7157 This "Robert" is a theoretical construct only. The earliest verifiable ancestor of this branch is James Stewart in Auchnandave in Strathyre. Onomastics would favour that James' father's name was probably "Robert". This "Robert" Stewart, who probably resided in Strathyre, descends from the Stewarts of Glenogle at an uncertain point. As this branch is recorded as being junior to the Monachyle and Stank branches, but senior to the later branches, it is suggested that "Robert" was probably a grandson of Duncan Stewart, 2nd in Monachyle (shown above), through an unknown younger son, possibly named "James". Stewart, Robert? (I17357)
 
7158 This "Unknown Stewart" is merely a theoretical place holder to anchor the later Stewarts in Comrie and Port of Menteith. These later Stewarts are recorded in Stewarts of the South as: "There was a branch of Stewarts that says they are of the family of Grantulloch (Grandtully). [They] came to Strathearn with a daughter of Grantully that was married to the Laird of Lawers. But they know scarcely anything of their own extraction. This was the last Laird of Lawers of the name of Campbell, who was murdered by Barron Edramucky in Greenock when he was to be married to a grandaunt of General Campbell of Monzie."

The Stewart "daughter of Grantully" mentioned above can be further identified by the following references from Gordon MacGregor's, Landed Families of Strathearn: "James Campbell, 8th of Lawers, retoured heir to his half-brother, James Campbell, 7th of Lawers, on 12 Jul 1703 and is then styled as "a son by a second marriage of James Campbell of Lawers." He was murdered in his sleep by Duncan Campbell of Edramuckie while asleep in lodgings in Greenock on 22 Apr 1723 and had no issue. His mother was Anna Stewart, dtr of William Stewart, 1st of Innernytie. She married in Aug 1678 to James Campbell, 6th of Lawers. William Stewart, 1st of Innernytie, was second the son of Sir William Stewart, 9th of Grandtully."

Thus, we can say that this family came to Comrie and Menteith in the company of the family of Anna Stewart, daughter of William Stewart, 1st of Innernytie, but that doesn't help us necessarily identify the progenitor. It could have been a brother, uncle, or a cousin of Anna's who accompanied her.

We can eliminate all of Anna's lawful brothers as they have all been accounted for. There is no record of Anna having an illegitimate brother, but it's possible that her father could have had an unrecorded natural son. There are several potential candidates amongst the sons of her uncles, the younger sons of William Stewart, 9th of Grandtully.

Anna's companion could also be more distantly related, however William Stewart, 9th of Grandtully, had only one known brother who had no issue, thus the next closest possibility would be a third-cousin to Anna. It seems unlikely that a relative more distantly related than, say, first or second cousin would be called upon to be Anna's caretaker, but it's impossible to eliminate that possibility.

Thus, for now, we suggest the most likely connection would be a hypothetical grandson of William Stewart, 9th of Grandtully, through one of his younger sons, as shown here. And that this "____ Stewart" may be identical with one of the identified sons of William Stewart, 9th of Grandtully. 
Stewart, _____ in Lawers (I17709)
 
7159 This Alexander may be the Alexander Stewart in Gartnafuaran referred to 1708 testament of Alexander Stewart in Duart which refers to the deceased's wife as Janet Stewart, daughter of the late Alexander Stewart in Gartnafuaran. As the Gartnafuaran estate passed to Walter then we must assume that this Alexander either didn't survive or had no surviving male heirs. (This is a problematic suggestion as Alexander would have been about 85 years old in 1708.)

This accounting is not confirmed but is supported secondly also by onomastics. With Andrew's father and father-in-law both being named Alexander, it is almost certain the Andrew would have named his eldest son, Alexander.
 
Stewart, Alexander (I14768)
 
7160 This Alexander presumably died young before the birth of his same-named older brother. However since one of these two Alexanders also went by the name "Sandy Rob" (likely the older Alexander) it is possible that there were two Alexanders who lived to adult, one of whom went by "Sandy Rob" . Stewart, Alexander (I14373)
 
7161 This Alexander Stewart was previously believed to be a third marriage for Alexander Stewart in Bochastle (3-Line of the Stewarts in Edraleachdach), but is not longer believed to be so. His ancestry is currently unidentified. Stewart, Alexander in Milton of Cambus (I28706)
 
7162 This Alexander was mentioned in the following bond: "Bond by Alexander Stewart in Ardvorlich, James Stewart, his eldest son, Alexander Stewart in Portnellan, Andrew Stewart of Blairgarrie, Duncan Stewart in Monochyle, Alexander Stewart in Glenogle, John Dow Stewart in Glenfinglas and Walter Stewart his brother german, for all their kin in Strathgartney and Balquhidder, to William, earl of Menteith. Dated in January of 1622." This is the earliest record we have for any Stewart possessing Glenogle.

Gordon MacGregor (The Red Book of Scotland) says, "Alexander Stewart, in Glenogle, who, with other heads of local Stewart families, subscribed to a Bond of Manrent to William, Earl of Menteith, in January of 1622." MacGregor shows Alexander as being a son of Duncan MacAlasdair Stewart in Carnlea. 
Stewart, Alexander in Glenogle (I14625)
 
7163 This ancestry for Malcolm, 1st Earl of Ross, is suggested by Stirnet.com, but is not verified. Ross, Malcolm of (I13408)
 
7164 This Andrew is suggested as the Andrew Stewart in Blairgarry mentioned in the 1622 Bond: "Bond by Alexander Stewart in Ardvorlich, James Stewart, his eldest son, Alexander Stewart in Portnellan, Andrew Stewart of Blairgarrie, Duncan Stewart in Monochyle, Alexander Stewart in Glenogle, John Dow Stewart in Glenfinglas and Walter Stewart his brother german, for all their kin in Strathgartney and Balquhidder, to William, earl of Menteith. Dated in January of 1622." He is also mentioned in: "Sasine to Andrew Stewart, eldest lawful son of James Stewart of Blairgarry, for the lands of Blairgarry to which Andrew Stewart in Chapel of Lanrick is bailie, and which lands had previously been held by the now deceased Andrew Stewart of Blairgarry, father of the said James." Dated 20 December, 1656. RS51/4/f.131r (National Archives of Scotland) Stewart, Andrew 2nd of Blairgarry (I14593)
 
7165 This birth is not confirmed. Elizabeth married Duncan McNaughton from Morell in Easter Glentarken. There was a family of McNabs also in Easter Glentarken at the time, namely the family of Duncan McNab and Margaret Stewart shown here as the parents of this Elizabeth McNab. They had a family as shown here, but their last child's name is not recorded in the Comrie OPR. It just shows McNab daughter born 13 May 1749. She's the perfect age and living in the same location as her husband shown here. McNab, Elizabeth (I21596)
 
7166 This birth is not found in Susan Sauve's transcriptions. Stewart, Margaret (I16889)
 
7167 This child's name and gender is unknown. Their birth is not recorded in the Aberfoyle parish register. It comes from an entry in the Aberfoyle Kirk Session minutes reprimanding the parents for fornication. Stewarts of the South says that Walter Stewart in Brig o' Turk had four sons. He only had two sons with his wife, Polly McGregor, thus it is presumed that this child was a son who lived long enough to be mentioned in Stewarts of the South, ca. 1815-1820. Stewart, _____ (I24617)
 
7168 This child's name and gender is unknown. Their birth is not recorded in the Aberfoyle parish register. It comes from an entry in the Aberfoyle Kirk Session minutes reprimanding the parents for fornication. Stewarts of the South says that Walter Stewart in Brig o' Turk had four sons. He only had two sons with his wife, Polly McGregor, thus it is presumed that this child was a son who lived long enough to be mentioned in Stewarts of the South, ca. 1815-1820.
 
Stewart, _____ (I24618)
 
7169 This child's name is not recorded in the Kilmadock OPR. Nothing more is known of this child. It is very possible that she is identical to Elizabeth Stewart, shown here as her sister with an unrecorded birth. Stewart, Child (I21523)
 
7170 This Daniel is recorded only in the 1873 Family Tree and is shown as having died young without children. He is not found in any census or OPR record. Stewart, Daniel (I14902)
 
7171 This daughter died in infancy. Her name is not known. Brown, Daughter (I22249)
 
7172 This daughter is found only in the 1881 census. Her name is not given. Her age is given as 3 months. She cannot be identical with her sister, Esther, who is also shown in the same census. Stewart, _____ (I26619)
 
7173 This daughter is not named in the Comrie OPR and she is not found in the 1841 census with her parents and is presumed to have died at birth. Stewart, Daughter (I14696)
 
7174 This daughter was stillborn and was not named. Liptrot, Daughter (I9024)
 
7175 This daughter's name is not known. The family gravestone in Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, lists her mother's death with the inscription being ascribed to her daughter "M A McLellan." It is presumed that she is not the same person as her sister Margaret McFarlane McLellan as they have different middle initials. McClellan, M A (I30519)
 
7176 This daughter's name is not recorded in the Balquhidder parish register. Her place of birth is listed as Licscridan. She is presumed to have died at birth. Stewart, Daughter (I14693)
 
7177 This daughter's name is unknonw. All we know of her existence is that she was the daughter of the eldest son of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie, and that she married her first-cousin, once-removed, Alexander Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie. Her date of birth here is merely an estimate.

Duncan Stewart (1739), says the following:
"Patrick [Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie] married, first, a daughter of Lecky of that Ilk, secondly, he married a daughter to Edmonstron of Broich. He had twelve sons that came to matruity, but died himself without issue, only the eldest left a daughter...."

He later says, "Alexander [Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie], who married _____ Stewart, grand-daughter to the foresaid Patrick...."
 
Stewart, Daughter (I20721)
 
7178 This daughter's name is unknown. She married on 27 Oct 1658 in Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland to Robert Cunningham. The record of their marriage is illegible so no further information can be discerned from it. No children have been found for this couple.

Robert Cunningham may have married secondly to Janet Logan and resided in Drymen parish, Stirlingshire, Scotland. 
Stewart, _____ (I30840)
 
7179 This Donald is referred to as presently of Achnacone by Duncan Stewart (1739), who says, "Dougal, predecessor of Achnaguone, was third son to Alan Stewart of Apine. Of him, in lineal descent, is Donald Stewart, now of Achnaguone, who has brothers, Alexander, Duncan, Alan, Dougal." Stewart, Donald of Achnacone (I23100)
 
7180 This Duncan Galloch is recorded as the son of Donald Galloch with no mother's name given. It is believed there was only one Donald Galloch that could be his father, but this relationship is not certain. Galloch, Duncan (I6211)
 
7181 This entry is uncertain and is derived only from the following gravestone inscription: "M. Stirton, son of David & McNaughton, 1908-1970". The inscription is on the side of the same stone as David A. McNaughton and is the right age to be his son. I believe this is a transcription error in the Crown Cemetery Transcriptions book, which I believe should read: "M. Stirton (McNaughton), son of David A. McNaughton, 1908-1970". McNaughton, M. Stirton (I10573)
 
7182 This Eve is often confused for the Eve who married Alan FitzWalter, 2nd High Stewart of Scotland. They are not the same Eve. Thorson, Eve (I18663)
 
7183 This family does not show up in the 1880/81 Canadian or American census. Barnes, Amelia (I524)
 
7184 This family had children, the records of which are beyond the scope of my research. Stewart, Mary Elizabeth (I17297)
 
7185 This family is a perfect match for the following family on Kirk Lane on Flanders Moss in the 1814 Moss Census. Furthermore, later members of this family also came from Kirk Lane on Flanders Moss.

The heads of this household are Alexander McFarlane and Christian McLean, which could easily be a transcription error for McLaren. However their ages as given suggest they are way too old to be the parents of the younger children of this family. Thus, they may be the grandparents, or the ages given may also be transcription errors.

7186 This family is being discussed at http://www.hostmybb.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=325&mforum=stewart . According to descendant records, this Janet Stewart married Robert McLaren, b 1786, son of Donald McLaren and Margaret Stewart (m 1779 in Kilmadock and Callander, Margaret's birth has not been identified). Stewart, Jannet (I16425)
 
7187 This family is not found at all in the 1851 Scotland census and it is suggested that they likely emigrated between 1844-1851. Stewart, Donald Daniel in Lots (I14904)
 
7188 This family is purely speculative at the moment. Peter Stewart in Gargunnock may be a descendant of the Stewarts of Coille Mhor as others from that family ended up in Gargunnock. If so, then this is presently the best candidate for such a connection. However, there is no evidence to show what Peter Stewart's actual origins are. Stewart, Patrick Peter (I31774)
 
7189 This Finlay McIntyre could be the same person as the other Finlay McIntyre b abt 1750 in this database.

Finlay McIntyre and Catherine McLaren were married August 6, 1770 "Contracted at Balquidder Finlay McIntyre in this parish and Catherine in the parish of Comrie". 
McIntyre, Finlay in Carnlia (I23913)
 
7190 This Helen is nearly identical to another Helen Stewart 10 MAR 1811 in Lianach of Glenbuckie as a daughter of John Stewart in Lianach -- Sliochd Walter nan Cliugh of Glenbuckie, and who married Alexander Fergusson and had a family with him in Strathyre. Whereas the later whereabouts of this Helen Stewart from Wester Achra is unknown. Stewart, Helen (I15698)
 
7191 This is not a real person. It is a placeholder to attach branches of the Stewarts of Balquhidder for which their origin is unknown or unconfirmed. Stewart, _____ Balquhidder (Families with an unknown connection to the Stewarts of Balquhidder) (I28622)
 
7192 This is the date of contract or dispensation. The actual date of marriage is unknown. Drummond, Sir Malcolm of Cargill and Stobhall (I5114)
 
7193 This is the date of contract or dispensation. The actual date of marriage is unknown. Moray, Marion of Tullibardine (I11115)
 
7194 This is the great clan chief Cailean Mor after whom all subsequent Campbell chiefs take their appelation "MacCailean Mor Campbell". Campbell, Sir Cailean Mor (I2346)
 
7195 This is the only family in the Comrie OPR that matches the birth/family description of Margaret Drummond-alias-Mcgregor who married Duncan Stewart.

A perfect match has been found for her birth family but she is unnamed in the birth record, thus it has eluded discovery. (Thanks to John Andrew Hutchison for discovering it.)
Marriage: 14/08/1796 WILLIAM DRUMMOND+MARGARET MCEWEN COMRIE
Children:
18/10/1795 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/MARGARET MACEWAN, WILLIAM
08/10/1797 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/MARGARET MCEWEN, JOHN
23/06/1799 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/MARGARET MCEWEN, DONALD
07/06/1801 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/MARGARET MCEWEN, DUNCAN
20/03/1803 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/MARGT. MCEWEN, ALEXANDER
06/01/1805 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/MARGT. MCEWEN, JAMES
21/09/1806 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/MARGARET MCEWEN, CHRISTIAN
17/06/1810 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/ MCEWEN, daughter at Balmuick
19/12/1813 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/MARGT. MCEWEN, DONALD

The following entries are from the Comrie Kirk Session Minutes:

Comrie Jany 25th 1795 Cathrine McEwen servant maid with William Drummond farmer in Balmuck with child, said William Drummond father
Comrie Feby 22nd/March 15th/March 22nd 1795 William Drummond in Balmuck denies being father of Cathrine McEwen's child
Comrie April 26th 1795 Willm Drummond in Balmuck confessed being father of Cathrine McEwen's child
Comrie May 10th 1795 [Cathrine scored out] Margaret McEwen in Malarbeg with child William Drummond in Balmuck father
Comrie May 31st 1795 Cathrine McEwen fornication with William Drummond
Comrie 30th July/13th Augt 1797 William Drummond fornication with Cathrine MacEwen

Mother Margaret, sons William and John, appear to be together on the 1841 and 1851 records. Margaret 67 on 1841, William 45, John 40, and on 1851 Margaret 78, William 54, John 53.

All of this information fits. The unnamed daughter is the correct age. Her mother's name is Margaret so we would expect a daughter named Margaret in this birth order. Margaret Drummond and Duncan Stewart's second son was named William and their second daughter was named Margaret, which also fits perfectly with onomastics. This family had a son named James who was just a few years older than Margaret who would be just the right age to be her older brother who was out playing with her and was struck by lightning. When this family is found in 1841 and 1851 James is not with them suggesting that he had died young. Their unnamed daughter is not there either, supporting that she was in Canada at the time.

This family has not been found in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions. 
Drummond, William (I24415)
 
7196 This James may actually be the grocer in Glasgow, currently shown as a cousin of this James. Stewart, James Grocer in Glasgow? (I28157)
 
7197 This John Ferguson is not the John Ferguson who worked as a game keeper in Glenartney and Woodhouse of Glentarken. John Ferguson, the gamekeeper was the son of James Ferguson and Janet Gow, and married Catherine Stalker. Ferguson, John (I25272)
 
7198 This John Reid is not confirmed. His name has been extrapolated based on the Scots naming pattern of Mary's children. Reid, John (I13124)
 
7199 This John Stewart is recorded in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Kilmahog Cemetery #25 as: "son John died (in) infancy." Stewart, John (I16244)
 
7200 This marriage and birth line is not certain, but there are too many coincident dates and names in the IGI to ignore the probability that Jean (aka Jane) Edgar's probable daugher, Agnes Weatherstone, married her cousin, David Ord. Edgar, Jean (I5471)
