SECTION FOUR - THE STEWART FAMILY
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

This text is only a portion of the extensive, well-documented work of Heber I. Rankin (1898 - 1969), grandson of Susanna Stewart Hartman. It is to be used as a supplement to the information found in "A Heritage" by Nora M. Stewart (Printer Banker's Supply, Clarion, PA, 1990).

"Dear Streeter Cousins,

I am Heber Rankin and my mother was Margaret Rufena Hartman who taught Summerville School in Toby township, Clarion County, Pa., in 1895 and boarded at Loffer Stewart's, her uncle's. Mother has told us children so much about the Loffer Stewarts and especially about the Mary Stewart Streeter family and the Anna Stewart Megarry family. Mary and Anna seemed to be Mother's favorite cousins. I am 67 years old now and am a retired Rail Way Mail Clerk and my hobby is writing up Stewart family history. I have traced this family back to the year 1040 to a small village named "Dol" in Brittany in France where our ancestors have been located in that year. They were Normans and their name was Fitzalan. They fought in the Battle of Hastings in 1066 for William the Conqueror and received large tracts of land in Shropshire, England, for their services. Several generations later one Walter Fitzalan came to Scotland in the train of King David I of Scotland and became Chief Steward for the King. The sixth chief Stewart (this seemed to be a hereditary position) for the Scottish kings changed his name to "Stewart" instead of "Chief Steward" and thus we started our family name. The Stewarts came to Ulster, Ireland, in 1608 and to America in 1745 (our line of Stewarts) where our G.G.G. Grandfather was a lieutenant in the American forces during the Revolutionary War. One of his children, William Stewart II, born 1779 settled in Clarion Co., Pa., and was the Grandfather of Loffer Stewart your Great Grandfather..." (HIR, 1966)

The following article comes from the files of Heber Rankin: "Photostatic Copy of 'The Weekly Irish Times' of Saturday, November 10, 1940, given to Heber I. Rankin by Sir Jocelyn H. Stewart at his home 'Carick Brack House,' Convoy, County Donegal, Eire, on June 10, 1965.

HISTORIC IRISH MANSIONS

by James Fleming

NO. 237: FORT STEWART, County Donegal Ireland.

SIR HARRY JOCELYN URQUHART STEWART'S RESIDENCE

'It is always difficult,' says Hill, 'to identify a particular Stewart amidst such a crowd of servitors bearing the surname who appear in the State papers of the Plantation period," but among the multiplicity of that name in Ulster, that of William Stewart, whose Scottish forebears came originally from the Parish of Whithorn, in Wigtownshire, stands out conspicuously in those tragic days as one of the most favored and most successful of his countrymen in the scramble for a share of the confiscated lands of the Chieftans of Ulster.

William Stewart came over in 1608 as Captain of a Company of Scottish troops sent to serve in Ireland, and being in great favor with James I, he received large grants of the confiscated* lands from the Crown, at first in the County of Donegal and later, as will be seen, in Tyrone. He commenced the work of a Planter so vigorously that Sir George Carew, who was sent in 1611 to inspect and report on the progress of the Plantation, gave the King a very favorable account of Stewart's operation.

Whilst many other undertakers in Donegal land at that time done nothing, Captain Stewart's bawn of lime and stone was already built, containing an apartment suitable either for a munition house or a prison, just as circumstances required. This fact impressed the King with the conviction that his favorite could manage more than one small proportion of the escheated land, and that he deserved to be put into the possession of more at the earliest opportunity.' *This word should be 'escheated'." (HIR)

"VAST POSSESSIONS IN ULSTER In pursuance of this Royal conviction, the King soon afterwards required deputy, Sir Arthur Chichester, to accept a surrender from James Haig of a middle proportion of 1,500 acres, called Tirenemuriertagh, in the barony of Strabane, County of Tyrone, and to grant it to Captain Stewart, 'with all concealments belonging thereto.'

By patent dated 7th of July 1613, Stewart was made 'a free denizen and liege subject of Ireland, empowered to enjoy the priveleges of a native and true born subject thereof'; which patent granted and confirmed to him the said proportions of lands in Tyrone and Donegal. In the latter County he had received 1,000 acres, erected into the Manor of Stewart's Fort, with a demesne of 300 acres, upon which, in 1618, he had built 'a fair strong castle called Ramelton, three stories and a half high, and had made a town consisting of forty-five houses, in which were fifty-seven families, all British.'

The possessions of this progenitor of the distinguished line which for nearly three and a half centuries has been closely associated with Donegal and Tyrone, were further extended in December, 1631, when he and Sir Henry Tichburne had a grant of all the rents, profits and forfeitures of sundry lands in Ulster, which had been forfeited for being set to the Irish, contrary to the provisoes in the renewed patents to the undertakers.

Stewart's castle at Ramelton, and two other of his chief houses were burned in the war of 1641, according to his deposition on oath in October 1643. He alleged that 'one new built church, two market towns and certain villages-all of which (including his three houses) were burned by the Irish at the outbreak of the rebellion.' He was also, he stated, despoiled of the possession, rents and profits of his lands, worth near £2,000 a year, and of 800 sheep, 60 cows, 40 horses and mares, with corn, goods and chatels of great value.

HOW BLACK HUGH ESCAPED FROM PRISON: Ramelton, the site of the principal of William Stewart's Ulster residences, is one of the most charmingly situated towns in North-West Donegal, and was a favorite spot of the O'Donnells up to the beginning of the reign of James I. Here, as Pynnar's Survey records, Hugh M'Hugh Duffe O'Donnell resided in his castle, and had a grant of the lands of Breahey, Nahard, Derriemonaghan, Carne, Cloone, Glenmore and Glengeg - in all 1,000 acres.

This Hugh O'Donnell is believed to have been the same person yet vividly remembered traditionally as 'Aodh Dhu Na Nach Shang' - i.e. 'Black Hugh of the lean swift steeds' - who commanded O'Donnell's cavalry at the battle of Fearsat More and who was the most famous angler, archer and horseman of his time.

Tradition says that he chose his horses in a peculiar manner. A number of them were driven into the river Leanan, and the animal that rushed into the stream most recklessly, going the greatest distance before stopping to drink, was the one which he would most assiduously train as a war steed.

Another story has it that on one occasion, when Black Hugh was in prison, a number of English Officers had assembled to witness his dexterity in horsemanship. He had been provided with one of his famous chargers for the exebition. After careening around the inside of the courtyard for several minutes, he stated that owing to his long absence, the animal had forgotten him, but that if he had his son behind him he could manage better.

Accordingly, the youth, who had arrived with the steed from Ramelton, mounted behind his father, and immediately the charger bounded over the prison wall. O'Donnell and his son escaped to the vastnesses of their native mountains after a stern chase, in which they completely baffled their pursuers.

Not a vestige of Ramelton Castle now remains. About half a mile from its site, at a place called Bel-atha-Daire - i.e. 'The mouth of the ford of the Oak Wood' - now anglicised Belladerry, a great battle was fought on the 19th October, 1495, after, as the Four Masters record, Henry Oge O'Neill, son of Henry, son of Owen, marched with a great army into Tyrconnell, and committed great destruction in Fanad. The young O'Donnell - i.e. Con - met this army on the river Leanan, but was defeated. He was killed there with 160 of his men.

There are few more romantic and historic spots in all Tyrconnell than Ramelton and its vicinity, and few more picturesquely situated seats than Fort Stewart, which stands nearby in a well-wooded demesne in the beautiful Vale of Leanan, eight miles north-east of Letterkenny. The immediate environs of Fort Stewart are as rich in scenes of beauty as many of the better known and more favoured (by tourists) districts in Ulster; while the mansion itself, with its splendidly proportioned apartments, its grand old furniture and the numerous relics of Ulster's history that adorn its walls, may well claim to be one of the most interesting residences in the northern province.

ADVANCED TO THE PEERAGE OF IRELAND: Captain Stewart was knighted in 1613, and erected a Baronet of Ireland on the 2nd May 1623. He married Frances, daughter of Sir Robert Newcomen, Bart., of Mosstown Co., Longford (by Catherine his wife, daughter of Sir Thomas Molyneux, Chancellor of the Exchequer in Ireland), and had among other issue, two sons and a daughter - viz : Alexander, Thomas of Fort Stewart, and Catherine who married in 1631 Sir James Montgomery of Rosemount.

Having served as a military officer in the wars in Ireland, Sir William received in satisfaction for the arrears of pay due to 5th June 1649, one debenture of £4,329, while his son, Sir Alexander Stewart, was allotted for his services one debenture of £2,599.

Sir Alexander, who succeeded as second Baronet, married about 1648, his cousin Catherine, daughter of Sir Robert Newcomen, Bart., and was killed at the battle of Dunbar, 3rd September 1650, fighting on the King's side. His only son, Sir William Stewart, third Baronet, was advanced to the Peerage, 19th March 1682, by the titles of Baron Stewart of Ramelton, Co., Donegal, and Viscount Mountjoy, Co., Tyrone.

The Viscount served in Hungary in 1686 and on his return to Ireland was raised to the rank of Brigadier- General, with the pay of £497 10s a year. He undertook, with Sir Stephen Rice, in 1688, a mission from Lord Deputy Tyrconnell to James II, then at Paris, and was, immediately on his arrival in that city, thrown into the Bastille, and there confined until the year 1692. Upon his release, he waited upon William III, in Flanders, and was killed at the battle of Steinkirk in August of the same year.

His Lordship married Mary, daughter of Richard, first Baron Coote of Colooney, and had by her the following issue: 1. William; 2. Alexander, who married Mary, daughter of William Tighe, of Dublin, and died in 1701, leaving an only daughter and heiress, Anne, who married in 1711, the Right Honorable Luke Gardiner, ancestor of the Earl of Blessington, and Viscount Mountjoy; 3. Charles, Vice-Admiral of the White, M.P., Co., Tyrone, who commanded a naval expedition against the Sallee pirates in 1720, and signed the treaty with the Emperor of Morocco; 4. Mary, married, first, John Preston, of Ardsallagh, and, secondly, George, third Earl of Granard; 5. Catherine who married Arthur Davis of Carrickfergus; their daughter, Mary, married in 1736, George, fourth Earl of Granard.

Lord Mountjoy was succeeded by his eldest son, Sir William Stewart, fourth Bart., and second Viscount, Lieutenant-General in the army who married 23rd November 1696, the Hon., Anne Boyle, daughter, and eventual heiress of Murrough, Viscount Blessenton. This Lady brought into the Stewart family the Boyle estates in Wicklow and Kildare, as well as the Manor of Silchester in Hampshire.

His Lordship died on the 10th January 1727, and was succeeded by his only surviving son, Sir William Stewart, fifth Bart., and third Viscount. He was created Earl of Blesinton on the 7th December 1745; and married, 10th January 1733, Eleanor, daughter and heiress of Robert Fitzgerald, of Castle Dod, County Cork, by whom he had two sons, viz - William, Viscount Mountjoy, who died on the 2nd February 1754; and Lionel Robert, who died young.

PEERAGE EXPIRES: His Lordship died without surviving issue, 14th August 1769, when the Peerage expired, but the Baronetcy devolved upon his heir-at-law, Annesley Stewart of Fort Stewart, whose claim to the title is derived by descent from Thomas, born 1630, second surviving son of Sir William Stewart, first Baronet.

This Thomas married a daughter of John Montgomery, of Croghan, County Donegal, and had by her, with four daughters, an only son, William Stewart, of Fort Stewart, High Sheriff Co., Donegal, 1697, who married 1693, Mary Anne, daughter of the right Reverend Ezekiel Hopkins, Bishop of Derry, and had by her, one daughter, two sons, viz: Ezekiel and Robert (Rev.), he died in 1713.

The oldest son, Ezekiel Stewart, of Fort Stewart, married Anne, daughter of Charles Ward and died in October 1734, leaving an only son, the above mentioned Sir Annesley Stewart, sixth Bart., M.P. for the Borough of Charlemont 1763-97.

Sir Annesley married, in September 1755, Mary, daughter of John Moore, of Drumbanagher, by whom he had, with a daughter, two sons, viz., James and William; Colonel of the 89th Regiment, who married Anne, daughter of John Hyde of Castle Hyde, Co., Cork, and died without issue in 1842.

Sir Annesley died in March 1801, and was succeeded by his elder son, Sir James Stewart, seventh Bart., M.P. for Enniskillen 1783-90, and for County Donegal 1802-18. He married, 19th December 1778, Mary Susanna, daughter of Richard Chapell-Whaley, of Whaley Abbey, Co., Wicklow, by whom he had issue as follows: James Annesley; William Henry, who served at Waterloo as Lieutenant, 11th Light Dragoons, and died unmarried in 1820; Anne, who married, first, in 1797, William Conolly Staples, and, secondly, Richard Napier; Elizabeth Susanna, married 24th June 1820, the Hon. Charles Abel Moysey, D.D., Archdeacon of Bath; and Sophia Frances, who married Andrew Rutherford, Solicitor-General for Scotland, 1837.

BUCK WHALEY: It is of interest to recall that Sir James Stewart's wife was a sister of the notorious Thomas Whaley, that remarkable figure of Dublin Society in the last quarter of the eighteenth century, whose eccentricities and exploits formed the theme of many a ballad and broadside at the time. Buck Whaley, as he was called, earned the additional appellation of 'Jerusalem' Whaley, by winning a wager, said to have been for the sum of £20,000 that he would walk (except where the sea passage was unavoidable) to Jerusalem, play ball against the walls of the ancient city, and return to Dublin within twelve months. He started on the 22nd of September 1788, and returned in the following June. 'His arrival at his house at Stephen's Green,' says the 'Dublin Evening Post' of July, 1789, 'being joyfully greeted in bonfires by the populace.'

The Whaleys resided in that famous mansion, No. 86 St. Stephens Green, which the great Newman opened on 3rd November 1854, as the Catholic University, and which in 1909, became absorbed in a new and more extensive institution as a constituent part of the National University of Ireland. No. 86 St. Stephen's Green was built by the 'Buck's' father, Richard Chappell Whaley who resided in No. 85 until his death in 1769, before his new mansion was completed and who devised it to his third son, John, who occupied it until his death in 1847. It was never the 'Buck's' residence; he stayed there from time to time as a guest of his brother, and some of his exploits are chronicled as having taken place during these temporary occupations.

FOUNDER OF THE STEWART INSTITUTION: Sir James Stewart died on 20th May 1827, and was succeeded by his son, Sir James Annesley Stewart, eighth Baronet, who married, in 1830, Jane, daughter of Francis Mansfield of Castle Wray, Co., Donegal, and died without issue on the 13th April 1879. He was succeeded by his kinsman, Sir Augustus Abraham James Stewart, whose claim to the Baronetcy derives as follows.

The Rev. Robert Stewart, second son of William Stewart of Fort Stewart, married Rachel, daughter of Abraham Hickson of Coollattin, Co., Wicklow, and died in 1772. His only son, Captain Abraham Stewart, married 4th May 1761, his first cousin, Hester, daughter of Abraham Nickson, of Munny, Co., Wicklow, by whom he had three sons. The eldest son, Rev. Abraham Augustus Stewart, D.D., Rector of Donabate, Co., Dublin, married 24th January 1793, Frances, daughter of William O'Conner of Mongavlin, Co., Donegal, and died 1812, having had by her the following issue: 1. William Augustus; 2. Henry Hutchinson, M.D., founder of the Stewart Institution at Palmerston near Dublin; 3. Lorenzo Moore, married Emily, daughter of Richard Quinton; 4. Rev. Annesley; 5. Robert, M.D.; 6. Charles Lennox; 7. Hester; 8. Alicia; and 9. Emily Frances.

The eldest son, Captain William Augustus Stewart, married in 1830, Anna, daughter of William Molloy, of Blackport, Co., Tipperary, and died in 1876, having had the following issue: Sir Augustus Abraham James, ninth Baronet; William Molloy; James Augustus; Robert John Jocelyn; Harry Hutchinson Augustus; Anna Blanche; Matilda Charlotte; and Frances.

Captain Stewart's second son, William Molloy Stewart, married in 1864, Ellen, widow of Francis Berkeley Drummond, and daughter of W. H. Urquhart, by whom he had, with three daughters, two sons, viz. - William Augustus Annesley and Harry Jocelyn Urquhart, who succeeded as tenth and eleventh Baronets, respectively.

Sir Augustus Abraham James Stewart, ninth Baronet, died unmarried on 26th August 1889, and was succeeded by his nephew, Sir William Augustus Annesley Stewart, tenth Baronet, who also died unmarried, 4th January 1894, and was succeeded by his brother, Sir Harry Jocelyn Uruquhart Stewart, eleventh and present Baronet of Fort Stewart, High Sheriff, Donegal, 1905.

Sir Harry married 12th August 1896, Isabel Mary, daughter of Colonel F. S. Mansfield of Castle Wray, and has had the following issue: 1. William Francis, who married 21st December 1923, Lucy Dorothy, daughter of

Archibald Metcalfe-Smith, of London; 2. Jocelyn Harry, married Constance Shillaber, and has had a son, Alan D'Arcy, born 29th November 1932; 3. Walter Annesley, married in July 1929, Dora Longridge; 4. Malcolm Geoffrey; 5. Allen Robert, died 10th February 1916; 6. Isabel; 7. Kathleen Mary, who married 24th February 1925, Geoffrey Watt of Claragh, Ramelton, Co., Donegal; 8. Hester Anna Lillian; 9. Violet May, married 14th April 1926, Major Allister Colville Baillie, M.C., R.E.; and 10. Evelyn Frances.

The Arms of the Stewarts of Fort Stewart (from Burke's 'Peerage') are: Or, a fess chequy azure and argent surmounted of a bend engrailed and in chief a rose gules, all within a bordure of the third charged with three lions rampant of the fourth. Above the shield is placed a helmet befitting his degree with a mantling azure doubled or, and on a wreath of his liveries is set for crest: A dexter arm erect couped at the elbow, the hand holding a heart all proper, and in an escrol over the same this morro: NIL DESPERANDUM. "

Heber Rankin continues: "This photo-static copy of a page from 'Weekly Irish Times' for Saturday, November 10, 1940, was copied by Heber I. Rankin in November 1965.

The picture of 'Fort Stewart' which was shown at the top of the page I could not reproduce. This old mansion was sold by the present (June 1965) Baronet, Sir Jocelyn Harry Stewart - the twelfth Baronet of the Fort Stewart line of Stewarts - to some Lord and the present owner (in June 1965) has not kept the mansion & grounds in good condition.

The Lieutenant William Stewart line of descent of these Stewarts stems from the fourth son of William Stewart who married Mary Anne Hopkins. This son was named Alexander Stewart and he married Rebecca Galbraith and they became the parents of six children: Alexander, Jr. (eldest son & heir); Charles; Robert; William; and the daughters Margaret & Frances. Rebecca (a widow in 1745) took her five children to America in 1745, leaving the eldest son on the Estate in Co., Donegal Ireland. (Heber I. Rankin, Dec. 1, 1965.)"
