Family Tree Stewarts and McAuley & McCauley
There has been a few questions about the distribution list I've been sending out, namely the Stewart and McAuley names.....for the Stewart family reunion.
Last year we decided that we would open up the Stewart family reunion and go from a generation or 2 back. The two that came to Canada way back when were Jake Stewart and his wife Margaret McCauley...so we started there. We followed the Jake Stewart's (kind of) so we have Daddy Jakes brother and sister(s) and we had info on one of Daddy Jakes Aunts, which was Mary Stewart. She married a guy called John McKay and they had about 16 kids after which
Mary died and John re married and had another 5 or so. From the first batch of 16, one of the girls was called Annie and she married a guy called Guy Field and they had a whole bunch, one of which was called Donella, and she married a guy called Hugh McAuley...which are my Grandparents. That is one of the lines of Jake and Margaret Stewart's descendants that we have expanded to. As you can see, from those lines, there are quite a few in the immediate
area that Jake and Margaret would be great great........grandparents too.....and for now, we thought the list would be too big to just open up completely, so thats where we made the cut.
So...since I have been involved in reunions on both sides of my family, i have created a number of distribution lists for myself, and these are some of the names that i have given them, and believe me....its confusing for me too, as there are 2 different McCauley/McAuley family lines in the area, and the 2 are not related, although the 2 different spellings exist in the same family. There are connections thru marriage at various points, and one
line is related to the Stewart family, and then there is the McAuley list that is part of this e mail, that is related thru my Grandmother thru the Field...McKay.....from Mary Stewart. |
