• Notes

  John was born in Ardveich, Comrie, Perthshire Scotland, on the east side of the Beich Burn in Glen Beich. In 1829, at the age of 27, John Stewart was residing in Kilmadock parish, Perthshire, Scotland, when he married Christian McIntyre who came from Carnlia, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, on the west side of the Beich Burn in Glen Beich. In 1831, John Stewart immigrated to Renfrew, Ontario, Canada with his wife and her extended family. They had an infant daughter Ann with them. They stopped briefly in Grenville, Quebec, Canada, where their second daughter Margaret was born, before finally settling in Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada. John Stewart and his family lived near Burnstown, east of Stewarton in McNab township, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada. “Then, for a time, Rev. Mr. Fairbairn, the Ramsay minister, came occasionally to visit the people. And in connection with his coming, there occurred one of the early and memorable tragedies of the district. It was probably about the year 1835 that the people were going to meet with Mr. Fairburn at John Fisher’s on the south side of the Madawaska, near Burnstown. Those on the north side went across in canoes. A number had safely crossed the swiftly swirling waters at that point, on this side as on former occasions; but the canoe containing John McNab (known as Auchessan McNab), John Stewart (father of the late “Churchfield John”, and the blacksmith McArthur with his two children, capsized. McArthur managed to swim ashore with one child, but McNab, Stewart, and the other child were all swept down by the current and drowned. For many days the neighbours “dragged” the waters till the bodies were found." (The Story of Renfrew - From the Coming of the First Settlers About 1820 by W. E. Smallfield and Rev. Robert Campbell, D.Sc. Renfrew, Smallfield and Son, 1919) John Stewart is listed on the following McLaren/McIntyre stone in Renfrew, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada.
