Perthshire / Re: Robertson of Riemore
« on: Tuesday 24 June 25 21:29 BST (UK)  »
If you go to James Stobie's map of Perthshire 1783

https://maps.nls.uk/view/74400314

You will see that there is a settlement north of Balnabigan and south of Guay and Balintuime.

It is called 'Lead', so we think that your 'inlaitt' is meant to be 'in Lead'

Midlothian / McGlashan families
« on: Saturday 21 June 25 09:23 BST (UK)  »
We are looking for family connections concerning James McGlashan, chairmaster in Edinburgh, in the 1740s onwards. We have documented proof that he originated from Invervack in Blair Atholl parish, the son of James McGlashan (MacGlashan / Mackglashan etc)

His first wife was Agnes Williamson, daughter of William Williamson, upholsterer in South Leith.

Second wife was Elizabeth Wat or Watt, daughter to William Wat, turner in Dalkeith, later in the Canongate parish.

There are several children from each marriage, some with uncommon forenames such as Dick and Moore (male). Some of the baptisms are not obvious on ScotlandsPeople as the Edinburgh OPR has incorrect forename for James McGlashan.

There also is a John McGlashan, merchant in Edinburgh, who seems to have been a relative.

Perthshire / Atholl Brigade '45 Jacobite Rising
« on: Monday 17 March 25 21:53 GMT (UK)  »
Is anyone claiming descent from either Donald Stewart of Dalvorest or Patrick Stewart of Easter Invervack?

In the book 'No Quarter Given' - The muster roll of Prince Charles Edward Stuart's army, 1745-46, David Stewart of Balvorest is listed as a captain in the Atholl Brigade.  This should be Capt. Donald Stewart of Dalvorest (Slochd Dail Mhoraisd in Glentilt). The exhibition centre at Culloden was displaying 'the white knife of Dail Mhoraisd' at one time. He was married to Beatrice / Beatrix / Beattie / Betty Stewart. Children seem to include Janet, Beatrix, Grissel and Marjory.

In the same book Patrick Stewart of Easter Invervack is listed as a captain in the Atholl Brigade, He was taken prisoner and was pardoned on condition that he enlisted in the Hanovarian army.  It is uncertain whether he married or had any children.

Canada / Re: Robert Stewart and Isabel McGlashan in Lochaber N.S.
« on: Saturday 16 March 24 22:21 GMT (UK)  »
Looking over all of the available material concerning Allan Stewart and Susan Stewart, we are fairly convinced that Susan Stewart was the eldest daughter of Robert Stewart and Isabel McGlashan as it would fit with what we know of the rest of that family.

Allan Stewart has been researched by the descendants but we have some reservations.  As there are so few Allan Stewarts (in the whole of Scotland) born around 1813, it is quite likely that Susan's husband was the son of Donald Stewart and Elizabeth Cumming as recorded by the descendants. The family were living in Rannoch at Innerhaddon, so the two families came from the same area and there was a baptist mission in that area.

However, as Familysearch/Trees/Pedigrees warns, her parents could not have been Allan Cumming and Christian McFarlane - she would have been too young. 

We would suggest that she was the daughter of Alexander Cumming and Mary Menzies in Torrachruie, born/baptised Fortingall 12th October 1783, the eldest of eight children.

Allan had an older brother, Duncan, b 16th February 1811 and about whom we know nothing.  Did he emigrate with Allan?

Perthshire / Re: Stewart families from the Perthshire areas

You need to provide as much information as possible if you are wanting people to help -

Where was Donald Stewart born?
Where did he die?
Is there a headstone or an obituary?
Where and when did he get married?
Are you giving 'MacHardy' as a middle name or as a maiden name?
Are there registered birth / deaths of children?

SP is ScotlandsPeople - the government department web-site.  You buy Credits - it's not too expensive.  If you know the locality of the death, approximate age or name of mother you can narrow it down.

STEWART MARGARET  73y ROBERTSON F  1883  424 / 73  DUNFERMLINE
(So her mother's maiden name was Robertson)

The Caputh one we have on file....
She was the widow of Alexander Stewart, farmer, and died at West Lodge, Caputh
She was the daughter of John Robertson and Janet Robertson (same maiden name) and the informant on the death certificate was Jessie Stewart, her daughter

Perthshire / Cumming Families in the Parishes of Fortingall and Blair Atholl
« on: Friday 16 February 24 21:06 GMT (UK)  »
One cluster of families by the name of Cumming / Cumin lived around the Kinloch Rannoch area, where parts of four parishes met - Fortingall, Logierait, Blair Atholl and Dull.

Although the OPR of Fortingall does not commence until the 1740s, and some pages are damaged, the Blair Atholl and Logierait OPRs mention Cumming families much earlier

The Cumming marriages and earlier births have now been indexed, and the genealogies have been mapped out based on the available evidence.

Unlike the Stewarts and Robertsons in the area, the Cumming families did not adhere to the traditional naming pattern for their children (eldest son after the paternal grandfather, eldest daughter after the maternal grandmother etc.)

Some branches were skilled millers and spread out to work the various corn mills. 

We hope that our research will be of use to Cumming descendants.  If there are obvious errors or you have additional information, then please contact us.  The link to the Cumming Index is:
