| 7001 | The mother of Duncan Stewart in Newlands is unknown. His marriage record records his father's name as Alexander. A potential matching death record for the only Duncan Stewart who died in Campsie between 1881-1891 has a mother's maiden name of Kinross. The only other death recorded for a Stewart with a mother's maiden name of Kinross is Helen Stewart, died 1862 in Dunblane, age 80. It may be that her maiden name was Kinross. Duncan's second daughter's name is Helen, which could mean that his mother's name was Helen. No matching marriage has been found. However several births are found for Helen Kinross in Dunblane parish. The surname Kinross appears to be local to Dunblane. | Kinross?, Helen (I29160)
|
| 7002 | The name "Yaldon" is uncertain. The handwriting in the marriage register was difficult to read. | Yaldon, Agnes (I19829)
|
| 7003 | The name Eli may be an abbreviated nickname for Cornelius. Eli may have been previously married. Haldimand County Marriages: Furler, Eli, 22, Canboro, Grimsby, s/o Cornelius and Mary Ann, married 25 DEC 1863 to Maryann McPherson, 20, Canboro, Gainsborough, d/o Hiram and Catharine. Death record gives age at death as 74 years, 3 months, 15 days, and records his parents names as Cornelius Furler and Mary Ann Gallop. In 1871 Eli is found living in Canborough, Haldimand, Ontario about 10 farms away from William Henry Furlow/Furler, further strengthening the suggestion that they are brothers. | Furler, Eli S. (I6490)
|
| 7004 | The name Kinloch/Kenloch does not appear anywhere else in the Monzievaird parish register in the 18th century (19th century records have not been checked). The only baptism record for any name even close to Kinloch/Kenloch between 1700-1799 in Monzievaird is James Keynoch having a son John in 1733. No marriage exists for this surname. This means that Helen either came from outside Monzievaird or Kinloch/Kenloch is a nickname. Where we would expect to find a marriage for John Stewart and Helen Kinloch, we instead find the following marriage for STEWART, JOHN and HELEN CAMPBELL married 06/08/1727. John Stewart and Helen Campbell have only one recorded child, Agnes Stewart born 30 Apr 1732. Meanwhile, John Stewart and Helen Kenloch have children born 1730 and 1734 with a gap in 1732 where we would expect them to have a child. Thus, it is suggested that Helen Kinloch/Kenloch and Helen Campbell are the same person and the Kinloch/Kenloch (or Cean Loch = "head of the loch") is an alias name for Helen's Campbell family. Which (and I'm just speculating now) may be a reference to Lochearnhead. --- Variants like McKinloch have also been searched for. Crieff has also been searched. Comrie: CANNOCH, CHRISTIAN, dtr of DUNCAN CANNOCH/MARY KING, 01/06/1740 CANNOCH, MALCOM, son of JOHN CANNOCH/MARGARET MCKROSTIE, 24/03/1740 plus a half dozen Keynoch | Kinloch-alias-Campbell, Helen (I31883)
|
| 7005 | The name of John Gow's first wife is not known. No birth records for his other children have been found, however census records confirm their relationships. The only son for whom we have a confirmed birth record is James. However James had already left home prior to 1841 thus we lack census confirmation that James is a son of the same John as his half-siblings shown here. However, census records show son James' place of birth as being Kirkintilloch, Dumbartonshire where this John and his confirmed descendants resided and where they were the only Gow family to reside there. Further support can be found occupationally, in that all of John Gould Gow's sons were employed as Cotton Handloom Weavers. Thus I have great confidence in the arrangement shown here, but it is not proven. James is the only son listed in the IGI for John Gow and Jean Buchanan and their marriage is shown as 1824, thus making Jean a second wife to John Gould Gow. In 1851 John had his 9 year old grandson, John Lang, residing with him. John Lang's parents have note been identified. Note: Ancestry.com has mistranscribed the family as "Gaw" in 1861 and "Fow" in 1871. | Gow, John Gould (I6988)
|
| 7006 | The name of the father of James and Alexander Fisher is unknown. As both of his known sons had eldest sons named John, it is suggest that the father's name is John. According to family records, the sons were born in Wester Shian, Glen Quaich, Kenmore, Perthshire, Scotland. Given that Glen Quaich was a predominantly Gaelic-speaking area, it is likely that the family surname is an Anglicization of the surname, Mac an Iascair, (MacInesker) which means "son of the fisherman." In 1833 there was a massive migration of people from Glen Quaich to North Easthope in Perth County, Ontario, Canada. All but one branch of this Fisher family migrated to Canada. According to family records, James Fisher moved to Balliemore in Glen Buckie in Balquhidder parish as a young man, where he became a shepherd to the Stewart family who "had been tenants there for four generations" and married one of their daughters. Balquhidder parish records show several other contemporary Fisher families through the 18th century, so it is likely that James already had family connections in the area. James Fisher's son, John Fisher, is the only known member of this family to have remained in Scotland. The rest of the known descendants of ____ Fisher emigrated to Canada. ------------ The most likely birth record for his son James is: FISHER, JAMES, son of JOHN FISHER/ (no mother), M, 10/08/1780, Dunkeld. | Fisher, John (I25592)
|
| 7007 | The name of this son is illegible in the Comrie parish register. | Stewart, Illegible (I16069)
|
| 7008 | The name, James Roberts, is too common to confidently identify his birth family. James and Sarah had four children, only two of whom lived until adulthood. Life must have been difficult for this family as James was living in a workhouse in Lancaster, Lancashire, England when he died in 1846. | Roberts, James (I19953)
|
| 7009 | The names of these sons are unknown, however based on the names of the children of their brother, Alexander Stewart, likely candidates for possible names for these brothers would include: Charles, John, Robert, and William. | Stewart, Son (I17669)

|
| 7014 | The only Archibald Carmichael in the Comrie OPR about the right age is CARMICHAEL, ARCHIBALD, son of FINLAY CARMICHAEL/CATHRINE MCLAREN, 04/01/1804 in Comrie. Archibald Carmichael did not emigrate with his brother John, but remained in Wester Glentarken, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. On 1 Jun 1831, Archibald Carmichael wrote to his brother John Carmichael in London, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada in which he refers to their mutual siblings, Peter and Margaret. He sends the letter in the care of Malcolm McLaren who immigrated about that time and whose daughters married John Carmichael's sons, Alexander and John. | Carmichael, Archibald in Wester Glentarken (I24923)
|
| 7015 | The only birth in Callander parish for a Catharine, dtr of Alexander within 10 years of 1753 is Catharine Stewart b/b 16/17 DEC 1762 in Kirkton of Callander, dtr of Alexander Stewart and Christian McKillop. Or the only birth for a Catharine dtr of Walter is: Catharine STEWART, b/b 17/21 APR 1758 in Callander, dtr of Walter Stewart 10th of Gartnufuaran and Janet Stewart in Duart (Malcolm gives 1750 incorrectly). | Stewart, Catherine (I15089)
|
| 7016 | The only birth in range is Margaret Aitken b/b 17/18 MAY 1773 in Callander, dtr of William Aitken and Catharine Buchanan. | Aitkin, Margaret Mary (I147)
|
| 7017 | The only evidence for William's existence is Ruth Brown's will where she refers to her sons, John and William James, residing "in America" at the time of her death. In UK culture, the term "America" was used as a generic to refer to the continent, not specifically the USA. Ruth's son John is also named as residing "in America" yet he resided in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. So she is using the term to refer to North America, not the USA. In the absence of any other evidence for William's existence, and given that Robert and Ruth had a daughter Rachel Brown, who married a William Brown, it seems more likely that Ruth used the term "son" generally to refer to her son and her son-in-law. | Brown, William? (I20253)
|
| 7018 | The only matching birth found for Janet Reid in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland is REID, JANET, daughter of JOHN REID/MARGARET CARMICHAEL, b. 01/01/1769. | Reid, Janet (I13121)
|
| 7019 | The only record of Henry is his baptism. He is not found in any later records and is presumed to have died in infancy. Registro Battesimi XIIIa This register covers the period from 3 January 1752 to 25 March 1776. Page 175 shows the baptismal act for the eldest son of John Steuart, which is hereunder transcribed in full.

|
| 7020 | The only record of James Stewart's existence comes from The Lednascridan Family Tree by Gordon Stewart and is also supported by onomastic evidence. ---------- The Lednascridan Family Tree Gordon Stewart (1905-2009), descendant of 5-Line, authored the accompanying family tree which gives the following information: "...our ancestors can be traced back to approximately 1530 when James Stewart, the Royal Bailie of Balquhidder granted a lease on farmland to his natural son, Patrick Stewart. The lease remained in the family until 1816 when it expired.... Our line comes from a younger son who left the farm in the 1700s." There is a gap in the records and the accounting continues with: "James Stewart - 1680 son: Robert Stewart, m Christian Stewart - 1728 son: Duncan Stewart, m Katherine McLaren - 1765 son: Duncan Stewart, m Jean Dunlop - 1806. 15 year old Duncan and his brother John were apprenticing as weavers in Renfrew in 1795." The author attaches the date "1680" to James Stewart without indication as to what it refers -- most likely birth or marriage. Since the dates of 1728, 1765, and 1806 given for the later descendants all represent marriages, then it's reasonable to suggest that it represents James' marriage, however, that seems chronologically challenging. It seems more likely to be an estimated birth date. | Stewart, James in Lednascriddan (5 Line) (I15959)
|
| 7021 | The only reference to this Alexander comes from Patrick Stewart of Ledcriech's 1763 genealogy, in a reference to the marriage of Alexander's daughter, Catherine, wife of Alexander Stewart, 4th of Ledcreich, where she is recorded as "Catherine Stewart, daughter of Alexander, "brother of Robert Stewart of Glenagle, predecessor to John Stewart of Hyndfield, or Stronvar." (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, December 1956, vol. 34, no. 6, pp.177-179) | Stewart, Alexander Younger of Glenogle (I14770)
|
| 7022 | The origin of the Stewarts in Windy Edge has not been identified, likely because they appear to have died out in the male line prior to Stewarts of the South. Circumstantial evidence suggests they likely descend from from an unidentified early cadet branch of the Stewarts of Annat, likely either Ballachaish or Drumvaich. | Stewart, _____ in Windy Edge (I31298)
|
| 7023 | The parentage of Somerled "Lord of the Isles" is highly disputed. The parents shown here are not certain but seem to be the most commonly asserted. | Gillebridesson, Somerled Lord of the Isles (I6855)
|
| 7024 | The parish register entry for Helen's baptism has been viewed and is heavily faded and mostly illegible. The location of her father's residence is very difficult to read but sufficiently resembles her sister Margaret's birth location of Gartfarran as to likely be the same. The names of the witnesses on her baptism are illegible. | Buchanan, Helen (I30983)
|
| 7025 | The Records of Clan Ferguson has an extensive biography of Rev. Finlay Ferguson. Stewarts of the South says this about the Ferguson family in Stronvar: "Those Fergussons came of a low degree. The Revd Mr Finlay Fergusson's father was a Smith in Laggamaolin in Athol, but they were worthy and respectable people in this part of the world. Grandfather to Middlehaugh, who was married to Mr Dun MacDiarmid in Conichan's daughter was brother to Mr Finlay Fergusson. Before him, Middlehaugh was possessed by a Branch of the Stewart of Urachill Beg in Athol. Stronvar was possessed by one Stewart Hyndfield of Gartnafuaran family Balquhidder." ---- From the Records of the Clan and Name of Fergusson/Ferguson and Fergus, edited by James Ferguson and Robert Menzies Fergusson (Edinburgh, 1899) FERGUSSONS IN BALQUHIDDER ALMOST all the families of the name now living in West Perthshire, with many in Glasgow and other parts of the country, originally sprang from the Balquhidder stock. As we have seen in the volume of Records 1 already published, a few Fergussons from Athole became connected with their clansmen in Balquhidder, notably the Rev. Finlay Fergusson, A.M., a native of Athole, who became minister of the parish on the 16th September 1724. His eldest son, John, born 2nd April 1738, bought from the daughters of the Hon. John Hamilton the lands of Drem, in East Lothian, on 11th February 1772.1 The next son, Robert, became proprietor of Stronvar, 2 and one of the daughters of the minister married Mr. M'Vean, receiving from her father as her portion the small estate of Ledcreich, on the north side of Loch Voil, opposite Murlaggan. The Rev. Finlay Fergusson bought this property for the sum of £18, and it was sold some years ago, by the descendant of the family, to the late Mr. Carnegie of Stronvar for a sum exceeding £6000. The M'Veans were closely related to the Fergussons of Carnlia and Murlaggan. Another old family in the parish is that of Auchleskine, whose present representatives are Mr. Patrick Fergusson and Mr. Duncan Fergusson. Their family has occupied Auchleskine for many generations. An examination of the names in the parish register of Balquhidder shows how numerous the Fergussons were during the eighteenth century, and they are well represented still. The families of Stronyre, Bailefoil, Laggan, and Stronslaney, all related to one another, are among those whose ancestors have long had an intimate connection with the parish. Intermarriages were common with the MacLarens, the M'lntyres, Buchanans, Stewarts, and MacGregors. | Ferguson, Rev. Finlay Minister of Balquhidder (I25319)

| 7026 | The relationship between Alexander and his son, Philip is uncertain. | de Seton, Alexander (I4390)
|
| 7027 | The relationship between Gilbert and his indicated son, John, is quite uncertain. They may have been father/son, brothers, or cousins. This line does not become certain until the much later Sir John Home. | Home, Gilbert of (I7742)
|
| 7028 | The relationship between Morgund and Rothri is not certain. Some sources show them as father and son, but it seems certain that Morgund was the son of Gillocher, and probably inherited Mar through marriage to a daughter of Rothri. | MacGylocher, Morgund (I8896)
|
| 7029 | The relationship of Saier to his father, presented here, is according to Stirnet.com, referencing SetonFamily.com. | de Lens, Saier (I4311)
|
| 7030 | The relationship of this daughter to David, Earl of Huntingdon, is not verified. In fact it is chronologically impossible. Stirnet.com presents it as unverified and as I am following that source I will leave it as is for the present. However if Galfridus De Crawford was married to a Huntingdon then it was likely an earlier Huntingdon than David's daughter. | Huntingdon, Daughter of (I7992)

| 7031 | The relationships and dates shown here are approximations based on data from Stirnet.com. Clearly there is a generation missing here. | O'Duibne, Sir Gillespic Archibald (I11619)
|
| 7032 | The relationships shown for this family are purely speculative for the first five generations. These relationships are based solely on matching names from data in the parish records of Corsley, Wiltshire, England where the surname Prangley is known to originate. Reliable data does not begin until John Prangley, born 1755 in Corlsey. | Prangley, George (I12478)

| 7033 | The Scotsman - Monday 29 January 1917 Stewart - At Laggan, Strathyre, on the 25th January. Helen McKay, widow of John Stewart, farmer. Funeral to Dundurn Chapel, St. Fillans, on Monday, leaving at 9:30 arriving Strathyre 10:30 and St. Fillans after 1. Friends please accept this intimation and invitation. She was residing with James Stewart in Laggan who was described as her "next of kin." Obituary: STRATHYRE - 1917 - THE LATE MRS. STEWART LAGGAN - There passed away peacefully at Laggan, Strathyre, on 25th Jan., Mrs. Helen Stewart, widow of Mr. John Stewart, farmer, Laggan. She had been ailing for some time, but was thought to be improving, when she had a relapse, and passed away at the age of 59. Mrs Stewart was a lady of most estimable character - kind to the poor, and respected by all classess. She was a native of Inverness-shire and is survived by a family of three sons and two daughters. The eldest son is Mr. John Stewart, (my father) solicitor, Dunblane, who is Clerk to the District Committee of the Western Division of the County Council, and who holds a number of other public offices. The funeral, which was largely attended took place on Monday to the family burying-ground at Dundurn Chapel, St Fillans, where as a scion of the Stewart of Ardvorlich, they have the right to bury inside the chapel. As the place, however, is rather overcrowded, Mrs. Stewart’s remains were interred immediately outside the chapel. The funeral service at the house was conducted by the Rev. David Cameron, B.D., and at the grave by the Rev. Mr. Scott, Dundurn, and the Rev. Mr. Cameron, Balquidder. | McKay, Helen (I9712)
|
| 7034 | The Scottish Journal indicates that Duncan married a daughter of Invernahyle. The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol. 3 says that Duncan was the son of Alan Stewart of Innischaoraich who was the son of James Stewart of Innischaoraich. This conflicts with both the patronymic in Stewarts of the South and the Invernahyle genealogy found in The Scottish Journal which both show that Alan was the son of Dugald Stewart 1st of Innischaoraich and the father of James Stewart 3rd of Innischaoraich. It would appear likely that the The Stewarts of Ardvorlich has confused Alan's father with his son. This Duncan may be identical to Duncan MacAllain Stewart in Duart, shown elsewhere in this database. "Duncan Stewart, is said to have been an innkeeper at Tighnaluib, in Glen Dochart, and to have married Margaret, daughter of Alexander Stewart, 6th of Invernahyle. He is also said to have had issue by her, however, his uncle, Neil Stewart of Auchmor, becoming heir to Duncan’s elder brother, James Stewart of Incherich, it follows that any issue of Duncan’s body cannot have been lawful otherwise they would have had prior right of succession."

| 7035 | The Scottish Journal says does not given Archibald's first name and says he was minister of Appin. However the Fasti Ecclesia gives his name as Archibald MacCalman, M.A. and says he was minister of Ardchattan in Lorn. As he was ordained in 1640 his birth is estimated as 1615. | MacCalman, Rev.

| 7038 | The sixth branch of the Glenogle Stewart is recorded in Stewarts of the South as follows: "John Stewart, [a] crofter [in] soldiers' land (uncertain reference) near Callendar, [on] Burrel Drummond's [estate]. [He] has two sons: one of them a wright near Callendar; another [who is] a waiter in Edinburgh." There is only one family of a John Stewart living in Callander village ca. 1815 and they match the description given above and cannot be matched anywhere else in Stewarts of the South. Thus we believe the following family to be the "Stewarts in Soldiers' Land." Which of the two sons was the wright and which was the waiter is not known. "Soldier's Land" was a small settlement just east of the original village of Callander but has now been enveloped by the growing town of Callander. There is a Duncan Stewart, born 11 May 1781 in Chrachavie, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland (at the west end of Loch Venachar) natural son of John Stewart in Chrachavie and Mary Ferguson. This would have to be a different couple with the same names as this couple were married at the time. ------ Possible first marriage: 5 Dec 1775 6 Dec 1775 Henny F John STEWART Catherine MCLERAN Kirktown 16 Jul 1778 19 Jul 1778 Margaret F John STEWART Catharine MCLAREN Callander | Stewart, John in Soldier's Land (I16845)

| 7039 | The small number of occurances of the surname Galloch makes it all but certain that all those of the surname Galloch from Upper Strathearn are from one family of origin. Parish records go no earlier than 1695 and are incomplete, at best, until many years later, so it may be impossible to ascertain the early roots of this family. This eponymous "Ancestor" is only as a place-holder and does not represent any real known individual. The "children" of this person shown here are not necessarily all brothers and sisters. They are more likely a mixture of siblings and first-cousins, but can be safely presumed to be of the same family. However their exact relationship to each other is unknown. Their birth-dates shown here (with the exception of Donald) are purely speculative guesses based solely on the ages of their children. The later descendants of this family, as shown here, are not fully verified. Some of the family relationships are certain, while others represent this author's best attempt to cobble together a coherent presentation of this family based on known information. Where I have made guesses as to familial relationships I have indicated so in the notes. At least one branch of this family were known as "Galloch alias Drummond" and it may be that Drummond is the authentic surname and Galloch is simply a nickname-cum-surname. The occurances of the surname Galloch in Upper Strathearn last for only three or four generations of descendants. The latest OPR record of a Galloch in Comrie, Monzievaird or Muthill is 1772. It's possible, but unlikely, that all the male lines either died out or emmigrated before 1800; whereas it seems more plausible that they may have reverted to the use of Drummond as a surname. The surname Galloch is very uncommon and may be a corruption of McCulloch, or Culagh ("wild boar") from which McCulloch originates, or Gaidhlig ("Gaelic"), Gaolach ("beloved"), or Gealaich ("to whiten" or "the moon"). The surname can also be found in Caithness and Angus. Galloch is also recorded as a sept of Sinclair and Gunn. And Galloch is also a known corruption of Gallagher, an Irish Catholic name. The form "Galloch" was often chosen to avoid discrimination when immigrating to Protestant areas. "Repeated evidence suggests that first inhabitant of Cowden Farm may be the illegitamate son of 3rd Earl of Perth James Drummond and mother unkown being a servant girl in the house of James father John Drummond 2nd Earl of Drummond. The son recieved the fram and land holdings from his father. He assumed the name galloch but in later generations . Descendents assumed the name of drummond."

| 7040 | The Statistics from the Annexed Estates for Western Strathearn (1755-56) lists the following persons residing in Easter Glentarken: Easter Glentarken - Duncan McNab, Donald King, John Ferguson, Patrick McLaren, John Carmichael, Patrick Drummond, and four cottars - twelve families. It is suggested that the Patrick McLaren cited above could be an excellent candidate for the father of Margaret McLaren.

Daniel b 1789 Elizabeth b1791 John b1793 Ludovik b 1797 William b 1797 Peter 1798 Janet b 1801 Some were born in Comrie." "Archibald was christened at Balquhidder on 24 November 1787. His parents Alexander McLaren and Janet McLaren married at Balquihidder 27 Jan 1787. Janet was born 2 Nov 1766 Glen Ogle. Her father was Donald McLaren (b abt 1727 Glenbeich) and her mother was Elizabeth McLaren. (b abt 1731 Glenbeich) They married about 1761 in Glenbeich. Donald's father was Patrick McLaren and his mother was Margaret Stewart, both from Glenbeich. Glenbeich is a glen in the west of Comrie parish." | McLaren, Patrick? in Easter Glentarken (I21583)

| 7041 | The Stewarts in Ardcheanchdan (III-Branch of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie) are identified in Stewarts of the South by the patronymic Sliochd Sheumais mhic Alistir mhic Dhunachy ("The Seed of James, son of Alexander, son of Duncan.") However, the accounting of the family in Stewarts of the South contains contradictions. Our best attempt to resolve the contradictions identifies this James as the patriarch after whom the patronymic is based. Lines 1-5 are believed to descend from this James Stewart. According to Stewarts of the South, 1-Line of the Stewarts in Ardcheanochdan and Duart "were a long time foresters of Glenfinglas under [the] Glenbuckie family." Confusingly, the text also describes describes the progenitor of the Stewarts in Edraleachdach (V-Branch of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie) as: "James Mac Alastir foresaid [who] had a son [who was] a tenant of Lorachans [on] Loch Cathrineside [in] Callander parish, [on the] estate of Drummond, whose offspring goes under the denomination of Lorachans." Thus, III-Branch and V-Branch both appear to descend from sons of the same James mac Alastir mhic Dhunachy. Our best attempt to reconcile these descriptions would be to suggest that James mac Alastir mhic Dhunachy Stewart had three sons, two of whom were progenitors of the later five lines of the Stewarts in Ardcheanchdan, and one of whom was the progenitor of the later four lines of the Stewarts in Edraleachdach. As we do not know how the lines of descent of the Stewarts in Ardcheanochdan diverge, they are presently shown here as five separate lines. | Stewart, James mac Alastir mhic Dhunachy in Ardcheanochdan (III & V-Branches of Glenbuckie) Forester in Glen Finglas (I27780)

| 7042 | The Stewarts in Portnellan (VII-Branch of the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran) descend from an unknown Stewart of Gartnafuaran. The current preferred theory is that they may be a cadet line of the Stewarts of Blairgarry which is located near to Portnellan. However, their exact ancestry is unknown. | Stewart, _____ (VII-Branch of Gartnafuaran) (I17704)

| 7043 | The Stewarts in Torrie and Brackland (VIII-Branch of the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran) descend by unknown means from the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran. The current preferred theory is that they may be a cadet line of the Stewarts of Blairgarry. However, their exact ancestry is unknown. The children shown here are not necessarily siblings. They represent the theoretical founding persons of the various lines of the Stewarts in Torrie and Brackland. | Stewart, _____ in Brackland (VIII-Branch of Gartnafuaran) (I29588)

| 7044 | The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Book 3 indicates that "the first person of the name of Stewart actually settled in Glenfinglas, was James Stewart in Glen, who is mentioned in 1575 in the special Retour of James Stewart of Baldofran (Baldorran) in the lands of Emyrcrethan and Croftintarry (Easter and Wester Cregan in Strathyre)." The most likely candidate for this James would be James Stewart, son of Alexander Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie, who is believed to have had no children. In 1586 the following people were all included in a bond of manrent to Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy, for the murder of John MacOlchallum Comrie. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland). Walter Stewart in Bailliefoile (natural son of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie) Robert Stewart (son of Walter Stewart in Balliefoile) Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie Patrick Stewart, 1st of Ledcriech (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Robert Stewart of Broichie (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) James Stewart (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) John Stewart of Voil (natural son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Walter Stewart (natural son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) It is not known if James had children. He could be an ancestor of one of the unaccounted branches of Glenbuckie. | Stewart, James "in Glen" in Glenfinglas (I16000)

| 7045 | The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol 3 refers to three of Peter's daughters as "Caleb Stewarts" -- this being a reference to the fact that Peter's father was half-brother to Caleb Stewart, chief of this branch. Peter married on 29 DEC 1821 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Jean McGregor at which time they are described as being both of Balquhidder parish. Two of their daughters married Stewarts from the Auchnahard family in Glenfinglas. The Auchnahard family is accounted in The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol 3 in which the two daughters are referred to as "Caleb Stewarts" and each being sisters to "Mrs. Stewart in Laggan". Peter's date of death is not known, but he is recorded as already being deceased on his daughter Mary's death registration in 1858. | Stewart, Peter in Immervoulin (I17006)

| 7046 | The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol 3, says, "There were two brothers of this family living at Ardveich at the end of the 18th century. They were Alexander (Sandy) Stewart and his brother James Stewart. The eldest, Alexander (Sandy), was a wright.... The second brother, James, long resided about Stronvar. His son was called James Og and lived on a croft just where the nursery used to be at Ardvorlich. The croft was called Ashinranoch. He had two sons and about six daughters." Stewarts of the South presents James Ross Stewart as the patriarch of Line 5 and Alexander Stewart as the patriarch of Line 6. This would seem to suggest that Line 5 is senior to Line 6, but Stewarts of the South cannot be relied upon for accurate accounting of the seniority of secondary lines. Whereas, The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol 3, is quite specific that Sandy Stewart is the older brother and James Ross Stewart is the younger brother. Their father's name is not known for certain. He was probably one of the middle sons of John Dubh Mhor Stewart of Dalveich. Present accounting would favour that this line descends from Robert Stewart. James Ross Stewart lived at Wester Ardveich on the east side of the Beich Burn in Glen Beich, on the north shore of Loch Earn, just east of the village of Lochearnhead, in Comrie parish, Perthshire, Scotland. His ancestors had resided in that glen for three generations before him. He was a descendant (likely a great-grandson) of John Dubh Mhor Stewart of Dalveich, illegitimate son of the notorious Major James Beag Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich. James Ross Stewart's exact birth record has not been found. Records were far from legible or complete in the 1700s. James is believed to have married in the late 1750s to Catherine McLaren, however no record of their marriage has been found. The McLaren family had lived at Ardveich for many generations. In an era of intense religious conflict that erupted into war in James' lifetime, it's possible that they were not married in the established Church of Scotland. James Stewart and Catherine McLaren had ten children at Wester Ardveich between 1758-1777. According to Stewarts of the South, James was otherwise known as Sheumas Ross (Sheumas is Gaelic for James, so his English name would be James Ross Stewart. Ross can be a nickname form of Robertson, thus James' father may have been named Robert as we are presently suggesting, or his mother may have been a Ross/Robertson, or "Ross" ("ros") is also a Gaelic word meaning "a wooded promontory" and may refer to his residence i.e. "James of the Ross"). James was described as a "late tenant at Ardveich, Loch Earnside, on Drummond's estate." The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol 3 states that James Ross Stewart had two sons and about six daughters. Thus it is presumed that at least one of the daughters shown here died young. The McIntyre Letter states that James' son, James Og Stewart, was the youngest of three brothers. Parish records show no older sons for James Ross Stewart by Catherine McLaren. This could mean that James Ross Stewart had an earlier family with another woman. Which could explain why James' first son is not named Robert. Or the McIntyre letter may have confused James Og Stewart with his father James Ross Stewart as we know that James Ross Stewart was the youngest of at least two brothers. | Stewart, James Ross in Wester Ardveich and Stronvar (I15943)

| 7047 | The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol. 3 says that "Mary was mother of Robert and Peter Ferguson in St. Fillans." From this reference we can conclude that Mary married a Ferguson and had at least two sons, namely Robert and Peter who later lived in St. Fillans. Clan Ferguson records and parish records allow us to confidently identify Mary Stewart's husband and family. Clan Ferguson records indicate that Mary came from Fortingall, mistaking Mary for her daughter-in-law, Janet Stewart (wife of Robert Ferguson) who was from Fortingall. On 3 Aug 1787, at age 24, Mary Stewart married in Comrie parish, Perthshire, Scotland to Peter Ferguson. They settled in Easter Glentarken on the northeastern shore of Loch Earn in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, just west of the present-day village of St. Fillans. In the early 1800s, almost the entire population of Glen Tarken was forcibly removed from their homes by their landlord and relocated to the new planned village of St. Fillans. Mary Ferguson (Stewart) has not been found in 1841. In 1851, at age 86, Mary Ferguson (Stewart) was residing in St. Fillans, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, in the home of her son Peter Ferguson and his wife Helen and their kids. Mary was receiving parochial support at the time. Mary Ferguson (Stewart) has not been found in 1861 and is presumed to have died. | Stewart, Mary (I17125)

| 7048 | The Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Vol 3, says, "There were two brothers of this family living at Ardveich at the end of the 18th century. They were Alexander (Sandy) Stewart and his brother James Stewart. The eldest, Alexander (Sandy), was a wright...." The son, Alexander Stewart, is described as a wright on his son John Stewart's death registration. And he was a brother to James Ross Stewart. Stewarts of the South presents Alexander Stewart as the patriarch of Line 6 and James Ross Stewart as the patriarch of Line 5. This would seem to suggest that Line 5 is senior to Line 6, but Stewarts of the South cannot be relied upon for accurate accounting of seniority of secondary lines. Whereas, The Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Vol 3, is quite specific that Sandy Stewart is the older brother and James Ross Stewart is the younger brother. Sandy and James' father's name is not known for certain. He may have been a middle or younger son of John Dubh Mhor Stewart of Dalveich, however current chronology suggests he was more likely a grandson. Onomastics suggests his name was Robert, but this is not confirmed. Alexander's oldest son was named Robert. It was custom in that era for families to name their first son after the father's father. However, James Ross' oldest son was named James. While this would suggest that James' father's name should also be James, one of the known meanings for the name 'Ross' was a contraction of 'Robertson' or "son of Robert." And we cannot eliminate that possibility that James may have had an earlier son named Robert not known to us. Nothing more is known about this Stewart other than the fact that he presumably lived at Ardveich in Comrie parish, Perthshire, Scotland, and that he was a descendant (likely a granson) of John Dubh Mhor Stewart in Dalveich, who was an illegitimate son of the notorious Major James Beag Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich. Present accounting would favour that was the son of Robert Stewart in Glenbeich, but this is not confirmed. Given what we know of the culture of the area, and his clan, it is also likely that this Stewart was a Jacobite. Given the likely ages of his children, it's possible that he even fought at Culloden. | Stewart, Robert? in Ardveich (I24641)

| 7049 | The Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Vol. 3, describes Christian as "Christie Stewart of the Ardveich family" who had a brother "Donald of the Kichp" (modern spelling "Keip") who was grandfather of the Free Church minister in Killin; she was mother of "John of the Grodich". Christian Stewart married firstly to John Stewart in Auchnahard and secondly to John Stewart of Coirchrombie. Both of her husbands, her father, her first father-in-law, and her first son were all named John Stewart. It must have been hard for her to keep all her Johns straight. | Stewart, Christian in Keip (I14913)

| 7050 | The Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Vol. 3, p. 45 states that James Stewart, son of Alastair Mhor Stewart in Auchnahard, married "Monachyle's niece" and d.s.p. (died without children). "Monachyle" refers to Donald McDonald of Monachyle. His sister, Christian McDonald, married Alexander Stewart in Edinburgh, son of John Mor a Bhuntatat Stewart. Thus. Alexander's daughter, Catharine Stewart, was Monachyle's niece. | Stewart, Catharine (I14886)
