• Notes

  No birth record has been found for Margaret Gillespie. She is listed in her father's will, dated 1846 along with her husband, Duncan Stewart. A 1908 biography also mentions Margaret as the daughter of Hugh Gillespie and Mary Reid. Margaret had relations with William Hutton, but whom she had a son William, born 1820 in Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland. It is presumed that William Hutton Sr. died shortly thereafter as Margaret married in 1827 in Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland to Duncan Stewart from Summerline on Flanders Moss, Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland. The marriage was also registered in nearby Kincardine by Doune parish. Duncan and Margaret had three children in Kilmadock before immigrating to Canada. Duncan and Margaret died unexpectedly young in 1848-49, it is believed from smallpox. Their orphaned children were said to have been raised by Margaret's parents, but Margaret's father, Hugh, died at the same time, so this tradition appears to be incorrect. Margaret's father, Hugh, in his will, specifies that Margaret's husband, Duncan Stewart, still owes him a sum of money, which Duncan wrongly presumed was forgiven by Hugh. Hugh clarifies that the debt is still owing and exceeds any amount which Duncan would have inherited.
