James Stuart CB of Gracehill

[Benody1921]

Yes that seems to be the general consensus. Irwin was a Reverend of some sort. They seemed to have several children. One of them being my 4th great-grandfather, James Stuart, who built Gracehill House in Derrykeighan for his wife Grace Lynd.

It's too bad Irish records are so difficult to work with.

According to Three Hundred Years in Innishowen, Sarah Ormsby was the grandmother of Jane Irwin who married Henry Stewart/Stuart.  I just had a look for her will too, but drew a blank.

The above book does not name Christopher’s wife, so I don’t know if she was called Sarah too.

Which wealthy Dobbs are you referring to Hallmark?

The wealthy Dobbs who left the bequest...

Attached is Betham’s note of the marriage licence for Irwin Stewart* and Elizabeth MacDaniel.  This can be viewed on Findmypast (searchable), or for free on familysearch (not so easy to search).

*According to Three Hundred Years in Innishowen, Irwin and his son Charles McDaniel always signed their name “Stewart” – it seems that later generations changed it to “Stuart”.

Here is an extract from the will of James “Fatty” Stewart, the uncle of Elizabeth McDaniel (also from Betham):

They can be with no dates for anyone...

Oh!  It wasn't Dobbs who left the bequest, it was Archibald Hutchinson.  He left a load of money to his "poor and necessitous relations":

Francis Dobbs was the barrister hired to sort the whole mess out:

If you didn't know this already why were you so quick to shoot me down on the other thread? 

No!!!   Dobb's Report is compiled from Pedigrees he found!!

It looks like the Dobbs Report is based on the version of the Stewart pedigree which Betham had compiled and which were listed elsewhere and by McAnlis!! 

Dobbs has over 3500 names in his report, where do people think he got them from??

Yes... Dobbs did the report! Son of Rev Dobbs etc etc  by researching Wills to prove/disprove claims

Same Wills Betham looked at...or did Betham use Dobbs stuff ??

Haven't a clue who Hutchinson was...
