• Notes

  Possible birth for James: 1789 Feby 5 Robert Stewart and Katharine Stewart in Kirktown had a child baptized and called James. James is described in Stewarts of the South as going by the nickname of "The Earl of Kinoul" and having four minor sons, ca. 1815-1820. There is only one contemporary James in the Balquhidder OPR with more than one son. Thus it is suggested that James Stewart in Woodend may be the James Stewart who married Margaret MCNAB, although no record of their marriage has been found, and had the following children: Robert, James, Janet, John and Donald. The nickname "Earl of Kinnoull" may be explained by the possibility that his eldest suggested son, Robert, had his birth registered in Dunning, Perthshire, not far from Kinnoull. Robert's birth appears to have been double-registered in Glenturret, Monzievaird, Perthshire, Scotland. (See notes on Robert for further information.) James' confirmed daughter, Janet, married Andrew Taylor and moved to Culcrieff, which happens to be at the foot of Glen Turret in Monzievaird. In 1841, at age 50, James Stewart was residing at Callander No. 1 in Callander Village, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, employed as a flesher (butcher). He was residing with his wife Margaret and his son John (also a flesher), along with 79 year old Donald Fryman (possibly a transcription error), and 15 year old Margaret McLaren. In 1851, at age 60, James Stewart was residing at 63 Square in Callander Village, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, employed as a flesher (butcher). Residing with him were his wife Margaret and 33 year old son John, as well as two servants. In 1861, at age 73, James Stewart was residing at 8 Square in Callander Village, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland with his wife Margaret. He was a retired flesher (butcher). In 1871, James' widow, Margaret Stewart, was residing alone at Square in Callander Village, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. No matching burial record has been found.
