, _____ (I29081)
|
