Alexander Stewart, Land Surveyor in England, b. Abt 1760, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland , d. UNKNOWN, England   

Alexander Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1760, based on the ages of his siblings, although no birth record has been found for Alexander.

It is not known if he had daughters in addition to his two sons and it is not known if his children were born before or after he moved to England. His wife is also unknown. Alexander has not been identified in public records in Scotland or England.

Anne Stewart and Alexander Stewart had one recorded child in 1826.

Marriage and Children

Anne Stewart married on 28 Dec 1822 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland  to Alexander Stewart, in Wester Dullater, b. 1801, Wester Dullater, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland , d. Between 1851 and 1857  (Age 50 years). He was the son of James Stewart in Wester Dullater. His ancestry has not been identified, but may descend from the Invernahyle Stewarts in Doune.

Anne and Alexander Stewart had the following child:

1. Margaret Stewart, b. 10 Jul 1826, Wester Dullater, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland , d. 5 Dec 1878, Larbert, Stirlingshire, Scotland   (Age 52 years)

Two years later, Anne Stewart died and her widower husband remarried.

James Stewart, in Edraleachdach and Lorachan, b. 18 Mar 1805, Edraleachdach, Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland , d. 15 Oct 1870, Edraleachdach, Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland   (Age 65 years) 

James Stewart was born 18 Mar 1805 in Edraleachdach in Strathgartney in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland to Walter Stewart and Elizabeth McDonald in Edraleachdach and Lorrachan.

James Stewart was only 17 years old when his father, Walter Stewart, died and James inherited the farmstead of Edraleachdach and Lorachan. James never married nor had any children.

In 1841, at age 30, James Stewart was residing in Edraleachdach, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his widowed mother. He was employed as a farmer.

In 1851, at age 46, James Stewart was residing in Edraleachdach, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his niece Margaret Stewart (10). He was employed as a farmer and grazier of 20 acres, employing two labourers.

In the 1857 Valuation Roll, James Stewart in Edraleachdach is listed as a tenant in Wester Dullater under the proprietorship of Mrs Agnes Eastmonth (McNaughton). Wester Dullater belonged to his sister Anne Stewart’s husband, Alexander Stewart. James Stewart in Edraleachdach is also listed as a tenant in Hill Grazings of Invertrossachs, for which the proprietor was Mrs Jane Hunter (Eastmonth). She was also proprietor of Farm of Cuilnagrain, tenanted by Robert Stewart, Mansion House of Invertrossachs, Home Farm and Grain Parks (of Invertrossachs), tenanted by Stewart McNaughton Esq.

On 15 Oct 1870, at age 65, James Stewart died at Edraleachdach, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. Upon his death, the farmstead of Edraleachdach and Lorrachan passed with conditions to his brother Archibald Stewart as noted in the testament below. It appears that Archibald did not meet these conditions and the farmstead was sold by the trustees. (See notes on Archibald Stewart for more information.)

Archibald Stewart, Last in Edra and in Monachyle, b. 11 Apr 1807, Edraleachdach, Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland , d. 27 Feb 1896, Monachyle, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland   (Age 88 years)

Mary Stewart was born 25 July 1811 in Edraleachdach, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as the daughter of Walter Stewart and Elizabeth McDonald.

On 16 Jan 1835, Mary Stewart married in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, to Robert Stewart in Drunkie.

Mary Stewart is incorrectly described in The Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Vol. 3, in reference to her husband: “Robert [Stewart], a farmer at Drunkie, who married Monachyle’s sister.” Whereas, Mary was actually the daughter of Monachyle’s sister. It was her mother, Elizabeth McDonald, who was the sister of Donald and John McDonald, both of Monachyle in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland.

In 1841, at age 25, Marion Stewart was residing at #1 Drunkie in Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland, with her husband and children.

Mary Stewart’s husband, Robert Stewart, is presumed to have died between 1849-1851, although no record of his death has been found.

In 1851, at age 38, Mary Stewart was residing without her husband at Little Mills, Kincardine, Perthshire, Scotland, with her young children. She is identified as a householder. Her husband’s whereabouts is unknown.

Sometime between 1857-1861, Mary Stewart’s husband, Robert Stewart, died.

In 1861, at age 49, Mary Stewart was residing at Loan’s (?) in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with her children. (No such place is known. This is a transcription error at Ancestry. It’s likely Stron/Stroan/Strone.) She was identified as “formerly a farmer’s wife.”

In 1871, at age 59, Mary Stewart was residing at Lorachan House, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with her daughters Christina and Robina. She was identified as a retired farm widow.

In 1881, at age 69, Mary Stewart was residing at Lorachan Villa, Callander, Pertshire, Scotland, with her daughter Robina Carson’s family. She is identified as a householder.

In 1891, at age 79, Mary Stewart was residing at Lorachen House, Leny Fues, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with her daughters Robina Corson and Christina Langmuir.

Mary Stewart died a few months later on 5 Aug 1891 in Lorachan, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland.

More information on this family is presented on our Stewarts in Strone page.

Elisabeth Stewart,   b. 31 Jan 1817, Edraleachdach, Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN

Elisabeth Stewart was born 31 Jan 1817 in Edraleachdach, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. She has not been found in any later records and is not mentioned in her brother James’ will. She is presumed to have died young.

Walter Stewart, b. 8 Feb 1848, Wester Dullater, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland , d. UNKNOWN. Walter Stewart’s birth was registered in 1848. He is not found with his family in 1851 or any later census record. It is presumed that he died in infancy.

John Stewart,   b. Abt 1850, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN. 

No record of John Stewart’s birth has been found. He is only found in the 1871 census with his parents. It is tempting to suggest that he is identical to his brother, Archibald John Stewart, except that Archibald and John Stewart are both found together as two separate sons living with their parents in the 1871 census. No other record of John has been found.

Archibald John Stewart, b. 28 Aug 1850, Wester Dullater, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland , d. UNKNOWN.

In 1851, at 7 months, Archibald J Stewart was residing at Wester Dullater, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings.

Archibald Stewart, along with the rest of his family, has not been found in 1861.

In 1871, at age 20, Archibald Stewart was residing in Edra (Edraleachdach), Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings (including his brother John Stewart). He was employed as a farm servant.

He may be the Archibald J Stewart found in 1881, at age 31, residing at Bracklinn Cottage, Main Street, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife, Bessie, and son Archibald. However, there is insufficient evidence to confirm this is the same person.

Archibald Stewart has not been confidently identified in later records.

Marriage and Children

Archibald Stewart married to Bessie Stewart,   b. Abt 1850, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN. Her birth family is unknown. They had the following child:

1. 1. Archie Stewart,   b. 1870, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN

Elizabeth Stewart,   b. 2 Mar 1853, Wester Dullater, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN.

Elizabeth Stewart was born 2 Mar 1853 in Wester Dullater, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland to Archibald Stewart and Janet Buchanan.

In 1861, at age 8, Elizabeth Stewart was residing at Mollandhouse, Lotts of Callander Village, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, in the home of her grandmother Isabella Buchanan (nee Doig).

In 1871, at age 17, Elizabeth Stewart was residing at Edra, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with her parents and siblings. She was employed as housekeeper.

Elizabeth Stewart has not been confidently identified in later records. Some online trees claim she married in 1875 in Glasgow to John Sinton and then moved to England, but this is not confirmed.

Duncan Stewart, b. 29 Nov 1853, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland , d. UNKNOWN.

Duncan Stewart was born 29 Nov 1853 in Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, to Archibald Stewart and Janet Buchanan.

In 1861, at age 9, Duncan Stewart was residing in Whirneston, Kincardine, Perthshire, Scotland, in the home of Duncan McFarlane. He was employed as a herd.

In 1871, at age 18, Duncan Stewart was residing at Strone Farmhouse, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, with his widowed father and siblings. He was employed as a farm servant.

Duncan Stewart has not been confidently identified in the 1881 census. His later whereabouts is unknown. He is not the Duncan Stewart who died 26 Feb 1891 in Virden, Manitoba, Canada. That is his maternal cousin, Duncan Stewart, born 22 Dec 1853, son of Duncan Stewart and Magdalene Stewart.

 John? Stewart,   b. Abt 1760, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN

There is no record that John exists. There is a four-year gap into which an extra birth likely fits and, if our accounting is correct, then Robert’s eldest son should be named John. If this John existed at all, it is presumed that he died in childhood as he is not named in Stewarts of the South.

James Stewart, b. 29 Jan 1762, Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland , d. UNKNOWN.

James Stewart was born 20 Jan 1762 in Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as the son of Robert Stewart and Elizabeth McFarlane, however his baptism was recorded in Aberfoyle parish. He was likely born at Letter of Strathgartney where his brother George was born two years later.

Stewarts of the South describes James Stewart as the eldest son or Robert Stewart in Gartmore: “James Stewart, [a] cottager [in] Aberfoil [in the] Lordship of Monteith. He has two sons with their father.

There is no family in the Aberfoyle parish register that matches this description, however the following family in Gartmore is an excellent match. It fits chronologically, geographically, and onomastically. However, it is not confirmed.

James Stewart and Agnes McNab:

1. 1. Janet F 15/8/1791 daughter of James Agnes McNab in Gartmore
   2. Robert M 10/12/1793 son of James Agnes McNab
   3. James M 13/11/1794 son of James Agnes McNab in Gartmore
   4. Helen F 19/3/1797 daughter of James Agnes McNab in Gartmore
   5. Peter M 13/4/1801 son of James Agnes McNab Gartmore born 13 Apr bapt 16 Apr 1801

George Stewart, b. 5 Aug 1764, Letter, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland , d. Aft 1815  (Age > 52 years) 

George Stewart was born 5 Aug 1764 in Letter of Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as the son of Robert Stewart and Elizabeth McFarlane. (Letter is located on the north shore of Loch Katrine, nextdoor to Edraleachdach, George’s father’s birthplace.)

Stewarts of the South has incorrectly George’s name as James Stewart:

“James (sic, George) Stewart, [who is a] householder [in the] village of Gartmore. [He has] three sons: the first is a mason; the second a gardener; the third is a shoemaker.”

The following family is the only George Stewart in Gartmore, however, this family is a generation too late to be correct:

George Stewart and Catherine Cairns

1. 1. James M 22/10/1812 son of Geo. Catherine Cairns Gartmore
   2. Mary F 22.12/1817 daughter of George Catharine Cairns
   3. George M 30/11/1818 son of George Catharine Cairns Gartmore born 30 Nov bapt 20 Dec 1818

Duncan David Stewart,   b. 12 Apr 1767, Gartmore, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. Aft 1815  (Age > 49 years)

Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: “Duncan Stewart, [who is] a labourer in Glasgow [and has] a family of sons.” He is recorded at his baptism in the Port of Menteith parish register by his substitute name of “David” Stewart.

Duncan/David has not been found in later records.

Patrick Stewart,   b. Abt 1770, Gartmore, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland 

No birth record has been found for Patrick Stewart.

Patrick is described in Stewarts of the South as: “Patrick Stewart [who is] a tailor in Glasgow. [He has] four or five sons.”

Charles Stewart,   b. 30 Oct 1714, Tombae, Strathyre, Callander, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN.

Beatrice Stewart,   b. 4 Nov 1718, Blairgarry, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN. 

The Callander Parish Register records that James Steuart and Janet Mckermit in Blairgary had a daughter born on 4 Nov 1718 and baptized on 11 Nov 1718, named Bettrice.

Duncan Stewart, in Coilantogle (Edra 4-Line),   b. 10 Apr 1719, Coilantogle, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN.

Duncan Stewart’s information is presented further below under 4-Line.

Mary Stewart,   b. 24 Feb 1721, Coilantogle, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. Bef 1724  (Age < 2 years)

Mary’s mother’s surname is recorded as McKernin in our transcription of the Callander Parish Register. This is believed to be a transcription error for McKeown. Mary is presumed to have died prior to the birth of her same-named sister in 1724.

Mary’s exact place of birth is not recorded in the Callander Parish Register, but is presumed to be Coilantogle where her other contemporary siblings were born.

Catherine Stewart, b. 17 Apr 1721, Coilantogle, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland , d. UNKNOWN.

The Callander Parish Register records that James Steuart and Janet Mcenan in Culinogle had a daughter born on 17 Apr 1721 and baptized on 19 Apr 1721, named Catherine.

Elizabeth Stewart,   b. 29 May 1723, Blairgarry, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN.

The Callander Parish Register records that James Stuart and Jan? McKarmin? in Blargary had a daughter born on 29 May 1723 and baptized on 2 Jun 1723, named Elizabeth. (The question marks indicate that the original entry was difficult to read and the transcriber is unscertain of the transcription.)

Mary Stewart,   b. 15 Jan 1724, Coilantogle, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN.

The Callander Parish Register records that James Stuart and Jan. Mceuan in Culinteagle had a daughter, Mary born on the 15th and baptized on the 19th. However there is no month given in the entry. It is recorded between 2 Dec 1723 and 13 Mar 1724, so it could represent 15 Dec 1723, 15 Jan 1724 or 15 Feb 1724. The January date has been chosen arbitrarily to record it in this database. Her actual date of birth could be any one of those three dates.

James Stewart, Baker in Dunfermline?,   b. 30 Nov 1726, Glengarry, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN.

James Stewart was born 30 Nov 1726 in Glengarry, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as the son of James Stewart and Janet McKeoun. Glengarry has not been found on maps and is likely a cottage on the Blairgarry estate on the north shore of Loch Venacher.

On 6 Dec 1755, the Callander parish register records the marriage of John Stewart and Catharine Ferguson. This is believed to be a clerical error for James Stewart and Catharine Ferguson. (“1755, John (sic?) Stewart in this parish and Catharine Fergusson in the parish of Balquhidder listed themselves to be proclaimed in order to marriage 6th Dec and were married 17th December​.” — This entry is shown as John Stewart in our transcription and ScotlandsPeople, but no children are found for such a couple and no marriage is found for the following couple.)

An alternate possible marriage has been found on 28 Jan 1758 in Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland for James Stewart and Katherine Ferguson.

On 5 Feb 1757, James Stewart and Katherine Ferguson had twins, James and Janet, in Edraleachdach in Upper Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, after which they disappear from records.

James Stewart may be the person referred to in Stewarts of the South as “The above Duncan (patriarch of 4 Line) had a brother [who was] a baker in Dunfermline with a family.”

James Stewart and Katherine Ferguson had the following twins:

1. 1. James Stewart,   b. 5 Feb 1757, Edraleachdach, Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN 
   2. Janet Stewart,   b. 5 Feb 1757, Edraleachdach, Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN

Alexander Stewart,   b. 1 Dec 1728, Culnagrain, Port of Menteith, Perth, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN 

Alexander Stewart was born 1 Dec 1728 in Culnagrain, near Drunkie, in Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of James Stewart and Janet McKeoun. Culnagrain is not far from Bad Biorach where his mother was born. (“1728 – Dec 1st, Baptized Alex’r lawful son to James Stuart and Janet McKeoun in Culnagrein. Wittnesses: Robert Mitchell and John Tyler.” — Callander Parish Register)

As this Alexander Stewart shares his forename with his half-brother, it is likely that he either died young or had a by-name to distinguish him from his same-named half-brother.

Walter Stewart, Baker in Dunfermline?,   b. 25 Feb 1730, Milntown of Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN.

Walter Stewart was born 25 Feb 1730 in Milntown of Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland as a son of James Stewart and Janet McKeoun. His mother’s surname was recorded as McIrnin in the Callander Parish Register.

On 21 Apr 1758 Walter Stewart married in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, to Mary Stewart. (“1758, Walter Stewart and Mary Stewart both in this parish were listed to be proclaimed in order to marriage 8th April and after being orderly proclaimed were married 21st.” — Callander Parish Register)

Walter Stewart and Mary Stewart began their family in Edraleachdach on the north shore of Loch Katrine in Upper Strathgartney in the remote west end of Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland. They had one recorded child in 1759 then disappear from records until 1767 when they appear to be found in Glenbuckie. However, the latter Glenbuckie family could be a separate family with same-named parents.

Walter Stewart may be the person referred to in Stewarts of the South as “The above Duncan (patriarch of 4 Line) had a brother [who was] a baker in Dunfermline with a family.”

Marriage and Children

Walter Stewart married on 21 Apr 1758 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland  to Mary Stewart,   b. 1728, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN. They had the following children:

1. 1. James Stewart,   b. 8 Jun 1759, Edraleachdach, Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN
   2. Janet Stewart,   b. Abt 19 Nov 1767, Immereoin, Glenbuckie, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN
   3. John Stewart,   b. 3 Dec 1773, Lianach of Glenbuckie, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN 

Donald Stewart, in Summerline,   b. Abt 1773, Coilantogle, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN.

Donald Stewart has not been identified in public records. Stewarts of the South c. 1815 says that Donald resided at Summerline on the Flanders Moss.

Donald, [at] Summerline Flanders Moss [in] Kincardine parish. [He has] four sons: two of them [are] soldiers who performed actions becoming the descendants of their progenitors; the other two [are] with their father

However, the 1814 Blair Drummond Moss Census shows no such person. Stewarts of the South is wrong in its description of Donald Stewart. Even if Stewarts of the South got his name wrong, there is no stray Stewart family on the Moss that could be him that hasn’t been accounted for already in our database.

The only possible match in the 1814 Blair Drummond Moss Cenus is a residence that shows a Donald Stewart formerly living there. However, the Blair Drummond Moss Census was conducted at least 1-3 years prior to the authoring of Stewarts of the South. The only other possiblity is that Donald moved to the moss after 1814 and prior to the authoring of Stewarts of the South.

Kirk Lane No17; Former Possessor: Donald Stewart; Present Possessor: John Campbell 31 yrs; Margt. McFarlane his moth 55″. Children: Peter his brother 21 yrs, Catherine 28 “, Donald 19 “, Alexander 17 “, Duncan 15 “, Jannet 12”. Persons deceased: Duncan 40yrs 1794 Consumption, Alexander 18 mo. 1794 Consumption.

Donald Stewart was the father of:

1. 1. _____ Stewart,   b. Abt 1790, Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN
   2. _____ Stewart,   b. Abt 1793, Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN 
   3. _____ Stewart,   b. Abt 1795, Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN
   4. _____ Stewart,   b. Abt 1798, Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN 

John Stewart, Innkeeper in Doune,   b. Abt 1775, Coilantogle, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN.

John Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1775 in Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of Duncan Stewart in Coilantogle, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, of 4-Line of the Stewarts of Edraleachdach.

Stewarts of the South c. 1815 identifies John Stewart as an innkeeper in the village of Doune, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland:

3. John, [who is an] innkeeper [in] Doune. [He has] three sons [who are] minors.”

John Stewart is also listed in the Appendix to Stewarts of the South along with his brother, Duncan Stewart in Colvey. John is shown as residing in Doune:

8. Duncan Stewart, tenant [in] Culvui (Cuilbhuidh), of the Glenbuckie family, industrious, [on] Buchanan of Auchleshie’s property, £20
9. John Stewart, his brother, [illegible*] in Doune property and lands, a real Christian of Bowles, the above family (Glenbuckie), [on the] Earl [of] Murray’s estate, £20
(* Likely “Innkeeper” or similar. These match the descriptions of Edraleachdach 4-Line.)

There are only two persons named John Stewart listed in the Kilmadock parish register as having children at this time. The other John has already been accounted for in our database and the John shown here was having children in Doune. His earliest confirmed children were born in Auchleshie, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland in the far northwest end of the parish, very close to the village of Callander, a mere 3 km from Coilantogle. Auchleshie is located on the Keltie Burn which forms the boundary between Kilmadock and Callander parishes.

If correctly identified, then John Stewart married on 2 Dec 1803 in Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland to Janet McQueen. They had seven children, first in Auchleshie and later in Doune.

However, his earliest confirmed son’s name is James Buchanan Stewart which does not fit onomastically if his father’s name was supposedly Duncan, unless John was not following the traditional naming pattern.

A birth is registered for a son, Duncan Stewart, born 5 May 1792 in Callander village to parents John Stewart and Katherine McNab. They have no other recorded children and no marriage has been found for them. This could be an earlier relationship for the same John Stewart whose wife may have died. Or it could be a different John Stewart who emigrated.

None of the children shown here to John Stewart, from either supposed relationship have been found in later records in Scotland. The entire family disappears from Scottish records after 1819 which suggests they likely emigrated after 1820 (the estimated time of the completion of Stewarts of the South) and prior to the 1841 census. Their destination has not been found. No online trees have been found to claim descent from this family. As hundreds of emigrant ships sank in this time period, it’s possible that this family never made it to their destination.

John Stewart is presumed to have married Katherine McNab,   b. Abt 1770, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN. They had the following child:

1. 1. Duncan Stewart,   b. 5 May 1792, Callander Village, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN

John Stewart married on 2 Dec 1803 in Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland  to Janet McQueen,   b. Abt 1780, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN. This may be a second marriage for John Stewart. They had the following children:

1. 1. James Buchanan Stewart,   b. 29 Nov 1804, Auchleshie, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN
   2. Murray Stewart,   b. 1 Mar 1807, Auchleshie, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN
   3. Robert Stewart,   b. 10 Jun 1809, Doune, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN
   4. Janet Stewart,   b. 11 Aug 1812, Doune, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN
   5. John McKerrow Stewart,   b. 18 Sep 1814, Doune, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN

   7. James Stewart,   b. 24 Mar 1819, Doune, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN

None of these children have been found in later records. Their later whereabouts is unknown.

Christian Stewart,   b. 18 Jul 1797, Drummondend, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. 15 Jul 1866, Portnellan, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland   (Age 68 years).

Christian Stewart was born 18 Jul 1797 in Drummondend, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, as a daughter of Duncan Stewart and Christian Walker. The Kilmadock OPR records Christian’s place of birth as “Drymanend.” Her baptism was witnessed by John and Alexander Buchanan both at Drymanend. Christian’s birth is also recorded in the Callander parish register on 15 Jul 1797 and baptized on 16 Jul 1797 with parents Duncan Stewart and Christian Walker in “Ballamactavish parish of Doune.”

In 1841, at age 40, Christian Stewart was residing at Buchany, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland. Also residing with her was 17-year-old Helen Stewart. (Helen is believed to be the daughter of Alexander Stewart, 3rd in Carse of Cambus.)

In 1851, at age 53, Christian Stewart was residing at Buchany, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland. She was employed as a laundress.

In 1861, at age 55 (sic), Christian Stewart was residing at Colvey (Colveny or Heads), Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, in the home of her brother, Archibald Stewart. She was employed as a domestic servant. Also residing with them was their 1-year-old nephew, Peter Stewart (son of her brother, Peter Stewart).

“Christian Stewart, housekeeper, single, died 1866 Jul 15 in Portnellan, Callander, age 60 years, daughter of Duncan Stewart, outdoor labourer, and Christian Walker. Informant: Peter Stewart, brother.”

John Stewart has not been found in later records.

James Stewart,   b. Abt 15 Sep 1801, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN.

James Stewart was born 15 Sep 1801 in Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland as a son of Duncan Stewart and Christian Walker. James’ baptism is missing from our Kilmadock parish register transcription so we do not know his exact place of birth though it is likely either Drummond or Colveny.

James Stewart has not been found in later records.

Janet Stewart,   b. 16 Mar 1804, Colveny, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN.

Janet Stewart was born 16 Mar 1804 in Colveny (Heads), Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, as a daughter of Duncan Stewart and Christian Walker. Janet’s baptism was witnessed by Mr Murray and William Headrick both at Kilmadock.

Janet Stewart has not been found in later records. Nothing more is known of her.

Archibald Stewart, b. 29 Jan 1807, Colveny, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland , d. 7 Jul 1864, Portnellan, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland   (Age 57 years)

Archibald Stewart was born 29 Jan 1807 in Colveny (Heads), Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of Duncan Stewart and Christian Walker. Archibald’s baptism was witnessed by John Forbes at Ballacaish and Mr Murray at Kilmadock.

He may be the Archibald Stewart, age 30, residing at Dullatermore (Wester Dullater), Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland, single, and employed as an agriculturalist. Or this may be his identically aged cousin, Archibald Stewart in Edraleachdach who was residing at Wester Dullater in 1851. No other potential match has been found in 1841.

Archibald Stewart has not been found in the 1851 census.

In 1861, at age 51, Archibald Stewart was residing at Colvey, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland. He was employed as an agricultural labourer. Also residing with him was his sister Christian (54) and nephew Peter (1).

Archibald Stewart, farmer, single, died 1864, July 7th, Portnellan, Callander, aged 54 years, son of Duncan Stewart, agricultural labourer (deceased) and Christian Stewart (nee Walker). Informant: Peter Stewart, brother.

John Stewart is not found with his parents in 1841 or any later records and is presumed to have died young.

Malcolm Stewart,   b. 9 May 1830, Kincardine, Perthshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN

Malcolm Stewart was born 9 May 1830 in Kincardine, Perthshire, Scotland as a son of Robert Stewart and Christian McLaren. His exact location of birth is not given in his baptism registration.

In 1841, at age 11, Malcolm Stewart was residing at Cowan Street in St. Ninian’s parish in Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings.

Malcolm Stewart has not been found in later Scottish records. Potential matches have been found in both England and Canada. Further evidence is need to confirm if any of these are the same Malcolm Stewart.

Cpl. Peter Stewart,   b. 28 Jan 1832, Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland ,   d. UNKNOWN.

Peter Stewart was born 28 Jan 1832 in Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland as a son of Robert Stewart and Christian McLaren.

It is believed that sometime in the early-mid 1850s Peter Stewart joined the 92nd Regiment of Foot (“The Gordon Highlanders”). The regiment embarked for India in January 1858 to help suppress the Indian Rebellion and were engaged in fighting at the Siege of Delhi and the Siege of Lucknow. The regiment embarked for home in January 1863 and returned to India in 1868.

Peter Stewart has not been found in 1861 and is believed to have been in India at the time.

Peter Stewart is presumed to have met his future bride, Georgina, while on furlough in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland between 1863-1868. They are believed to have married just prior to Peter’s regiment returning to India in 1868, although no record of their marriage has been found. Georgina’s maiden name is not known; it may have been Stewart.

On 9 Feb 1869, Peter and Georgina Stewart had a son, Robert Stewart, in Jullundur, Punjab, India.

Jalandhar is a city is in the northwestern state of Punjab and was known as Jullundur during British rule. “In 1849, following the annexation of the Punjab by the East India Company, the city of Jalandhar, written in English as Jullundur by company officials, became the headquarters of the division and District of the same name. In 1858, company rule in India ended and the city became part of the British Raj.” (Wikipedia)

Shortly after the birth of their child, Peter and Georgina Stewart returned to Scotland with their newborn son.

In 1871, at age 38, Peter Stewart was residing at 74 John Street in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with his wife and their young son, Robert. Peter was employed as a Corporal in the 92nd Regiment of Foot (“The Gordon Highlanders”).

Meanwhile, his wife and children were residing at Torbrex in St. Ninians, Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland, where Nisbet was employed as a picker in a mill. Whether Peter and Nisbet were separated or whether Peter was merely temporarily in Aberdeen at the time is unknown.

Peter Stewart has not been found in the 1901 census, but his wife and adult children were residing at 2 Stripside in St. Ninians, Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scotland.

Peter Stewart’s date of death is unknown.
