• Notes

  Harold Stewart indicates Peter's birthplace was Meikle Logie, Perthshire Scotland, and can confirm that Peter was actually born Peter Steele to John Steele and Jean Maclean. Apparently, the Stewart name was adopted after they came to North America. A family dispute of of some sort had them adopting the surname Steele instead of Stewart for an extended period of time in Scotland. OPR records in Little Dunkeld confirm this family. Peter Stewart was born Peter Steele to parents John Steele and Jean McLean. According to http://puslinch.bravepages.com/con.1F%20lots%206-10.htm Peter and Flora moved to North Dakota in the late 19th century. Three daughters can be found residing in Tiverton, Bruce County, Ontario and being married there in the early 1880s. However there is no record of any of this family in the 1881 census. Neither is there any record of them in any American census in North Dakota for any year. One of Peter's sons-in-law is recorded as residing in North Dakota at the time of his marriage in Tiverton. That's as close as I can find to a connection to North Dakota. There is a record in the 1871 census index for a Peter Stewart, b abt 1821, residing in Grey Township, Huron North, Ontario who is a close match. The full record has not been consulted. Otherwise, this family seems to elude census records!
