Stewarts of Ballintoy and some related families

[pablo1]

I understand your dilemma as it seems that they often changed sides.  I believe that sometimes it depended upon which side was paying better at the time.
Macaulays are interesting in the sense that it seems Major Alexander MacAulay may not have been too fond of Argyll and his kin, whereas his relation in Scotland, Archibald, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh was as well as those Macaulays who had migrated down to Yorkshire.

This might be the will of James Stewart, son of Robert Stewart and Elsie MacAuley...?

I think the name of his wife Helena is significant given the Dobbs Report says James Stewart had two granddaughters of that name.

He names his trustee John Stewart of Ballintoy, who I guess is the one who married Jane Moore and whose descendants were the Stewart-Moores of Ballydivity.

Gilby, thank you for this bit of information.  It seems as though he would be the same person as he also had a son, Robert, named after his father no doubt.  It will be of interest to find out his wife, Helena's, maiden name.

From Hibernia Magazine abstract:
c. 1774--Coleraine, death of Mrs. Helena Stewart, relict of the late James Stewart of Coleraine.

As these Stewarts lived in the Coleraine, Londonderry area, I wonder if the the following Stewarts
would then somehow be related:

Burke Landed Gentry--Walsh of Laragh
1.Rev. William Walsh, b. 1710; m. 1736 to Mary, dau of Robert Stewart of Coleraine, and sister of
the Rev. Richard Stewart, Dean of Leighlin.
2.Rebecca Walsh m. 1779 Capt. Thomas Ussher.

Excellent website that may be of use if one hasn't already made use of it:

Thanks for Helena’s death notice.  Do you know anything about Mark Kerr O’Neill – since he was named guardian of the children it makes me wonder if he might have been an uncle or some other relation?

I’ve not comes across those Walshes and Stewarts from Burke’s LG before.  I’ve got plenty of Roberts, but the only Richard Stewarts I have on my tree are:

-   Richard (Poyntz?) Stewart, 3rd son of Col. Charles Stewart of Ballintoy.  Probably died before 1742.  Almost certainly before 1760.
-   Richard Stewart, son of Andrew (Dhu) Stewart of Knocknagarvan, Ballintoy and his wife Jane Dunlop.  Born 1734, died 1821.  Married Catherine Smyth.

The other Stewart of Coleraine I’d like to figure out is the Rev. James Stewart of Coleraine who may have been stepfather to Archibald Hutchinson of the Middle Temple.  He crops up a couple of times in that Stewart of Dunduff page (which I agree is very useful!).

Came across this yesterday.  I'm not sure where Ternerone is.  I am very interested that Ninian Stewart of Kilchattan apparently owed a debt in Ireland, bearing in mind his heir was his cousin James Stewart of Ballinastraid, Ballintoy.

I'm guessing at some of these names by the way because Crossle's writing isn't always the easiest to make out...
