• Notes

  John's was born in 1829 in Kincardine by Doune parish, Perthshire, Scotland. His exact place of birth is not listed, but his father is shown in the 1814 Blair Drummond Moss Census as residing at Summer's Lane. Thus, Summer's Lane is inferred as John's place of birth. In 1851, at age 23, John Stewart was residing in Horton, Renfew, Ontario, Canada with his parents and siblings. He was employed at working on his father's farm. On 27 Apr 1858, at age 29, in Horton, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada, John Stewart married his first-cousin-once-removed, Margaret Stewart. John Stewart has not been found in 1861. In 1871, he is believed to be the John Stewart residing in Renfrew, Renfrew South, Ontario, Canada with his wife Margaret and children, Catherine, Daniel and J. John. In 1881, at age 51, John Stewart was residing in Horton, Renfrew South, Ontario, Canada, with his wife and young children. He was employed as a farmer. In 1891, at age 61, John Stewart was residing in Horton, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada, with his wife, her sister, Annie, and three of her brother John's children. "John Stewart, who succeeded his father in the old homestead, was with us for a time in his early days, when he learned the trade of shoemaking with Wm. Dickson. He became better known to us later on, when he and his like-minded wife became noted for their hospitality and for their abundant kindness to the needy and distressed. Now that she who so lovingly aided him in all these acts of kindness has been called away, he has become such a frequent visitor and is so deeply interested in the charitable work of our town, that he is counted as oen of the good helpers on whom we can always rely. True-hearted and open-handed friend that he is, he is loved by many and respect by all who know him." (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 is buried with his parents in Horton. Obituary The Late John Stewart - On Monday one of the staunch, kindly, sterling old men of Horton was laid to rest in Renfrew cemetery, a large number of friends following on to that spot all that was mortal of him who had long been known as John Stewart, Sr., of the Second Line. Son of the late James Stwart, a Horton pioneer, he was born in Perthshire, Scotland, 78 years and 11 months ago, coming to Canada with his parents a child in arms. He grew up in the township and always dwelt there, a witness of its development from a primeval forest into one of the banner farming communities of the province. His wife Margaret Stewart (a Stewart both before and after marriage) died seven years ago, since which time he dwelt on the homestead with his nephew, Thomas Stewart, and his wife. No family survives the fine old gentleman, but there are brothers and sisters, namely James and Robert of Pembroke; Mrs. Charles Reid, Grattan; Mrs. James Ward, Renfrew; Mrs. Geo. Eady, Renfew; Mrs. Archibald McVean, Pembroke. Deceased was a Presbyterian in religion and in politics a Liberal. His sickness was of about four weeks duration. Rev. J. Hay, B.D. conducted the funeral services and the pall-bearers were six nephews, namely, Thomas Stewart, Chas. Reid, James Stewart, John Stewart, Walker Eady, John McVean. -------------- 1851 Census for Renfrew, Ontario, Canada James Stewart; Farmer; born Perthshire, Scotland; Church of Scotland; age 55 Margaret Stewart, Mrs; born Perthshire, Scotland; Church of Scotland; age 46 John Stewart; works on farm; ditto; ditto; age 23 Mary Stewart; blank; born Horton, Canada West; ditto; age 19 Margaret Stewart; blank; born ditto; age 17 Katherine Stewart; blank; born ditto; age 15 Donald Stewart; works on farm; born ditto; age 13 James Stewart; works on farm; born ditto; age 11 Robert Stewart; blank; born ditto; age 9 Margery Stewart; blank; born ditto; age 6
