• Notes

  Daniel's baptism in the Callander OPR gives his mother's name as "Janet Stewart." Daniel is recorded in Mitchell's Monumental inscriptions for Kilmahog Cemeter #25 as: "son Daniel, banker (at) Doune, 21 MAR 1857, age 69." Daniel Stewart was Schoolmaster in Doune prior to becoming the banker. Mackay, in his book, Doune Historical Notes, cites that sometime around 1818 Daniel Stewart, schoolmaster in Doune, became secretary of the Kilmadock Parish Savings Bank in Doune. In 1840 he became the first Doune agent of the Glasgow Union Banking Company (later known as the Union Bank of Scotland). In 1852 a man named William Morrison broke into Daniel Stewart's house by way of a window and stole a metal box containing just over £1000 (equivalent to about £60,000/$120,000 US/$150,000 Cdn today). The money was said to have been hidden under the schoolmaster's bed. Morrison was caught and sentenced to 14 years transportation to one of the colonies. The indictment also identifies Daniel's sister, Jean Stewart, as another victim of the crime; she had a thimble stolen. William Morrison - Robber Colleen Caygun, a descendant of William Morrison contacted us confirming that Morrison was tried and convicted on 21 Jul 1852 at Edinburgh and transported on 20 Sep 1856 to Australia and sentenced to 14 years. He was forced to leave behind a wife and two sons whom he never saw again. He eventually took a new wife in Australia and had a second family of 8 children whose descendants continue in Australia to this day. The 1841 census shows Daniel Stewart, b abt 1796 in Perthshire, res Doune School Lane, Kilmadock, occ teacher, residing with Janet McArthur, servant, age 15, and Alex McFarlan, age 6 (no relationship given). The 1851 census shows Daniel Stewart, b 1790 in Callander, res 6 Church St., Doune, Kilmadock, occ schoolmaster, with sister, Jean Stewart, b, 1788 in Callander, occ domestic, Ann Mclaren, b 1831 in Kilmadock, servant, Alexander McFarlane, nephew, b 1836 in Callander, scholar, and John McFarlane, nephew, b. 1840 in Callander, scholar. It would appear that Daniel never married nor had children.
