| 7501 | Walter Stewart was Lord of Brechin, Earl of Caithness, Earl of Atholl and Great Justiciary of Scotland. Walter was part of the jury who tried his nephew Murdoch Stewart, Duke of Albany, Walter became involved to a lesser degree in a conspiracy headed by his grandson and heir Robert, Master of Atholl, and Sir Robert Graham for the assassination of the King and following the murder, committed at Perth on 20 February 1437, he was taken captive by the Earl of Angus. He was fastened to the same cross to which his grandson had been strapped and tortured, and had a paper crown placed upon his head with the words “traitor” three times inscribed. He repeatedly asserted his innocence even to the Papal Legate, Bishop of Urbino, but he did acknowledge that he had known of the plot and of his grandson’s involvement yet had done nothing to dissuade the perpetrators and accordingly he was found guilty of complicity and beheaded at Edinburgh, in April of 1437. He m. firstly, by 19 October 1378, to Margaret, daughter and heiress of Sir David de Barclay, Lord Brechin, in whose right he forcibly laid claim and possessed the lordship of Brechin, which, in his final words before execution, he acknowledged to be wrong and renounced them in favour of the rightful heir Sir Thomas Maule. He m. secondly, to Elizabeth, daughter of Sir William Graham of Kincardine, (Dispensation 1 August 1404. She survived him and m. secondly, to Sir John Stewart, Sheriff of Bute, and had issue) (MacGregor) | Stewart, Walter Earl of Atholl (I17940)

| 7502 | Walter Stewart's birth has not be identified. He resided at Boquhapple farm, about 1 km southwest of Thornhill. Stewarts of the South does not have a listing for Boquhapple; he may be listed under Thornhill. Y-DNA results from a descendant of Walter's grandson, Archibald Horn Stewart (though Walter's son James), match with a James Stewart born 1755 in Fife, Scotland. James Stewart (son of Walter) was married to Robina Horn whose parents came from Fife to Kincardine. This DNA result indicates a likelihood that Walter Stewart came from Fife rather than Perthshire and may explain why he has not been successfully identified in Stewarts of the South. The DNA haplogroup for this family is R-A15554, the origins of which are currently unknown. It does not descend from the Ancient High Stewards in any known way and only has two testers. All that is known of its origins is 18th century Fife. Possible matches in Stewarts of the South: - "there was one Walter Stewart once Tenant Breas of Down" (John Dubh na Strone, Glenbuckie VI) - Charles and Duncan Stewart in Buchlyvie (Gartnafuaran) Duncan Stewart in Buchlive: "I forgot to mention to you that Charles Stewart, [the] saddler in Buchlive, had a brother called Duncan Stewart, [who was a] tenant of Paddock-ha’ in Erskine of Cardross’ estate, [in] Port [of Menteith] Parish, whose wife is a widow in the Parish of Gargonock, and has six or seven sons, some of them come to manhood, and some under age, all doing well, and scattered in service over the country." (Appendix, Gartnafuaran family) - "James Stewart, [a] maltman and farmer in Bochlive, in the estate of Graham of Gartmore, [in] Kippen parish. Rent £100. [He has] three sons." (Stewarts in Buchlyvie, Grantully 4-Line) Walter Stewart could fit with any of these. A member-submitted tree shows Walter being born 1726 March 27th Walter, son to Thomas Stewart and Christan Mcfarland. Witnesses Jo and Jas Stewarts, in fornication? (Kincardine OPR) I think this is wrong as it is too early and does not match onomastics at all. Other possibilities are: - 1728 Janry 16 Unknown, John Stewart and Janet Symmons. Witnesses Robt stewart and David Symmons. - 1729 July 3rd Walter, son to James Turnbull and Marjory Stewart in fornication. Witnesses Tho. Gosmor and Rot Turnbull. - 1730 August 9th Unknown, to John Stewart and Janet Symmons. Witnesses Robt stewart and David Symmons. - 1730 Septr 20 Unkown, twins to Thomas Stewart and Helin Edie. Witnesses Wm and Jo. Stewarts. - 1754 June 30th ___, to George Stewart. | Stewart, Walter in Boquhapple (I26519)
|
| 7503 | Walter Stewart's birth was registered in 1848. He is not found with his family in 1851 or any later census record. It is presumed that he died in infancy. | Stewart, Walter (I17726)
|
| 7504 | Walter Stewart's date of birth is estimated based on the facts that he received lands in his own name in 1498 and 1500, and based on the estimated dates of birth for the children of his father's first marriage. Walter's place of birth is not known, but is presumed to be the family estate of Baldorran. "Walter Stewart, 3rd of Baldorran, was a son by his father’s second marriage and is so-styled when included in a charter by Robert Menzies of Comrie for the lands of Emmercrutage and Croftinderry in favour of William Stewart and Mariote Campbell for the duration of their lives and to their son, Walter, for the duration of his own life dated at Lochtay on 5 October 1498. He had a charter for the lands of Duchlas, in the Earldom of Lennox, from his father on 14 September 1500 and was witness to a charter by Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy for the lands of Schian in favour of his brother John Campbell of Auchreoch on 16 April 1513." (MacGregor) Duncan Stewart (1739) says: "Walter Stewart of Baldorran, obtained from King James IV a Charter of Confirmation of the lands of Duchlass, dated at Faulkland, 14th of September, 1500. This Walter sold Baldorran to William Livingston of Kilsyth about the year 1524 [sic - It was his son James who sold Baldorran], and after that was designed sometimes Baldorran and sometimes of Balquhidder, he being King's Baillie there. He purchased from Janet Oquhanan [Buchanan], a wadset-right she had upon some lands in Strathyre in the shire of Perth, as appears by a charter in his favours of the said lands, dated in 1528. He died in the year 1575 [sic - MacGregor has uncovered evidence that he died in 1546], or some short time before it, in the Faith and Peace of Queen Mary, as the writ bears. He married Eupham Reddoch, daughter to James Reddoch, Burgess of Stirling, Comptroller of Scotland, and Laird of Cultibragan, by whom he had issue, William and John. To William, he gave the lands of Duchlass in Dumbartonshire, which is confirmed by a charter under the Great Seal in 1545. He provides the estate of Duchlass to the heirs-male of his son, William's body, which failing, to John Stewart, his son also, but it seems they both died without issue. Walter had [illegible] wife a natural son, James, who was legitimated under the Great Seal in 1555, and the father is then alive, for he is designed simply, Filius natural Walter Stewart, de Baldorran." Walter married Euphemia, daughter of James Reidheugh, 1st of Tulliechettill, with whom he had a charter for the lands of Islanwragan from Janet, daughter and heiress of David Oquhanie, with consent of Charles Campbell, her eldest son and heir, on 18 July 1528, (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) | Stewart, Walter 3rd of Baldorran and Royal Baillie of Balquhidder (I17929)
|
| 7505 | Walter Stewart's first son is unnamed but is described in Stewarts of the South as being a cottager in Duncraggan and as having "two sons [who are] minors." | Stewart, Alexander in Duncraggan (I27813)
|
| 7506 | Walter Stewart, 6th of Garchell, was compelled to subscribe to a Bond of Caution that he would keep the peace and also pay all damages which he had occasioned for intromitting with the teinds and duties of the Lordship of Coldingham in 1622. He sold the lands of Garchell to Robert Muschet of Craighead. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) There are no further records pertaining to Walter Stewart, including whether he had children. Stewarts of the South refers to descendants of the Stewarts of “Gachoille” who lived in Balfron, Stirlingshire, Scotland, a mere 5 km (3 miles) from Garchell. It is believed that “Gachoille” is a transcription error for “Garchoille” and the the Stewart families in Balfron descend either from this Walter Stewart or possibly from another member of the Stewarts of Garchell. The possible descendants of Walter Stewart are presented below. | Stewart, Walter 6th of Garchell (I17933)
|
| 7507 | Walter Stewart, a subtenant in Strone, Upper Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, had an eldest son whose name is not known. He was deceased by the time Stewarts of the South was written c. 1815. This un-named son is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Walter Stewart, brother to [the] foresaid Duncan had two sons: first of them dead." This un-named son has not been identified in public records. Nothing more is known of him. | Stewart, _____ in Strone (I29561)
|
| 7508 | Walter succeeded his father as a tacksman at Brig o' Turk. He was expelled from Brig o' Turk by the Earl of Moray for cutting down an oak tree without permission and thereafter lived in reduced circumstances as a cottar in Glenfinglas. "Walter, son to John Stewart and Isabel Graham in Baleich was born the 30th day of March and baptized the first day of April 1765 by Mr Charles Rose at Donan." (Aberfoyle OPR) Stewarts of the South says: "He was, some years ago, turned out of that farm for some misconduct or other. His mother (sic. grandmother) was of Balchallan. It was for the small crime of cutting an oak tree [that] he was turned out and he denied the charge, but it was proven and no argument would prevail with the Earl of Murray to let him stay because of not letting the truth. But other people were undermining him. He had one eighth of Glenfinglas. He is now (ca. 1815) a poor cottager -- a real contrast of his progenitors, which shows the uncertainty of human affairs." Stewarts of the South also mentions that he had four sons, but does not mention their names. In 1794, Walter Stewart in Brig o' Turk was a witness to a house search warrant served by Henrietta Murray-McGregor, his future sister-in-law, against her brother James Murray-McGregor for non-payment of debt. Walter Stewart is cited twice in the Aberfoyle Kirk Session minutes for fornication, as follows: 1796 28th Feb, 1st March Margaret Mccallum in Craigughly, father Walter Stewart Serjeant Dumbartonshire Fencibles 1799 23rd, 27th & 30th June & 14th Augt. Walter Stewart Tenant in Bridge of Turk father of child of Margaret McCallum in Wester Craigughty Second child, first 1796 The names and genders of these children are not identified. They are not found in the Aberfoyle OPR. Based on the reference in Stewarts of the South indicating that Walter had four sons, it is presumed that these two unnamed children were sons. "The Dumbarton Fencibles was raised by Colonel Campbell of Stonefield in 1794. The regiment was first stationed in Guernsey, and in 1797 was moved to Ireland, being reduced to 500 the previous year. The Dumbarton Fencibles were actively employed during the Irish Rebellion. The regiment returned to Scotland in 1802, and was disbanded the same year." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_Fencible_Corps) "[At Guernsey, in 1796, the regiment] was reduced to 500 men-orders being issued to discharge all above that number. In consequence of this measure the regiment was benefited by the dismissal of some indifferent characters recruited in Glasgow and other adjacent towns; so that, although reduced in numbers, it gained in character." (Sketches of The Character, Manners, and Present State of the Highlanders of Scotland, Major-General David Stewart of Garth. https://electricscotland.com/history/sketches/highlandsketches97.htm) Whether Walter Stewart was one of the "indifferent" soldiers dismissed in 1796 is unknown, but the birth dates of his children suggest he was back home in Aberfoyle almost immediately. Walter is presumed to have married about 1800 to Polly McGregor although no record of their marriage has been found. Their children are described as lawful. In the early 1800s, following the birth of her two natural children, Walter's sister, Jean Stewart, is repeatedly cited in the Callander Kirk Session minutes for various transgressions in which she is identified as Mrs Paterson alias Jean Stewart, sister of Walter Stewart at Bridge of Turk. In 1801, Walter Stewart at Bridge of Turk is cited in the Aberfoyle Kirk Session minutes as a witness for Agnes Campbell against William Strang. William Strang was the intimate partner of Walter's sister, Jean. In 1802, Walter Stewart at Bridge of Turk is mentioned in the Aberfoyle Kirk Session minutes in a citation regaring his sister, Jean Stewart, in reference to one of her illegitimate children. No death or burial record has been found for Walter Stewart. He is not found in the 1841 census and is presumed to have died before 1841. | Stewart, Sgt. Walter 3rd in Brig o' Turk (I24629)

| 7509 | Walter T. Mcintyre, age 81, of Seaside, Oregon, formerly of Bellflower, died at 3 a.m. Thursday, May 9, 1991 at Providence Seaside Hospital, Seaside. A memorial service will be scheduled. Hughes-Ransom Mortuary of Seaside is in charge of the arrangements. Mr. McIntyre was born February 20, `90 at Bellflower, a son of Hugh and Belle Jordan McIntyre. He married Lora Lou Jackson, who survives. Other survivors include one son, David of Portland, Oregon; one daughter, Mary Ethel Potter of Portland; and one sister, Freda Horine of rural Arrowsmith. Mr. McIntyre who attended Illinois Wesleyan University was owner of McIntyre Travel, Klamath Falls, Oregon for 25 years. He had been employed by United Airlines for 15 years. He was a member of the Seaside United Methodist Church and Seaside Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks Lodge 1247. Walter married firstly and later divorce Irma Ruth Niles. He married secondly to Lora Lou Jackson | McIntyre, Walter Theodore (I9746)
|
| 7510 | Walter was a student of Divinity who had completed his studies, been licensed to preach, been presented to a congregation, and tragically died only a week before he was due to be ordained. Walter Stewart graduated in 1806 from the University of Glasgow. "(1806) 6993 Gualterus Stewart, Filius Natu Maximus Jacobie Acricolae in parochia de Callander in comitatu de Perth." (The Matriculation Albums of the University of Glasgow from 1728-1858) Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "James [sic "Walter"], [who is] a minister who got a parish from the Earl of Moray in the North (that of Alloa) [sic "Alves"]; the first Stewarts that ever had a presentation from that family." The confusion in Stewarts of the South between Walter and James arises because Walter's brother James was also a student of Divinity who also died prior to ordination. Walter is described in the Fasti Ecclesia for Alves parish in the presbytery of Elgin as follows: "Walter Stuart, licensed by the Presbytery of Dunblane, a probationer resident in Edinburgh; was presented by Francis, Earl of Moray, before 3rd Nov. 1818. He died at Elgin, 27th April 1819, his ordination having been fixed for 6th May." Walter's burial is recorded in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions in Callander cemetery: "195 by Alexander STUART, in memory of (his) brother Walter, died at Elgin 27 APR 1819, age 23, and brother James (a student) in Divinity died (at) Bracklinn 29 APR 1822, age 25." | Stewart, Walter (I17725)
|
| 7511 | Walter was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, but later moved Bayham Township, Elgin County, Ontario, Canada, where his father was born. In 1871, Walter was residing in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, as a young boy with his parents and siblings. In 1881, Walter was residing in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, as a boy with his parents and siblings. In 1891, Walter was residing in Bayham, Elgin, Ontario, Canada, on the farm of his grandparents, Duncan and Margaret Stewart. He was employed as a farmer. In 1901, Walter was residing in Bayham, Elgin, Ontario, Canada with his new wife and young son, John. Walter was residing on the farm of his uncle, John D Brown, where he was working as a farmer for his uncle. (John D Brown was born 13 Dec 1826 in Ireland. His wife Mary A Brown was born 11 Jun 1820 in the USA.) In 1921, Walter was residing in Bayham, Elgin, Ontario, Canada with his wife and children. He was employed as a farmer on his own farm. After Walter's wife, Clara Howell, died, he married her sister, Margaret. | Stewart, Walter Drummond (I17902)
|
| 7512 | Walter was the grandfather of a later, Andrew Stewart, 2nd Lord Avendale in 1501. From this Andrew came three sons, Andrew Stewart, 3rd Lord of Avondale, later Lord Ochiltree; Henry Stewart created Lord Methven in 1528; and James Stewart of Beith, father of James, Lord Doune. Walter was also the ancestor of the Earls of Castle-Stuart in Ireland. Walter was witness to a charter in 1482 so was still alive at that time. Walter was ancestor of the Stewart families of Avendale, Ochiltree, Methven, Moray, Dunern and others. | Stewart, Walter 1st of Morphie (I17946)
|
| 7513 | Walter was the posthumous and illegitimate son of PatrickStuart and Jemima Matthews. Walter's father, Patrick Stewart's will was written in 1777. It names the unborn child of his mistress, Jemima Williams. It would appear therefore that Patrick knew he was going to die before his future son would be born. Patrick's father, William's will, drafted in 1778 mentions Patrick's infant son, Walter, by name, so Walter must have been born after 14 Dec 1777, when his father died, and before 2 Aug 1778, when his grandfather died. In 1816, Walter was residing in Wikinson, Mississippi, USA. In 1820, Walter Stewart was residing in Wilkinson, Mississippi, USA, with the following household members: 1 male 26-44 (Walter age 42) 1 female 26-44 (wife Jane) 1 male 16-25 (James D Stuart) 2 males 10-15 (unknown, possibly younger children) 4 males under 10 (unknown) 2 females under 10 (daughter Pauline plus unknown) 8 enslaved persons 19 other persons not taxed 38 persons total | Stuart, Walter (I17748)
|
| 7514 | Walter's birth is double registered in the Balquhidder OPR. The first registration leaves his name as blank. The second registration was written in years later and records his name as Walter. Walter is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South so it would normally be suggested that he died as a child. However, as the next brother, Peter, is not found in the OPR it is also possible that either Stewarts of the South simply got Peter's name incorrect and that it was really Walter who lived in Blartannach, or it's possible that the later registration in the OPR was mistaken and his name was really Peter. | Stewart, Walter (I17750)
|
| 7515 | Walter's birth is not listed in the Callander OPR. In 1851, at age 9, Walter Stewart was residing with his parents at Brig o' Turk in Callander Perthshire, Scotland. He has not been found in later census records. He is presumed to have died or emigrated to an unknown location. | Stewart, Walter (I24465)

| 7524 | Washington Post, 14 Feb 2013 "Mr. Pittman spent nearly his entire career as a lawyer with the Washington firm of Shaw, Pittman, Potts & Trowbridge. A veteran of government commissions, he rose to national attention in 1961 when [President John F] Kennedy named him assistant secretary of defense in charge of civil defense. After graduating from Yale University in 1941, the younger Pittman worked in Asia for a subsidiary of Pan American World Airways that delivered supplies to the Flying Tigers, the U.S. volunteers fighting alongside the Chinese against Japan. Mr. Pittman joined the Marine Corps after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and served alongside Chinese guerrillas. He received the Silver Star for his actions while commanding a Chinese junk in the East China Sea that came under enemy fire shortly after the Japanese surrender in 1945. The commander of the enemy junk - ultimately defeated - apparently did not know, or could not bring himself to believe, that the war was over. Mr. Pittman received a law degree from Yale in 1948 and worked in Washington as a government lawyer assigned to the Marshall Plan for postwar economic recovery in Europe. In 1954, he helped found Shaw, Pittman, Potts & Trowbridge (now Pillsbury, Winthrop, Shaw & Pittman). His specialties included aviation law and international investment finance and trade. Mr. Pittman retired about 25 years ago, but he maintained an office at the law firm until his death. He resided on Dodon Farm, a 550-acre tract in Davidsonville founded by his family six generations earlier, and presided over the property for decades. His first marriage, to the former Antoinette Pinchot, ended in divorce. She later was married to and divorced from Benjamin C. Bradlee, the former executive editor of The Post. Survivors include his wife of 54 years, Barbara White Pittman of Dodon Farm and Washington; four children from his first marriage, Andrew Pittman of Bethesda, Nancy Pittman Pinchot of New Haven, Conn., Rosamond Pittman Casey of Charlottesville and Tamara Pittman of New York City; three children from his second marriage, Patricia Pittman, Steuart Pittman Jr. and Romey Pittman, all of Dodon Farm; and 15 grandchildren." (Washington Post, 14 Feb 2013) He married twice and had children from both marriages. The rest of his family are not shown here. | Pittman, Steuart Lansing Sr. of Dodon (I21453)

|
| 7533 | We have no record of Hugh's birth to verify his date of birth. The date shown here is an estimate. However, the estimate has significant implications. Was Hugh born before or after 1712? Hugh Stewart is referred to in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) as "Hugh Stewart of Carse of Cambus, eldest son of John Stewart, and cousin-german of Archibald Stewart, second of Glassingall." He is also shown in several trees submitted in evidence as being the eldest son of John Stewart of Ballacauich and Lendrick, and being the older brother of Archibald Stewart of Lendrick. He is also shown as the father of James Stewart of Carse of Cambus. However, these trees cannot be trusted as entirely reliable as there was an enormous financial motive for bias in their drafting as whichever brother was eldest, his descendants would have a superior claim to inherit the estate of Glassingall. The submission of Robert Stewat of Ardvorlich is the sole dissenting account that claims that Hugh was the younger son and Archibald was the older son. Onomastics, chronology and estate ownership favour Ardvorlich's version that Hugh was the younger son. John would have named his eldest son after his own father, Archibald, and his second son after his wife's father, Hugh McFarlane. Archibald was married in 1739 whereas Hugh was not married until 1745. Archibald inherited Lendrick (believed to be the superior property) while Hugh inherited Ballacaish. While only circumstantial, these all suggest that Archibald was the older son. For Hugh to be the older son would require that John had an earlier son named Archibald who died in infancy and who (like Hugh) was not recorded, and that Hugh waited until his late 30s to get married, and that Ballacaish was actually the superior estate. The latter case is entirely possible and cannot be ruled out, however it seems to be the lesser likely. Thus, we show Hugh's birth as estimated to be after 1712 and we place him as the younger son. Furthermore, Stewarts of the South lists Donald Stewart of Lendrick (son of Archibald) ahead of this Hugh Stewart, further suggesting that the Lendrick family is senior to the Ballachaish family. Hugh is mentioned in the testimony of Robert Stewart in Buchany in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856): "Declared that he was personally acquainted with Alexander Stewart late tenant in Carse of Cambus who is now at Blairdrummond Moss and that he was also acquainted with his father James Stewart who was tenant in Carse of Cambus, and was buried in Kilmadock Churchyard in 1826. That he also knew John Stewart Merchant in Kippen, who was the brother of James last mentioned, and the father of Dr Stewart of Glasgow, and John Graham Stewart also in Glasgow. Declares that the father of John and James above mentioned was Hugh Stewart, who was first a tenant in Ballacaish, under Mr Stewart of Craigton, which adjoins Annat, and afterwards in Carse of Cambus, and that Hugh is also buried in Kilmadock Churchyard. That Hugh Stewart was first married to Margaret Buchanan, who was the mother of John Stewart in Kippen, and second to Janet [Duncandow] who was the mother of Janet Stewart in Carse of Cambus. That Hugh Stewart was son of John Stewart tenant first in Ballacaish aforesaid, and afterwards in Lendrick which was one of the forfeited farms on the Perth estate." "Hugh Stewart was first married to Margaret Buchanan, who was the mother of John Stewart in Kippen, and second to Janet [Duncandow] who was the mother of Janet Stewart in Carse of Cambus." Stewarts of the South, Ardvorlich Branch VIII, Line 4, gives this family as: "Hugh Stewart, uncle to the foregoing Donald Stewart, tacksman of the Carse of Camus, near Down (Doune) Lodge, Earl’s estate. Rent £100. He left five sons: a. James, a tenant there with one son. b. John, a merchant vintner and farmer in the village of Kippen, Stirlingshire. He has four sons: 1-4. One of them is a surgeon in Glasgow, and the rest are at home - not this one, a writer, the third is a merchant in Glasgow, and the fourth at home. (It is uncertain what the author means by “the rest are at home” as the third son is in Glasgow, not at home.) c. Alexander Stewart, a merchant in Glasgow with one son. d. Hugh Stewart, a wright in Glasgow with sons, but I am not certain of their number. e. Archibald, a wright in Stirling, with a family of sons, but of their number I am not certain." Hugh Stewart's testament 6 Feb 1773: "The Testament Dative and Inventory of the debts and sums of Hugh Stewart that pertained and were addebted to the deceased Hugh Stewart, tenant in Kerse of Cambus within the Parish of Kilmadock and Commissariat of Dunblane at the time of his decease which was upon the BLANK day of BLANK and BLANK years.

| 7534 | We have no record of Patrick Stewart's birth. He is estimated to have been born around 1500, but this is uncertain. It is presumed that he was born in Glen Buckie, likely in Dallanlaggan. Duncan Stewart (1739), says the following: "Patrick married, first, a daughter of Lecky of that Ilk, secondly, he married a daughter to Edmonstron of Broich. He had twelve sons that came to maturity, but died himself without issue, only the eldest left a daughter. He had likewise three daughters, one married to Shaw of Cambusmoir, another to James Stewart, Ardvorlich's predecessor, and the third to Andrew, predecessor to Gartnafauaroe. This Patrick had moreover a natural son, Walter." This tells us that Patrick had twelve sons who died before their father and without children, with one exception: the eldest son who had a daughter. We know the identity of that son from an instrument of resignation of 15 October 1552, drawn up at Perth by Patrick Stewart of Glenbuckie and his wife Margaret Lekky, in favour of their son Robert Stewart and his spouse Katherine Kennedy. This tells us that the name of the only surviving lawful son was Robert. However, even Robert did not live long enough to inherit from his father. Duncan Stewart (1739) also tells us that the eldest son had a daughter about whom we know nothing more, nor do we know the name of her father, Patrick's eldest son. Further, Duncan Stewart (1739) mentions that Patrick had three daughters and an illegitimate son named Walter. The Stewarts of the South entry for Glenbuckie Branch X indicates that branch descends from "a natural son of the Glenbuckie with 12 sons", namely this Patrick Stewart. This would mean that Branch X must descend from Walter Stewart as the only known illegitimate son. A Bond of Manrent from 1586 to Duncan Campbell of Glenurquhay lists several Stewarts who were sons and grandsons of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbucke and his brother, Duncan Stewart, latterly 3rd of Glenbuckie. These include: Johne Dow Stewart, son to Patrk Stewart in Dallielaggane. (Naming custom would suggest that he is Patrick's eldest son.) James Stewart in Glenfinglas and his sons, John, Duncan and Alastair. Walter Stewart in Balliefoyille and his son, Robert. (see entry for Duncan Stewart, 3rd of Glenbuckie for the remainder.) Patrick inherited Glenbuckie from his father and then, despite the large size of his family, he himself died with no surviving lawful sons to pass the estate to. Glenbuckie then passed to Patrick's younger brother, Duncan. | Stewart, Patrick in Dallanlaggan 2nd of Glenbuckie (I17483)

| 7539 | When Elizabeth's full brother John Stewart, 13th of Glenbuckie, died she inherited Glenbuckie. According to Stewarts of the South, Betty married David Stewart of Craig Ruidh, Balquhidder of the Stewarts of Glenogle, Cloichglas, or Hyndfield, of the Gartnafuaran family. Thus David Stewart of Craig Ruidh became 14th of Glenbuckie. When Elizabeth died, Glenbuckie passed to her son, John Stewart, who became 15th of Glenbuckie. John is described in Stewarts of the South as a poor manager and a big spender and was at risk of spending the full worth of the estate. To protect herself against bankruptcy, Elizabeth bound herself to several tutors including her half-brother, Capt. Duncan Stewart. On Elizabeth's death when the estate passed fully into John's care, Meanwhile, Dr. David Stewart in Auchnahard, son of Alexander Stewart, 10th of Glenbuckie, attempted unsuccessfully to reclaim Glenbuckie. So reviled was Elizabeth for her part in swindling the estate of Glenbuckie away from its rightful heirs that the author of Stewarts of the South described her as "a daughter named Betty, a half idiot, [who] succeed her brother in the estate being heir-at-law" and later in the document could only bring himself to refer to her as "a lady of the name of Stewart in our country, whose name I shall not mention here." Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "Elizabeth Stewart of Glenbuckie, succeeded her brother John on his death and was served heir to him in the lands of Glenbuckie on 17 February 1768. She married David Stewart of Craigruaidh." MacGregor also shows only one marriage for David Stewart of Craigrui and shows Grisel and Elizabeth Stewart as the same person. | Stewart, Elizabeth Heiress of Glenbuckie (I15608)

| 7541 | While Duncan later referred to himself in America as Duncan Sr. to differentiate himself from his son, Duncan Jr., he was actually Duncan III when accounting for the previous Scottish generations. While Duncan later referred to himself in America as "Duncan Sr." to differentiate himself from his son, Duncan Jr., he was actually Duncan III when accounting for the previous Scottish generations. Duncan later became a prosperous businessman in Detroit, Michigan, USA. It's possible that he was completely self-made, but it seems more likely that he may have inherited the residue of the former Tulloch family estate. To Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada Sometime prior to 1838, Duncan Stewart immigrated to Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada, where his distant cousin Duncan Stewart Jr., in Kirkline & St. Anicet, son of Duncan Stewart, Sr. in Clachglass (3-Line of the Stewarts in Tulloch, shown below) had been living since 1818. It is suspected that (this) Duncan's uncle, James Stewart, who "went to America" had also immigrated to Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada in 1818. Duncan's later obituary indicates that he served as a Captain in the Canadian Rebellion of 1838. It does not indicate which side he fought for. In 1843, Duncan Stewart married in Valleyfield, Quebec, Canada, to Jane Bell. The marriage register says they were living in Huntingdon, Quebec at the time. To Stratford, Perth, Ontario, Canada After their marriage, Duncan Stewart and Jane Bell moved to Stratford, Perth, Ontario, Canada where was a substantial new settlement of Scottish immigrants in nearby North Easthope including another Stewart family who descended from the Stewarts of Ardvorlich who had also come by way of Huntingdon, Quebec. It's possible that they travelled together. It was in Stratford that Duncan and Jane's first documented son, James, was born in 1845. It is suspected that James may have been named after his Duncan's uncle, James Stewart, who "went to America" about 1818 (prior to the authoring of Stewarts of the South.) To Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA In 1845, Duncan immigrated to Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA, where he became a highly successful and prosperous merchant. In 1850, at age 31, Duncan Stewart was residing in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA with his wife and son, James. He was employed as a labourer. Given the two year gap (1843-1845) between Duncan and Jane's marriage and the birth of their first documented child, James, and the five year gap (1845-1850) between the birth of James and their appearance in the 1850 census, it's possible, if not likely, that Duncan and Jane had other children born during these gap years whose names are not recorded and who did not survive. Duncan Stewart was a prominent member of Fort Street Presbyterian Church, founded in 1849. He helped fund the cost of the construction of the new sanctuary in 1855. "When first constructed, Fort Street Presbyterian Church sat in the middle of a wealthy neighborhood where many leaders of industry lived. These leaders envisioned a Protestant church with a congregation that looked a lot like them." (https://www.fortstreet.org/history) In 1860, at age 40, Duncan Stewart was residing in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA with his wife and children. He was employed as a corn(?) merchant. (It may also read "cow, coin, or com" merchant. Corn is preferred as his brother John was a grain merchant.) He is recorded as owning $10,000 in real estate and $5,000 in personal estate. (Equivalent to about $600,000 in 2024.) He had two household servants. Residing next door was his 27-year-old brother, John Stewart, a clerk, and his family. In 1863, at age 44, Duncan is listed in U.S. Civil War Draft Registration as being a corn (or cow) merchant in Detroit, Michigan, USA. In 1870, at age 50, Duncan Stewart was residing in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA, with his wife and children. He was employed as a "commission man." In 1873, there was an economic panic in the US, the UK and Europe, leading to a massive depression. In response, Duncan Stewart closed his business and retired. In 1880, at age 60, Duncan Stewart was residing on Turnbull Ave in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA, with his wife and three of his adult children. He is listed as a retired merchant. Sometime after 1880 Duncan Stewart returned to Fintry, Scotland to erect a gravestone for his parents in Fintry cemetery. Duncan Stewart died in 1897 in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan, USA. Obituary: By the death of Duncan Stewart, this city loses one of its faithful, old-time citizens, who twenty five years ago occupied the foremost rank among Detroit's enterprising public spirited men. Since business disasters came upon him in the panic times of 1873, Mr. Stewart has lived in compariative retirement. His death will now recall to the otlder citizens the sturdy character and honest worth of this Scotch-American who for over twenty years was so hoorably identified with the best life of this city. While the younger generation that has grown into manhood since the days of his activity may know nothing of this genial gentleman, the older residents who can look back to the days of "Auld Lang Syne," still have a warm place in their hearts for Duncan Stewart, and will be grieved to learn of his death. The newspaper article about his son James' ethereal experience around the death of his father, refers to Duncan Stewart as "Capt. Stewart." | Stewart, Capt. Duncan Sr (I26347)

| 7542 | While her older sisters were born in India, census records indicate that Helen was born in Scotland. In 1881, she was residing with her aunt Charlotte Roberts nee Stewart in Kensington, England along with her sisters, Lilian and Ethel and her cousin Eva, under the care of a governess. | Stewart, Helen Lucy (I15657)

| 7543 | While the rest of her siblings were all born in either Lancaster or Manchester, Lancashire, England, Elizabeth Angus was born 5 Oct 1869 in Kirkaldy, Fifeshire, Scotland. Her birth was also registered in Lancaster, Lancashire, England, a year later on 5 Oct 1870. Baptismal records and later census records confirm that this anomaly is accurate. It's possible that this location may be a clue to the Angus family's original origin, but the passage of 150 years in Lancashire may mean it's just a coincidence. In 1871, at age 1, Elizabeth Angus was residing at 5 Bridge Lane in Castle Ward, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with her parents and siblings. The census records her birth location as Fife, Scotland. In 1881, at age 11, Elizabeth Angus was residing at 49 Bridge Lane in Castle Ward, Lancaster, Lancashire, England with her parents and siblings. Her birth location was recorded as Scotland. On 24 Nov 1889, at age 20, Elizabeth Angus married in Lunesdale, Halton, Lancashire, England to 19-year-old John Stockdale In 1891 at age 21, newly married Elizabeth Stockdale was residing at 123 New Street in Caton, Lunesdale, Halton, Lancashire, England, with her husband, in the home of her parents. Her place of birth was given as Scotland. In 1901, at age 31, Elizabeth Stockdale was residing at 91 High Road in Caton, Lunesdale, Halton, Lancashire, England, with her husband, a paint works labourer, and their children. Her place of birth is shown as Fife, Scotland. In 1911, at age 42, Elizabeth Stockdale was residing at 16 Kirkby Terrace in Halton, Lancashire, England, with her husband, a painter's labourer, and their children. Her place of birth is given as Fifeshire, Scotland. | Angus, Elizabeth (I184)

| 7544 | While we have no record directly referring to John as John Dubh Stewart, his grandson's byname, Mceandowie ("son/descendant of Iain Dubh/Black John") indicates that John was referred to as Dubh. John is believed to be the John Stewart in Portre (Portnellan) in "1620, 6th July, RPC vol. XII, p.317 - Commissioned by Lord Hay with Johnne Stewart in Portre and Johnne and Alexander Stewart in Glenfinglas to apprehend and try Johnne Roy McDuff in Rannache for stealing under cloud and silence of night 4ky and ane meir pertaining to Donald McEanlay (McKinley) in Dulater." However, he would have been about 80 years old at the time. Thus, Johnne and Alexander in Glen Finglas likely carried out th commission. Duncan Stewart (1739) says: "His predecessor was John, brother to Alexander of Ardvorlich and son to James, son of Walter Stewart of Baldorran.This John's son was Alexander." According to The Kennedy-Annat Tree, John was born in 1540 and died in 1600. The reliability of these dates is not known. but seems to contradict Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions. According to Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions, there is a stone in Kilmadock cemetery situated amidst the other Stewarts of Annat stones, being the oldest one, which reads, "1614. JS MH// HS." It seems likely this refers to this John dying in 1614 and that his wife's initials were MH. The HS is on a second line and may indicate a child's name. | Stewart, John Dubh 1st of Portnellan (I16671)

| 7548 | Wilbur was born in 1894 in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada. He went by the nickname, "Wib." In 1901 he was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada as a young boy with his parents and siblings. In 1911 Wilbur was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with his parents and siblings. He was employed as a clerk. In 1917, his WWI attestation papers show him as single. He was employed as a clerk at the time. In 1921, Wilbur was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with his parents and brother, David. His name was incorrectly recorded as William. His later whereabouts and status are unknown. There are no further records about him. Family records incorrectly suggest that he may have died in WWI, but he was clearly alive in 1921. | Stewart, Wilbur Tait (I17950)
