| Notes |
- John Stewart was born on 20 Nov 1800 in Brig o' Turk (probably Wester Brig o' Turk). He was the fourth generation of his family to reside at Brig o' Turk. John's father, Sgt. Walter Stewart, was evicted from Brig o' Turk for cutting down an oak tree. John is presumed to have been exempted from the eviction or permitted to return to Brig o' Turk as his children were all born in Brig o' Turk and he is found in census records residing in Brig o' Turk.
Stewarts of the South (Glenbuckie section) does not mention John Stewart by name. It mentions only that his father, Walter Stewart, had four sons. The following reference in the Stewarts of the South - Appendix for Callander parish is believed to apply to this John Stewart:
"Mr John Stewart, Wester Bridge of Turk of the family of Glenbuckie, a real Highlander of the good old character and in the Earl of Murrays property. £10. One of the eight sharers of Glenfinglas."
He would be on the young side, probably just about 20 at the time that the document was written. His father is not mentioned in the appendix as Aberfoyle parish is not covered in the parish-by-parish accounting.
On 16 Nov 1838, at 38 years of age, John Stewart married in Callander parish to Janet Menzies. They had three children.
In 1841, at age 35 (sic), John Stewart was residing in Mill of Turk (presumably the miller's residence at Brig o' Turk) in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. John was employed as a miller. He was residing with his wife, Janet, age 30, and a child of unknown relationship, John McNaughton, age 5.
In 1851, at age 48 (sic), John Stewart was residing at Bridge of Turk in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, employed as a meal miller. He was residing with his wife, Janet, 45, and their children Walter, 9, Henrietta, 7, and James, 4.
In 1861, at age 58 (sic), John Stewart was residing at Road 5 in Bridge of Turk in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland with his wife Janet, 50, and their son, James, 13. John is listed as a former meal miller. Also residing with them was 66 year old Mary McGregor who was likely related to John's mother, Polly McGregor.
In 1871, at age 72, John Stewart was residing at Bridge of Turk in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland with his wife Janet, 55, and their married daughter Henrietta Ferguson, 26, and her husband Duncan Ferguson, 24, and their child, Catherine Ferguson, 1. Mary McGregor, 78, was still residing with them.
John's death certificate is indexed as: 1881 death JOHN STEWART 83 mother's maiden name MACGREGOR Callander.
