| 7301 | Thomas Harkins was born in Donegal, Ireland. He was a farmer and Anglican. | Harkins, Thomas (I25675)
|
| 7302 | Thomas has not been found in any census records. He was recorded as deceased in his mother's death registration in 1855 and is presumed to have died prior to the first census in 1841. | Stewart, Thomas (I17567)
|
| 7303 | Thomas Hulme Taylor, son of Captain William Taylor, inherited his father's flour and saw mills in Dawn Mills. To these he added, almost immediately, a wool factory. As owner of the flour, wool, and saw mills, and part-owner of the general store Thomas Taylor was an important figure in the Dawn Mills community. When the Great Western Railway was coming through, he campaigned unsuccessfully to have it come through Dawn Mills; instead, in 1854, the railroad went to the nearby town of Chatham. Business in Dawn Mills began to migrate to Chatham. Because of his family's founding history in Dawn Mills, Thomas Taylor was reluctant to move his business interests to Chatham. When his mother died in 1858 that seemed to free him to leave Dawn Mills and move to Chatham where the Taylor Mills Company remained in the family serving Kent County until well into the mid-20th century. When Taylor moved to Chatham he sold one of his mills to Alexander McVean who moved the mill to nearby Dresden. (c.f. Alexander McVean's lineage for a later marital connection to Taylor's sister, Alice Prangley, and for a surprising connection to this author four generations later.) Regrettably, Taylor's departure from Dawn Mills dealt a permanent economic blow to that once thriving village. Today the village of Dawn Mills no longer exists except as a dot on the map, a few houses, and the remnants of three dams where the mills once stood. In Chatham "T.H. Taylor & Co. operated on William Street just north of the Taylor-Richards flour mills, their Chatham Woollen Mills, established in 1869. Capital was about $60,000, the plant employing some 30 hands and consuming annually about 50,000 pounds of wool." (Romantic Kent, p.522) "The floating logs (on the Thames River)... formed a passageway over the rainbow-hued waters. The varied colors periodically tinging the creek came from the T.H. Taylor curing mill and dyeing works just around the creek bend, where blankets and many varieties of coating material were woven. Products of the Taylor Mill, then one of Chatham's foremost industries, were widely known for quality; Detroiters visiting Chatham on the excursion boats were extensive purchasers." (Romantic Kent, p.529) | Taylor, Thomas Hulme (I18562)
|
| 7304 | Thomas is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Thomas who died young also." | Stewart, Thomas (I17566)
|
| 7305 | Thomas is found residing in 1841 with his parents and younger siblings. On 23 May 1842, Thomas was convicted of larceny and sentenced to 12 months in prison. A matching Thomas Liptrot, born1815 in Bolton, Lancashire, England, can be found in 1851 residing in Tonge with Haulgh, Lancashire, England, employed as a carder, with a wife, Alice, and children Elizabeth, Sarah Ann, and Mary Jane. It is not known if it is this same Thomas Liptrot. This Thomas is shown in a marriage record as being married to Alice Marsh and was son of Robert Liptrot, so not the same person | Liptrot, Thomas (I9005)
|
| 7306 | Thomas is identified in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) only as "Thomas Smith of Edinburgh" who married on 12 July 1761 in Edinburgh to Helen Jaffrey. Nothing more is known of him. | Smith, Thomas Sr. Merchant in Edinburgh (I21094)
|
| 7307 | Thomas is not listed on the family stone in Kilmahog Cemetery and may have emigrated. | Stewart, Thomas (I17563)
|
| 7308 | Thomas is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South and is presumed to have died young. | Stewart, Thomas (I17561)
|
| 7309 | Thomas is not recalled by Janet nor is he found with the family in the 1881 census so he is presumed to have died as a child. | Hunter, Thomas (I7910)
|
| 7310 | Thomas is presumed to have died young before the birth of his same-named brother. | Chew, Thomas (I2448)
|
| 7311 | Thomas is recorded in Stewarts of the South as being unmarried ca. 1815-1820. He is believed to be the Thomas Stewart found residing at Bridge End of Callander in 1851 working as a mason, with no family and shown as born 1793. However he is only three years different in age from his cousin Thomas Stewart, b 1795, so the possibility exists that it could be the other Thomas. Thomas died in Callander in 1856 and is buried in Kilmahog. His death was witnessed by his nephew, Robert McLaren, which would further suggest that Thomas never married nor had any children. | Stewart, Thomas (I17562)
|
| 7312 | Thomas is wrongly recorded in 1871 as a "son in law" of John Gow. | Gow, Thomas (I6996)
|
| 7313 | Thomas Liptrot arrived in 1913 with his his two sons, Thomas and Walter, and his brother-in-law, Richard (Dick) Jones, and Dick's daughter, Sarah Jones. It is presumed that their wives arrived at another time. After arrival, Thomas worked for his brother-in-law, Dick, as an apprentice bricklayer. He then went to work for Procter & Gamble as a bricklayer. [It appears there are two Thomas Liptrots from Bolton, England, who both married Elizabeths, and both couples emigrated from Bolton to Hamilton, ON around the same year. The other Thomas Liptrot was a newsworthy competitive cyclist.] | Liptrot, Thomas Crook (I9006)
|
| 7314 | Thomas Lowther Angus was born in 1900 in Halton, Lancashire, England. His middle name comes from his paternal grandmother's surname. In 1901, at age 9 months, Thomas Angus was residing in Caton, Halton, Lancashire, England with his parents and siblings. In 1911, at age 10, Thomas Angus was residing at Church Street in Halton, Lancaster, England, with his parents and siblings. On 6 May 1912 Thomas Angus, along with his birth family, immigrated from Lancashire, England to Quebec, Canada, bound for Michigan, USA. On 27 Apr 1912, at age 11, Thomas Angus, along with his family, immigrated from Lancashire, England to Quebec, Canada, bound for Michigan, USA. They were travelling with his uncle, William Angus, and his family. The family originally had tickets to sale on the Titanic on April 10, 1912, but (for reasons unknown) ended up sailing on the next ship, The Megantic. The Titanic sank on 14 Apr 1912, four days into its journey. In 1920, at age 19, Thomas L Angus was residing in Burton, Genesee, Michigan, USA, with his parents and siblings. He was employed as a farm labourer on his father's rented farm. On 25 Feb 1922, at age 21, Thomas Lowther Angus married in Flint, Genesee, Michigan, USA, to 19-year-old Opal Fern Young. They had three children then divorced 8 years later. In 1930, at age 29, Thomas Angus was residing in Millington, Tuscola, Michigan, USA, with his wife Fern and their children. He was employed as a tool setter in an auto factory. They were residing with her parents. On 11 Dec 1930, at age 30, Thomas Angus divorced his wife Opal. The children remained with him as they are found residing with Thomas in the next census in 1940. On 16 Apr 1932, at age 31, just 16 months after his divorce, Thomas L Angus married in Flint, Genesee, Michigan, USA to 25-year-old divorcee, Lucille Josephine Shaver (nee Taylor). They had two children then divorced 13 years later. (As Lucille's maiden name, Taylor, is the same as Thomas' mother's maiden name, it's not known if his new wife was also a cousin. That potential connection has not been researched.) In 1940, at age 39, Thomas Angus was residing on Montana Avenue in Flint, Genesee, Michigan, USA with his second wife and his children from both marriages. He was employed as a tool set up in an automobile factory. On 18 Apr 1945, at age 44, Thomas Angus divorced his second wife, Lucille. He never remarried. She married again in 1948 to Clive Mayle. The custody situation of the children is unknown as they were all residing with their spouses by the next census in 1950 In 1950, at age 50, Thomas Angus was residing in Flint, Genesee, Michigan, USA, with his elderly parents. None of his children were with him. He was employed as a stock handler in the automotive industry, earning $3200/year. Thomas' later whereabouts is unknown. No record has been found of his death. | Angus, Thomas Lowther (I348)
|
| 7315 | Thomas may have been born b 20 FEB 1802 in Barony, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland, son of Andrew Stewart and Elspeth Oliver. It is a perfect onomastic match and the family of James Oliver (age 33 from Scotland) was residing nearby in 1851. On 3 May 1829, Thomas married in St. Ninian's, Stirling, Scotland, to Hannah Smith. In 1851, Thomas was residing in North Dumfries, Brant, Ontario, Canada with his wife and children. He was a farmer and an Anti-Burgher Presbyterian. | Stewart, Thomas (I22495)
|
| 7316 | Thomas Oliphant was Constable of Edinburgh Castle. He was married twice and it is unclear which wife is the mother of which children. | Oliphant, Thomas (I11864)
|
| 7317 | Thomas Rock's origins are presently unknown. He married Mary Lutes in 1820 in the Niagara area. Based on the known birth information of the children, it is presumed that the family first lived in Pelham, Niagara and later moved to Townsend in Haldimand County. | Rock, Thomas (I13631)
|
| 7318 | Thomas served as a Private in the 120th Battalion in WWI. He rose to the rank of Lieutenant Corporal. At the time of his enlistment, on 20 Dec 1915, he was residing at 132 Birch Ave., Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada and employed as a machinist. His next of kin was listed as his father, Thomas Angus. On 10 Aug 1916, he was transferred to England. On 18 April 1917, he was sent to Amiens, France. On 9 Aug 1918, he was wounded in combat, receiving a through and through gunshot wound to his right buttocks. He was treated at a field hospital in Amiens, the transferred on 11 Aug 1918 to a hospital in Rouen, France, for surgery to remove the bullet. The surgery was unsuccessful because there was no bullet to remove. (Hence the injury being recorded as "through and through.") On 16 Aug 1918, he was transferred to Bristol Hospital, Bristol, England. He was discharged a month later. Subsequent x-rays showed the bullet still inside. On 12 Sept 1918, he was transferred to a Canadian military hospital in Oprington (London), England. On 15 Oct 1918, he was declared healed and recommended for return to the command depot. He was honourably discharged on 11 Jan 1919. He was paid $15/month for his service. Thomas and Rose lived in Hamilton. Thomas died at age 33 from pneumonia. They never had any children. Rose lived alone as a widow for the remaining 58 years of her life. | Angus, L. Cpl. Thomas Wilkinson (I308)
|
| 7319 | Thomas Stewart married his first cousin, Christina Stewart. His father and her mother were brother and sister. But they were also second-cousins on his paternal grandmother's side and third-cousins on his paternal great-grandfather's side. They were also fourth-cousins on her mother's side and his father's side. It's a good thing they never had children. Their autosomal DNA results would have been a nightmare to sort out. This is an extreme example of endogamous community life. | Stewart, Thomas (I17564)
|
| 7320 | Thomas Stewart was born 29 Jun 1852 in Little Bultruich, Kilmaronock, Dunbartonshire, Scotland, as the second son of Walter Stewart and Mary Phillips. Little is known of Thomas Stewart. He never married nor had children and worked at various labour jobs for his life. In 1861, at age 8, Thomas Stewart was residing at Boghead in Kilmaronoch, Dunbartonshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings. He was listed as a student. In 1871, at age 18, Thomas Stewart was residing far to the south at Brisburn Manes Brisburn Glen in Largs, Ayrshire, Scotland, in the home of Andrew Clark. He was employed as a shepherd. In 1881, at age 34 (sic, 28), he is believed to be the Thomas Stewart residing in Old Kilpatrick parish, Dunbartonshire, Scotland in the home of Robert Paterson where he was employed as a farm labourer. Due to the apparent error in the recording of his age in the census it is not certain that this is the correct Thomas Stewart, however no other Thomas Stewart born in Kilmaronock in the same age range has been found elsewhere in the 1881 census for Scotland. In 1891, at age 37, Thomas Stewart was lodging at 20 Ronald Street in the Barony district of Glasgow City, Lanarkshire, Scotland, in the home of Alexander McFarlane, where he was employed as a carter. On 1 Feb 1901, Thomas Stewart was the informant on the death registration of his father. In 1901, at age 47, Thomas Stewart was lodging at 80 Eveline Street in the Dennistoun district of Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, in the home of Alexander Montgomery, where he was employed as a potato salesman. Thomas Stewart died on 13 Jan 1938 in Bishopbriggs, Lanarkshire, Scotland. | Stewart, Thomas (I27709)
|
| 7321 | Thomas Stuart Smith was a Scottish painter whose colourful life story provided the inspiration for the fictional character of Davie Balfour of Shaws in Robert Louis Stevenson's novels, Kidnapped and Catriona. He was the illegitimate son of Thomas Smith, whose brother, Alexander Smith, was the last in the Stewart line to own the estate of Glassingall. When Alexander died intestate, Thomas Stuart Smith, was ultimately the successful of 18 claimants vying for the inheritance of the estate. He later sold Glassingall and used the money to support his art and to later establish the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum in Stirling, Scotland. His paintings were significant for the era in portraying black persons as free and independent people during a time when slavery and abolition were hotly contested issues. -------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Stuart_Smith Life Thomas Stuart Smith was born in 1815 as the secret illegitimate nephew of Alexander Smith, who had the estate at Glassingall, Dunblane, Scotland. Alexander's brother, the father, sent Thomas to a school in France whilst he conducted his business in Canada and the East Indies. In 1831 no fees were paid and Thomas thought his father must have died. He returned to England, when he and his uncle learned of each other for the first time. They did not meet, but Alexander advanced sums to him from time to time. Smith started working as a tutor. He later became interested in painting from an Italian master painter whom he met whilst serving as a traveling tutor to a British family. His uncle Alexander supplied funding so that he could travel and paint in Italy starting in 1840. By the end of that decade, Smith was having his work accepted by both the Salon des Beaux Arts in Paris and the Royal Academy in London. His first painting at the Royal Academy was bought by Professor Owen, an acquaintance of Edwin Landseer, who was said to have admired it repeatedly. Inheritance In 1849 Alexander Smith died intestate. Thomas took possession of the family's estate in 1857 after vying at great expense with eighteen other aspirants. During the eight years that he had waited in hope of his inheritance, he taught art at the Nottingham School of Design. James Orrock, the collecter and watercoulourist, was one of his pupils; he commented on how Smith could paint anything. Smith was known to the Barbizon School of realistic painting, including the animal painters Constant Troyon and John Phillip RA. Having gained the estate, he kept it just six years. He sold it and used the funds to move to London. His legal costs had been high. His new fortune enabled him to create an art collection at a studio in Fitzroy Square that included his own work. He decided to create an Institute in Stirling to house his new collection. He drew up plans for a library, museum, and a reading room and he offered £5,000 to the council if they could donate a site within two years. He signed the trust into existence in November 1869 with himself, James Barty, the Provost of Stirling and A.W.Cox, a fellow artist, as trustees. He did not see his plans fulfilled as he died the next month in Avignon. Legacy Smith is known primarily for founding the Smith Institute, which is now called the Stirling Smith Museum and Art Gallery. Smith also has hundreds of paintings in public ownership. Two of Smith's works that are still thought to be important are portraits he painted of black men. Unlike other depictions at the time, in which black people were included as servants, Smith's portraits Fellah of Kinneh and The Pipe of Freedom show his subjects as independent and free; they were painted to celebrate the abolition of slavery in America in 1865 following the American Civil War. He also did a smaller painting called The Cuban Cigarette, which has a similar presence. The Pipe of Freedom shows a man lighting a pipe; behind him a slave sale notice has been partially covered by an abolition notice. --------------- http://www.smithartgalleryandmuseum.co.uk/history/our-history/thomas-stuart-smith Thomas Stuart Smith was a man of fluctuating fortune with a colourful history who became an artist of considerable accomplishment, widely admired by his fellow artists. His grandmother was one of the Jaffray family in Stirling. The family story was that Thomas’s father and uncle were in love with the same woman, had a disagreement over her and parted. Thomas was illegitimate and his mother died when he was young. His father, a merchant working in Canada and the West Indies, sent the young Thomas to school in France. When the school fees failed to arrive in 1831, Thomas deduced that his father was dead. Thomas and his uncle Alexander Smith who held the estate of Glassingall, Dunblane were shocked to hear of each other’s existence. Alexander Smith, although he never met his newly discovered nephew, provided some financial support for him from time to time. Thomas Stuart Smith obtained a post as a tutor to a young noble man, travelling with the family to Naples, where he obtained for himself some tuition in painting from a master painter “Marsigli, the first painter here and one of the first in Italy”. In 1840 Thomas made “my first attempt at landscape and my first oil picture”. He was funded by his uncle to study and paint in various places in Italy in the 1840s, and by 1849 was exhibiting both at the Salon des Beaux Arts in Paris and the Royal Academy in London. In that year, Alexander Smith died leaving no direct family and no will. Although he had been Thomas Stuart Smith’s main financial support, there was difficulty in proving their relationship, and eighteen people pursued claims on the Glassingall estate. It took Smith from 1849 to January 1857 to secure the inheritance of Glassingall. The estate was much diminished through the demands of legal fees, and Smith missed the warmth and light of the continent. In 1863 he sold the estate, rented a studio at Fitzroy Square in London and began to build up his own art collection, purchasing from his contemporaries both in Britain and in Europe. With no need to sell his own work, he liked the idea of building an Institute which would house it and his general collection for ‘the welfare of the town and district of Stirling in Scotland’. He drew up a ‘Trust Disposition and Settlement’ for the building of a ‘Museum or Institute’ in Stirling, agreeing to provide £5000 for the building if the town provided a site for it within two years. He had a very specific idea of how the building should be composed of three principal rooms of offices and store rooms, with space left on either side for contingent additions. The style of the building to be plain (Italian), but of first-rate material and construction - the three rooms to be a Museum, a Picture Gallery and a Library and Reading Room, adapted for the benefit of the artisan and working classes. He intended to oversee the construction himself. The Trust Disposition, naming his fellow artist A. W. Cox, his solicitor James Barty and the Provost of Stirling as Trustees was signed in November 1869. On 31 December he died unexpectedly at Avignon in the south of France. T. S. Smith was something of an artist’s artist. Having had to struggle to study and practice his art, he had great sympathy for others in the same position,and frequently helped others. The first picture he exhibited in the Royal Academy was a painting of two young artists asking for shelter at the door of a convent in Italy. It was bought by Professor Owen, who had it hanging in his London house. According to Sir William Stirling Maxwell, 'The late Sir Edwin Landseer was struck by it and never visited Professor Owen without taking it down from the wall and examining it with some new expression at the masterly qualities which it exhibited.' Smith was accomplished in landscape, interiors and excelled in portrait painting too. Whilst pursuing his claim to the Glassingall estate, he lived as an art teacher and portrait painter in Nottingham for a time. One of his pupils, James Orrock (1829-1913) recalled his work with delight and remembered him as ‘a man who could paint anything’, who was a close friend of John Phillip RA, and who knew Troyon and most of the other masters of the Barbizon School. Phillip regarded Smith as ‘one of the best living colourists’. In the last year of his life, Smith submitted two remarkable portraits to the Royal Academy. Both were of black men of African origin. The Fellah of Kinneh depicts a young man in striped robes. The Pipe of Freedom celebrates the abolition of slavery in America. A smaller study of the same man, The Cuban Cigarette, shows the subject in profile. In subject and presentation, these portraits are quite rare in Scottish painting, and were given pride of place in the Africa in Scotland exhibition in Edinburgh in 1996. They also featured in the Black Victorians exhibition in Birmingham in 2005 and in Manchester in 2006. Black people were sometimes included in paintings. The Lost Child Restored by Sir George Harvey in the Smith’s own collection, where the negro servant is depicted in the doorway is a good example of an incidental inclusion. In Smith’s paintings of black men, the subjects are central, handsome, proud, independent and free. With fellow landowners in the Stirling area managing estates in Jamaica, such paintings would not have been popular. However, another member of the Jaffray family, ‘Citizen’ William Jaffray (1749-1828) had attained local fame through assisting a female slave on the way back to the West Indies to abscond and claim her freedom. His national fame was won through vaccinating some 16,000 children and saving Stirling from the small pox epidemics which raged elsewhere. The work of T. S. Smith is often overlooked or under valued in Scottish art history. This is because the history is largely market-related. Smith had no need to paint for the board room or the market; his paintings were garnered for Stirling. He wanted his paintings to survive in a single collection, and bought back earlier works for that purpose when he was able to do so. | Smith, Thomas Stuart of Glassingall (I22062)

| 7322 | Thomas succeeded to the lands of Grandtully upon the resignation of his father on 14 March 1538. (Gordon MacGregor, Red Book of Scotland) | Stewart, Sir Thomas 6th of Grandtully (I17733)
|
| 7323 | Thomas was born in 1899 in Lancaster, Lancashire, England. In 1901, at age 1, Thomas was residing at 6 Albion Street, Bulk Ward, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his parents and siblings. In 1911, at age 11, Thomas was residing at 6 Albion Street, Bulk Ward, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his parents and siblings. On 27 Aug 1921, at age 22, Thomas Angus, an iron turner, son of Charles Angus, a blacksmith, married in Bradford, Lancashire, England to Cecilia Price, age 23, a machinist, daughter of George Price, a clerk. In 1939, Thomas Angus was residing at 371 Manchester Road in Audenshaw, Lancashire, England, with his wife and daughter. He was employed as a sick berth attendant on the HMS Drake. | Angus, Thomas (I305)
|
| 7324 | Thomas was residing with his parents in Detroit in 1920. He has not been found in 1930. | Brown, Thomas James (I1885)
|
| 7325 | Thomas was retoured heir to his father in the lands of Banchory on 13 March 1488. (Gordon MacGregor, Red Book of Scotland) | Stewart, Thomas 4th of Grantully (I17732)
|
| 7326 | Thomas' birth and death dates are found on the family gravestone in Tandragee. His death registration in Banbridge is attached. His marriage was registered on 14 Sep 1877 in Dungannon parish, County Tyrone. Thomas is shown as a baker, age 22 (b 1855, which contradicts the gravetone and the death registration) as son of Robert Brown, from Tandragee. He married 19 year old Margaret Steenson, daughter of Andrew Steenson, from Kilnaslee Townland, County Tyrone. They were married in Carland Presbyterian Church, Donaghmore parish, County Tyrone. The marriage was witnessed by James Robinson, on the groom's side, and George Gracey on the bride's side. Ruth Brown's will indicates that she had a surviving daughter-in-law, Margaret Brown, in Portadown, Armagh, Northern Ireland. The 1901 census indicates that Margaret was born in County Tyrone in 1856, and that she was a widow in 1901. | Brown, Thomas (I1883)
|
| 7327 | Thomas' birth record has not been identified. He was the eldest son of Thomas Smith and Helen Jaffrey, Heiress of Glassingall. As the eldest son, he should have inherited Glassingall from his mother, however the estate went to his younger brother, Alexander, instead. Allegedly, Thomas and Alexander fell in love with the same woman and struck a deal whereby Thomas relinquished his rightful interest in the estate of Glassingall in exchange for Alexander withdrawing his love-interest in the woman. Her name is lost to history. Their alleged real-life love-triangle provided some of the inspiration for author Robert Louis Stevenson for the story in his novels, Kidnapped and Catriona, in which Thomas Smith is portrayed as the deceased character of Alexander Balfour of Shaws, father to the central character of Davie Balfour. The fictional estate of Shaws is based on the real-life estate of Glassingall. Thomas Smith was one of the founders of the Canada Company with John Galt and other investors in Canada and the UK. It was established to acquire and develop Upper Canada's undeveloped clergy reserve and Crown reserve lands and to redistribute them to immigrant settlers at a profit to the company. Galt was the original superintendant, but quickly found himself in trouble. When Galt was accused of gross mismanagement in 1829, Thomas Smith was sent to Canada to review Galt's books and business practices. This resulted in Galt's dismissal from the company. Smith also uncovered disreputable investment practices on the part of several Canadian investors who were among a group of powerful elites known collectively known as "The Family Compact." Upon discovering these illegalities, Smith found himself on the wrong side of power and was fired. After losing his job with the Canada Company, he travelled to the USA and later to Cuba where he is believed to have died in a shipwreck offshore on route to India in 1829. He fathered an illegitimate son, Thomas Stuart Smith who went on to become a respected painter and founder of the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum in Stirling, Scotland. Thomas is mentioned in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856), as "Thomas Smith, who previous to leaving for India on his passage to which he died unmarried, conveyed his joint interest to his brother, Alexander." | Smith, Thomas Jr. (I21274)
|
| 7328 | Thomas' birthplace is recorded as "Townsend". I believe this refers to the present day "Townsend Centre", as according to current maps the village of Townsend is only 30 years old. Townsend is near the town of Jarvis whereas Townsend Centre is closer to the town of Waterford. In 1901 he is found living in Oakland Township, Oxford County (later Brant County), two doors away from his brother Daniel. Incorrectly recorded in the 1881 IGI census transcriptsion as being of Scottish origin. | Swears, Thomas Arthur (I18372)
|
| 7329 | Thompson moved from Nassagaweya in Halton County, Ontario to Fergus in Wellington County, Ontario in 1842 when Thompson was 14 years of age. This is the same year that his father died, so it is presumed that Thompson's mother and many of the other siblings of Thompson probably also moved to Fergus. Thompson worked for Argo and William Patterson as a clerk for nine years. In 1866 he went into business for himself as a store owner. "The family lived in a little stone cottage in Fergus and operated the store on the main street for 18 years. Then as the family were growing and needing more space, Thompson bought the Fergusson farm adjoining Fergus, which became known as Westwood Farm. They worked the farm for two years, built the lovely stone house on the property, making what was little better than wasteland into a productive and beautiful home." (Sherwood biography by Jean Taylor, unknown source. Not an exact quote present here -- grammar corrected.) | Sherwood, Thompson (I13577)

| 7330 | Thor was driven out of England by the Normans. He fled to Scotland where he was welcomed by King Malcolm Canmore. | Leofwinson, Thorlongus (I8647)
|
| 7331 | Thoraldus is claimed by Stirling descendants to be one of the nobles brought north from England by King David I of Scotland. He was made Vicecomes (Viscount) of Strivelyn, later known as Stirling. For the next few generations of descent I follow Stirnet. However, a look at the estimated dates indicates that there are clearly some generations missing. The descent does not become certain until John De Strivelyn of Carse and Alva on one branch and Lucas De Strivelyn of Rathern on the other. For the ancestry of Thoraldus I follow ClanStirling.org. However they indicate an erroneous connection to the Royal Stewarts through Eve, sister of this Thoraldus and apparently wife of Alan Fitz-Walter, 1st High Steward of Scotland. ClanStirling claims that the later Stewarts came from this marriage. However Stewart sources indicate this to be doubly wrong. Alan Fitz-Walter may have married a woman named Eve however she was not the mother of his children, nor was she the same person as the sister of Thoraldus. | de Strivelyn, Thoraldus (I4539)
|
| 7332 | Thored may be confused with Aethelbert of York. | Gunnarsson, Thored (I7403)
|
| 7333 | though notes indicate she moved to Grimsby sometime after 1918, Jackie Brown recalls her Aunt Maggie living on Hamilton Beach when Jackie was younger. | Duncan, Margaret Harton (I5244)
|
| 7334 | Three of John's children were born in Comrie, but his son John was born in Monzie, which is about a mile NE of Crieff. No satisfactory birth record can be found for John McNachton in Perthshire. Another researcher of this family claims John was born in Dalchonzie, Argyll, but I have no confirmation on this. | McNaughtan, John (I10187)
|
| 7335 | Three possible births have been identified for this Alexander ranging from 1712-1719 all with John as a father, but none with Robert as a father. The first son shown below could be from a different family -- it's hard to tell. It's also possible that Alexander was "out" in The '45 which would explain the seven year gap between the first and second children. That no marriage record can be found hampers our ability to determine if John Stewart 1743 belongs to this family or another. Possible birth: Alexander STEWART, b/b 1/3 APR 1712 in Drumarsock, s/o John STEWART and Mary STEWART Alexander STEWART, b/b 26/31 DEC 1716 in Ardcheanochdan, s/o John STEWART and Janet STEWART Alexander STEWART, b/b 13/16 FEB 1719 in Milntown of Strathgartney, s/o John STEWART and Jean BUCHANAN | Stewart, Alexander 3rd in Grodich (I14632)

| 7339 | Tom married his cousin, Cora Hook. They had no children. His age is according to Nelker, but seems chronologically challenging as his mother would have been 54 when he was born. It seems more likely that he is a grandchild of this family misaccounted for by Nelker. | Steuart, Charles Thomas (I21687)

| 7345 | Tradition tells us that in 1445, while returning to his seat at Dunstaffnage castle from the great cattle tryst at Crieff, Sir John met and fell in love with the daughter of MacLaren of Ardveich. Although married, he began an affair with his new love which, one year later, produced a son. He was christened Dugald and was to be the first Chief of the Stewarts of Appin. After the death of his first wife, Sir John waited, for reasons we are unaware of today, for 5 years until setting up the marriage between himself and Dugald's mother, but it may have had something to do with the politics of the day. In 1463, Sir John set a wedding date and sent for Dugald and his mother to come to Dunstaffnage. Unknown to Sir John, there was a plot to kill the Lord of Lorn. It is not fully known, but it is thought to have been set up by the Lord of the Isles who was in a power struggle with the King of Scots, and who saw it as being in his best interest to neutralize this powerful and loyal representative of the King in the west highlands. The other plotters, which some feel included Colin Campbell, Lord Argyll, Sir John's son-in-law, were primarily represented by Alan MacCoul, the illegitimate grandson of an earlier MacDougall Chief. As the lightly armed wedding party made it's way from Dunstaffnage to the small chapel located approximately 180 yards from the castle walls, they were attacked by a superior force lead by Alan MacCoul. Although better armed, MacCoul's force was defeated, but not before mortally wounding Lord of Lorn. Sir John was rushed into the chapel and MacCoul and his henchmen ran into and occupied the deserted Dunstaffnage. With his last breath Sir John married Dugald's mother, legitimizing him and making him the de jure Lord of Lorn. After receiving the last rites, Sir John expired and a new chapter in west highland history was opened. (Electric Scotland) | Stewart, Sir John 2nd Lord Lorn (I16674)

| 7346 | Tragedy again struck the family in 1852 when James Stewart, the next to youngest son, was stricken with cholera and died. A lady in Albion told Hattie Funkhouser Bowman in 1947 that her (the lady's) grandfather and james Stewart, who was then a merchant in Liberty, had gone to New Orleans on a boat load of produce. James became ill and the boat was docked in order to secure the sevices of a doctor. The doctor took one look at James and said "This man is as good as dead--he has cholera". James died in a short time and was buried in the Mississippi River. This story coincided with a story told by Cousin Nell Dalby who said James died young and that her grandmother, "Dr. Mary", always treasured a jacket which had belonged to James. Also James, my father, said James died and was buried "at sea" early in 1852 and that he was born on April 7th shortly after the news arrived of the death of his uncle, James. Therefore, he was named james in memory of his uncle. (Massey) | Stewart, James (I31903)
