 1 Feb 1866      John Stewart, Baker, Pauper, Married to Ann Wilson, died at 2:30 p.m. at the Poor House, Dundee. Age 57 years.  Father: Robert Stewart, farmer; (deceased).  Mother: Amelia Stewart MS Robertson (deceased).  Cause of death: Bronchitis, as certified by P.M. Baxter, surgeon.  Informant: W. Dempster, assistant in Poor House, present (#118, 1st Dist, Dundee, FHL350894).

(John, born 13 Feb 1805, had trouble with remembering ages; he was 60 years old at his death, just a few days from his 61st birthday.  He claimed to be 35 in 1841, 42 in 1851, 52 in 1861.  That sudden drop in age shows up after he married the much younger Ann Wilson.  He was quite consistent after that and the death ages of his sisters, Isabel and Margaret, are 3 years too young on their death records, making the years between them accurate, Margaret 4 years older than John; Isabel 4 years younger.  His brother, Robert's death age is 2 years off, 67 rather than 69 in 1876.

                                                                   RESEARCH NOTES

             Beatrice Gardiner Low, daughter of Robert Gardiner and Margaret Stewart, left us some excellent clues to help identify our Stewart ancestors.  She told of her mother's visits to cousins who lived on estates in Perthshire.  Cousins' names were Crighton and Gray.  Margaret Stewart's sister, Jane or Jean, married James Crighton (Crichton), and lived at Lochside in Kinclaven Parish.
They were the only family listed at Lochside, indicating that it is an estate, not a village.
             The estate of Edradynate in Logierait Parish is the birthplace of all the children of Robert Stewart and Amelia Robertson.  Drumshanachan, the birthplace of their youngest daughter, Mary, is also "in Edradynate."  Their son, Robert, was living in Edradynate at the time of his marriage to Elizabeth Stewart.             
             These large estates were originally created by gifts or charters from the king.  He placed close friends and allies, often a family member, in various places throughout the kingdom in positions of power to give support to himself as ruler. Two famous kings of Scotland are King Duncan I, who was murdered by his cousin, Macbeth, in 1039, and Robert the Bruce who became King Robert I in 1306.  King Robert's daughter, Marjorie, married the son of the High Steward, and their son became King Robert II of Scotland.  The Erskines then became stewards to the Stewart kings.
             Queen Mary, who was educated in France where they do not use a "w" in their alphabet, changed the spelling of her family name to Stuart.  An interesting sidelight is the French spelling of James Chrichton's daughter's name, Jeannette Stuart Crichton, probably named after her grandmother, Jean Stewart Crichton (see William Stewart History).
             Burke's "The Landed Gentry," says "John [Stewart] of Fothergill had a Crown Charter of his lands 30 Oct 1455, and acquired the lands of Edradynate from John, 1st Earl of Athole, by charter dated 24 July, 1465."  John of Fothergill is the son of James Stewart, who is the son of Alexander Stewart, 4th son of King Robert II of Scotland. 
             In the 1700s the estate was owned by the Robertsons, probably because ownership came to a Stewart daughter married to a Robertson.  Later that problem faced Duncan Robertson and ownership passed to his son-in-law, who was a descendant of John Stewart of Fothergill.  "James Stewart of Derculich, b. 1730; m. 1778, Margaret, dau. of Duncan Robertson of Edradynate, a direct descendant of Alexander Robertson, 9th Laird of Struan."  Son of the above James Stewart of Derculich, was known as James Stewart Robertson, whose son, James Stewart-Robertson (owner of Edradynate in 1937) "assumed by direction the additional name of Robertson."
             The above James Stewart of Derculich, born 1730, was the son of Robert Stewart of Derculich, born 1704, the son of the Rev. Robert Stewart of Killichassie, Minister of Killin, 1679-1729.  "At his death in 1729 he left, with other sons, whose descendants are now all extinct in the male line, Robert Stewart of Derculich, b. 1704." 
             If the sons of Robert and Elizabeth Stewart of Logierait and Dundee left no descendants, their family would be extinct in the male line.  We have no record of any children born to them.
I have found no sons born to Robert, son of John Stewart, son of Robert and Amelia.  That leaves their son James as a possible progenitor of a male Stewart line, but I have not been able to identify him on any record other than birth.
             As farmer at Edradynate, our ancestor was probably a relative of the owner of the estate.  If he were a grandson of one of those "other sons" of the Rev. Robert Stewart, he would be a cousin to the James Stewart of Derculich, who became owner of Edradynate by marrying Margaret Robertson.

             (Robert Stewart and Amelia Robertson were very popular names in Perth.  Another Robert Stewart and Amelia Robertson married in 1785, lived at Craggun in Logierait Parish, then moved to Edinburgh.  Their daughter, Amelia, born in Edinburgh, married James McLaren and lived at Findynate in Logierait Parish near Edradynate.)

             If Robert Stewart, farmer in Edradynate (and married to Amelia Robertson), is a descendant of the Rev. Robert Stewart of Killichassie this would be his line of descent from Robert the Bruce down to the "other sons":

Robert the Bruce, or King Robert the I of Scotland
Marjorie Bruce, his daughter, married the High Steward; their son was
Robert Stuart, King Robert II; his 4th son was
Alexander Stewart
James Stewart
John Stewart of Fothergill, whose 2nd son was
Alexander Stewart
Robert Stewart, died 1546
James Stewart, md. Janet Stewart, dau. of James Stewart of Fincastle, died 16 Oct 1565
John Stewart, md. Margaret, dau. of Alexander Stewart of Carse, died 1606
Alexander Stewart, md. Margaret Robertson of Lude
James Stewart, md. Barbara, dau. of Duncan Menzies of Comrie; their second son was
Rev. Robert Stewart of Killichassie, minister of Killin, md. Jan 1683, Anna, dau of Duncan Campbell, and had son,
Robert Stewart of Derculich.........."and other sons now extinct in the male line."
James Stewart of Derculich, son of above Robert, had son
James Stewart of Derculich, md. Margaret, dau of Duncan Robertson of Edradynate.
James Stewart Robertson, their son, is father of
James Stewart-Robertson, owner of Edradynate in 1937
            
A possible entry for the birth of our ancestor, Robert Stewart, farmer at Edradynate, who married
Amelia Robertson in 1798 is:

Robert, lawful son to Robert and Katherine Stewart in ... of Killichassie was bap 5 Feb 1774. (Logierait Parish Register FHL102756).

The marriage of the above parents: Robert Stewart in Killichassie and Catherine Stewart in Aberfeldie entered their names... 4 July 1772 (Logierait Parish Register, FHL102757)

Someone had to research the Edradynate Stewarts to know that the other sons of the minister were extinct in the male lines, but did they record that research?  Of the Edradynate Stewarts, Burke's "The Landed Gentry" says, " The pedigree of this family is fully recorded in the Court of Lord Lyon King of Arms, Scotland."   We need to search for those other sons of the Rev. Robert Stewart of Killichassie, to see if we can make a connection with the above Stewarts.  That would give us one long line that reaches back to 1033.
