| 756 | Abbot of Le Bec Hellouin, 1669 Abbot of Ambien, later Archbishop of Rouen in 1691. The great library of Colbert was bequeathed to his eldest brother Jean-Baptiste Colbert, upon whose death in 1690 the library was purchased by his brother Jacques-Nicolas who in turn bequeathed it in 1707 to Charles-Eleanor, Comte de Seignelay. Finally in 1728 it was sold in dispersion. http://www.usal.es/~bgh/1024/exlibris/colbert.htm | Colbert, Abbé Jacques-Nicolas (I2767)

| 758 | Abraham Duncan was born and raised in Rutherglen, Lanark, Scotland, a suburb of Glasgow. In 1871 he was 2 years old and residing with his parents and siblings at 26 Wardlawhill St, Rutherglen, Rutherglen, Lanarkshire, Scotland. In 1881 Abraham was residing with his widowed mother and siblings at 10 Broad Street, Camlachie, Glasgow Barony, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Abraham (who went by "Abram") arrived on the ship, Prussian, at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada from Glasgow, Scotland on 30 Apr 1883. He was travelling without family and was on a shipload consisting almost entirely of teenage boys from Scotland. They are all recorded as "colonists". It appears Abraham may have been "sent away" like a Dr. Bernardo's Child. Abraham came to Canada in 1886. In 1891 Abraham was residing in Sydney, East Hasting, Ontario, Canada, age 19, and working as a farm hand for David Gilbert Roblin (who was born in the USA and is no known relation). In 1911 Abraham was residing in Belleville, West Hastings, Ontario, Canada with his wife. Also residing with them was Abraham's cousin, James Orr and his nephew John Duncan (son of Robert Wilson Duncan). Abraham was the first Duncan to come to Canada from Scotland. According to the 1911 census he immigrated in 1882 (or 1885 according to 1901). He was only 16 years old. His brother Robert didn't immigrate until 30 years later. It is believed that Abraham may have immigrated with his cousin James Orr and that they may have initially stayed with other relatives no presently identified. Abraham married in 1906 in the Methodist church in Belleville, Ontario, Canada to Clarissa Benedict Doughan, by Rev. George Brown. The marriage was witnessed by David Joss and L. E. Brown. David Joss may be a cousin. L. E. Brown may be a relative of the minister as she witnessed several marriages by George Brown. In 1911 Abraham was residing in Belleville with wife and no children. In 1912/13 when his niece and nephew Margaret Hunter "Maggie" Duncan and Samuel Wilson Duncan came over from Scotland they stayed with Abraham before moving to Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario. The 1911 census shows Abraham living in Belleville with his wife and cousin, James Orr (b. Apr 1887 in Scotland) and nephew John Duncan (Dec 1891). | Duncan, Abraham (I5370)
|
| 759 | Abraham followed his brother, Thomas, to Canada and settled near him in Kent County, Ontario. In 1881, Abraham was living at Leehall, Bellingham, North Tynedale, Northumberland, England, on the farm of John Usher Bell. This is next door to the farm that Abraham's sister, Annie Dawson, and her husband, Luke Bell, were living at. John Usher Bell had a brother named Luke Bell, however, at present there is no known relationship between the two Bell families. | Dawson, Abraham (I3952)
|
| 760 | Abraham is found in a 17 FEB 1925 passenger list for the ship Columbia, recorded as: "Abraham Duncan, age 26, single, occupation: motor driver, from Glasgow, Scotland, bound for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, port of entry: New York, NY, USA, nearest living relative: mother Margaret Duncan, 12 Garvald (or Barvald) St., Bridgton, Glasgow." | Duncan, Abraham (I5211)

| 768 | According Mabel's death registration, she died of marasmus (severe malnutrition). This can be caused by viral infection, inadequate production of breast milk, or neglect. | Brown, Mabel Emma (I20434)
|
| 769 | According Stewarts of the South, Robert Stewart was a cottager [in] Allanabreak [in] Aberfoil who had one son. An exact match can be found in the Aberfoyle parish register for Robert Stewart who married on 28 Feb 1767 in Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland, to Janet MacOmash/Machomas, and had a son, John Stewart, four months later on 6 Jul 1767 in Allanabreck, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland. This was their only child. | Stewart, Robert in Allanabreak (I17760)
|
| 770 | According the Llewella McIntyre's notes, Elisabeth Stewart married a McNaughton. His exact identity is not confirmed, and it is not known if she married in Scotland or Canada, but he could be John McNaughtan of Balquhidder. If so, then they were married in May 1834 just prior to the family leaving for Canada. | McNaughton, Unknown (I21311)
|
| 771 | According to "The Cuthberts of Castlehill" Jane had children. | Cuthbert, Jane Hay (I3310)

| 776 | According to a descendant, William died of Spanish flu at the age of 41 years. | Stewart, William (I18050)
|
| 777 | According to a newspaper clipping. Alexander was a dairy farmer on the Aberuchill estate where his father farmed before him. | McNaughton, Alexander (I24715)
|
| 778 | According to a submitted family tree, Duncan Stewart was a merchant in Buenos Ayres who had one daughter. "Died, at Monte Video, on the 6th January, Duncan Stewart, Esq., second son of the late Duncan Stewart, Esq. of Glenbuckie, Perthshire. Friends will please accept of this intimation." -- Dundee , Perth and Couper Advertiser, Friday 24 May 1850. | Stewart, Duncan in Buenos Ayres (I20851)
|
| 779 | According to Alexander's first cousin, Mrs Stewart of Milton, Alexander drowned in the Leith on 3 NOV 1887. However, family descendant records now prove this to be untrue. It appears more likely that Mrs. Stewart has confused Alexander with another cousin, possibly Alexander's brother John. Census records confirm family records in showing that Alexander survived to an old age, married, had many children and emigrated to Green City, Sullivan County, Missouri, USA. In 1851 and 1861 Alexander was residing with his parents in Balvorist and Drumloist, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland. In 1871 he was residing with his wife and children in his widowed mother-in-law's house at Cambusbeg, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland. He was employed as a farm manager for his mother-in-law, Christian McKinlay, who was recorded as a farmer of 360 acres. In 1881 Alexander was residing at Drumloist, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland with his wife, children, and widowed mother-in-law. He was employed as a farmer of 500 acres. | Stewart, Alexander (I14465)

| 782 | According to an unverified online tree hosted by the Stewart great-granddaughter of James Watson Stewart, his father was Maj. James Watson, Birth 8 JAN 1840 • Manchester, Lancashire, England, Death 19 SEP 1883 • Perth and Kinross, Scotland. | Watson, Maj. James (I27245)
|
| 783 | According to birth records, Tom was born 12 Apr 1877, but according to his police retirement information, he turned 65 on 27 Apr 1944, making his birthday 27 Apr 1879. The latter date is more consistent with later records. Tom immigrated from Ireland to Canada in 1888 at age 8. He was educated in Hamilton, Wentowrth, Ontario, Canada. One of his early jobs was as a grocery clerk in a German-dominated area of town. Tom taught himself to speak German while working in that store. The 1901 census shows him as a 20 year old grocery clerk. Residing next door to him was a German family of William Belan whose resident 22-year-old brother-in-law, Edward Hasselfelt (surname unclear) was a policeman. As they were nextdoor neighbours and close in age, this could be impetus for Tom's entry onto the police force three years later. Tom later worked as a salesman in a packing firm. Tom was colour-sergeant of the 13th Royal Regiment, and was selected by his regiment to represent them at the coronation of Edward VII at Westminster on 9 Aug 1902. (The 13th Battalion of Volunteer Militia established Hamilton in 1862. Between 1899 and 1902, during the Boer War, many members of the 13th served in South Africa as members of the 2nd (Special Service) Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment and the 1st Canadian Mounted Rifles. Not asked to mobilize for the war, the 13th Battalion remained in Canada and was redesignated 13th Regiment in 1900 and 13th Royal Regiment in 1910.) On March 2, 1904, at age 24, Tom left commercial employment and joined the Hamilton City Police Force. During that same year he married Jean Stewart and began his family. On 19 Oct 1904, Tom married Jean Ord Stewart at Central Presbyterian Church in Hamilton. It is not known how they met. Jean's first-cousin by marriage, Jack Cameron, was a police detective. Eight months later, on 28 June 1905, they welcomed their first child, Stewart Brown. They were living at 173 Walnut Street South in Hamilton at the time. During the summer and fall of 1906, Hamilton experienced an extended strike action by the Hamilton Street Railway company. Saturday November 24, 1906 -- One story is recounted by Police Chief Thomas Brown who was a Constable at the time: He was assigned to ride on a streetcar from the Sanford Avenue barns to the Bayfront to protect the passengers from injury. By the time they got to King and James Streets, every window in the car was broken by demonstrators throwing rocks. Miraculously, no one was hurt, but the car never finished its run. At one point, a group rolled a large boulder on top of the car from some high point and it came through the roof of the car. Demonstrators rushed then and the car was de-railed and turned over on its side with the passengers, driver and then Police Constable Brown fleeing for their lives. (Gordon V. Torrance, Inspector (former Chief of Police), The Hamilton Police Department, Past and Present, The History of Law Enforcement in Hamilton from 1833 to 1967, dated January 1967) The 1911 census shows Tom residing at 408 King William Street and employed as a policeman working for the city of Hamilton, working 52 hours per week and earning $1500 per year. Tom and his wife and children were also living with Jean's widowed mother, Mary Stewart (née Tait) at the time. One newspaper source says that he served 12 years as a constable before beginning to climb the ranks. Another source mistakenly says that he was a Sergeant during the violent Hamilton street car strike of 1906. However, a Hamilton Spectator newspaper clipping dated March 6, 1919 announces his promotion to Patrol Sergeant. In 1921, Tom was residing at 13 Lorne Ave in Hamilton with his wife, all four children, and his widowed mother-in-law, Mary Tait. In 1924 Tom and his family moved from St. John's Presbyterian Church to Ryerson Methodist Church in anticipation of both denominations coming into Union in 1925. Thus the Brown family entered into the United Church of Canada, but their former congregation of St. John's did not enter into Union and remained Presbyterian. Tom was a member of Ryerson United Church, a former president of the Irish Protestant Benevolent Society, a 32nd degree Master mason, and a member of the Rotary Club. Tom Brown was a prominent public figure. He had an incredibly successful and highly decorated career as a police officer in Hamilton having risen from the lowest to the highest ranking officer during his career. At work, as Chief of the Hamilton Police Department, he was described as "always kindly and sympathetic and at all times had a fatherly understanding towards junior officers". He was also a forward thinker. Tom was the Police Chief who was responsible for introducing two-way radios into the police cars. He was also strong under pressure. He was a constable during the violent Hamilton Railway Strike, and later as Chief he headed the department during the opening years of WWII where he was responsible for, what today is known as, "homeland security". In this capacity Tom oversaw "civil defense problems". Tragically, these "civil defense problems" actually involved the McCarthy-esque arrest of anyone of Italian descent in Hamilton who was even suspected of having Fascist sympathies. This racially motivated campaign resulted in enmity between the Italian community in Hamilton and the city government for years. In 1943 Tom was awarded the honour of Member of the British Empire (what is now called The Order of Canada). "Twice during his long career he was honoured with the task of guarding his Sovereign, first at the coronation of King Edward VII and later during the visit of the King and Queen to Hamilton in 1939." (Hamilton Spectator biography, Mar. 31, 1952) Unfortunately at home Tom was in some ways very different than his work persona, and in other ways not different enough. He did not "at all time have a fatherly understanding" towards his family. Instead he was very much the "chief" at home. His nieces described him as a "large and intimidating" man. He was "the law at work and at home" and his authority was unquestioned... or else. Tom inherited "The Strap" from his father. This was a disciplinary device far worse than just a father's leather belt (see notes on John Brown). He used "The Strap" to excess on his son Stewart (see notes: John Stewart Brown). When "The Strap" was inherited by Tom's grandson Kenneth it showed signs of having been "thoroughly" used for several generations. By today's standard's we would describe Tom as an emotionally and physically abusive father. According to one of Tom's grandsons, he also kept a collection of guns seized from criminals during his police career. These were stored in a box in the attic which he would show to his grandsons on occasion, and regale them with the tales of the actual crimes each gun was used in. Tom was buried from Robinson Funeral Home and now rests in White Chapel Memorial Gardens in Hamilton. | Brown, Chief Const. Thomas Albert MBE Chief of Police (I1884)

| 784 | According to Bulloch this David Cuthbert is the David Cuthbert of Ardersier whose daughter Beatrix married Alexander Cuthbert, Merchant in Inverness, (above) and were parents of The Hon. Capt. James Cuthbert, 1st of Berthier-en-Haut (below). However Bulloch is in error here. He has conflated two contemporary David Cuthberts. This David Cuthbert is mentioned on 17 MAY 1678 in an Instrument of Premonition (GD176/572) by Alexander McIntosh of Connadge for which the list of witnesses includes George Cuthbert of Castlehill and David Cuthbert his brother-german. David is mentioned again on 18 APR 1705 in a Charter of Resignation by William Duff (GD23/2/33) mentioning lands that belonged to "the deceased John Cuthbert of Castlehill then to David Cuthbert, his son". In neither of these documents is David referred to as "of/in Ardersier". Whereas the only document that refers to David Cuthbert "of Ardersier" is a letter dated 31 MAY 1679 (GD23/6/2) from Duncan Forbes in reference to the estate of "the deceased David Cuthbert, town clerk of Inverness, from Ardersear." If David Cuthbert was mentioned as "from Ardersier" and deceased in 1679 then it would be hard to explain why he was not so-designated only a year earlier when he was still alive. But most convincingly, it would be hard to explain how he could be cited in 1705 as being alive 26 years after he died. Thus David Cuthbert of Ardersier cannot be the same person as David Cuthbert, son of John Cuthbert, 9th of Castlehill. | Cuthbert, David (I2959)

| 785 | According to Bulloch, Edward died in childhood. | Cuthbert, Edward (I2970)
|
| 786 | According to Bulloch, George "remained in Jamaica and thrived" while while his brother, widowed mother and sisters moved to England. George's mother's obit records that George was President of the Council of Jamaica. It is not known if he married or had children. George is mentioned on 26 OCT 1807 in a Precept of Clare Constat (GD23/4/243) by the magistrates and town council of Inverness, in favour of "George Cuthbert of Spanishtown in Jamaica [West Indies], as heir to his father, Lewis Cuthbert, in portions of the lands of Bogbain, in the sherriffdom of Inverness." This document post-dates George's believed date of death of 29 OCT 1802. The discrepancy of dates has not been reconciled. | Cuthbert, Hon. George (I3154)
|
| 787 | According to Bulloch, John Cuthbert is named in a charter of resignation from his father, believed to be dated 1 AUG 1625, however Bulloch is quite ambiguous and confusing on the which charter bears which date. John is mentioned in a list of receipts dated 4 FEB 1641 (GD44/40/1) in which he is identified as "John Cuthbert of Castlehill". Also listed in the same document are: John Cuthbert of Little Drakies, William Cuthbert, burgess of Inverness, David Cuthbert, burgess of Inverness, and Alexander Cuthbert, burgess of Inverness. In 1661 John Cuthbert of Castlehill is mentioned in a Letter of Obligation by William Bruce, Skipper in South Ronaldsay (SC11/5/1661/9). In 1666 John is mentioned in a letter of discharge (GD45/16/1237) by George, Earl of Panmure to John Cuthbert of Castlehill for the lands of Overdrakies, Standingstanes (beside Drakies) and Miekledrakies ("Big" Drakies) and other lands in the parish of Inverness. The same discharge appears to be given again on 18 JUL 1672 (GD45/16/1247). John is mentioned posthumously on 20 JUN 1674 in an interesting letter of Notorial Protest (GD23/4/32) by Mr. James Grant, advocate for George Cuthbert of Castlehill, "of dissociation of said George Cuthbert from an action before the Lords of Council and Session between the burgh of Invernes [Inverness] and John Forbes of Cullodne [Culloden], Mr. William Robertsone [Robertson] of Inches [Inshes] and deceased John Cuthbert of Castlehill, father of said George." It's not known what action John took that his son George felt the need to publicly dissociate himself from it, but it would be interesting to find out. | Cuthbert, John (I3450)
|
| 788 | According to Bulloch, Lewis Cuthbert went to Jamaica and prospered. Deeds (below) show that Lewis resided in Spanish Town, Jamaica where he was a lawyer and served as Provost Marshall of Jamaica from 1783-1795. In 1783, Lewis' uncle, Abbé Alexander Cuthbert, 13th of Castlehill, died without issue. On 23 Jul 1783 Lewis was appointed as attorney to his nephew, Joseph Cuthbert, 14th of Castlehill, for the purpose of settling the estate. However the estate of Castlehill was still financially burdened and it would appear that Joseph could not afford to maintain the estate. On 20 Jan 1785, Lewis was appointed as attorney to his wealthy younger brother, George Cuthbert, who then took over Castlehill. In 1789 George died and Lewis succeeded him in the estate of Castle Hill. According to Bulloch, when Lewis died in 1802 his will prescribed that his estates be divided equally among his two sons and three daughters -- thus necessitating the sale of Castlehill for equal financial distribution. However, there is a deed dated May 1795, showing the lands of Castlehill being conveyed to Messrs. Abram Roberts and Company in London, England. This would appear to indicate that Lewis actually sold Castlehill outright a full seven years before his death. Perhaps Lewis too could not manage the debts of the estate. Lewis' children in England are all listed as "fund holders" thus it would appear that Bulloch was partially correct that the residue of the estate was divided among Lewis' children. Lewis died 29 OCT 1802 in Jamaica, but his widow, one son (Seignelay), and his three daughters moved to England. His eldest son (George) remained in Jamaica and thrived. Lewis' children are found in later records residing in Clifton, Gloucestershire, England (now part of the city of Bristol). His youngest son, Seignelay, is shown as having been born in Bath, Somerset, England (about ten miles southeast of Bristol) in 1786, prior to Lewis' death in Jamaica in 1802. This would make it appear that Lewis was maintaining a residence in England while living in Jamaica and travelling between the two. Bulloch muddles the children of this family and lists four sons: George, Thomas, Seignelay and George.

[Note: In this deed Lewis CUTHBERT appoints James GRANT, of Corriemonie, advocate in Edinburgh, and John BAILLIE, of Dunain, Inverness, as his attornies. The deed was written by Thomas ROSS, Clerk to Thomas GALLY, attorney at law, of Kingston, Surry County, Jamaica, and was subscribed in Kingston on 2 Jul 1789, with witnesses Thomas GALLY and Thomas ROSS.

| 789 | According to Bulloch, this person's name was John Cuthbert and he first went to Pennsylvania from Castlehill in 1715 along with his two year old son Thomas, born at Castlehill. However, according to a descendant researcher, his actual name was Thomas and he came to America about 1715, settled in Bladen County, North Carolina, moved to Philadelphia sometime prior to 1744, and died 24 JAN 1756 and is buried in Christ's Church, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. As the anonymous descendant researcher cites an actual burial, then the descendant's account is presently preferred over Bulloch who was merely quoting from a second-hand letter he'd received. Pennsylvania baptism records confirm the latter account. | Cuthbert, Thomas (I3629)
|
| 790 | According to Bulloch, Thomas had four sons, the fourth of which was Capt. Anthony Cuthbert. The other three are not named. | Cuthbert, Thomas (I3630)
|
| 791 | According to Bulloch, William is cited in a charter, believed to be dated 14 JUL 1624, in which he is identified as William Cuthbert, Baron of Castle Hill, heir to his father, John Cuthbert. However Bulloch's reference makes the dating ambiguous. It is presumed that the date of this charter roughly coincides with the death of William's father. William is mentioned on 9 NOV 1603 in an Act of the Sheriff Court of Inverness in which he is identified as "William Cuthbert, sheriff-depute of Inverness" (GD176/206) and again on 6 APR 1604 in a Retour of Special Service for James Dunbar of Sanquhar in which William is again identified as "William Cuthbert, Sheriff-Depute of Inverness". A William Cuthbert served as Provost of Inverness from 1602-1603 which was during William's lifetime. It is not clear if it was this William or different one. And in 1619 there is an Instrument of Sasine (GD103/1/120) which lists "William 'Johnson' Cuthbert in Inverness" in a manner that appears more likely to be a patronymic than a middle name. As this William was indeed a "son of John" then it could easily refer to this William. But the reference is uncertain as we might also expect William to be designated as "younger of Castlehill" and William Johnson Cuthbert is not so-designated. However William's father was still alive in 1619 and thus "of Castlehill" at the time so William may not have carried any designation at this point in reference to Castlehill. Such would be even more so if William was not the eldest son living at the time and therefore not the designated future heir of Castlehill. However, as we have no information regarding the full extent of the children of George Cuthbert, 7th of Castlehill, then we can only speculate. The other Cuthberts named in the same 1619 Sasine include: James Cuthbert Senior in Inverness, James Cuthbert in Easter Drakies, David Cuthbert in Inverness, and John Cuthbert in Inverness. | Cuthbert, William Johnson (I3653)

| 792 | According to Calvert family records, Benedict died young. Nelker does not show Benedict at all. Benedict has not been found in any public records and may not have existed. | Steuart, Benedict (I21656)
|
| 793 | According to Calvert family records, Benedict never married nor had children. Nothing more is known of him. Nelker indicates "no information available on him." | Steuart, Benedict (I22149)

| 794 | According to Calvert family records, Charles died in infancy. | Steuart, Charles Calvert (I21653)
|
| 795 | According to Calvert family records, Charles married Cora, divorced former wife of his cousin Thomas Steuart. | Steuart, Charles Augustine (I21695)
|
| 796 | According to Calvert family records, James died in infancy. | Steuart, James Murray (I21659)
|
| 797 | According to Cameron family records, Catherine Stewart, daughter of Donald Stewart and Isobel McGregor, married Duncan Cameron, and were the parents of John Cameron who married Helen Ferguson of Kipp, Balquhidder, and had nine children born at Glenbeich, Balquhidder. Documentary evidence is lacking to support the Cameron/Stewart connection, however the claim seems probably true. The Stewarts were from Dalveich, next door to Glenbeich, and multiple autosomal DNA connections exist between descendants of the Camerons and this Dalveich line. The Camerons immigrated to Canada in 1831. Research has eliminated the possibility of a marital connection between these families post-immigration, thus the connection must earlier than John Cameron and Helen Ferguson. Thus the connection suggested here, though not proven, becomes more than plausible, in fact probable. | Stewart, Catharine (I14864)

| 798 | According to Canadian census and death records, Margaret Drummond-alias-MCGregor was born in Upper Strathearn in 1811. Until 2024, no record had been found for her birth. Her birth family has been identified as that of William Drummond and Margaret MacEwan in Glenlednock, just north of the town of Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. Her first name on her baptismal registration is blank in the Old Parish Register for Comrie Parish. She was born 17 Jun 1810 in Balmuik, Glenlednock, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. (Thanks to John Andrew Hutchison for discovering the birth record. Several online trees show Margaret as the daughter of Gregor McGregor and Ann Drummond which cannot be correct as that Margaret McGregor is found in 1841 and 1851 living in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland with her parents and thus she could not have been in Canada at the same time.) (The following narrative history is based on information provided by the late Nora Smith and Edie Morra (nee Stewart).) On 14 Mar 1832, Margaret Drummond married in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland to Duncan Stewart. Her name on the marriage record is recorded as "Mary" but this could easily be a transcription error for "Marg." Margaret's granddaughter recalled that Margaret was proud that she was actually a MacGregor whose Drummond surname was only an alias. During the lifetime of Margaret's husband's ancestor's life (Alexander Stewart, 1st of Ardvorlich) the Clan Gregor were outlawed and the MacGregor surname was banished in Scotland. MacGregors were forced to take on other surnames or face execution. Margaret's ancestors chose the alias of Drummond, but, like many other MacGregors, they held on to the memory that their real surname was MacGregor. Margaret shared memories of her life growing up in Upper Strathearn with her grandchildren. She recalled growing up in the beautiful surroundings of Sir Walter Scott's book, "The Lady of the Lake", including Loch Earn, Loch Katrine and Ben Vorlich. She recalled tragically that when she was a child playing on a hillside with her brother, James, a storm was coming. James took of his plaid, wrapped Margaret in it and sent her home. James took shelter under a tree which was struck by lightning, killing him. She also recalled going to town to purchase her first set of china dishes and having to remove her shoes and stockings to ford a stream while carrying the dishes home in the folds of her dress. Margaret married in 1832 to Duncan Stewart. They lived on Duncan's family farm in Upper Strathearn. (This reference is unclear. The family farm had been at Morell in Glentarken, but the family were evicted from Glentarken and moved to the nearby village of St. Fillans. The exact year of eviction is uncertain, but probably ca. 1812-1815. Whether the Stewarts had a farm in St. Fillans or lived otherwise is unknown.) Duncan and Margaret became increasingly disenchanted with the declining conditions of life in their home strath and increasingly enamoured with the promises of a better life in the New World. Shortly after the birth of their first daughter Catharine, Duncan and Margaret made a decision to move to the New World. The story of their life together in Canada is told in more detail in the notes of Margaret's husband. One funny story -- Margaret recalled being quite good at baking apple pies. When she came to Canada she heard all about these excellent pumpkin pies. She tried to bake a pumpkin pie following her apple pie recipe, using chunks of raw pumpkin in the pie. The pie was not eaten. Margaret's daughter Catharine's death registration specifies that her mother was born in Comrie (the town, not the parish). In 1871, Duncan and Margaret were residing in Bayham Township, Elgin County, Ontario, Canada with three of their adult children: Margaret C, William, and John. Also residing with them was 13 year old, Ontario-born, Annie Drummond (b 1858). She may be a clue to Margaret's birth family. | Drummond-alias-McGregor, Margaret (I8875)

| 799 | According to Catherine's gravestone, she was 35 when she died in 1861. This would appear to make Catherine a twin sister of Thomas Hulme Taylor, although Thomas is nowhere recorded as being a twin. But Catherine is also not recorded at all in the Taylor family tree nor in the Taylor biography in Romantic Kent. | Taylor, Catherine M. (I18842)

| 800 | According to Clan MacNab records, Catharine MacNab, daughter of Donald MacNab of Braeleny, married a Stewart by whom she had one or two sons before her Stewart husband died. (See notes on son, Walter for further reconcilliation of this account with Stewart records.) Only one birth has been found for this couple, thus it is suggested that Donald died shorly after 1777. They were referred to as "The French MacNabs" because of their time in France. | MacNab, Catharine in Braeleny (I20453)
