• Notes

  April 17, 2016 A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to the U. S. A. By Donald Whyte STEWART, Alexander, 1827-1874. From Perthshire. Son of John S. (q.v.) and Jane McLean (q.v.) To New York, 1833, later to Puslinch Township, Wellington, County, Ontario. Farmer. New church Methodist. M. Jean McCaig, from Cape Breton, with issue: (1) Mary; (2) John; (3) Donald; (4) Alexander; (5) Hector. (D.C. 23 Apr. 1967) Harold Stewart indicates Peter's birthplace was Meikle Logie, Perthshire Scotland, and can confirm that Peter was actually born Peter Steele to John Steele and Jean Maclean. Apparently, the Stewart name was adopted after they came to North America. A family dispute of of some sort had them adopting the surname Steele instead of Stewart for an extended period of time in Scotland. OPR records in Little Dunkeld confirm this family. Alexander was born Alexander Steele to parents John Steele and Jane McLean.
