| 7101 | Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as being a "clark in Glasgow". | Stewart, Walter (I18355)
|
| 7102 | Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "There is also another brother of the real family and is nearest to the above mentioned Walter; [he is] a tenant in Glenfinglas -- one of the eight tenants of the name of Stewart -- and pays a rent of one hundred guineas. This person is rather a silly indolent man, and, however, has some abilities, but cannot make any use of them, either for himself or family. [He] is married to a very genteel woman from Aberdeenshire. [He] has three sons [who are] under age." And also as: "Mr Walter Stewart, Auchnahard [in] Glenfinglas, of the first branch of Gartnafuaran family, but very [illegible] them, an indifferent character to be so near the head of a family. £105. Earl of Murray's property. Unjustly turned out since this was wrote." (ca. 1815, the same time that the family moved to Aberdeen.) The account of Mrs. Stewart of Milton says, "There were two Stewart families in Grodich. The earlier family are those who eventually went to Aberdeen. The latter went to Strathyre -- of this family was John who was nearly 100 when he died. Walter Stewart (Frangich) was in Glenfinlas. He married an Aberdeenshire woman McNab. He was of the first Grodichs." And also, "Walter Frangich had two sons who went to Aberdeen. Their names were, I think, Walter and Charles. Their mother was a MacNab and came from Aberdeenshire." Mrs. Stewart of Milton has conflated two generations of women: Walter's mother was a MacNab, but his wife was from Aberdeen. Clan MacNab records indicate that Catharine MacNab, daughter of Donald MacNab of Braeleny, married firstly to a Stewart, by whom she had one son before her husband died. The son lived in Kinellar, Aberdeenshire, in 1820 with his family and an uncle, Alexander Stewart, when MacNab relatives from France came for a documented visit. They were referred to as "The French MacNabs." This would explain Walter's nickname of "Frangich" which means "French speaker." Both the Stewarts of the South and Clan MacNab accounts can be easily reconciled with OPR and census records showing this Walter Stewart marrying Elizabeth Robertson from Kinellar, Aberdeenshire, and beginning their family in Auchnahard, Glenfinglas, Callander, Scotland and later moving to Kinellar, Aberdeenshire. Walter's birth shown here matches geographically, chronologically, and onomastically. | Stewart, Walter Frangich in Auchnahard (I18428)
|
| 7103 | Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "There was one Walter Stewart (the entry for Daniel, below, confirms that Walter was a brother to Andrew, above), once [a] tenant [in the] Breas of Doune, [who was] of the above race. [He] had a son [who is] a labourer to the Duke of Montrose. [He, in turn has] three sons at Buchanan in the Duke's works." | Stewart, Walter (I18353)
|
| 7104 | Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "There was one Walter, cousin to Doal (sic, "John") Ban Mor, tacksman in Ardvorlich, who left four sons." Comrie OPR records reveal that Walter resided at Dunan (also spelled "Dounan" in the OPR, "Downen" on an 18th century map, and "An Dunan" on modern maps). Dunan (prounced "doo-nan" or "down-an") means "little hill" and is located on the Ardvorlich estate above Balimeanach. The 18th century map clearly shows a residence located at Dunan, however today it is nothing more than a grassy hill on the climb up Ben Vorlich. | Stewart, Walter (I18443)
|
| 7105 | Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Walter Stewart once Tacksman of one eighth of Glenfinglas left two sons - now cottagers Duncragan Sir Pat Murrays estate Callander parish bought from Perth family, two sons." | Stewart, Walter (I18415)
|
| 7106 | Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Walter Stewart, a merchant in Callander - no family of sons." | Stewart, Walter (I18366)
|
| 7107 | Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Walter Stewart, who is a gardener in Glasgow He has three sons who are minors." | Stewart, Walter in Glasgow (I18414)
|
| 7108 | Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Walter, a labourer in Glasgow." | Stewart, Walter (I18354)
|
| 7109 | Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Walter, a shepherd with MacFarlan of Coillechra, who has one son." | Stewart, Walter (I18418)
|
| 7110 | Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Walter, [a] tenant in Stroine. [He] left three sons: John, Donald & Alexander, [who each] retained a good part of their father's hospitality." | Stewart, Walter (I18407)
|
| 7111 | Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Walter, [who] died at home." | Stewart, Walter (I18417)
|
| 7112 | Walter is recorded in Stewarts of the South as "a surgeon, a decent clever man died there also." | Stewart, Dr. Walter (I18365)
|
| 7113 | Walter is the ancestor of Arnprior. | Buchanan, Walter (I2049)
|
| 7114 | Walter may be one of the sons described in Stewarts of the South as having made a fortune in the West Indies. | Stewart, Walter (I18357)
|
| 7115 | Walter served in the Indian Army. He was gazetted a 2nd Lieutenant on 3 September 1892 and later raised to Captain. He never married nor had children. | Stewart, Capt. Walter Fitz Alan (I18427)
|
| 7116 | Walter Stewart has not been found in any census record and is presumed to have died young or emigrated to an unknown location. | Stewart, Walter (I25250)
|
| 7117 | Walter Stewart is buried in Zion United Church Cemetery, Dundee, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. | Stewart, Walter (I24940)
|
| 7118 | Walter Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Rob, in Blairchoill, had a second son named Walter, formerly [a] tenant in Ardvorlich, who left one son, now tenant in Offerings." Comrie parish records reveal no indication of any Walter Stewart having had children while residing at Ardvorlich, so it is suggested that Walter must have removed from Ardvorlich prior to having children. | Stewart, Walter (I18416)
|
| 7119 | Walter Stewart was Lord of Brechin, Earl of Caithness, Earl of Atholl and Great Justiciary of Scotland. Walter was part of the jury who tried his nephew Murdoch Stewart, Duke of Albany, Walter became involved to a lesser degree in a conspiracy headed by his grandson and heir Robert, Master of Atholl, and Sir Robert Graham for the assassination of the King and following the murder, committed at Perth on 20 February 1437, he was taken captive by the Earl of Angus. He was fastened to the same cross to which his grandson had been strapped and tortured, and had a paper crown placed upon his head with the words “traitor” three times inscribed. He repeatedly asserted his innocence even to the Papal Legate, Bishop of Urbino, but he did acknowledge that he had known of the plot and of his grandson’s involvement yet had done nothing to dissuade the perpetrators and accordingly he was found guilty of complicity and beheaded at Edinburgh, in April of 1437. He m. firstly, by 19 October 1378, to Margaret, daughter and heiress of Sir David de Barclay, Lord Brechin, in whose right he forcibly laid claim and possessed the lordship of Brechin, which, in his final words before execution, he acknowledged to be wrong and renounced them in favour of the rightful heir Sir Thomas Maule. He m. secondly, to Elizabeth, daughter of Sir William Graham of Kincardine, (Dispensation 1 August 1404. She survived him and m. secondly, to Sir John Stewart, Sheriff of Bute, and had issue) (MacGregor) | Stewart, Walter Earl of Atholl (I18422)
|
| 7120 | Walter Stewart's birth has not be identified. He resided at Boquhapple farm, about 1 km southwest of Thornhill. Stewarts of the South does not have a listing for Boquhapple; he may be listed under Thornhill. Possible match in Stewarts of the South: "there was one Walter Stewart once Tenant Breas of Down" (John Dubh na Strone, Glenbuckie VI) A member-submitted tree shows Walter being born 1726 March 27th Walter, son to Thomas Stewart and Christan Mcfarland. Witnesses Jo and Jas Stewarts, in fornication? (Kincardine OPR) I think this is wrong as it is too early and does not match onomastics at all. Other possibilities are: 1728 Janry 16 Unknown, John Stewart and Janet Symmons. Witnesses Robt stewart and David Symmons. 1729 July 3rd Walter, son to James Turnbull and Marjory Stewart in fornication. Witnesses Tho. Gosmor and Rot Turnbull. 1730 August 9th Unknown, to John Stewart and Janet Symmons. Witnesses Robt stewart and David Symmons. 1730 Septr 20 Unkown, twins to Thomas Stewart and Helin Edie. Witnesses Wm and Jo. Stewarts. 1754 June 30th ___, to George Stewart. | Stewart, Walter in Boquhapple (I27702)
|
| 7121 | Walter Stewart's date of birth is estimated based on the facts that he received lands in his own name in 1498 and 1500, and based on the estimated dates of birth for the children of his father's first marriage. Walter's place of birth is not known, but is presumed to be the family estate of Baldorran. "Walter Stewart, 3rd of Baldorran, was a son by his father’s second marriage and is so-styled when included in a charter by Robert Menzies of Comrie for the lands of Emmercrutage and Croftinderry in favour of William Stewart and Mariote Campbell for the duration of their lives and to their son, Walter, for the duration of his own life dated at Lochtay on 5 October 1498. He had a charter for the lands of Duchlas, in the Earldom of Lennox, from his father on 14 September 1500 and was witness to a charter by Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy for the lands of Schian in favour of his brother John Campbell of Auchreoch on 16 April 1513." (MacGregor) Duncan Stewart (1739) says: "Walter Stewart of Baldorran, obtained from King James IV a Charter of Confirmation of the lands of Duchlass, dated at Faulkland, 14th of September, 1500. This Walter sold Baldorran to William Livingston of Kilsyth about the year 1524 [sic - It was his son James who sold Baldorran], and after that was designed sometimes Baldorran and sometimes of Balquhidder, he being King's Baillie there. He purchased from Janet Oquhanan [Buchanan], a wadset-right she had upon some lands in Strathyre in the shire of Perth, as appears by a charter in his favours of the said lands, dated in 1528. He died in the year 1575 [sic - MacGregor has uncovered evidence that he died in 1546], or some short time before it, in the Faith and Peace of Queen Mary, as the writ bears. He married Eupham Reddoch, daughter to James Reddoch, Burgess of Stirling, Comptroller of Scotland, and Laird of Cultibragan, by whom he had issue, William and John. To William, he gave the lands of Duchlass in Dumbartonshire, which is confirmed by a charter under the Great Seal in 1545. He provides the estate of Duchlass to the heirs-male of his son, William's body, which failing, to John Stewart, his son also, but it seems they both died without issue. Walter had [illegible] wife a natural son, James, who was legitimated under the Great Seal in 1555, and the father is then alive, for he is designed simply, Filius natural Walter Stewart, de Baldorran." Walter married Euphemia, daughter of James Reidheugh, 1st of Tulliechettill, with whom he had a charter for the lands of Islanwragan from Janet, daughter and heiress of David Oquhanie, with consent of Charles Campbell, her eldest son and heir, on 18 July 1528, (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) | Stewart, Walter 3rd of Baldorran and Royal Baillie of Balquhidder (I18401)
|
| 7122 | Walter Stewart, 6th of Garchell, was compelled to subscribe to a Bond of Caution that he would keep the peace and also pay all damages which he had occasioned for intromitting with the teinds and duties of the Lordship of Coldingham in 1622. He sold the lands of Garchell to Robert Muschet of Craighead. It is not known if he had any children. There are no further records of this family. As this family predates OPRs, then it's entirely possible that Walter could have had children. However, as this family is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South, then, any descendant branches did not survive in Scotland until the early 19th century. So, either Walter had no surviving descendants, or his descendants were all female, or the entire family emigrated. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) | Stewart, Walter 6th of Garchell (I18405)
|
| 7123 | Walter succeeded his father as a tacksman at Brig o' Turk. He was expelled from Brig o' Turk by the Earl of Moray for cutting down an oak tree without permission and thereafter lived in reduced circumstances as a cottar in Glenfinglas. "Walter, son to John Stewart and Isabel Graham in Baleich was born the 30th day of March and baptized the first day of April 1765 by Mr Charles Rose at Donan." (Aberfoyle OPR) Stewarts of the South says: "He was, some years ago, turned out of that farm for some misconduct or other. His mother (sic. grandmother) was of Balchallan. It was for the small crime of cutting an oak tree [that] he was turned out and he denied the charge, but it was proven and no argument would prevail with the Earl of Murray to let him stay because of not letting the truth. But other people were undermining him. He had one eighth of Glenfinglas. He is now (ca. 1815) a poor cottager -- a real contrast of his progenitors, which shows the uncertainty of human affairs." Stewarts of the South also mentions that he had four sons, but does not mention their names. In 1794, Walter Stewart in Brig o' Turk was a witness to a house search warrant served by Henrietta Murray-McGregor, his future sister-in-law, against her brother James Murray-McGregor for non-payment of debt. Walter Stewart is cited twice in the Aberfoyle Kirk Session minutes for fornication, as follows: 1796 28th Feb, 1st March Margaret Mccallum in Craigughly, father Walter Stewart Serjeant Dumbartonshire Fencibles 1799 23rd, 27th & 30th June & 14th Augt. Walter Stewart Tenant in Bridge of Turk father of child of Margaret McCallum in Wester Craigughty Second child, first 1796 The names and genders of these children are not identified. They are not found in the Aberfoyle OPR. Based on the reference in Stewarts of the South indicating that Walter had four sons, it is presumed that these two unnamed children were sons. "The Dumbarton Fencibles was raised by Colonel Campbell of Stonefield in 1794. The regiment was first stationed in Guernsey, and in 1797 was moved to Ireland, being reduced to 500 the previous year. The Dumbarton Fencibles were actively employed during the Irish Rebellion. The regiment returned to Scotland in 1802, and was disbanded the same year." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_Fencible_Corps) "[At Guernsey, in 1796, the regiment] was reduced to 500 men-orders being issued to discharge all above that number. In consequence of this measure the regiment was benefited by the dismissal of some indifferent characters recruited in Glasgow and other adjacent towns; so that, although reduced in numbers, it gained in character." (Sketches of The Character, Manners, and Present State of the Highlanders of Scotland, Major-General David Stewart of Garth. https://electricscotland.com/history/sketches/highlandsketches97.htm) Whether Walter Stewart was one of the "indifferent" soldiers dismissed in 1796 is unknown, but the birth dates of his children suggest he was back home in Aberfoyle almost immediately. Walter is presumed to have married about 1800 to Polly McGregor although no record of their marriage has been found. Their children are described as lawful. In the early 1800s, following the birth of her two natural children, Walter's sister, Jean Stewart, is repeatedly cited in the Callander Kirk Session minutes for various transgressions in which she is identified as Mrs Paterson alias Jean Stewart, sister of Walter Stewart at Bridge of Turk. In 1801, Walter Stewart at Bridge of Turk is cited in the Aberfoyle Kirk Session minutes as a witness for Agnes Campbell against William Strang. William Strang was the intimate partner of Walter's sister, Jean. In 1802, Walter Stewart at Bridge of Turk is mentioned in the Aberfoyle Kirk Session minutes in a citation regaring his sister, Jean Stewart, in reference to one of her illegitimate children. No death or burial record has been found for Walter Stewart. He is not found in the 1841 census and is presumed to have died before 1841. | Stewart, Sgt. Walter 3rd in Brig o' Turk (I25236)

| 7124 | Walter T. Mcintyre, age 81, of Seaside, Oregon, formerly of Bellflower, died at 3 a.m. Thursday, May 9, 1991 at Providence Seaside Hospital, Seaside. A memorial service will be scheduled. Hughes-Ransom Mortuary of Seaside is in charge of the arrangements. Mr. McIntyre was born February 20, `90 at Bellflower, a son of Hugh and Belle Jordan McIntyre. He married Lora Lou Jackson, who survives. Other survivors include one son, David of Portland, Oregon; one daughter, Mary Ethel Potter of Portland; and one sister, Freda Horine of rural Arrowsmith. Mr. McIntyre who attended Illinois Wesleyan University was owner of McIntyre Travel, Klamath Falls, Oregon for 25 years. He had been employed by United Airlines for 15 years. He was a member of the Seaside United Methodist Church and Seaside Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks Lodge 1247. Walter married firstly and later divorce Irma Ruth Niles. He married secondly to Lora Lou Jackson | McIntyre, Walter Theodore (I10217)
|
| 7125 | Walter was a student of Divinity who had completed his studies, been licensed to preach, been presented to a congregation, and tragically died only a week before he was due to be ordained. Walter Stewart graduated in 1806 from the University of Glasgow. "(1806) 6993 Gualterus Stewart, Filius Natu Maximus Jacobie Acricolae in parochia de Callander in comitatu de Perth." (The Matriculation Albums of the University of Glasgow from 1728-1858) Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "James [sic "Walter"], [who is] a minister who got a parish from the Earl of Moray in the North (that of Alloa) [sic "Alves"]; the first Stewarts that ever had a presentation from that family." The confusion in Stewarts of the South between Walter and James arises because Walter's brother James was also a student of Divinity who also died prior to ordination. Walter is described in the Fasti Ecclesia for Alves parish in the presbytery of Elgin as follows: "Walter Stuart, licensed by the Presbytery of Dunblane, a probationer resident in Edinburgh; was presented by Francis, Earl of Moray, before 3rd Nov. 1818. He died at Elgin, 27th April 1819, his ordination having been fixed for 6th May." Walter's burial is recorded in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions in Callander cemetery: "195 by Alexander STUART, in memory of (his) brother Walter, died at Elgin 27 APR 1819, age 23, and brother James (a student) in Divinity died (at) Bracklinn 29 APR 1822, age 25." | Stewart, Walter (I18367)
|
| 7126 | Walter was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, but later moved Bayham Township, Elgin County, Ontario, Canada, where his father was born. In 1871, Walter was residing in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, as a young boy with his parents and siblings. In 1881, Walter was residing in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, as a boy with his parents and siblings. In 1891, Walter was residing in Bayham, Elgin, Ontario, Canada, on the farm of his grandparents, Duncan and Margaret Stewart. He was employed as a farmer. In 1901, Walter was residing in Bayham, Elgin, Ontario, Canada with his new wife and young son, John. Walter was residing on the farm of his uncle, John D Brown, where he was working as a farmer for his uncle. (John D Brown was born 13 Dec 1826 in Ireland. His wife Mary A Brown was born 11 Jun 1820 in the USA.) In 1921, Walter was residing in Bayham, Elgin, Ontario, Canada with his wife and children. He was employed as a farmer on his own farm. After Walter's wife, Clara Howell, died, he married her sister, Margaret. | Stewart, Walter Drummond (I18424)
|
| 7127 | Walter was included in a bond in 1622 in which he is recorded as the "brother-german of John Dow Stewart in Glenfinglas". The John Dow in question would be John Dubh Mor Stewart, 6th of Glenbuckie. He is believed to be the same Walter Stewart described in Stewarts of the South as "called Slioch Valter nan Cliugh ("Children of Walter of the Glen") of Glenbuckie house [who] was forester to the Earl of Monteith in Benvinu when that family lived in splendor in the Island of Port of Monteith." Stewarts of the South says "One of his descendants was commonly called by the name of Iain du na Stroain ("Black John of Stroan")" and that "John Du na Sroan had three grand uncles". Our present accounting shows that Black John of Stroan was probably a great-grandson of Walter, thus the three grand uncles would be additional sons of Walter. Walter is the founder of branch VI of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie, clan Sliochd Walter nan Cleugh. | Stewart, Walter nan Cleugh 1st of Strone and Forester of Benvenue (I18445)
|
| 7128 | Walter was residing with his parents in 1851 and 1861. He died young. | Stewart, Walter (I18369)
|
| 7129 | Walter was the grandfather of a later, Andrew Stewart, 2nd Lord Avendale in 1501. From this Andrew came three sons, Andrew Stewart, 3rd Lord of Avondale, later Lord Ochiltree; Henry Stewart created Lord Methven in 1528; and James Stewart of Beith, father of James, Lord Doune. Walter was also the ancestor of the Earls of Castle-Stuart in Ireland. Walter was witness to a charter in 1482 so was still alive at that time. Walter was ancestor of the Stewart families of Avendale, Ochiltree, Methven, Moray, Dunern and others. | Stewart, Walter 1st of Morphie (I18449)
|
| 7130 | Walter was the posthumous and illegitimate son of PatrickStuart and Jemima Matthews. Walter's father, Patrick Stewart's will was written in 1777. It names the unborn child of his mistress, Jemima Williams. It would appear therefore that Patrick knew he was going to die before his future son would be born. Patrick's father, William's will, drafted in 1778 mentions Patrick's infant son, Walter, by name, so Walter must have been born after 14 Dec 1777, when his father died, and before 2 Aug 1778, when his grandfather died. In 1816, Walter was residing in Wikinson, Mississippi, USA. In 1820, Walter Stewart was residing in Wilkinson, Mississippi, USA, with the following household members: 1 male 26-44 (Walter age 42) 1 female 26-44 (wife Jane) 1 male 16-25 (James D Stuart) 2 males 10-15 (unknown, possibly younger children) 4 males under 10 (unknown) 2 females under 10 (daughter Pauline plus unknown) 8 enslaved persons 19 other persons not taxed 38 persons total | Stuart, Walter (I18380)
|
| 7131 | Walter's birth is double registered in the Balquhidder OPR. The first registration leaves his name as blank. The second registration was written in years later and records his name as Walter. Walter is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South so it would normally be suggested that he died as a child. However, as the next brother, Peter, is not found in the OPR it is also possible that either Stewarts of the South simply got Peter's name incorrect and that it was really Walter who lived in Blartannach, or it's possible that the later registration in the OPR was mistaken and his name was really Peter. | Stewart, Walter (I18362)
|
| 7132 | Walter's birth is not listed in the Callander OPR. In 1851, at age 9, Walter Stewart was residing with his parents at Brig o' Turk in Callander Perthshire, Scotland. He has not been found in later census records. He is presumed to have died or emigrated to an unknown location. | Stewart, Walter (I25259)
|
| 7133 | Walter's mother's surname was recorded as McIrnin in the OPR. 1758, Walter STEWART and Mary STEWART both in this parish were listed to be proclaimed in order to marriage 8th April and after being orderly proclaimed were married 21st. (Callander OPR) Walter was previously believed to be the person referred to in Stewarts of the South as "The above Duncan (patriarch of 4 Line, not his son) had a brother [who was] a baker in Dunfermline with a family." Information from descendant Frank Dobson shows this line remained in Edraleachdach for the next generation. This family is currently accounted for as a cadet of the Stewarts in Edraleachdach and Lorrachan, however they also match with the description for Walter Stewart in Cuilantogle (8 Line of the Stewarts of Dalveich). | Stewart, Walter (I18399)

| 7142 | Washington Post, 14 Feb 2013 "Mr. Pittman spent nearly his entire career as a lawyer with the Washington firm of Shaw, Pittman, Potts & Trowbridge. A veteran of government commissions, he rose to national attention in 1961 when [President John F] Kennedy named him assistant secretary of defense in charge of civil defense. After graduating from Yale University in 1941, the younger Pittman worked in Asia for a subsidiary of Pan American World Airways that delivered supplies to the Flying Tigers, the U.S. volunteers fighting alongside the Chinese against Japan. Mr. Pittman joined the Marine Corps after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and served alongside Chinese guerrillas. He received the Silver Star for his actions while commanding a Chinese junk in the East China Sea that came under enemy fire shortly after the Japanese surrender in 1945. The commander of the enemy junk - ultimately defeated - apparently did not know, or could not bring himself to believe, that the war was over. Mr. Pittman received a law degree from Yale in 1948 and worked in Washington as a government lawyer assigned to the Marshall Plan for postwar economic recovery in Europe. In 1954, he helped found Shaw, Pittman, Potts & Trowbridge (now Pillsbury, Winthrop, Shaw & Pittman). His specialties included aviation law and international investment finance and trade. Mr. Pittman retired about 25 years ago, but he maintained an office at the law firm until his death. He resided on Dodon Farm, a 550-acre tract in Davidsonville founded by his family six generations earlier, and presided over the property for decades. His first marriage, to the former Antoinette Pinchot, ended in divorce. She later was married to and divorced from Benjamin C. Bradlee, the former executive editor of The Post. Survivors include his wife of 54 years, Barbara White Pittman of Dodon Farm and Washington; four children from his first marriage, Andrew Pittman of Bethesda, Nancy Pittman Pinchot of New Haven, Conn., Rosamond Pittman Casey of Charlottesville and Tamara Pittman of New York City; three children from his second marriage, Patricia Pittman, Steuart Pittman Jr. and Romey Pittman, all of Dodon Farm; and 15 grandchildren." (Washington Post, 14 Feb 2013) He married twice and had children from both marriages. The rest of his family are not shown here. | Pittman, Steuart Lansing Sr. of Dodon (I22347)
