• Notes

  John Stewart was born on 20 Oct 1765 in Wester Ardveich, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, to Donald Stewart and Catherine McLaren. John Stewart was a tacksman at Wester Ardveich on the northwest shore of Loch Earn in Comrie parish, Perthshire, Scotland, where he lived until his son, Alexander, was about six-years-old, at which point he moved to Keip in Strathyre, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. As his father, Donald Stewart, was described as being a tacksman at Keip, it is presumed that Donald died about 1817 and that John succeeded his father at Keip. None of John Stewart's children continued in Keip. His sons Donald and Duncan are unaccounted for after 1817 and may have died young or emigrated. His son Robert moved to Aloa by 1828. His son Alexander was attending the University of Edinburgh about the same time. His son John immigrated to Canada in 1831. Given these migrations, it is suggest that John Stewart (Sr) likely died about 1828-1831. John is described in Stewarts of the South as "John Stewart, a tacksman at Keip (the original transcriber indicates this word is illegible) of Strathyre in Balquhidder, on Buchanan of Cambusmore’s estate. He has five sons: two adults and three under age.." The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol. 3, indicates that he married his second cousin Anne Stewart, daughter of James Og Stewart of 5 Line of the Stewarts of Dalveich, and that they were parents of the Free Kirk minister at Killin. Stewarts of the South says they had five sons, including two adults and three minors ca. 1815-20. Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions reveals the identity of the Free Church minister at Killin and allows us to identify the remainder of this family with confidence. According to John's son Alexander's obituary, John Stewart was a much-respected elder in the church at Balquhidder. ("His father and mother were of the Stewarts of Ardvoirlicb, an old Perthshire family that can trace its origin back to James, third son of Murdoch, Duke of Albany, Regent of Scotland, who died in 1425. When about six years of age his father removed to the parish of Balquhidder, where he rented a farm, and was well known for many years as a much-respected elder of the Church of Scotland.") "1795, July 25, John Stewart and Ann Stewart, both in this parish, were listed and after being regularly proclaimed, were married." (Comrie OPR)
