| 7451 | 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 to the King of Scots (I5762)

| 7452 | Walter had descendants. | Stewart, Sir Walter of Dalswinton and Garlies (I17944)

| 7453 | Walter has not been found in any census records. His date of birth here is merely an estimation. | Brown, Walter (I1861)
|
| 7454 | 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)

| 7455 | Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as a schoolmaster in Temple S. (Street/School/Stewart?) in Edinburgh. | Stewart, Walter (I17721)
|
| 7456 | Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as being a "clark in Glasgow". | Stewart, Walter (I17913)
|
| 7457 | 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 in Dunan (I17910)

| 7465 | 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)
|
| 7466 | Walter Stewart was born in July 1811 at Strone on the north shore of Loch Katrine in Upper Strathgartney in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland, although no registration has been found for his birth. His date of birth is according to his gravestone. Walter Stewart has not been found in any census records. Although Walter's father is recorded as a bachelor, the following entry from Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions from Brig O Turk Cemetery, almost certainly applies to this family: "17 - foot stone next to 16, by John STEWART [illegible], father Walter STEWART, late tenant of Stroan, born JUL 1811, died 1869. No corresponding baptismal record has been found for Walter." Upon Walter Stewart's death, the estate of Strongavaltrie (Strone) passed to Walter's cousin, Duncan Stewart in Shenachyle and Drumloist, son of Alexander Stewart in Shenachyle. Nothing is known of the whereabouts of Walter's son, John. It's possible that John inherited Strongavaltrie (Strone) and immediately sold it to his cousin and then moved away. | Stewart, Walter in Strone (I17937)
|
| 7467 | 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)

| 7469 | Walter Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Walter Stewart, once [a] Tacksman of one eighth of Glenfinglas, left two sons [who are] now cottagers [in] Duncragan [on] Sir Pat Murrays estate [in] Callander parish [which was] bought from Perth family." His first son is unnamed but is described as having "two sons [who are] minors." His second son is identified as: "Duncan Stewart, his brother, [who is a] shepherd in Leadchrich [in the] Braes of Balquhidder.

|
| 7470 | 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)
|
| 7471 | Walter Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1578 in Glenbuckie, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, as a younger son of Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie. Walter Stewart was included in a bond in 1622 in which he is recorded as the "brother-german of John Dow Stewart in Glenfinglas" (John Dubh Mor Stewart, 6th of Glenbuckie). He is believed to be the same Walter Stewart identified in Stewarts of the South as Valter nan Cliugh ("Walter of the Ravine") 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." As such, Walter is identified as the founder of VI-Branch of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie, clan Sliochd Bhalter nan Cleugh. Walter Stewart's wife is unknown. The names and birth dates of his children are unknown. | Stewart, Walter nan Cleugh of Strone and Forester of Benvenue (I17942)
|
| 7472 | Walter Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1635 in Stongavaltrie on Loch Katrine in Upper Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, however, no record of his birth has been found. Based on onomastic evidence alone, it is suggested that his father's name may have been Duncan Stewart. Walter Stewart is named in the testament of his son, Duncan Stewart, dated 1710, as residing in Strone. The testament indicates that Duncan had a wife Janet Stewart and that he appears to have died before his time. Duncan’s children are named as John and Mary, and their grandfather is named as Walter Stewart who was still alive at the time of Duncan's death and was acting on the children’s behalf as their tutor. It lists off the livestock that are to be sold off, and it appears there was a joint interest with Robert Stewart of Auchnahard. There are some other interesting mentions, including Duncan Murray in Monachyle, John McLean in Mull and also possibly William Macdonald, brother of Sir Donald McDonald of Sleat (Skye). | Stewart, Walter in Strongavaltrie (1-Line) (I17335)
|
| 7473 | Walter Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1700 presumably in Brackland, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, prior to the commencement of recording baptisms in the Callander parish register. As his eldest known son's name is James, it is suggested, but not confirmed, that he is a son of the James shown here and a brother (or half-brother) to James Stewart, born 1712, as shown above. On 21 Feb 1720, Walter Stewart married in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland to Isabel McLaren. They had eight children. | Stewart, Walter (I29756)
|
| 7474 | Walter Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1705, likely in Aberfoyle parish, Perthshire, Scotland, although no record of his birth has been found, as parish records from this era are incomplete. Walter Stewart is the predecessor to 5-Line of the Stewarts of Coille Mhor and is thus descended from Robert Stewart in Culgartmore by uncertain means. He is presently shown as a grandson of Alexander Stewart, eldest son of Robert Stewart in Culgartmore, but this relationship is not certain. Walter Stewart married on 19 Nov 1730 in Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland, to Isobel Graham. "Oct'r 25 Listed Walter Stuart & Isobell Grahame both in this parish and after proclamation were married Nov 19th 1730" (Port of Menteith Parish Register) Her parents are unknow. Parish baptismal records show them having four recorded children, John, Andrew, Alexander, and Duncan, however the gaps in the birth order suggest they likely had at least eight children, four of whom have no surviving baptismal records. | Stewart, Walter in Gartmore and Craignuchty (I30166)
|
| 7475 | Walter Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1715 presumably in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland, although no record of his birth has been found. His parents are unknown. According to Stewarts of the South (written c. 1815) Walter Stewart had two brothers, Duncan Stewart and Donald Stewart who were also subtenants at Strone, Upper Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. Walter Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Walter Stewart, brother to [the] foresaid Duncan had two sons: first of them dead; second son Walter now in Nova Scotia in north America and doing well there [and] intends to return." | Stewart, Walter in Strone (I29560)
|
| 7476 | Walter Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1730 at the Kirkton farm in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to unknown parents. His birth record has not been found and may not have survived. His father's name is unknown but may have been James. Walter Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South, Section II, c. 1815, as being the patriarch of 1-Line of the Stewarts in Glentarken. "Walter Stewart, late tacksman of Lianoch [of] Glenbuckie [who was] called Valtair Chlachain. His progenitors were tacksmen of [the] Kirkton [of] Balquhidder for a long time, but lost it by some crook at law. This man left two sons: 1 James Stewart, [a] tenant [in] Innirvulin [in] Strathyre [in] Balquhidder [on] Buchanan of Cambusmor's estate. [He has] five sons, [and pays] rent [of] £50. [His sons are:] 1 Walter, a marble cutter in Glasgow, [who has] no sons (He may have had daughters.) 2 Robert, [who is] at home with his father 3 Duncan, a smith at Aberfoil. [He has] one son a minor 4 & 5 John & James minors 2 son, John Stewart, brother to James. [He] died in Strathyre [and] left four sons [who are] minors. This John died at Nineveh of Strathyre, a village erected by the late Mr Buchanan of Cambusmore -- a place as bad as Nineveh of Old." Walter Stewart's nickname "Clachain" means "village", thus he is "Walter of the Village." The meaning behind his nickname is uncertain. The author's later description of the erecting of the village of Strathyre may suggest that Walter helped build the village. Both of his sons ended up living in Strathyre. Walter Clachain Stewart married on 21 Apr 1758 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland to Mary Stewart. They had three documented children, but given the gaps between their births, it is likely they had several more children whose baptism records have not survived. If so, then it is likely that those children were either sons who died young or daughters as the author does not regularly mention daughters. Walter Clachain Stewart's date and location of death is unknown. | Stewart, Walter Clachain (I32311)
|
| 7477 | Walter Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1750 in Strone, Upper Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of Duncan Stewart, although no record of his birth has been found. Walter Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as: "[Duncan Stewart's 2nd] son Walter [is a] Flesher in Glasgow [and] is unmarried." | Stewart, Walter Flesher in Glasgow (I29559)
|
| 7478 | Walter Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1750 presumably in Strone, Upper Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of Walter Stewart, a subtenant in Strone. Walter Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South c. 1815 as: "now in Nova Scotia in north America and doing well there [and] intends to return." Walter Stewart has not been found in public records. Nothing more is know about him. | Stewart, Walter in Nova Scotia (I29562)
|
| 7479 | Walter Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1770 in Drepan, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of Donald Stewart in Drepan, although no record of his birth has been found. Walter Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South c. 1815 as: "Walter, a labourer in Glasgow." | Stewart, Walter Labourer in Glasgow (I17912)
|
| 7480 | Walter Stewart was born 10 Nov 1743 in Strone (Strongalvaltrie) on the north shore of Loch Katrine in Upper Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland as a son of John Stewart and Elisabeth Stewart. 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." Walter Stewart married on 27 Mar 1778 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, to Janet McFarlane. They had three recorded children, shown here. Such a small family is unusual for the time period, suggesting that Janet likely died after their third child. If so, then there is no record of Walter having remarried. Walter's date of death is unknown. No gravestone has been found for him. He is referred to in the past tense in Stewarts of the South suggesting that he likely died before that document was written c. 1815. | Stewart, Walter in Strone (I17935)
|
| 7481 | Walter Stewart was born 10 Oct 1813 in Thornhill, Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of Walter Stewart and Agnes Buchanan. Walter Stewart has not been identified in later records. Nothing more is known of him. | Stewart, Walter (I31239)
|
| 7482 | Walter Stewart was born 12 Jul 1858 in Drumbowie, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland, as a younger son of John Stewart and Elizabeth McCallum. Shortly after his birth, his parents moved to Arrochie Beg in Buchanan parish, Stirlingshire, Scotland. In 1861, at age 2, Walter Stewart was residing at Arrochie Beg, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings. In 1871, at age 12, Walter Stewart was residing at Main Street in Callander Village, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland with his elder brother Donald and younger sister Margaret. They were attending school. The full census image needs to be consulted to identify their guardian. In 1881, at age 22, Walter Stewart was visiting the vamily of Archibald McKelvie at Royston Cottage in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. He was identified as an unemployed farm servant. It was likely here that he met Willamina Campbell with whom he would go on to have two illegitimate children. In 1886, Walter had relations with Willamina Campbell. Their daughter Isabella Stewart Campbell was born 2 Jan 1887 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. In 1891, at age 32, Walter Stewart was residing at Easter Torrie, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, in the home of his eldest brother, John Stewart. He was employed as a farmer's brother. His daughter Isabella was residing with him. Walter has not been found in the 1901 census. Walter Stewart died 7 Mar 1903 from exposure face-down in a ditch near Loneside Farm, Clackmannan, Clackmannanshire, Scotland. He was employed as a shepherd at Auchadunan near Inverary, Argyleshire, Scotland, at the time. Reading between the lines, it would appear that Walter may have been a deadbeat and a drunk who spent most of his life unemployed or working as a farm labourer got a maidservant pregnant twice, and died face down in a ditch, presumably drunk. "STEWART, Walter, Shepherd, Auchadunan near Inveraray, was found dead 7 March 1903, at Inch of Ferryton Farm near Clackmannan, intestate. Confirmation granted at Dunoon, 7 December, to John Stewart, Farmer, Gartcurrachan by Balfron, his brother, Executor dative qua next of kin. Value of Estate, £15, 1s. 1d."

Occ Farm Manager. Brother John of Ballachraggan, Callander (Ret Farmer), witnessed the Death Cert. | Stewart, Walter (I17921)
|
| 7483 | Walter Stewart was born 12 May 1805 in Quarry of Auchraw, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, as the eldest son of John Stewart and Margaret McIntyre. Walter Stewart's father died sometime between 1815-1820 when Walter would have been only 10-15 years old. Walter Stewart has not been found in 1841, but he was likely in Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland. Walter Stewart married on 3 Mar 1850 in Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland to Margaret Boyd. Their marriage was registered secondly on 7 Mar 1850 in Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland. Both were listed as residing in Port of Menteith parish at the time. In 1851, at age 45, Walter Stewart was residing at Main Street in Callander Village, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife Margaret, age 34. Walter and Margaret had two children, a son John in 1852 and a son Donald in 1858. In 1861, at age 55, Walter Stewart was residing at Polder Moss, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland, in the home of his cousin Robert Stewart's widow, Janet McGibbon. He was employed as an agricultural labourer. Meanwhile, he wife and children were residing at Drumvaich, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, where she is recorded as a ploughman's wife. It seems likely that Robert Stewart may have just recentlly died and Walter Stewart was assisting his widow with the farm. In 1861, Walter and Margaret's son John died at age 9. In 1862, their son Donald died at age 4. They had no further children. In 1871, at age 65, Walter Stewart was residing at Drumvaich, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife. He was employed as a farm servant. In 1881, at age 75, Walter Stewart was residing at Drumvaich, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife. He was employed as a general labourer. Walter Stewart's wife, Margaret died on 10 Jan 1882 at Drumvaich, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, Walter Stewart died a year later on 24 Feb 1883 at Drumvaich, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland. His executor was Mary Stewart, identified as closest next of kin. "STEWART, Walter. Value of Estate, £234, 78. 1d. 8 February.

| 7484 | Walter Stewart was born 16 Aug 1772 in Thornhill, Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, as the second son of John Stewart and Isabel Doig. Walter Stewart married on 21 Jun 1806 in Thornhill, Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, to Agnes Buchanan, daughter of Peter Buchanan and Janet McNab. They had seven children. Pigot's directory of heads of households for Perthshire for 1825-26 lists brothers, James Stewart as a tanner, and Walter, and David Stewart as shoemakers in Thornhill. In 1841, at age 60, Walter Stewart was residing in Old Town Thornhill (Norrieston), Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife Agnes and son Peter. Walter was employed as a shoemaker. In 1843, Walter Stewart's wife, Agnes, died. In 1851, at age 71, Walter Stewart was residing on High Street in Thornhill, Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, as a widower with his daughter Agnes. He was employed as a shoemaker. Walter Stewart died on 18 Jun 1859 in Thornhill, Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland. | Stewart, Walter Shoemaker in Thornhill (I31220)
|
| 7485 | Walter Stewart was born 17 Aug 1759 in Milton of Aberfoyle, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland, as the eldest son of Andrew Stewart and Katherine Ferguson. He is presumed to have died in childhood prior to the birth of his same-named brother in 1765. | Stewart, Walter (I30169)
|
| 7486 | Walter Stewart was born 19 Mar 1765 in Nether Downance, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of Andrew Stewart in Craignuchty and Katherine Ferguson. Walter Stewart married on 23 Jun 1786 in Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland to Agnes McKay. “1786 Walter Stewart Miller and Miln of Drummond and Agnes McKay daughter of John McKay in Hill~~~~ [text cut off]...more parish of Port listed for proclamation ~~~~~ in order to marriage on the 23 of June 1786.” Their marriage was registered secondly on the same date in Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland. (There is a second family found in the Drymen parish register for Walter Stewart in Mill of Drummond and Katherine McKay with no marriage recorded for them. They had two children, John and Helen, whose children's births fit exactly into a gap in the birth order for the children of Walter Stewart and Agnes McKay in such a way that it is most likely that Agnes McKay and Katherine McKay are the same person and the parish clerk made a mistake on the mother's name for the births of John and Helen.) Walter Stewart is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South, c. 1815, in the description of his family. Only his brother, Andrew, is named. It is not known why the author did not mention Walter. In 1835, "Walter Stewart and Catherine Stewart in Chappelaroch" were listed in the Drymen Parish Communion Examination Roll. This is likely to be Walter Stewart and his wife Agnes/Katherine McKay.

His mother's surname was recorded as McIrnin in the Callander Parish Register. Walter Stewart may be the person referred to in Stewarts of the South as "The above Duncan (patriarch of 4 Line) had a brother [who was] a baker in Dunfermline with a family." However, no births for children of a Walter Stewart have been found in the Dunfermline parish register for that time period. | Stewart, Walter (I17708)

| 7490 | Walter Stewart was born 28 May 1854 in Bonhill, Dunbartonshire, Scotland, as a son of Walter Stewart and Mary Phillips. In 1861, at age 6, Walter Stewart was residing at Boghead, Kilmaronock, Dunbartonshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings. He was employed as a student. In 1871, at age 17, Walter Stewart was residing at West Balmuildy Farm, Cadder, Lanarkshire, Scotland, in the home of Duncan McFarlane. He was employed as a farm servant. Also residing in the home was his future wife, Mary McFarlane, who was employed as a household servant. Walter Stewart is presumed to have married about 1875 to Mary McFarlane although no record of their marriage has been found. They had five children begininning in 1877. In 1881, at age 26, Walter Stewart was residing at Buckley Farm Cottage No 2 in Cadder, Lanarkshire, Scotland, with his wife and young children. He was employed as a ploughman.

|
| 7491 | Walter Stewart was born 29 Mar 1739 in Strone (Strongalvaltrie) on the north shore of Loch Katrine in Upper Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland as a son of John Stewart and Elisabeth Stewart. Walter is presumed to have died young prior to the birth of his same-named brother in 1743. | Stewart, Walter (I17728)
|
| 7492 | Walter Stewart was born 29 May 1684 in Rouskenachie, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, on the eastern shore of Loch Lomand as a younger son of John Stewart, 1st of Calliemore, and Janet McFarlane. His exact location of birth appears to be Rouskenachie but is uncertain as the parish register is very difficult to read. "Jo’n Stewart in Rouskenachie (uncertain) and Jonet McFarland had a son Walter. Witnesses Jo’n McThomas and Jo’n McFarland." (Buchanan Parish Register) Walter Stewart is believed to be the most recent common ancestor for cadet lines 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 of the Stewarts in Calliemore. He is believed, but not confirmed, to be the same Walter Stewart who married on 16 Oct 1684 in Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland to Helen Buchanan. Their marriage is recorded on the same date in both Buchanan and Drymen parishes with both notices claiming them to be "of this parish" so it is difficult to be sure which parish is the actual parish of origin for the bride or groom. The entry in the Buchanan Parish register for 16 Oct 1684 reads, "Walter Stewart and Hellen Buchanan, both in this parish gave up y’r names in order to marriage with consent of friends." The entry in the Drymen Parish Register is damaged and difficult to read, but says, "July 3 1684, Oct 16, Walter Stewart and ~ellen (Hellen) Buchanan both in this paroch gave up y’r names in order to marriage with consent of [illegible]." Neither record gives a home location for either the bride or the groom. There are only two recorded births for a Walter Stewart anywhere in Stirlingshire between 1640-1670 who could be the Walter Stewart who married Helen Buchanan (assuming his birth is recorded) -- the one shown here and a second one born 16 Dec 1662 as the son of Ludovic Stewart and Katherine Stewart. This one is an omomastic match and the son of Ludovic is not. Helen Buchanan was born 20 Mar 1659 in Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland as the daughter of George Buchanan and Isabel Nobel. Her father, George Buchanan, is suspected, but not confirmed, to be the youngest son of George Buchanan, 3rd of Auchmar, and Janet Stewart, daughter of Andrew Stewart of Blairgarry. Such a marriage would be consistent with the marriage of Robert Stewart, 2nd of Coillemore (shown here as Walter's oldest brother), and Margery Buchanan, daughter of George's nephew, John Buchanan, 5th of Auchmar, and the multiple ties between the Buchanans of Auchmar and cadets of the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran. No baptismal records have survived for any of their children so their children's identities must be discerned from other records and their dates of birth can only be estimated. Walter Stewart is recorded in Drymen Kirk Session Minutes as residing in Easter Blarnavaid and as being the father of George Stewart in Blarnavaid and John Stewart in Spittal of Blarnavaid. These two sons are consistent with the traditional naming pattern of naming sons after their grandfathers, John Stewart and George Buchanan. As there are no records of the births of sons, George Stewart and John Stewart, we cannot be certain of their birth order. Walter Stewart's date and location of death is unknown as no record has been found of his death. --- 1722 Drymen Kirk Session Minutes: “Jan 21st 1722, Jonat McAuley being summoned as appointed compeared and Dilator George Stewart son of Walter Stewart in Easter Blarnavaid as father of her child grayson(?)." 1726 Drymen Kirk Session Minutes. “October 9th 1726 – The which day Mary McFarlane being cited and compeared and deponed yt (that) she was with child to John Stewart, son to Walter Stewart in Blarnavaid." | Stewart, Walter in Easter Blarnavaid (I30813)

| 7493 | Walter Stewart was born 29 Nov 1788 in Callander Village, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of James Stewart and Jean Stewart. Walter Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South, Section II, c. 1815, as being a son of James Stewart in Immervoulin, who was son of Walter Clachan Stewart. They belonged to 1-Line of the Stewarts in Glentarken who were VIII-Branch of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie. Walter Stewart is specifically described as: "Walter, a marble cutter in Glasgow, [who has] no sons." We cannot determine from this entry if Walter Stewart married or not or if he had children. The author merely says that he had no sons. As the author rarely mentioned daughters, it is possible that Walter Stewart may have married and had a family of daughters. Walter Stewart has not been found in teh 1841 census or any later records. | Stewart, Walter Marble Cutter in Glasgow (I32320)
|
| 7494 | Walter Stewart was born 31 Mar 1744 in Drepan, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of John Stewart and Isabel McGregor-Drummond. Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "There was one Walter Stewart, 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 in Braes of Doune (I17911)
|
| 7495 | Walter Stewart was born 5 Nov 1759 in Brae of Bochastle, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as the son of Alexander Stewart and Beatrice Stewart. Walter Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South (c. 1815) as: "Walter Stewart, a merchant in Callander - no family of sons." There is no record of Walter having daughters either. As Walter Stewart had no children, there is no further record of him in the Callander parish register. He did not live long enough to be recorded in any census records. No other record of him has been found. | Stewart, Walter Merchant in Callander (I17724)
|
| 7496 | Walter Stewart was born 8 May 1777 in Auchnahard in Glenfinglas, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland as a son of Donald Stewart (younger son of James Stewart, 9th of Gartnafuaran) and Catharine MacNab (daughter of Duncan MacNab of Braeleny). Walter Stewart is presumed to have married about 1806 to Elizabeth Robertson from Aberdeen, although no record of their marriage has been found. They began their family in Glen Finglas where Walter was one of the eight hereditary Stewart tenants in Glen Finglas. He had a dispute with his landlord sometime between 1815-1820 and was evicted and was forced to move to Aberdeen. The anonymous author of Stewarts of the South described Walter unflatteringly as silly and lazy, but believed his eviction was unfair. Walter's wife was from Aberdeen and his mother's family also had connections to the Aberdeen area which is likely how they ended up settling there. Walter Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South, Section III, 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" in Gaelic. Both the Stewarts of the South and Clan MacNab accounts can be easily reconciled with parish 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, Scotland. Walter's birth shown here matches geographically, chronologically, and onomastically. | Stewart, Walter Frangich in Auchnahard (I32093)
