• Notes

  According to Stewarts of the South, Robert was a shepherd on the Blair-Drummond estate. He had a son who was an "honest and industrious person". In 1788 (or 1787) Robert moved from Balquhidder to the Blair Drummond Moss in Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, where he began his family. In 1814, Robert and his family are found in the Drummond Moss Census residing at Summer's Lane No7. Former Possessor: Robert Stewart Present Possessor: Robert Stewart 52 yrs Mary McNie 50 " Children: Duncan 25 yrs Peter 22 " (As Peter is also shown below as dying in 1796 at age 3 months, and as Stewarts of the South shows Robert having only one son, it's possible that this Peter is a son-in-law, rather than a son.) Jannet 19 " Elizabeth 17 " Mary 13 " Isobel 10 " Christian 8 " Persons deceased Peter 1/4 1796 Croup (sic, This would make him born after his same-named brother above, which makes no sense. It is presumed this is a transcription error, possibly for 1790.) John 10yr 1800 Consumption (sic, John's birth is recorded in 1797. He could not have been 10 years old in 1800.) Years Settled on the Moss 26 years Where they came from: Balquhidder Possessions: Cats 2 Dogs Poultry 6 Swine Sheep Cows 2 Horses 1 Harrows Plough Carts Robert Stewart's wife, Mary McNie sent a family bible to their son, Dunan, in Canada, with the following inscription: "This Bible is Sent from Summer Lane Blair Drummond Mofs to Duncan Stewart son of Robert Stewart late of that Place by his Mother Mary (or Marg) McNie as the best blefsing she can send and may God be with you and yours is the earnest Prayer of your Mother. Summerlane 26 May 1842" From that inscription, we can identify Duncan's birth family as follows, however, there is no birth for Duncan himself. Robert Stewart and Mary McNie - Moss MARRIAGE 1787 May 19 Robert Stewart and Mary McNee both in this parish. BIRTHS 1791 March 27 Patrick, son to Robt Stewart and Mary McNie, Moss. 1793 June 27 Janet, daugr to Robt Stewart and Mary McNee, Moss. 1795 June 21 Elis, daugr to Robert Stewart and Mary McNie, Summer Line. 1797 July 30 John, son to Robert Stewart and ___ McNee, Summer Line. 1799 Septr 20 Mary, daugr to Robt Stewart and Mary McNee, Moss. 1802 Febry 21 Isobel, daugr tro Robt Stewart and Mary McNie, Moss.
