• Notes

  Alexander Stewart was born on 20 Apr 1839 at Corriechrombie in Strathyre, in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland, to Alexander Stewart and Margaret McKinlay. (His birth is missing from our Callander parish register transcription so we don't know exactly where in Callander he was born, but all other records show his parents residing at Corriechrombie.) In 1841, at age 7, Alexander Stewart was residing at Corriechrombie, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings. In 1851, at age 16, Alexander Stewart was residing at Corriechrombie, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland with is parents and siblings. He was employed as a farm servant. Alexander Stewart may or may not have immigrated to Canada. All that can be confirmed is that he was no longer in Callander parish by 1861. Alexander is claimed by descendants to have immigrated in 1854 to Seaforth, Huron, Ontario, Canada, not far from his brother, John Stewart in Tuckersmith. However, there are so many Alexander Stewarts in Huron County in the mid-1800s with similar family information that online researchers have hopelessly conflated them together in a manner that cannot be unraveled without travelling to Huron County and spending time in the archives. To further complicate things, Alexander's alleged wife, Rachel Brown (whose husband, Alexander Stewart, was the son of Alexander Stewart and Margaret Fleming, not Margaret McKinlay, so is probably not this Alexander Stewart) had two sisters who both married men named John Stewart. Thus, three Brown sisters married three Stewarts who may or may not have been related.
