7116 Walter Angus died young at the age of 17. Angus, Walter (I22829)
 
7117 Walter Angus was born in the year 1900 in Lancaster, Lancashire, England. His parents were residing at 10 Back George Street, Lancaster. His father, William, was working as an electrician.

In 1901, at age 1, Walter Angus was residing at 10 Back George Street in Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his parents and siblings.

In 1911, at age 11, Walter Angus was residing at 12 Albion Street in Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his parents and siblings. He was a student at the time.

In April 1934, at age 34, Walter Angus married in Lancaster, Lancashire, England to Elsie M Gregson. Online trees indicate that they had children, but the information is privatized.

In 1939, at age 39, Walter Angus was residing at 36 Chester Place in Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his wife. He was employed as a warehouseman in a factory. 
Angus, Walter (I309)
 
7118 Walter Bailloch ("freckled") was the first in the family who was not a High Steward to use Stewart as a surname. Stewart, Walter Bailloch Earl of Menteith (I17939)
 
7119 Walter died as a child from whooping cough and pheumonia. Liptrot, Walter (I9007)
 
7120 Walter Drummond was appointed Dean of Dunblane. The nearby village of Deanston ("Dean's Town") was named after him. Drummond, Walter 1st of Deanston (I5138)
 
7121 Walter Fitz-Alan was the second son of Alan Fitz-Flaad. About 1136 he accompanied King David I of Scots to Scotland and served faithfully under him. As a reward for his loyalty David appointed Walter as Steward of the King of Scots. It was not until Walter's son that the title would be broadened to High Steward of Scotland. Walter was founder of Paisley Abbey, and he married Eschyna de Molle, daughter of Thomas de Londoniis. Her exact origins are unclear. Walter died in 1177 having retired to Melrose Abbey.

English Land Holdings

Walter was a minor English landholder. He held North Stoke, north of Arundel, in West Sussex, England, by way of a grant from his brother, William. There is reason to suspect that Walter also held Manhood, south of Chichester. He also held land at "Conelon" or "Couten", a place that possibly refers to Cound in Shropshire.

Walter's Arrival in Scotland

Walter appears to have arrived in Scotland in about 1136, during the reign of David I, King of Scots. Following King Henry of England's death in 1135, the Fitz-Alans evidently sided with David in his support of the contested English royal claims of Henry's daughter, Matilda. Certainly, both William and Walter witnessed acts of Matilda in 1141. In any event, the date of Walter's introduction into Scotland may be marked by the original part of the so-called "foundation charter" of Melrose Abbey, which records Walter as a witness.

Walter, along with several other Norman/Breton lords including Robert de Brus, were enticed to Scotland by significant land grants by King David. As a result of their tenure in high office, and their dominating regional influence, these provincial lords were equal to the native Scottish earls in all but rank.

The commonality of surnames between Renfrewshire and Shropshire indicate that it is likely that Walter enticed many lesser families to move with him from Shropshire and settle in Renfrewshire, perhaps as a pacifying strategy. Some knights that are believed to have accompanied Walter include: Grimketil, Adam of Kent, Ralph of Kent, Hugh of Biggar, Ralph de Lyle, Roland of Mearns, Peter and Robert who were sons of Fulbert, Robert Montgomery, Reginald of Cathcart, and Robert de Croc. (Paisley Live)

Personal Steward to King David I

Walter served as David's dapifer or senescallus (steward). He served in this capacity for three successive Scottish kings: David, Malcolm IV, and William I "The Lion". Walter is increasingly attested by royal charters from about 1150, and it is possible that it was at about this time that David granted him the stewardship to be held heritably. As the king's steward, Walter would have been responsible for the day-to-day running of the king's household. Whilst the chamberlain was responsible for the king's sleeping compartments, the steward oversaw the king's hall. Walter's ancestors were stewards to the Breton lords of Dol. In fact, his elder brother, Jordan, inherited this stewardship from their father, and held this office at the time of Walter's own establishment in Scotland. As such, it is probable that Walter possessed a degree of experience in the profession.

Personal Steward to King Malcolm IV

In 1161/62, following the death of King David I, King Malcolm IV confirmed Walter's stewardship, and confirmed David's grants of Renfrew, Paisley, Pollock, "Talahret", Cathcart, Dripps, Mearns, Eaglesham, Lochwinnoch and Innerwick. He also granted Walter West Partick, Inchinnan, Stenton, Hassenden, Legerwood and Birkenside, as well as a toft with twenty acres in every burgh and demesne in the realm. For this grant, Walter owed his sovereign the service of five knights.

Walter still held lands worth two knights fees in Shropshire, England, but the majority of his land holdings were in Scotland.

In the 1160s, during the reign of Malcolm IV, there was an uprising in Galloway, led by Fergus of Galloway, which was put down. It is likely that Walter was part of Malcolm's army that suppressed the uprising. This was followed by an invasion by Somerled, Lord of the Isles, against Walter's lands in Renfrew. Walter was one of three commanders of the King's forces that repelled Somerled's army and led to the death of Somerled. (Fergus and Somerled were both ancestors of the Stewarts of Balquhidder.)

Paisley Priory Founded and Dedicated to St. James

In 1163, Walter founded Paisley Priory (later Paisley Abbey), dedicated to the service of St. James. James was not a popular saint at this time in Scotland and the forename James was virtually unused in the land. The name seems to have become popularized by the Fitz-Alan/Stewart family. (Wikipedia)

Several sources mistakenly show Walter Fitz-Alan as having a son named Simon, whereas it appears more likely that Simon was a brother of some form. Simon's exact relationship is disputed. 
Fitz-Alan, Sir Walter Steward of the King of Scots (I5762)
 
7122 Walter had descendants. Stewart, Sir Walter of Dalswinton and Garlies (I17944)
 
7123 Walter has not been found in any census records. His date of birth here is merely an estimation. Brown, Walter (I1861)
 
7124 Walter held the lands of Ardnandave in Strathyre. This farm borders with the shieling lands of Glen Buckie and Glen Finglas. It is not known if Walter had any descendants. This branch is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South (ca. 1815) or Duncan Stewart's History (1739), so if Walter had any descendants then his line was likely extinct prior to the early 18th century.

The only evidence we have for Walter's existence comes from the following: 16 August 1516. Letters of reversion by Walter Stewart, son of deceased Alexander Stewart, to George Buchanan of Strathir (Strathyre), son and heir of deceased Patrick Buchanan of that ilk, over lands of Arnadawf (Ardnandave) in barony of Strathyre, sheriffdom of Perth, redemption to be made on high altar of the Rude Kirk of Stirling. (Breadalbane Muniments c/o Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) 
Stewart, Walter in Ardnandave (I17943)
 
7125 Walter is believed to be the one who married and had children as indicated here. This relationship is not confirmed.

In 1841, Walter was residing at Callander No 1 with his wife and children, Duncan and Malcolm, and living nextdoor to sisters Mary and Catharine. He was employed as a carter.

In 1851, Walter was residing at Wester Crachavie, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and children Duncan, Malcolm, Alexander and Violet. He was employed as an agricultural labourere.

In 1861, Walter Stewart appears to be living as a servant/plowman at the home of Donald MacFarlane in Auchray, Aberfoyle, Perthshire. He may be Walter's wife's father or uncle. His wife, Margret Stewart (nee MacFarlane), 46 years old (born about 1815 in Lochgoilhead, Argyle, is residing in Wester Crachavie, Aberfoyle, and employed as plowman’s wife is living with her children Alexander, (15 years old, born about 1846 in Aberfolye), Violet, (10 years old, born about 1851 in Aberfoyle), Margaret, (8 years old, born about 1853 in Aberfolye), Mary, (6 years old, born about 1855 in Aberfolye).

In 1871, Walter Stewart was residing at Craigland, Aberfolyle, age 54 years old, employed as an agricultural labourer. His wife is not with him. He is living with daughters Ann, 22 years old, born about 1849 in Aberfoyle, employed as a housekeeper and Mary, 16 years old, born about 1855 in Aberfoyle.

In 1881, at age 65, Walter was residing in Aberfoyle county (residence not specified), Perthshire, Scotland, alone as a widower.

On 1 Aug 1881 at age 66, Walter Stewart died at North Church Street, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, He is recorded as an outdoor labourer, widower of Margaret MacFarlane, son of Duncan Stewart, farmer, and Annie Stewart nee MacGregor, both of whom were deceased. The informant is Walter's son-in-law, John McKeller. 
Stewart, Walter (I20575)
 
7126 Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as a schoolmaster in Temple S. (Street/School/Stewart?) in Edinburgh. Stewart, Walter (I17721)
 
7127 Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as being a "clark in Glasgow". Stewart, Walter (I17913)
 
7128 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 (I17906)
 
7129 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 (I17911)
 
7130 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 (I17910)
 
7131 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 (I17923)
 
7132 Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Walter Stewart, a merchant in Callander - no family of sons." Stewart, Walter (I17724)
 
7133 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 (I17922)
 
7134 Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Walter, a labourer in Glasgow." Stewart, Walter (I17912)
 
7135 Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Walter, a shepherd with MacFarlan of Coillechra, who has one son." Stewart, Walter (I17926)
 
7136 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 (I17935)
 
7137 Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Walter, [who] died at home." Stewart, Walter (I17925)
 
7138 Walter is recorded in Stewarts of the South as "a surgeon, a decent clever man died there also." Stewart, Dr. Walter (I17723)
 
7139 Walter is the ancestor of Arnprior. Buchanan, Walter (I2048)
 
7140 Walter may be one of the sons described in Stewarts of the South as having made a fortune in the West Indies. Stewart, Walter (I17915)
 
7141 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 (I17905)
 
7142 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 (I24459)
 
7143 Walter Stewart is buried in Zion United Church Cemetery, Dundee, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. Stewart, Walter (I24328)
 
7144 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 (I17924)
 
7145 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 (I17940)
 
7146 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 matches in Stewarts of the South:
- "there was one Walter Stewart once Tenant Breas of Down" (John Dubh na Strone, Glenbuckie VI)
- Charles and Duncan Stewart in Buchlyvie (Gartnafuaran)
Duncan Stewart in Buchlive: "I forgot to mention to you that Charles Stewart, [the] saddler in Buchlive, had a brother called Duncan Stewart, [who was a] tenant of Paddock-ha’ in Erskine of Cardross’ estate, [in] Port [of Menteith] Parish, whose wife is a widow in the Parish of Gargonock, and has six or seven sons, some of them come to manhood, and some under age, all doing well, and scattered in service over the country." (Appendix, Gartnafuaran family)
- "James Stewart, [a] maltman and farmer in Bochlive, in the estate of Graham of Gartmore, [in] Kippen parish. Rent £100. [He has] three sons." (Stewarts in Buchlyvie, Grantully 4-Line)

Walter Stewart could fit with any of these.

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 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 (I26519)
 
7147 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 (I17929)
 
7148 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 (I17933)
 
7149 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.
