801 According to Duncan Stewart (1739), Katharine was the granddaughter to Dougal Kier (Ciar) MacGrigor, ancestor to Innerlocharg and Glengyle. This is chronologically improbably as she was born about 100 years after Dougal Ciar. It appears more likely that she was a great-grandaughter of Dougal Ciar MacGregor.

Onomastics suggest that Katharine's father's name was likely Duncan, but this is not certain. She is shown as the daughter of this Duncan MacGregor merely as a best guess. 
MacGregor, Katherine (I9185)
 
802 According to Duncan Stewart (1739), Patrick Stewart had twelve sons who came to maturity and all but his illegitimate son, Walter, predeceased him. We have been able to identify the names of Johne Dow Stewart in Dallanlaggan, Robert Stewart in Glenbuckie, and James Stewart in Glenfinglas. The remaining seven sons have not been identified. There is no record as to which sons belong to which mother as their father was married twice. Stewart, Seven Sons (I20989)
 
803 According to Duncan Stewart (1739), this Duncan died without issue. Stewart, Duncan (I15737)
 
804 According to Duncan Stewart (1739), Walter was a Lieutenant and had children. Stewarts of the South shows Walter's son as John Stewart in Brig O' Turk.

Alison Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions reads: "Laedere Noli. Lieut. Walter Stewart, wife Agnes Stewart 8.1.1756, age 80, by son John, 1760." It is believed that the 1756 death is Agnes' and the 1760 reference is to the death of Walter.

Walter is mentioned in the following reference in Stewarts of the South:
"But the nearest of them in this country is one Walter Stewart, an unworthy person, [who] was son to John Stewart, [and] was [a] tacksman [of] Wester Bridge of Turk, [belonging to the] Earl [of] Murray [in] Callander parish. His grandfather, Walter Stewart, [was] son to Duncan Stewart, 12th of Glenbuckie (sic -- Stewarts of the South follows, but misunderstands the accounting of Duncan Stewart (1739). This is actually a reference to Duncan Stewart, 8th of Glenbuckie, who married Jean Graham of Duchray) [and Duncan's wife, who was] a daughter to Graham of Dochry (Duchray). He was, some years ago, turned out of that farm for some misconduct or other. His mother (sic. grandmother) was of Balchallan (Ballachallan). 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 a poor cottager -- a real contrast of his progenitors, which shows the uncertainty of human affairs. He has four sons."

Stewarts of the South records that Walter's son John married a daughter of Stewart of Ballachallan, but no such daughter can be found. However Walter's wife, Agnes, is a near exact match for a daughter of Duncan Stewart, 1st of Ballachallan. It is therefore suggested that Stewarts of the South was off by one generation and that it was actually Walter who married a Stewart of Ballachallan.

805 According to family records (see below), James Fisher was born in in 1776 in Glen Quaich, Perthshire, Scotland. His year of birth is calculated from his age at death in Canadain 1858. The most likely birth record for his is:
FISHER, JAMES, son of JOHN FISHER/ (no mother), M, 10/08/1780, Dunkeld.

Family tradition claims that, as a young man, he moved to Balquhidder parish to become a shepherd to the family of Stewarts who had been tenants for four generations in Balliemore in Glen Buckie, just south of the Kirkton of Balquhidder, where James married a daughter of the Stewart family.

Family records indicate that James Fisher and his Stewart wife had three sons, Duncan, Alexander and John, and that the mother died shortly after the birth of the youngest son, John. However, parish records show that John was the oldest son, followed by Duncan and Alexander. These are the only children recorded as born to James Fisher and Janet Stewart in Balquhidder, so it seems likely that she did die after the birth of the youngest son, who was Alexander, not John. However, no record of her death has been found. Family tradition claims that James then returned to Glen Quaich and that his son John Fisher was raised by his uncle John Stewart and spinster aunts, Katie and Kirsty.

It seems unlikely that James Fisher left his one son behind in Balquhidder to be raised by his brother- and sisters-in-law while taking his other two sons back to Glen Quaich to raise by himself. What is far more likely is that they simply all lived in the Stewart household together and that James travelled back and forth between Balquhidder and Glen Quaich.

In 1833, James Fisher emigrated to Canada with his sons, Duncan and Alexander, along with two nephews, John and Alexander Fisher. James' eldest son, John Fisher, remained in Scotland.

James Fisher and his sons, Duncan and Alexander, settled in North Easthope (near Stratford) in Perth County, Ontario, Canada.

James Fisher has not been found in the 1841 census for Canada.

In 1851, at age 76, James Fisher was residing in North Easthope, Perth, Ontario, Canada, with his son Duncan and Duncan's family.

James Fisher died in 1858 in North Easthope, Perth, Ontario, Canada.

History of the Fisher Family by James McIntyre (1904)

James Fisher was born in Glenquaich, Scotland, in the year 1776 and, when a young man, went to Balquidder and was, for many years, a shepherd there. He married in Balquidder a Miss Stewart, one of the family of Stewarts who had, for four generations, been tenants of the Farm of Ballimore. His wife bore him three sons and they were named Duncan, Alexander and John. His wife died, a few years after the birth of John, and the youngest son, John, was taken and raised by his Uncle,
John Stewart, and his Aunts, Katie and Kursty. None of these three Stewarts ever married and he, John Fisher, succeeded them as the tenant of Ballimore. Robert Stewart Fisher, Ballimore, and his Sister, Mrs John Ferguson, West Miggar, Comrie, are the grandson and granddaughter, respectively, of John Fisher.

James Fisher and his two sons, Duncan and Alexander, shortly after the death of his wife, returned to Glenquaich from Balquidder and, several years after, in the year 1833, the three emigrated to Canada and along with them, at the same time, came two nephews, John and Alexander Fisher. James Fisher and his two sons settled and they took up bush lands in North Easthope, near Stratford, Canada. Shortly after their arrival in this country, Alexander, son of James Fisher, took ill with measles and
died, unmarried. James Fisher died in the year 1858 and he was 82 years of age. His son, Duncan, married in Canada Christena NcNaughton, in the year 1839. She was a native of Glenquaich. They had a family of four, one son and three daughters, who are: James Fisher and his sister Jessie, unmarried and now nearly 60 years of age, who live in a pretty cottage they own on St. David Street, Stratford, having given up farming a few years ago, selling their land and stock and now living retired; a sister, Mrs Thomas Hunt, living just outside the limits of the City of Stratford, on a farm they own; a sister, Mrs George Peddie, living in the State of Michigan, who has a family of three sons and four daughters, mostly grown up and some of them married.

James Fisher, Stratford, informs me that he kept up occasional correspondence with his friends in Scotland up to fifteen years ago but, from that date till now, had not hear about or from them. His father, Duncan Fisher, died in 1889, aged 82, and his mother died many years before that. At his father’s death, he sent word to Ballimore but got no reply and he often wondered if the letter ever reached the friends in the
Old Country.

James Fisher and his sister inform me that their uncle, John Fisher of Ballimore, married and had one son named Duncan. John Fisher died when not very old, being accidentally killed by falling off a horse. His son, Duncan, succeeded him as a tenant of Ballimore, when he came of age. He married the worthy lady who is now his widow, living at Ballimore, her maiden name being Stewart, and the issue of this marriage are: Robert Stewart Fisher and Mrs John Ferguson. Duncan Fisher, Ballimore, died about fifteen years ago, when about forty years of age. I have filled in the names of the two youngest to complete the list and Mrs. Fisher, Sr., of Ballimore, will know if the record they give of their friends in Scotland is correct.

John and Alexander Fisher, the nephews of James Fisher who came out with him to Canada in 1833, first settled in Easthope Township, Canada; a few years later, they removed to North Easthope taking up land alongside of many others who, about this time, were coming out from Glenquaich, many of these being relatives of theirs. From between the years 1831 and 1850, between 200 and 300 emigrated from Glenquiach to Canada, most of them settling and taking up bush farms in this Township. John and Alexander Fisher had large families of sons and daughters. Some of their sons and daughters married and have families. One son and one daughter of John and two daughters of Alexander are living and there are a great number of the grandchildren of both living in North Easthope, Stratford, Toronto, Winnipeg, British Columbia, and elsewhere in Canada. One of John’s sons, James Fisher, is an eminent barrister and King’s Counsel, living in Winnipeg. He has been a member of the Provincial Parliament of Manitoba. I am informed that he and his wife were in Scotland twenty-seven years ago and, when there, visited Ballimore. Mrs Fisher, Sr., may have some recollection of this visit. The descendants of the three nephews of James Fisher, being a little farther removed in relationship to the friends in Scotland, I have not considered it necessary to give in as much detail as I have given the parental line but, if desired, it could be furnished.

806 According to family records Alexander Stewart and Sarah MacGregor had a daughter named Catharine born in 1806. Stewart, Catherine (I15395)
 
807 According to family records Marion married to John Whyte (of) Glendevon. Marion died in 1867 and her niece Ann Ferguson was witness. Marion is found in 1841 residing with her 65 year old husband John Whyte at #1 Callander. They are residing with Marion's sister Elisabeth Ramsay nee Stewart (transcribed as "Ramsaur" and Elisabeth's children, Patrick and Ann. Marion is found in 1851 (trascribed as "Marron White") residing at 18 West End, Callander, born in 1800 in Callander, shown as a proprietor of house and residing with her 7 year old niece, Ann Ferguson. Marion is found in 1861 at 16 Main Street in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland as a proprietrix of houses, residing with her 35 year old nephew, Robert McLaren. Marion appears to be widowed and is shown as born in 1802 in Callander. John and Marion appear to have had no children. It appears likely that John Whyte is probably the brother of James Whyte of "Devonhill" who married Margaret Stewart of the Auchnahard family and also resided in Callander and is also buried in Kilmahog. Stewart, Marion (I17514)
 
808 According to family records, Alexander was born in Aberdour (now called New Aberdour), Aberdeenshire, Scotland, however this is unlikely and is more likely a confusion with his later residence. Alexander's birth family owned Hythie in Old Deer parish and Alexander's first two children were both born in Old Deer parish (probably at Hythie) and it was not until sometime between 1801-1810 that Alexander appears to have moved to Aberdour. Thus, Alexander was far more likely to have been born at Hythie in Old Deer. According to the memoirs of Alexander's son, George Stewart, Alexander died at Copland Hill near Peterhead and is buried in the parish churchyard at Fetterangus. Stewart, Alexander in New Aberdour (I15083)
 
809 According to family records, Duncan and his brother John were apprenticing in Renfrew in 1795 as weavers. Duncan is recorded in Stewarts of the South as being a manufacturer in Glasgow with two underage sons in 1815.

In 1841, at age 60, Duncan Stewart, born 1781 in Scotland, was residing at 50 Bridge Street, Gorbals, Lanarkshire, Scotland, employed as a warper.

In 1851, at age 70, Duncan Stewart, born 1781 in Balquhidder, was residing at 50 Bridge Street, Gorbals, Lanarkshire, Scotland, employed as a cotton warper.

Duncan is not found in 1861, but his widow Janet was residing at 50 Bridge St., Govan, Tradeston, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, with her daughter Janet and son Robert. 
Stewart, Duncan (I15768)
 
810 According to family records, James as the son of William Armour and Lewis Thomson. James died from drowing in the Clyde River about 1873 when his son William was only an infant. Armour, James (I77)
 
811 According to family records, Janet Stewart immigrated to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada in the 1920s with her sister Margaret Stewart. Public records show a different story.

Janet's sister Margaret immigrated in 1926 and arrived in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, bound for Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. However, in 1931, she was found residing in Westmount, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, working as a domestic servant. A matching Janet Stewart is also found in 1931 in Westmount, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, working as a domestic servant. It is suggested therefore, that Janet moved to Cape Breton after 1931.

Janet married a man named Walker whose first name is not known. 
Stewart, Janet Cissy (I21116)
 
812 According to family records, Jock and Joan Stewart had a son, whose name is not given, who went to sea and was never heard from again. Stewart, Son (I22004)
 
813 According to family records, Malcolm McNaughtan wrote home from North America to his "only brother" John McNaughtan in Glen Lyon. McNaughton, John (I10861)
 
814 According to family records, Margaret ("Peggy") immigrated to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada, with her sister Janet in the 1920s. Public records show otherwise.

On 14 Nov 1926, at age 23, Margaret Stewart, born 1903 in Falkirk, departing from Glasgow on the ship Montairn, arrived in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, bound for the YMCA, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Employment in Scotland: Domestic. Intended employment in Canada: Domestic. Next of Kin: Mrs. Elizabeth Stewart, mother, Macfarlane Crescent, Falkirk. Landed Immigrant.

In 1931, at age 26, Margaret Stewart was residing at 89 Sunnyside in Westmount, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, working as a domestic servant for Thomas Redpath (born 1895 in Scotland) whose home was worth $16,000.

Margart Dewar Stewart, daughter of A Stewart and Robertson, died unmarried on 25 Nov 1823 in Pointe Claire, Quebec, Canada. 
Stewart, Margaret Dewar (I21780)
 
815 According to family records, Margaret was born 7 Nov 1852 in Canada, but according to the 1861 Canadian census, Margaret was born in 1845 in Ontario, Canada. Her death record indicates her birth was 7 Nov 1844, which seems to be the most accurate.

In 1861, at age 16, Margaret was residing in Stamford (Niagara Falls), Welland, Ontario, Canada, with her parents and five siblings.

According to the 1910 census, Margaret arrived in the USA in 1856, however this is impossible as she was residing in Canada in 1861.

In 1900, at age 52, Margaret was residing in Peru, Miami, Indiana, USA, She was unemployed and living with her sister Mary Sweetman.

In 1910, at age 57, Margaret was residing in Peru, Miami, Indiana, USA with her sister, Mary Sweetman. She was living off her own income. 
Ord, Margaret (I22846)
 
816 According to family records, Mary was born 11 Sep 1854 in Canada, but according to the 1861 Canadian census, Mary was born in 1847 in Ontario, Canada. In the 1900 census her birth is given as Sep 1849, likely closer to accurate.

In 1861, at age 14, Mary was residing in Stamford, Welland, Ontario, Canada, with her parents and siblings.

In 1870, at age 19, Mary was residing Logansport, Cass, Indiana, USA with her parents and remaining siblings.

In 1880, at age 25, Mary was residing in Peru, Miami, Indiana, USA, with the surname Sweetman. She was divorced. Her 7 year old daughter was with her. She was residing with her parents and remaining siblings.

In 1900, at age 50, Mary was residing in Peru, Miami, Indiana, USA with her sister Margaret and daughter, Mary Frances Sweetman. Her occupation is not listed.

In 1910, at age 56, Mary was residing in Peru, Miami, Indiana, USA with her sister Margaret and duaghter, Mary Frances Sweetman. She was employed as the proprietor of a grocery store. Given that her father owned a grocery store in Peru until his death in 1900, it seems likely that Mary took over from her late father. 
Ord, Mary (I22845)
 
817 According to family tradition in Leo Lavarre's family, all of Alexander's children were born in Edinburgh while Alexander maintained a residence in both Edinburgh and Pitlochry (in Logierait parish). However, all the children were baptised in Logierait parish and all census records record their births in Logierait. McNaughtan, Alexander (I10615)
 
818 According to family tradition, Agnes was born in Ireland, but the 1871 census says she was born in Scotland, but of Irish ancestry.

Until recently, it has been believed that Agnes died giving birth to Mary Ann. However, a recent account from a very elderly descendant of Hugh Stewart (who is old enough to have known Hugh) claims that Agnes did not die in childbirth, but that Hugh abandoned her. Agnes lived another ten years after her husband abandoned her. 
Mitchell, Agnes Ann (I11387)
 
819 According to family tradition, and confirmed by the late laird of Ardvorlich, John Stewart, himself, Robert Stewart in Balmeanoch was a natural son of Robert Stewart, 3rd of Ardvorlich. Family tradition says that Robert of Ardvorlich "went over the hill and had a natural son by an unknown woman." Whether "he went over the hill" is a euphemistic reference to his non-marital sexual liason or whether it was a literal geographic reference to the location of Laggan in Strathyre, the later residence of this family, is not known. But Laggan is located just over Ben Vorlich from Ardvorlich. Robert was the predecessor to the Stewarts in Laggan. No record has been found of this Robert's marriage to Margaret McNiven.

Their daughter Jean's baptism in 1693 is one of the very earliest entries in the Comrie OPR. Given that this family only had two known children, it seems likely that there were earlier children (probably daughters) whose births are not recorded. 
Stewart, Robert in Balimeanoch (I18114)
 
820 According to family tradition, Janet Stewart married James Fisher and had three children with him. She died shortly after the birth of her son, John Fisher, who was then raised by his uncle John Stewart and his aunts Katie and Kirsty Stewart. Katie and Kirsty Stewart are found in census records in 1851, 1861, and 1871, with John Fisher's widow, their niece, Christian McGregor. Stewart, Janet in Balliemore (I26667)
 
821 According to family tradition, Marjory was born in 1729 in Leanchoil farm, however this is chronologically impossible as her son, Donald, was probably born ca 1740. It is also not certain that she was born at Leanchoil or that she merely died there. Stuart, Marjory (I18727)
 
822 According to family tradition, Thomas Thornton was allegedly banished from his family farm in England over an incident relating to a prize mare. His family apparently had vast estates just outside of London. Thomas' father had a prized black mare that was being raised for showing. No one was supposed to ride this horse, but one day, when Thomas' father was in London on business, Thomas took her out for a ride. The horse stumbled and was fatally injured. The story further goes that he nearly rode the horse over a cliff [though this could be an embellishment]. Thomas' mother was furious. She knew that her husband would also be furious so she packed Thomas off with whatever he could carry and shipped him off to Canada before his father could returned from London "to kill him". They never spoke again. Thomas allegedly arrived in Canada in his teens with no family, no trade, no place to live, not knowing a soul, with perhaps a suitcase of belongings and whatever money his mother had given him.

Census records prove this story to be completely false... sort of...

The story is certainly not true of Thomas himself. Thomas' second marriage record gives his parents as William and Sophia Thornton. Only one such couple exists in the IGI. They have a son matching the birth of Thomas, and census records confirm him to be the correct Thomas. He is found in the 1841 and 1851 censuses in England and does not appear in Canada until 1861, while he disappears from the 1861 English census.

These census records confirm that Thomas was living as a bachelor with his widowed father in Hallidon, Northamptonshire, England as late as 1851 at age 28. Both Thomas and his father were employed as agricultural labourers -- clearly not a baron and his son! Sometime between 1851-1861 Thomas immigrated by himself to Oxford County, Ontario, Canada. There was already a large family of English-born Thorntons living in Oxford at that time and it's possible that Thomas moved to be with relatives.

But the story of the falling out with the landed father may not be entirely false either. It may simply be distorted and attached to the wrong generation. Just a stone's throw from Hallidon is the large estate of Brockhall and Newnham, owned by the Thornton family from 1652 to the mid-twentieth century. Census records show a finite concentration of Thornton familes living within 10 miles of Brockhall strongly suggesting a common family of origin for all these families. So it would appear very likely that Thomas did descend from a lesser cadet branch of the Thorntons of Brockhall and Newnham. And this family did also own land just outside of London. The story of the horse could easily be true, but probably of Thomas' grandfather, and over time the story has simply been attached to the wrong person.

We don't know where or how Thomas met Sarah (Barnes) Reynolds, but she had just been widowed and was caring for a newborn son, Charles. Thomas married Sarah and raised (and probably adopted) Charles as his own son. The 1881 census shows Charles last name as Thornton. Thomas and Sarah later had a son of their own, John, and then a daughter, Anne. No record of these births has yet been found.

When Anne was just a few weeks old, her mother died from pneumonia in a very tragic tale (told in her note file). Anne was still nursing, so Thomas could not look after her and was forced to give her up for adoption. She was raised by an unknown family in Hamilton.

Even though Thomas' ancestral family apparently had vast estates in England, Thomas lived his life in near poverty. When his wife Sarah died, Thomas could not afford a funeral and she is buried in an unmarked pauper's grave. He was invoiced $2 for the digging fee -- that appears to have been all he could afford.

In 1881 Thomas was living in Sarnia raising two pre-teen boys on his own. He never remarried.

His death certificate lists his occupation as "stove mounter" while the 1881 census lists his occupation as "stone mason" so it seems likely that he had no specific trade. He was probably a general labourer working at whatever job he could find. 
Thornton, Thomas (I19389)
 
823 According to family tradition, William Tasker "moved out west with a pistol in each hand, where he lived as an outlaw until he died of a gunshot wound." However he has not been found in the 1911 census for Canada or any American census records. He apparently died without marrying and without children. Tasker, William (I19036)
 
824 According to fellow researcher John Mansfield, Elizabeth remained in England, married and had one child. Bridgman, Elizabeth (I1320)
 
825 According to fellow researcher, John Mansfield, Ann remained in England where she married John Brown of Scotland. They moved to Scotland and had four or five children. Bridgman, Ann Nancy (I1378)
 
826 According to fellow researcher, Ken Christie, published accounts of the Merritt family coming from Nova Scotia are erroneous. Merritt, Robert Courtland (I11259)
 
827 According to Find A Grave, Warren served in WWI.

In 1930, Warren Brown was residing in Hanover, Hanover, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA, with his wife and children. He was employed as a public school teacher.

In 1940, Warren Brown was residing in Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA, with his wife and children. He was employed as a school teacher. 
Brown, Warren (I22022)
 
828 According to Find A Grave:
Julia was born 1 Sep 1813 and died 10 Apr 1858 (aged 44). She is buried with her second husband, William Brown.

Julia was a daughter of Henry and Elizabeth Moser (Mosier), who came from Easton. Northampton County, Pennsylvania to Newport Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, sometime between 1810 and 1814.

Julia was first married to John Stivers Jr., son of John and Phebe (Barber) Stivers, also residents of Newport Township. Julia was John's second wife; his first wife, Margaret, died in 1832. He and Margaret had one son, Emanuel Stivers. Julia's sister, Mary Anne Mosier, married John's brother, Samuel Stivers.

Julia and John Stivers Jr. had three children - John, Elizabeth, and Susannah Stivers. John died shortly after Susannah was born.

Julia then married William Brown, himself a widower with children. Julia and William had five children - Sarah, Anderson, Hendrick, George, and Lewis Brown. Julia died the year after Lewis was born 
Mosier, Julia Ann (I18519)
 
829 According to Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, "Andrew Stewart, entered into a contract of wadset with Colin Campbell of Mochaster for the lands of Easter Ardkeandaknockin on 20 November 1661 and is then styled brother to John Stewart of Annat."

Duncan Stewart (1739) shows no descendants for Andrew. 
Stewart, Andrew in Ardcheanochdan (I15164)
 
830 According to Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, "Charles Stewart of Ballado, b. in June of 1748 and entered the H.E.I.C.S. He was appointed Head Commissary and Paymaster to the Army, and was in General Matthew’s force which was captured at Bednore in April of 1783. He was subsequently killed by his captors and was father of Charlotte Stewart, a natural daughter." Stewart, Chief Commissary Charles of Ballado and Head Commissary HEICS (I15378)
 
831 According to Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, "Charlotte Stewart, a natural daughter. She m. at Edinburgh, on 6 July 1799, to Robert Patullo of Balhouffie, and had issue." Stewart, Charlotte (I22244)
 
832 According to Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, "Jean Stewart, married Alexander Graham, eldest son of Duncan Graham, in Corries (c/m 10 January 1740.)" They had children. Stewart, Jean (I16880)
 
833 According to Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland: "Walter Stewart, was witness with his brother John Stewart of Annat to an agreement between the Clan Gregor and the Buchannans of Leny on 24 October 1655." There is no record of Walter having married or had children.

Duncan Stewart (1739) shows no descendants for Walter. 
Stewart, Walter Mceandowie in Glenfinglas (I18374)
 
834 According to her father's obituary, she married a Randelett. Brown, Minnie (I1829)
 
835 According to her gravestone, Anny was 35 years old when she died in 1865. Taylor, Anny M. (I19189)
 
836 According to her marriage register, her father's name was John Hutton. Thus their first son was named after both grandfathers. Hutton, Jean (I27281)
 
837 According to his brother, William Nolan Stewart's biography, Warren was assassinated at Arcola, Washington county, Miss., in 1889. No further information is known. No contemporary news article has been found. Stewart, Warren A. (I23981)
 
838 According to his marriage registration, John was a plumber. Mayes, John Johnson (I9641)
 
839 According to his military service record, Robert Stewart was born in Thanet, Hastings, Ontario, Canada. (Thanet is the 4th ghost town heading north up the Hastings Rd. from Millbridge. It is 2.5 kms north of Murphy's Corner and south of Ormsby.)

Robert's siblings were baptised in the Secession Presbyterian Church in Glasgow, but Robert's children were baptised Roman Catholic in Massachussetts. This represents a dramatic shift in faith. As Robert's wife, Florence King, was French Canadian, it's likely that she was Roman Catholic and Robert converted when they married. 
Stewart, Robert Crichton (I27652)
 
840 According to his niece, Daniel never married. It is not known if Daniel came to Canada or not. He is last found in the 1901 England census residing with his parents. As his family did not immigrate until after 1911, he is not found in the 1911 Canadian census. Jones, Daniel (I8333)

Stewart, Alexander MacLean (I15073)
 
842 According to his son John's marriage registration, Charles was a carpenter. Mayes, Charles (I21079)
 
843 According to http://www.wargs.com/royal/camilla.html, citing Burkes LG19 I:951, Robert's wife was "Mary Stuart". She is also recorded as the daughter of Andrew Stewart and Mary Dinwiddie. Andrew was a descendant of the Stewarts of Beath. However this is contradicted by Mitchell's MIs and the Comrie OPR which both show Robert's wife as Jean Stewart of Ardvorlich. The Ardvorlich connection seems more realistic than the Beath connection as Dundurn is very close to Ardvorlich whereas Beath is not. Furthermore, her son Lieut. Allan MacNab's son, Sir Allan Napier MacNab, 1st Baronet of Dundurn Castle (in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada) named all the streets around his estate after places around Loch Earn, including Ardvorlich Street.

However, since Robert's eldest son, Allan, was born three years prior to Robert's marriage to Jean Stewart of Ardvorlich, it's certainly possible that Robert was married firstly (and unrecorded) to Mary Stewart and secondly to Jean Stewart of Ardvorlich. If so, there's no certainty that Mary Stewart was related to Jean Stewart. Burkes gives no parents for Mary Stewart. However, Burkes has made mistakes before and I suspect that the name of Mary is simply an error and that Jean Stewart is Robert's wife and perhaps their first son was born "a little early".
