Notes |
- James is recorded in Stewarts of the South as "Seamus MacPharic". ("Pharic" is a phonetic rendering of the local dialect pronunciation of Phadraig, or "Patrick". Thus "Seamus MacPharic" means "James, son of Patrick.") He is described in Stewarts of the South as a "tacksman of Inverlochlarig [in the] Braes of Balquhidder [on the] Earl of Murray's estate." His marriage and childrens' birth records have not been identified. However the following record looks extremely promising:
James STEWART and Mary MCFARLANE (MCPHARLANE) in Inverlochlarig Mor, Tighnabruaich, and Wester Invernenty
1. Robert STEWART, bap. 1 JAN 1756 (recorded on 22 APR 1756) in Innerlochraigmor
2. Patrick STEWART, bap. 13 JUL 1758 in Inverlochlaigvoir
3. John STEWART, bap. 8 SEP 1759 in Tighnabruaich ("house on the bank")
4. James STEWART, bap. 13 JUN 1762 in Wester Innernenty
5. Patrick STEWART, bap. 16 APR 1768 in Tighnabruaich?
It seems likely that Tighnabruaich was probably the name of a residence on the Inverlochlarig property and thus Tighnabruaich and Inverlochlarig can probably be considered as the same place. This family would be a perfect fit except for the first son, Robert.
