| 901 | According to Records of the Clan and Name of Fergusson, Ferguson, and Fergus. (Edited for The Clan Fergus(s)on Society by James Ferguson and Robert Menzies Fergusson by David Douglas, 10 Castle Street, Edinburgh, 1899.) Helen Ferguson and her siblings were born at Kipp in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, but later resided at Glenbeich on the northwest shore of Lochearn. 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. After the death of her husband, Helen (Eleanor), lived with her son John and his family. She is found residing with them in 1851 and 1861. | Ferguson, Helen (I22919)

| 902 | According to researcher, Richard Smith, Claudette was a "Fille du Roi" ("Daughter of the King"). The "Filles du Roi" were single, young women who were sent from France to New France (Quebec) as suitable brides for the soldier/settlers. The earliest French settlers in New France were soldiers who were encouraged to stay and settle in New France, however there was a distinct shortage of women for them to marry and have children with. Thus the French King Louis XIV established the "Filles du Roi" program. | Des Chalets, Claudette (I4815)
|
| 903 | According to Rose of Kilravock, Lilias was the sister of William Hayof Delgaty. | Hay, Lilias (I7665)
|
| 904 | According to Ruth Brown's 1973 Family Tree, the earliest immigrant ancestor of this family was an Alexander Brown who "came from Northern Ireland and settled in Reading, Pennsylvania." Research on the later generations allows us to estimate Alexander's birth as circa 1710. DNA research confirms a genetic link between these Browns and a family of Browns who are found in the mid-19th century residing in Tandragee, County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The most recent common ancestor between these two branches is estimated as having lived sometime in the 17th century (possibly somewhat earlier). As such it is most likely that this Alexander came from the same place in Northern Ireland, so his place of birth is recorded here as probably being in County Down, Ireland. Little more is known about this Alexander Brown except that he had a son who moved to the Wyoming Valley in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, USA in 1786 and had a family there. Plumb's 1885 History of Hanover Township, Luzerne County identifies the name of this son as Alexander Brown who married Mary Tyler. It is not known if the senior Alexander Brown had any other children, nor if he had any siblings who also came to America. It is possible that Alexander Jr's migration to Luzerne County in 1786 may be coincident with the death of his father, this Alexander Brown. There was a massive exodus of Ulster-Scots to the Colonies, beginning in 1720, primarily arriving Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA and embarking west into the Appalachians. That would appear to fit the pattern for Alexander Brown. | Brown, Alexander (I20497)
|
| 905 | According to Ruth Brown's tree, the Brown family came from Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA to Kingston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania in 1786. Thus James was most likely born in Kingston. According to Plumb's 1885 History of Hanover Township, James Brown, son of Alexander Brown and Mary Tyler, "went to Wayne County." (sic, Wyoming County) According to Joan Huston: "James was the first Protonotary (principal clerk notary or probate officer) for Wyoming County. Buried in the Old Brick Cemetery, Eaton Township, Wyoming County, Pennsylvania. according to the Wyoming County Historical Society. According to Alverta Brown Martin's book "Pacific Northwest Grandfathers", he was buried in the Harding Cemetery." The former is correct. In 1830 (prior to the formation of Wyoming County), James Brown is found residing in Eaton, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, USA, with the following family: one male 0-4, one male 5-9, one male 30-39, two females 0-4, one female 5-9, 3 females 10-14, one female 30-39. James is the only Brown in Eaton in 1830. These ages coincide with James and his wife and children. In 1833, there is listed a Justice James Brown. There is no other James Brown known to be residing in Eaton at the time, so it is presumed to be this James Brown. In 1840 James was residing in Eaton, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA, with the following family: one male 10-14, one male 15-19, one male 40-50, two females 10-14, one female 15-19, two females 20-30, and one female 40-50. These ages coincide with James and his wife and younger children. He was residing nearby to his sister Jane Lee (nee Brown). In 1850 (after the formation of Wyoming County), James was residing in Eaton, (now in) Wyoming, Pennsylvania, USA as a widowed farmer with his children Martha, James and Mary. His son, Ryder, was residing nearby in Tunkhannock, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, USA. His age was given as 18. He was a farmer and residing with E. Jenkins and family. James death record gives his death as 29 JUN 1861, age 70 years, 9 months and 17 days. Gravestone transcription from Old Brick Church Cemetery, Eaton, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, USA: BROWN, James, Esq., d: 29 June 1861 70y 9m 17d "My Father Sleeps"; Martha, h/w, d: 31 Mar 1837 41y 9d (Illegible); Mary, h/w, was drowned in Bowman's Creek 27 Apr 1850 50y 26d --------------------------------------- Sam Gibson, custodian of The Browns of Priesthill database at Ancestry (http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/4962108/person/-1517567580), shows this James Brown as son of Alexander Brown (12 JUN 1763 in Big Springs, Pennsylvania, USA - 1791 in Browns Mill, Pennsylvania, USA) and Mary Tyler with children born 1780-1791 (as per Huston). Gibson shows Alexander as a son of James Brown (1724-1780) and Mary McClelland. This latter James Brown being a grandson of John Brown of Priesthill via his posthumous son John Brown (1684-1740). There appears to be no basis in evidence to make such a connection and DNA evidence has now excluded our Browns from likely descent from Priesthill. --------------------------------------- "I have his death record from Wyoming County Historical Society that has his death as 29 June 1861 and he was 70 years 9 months and 17 days old. This date evidently appears on his gravestone Old Brick Cemetery Eaton Township, Wyoming County, Pennsylvania. He was married 3 times, first two wives died in 1837 and 1850. I have two different books that put his birthdate in September 1791." Per Joan Huston, email on 1/12/2008. Birth date is calculated using death date and age at death from gravestone. | Brown, Justice James W. (I1677)
|
| 906 | According to Severence, "he is mentioned in his father's will and no further trace." | Stewart, Samuel (I24476)
|
| 907 | According to Severence, she married her cousin, John Stewart. | Stewart, Rebecca (I24477)
|
| 908 | According to SOS, he was a shoemaker in Callander. | Stewart, Son (I18214)
|
| 909 | According to Sprigg family records, Arthur was an attorney in Maryland. | Steuart, Arthur Baxter (I22299)
|
| 910 | According to Sprigg family records, in 1798, Rebecca inherited Sparrow's Nest plantation and other lands in Patapsco Neck, Maryland, USA, from her late father. Her lands included the contiguous estates of Lloyd's Point, Prevention, Howell Powell, and Ridgely estates. These latter estates went to her son Richard Spriggs Steuart. | Sprigg, Rebecca (I14466)
|
| 911 | According to Spriggs family records and Nelker, Mary never married. | Steuart, Mary Elizabeth (I22479)
|
| 912 | According to Stewart Clan Magazine, Alexander succeeded his uncle John in Ballchulish. Alexander was at Sheriffmuir in 1715 and at Culloden in 1746. Extract of Marriage betwixt Alexander Stewart Esquire younger of Balachelish with consent of John Stewart of Balachelish his father and Isobel Stewart daughter of the said Alexander Stewart fourth of Annat with consent of her father dated 24 February and 30 March 1725. | Stewart, Alexander 4th of Ballachulish (I15006)
|
| 913 | According to Stewart Clan Magazine, this Dugald Stewart was the son or descendant of Donald Stewart of Auchnaquone. "Donald Stewart of Auchnaquone, Argyleshire, who had brothers Alexander, Duncan, Alan and Dugald, was descended from Dugald Stewart of Auchnaquone, third son of Sir Alan Stewart of Appin. There are five or six generations unaccounted for. 'The old and valuable papers of the Achnacone|Auchnaquone| family,' said THE STEWARTS OF APPIN, 1880, 'have, unfortunately, been lost.'" (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, December 1956, vol. 34, no. 6, pp.177-179.) Gordon MacGregor (The Red Book of Scotland) shows some of the intervening missing generations but gives no further information on Dugald other than his name. Dugald was one of the members of the party who sailed with Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, from Scotland to Cape Fear, North Carolina, USA, in 1739. Dugald Stewart is listed in 1740 as receiving a land grant in Bladen County for 640 acres, in which he is listed immediately following Patrick Stewart of Ledcreich. Dugald is also listed as settling in Harnett County in 1740 (probably the same place.) Stewart Clan Magazine says: "Dugald Stewart apparently came from Scotland, with his wife and some children, in 1739 in the same influx of highland settlers as Patrick Stewart. Dugald died, intestate, prior to Apr. 13, 1756, when Thomas Stewart, his "oldest son and heir at law," sold 200 of the 640 acres to John Rea. Thomas died about 1760, leaving issue an only child, Elizabeth. This Elizabeth Stewart never married, and at her death some time after Apr. 7, 1812, she devised her plantation (apparently the remaining 440 acres of her father's estate) to her cousins -- Robert, Hector and Dugald Stewart... Elizabeth's cousins -- Robert, Hector and Dugald Stewart -- almost had to be grandsons of Dugald through a younger brother of Thomas." (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, February 1957, vol. 34, no. 8, pp.185-188.) | Stewart, Dugald in Achnacone (I15747)
|
| 914 | According to Stewart Clan Magazine, Tignal Jones Stewart was the "only identified child" of Charles Stewart and Polly Jones. "Tingnall Jones: his father was appointed his guardian Oct. 15, 1810." (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, March 1957, vol. 34, no. 9, pp.189-192) Tignal Jones Stewart had a first cousin by his uncle Duncan Stewart, also named Tignal Jones Stewart who was born in 1800. Their parents were double-siblings so they shared the same double set of grandparents. Thus, on record they appear nearly identical. All records after 1810 for Tignal Jones Stewart born in 1800 appear to pertain to the other Tignal Jones Stewart, son of Duncan Stewart and Penelope Jones. No record for this Tignal Jones Stewart has been found later than the guardianship noted in Stewart Clan Magazine above. It is presumed that this Tignal Jones Stewart never married nor had children. This is further supported by the fact that Tignal Jones Stewart is not mentioned in the farming partnership documents of his brothers, Duncan and Charles, suggesting that this Tignal Jones Stewart had died by 1832. | Stewart, Tignall Jones (I18392)
|
| 915 | According to Stewarts of the South he was a bleacher [in the] new town of Campsie and had sons. | Stewart, Son in Campsie (I20997)
|
| 916 | According to Stewarts of the South he was the brother of Duncan in Radnaik (Rednock). Auchmore was located southwest of Loch of Menteith. One source indicates that Auchmore was also known as Gartrenich, however Stobies Map shows these as two different places. | Stewart, Donald in Auchmore (Line 2a) (I21593)
|
| 917 | According to Stewarts of the South John "Iain McDonachie" Stewart had four sons, only one of whom (Duncan) survived past 1815. However, parish records show that John actually had six sons, which means two of them must have died in childhood. We know the earlier Duncan died in childhood prior to the birth of the later Duncan. However, we do not know which of the other sons died in childhood and which survived long enough to be recorded in Stewarts of the South. | Stewart, Alexander (I14828)
|
| 918 | According to Stewarts of the South John "Iain McDonachie" Stewart had four sons, only one of whom (Duncan) survived past 1815. However, parish records show that John actually had six sons, which means two of them must have died in childhood. We know the earlier Duncan died in childhood prior to the birth of the later Duncan. However, we do not know which of the other sons died in childhood and which survived long enough to be recorded in Stewarts of the South. | Stewart, David (I15636)
|
| 919 | According to Stewarts of the South John "Iain McDonachie" Stewart had four sons, only one of whom (Duncan) survived past 1815. However, parish records show that John actually had six sons, which means two of them must have died in childhood. We know the earlier Duncan died in childhood prior to the birth of the later Duncan. However, we do not know which of the other sons died in childhood and which survived long enough to be recorded in Stewarts of the South. | Stewart, Donald (I15878)
|
| 920 | According to Stewarts of the South John "Iain McDonachie" Stewart had four sons, only one of whom (Duncan) survived past 1815. However, parish records show that John actually had six sons, which means two of them must have died in childhood. We know the earlier Duncan died in childhood prior to the birth of the later Duncan. However, we do not know which of the other sons died in childhood and which survived long enough to be recorded in Stewarts of the South. | Stewart, Patrick (I17875)
|
| 921 | According to Stewarts of the South, "Duncan (Og) Stewart, tenant in Glenbuckie [in] Balquhidder Parish and [on] Capt Stewart's property, had three sons [namely] Duncan, John and James." Duncan's nickname "Og" means "young" in Gaelic. It likely indicates that his father's name was also Duncan. His father is shown here as Sean Duncan Stewart (meaning "Old Duncan Stewart"). | Stewart, Duncan Og (I16042)
|
| 922 | According to Stewarts of the South, "Duncan Stewart, was tacksman of Letter, Lochcathrineside, in Callendar parish, which is the estate of Perth. He was brother to the above James [Stewart in Monbreachy]." | Stewart, Duncan in Lettir of Strathgartney (I16031)
|
| 923 | According to Stewarts of the South, Alexander Stewart was the patriarch of Branch III of the Stewarts of Ardvorlich. "Oig" is Gaelic for "young", as in "Young Alexander". Alexander was a witness to a bond by John Reidheugh of Wester Kerse to Janet Comrie, relict of William Stewart of Balemeanoch, and Alexander and Robert Stewart, their sons, for 1400 merks on 8 JUN 1650. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) | Stewart, Alasdair Oig in Auchrig (Ardv. III) (I14756)
|
| 924 | According to Stewarts of the South, Alexander was a Captain in the Honourable East India Company. He inherited Strathgarry in Blair Atholl and Wester Invernenty in the Braes of Balquhidder from his father. He married and had descendants and is currently represented by Reg Alexander J Stewart, 9th Strathgarry and Innerhadden and 5th Laird of Bunrannoch. | Stewart, Capt. Alexander HEICS 5th of Strathgarry and Wester Invernenty (I15082)
|
| 925 | According to Stewarts of the South, Alexander was the eldest son of Duncan mac Allan Stewart of Duart. This accounting is contradicted by The Ardvorlich History. Stewarts of the South says that Alexander was the grandfather of Duncan Stewart in Glengaoil. | Stewart, Alasdair Dubh nan Damh (I14754)
|
| 926 | According to Stewarts of the South, Archibald lived at Norieston near Thornhill and had a son who lived at Kinross in "middling circumstances". (This may be an incorrect reading of Stewarts of the South and is under review.) McInnes Stewart, another descendant of Archibald of Landrick, offers the following testimony in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856): "As for the settlement of 1777 in which Archibald calls on the failure of his sister and their issue (sic), Archibald and William, the lawful sons of his uncle Robert Stewart...." From this testimony it would appear that Archibald and William were the only sons of Robert to reach adulthood and that neither had descendants." | Stewart, Archibald (I15333)
|
| 927 | According to Stewarts of the South, Charles died in the West Indies. | Stewart, Charles (I15521)
|
| 928 | According to Stewarts of the South, Daniel was an apprentice to James Tod, a merchant in Edinburgh. He married to Jean Erskine, although no record of their marriage has been found. Donald's nephew Dr. David Stewart, son of Alexander Stewart, 10th of Glenbuckie, in his will says, "I David Stewart at Brainchyle son of Alexander Stewart of Glenbuckie nominate Alexander Stewart my cousin, lawful son of Deceased Donald Stewart sometime tanner in Edinburgh and his heirs which failing Donald Stewart brother of Alexander Stewart also my cousin and his heirs to be my executors." | Stewart, Donald Tanner in Edinburgh and Kilmahog (I15670)
|
| 929 | According to Stewarts of the South, Duncan died from the consumption without issue. Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "Duncan Stewart, 11th of Glenbucky, b. on 5 December 1724 and succeeded his father in 1745. Duncan was listed as a witness for the defence in the 1752 trial of James Stewart of the Glen accused in the Appin Murder. Duncan's brother, Alexander, sold Glenbuckie in 1756. Thus we know that Duncan died between 1752-1756. According to www.stirnet.com, Duncan married to Susannah Campbell, daughter of Capt. Duncan Campbell, 6th of Kilberry. According to Stirnet, she died in 1794 with no children, which is consistent with the description from Stewarts of the South. | Stewart, Duncan 11th of Glenbuckie (I15935)
|
| 930 | According to Stewarts of the South, Duncan was a labourer who had two sons who were alive in 1815. | Stewart, Duncan (I15798)
|
| 931 | According to Stewarts of the South, Duncan was a surgeon in London (England). He was also Royal Physician to King Henri Christof of Haiti. | Stewart, Dr. Duncan (I15925)
|
| 932 | According to Stewarts of the South, Duncan’s father, John, had one (surviving) son who was “A brewer and innkeeper in Stirling in a good way. He has three or four sons.” Baptism records show John having three sons, however the 1814 Moss Census shows that two of those sons, Alexander and James, died young, leaving Duncan as the only surviving son. Duncan was not residing with his parents on The Moss in 1814 and would easily fit the description in Stewarts of the South. Thus, by process of elimination, it is suggested that Duncan was a brewer and innkeeper in Stirling with three or four sons ca. 1815-1820. | Stewart, Duncan Innkeeper in Stirling (I15758)
|
| 933 | According to Stewarts of the South, he was a cloth merchant in Glasgow. | Stewart, _____ (I21596)
|
| 934 | According to Stewarts of the South, he was a spirit dealer in Glasgow, like his father. | Stewart, _____ (I21595)
|
| 935 | According to Stewarts of the South, III Branch was called Sliochd Sheumais mhic Alistir mhic Dhunachy or "Children of James son of Alexander son of Duncan." III Branch also refers to the progenitor of these branches as "Brother to Iain Du Beg, [who] had three sons." The Iain Du Beg in question is the younger natural son of Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie. Stewarts of the South describes the origin of V Branch "Lorachan Stewarts", as descended from "James McAlistir foresaid." When the text says "foresaid" it could be referring to several Jameses. It is tempting to suggest that the James MacAlasdair of V Branch is identical to the James mac Alasdair mhiv Duncan of III Branch. This makes the most sense, but it seems so far impossible to reconcile that connection chronologically. There appears to be a missing generation. Thus we currently show this "Duncan?" with a question mark to fulfill the patronymic and show him as a son of Duncan Stewart, younger brother of Iain Du Beg, son of Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie, to indicate his unreconciled line of descent. | Stewart, Duncan? of Glenbuckie III and V Branches (I16560)
|
| 936 | According to Stewarts of the South, James Stewart was a tenant in Tommineoin and afterwards at Kilmahog. | Stewart, James in Tommineoin and Kilmahog (I16568)
|
| 937 | According to Stewarts of the South, James was a "schoolmaster in Aberfoyle". However, Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions indicates that James was also (or subsequently) a student of Divinity. James' 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, James (I16545)
|
| 938 | According to Stewarts of the South, James was a tacksman at Wester Invernenty and later at Bohelecan near Dryman. He had three sons who all had families. | Stewart, James in Wester Invernenty and Bohelecan (I16570)
|
| 939 | According to Stewarts of the South, John resided in Redhaugh, Touch, Stirlingshire, Scotland. John Stewart, [James'] brother, a farmer in Redhaugh [which is] Touch’s estate, which now belongs to Murray of Polmaize, Stirlingshire. His sons: 1. An officer in the 42nd Regiment of Foot. 2. An officer in another regiment. 3. A surgeon and physician. 4. A writer 5. Another 2 or 3 at home who are minors. | Stewart, John in Redhaugh (I21585)
|
| 940 | According to Stewarts of the South, John was "tutor to Appin." | Stewart, John 3rd of Ardsheal (I17165)
|
| 941 | According to Stewarts of the South, John was called "Iain Dubh Mor" ("Big Black John") to differentiate him from his younger half-brother, Iain Dubh Beg ("Little Black John"). Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "John married Isabel, daughter to Alexander Stewart of Ardvorlich, by whom he had Duncan, who died without issue, Alexander, his successor, James and Donald, who both had issue, and several daughters." A bond in 1622 which names the heads of most of the Balquhidder Stewarts includes: "John Dow (Mor) Stewart in Glenfinglas and his brother-german, Walter". Dow is an Anglicization of Dubh which means "black". Gordon MacGregor suggests, and we concur, that these two brothers were sons of Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie. John signed the 1654 Bond of Keltney Burn along with the heads of all the other Stewart houses in Balquhidder, Athol, and Appin swearing allegiance to King Charles II. The following family is found in miscellaneous notes in the John MacGregor Collection (1905) and refers to this family: "John Dow Stewart in Glenfinglas had two sons,- James and Alexander. James 1673 had a son named Alexander 1703 who married Mary Stewart and they had three sons - Robert Duncan and James. Alexander who was father to Duncan Stewart in Lack 1676 and grandfather to John Stewart in Glenbuckie." The earlier 1622 bond doesn't specify which of the two John Dubh Stewarts, Mor or Beag, was residing in Glen Finglas, however the latter reference from the John MacGregor Collection indicates that it was John Dubh Mor Stewart who resided in Glen Finglas, while John Dubh Beag resided in Muirlaggan and Ledcreich. | Stewart, John Dubh Mor 6th of Glenbuckie (I17171)
|
| 942 | According to Stewarts of the South, Robert was a shepherd on the Blair-Drummond estate. He had a son who was an "honest and industrious person". In 1788 (or 1787) Robert moved from Balquhidder to the Blair Drummond Moss in Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, where he began his family. In 1814, Robert and his family are found in the Drummond Moss Census residing at Summer's Lane No7. Former Possessor: Robert Stewart Present Possessor: Robert Stewart 52 yrs Mary McNie 50 " Children: Duncan 25 yrs Peter 22 " (As Peter is also shown below as dying in 1796 at age 3 months, and as Stewarts of the South shows Robert having only one son, it's possible that this Peter is a son-in-law, rather than a son.) Jannet 19 " Elizabeth 17 " Mary 13 " Isobel 10 " Christian 8 " Persons deceased Peter 1/4 1796 Croup (sic, This would make him born after his same-named brother above, which makes no sense. It is presumed this is a transcription error, possibly for 1790.) John 10yr 1800 Consumption (sic, John's birth is recorded in 1797. He could not have been 10 years old in 1800.) Years Settled on the Moss 26 years Where they came from: Balquhidder Possessions: Cats 2 Dogs Poultry 6 Swine Sheep Cows 2 Horses 1 Harrows Plough Carts Robert Stewart's wife, Mary McNie sent a family bible to their son, Dunan, in Canada, with the following inscription: "This Bible is Sent from Summer Lane Blair Drummond Mofs to Duncan Stewart son of Robert Stewart late of that Place by his Mother Mary (or Marg) McNie as the best blefsing she can send and may God be with you and yours is the earnest Prayer of your Mother. Summerlane 26 May 1842" From that inscription, we can identify Duncan's birth family as follows, however, there is no birth for Duncan himself. Robert Stewart and Mary McNie - Moss MARRIAGE 1787 May 19 Robert Stewart and Mary McNee both in this parish. BIRTHS 1791 March 27 Patrick, son to Robt Stewart and Mary McNie, Moss. 1793 June 27 Janet, daugr to Robt Stewart and Mary McNee, Moss. 1795 June 21 Elis, daugr to Robert Stewart and Mary McNie, Summer Line. 1797 July 30 John, son to Robert Stewart and ___ McNee, Summer Line. 1799 Septr 20 Mary, daugr to Robt Stewart and Mary McNee, Moss. 1802 Febry 21 Isobel, daugr tro Robt Stewart and Mary McNie, Moss. | Stewart, Robert in Summerline (I17962)
|
| 943 | According to Stewarts of the South, the surviving senior male line descendant of Rob Duibh Mhoir Stewart was Robert McDonachie Stewart who has been identified in Callander parish records as having married in 1766 to Janet Black and was likely born about 1730. Robert's patronymic, McDonachie, is an Anglicization of the Gaelic mac Donnachaidh, which means "son of Duncan." Thus we can conclude with reasonable certainty that Robert's father was named Duncan Stewart. Possible marriages 1724, Duncan STUART in this paroch and Christ: MCGREGOR in the paroch of Balquhidder listed themselves to be proclaimed in order to marriage Nov 14th and after orderly proclamation were married Dec 7th. (No children recorded for this marriage. Fits onomastically with children shown here.) 1725, Duncan and Ann STUARTS both in this paroch listed themselves to be proclaimed in order to marriage Jan 15th and after orderly proclamation were married 26th Jan. (No children shown for this marriage.) | Stewart, Duncan (I15838)
|
| 944 | According to Stewarts of the South, this person is the patriarch of the Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Branch IV - The Letter Stewarts in Letter and Auchrig, Port of Menteith parish, Perthshire, Scotland. We know Duncan Oag had a son Alasdair Oig who was patriarch of Branch III. It is not known if Branch IV also descends from Alasdair Oig or if Duncan had another son from whom Branch IV descends. As the author of Stewarts of the South was aware of the existence of Alasdair Oig then it seems likely that if Branch IV was also descended from Alasdair Oig then the author of Stewarts of the South would have said so. Although this is far from a solid argument, based on this premise alone we are presently suggesting that Branch IV more likely descends from an unknown younger brother of Alasdair Oig. A counter argument can be made by the fact that Duncan Oag Stewart died in 1632 and was probably in his very early thirties at the oldest when he died. Thus a case may be made that Alasdair Oig Stewart could have been his only son. Thus, the children shown here may actually descend from Alastair Oig Stewart in Auchrig and Inchalbeg, shown here as uncle to this family. | Stewart, _____ in Letter (Ardv. IV) (I21528)
|
| 945 | According to Stewarts of the South, this person's name was "Duncan McCallain" Stewart or "Duncan, son of Allan". According to The Ardvorlich History his name was Alasdair Dubh nan Damh Stewart or "Black Alexander of the Cattle" who was also called "Sandy of the Stirks" (stirks were black cattle). According to both accounts Alexander/Duncan was a cattle drover from Clan Appin who came to Glen Finglas and settled in Duart. According to Stewarts of the South, he came "with one of the family of Glenbuckie and married there." In its full context the word "there" is ambiguous in its reference -- it could refer to Glen Finglas or Appin, but most likely refers to Glenbuckie. This could mean that Alexander/Duncan came to Glen Finglas as a friend of, and under the protection of, one of the members of the Glenbuckie family and that he married while he was still living in Glenbuckie, or it could mean that he married a daughter of one of the Glenbuckie families, or both. As Clan Appin were not among the families who shared in the division of Glen Finglas, yet a descendant of this branch in 1815 held one of the eight portions of Glen Finglas then this family either purchased or otherwise acquired one of the eight portions, possibly by marriage. Given the previous reference from Stewarts of the South it seems most likely that Alexander/Duncan married one of the daughters of Glenbuckie and acquired the Glenbuckie share of Duart by marriage. The discrepency between these two sources may be resolved chronologically, if, as we show here, Alasdair Dubh nan Damh was actually a son of Duncan McCallain.In which case it is very possible that Duncan McCallain Stewart shown here is identical with Duncan McAlan Stewart, Innkeeper at Tighnaluib, of the Innishchoarich family. | Stewart, Duncan mac Allan in Duart (I16014)
