• Notes

  Christian McIntyre was born on 31 Jan 1802 in Carnlia on the west side of Glen Beich in Balquhidder parish, Perthshire, Scotland. Christian married on 10 JUL 1829 in Balquhidder and 22 JUL 1829 in Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland to her maternal cousin, John Stewart, b. Abt 27 Jul 1802, Ardveich, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland , d. 1836, McNab Township, Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada (Age ~ 33 years). He was born almost next-door in Ardveich on the east side of Glen Beich, but in Comrie parish, Perthshire, Scotland. He was living in Kilmadock at the time of their marriage. Later that same year, they had their first child, Ann. Her birth record has not been found. In 1831, at age 29, Christian and her family immigrated to Renfrew, Ontario, Canada with her extended McIntyre family. They had an infant daughter Ann with them. They stopped briefly in Grenville, Quebec, Canada, where their second daughter Margaret was born, before finally settling in Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada. In 1835, Christian's husband, John Stewart, was tragically killed: “Then, for a time, Rev. Mr. Fairbairn, the Ramsay minister, came occasionally to visit the people. And in connection with his coming, there occurred one of the early and memorable tragedies of the district. It was probably about the year 1835 that the people were going to meet with Mr. Fairburn at John Fisher’s on the south side of the Madawaska, near Burnstown. Those on the north side went across in canoes. A number had safely crossed the swiftly swirling waters at that point, on this side as on former occasions; but the canoe containing John McNab (known as Auchessan McNab), John Stewart (father of the late “Churchfield John”, and the blacksmith McArthur with his two children, capsized. McArthur managed to swim ashore with one child, but McNab, Stewart, and the other child were all swept down by the current and drowned. For many days the neighbours “dragged” the waters till the bodies were found." (The Story of Renfrew - From the Coming of the First Settlers About 1820 by W. E. Smallfield and Rev. Robert Campbell, D.Sc. Renfrew, Smallfield and Son, 1919) They have not been found in 1841. In the 1851 census Christian is shown as "Mrs John Stewart, widow", residing with her three children in McNab, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada. Christian's death certificate records her as being born in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland and as the wife of the late John Stewart. The informant was her son, John Stewart in McNab Township, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada.
