| 6951 | The following biography is excerpted from a longer biography of James' son, Dr. William Nolan Stewart. "Col. James D. Stewart was born in Mississippi in 1824 and was educated in the University of Virginia, graduating from this institution in 1844, after which he began the study of law at Cambridge. Upon returning to Mississippi, he began the battle of life as a planter of Wilkinson county, and in 1850 was married to Miss Amanda Yerger, a daughter of George S. Yerger, and about 1852 moved to Hinds county. Three years later he took up his abode in Jackson and practiced law for some time. In 1863 he entered the confederate army as chief of ordnance for Mississippi, receiving his appointment from the governor, and held this position until the close of the war. He is a veteran of the Mexican war also, having served during the conflict in Company B, Jefferson Davis' regiment. "Although the Colonel has never been an officer seeker, yet he has been prominent in the affairs of his section, and the people of Wilkinson county early showed their appreciation of his ability by electing him to the lower house of the state legislature, in which body he was an active member during 1849. In 1879 he was elected to the state senate from Hinds county, discharging his duties in 1880, and during that year he introduced bills which became laws, one being an act to prevent prize fighting, and another for the prevention of cruelty to animals, both of which were wise and humane measures. In 1878 he was elected president of the Howard association, soon after the organization of that society, and was one of its most useful members during the yellow-fever epidemic of 1878. In 1885 he was appointed registrar of the United States land office at Jackson, which position he ably filled for four years. He is the father of nine children, five of whom are living: George Yerger, a druggist; William N., our subject; Nolan, who was physician for the Indians of Arizona, having received his appointment from the government and is now assistant physician of the insane asylum at Jackson, Miss., and Ida, who is the wife of Percy Lemly, of Jackson; Warren was assassinated at Arcola, Washington county, Miss., in 1889; Fulton died in 1879; Amanda is with her father in Jackson; two sons died in infancy. "Colonel Stewart lives in a beautiful residence on Fortification street in Jackson, Miss., and although he has reached the allotted age of three-score years and ten, he shows little of the ravages of time and is remarkably well preserved." [Excerpt from the biography of Dr. William Nolan Stewart, son of Col. James D. Stewart, as published in Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Louisiana; Chicago; The Goodspeed Publishing Company, 1892; transcribed by Kim Mohler] ----------- James D. Stewart (born 1824) planter, of Jackson, Mississippi. State Representative and Senator, and United States Registrar of Public Lands during President Cleveland's first administration. ----------- From the Vicksburg Herald, June 28, 1905, p. 1: Jackson, Miss. Funeral services over the remains of the late Col. James D. Stewart, for many years one of the foremost and highly respected citizens of Jackson, took place this afternoon at 4 o’clock at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Percy Lemly, on North President street. Col. Stewart died yesterday at Little Rock after an illness of several weeks. He had been in feeble health for many months and the end was not unexpected. The remains reached here from Little Rock, via Memphis, this morning at 6:30 o’clock and were conveyed to the Lemly residence. During the forenoon many old friends called to pay their last sad tribute to his memory. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Walter C. Whittaker, rector of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, of which deceased was a lifelong member. The Pearl Lodge No. 23, A.F. & A.M. conducted the Masonic ritual at the cemetery. The following acted as pall-bearers: Honorary-Messrs. George C. Eyrich, Dr. T. J. Mitchell, S. Livingston, R. J. Harding, J. H. Morris and S. Green. Active-Messrs S. Virden, D. O. M.

| 6952 | The following biography is provided by Miriam Robbins. See http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~kidmiff/daniel_swears.htm for more information on this family. Daniel Swears, III was born 7 April 1777 in Lancaster, Worcester County, Massachusetts, and was baptized there at First Church on 18 May 1777. His parents were Daniel Zwears, II (a Revolutionary War veteran who fought as a member of the Green Mountain Boys for Vermont) and Abigail Willard; he was their third child. His siblings were: Hannah Zwears (Mrs. Thomas Betterley, Jr.) (b. 1773); Lois Zwears (Mrs. Darius Mann, Sr.) (b. 1774); Benjamin Zwears, Sr. (b. 1779); Peter Zwears (b. 1783) and Henry Zwears, Sr. (1785 - 1863). By the time Daniel was 13 years old, his family had moved to Dummerston, Windham County, Vermont, where his mother's brother Henry Willard also resided. Daniel married Mary [surname unknown] probably c. 1796. They had at least three children: Rhoda Sweers (Mrs. Jeremiah F. York, I) (1797 - 1876); Daniel Sweers, IV (1803 - 1873); and Manley Sweers (1808 - 1894). It is possible they had a daughter named Ruth Sweers, who may have been married to Freeman Wood of New York. Daniel and his family were living in Sandgate Township, Bennington County, Vermont when the 1800 Federal Census was taken. It is known that Rhoda, Daniel, Jr. and Manley were all born in Vermont. Manley's obituary states he was born in "Wooster, Vermont". There is a Worcester (pronounced "Wooster") located in Washington County, Vermont, which is probably the correct location. A fire in 1816 destroyed the town's records, so there is no other known documentation to show the Swears family's residence there. In May 1809, Daniel, Sr. and Mary moved their family to what is now Chippewa, Welland County, Ontario, Canada, near the Chippewa Creek. It is likely that the family moved at the same time as (or to be near) Daniel, Sr.'s brother Peter, who is known to have settled in Chippewa. Family history makes mention several times of an brother of Daniel's who lived in Canada. When the War of 1812 broke out between the United States and Great Britain, the British army in Canada was going to press (forcibly draft) Daniel into the army, so he escaped to New York State. At this time the Battle of Chippewa (a.k.a. the Battle of Black Rock) was in progress, and Daniel's wife Mary and their children later recalled seeing the British go up to battle in the morning and returning in the afternoon, carrying the wounded in ox-carts. Not long after, the children's uncle (probably Peter Zwears) went to a Captain Cummings and told him the situation of Daniel's family. The captain allowed Mary Swears to go down to the [Niagara?] river to flag some boats, which came and carried the family across to the U.S. side. There they joined Daniel and then proceeded to what is now the Town of Clarence, Erie County, New York, where Daniel left them in the care of a wealthy man named Mr. Beeman. This man was probably Colonel Beeman, a local pioneer and leader of the community. Daniel's uncle Jacob had served in the Revolutionary War under a Captain Beeman in Massachusetts, and it is possible that this was the same man (or at least a relative). Daniel enlisted and served as a private in the American army in Chapens' Company of the New York Militia. When the war ended, he returned home, and soon after the family moved to Hunt's Hollow in the Town of Gorham, Ontario County, New York, where his daughter Rhoda married Jeremiah F. York, I, another War of 1812 veteran. In 1819, Daniel and his family moved back to the Town of Clarence, where they lived for many years. In the winter of 1835 - 1836, Daniel's sons Daniel, Jr. and Manley set out through Canada to Michigan and bought land in Section 26 of Atlas Township, Genesee County. Daniel and Mary followed their sons the next spring and lived there until their deaths, Daniel dying between 1840 and 1850; Mary in 1860. Both were buried in the Sweers Family Burial Ground on Manley's farm. | Swears, Daniel (I18361)

| 6953 | The following biography, from Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Louisiana, published in 1892, contains errors which have been noted in the body of the text. "W.N. STEWART, M.D., is a well-known physician and planter of West Feliciana parish. He is a native of Mississippi and was born in Hinds county, May 16, 1853. He is a son of James D., a native of Wilkinson county, and Amanda (Yerger) Stewart, a native of Warren county, Miss. The mother of our subject is now deceased and his father is a resident of Jackson, Mississippi. James D. Stewart is an influential and well-known citizen of the last-named place. He is of Scotch descent, his paternal great-grandfather, James Stewart, having been a fugitive from Scotland to South Carolina in 1745. [sic - James D. Stewart's paternal great-grandfather was William Stewart, younger of Ledcreich, who immigrated with his older brother, Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, who immigrated in 1739 of their own free wills, not as fugitives in 1745. They left before the Jacobite Uprising.] After residing for some time in that state he removed to Tennessee [sic - It was William's son, James Stewart, b. 1763, who moved to Tennessee. Two generations have been conflated in this account.], of which state he was one of the first settlers, and did his full share in the development of the section in which he lived. His son James was born on his plantation in Tennessee [sic, it was James' son William, b. 1793, who was born on the Tennessee plantation.], was there reared and educated and followed the calling of his father, being a planter for the most part of his life. His efforts were rewarded by substantial success, and his latter days were spent in the enjoyment of a comfortable competency. He died while on a visit to his sons in Mississippi, about the year 1856. [sic - No ancestor died in 1856. With the conflation of generations above it's now unclear who the author is referring to.] His son, William [This William is the same person described as James above who was born on his father's plantation. Again, two generations have been confused.], the father of James D. Stewart, was also born in Tennessee, but about 1805 he came to Mississippi, and, like his father, became a planter. He became very wealthy, and died in 1835. [Correct. And from here to the end it appears to be all correct.] Col. James D. Stewart was born in Mississippi in 1824 and was educated in the University of Virginia, graduating from this institution in 1844, after which he began the study of law at Cambridge. Upon returning to Mississippi, he began the battle of life as a planter of Wilkinson county, and in 1850 was married to Miss Amanda Yerger, a daughter of George S. Yerger, and about 1852 moved to Hinds county. Three years later he took up his abode in Jackson and practiced law for some time. In 1863 he entered the confederate army as chief of ordnance for Mississippi, receiving his appointment from the governor, and held this position until the close of the war. He is a veteran of the Mexican war also, having served during the conflict in Company B, Jefferson Davis' regiment. Although the Colonel has never been an officer seeker, yet he has been prominent in the affairs of his section, and the people of Wilkinson county early showed their appreciation of his ability by electing him to the lower house of the state legislature, in which body he was an active member during 1849. In 1879 he was elected to the state senate from Hinds county, discharging his duties in 1880, and during that year he introduced bills which became laws, one being an act to prevent prize fighting, and another for the prevention of cruelty to animals, both of which were wise and humane measures. In 1878 he was elected president of the Howard association, soon after the organization of that society, and was one of its most useful members during the yellow-fever epidemic of 1878. In 1885 he was appointed registrar of the United States land office at Jackson, which position he ably filled for four years. He is the father of nine children, five of whom are living: George Yerger, a druggist; William N., our subject; Nolan, who was physician for the Indians of Arizona, having received his appointment from the government and is now assistant physician of the insane asylum at Jackson, Miss., and Ida, who is the wife of Percy Lemly, of Jackson; Warren was assassinated at Arcola, Washington county, Miss., in 1889; Fulton died in 1879; Amanda is with her father in Jackson; two sons died in infancy. Colonel Stewart lives in a beautiful residence on Fortification street in Jackson, Miss., and although he has reached the allotted age of three-score years and ten, he shows little of the ravages of time and is remarkably well preserved. W.N. Stewart, our subject, was reared in Jackson, Miss., and educated in the common schools, and when old enough attended at New Orleans and later a medical school in Louisville, Ky., where he graduated in 1876. He commenced the practice of his profession in Jackson, La., where he remained for two years. At the end of that time he came to West Feliciana parish and settled in the Tunica Hills settlement, where he engaged in the practice of medicine and in planting. He owns a fine tract of land near Row Landing. Dr. Stewart was married to Miss Ida Heath, the daughter of John T. and Harriet L. (Perkins) Heath, natives of Louisiana. John T. Heath is now deceased, and was a man of considerable learning, having graduated with the highest honors of his class when but seventeen years of age, at Centenary college, and was an attorney. He was in the same class with Judges Kilbourne and Keman and Rev. C.G. Andrews, D.D., and other noted graduates of this college. He died at the early age of thirty. Though so young, there was no lawyer of north Louisiana who had a larger practice, or whose legal opinions were more valued, and had he lived he would have undoubtedly stood in the foremost rank of his profession. His death occurred at Shreveport. His paternal ancestors were of English descent, having removed from England to Virginia some time during 1700 and something. His grandfather, Thomas Heath, was adopted at an early age by a wealthy old bachelor, Uncle Ethel Heath, of South Carolina, and there made his home. His father, J.T. Heath, Sr., upon coming of age removed with his slaves to St. Landry parish, La., purchased a plantation, and there lived until the time of his death. The wife of Dr. Stewart was reared in East Feliciana parish and at Shreveport, La., and was educated at Silliman Collegiate institute, of Clinton, La. She was the eldest child in a family of seven, of whom four are living: Thomas W. Heath is a merchant at Pattersonville, La.; Sally N. is the wife of George Petrie, of Baldwin, La.; Anna McW. Is the wife of S.L. McBee, of East Feliciana parish; Dr. John P. died in this parish in 1878, of yellow fever (after the epidemic his name was found on the roll of honor in all the medical journals of the United States, and none more worthy, for though the only physician in his section, and almost an entire stranger, he gave his life for those who scarcely knew him); Henry P. died in East Feliciana parish in 1891; and Mary died at the age of five years. To Dr. and Mrs. Stewart have been born two daughters: Amanda and Irene. The Doctor is a member of the Episcopal church, and his wife is connected with the Baptist church. Our subject is strongly opposed to the lottery company, and is president of the league for the Seventh and Eighth wards. He affiliates with the democratic party. Most of his time is devoted to the practice of his profession and he is regarded as one of the leading physicians of his vicinity. He is the medical examiner for the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance company, of California. Socially, he is a member of the Masonic lodge. [Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Louisiana; Chicago; The Goodspeed Publishing Company, 1892; transcribed by Kim Mohler] Of William's two children, Amanda died in childhood and Irene never married nor had children. Thus, this line became extinct. -------------- Obituary From the Clarion-Ledger, Jackson, Miss., June 16, 1923, p. 6: The funeral of Dr. William Stewart, who died in El Paso, Texas, Wednesday night, will be held here this afternoon upon the arrival of the body on the 2:15 A. & V. eastbound train at the station.

| 6956 | The following comes from the Dunnville Heritage Society, c/o John Stringer (descendant of Rachael Lutes). It was written by Sophia Augusta "Gussie" Stringer (1862-1951) descendant of Rachael Lutes. "Great grandmother Lutes was born in Holland, on the low lands and great grandfather lived in Germany, or as it was called, the high lands. The crops there failed and great grandfather went down to the low lands to work in the harvest and got acquainted with great grandmother. She taught him low Dutch, as they called it and she learned high Dutch and they married. There were twelve children in that family. I remember, Aunt Polly Rock, Aunt Peggy McCarthy, Aunt Lizzie Derrick, Aunt Jane House (who lived on Lake Erie, in a stone house). Uncle William Lutes lived in Waterloo, Uncle George Lutes lived in Moote Settlement in the little house on the nine acres on the corner, across the side road from your father's (John Lewis Ricker's) place. The side road went west to where Pa Stringer lived. Uncle Jake Lutes lived at Lundy's Lane and one nephew and two nieces at Boston. He was Dr. Walter Lutes. We visited them at their home." Early Niagara census records show a Samuel or Samson Lutz as head of one of the first 12 European households in Niagara in 1783. As George would have been only 19 at the time, it is presumed that Samuel is his father. Did Samuel immigrate first, followed later by George? Or did George marry very young and then immigrate in 1783, but not have any children until until 7 years later? Or did their earlier children die unrecorded? The answers to these questions are as yet unknown. | Lutz, George (I8784)

| 6958 | The following is c/o Joseph Cooke (http://www.babycookmakes3.com/family/mcnaughton1806.html ) Her Obituary was as follows: "Infinite trust, unyielding fidelity, and absolute devotion to duty amid all the vicissitudes of life, were the marked characteristics of Margaet McNaughton, who for more than fifty-eight years was the loyal and devoted wife od Daniel McMillan. Her ancestors were reared amid the influences which attended the teaching of John Knox after he returned from the feet of Calvin. They were of the race that gave a lasting impress to Scotland; men of strong character and sever principles; men who fought and suffered until religious freedom was won and established in the Chuch of Scotland. These characteristics of courage and intellectual strength, of indomitable will and honesty of purpose, which moulded and glorified the past and remain the blessing of the present, were the birthright of Margaret McNaughton. At an early age, she became the favorite child of an heirless uncle and aunt, by whom she was reared and educated with all the rigor and discipline of the exact methods and religious teaching that obtained in the household of Deacon John McVean, of Caledonia, a man of marked ability, serious though, and quiet manner. This influence maintained its sway, and in a great measure characterized and moulded her life. She was quiet, reserved, sincere; possessed of a heart full of tenderness and sympathy, yet without demonstration she wielded an influence for good by wise counsel and unselfish ministration. She was a woman of pre-eminant intuition and of unyielding fidelity to her church, her family and her friends. Unselfishness, faithfullness, and fortitude were the dominant qualities of her nature. She was indeed the ideal wife and mother; always firm, ever consistant; actuated by exalted ideals and stimulated by reasonable ambition. Her joy was in the courts of the Lord's house, and it was ever her pleasure to welcome to her hearth and home those engaged in the Master's work. Her father, Malcolm McNaughton, came from Glenlyon, Scotland, in 1795, and settled at Broadalbin, in the Mohwak valley, where Margaret was born March 6, 1806. In 1812, the family joined the Scottish pioneers and took a new home in the far famed valley of the Genesee. Some years later, the family, with the exception of Margaret and two married sisters, again changed their residence and settled at Milton, in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Here they took much interest in public affairs; three of her brothers occupied seats in the Canadian Parlament, and a fourth, active in the organization of Wisconsin as a State, was a member of its legislative body. Margaret was married January 24, 1828 to Daniel McMillan. They took up their home in York, n the western slope of the beautiful Genesee. There for fifty-eight years they exemplified in their family life the sturdy Covenanter home; he was the "master of the house" and she the loving, loyal, helpmate, twice each day the household gathered at the family altar; a psalm was sung, a chapter of the Bible read and a prayer offered, at which every servant and member of the household was present. On March 30, 1886, her life work ended; her illness was brief; the blessing of freedom without suffering was accorded her, and after four days she closed her mortal eyes in sleep. The beauty of her life remains to her children and grandchildren for generaions to come; it is theirs to hang upon the walls of memory forever, a well-spring of love and unselfishness, "pure as the dew of morning, and sweet as its breath;" and as they rise up to call her blessed, they will seem to hear the words of Willis, like the angelic strains of he "choir invisible," bringing peace and solace as naught else can thie side of the "shores of light". -At the time of her death, the New York Senate passed a resoluation marking the sympathy of the Senate chamber to her son, Daniel H. McMillan, a serving State Senator, for the death of his mother. | McNaughton, Margaret (I10592)

| 6959 | The following is from the John Stewart Smith Blogspot: Son John Graham of Drunkie is well identified in records as well as an unnamed daughter (possibly named Isobel). It is very likely that Walter had more children but no records have been found. There is a contract of marriage document (RH8/697) that lists the names of Walter and a possible son-in-law named Patrick Graham in Ledarth. Although the bride’s name is not mentioned, she may have been Walter’s daughter Isobel? named after her aunt Isobel c1635 (See GRA1 Grahams of Drunkie) John was born in the early 1680’s to Walter Graham of Drunkie c1655. He was probably baptised at Aberfoyle, but no record has been found. John married his stepsister Jean Bontine b1683 around 1703. Jean was a stepsister, but not related by blood, being the daughter of his father’s second wife from her first marriage. (See Bontine family below). According to Family Search records their nine children were Janet Graham b1704, Katherine Graham b1705, Jean Graham 1706, Jenet Graham b1709, Margaret Graham 1711, Unnamed son (Capt Walter Graham) 1713, John Graham c1715, Unknown son c1717 and Patrick Graham 1719. His wife was born in 1783 and was probably a similar age to John. She was unlikely to have had more children after 1719 when she was in her late thirties. When his father died around 1710, John c1680 became Laird of Drunkie. The child named Jenat born in 1709, only had her father’s name on the baptism record. If this is so, the first-born daughter (Janet) must have died as a child. Letters were written by John Graham of Drunkie from 1713 to 1728 about attempts to arrest the famous outlaw Rob Roy aka Robert McGregor 1671-1734 (GD220/5/967). In 1719 Rob Roy stole John Graham of Drunkie’s cattle and for the next few years John had to fight off bands of thieves who raided his property (GD220/6/1790). According to the Chronology of the Garrison of Inversnaid 1703-1746, compiled by Alexander Robertson, “Following the Jacobite rebellion of 1715, Parliament passed an Act vesting in the king the real and personal estates of those attainted of high treason…. Notably Rob Roy’s land at Inversnaid. On 19th July, 1719 soldiers from Drymen occupied Corriearklet. On the 21st occupied mostly by the MacFarlanes and Macgregors. On 20th July 1719 reinforcements led by John Graham of Drunkie and (brother-in-law) Patrick Graham (of Downance) arrived (at Inversnaid). One of John Graham’s daughters later (1745) married into Rob Roy’s McGregor family. This may have been partly an attempt to form alliances and settle disputes between the two families. In 1734 John Graham the elder and his eldest son Walter Graham b1713 the younger submitted a detailed description of the boundaries of their property. By describing John “as the elder’, this document is evidence that he had a son named John c1715 who probably died in the 1730’s. John the elder later named another son (born 1748) from his second relationship/marriage after his first son (GD220/1/K/2/2/3) and himself. John’s eldest son, Walter Graham the younger was the grandson of Walter Graham the elder and later went into military service and became Captain Walter Graham (see below). John Graham’s c1680 first wife (Jean Bontine) probably died in the 1740’s and sometime after that he started a relationship with his servant Christina McCallum. Some documents suggest they married, but others throw doubt over that. In any case Christina seems to have given birth to three children; John Graham 1748, Unknown daughter c1751 and Janet Graham b1753 (See below). John Graham senior died around 1755 leaving his estate to eldest son Captain Walter Graham who became the next laird of Drunkie. --- The testament dative and Inventory (above) of the "goods, gear and others that belong to the deceased John Grahame of Drunkie within the parish of Port at the time of his decease which was in the month of January last (1755), given up by Dougal Graham in Downans for and in the name of Katherine Grahame his spouse and Alexander Buchanan in Garrchonie? for and in the name of Margaret Grahame his spouse, which Katherine and Margaret Grahame are discerned in only executors dative qua nearest in kin? (hard to read) to the said defunct their father by decreet .... the 6th February current (1755?)". Inventory (My comments in brackets) Assets sold by the executors at a public 'roup' (auction?) were listed as follows: Walter Stewart in Glenfinnglas a cow John McLaren in Drunkie a cow Malcolm McFarlane at Bridgend (Bridge) of Michael (5 miles away) a cow. (John Macfarlane in Bridge of Michael married Margaret Fergusson of Port in 1780) John McFarlane in Ballabeg 2 stirks? (Ballabeg was 3 miles SE of Drunkie near Ackrig. Were these Macfarlanes related to John Macfarlane of Ackrig c1742 who married Dougal Graham's daughter in 1768?) Christina McCallum in Cosh (Coish adjacent to Drunkie) a cow, some hay & a quoy (enclosed field. Christina was John's 2nd 'wife') Andrew Stewart in Gomerie? a Quoy (enclosed field) Henry Graham in Beleigh (Balleich) a horse (Possibly Dougal's brother-in-law) Duncan Graham in Dounan a saddle (Dougal's brother or father perhaps) Dougal Graham a looking glass (Dougal of Downance was John's son-in-law; a gift for his wife perhaps) Total value of inventory was £210, confirmed by Collin Lennox innkeeper in Bridgend of Dunblane. The testament states that daughters "Katherine and Margaret Graham were discerned (to be the) only executors dative qua nearest in kin". Other documents clearly show that brother Walter was not only still alive, but that he inherited the Drunkie estate from his father. Walter wrote his own will and died in 1758. I suspect that the testament above was saying that Katherine and Margaret were the only executors for the testament listing moveable assets and were next of kin. Brother Walter was also next of kin, but he was not an executor for the items listed in the testament. At the time of his death in 1755 all of John's siblings and six of his nine children from his first marriage were deceased. There were no known grandchildren from his deceased children. John’s will does not include his second 'wife' nor the three children from his second 'marriage', of whom at least two were still alive. It is worth noting that the testament was referring to moveable property. In its research guides NRS points out that the eldest son in a family was often not be mentioned, because he inherited the heritable property (land and buildings) of his deceased father. It seems that the provisions laid out in the will of John Graham of Drunkie c1680 were not fully settled until after 1780, because of questions around the status of the children from his second relationship.

| 6965 | The following notes come from Malcolm Sissons: "Gerald was born in a house on Donald St. where the Hudson Bay Co. parkade is located in downtown Winnipeg. After his father died prematurely when he was twelve, his mother took him to her family in Guelph and while living there, Gerald formed a close relationship with his cousins. He and his mother visited Scotland at this time, meeting Lord Frederic Hamilton during the voyage. "Gerald and his mother returned to Winnipeg in 1908 and lived in an apartment near the Winnipeg Winter Club, while Gerald began his study of law at the University of Winnipeg and graduated with his B.A. in 1911, and was called to the bar just before he left for the war. "Gerald had joined the 79th Cameron Highlanders of Canada. However, he was "taken on strength" with 19 other officers from the Camerons in March, 1915, as a lieutenant in the 52nd "New Ontario" Battalion, raised in Port Arthur, Ontario. They landed in England in late 1915. While in camp south of London, Gerald's friend Lord Frederic Hamilton arranged for Gerald to meet Arthur Conan Doyle who lived near by. Later, in 1916 while on leave, Gerald went to tea with the Bowes-Lyon family, including 16-year-old Elizabeth, who later became the Queen (now Queen mother). He spent most of the war in the trenches, starting as lieutenant and listed as a machine gun officer in November 1915. He was promoted to captain on 17 October 1917 and to adjutant to Colonel Foster on 26 December 1917. His unit fought in the battles of Ypres, Mount Sorrel, the Somme, Vimy Ridge, Hill 70, Passchendaele, Amiens, Hindenburg line, Cambrai and Valenciennes. Gerald was wounded in one of the actions when he and his comrades were exposed to a German machine gun when the fog lifted. He was wounded in the stomach although his belt buckle took most of the damage. He served until December 1918 and was "evacuated" 10 February 1919 (i.e. he left the unit). He was awarded the Military Cross by King George V in 1919. Gerald continued his contact with Col. Foster who visited the Rutherford family in Winnipeg. "'Hope', as Gerald called her, took a boat to England at the end of the war where they were married in 1918 in London, at St. Margaret's church (since destroyed). Greta (Jackson) and her husband, Dr. Charles Bunn, attended the couple during the ceremony. Upon their return to Winnipeg, Gerald did law work with the soldier settlement board helping returned soldiers get on to farms and then started with the law firm of Aikens Loftus & Co. During the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919, at the request of the authorities, Gerald helped out on the rifle range, teaching some of the older men how to shoot. "Gerald and Hope lived in an apartment at the corner of Osborne and Roslyn Road where Margaret Hope ("Babs") was born on 15 October 1919. The young couple built a house at 200 Cambridge St. in 1923 where Nancy-Ruth ("Nance") was born on 10 November 1924. During these years, Nellie, the maid, also lived with the family. Gerald was a strict disciplinarian, a view not generally shared by his wife. He enjoyed sports such as swimming and squash. "In 1926, Gerald established his own law practice in the Somerset block and a few months later joined forces with Alfred Rosevear who was practising law in the same building. They took on a couple more partners, Mssrs. MacIntosh and Johnson, but had to dissolve the firm in about 1930 when they could not get enough clients. During the depression, Gerald went to work for the Debt Adjustment Board which involved farms which were bankrupt and trying to work out ways to keep the family on the farm. A year after he started, Gerald became Chairman, a job which he kept until 1940 when he went to Ottawa where he worked as counsel to the Controllers for the Department of Munitions and Supplies. He returned to Winnipeg in 1941 to take up work as legislative counsel to the Manitoba government. He continued his association with the Cameron Highlanders through the years. "The family spent most summers from 1932 on at the cottage they built on Clearwater Bay, Lake of the Woods, Ontario, where they were neighbours of the Fred Jacksons. Hope was stricken while at camp and later died, leaving Gerald with a 16 year old Nancy-Ruth at home. Gerald continued his career as Legislative Counsel, and revising the statutes of Manitoba, earning him the sobriquet of "Mr. Manitoba" among his colleagues of the Uniform Law Conference. He was also named Queen's Counsel. During this period, he also served as a major in the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders militia regiment. Gerald reached mandatory retirement age (of 65) in 1955 but carried on in this capacity as a "temporary" employee until 1968, and as Revising Officer until 1972 finally quitting at the age of 82. "After seventeen years as a widower, Gerald remarried to Amy de Jardin in 1959, and acquired a new step family. After retirement, Gerald did some contract work for the Government of British Columbia, revising statutes. Gerald and Amy also made a number of trips to Hawaii, where Amy passed away in February 1980. Gerald continued to live by himself, celebrating his 90th birthday in style at the Fort Garry Hotel, before finally passing away at the age of 96 on 15 July 1987. Gerald is buried in St. John's cemetary in Winnipeg, a city which he always considered to be the finest in the land." (source: descendant Malcolm Sissons) | Rutherford, Capt.

| 6970 | The Glasingall trial notes indicate that Alexander was a merchant in Liverpool. In 1851, Alexander was residing in Mount Pleasant, Liverpool, Lancashire, England, born 1808, employed as a Commission Merchant, residing in the home of Matthew Gibson, coal merchant. In 1861, Alexander is found residing in Mount Pleasant, Liverpool, Lancashire, England, age 51, born in Lendrick, Perthshire, Scotland, employed as a merchant, residing with his wife Eliza Bell Stewart, born 1821 in Moore, Shropshire, England. They had no children. In 1871, Alexander was residing in Inverlochlarig with his brother, John. This farm was also the residence of his sister and brother-in-law, Margaret Stewart and Alexander McNaughton. He may have just been visiting as his wife was back in England where she reported herself as married and not widowed. The Ardvorlich History indicates that Alexander moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina.

| 6981 | The Kells had no known children. At his marriage in 1905 in London, Ontario, he was employed as a finisher and shown as born in Ireland in 1880 as the son of James Kells and Margaret Carter. At his death in 1934 in Whitby, Ontario, he was recorded as 54 years old, born in Ireland, husband of Mrs R Kells, son of William Kells and Margaret Carter, employed as a hospital attendant and residing at the Ontario Hospital in Whitby, Ontario. As he would have been his own informant at his marriage, and his wife was the informant at his death, the name of James Kells for his father is preferred as more likely to be correct. Robert has not been found in any census record. His wife is found in 1911 residing with her parents in Hamilton, shown as Minnie Kells, but Robert is not with her. It appears possible that they may never have actually lived together. | Kells, Robert (I8381)

| 6986 | The Late Duncan Stuart, Mosa, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada Mr. Duncan Stuart passed peacefully away on Tuesday morning of last week, after an illness of a few weeks with heart and kidney trouble. He was one of the old pioneers of the township of Mosa, and was widely known, being possessed of a good will toward all men. Mr. Stuart was born in Perthshire, Scotland, October 1st, 1826, and came to Canada with his parents when six months old, when they settled in Lower Canada, after which they moved by wagon to Appin, Ont., thence to the Longwoods Road south of Strathburn, in the township of Mosa, where he resided most of the remainder of his life, coming to Glencoe a few months ago. Mr. Stuart leaves to mourn his loss a widow and eight of a family-Mrs. Robert Dobson, Mrs. Isaac Simpson and Mrs. John Gould, of Mosa township; Mrs. M. Smith, of Evanston, Ill; Mrs. Nuby, at home'; Angus, of Minneapolis; Alex of Milestone, Sask., and D. M., councillor, of Mosa. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. Alex. Graham, of Lobo township. The funeral was on Thursday afternoon and was very largely attended, interment being made at Oakland cemetery. Rev. Geo. Weir conducted the service at his late residence, Glencoe. The bearers were Messrs. John Thompson, Thos. Simpson, Duncan McCallum, Malcolm McAlpine, John McLean and John B. Jones. | Stewart, Duncan (I15223)
|
| 6987 | The late Watson Buchanan (author of "History of Clan Buchanan and Its Septs: A Millenial Update" and a fluent Gaelic speaker), following William Buchanan of Auchmar (1723), cites Anselan as the progenitor of the Scottish family of Buchanan. They suggest that Anselan's surname was Buidh O'Kyan (O'Cathan), meaning "the yellow-haired O'Kyan". The Buchanan surname would be somewhat of an elision of Buidhe O'Cathainan, meaning "one of the yellow O'Cathans", from "buidhe" = "yellow", plus the family name O'Cathan, with the suffix "an" meaning "one of". The name would have been pronounced something like "bwee-oh-cay-an-an", and in that form it is easy to see how it would morph into Buchanan. Watson Buchanan goes on to note that Anselan is definitely not a Gaelic name. It is derived from the name Anselm (a Norman name meaning "divinely protected" or, literally, "helmet of God"). The name became popular after St. Anselm became Archbishop of Canterbury in 1093, making it anachronistically difficult to explain in the late 10th century in Ulster, Ireland prior to William The Conqueror's invasion of England in 1066. Buchanan goes on to argue, somewhat convincingly, that the name was probably a later corruption of "Absalon", a popular Scandinavian (i.e. Danish Viking) name meaning "father of peace". This name, along with the nickname Buidhe, indicating yellow hair, would be a strong indicator of a Danish Viking ancestry. However, Irish O'Cathan genealogies provide a full Irish Gaelic ancestry (shown here) going back to a sept of the O'Neils. Thus it would seem likely that an earlier O'Cathan may have married a Viking princess introducing both the Viking name and yellow hair into the family. Buchanan of Auchmar suggests that Anselan was obliged to flee Ireland in 1016 after a failed uprising against a Danish Viking overlord. Earlier O'Neill histories indicate that the family had strong aliances with the Argyll area of Scotland as founders of the Gaelic Kingdom of Dal Riada which eventually gained supremecy over the Picts as rulers of Scotland. Later O'Cathan histories indicate this allegiance was maintained with aliances between the O'Cathans and the Scottish Lords of the Isles. The most noteworthy of these being a female descendant of Anselan's brother, Conn, who married Alasdair MacDonald, Lord of the Isles. Thus, if Anselan did have to flee Ireland for any reason, it would be natural that he would find welcome refuge in southwest Scotland. Watson Buchanan goes on to show that Absalon would have been Galicized as a surname in the form of "mac Abhsaloin" which would give rise to the Anglicized surname MacAuslin (and its numerous variant spellings), a known sept of Buchanan. | O'Cathain, Anselan Buidhe 1st of Buchanan (I11705)

| 6988 | The Lednascriddan tree indicates that David Stewart had two daughters, one of whom was named Catherine and the other is not named. Scottish naming custom would suggest the other daughter's name was likely Lillias after her maternal grandmother. | Stewart, Lillias Pollock (I26494)

| 6989 | The line of the Stewarts in Windy Edge likely descends from the Stewarts of Annat either through the Stewarts of Drumvaich or the Stewarts in Lendrick and Ballacaish. Their exact lineage has not been determined. | Stewart, _____ (I31310)
|
| 6990 | The major branches or "tacks" of Appin stem from the sons of Alan Stewart, 3rd of Appin. Originally they comprised John, 1st of Strathgarry, Dugald, 1st of Achnacone, James, 1st of Fasnacloich and Alexander, 1st of Invernahyle. Ardsheal, the branch our Chief hails from, was given to John, 1st of Ardsheal by his father, John Stewart, 5th of Appin. (Electric Scotland) Allan Stewart, 3rd of Appin, divided his lands between his five sons: Duncan, 4th of Appin, John of Strathgarry, Dugald of Achnacone, JAmes of Fasnaloich, and Alexander of Invernahyle and thus established the branch clan. (Appin website) Gordon MacGregor (The Red Book of Scotland) corrects the traditional accounting and shows John Stewart, so of Allan Stewart, 3rd of Appin, as illegitimate. He shows Strathgarry descending from Robert Stewart, 1st of Strathgarry, son of Dugald MacRobert Stewart, son of Robert Stewart, younger brother of Allan Stewart, 3rd of Appin. Allan Stewart's date of birth is unknown. He was alive and of adult age by 1515. He died between 1563-1565. | Stewart, Allan 3rd of Appin (I14744)

|
| 6992 | The marriage and children for George are not confirmed but are based on strong circumstantial evidence. There is only one known Doughnee/Downy family in Monck during this era. The birth of George Doughnee in 1870 as recorded in the 1881 census corresponds with the birth of George Downy 3 OCT 1869 in the 1901 census. There are no other matches even remotely close. Therefore it is presumed that they are the same person. William Downy, born 2 APR 1884, is shown as a border with this family in 1901. He is presumed to be a cousin from an unknown branch. | Doughnee, George A. (I5076)

|
| 6995 | The marriage of Duncan Stewart to a daughter of MacLaren of Auchleskin, chief of that name, forged a link with the old ruling house of Balquhidder, namely the MacLaren family. The new marriage alliance established itself in several holdings in the district. In King Robert II of Scotland, they shared a common ancestor. Duncan Stewart (1739) says: "Duncan, brother to Patrick Stewart in Glenbucky, married ___ Maclaren. By whom he had Alexander...." Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says only that " Duncan Stewart succeeded his brother and was father of Alexander Stewart." We know nothing more about this Duncan Stewart. | Stewart, Duncan 3rd of Glenbuckie (I15550)
|
| 6996 | The marriages and children shown here are currently under review. Allan Stewart is said to have married a daughter of Dr. Robert Stewart in Annat -- there are two such possible matching daughters. If Allan has been correctly accounted for then he must have been a natural son or he would have been elligible to inherit Innischaoraich on the death of his brother. Allan Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as: "There was another branch of Sliochd Invernahavil (another name for the clan of "Donald of the Hammer") commonly called Sliochd Dhuail Mhic Callin ("Children of Donald son of Allan") of the very branch that Bohalie in Athol was [from, namely] Sliochd Dhuail Mhic Callin mhic Donal na nord ("Children of Dugal, son of Allan, son of Donald of the Hammer" which also reveals that the common ancestor, Allan, was a son of Donald). They came first from Appin to the Braes of Rannoch [and] from that to Glenlochay [and] from thence to Glendochard of whom Allan Stewart, cousin to Bohalie, came to be Grand Officer to the Earl of Murray at the Bridge end of Devon to whom he was a great favourite. Allan Stewart had two sons. [Allan] was married to a daughter of one Doctor [Robert] Stewart of the house of Annat. He had only one son by the wife and [also] a natural son."
