| 7151 | 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 (I17725)
|
| 7152 | 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 (I17902)
|
| 7153 | 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 (I17942)
|
| 7154 | Walter was residing with his parents in 1851 and 1861. He died young. | Stewart, Walter (I17727)
|
| 7155 | 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 (I17946)
|
| 7156 | 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 (I17748)
|
| 7157 | 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 (I17750)
|
| 7158 | 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 (I24465)
|
| 7159 | 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 (I17708)

| 7168 | 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 (I21453)

|
| 7174 | We have absolutely no evidence that John Stewart in Brackland was a younger son of Patrick McAndrew Stewart of Blairgarry, except that he is a perfect chronological and onomastic match and fits with the seniority suggested in Stewarts of the South. We merely suggest that John MAY be the son of Patrick McAndrew. Research to verify this suggestion is ongoing. John is merely attached here tentatively for now as our "current best guess based on available evidence." The connection of Brackland to Blairgarry is definitely NOT proven. | Stewart, John? in Brackland (I16823)

|
| 7178 | We have no record of Hugh's birth to verify his date of birth. The date shown here is an estimate. However, the estimate has significant implications. Was Hugh born before or after 1712? Hugh Stewart is referred to in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) as "Hugh Stewart of Carse of Cambus, eldest son of John Stewart, and cousin-german of Archibald Stewart, second of Glassingall." He is also shown in several trees submitted in evidence as being the eldest son of John Stewart of Ballacauich and Lendrick, and being the older brother of Archibald Stewart of Lendrick. He is also shown as the father of James Stewart of Carse of Cambus. However, these trees cannot be trusted as entirely reliable as there was an enormous financial motive for bias in their drafting as whichever brother was eldest, his descendants would have a superior claim to inherit the estate of Glassingall. The submission of Robert Stewat of Ardvorlich is the sole dissenting account that claims that Hugh was the younger son and Archibald was the older son. Onomastics, chronology and estate ownership favour Ardvorlich's version that Hugh was the younger son. John would have named his eldest son after his own father, Archibald, and his second son after his wife's father, Hugh McFarlane. Archibald was married in 1739 whereas Hugh was not married until 1745. Archibald inherited Lendrick (believed to be the superior property) while Hugh inherited Ballacaish. While only circumstantial, these all suggest that Archibald was the older son. For Hugh to be the older son would require that John had an earlier son named Archibald who died in infancy and who (like Hugh) was not recorded, and that Hugh waited until his late 30s to get married, and that Ballacaish was actually the superior estate. The latter case is entirely possible and cannot be ruled out, however it seems to be the lesser likely. Thus, we show Hugh's birth as estimated to be after 1712 and we place him as the younger son. Furthermore, Stewarts of the South lists Donald Stewart of Lendrick (son of Archibald) ahead of this Hugh Stewart, further suggesting that the Lendrick family is senior to the Ballachaish family. Hugh is mentioned in the testimony of Robert Stewart in Buchany in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856): "Declared that he was personally acquainted with Alexander Stewart late tenant in Carse of Cambus who is now at Blairdrummond Moss and that he was also acquainted with his father James Stewart who was tenant in Carse of Cambus, and was buried in Kilmadock Churchyard in 1826. That he also knew John Stewart Merchant in Kippen, who was the brother of James last mentioned, and the father of Dr Stewart of Glasgow, and John Graham Stewart also in Glasgow. Declares that the father of John and James above mentioned was Hugh Stewart, who was first a tenant in Ballacaish, under Mr Stewart of Craigton, which adjoins Annat, and afterwards in Carse of Cambus, and that Hugh is also buried in Kilmadock Churchyard. That Hugh Stewart was first married to Margaret Buchanan, who was the mother of John Stewart in Kippen, and second to Janet [Duncandow] who was the mother of Janet Stewart in Carse of Cambus. That Hugh Stewart was son of John Stewart tenant first in Ballacaish aforesaid, and afterwards in Lendrick which was one of the forfeited farms on the Perth estate." "Hugh Stewart was first married to Margaret Buchanan, who was the mother of John Stewart in Kippen, and second to Janet [Duncandow] who was the mother of Janet Stewart in Carse of Cambus." Stewarts of the South, Ardvorlich Branch VIII, Line 4, gives this family as: "Hugh Stewart, uncle to the foregoing Donald Stewart, tacksman of the Carse of Camus, near Down (Doune) Lodge, Earl’s estate. Rent £100. He left five sons: a. James, a tenant there with one son. b. John, a merchant vintner and farmer in the village of Kippen, Stirlingshire. He has four sons: 1-4. One of them is a surgeon in Glasgow, and the rest are at home - not this one, a writer, the third is a merchant in Glasgow, and the fourth at home. (It is uncertain what the author means by “the rest are at home” as the third son is in Glasgow, not at home.) c. Alexander Stewart, a merchant in Glasgow with one son. d. Hugh Stewart, a wright in Glasgow with sons, but I am not certain of their number. e. Archibald, a wright in Stirling, with a family of sons, but of their number I am not certain." Hugh Stewart's testament 6 Feb 1773: "The Testament Dative and Inventory of the debts and sums of Hugh Stewart that pertained and were addebted to the deceased Hugh Stewart, tenant in Kerse of Cambus within the Parish of Kilmadock and Commissariat of Dunblane at the time of his decease which was upon the BLANK day of BLANK and BLANK years. Faithfully made and given up by Janet Duncanson the defuncts Relict which Janet Duncanson is deemed an only Executrix dative qua relict to the defunct by the said Commissariat on the fourth of February last and can act on Inventory nearest dative made the amount Bears. There were firstly adebted and vesting to the said defunct foresaid of his decease by the persons after named the sums of money following viz By Charles and John Stewart both in Milntown of Cambus jointly and severally thirteen pounds eight shillings Scotch whereof three pounds for a bedstead bought and received by them from the defunct about a year ago.

William Miller in Buchany seven pounds four shillings Scotch as the value of three bols of eaten oats by his [ ] in Harvest last; and by John Murdoch in Allans of Kirktown of Kilmadock [below Annat] two pounds Nine shillings and sixpence sterling for bear Confirmed 6th February, 1773, Duncan Ferguson, Wright in Callander, Cautioner." | Stewart, Hugh 2nd of Ballacaish and 1st of Carse of Cambus (I16064)
|
| 7179 | We have no record of Patrick Stewart's birth. He is estimated to have been born around 1500, but this is uncertain. It is presumed that he was born in Glen Buckie, likely in Dallanlaggan. Duncan Stewart (1739), says the following: "Patrick 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 maturity, but died himself without issue, only the eldest left a daughter. He had likewise three daughters, one married to Shaw of Cambusmoir, another to James Stewart, Ardvorlich's predecessor, and the third to Andrew, predecessor to Gartnafauaroe. This Patrick had moreover a natural son, Walter." This tells us that Patrick had twelve sons who died before their father and without children, with one exception: the eldest son who had a daughter. We know the identity of that son from an instrument of resignation of 15 October 1552, drawn up at Perth by Patrick Stewart of Glenbuckie and his wife Margaret Lekky, in favour of their son Robert Stewart and his spouse Katherine Kennedy. This tells us that the name of the only surviving lawful son was Robert. However, even Robert did not live long enough to inherit from his father. Duncan Stewart (1739) also tells us that the eldest son had a daughter about whom we know nothing more, nor do we know the name of her father, Patrick's eldest son. Further, Duncan Stewart (1739) mentions that Patrick had three daughters and an illegitimate son named Walter. The Stewarts of the South entry for Glenbuckie Branch X indicates that branch descends from "a natural son of the Glenbuckie with 12 sons", namely this Patrick Stewart. This would mean that Branch X must descend from Walter Stewart as the only known illegitimate son. A Bond of Manrent from 1586 to Duncan Campbell of Glenurquhay lists several Stewarts who were sons and grandsons of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbucke and his brother, Duncan Stewart, latterly 3rd of Glenbuckie. These include: Johne Dow Stewart, son to Patrk Stewart in Dallielaggane. (Naming custom would suggest that he is Patrick's eldest son.) James Stewart in Glenfinglas and his sons, John, Duncan and Alastair. Walter Stewart in Balliefoyille and his son, Robert. (see entry for Duncan Stewart, 3rd of Glenbuckie for the remainder.) Patrick inherited Glenbuckie from his father and then, despite the large size of his family, he himself died with no surviving lawful sons to pass the estate to. Glenbuckie then passed to Patrick's younger brother, Duncan. | Stewart, Patrick in Dallanlaggan 2nd of Glenbuckie (I17483)

| 7184 | When Elizabeth's full brother John Stewart, 13th of Glenbuckie, died she inherited Glenbuckie. According to Stewarts of the South, Betty married David Stewart of Craig Ruidh, Balquhidder of the Stewarts of Glenogle, Cloichglas, or Hyndfield, of the Gartnafuaran family. Thus David Stewart of Craig Ruidh became 14th of Glenbuckie. When Elizabeth died, Glenbuckie passed to her son, John Stewart, who became 15th of Glenbuckie. John is described in Stewarts of the South as a poor manager and a big spender and was at risk of spending the full worth of the estate. To protect herself against bankruptcy, Elizabeth bound herself to several tutors including her half-brother, Capt. Duncan Stewart. On Elizabeth's death when the estate passed fully into John's care, Meanwhile, Dr. David Stewart in Auchnahard, son of Alexander Stewart, 10th of Glenbuckie, attempted unsuccessfully to reclaim Glenbuckie. So reviled was Elizabeth for her part in swindling the estate of Glenbuckie away from its rightful heirs that the author of Stewarts of the South described her as "a daughter named Betty, a half idiot, [who] succeed her brother in the estate being heir-at-law" and later in the document could only bring himself to refer to her as "a lady of the name of Stewart in our country, whose name I shall not mention here." Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "Elizabeth Stewart of Glenbuckie, succeeded her brother John on his death and was served heir to him in the lands of Glenbuckie on 17 February 1768. She married David Stewart of Craigruaidh." MacGregor also shows only one marriage for David Stewart of Craigrui and shows Grisel and Elizabeth Stewart as the same person. | Stewart, Elizabeth Heiress of Glenbuckie (I15608)

| 7185 | When he was younger he worked as a detail auto painter for the Ford Motor Company. He was apparently a fine artist and a jack of all trades. He could also sew and made slippers and shoes from leather. It would appear he continued the family trade of leather work. He was also a singer, a fiddler, and a square-dance caller. In his later years he worked as a custodian at Belle Isle School then Gordon MacGregor School, both in Windsor. | Cuthbert, John Alexander (I3422)

|
| 7187 | While Duncan later referred to himself in America as Duncan Sr. to differentiate himself from his son, Duncan Jr., he was actually Duncan III when accounting for the previous Scottish generations. While Duncan later referred to himself in America as "Duncan Sr." to differentiate himself from his son, Duncan Jr., he was actually Duncan III when accounting for the previous Scottish generations. Duncan later became a prosperous businessman in Detroit, Michigan, USA. It's possible that he was completely self-made, but it seems more likely that he may have inherited the residue of the former Tulloch family estate. To Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada Sometime prior to 1838, Duncan Stewart immigrated to Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada, where his distant cousin Duncan Stewart Jr., in Kirkline & St. Anicet, son of Duncan Stewart, Sr. in Clachglass (3-Line of the Stewarts in Tulloch, shown below) had been living since 1818. It is suspected that (this) Duncan's uncle, James Stewart, who "went to America" had also immigrated to Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada in 1818. Duncan's later obituary indicates that he served as a Captain in the Canadian Rebellion of 1838. It does not indicate which side he fought for. In 1843, Duncan Stewart married in Valleyfield, Quebec, Canada, to Jane Bell. The marriage register says they were living in Huntingdon, Quebec at the time. To Stratford, Perth, Ontario, Canada After their marriage, Duncan Stewart and Jane Bell moved to Stratford, Perth, Ontario, Canada where was a substantial new settlement of Scottish immigrants in nearby North Easthope including another Stewart family who descended from the Stewarts of Ardvorlich who had also come by way of Huntingdon, Quebec. It's possible that they travelled together. It was in Stratford that Duncan and Jane's first documented son, James, was born in 1845. It is suspected that James may have been named after his Duncan's uncle, James Stewart, who "went to America" about 1818 (prior to the authoring of Stewarts of the South.) To Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA In 1845, Duncan immigrated to Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA, where he became a highly successful and prosperous merchant. In 1850, at age 31, Duncan Stewart was residing in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA with his wife and son, James. He was employed as a labourer. Given the two year gap (1843-1845) between Duncan and Jane's marriage and the birth of their first documented child, James, and the five year gap (1845-1850) between the birth of James and their appearance in the 1850 census, it's possible, if not likely, that Duncan and Jane had other children born during these gap years whose names are not recorded and who did not survive. Duncan Stewart was a prominent member of Fort Street Presbyterian Church, founded in 1849. He helped fund the cost of the construction of the new sanctuary in 1855. "When first constructed, Fort Street Presbyterian Church sat in the middle of a wealthy neighborhood where many leaders of industry lived. These leaders envisioned a Protestant church with a congregation that looked a lot like them." (https://www.fortstreet.org/history) In 1860, at age 40, Duncan Stewart was residing in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA with his wife and children. He was employed as a corn(?) merchant. (It may also read "cow, coin, or com" merchant. Corn is preferred as his brother John was a grain merchant.) He is recorded as owning $10,000 in real estate and $5,000 in personal estate. (Equivalent to about $600,000 in 2024.) He had two household servants. Residing next door was his 27-year-old brother, John Stewart, a clerk, and his family. In 1863, at age 44, Duncan is listed in U.S. Civil War Draft Registration as being a corn (or cow) merchant in Detroit, Michigan, USA. In 1870, at age 50, Duncan Stewart was residing in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA, with his wife and children. He was employed as a "commission man." In 1873, there was an economic panic in the US, the UK and Europe, leading to a massive depression. In response, Duncan Stewart closed his business and retired. In 1880, at age 60, Duncan Stewart was residing on Turnbull Ave in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA, with his wife and three of his adult children. He is listed as a retired merchant. Sometime after 1880 Duncan Stewart returned to Fintry, Scotland to erect a gravestone for his parents in Fintry cemetery. Duncan Stewart died in 1897 in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA. Obituary: By the death of Duncan Stewart, this city loses one of its faithful, old-time citizens, who twenty five years ago occupied the foremost rank among Detroit's enterprising public spirited men. Since business disasters came upon him in the panic times of 1873, Mr. Stewart has lived in compariative retirement. His death will now recall to the otlder citizens the sturdy character and honest worth of this Scotch-American who for over twenty years was so hoorably identified with the best life of this city. While the younger generation that has grown into manhood since the days of his activity may know nothing of this genial gentleman, the older residents who can look back to the days of "Auld Lang Syne," still have a warm place in their hearts for Duncan Stewart, and will be grieved to learn of his death. The newspaper article about his son James' ethereal experience around the death of his father, refers to Duncan Stewart as "Capt. Stewart." | Stewart, Capt. Duncan Sr (I26347)

| 7188 | While her older sisters were born in India, census records indicate that Helen was born in Scotland. In 1881, she was residing with her aunt Charlotte Roberts nee Stewart in Kensington, England along with her sisters, Lilian and Ethel and her cousin Eva, under the care of a governess. | Stewart, Helen Lucy (I15657)

| 7189 | While the rest of her siblings were all born in either Lancaster or Manchester, Lancashire, England, Elizabeth Angus was born 5 Oct 1869 in Kirkaldy, Fifeshire, Scotland. Her birth was also registered in Lancaster, Lancashire, England, a year later on 5 Oct 1870. Baptismal records and later census records confirm that this anomaly is accurate. It's possible that this location may be a clue to the Angus family's original origin, but the passage of 150 years in Lancashire may mean it's just a coincidence. In 1871, at age 1, Elizabeth Angus was residing at 5 Bridge Lane in Castle Ward, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with her parents and siblings.

| 7190 | While we have no record directly referring to John as John Dubh Stewart, his grandson's byname, Mceandowie ("son/descendant of Iain Dubh/Black John") indicates that John was referred to as Dubh. John is believed to be the John Stewart in Portre (Portnellan) in "1620, 6th July, RPC vol. XII, p.317 - Commissioned by Lord Hay with Johnne Stewart in Portre and Johnne and Alexander Stewart in Glenfinglas to apprehend and try Johnne Roy McDuff in Rannache for stealing under cloud and silence of night 4ky and ane meir pertaining to Donald McEanlay (McKinley) in Dulater." However, he would have been about 80 years old at the time. Thus, Johnne and Alexander in Glen Finglas likely carried out th commission. Duncan Stewart (1739) says: "His predecessor was John, brother to Alexander of Ardvorlich and son to James, son of Walter Stewart of Baldorran.This John's son was Alexander." According to The Kennedy-Annat Tree, John was born in 1540 and died in 1600. The reliability of these dates is not known. but seems to contradict Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions. According to Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions, there is a stone in Kilmadock cemetery situated amidst the other Stewarts of Annat stones, being the oldest one, which reads, "1614. JS MH// HS." It seems likely this refers to this John dying in 1614 and that his wife's initials were MH. The HS is on a second line and may indicate a child's name. | Stewart, John 1st of Portnellan (I16671)

Widow, hereby revoking all former wills or other testamentary depositions at any time heretofore made by me.

J Sydney Bright, Solicitor, Portadown John Wright. ------------------------------- Wright is the surname of the Helen McCleary's grandparents from Portadown. No record has been found of a son named William James Brown, though she did have a son-in-law named William James Brown who resided in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada nearby to her son, John Brown. It's possible she meant son-in-law, but then she distinguished daughter-in-law when referring to Margaret. But, she was quite elderly and unable to write at the time of her death, so it's possible she was inaccurate with the use of the term "son" as she was with the term "America." Ruth Brown's daughter-in-law, Margaret Brown, was widow of Thomas Brown, son of Ruth and Robert Brown. Margaret was born Margaret Steenson, daughter of Armagh Marriage Register lists a Ruth Smith marrying Edward Steenson in 1837, two years before Robert Brown. | Smith, Ruth (I1900)
