Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Keith Stewart. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Loafiewa (talk) 11:20, 6 August 2021 (UTC) Hi

If I have violated any rules I am sorry, and please excuse any typing errors.

I am writting about an article on Wkipedia about Keith Stewart of Glasserton and his alleged daughter August a'Guilar Stewart and her marriage to John Stewart, son of William Stewart and The Honourable Euphemia MacKenzie.

I would like acknowledgement about this and a correcction.

I am going to explain the relationship between the two families, as that part of the article is wrong, also the rellationships are a little complicated.

I find it offensive that facts aren't checked, and people seem to put up unsubstantiated information about my family. This also applied to Family Search and other sites.

Most of what I am saying can be verified by Cracroft's Peerage, Stirnet, Burkes Landed Gentry, etc etc and the particular part I am complaing about, by a written article that is on the Westminster Abbey site re: Captain John Stewart R.N of H.M.S "Seahorse"., plus various other information and in wills and passed down through our family.

1) James Stewart 2nd Earl of Galloway had four sons, the youngest one was Lord William Stewart.

a) Lord William Stewart married Elizabeth Gordon, the daughter and heiress of John Gordon of Cardoness and his wife Elizabeth Stewart, daughter and heiress of Colonel William Stewart of Castle Stewart (Wigton). Colonel William Stewart may have been from a branch of the Garlies Stewarts, at this stage I cann't verify this. They had various children, of which: William Stewart was the eldest.  He married twice, firstly to Issobell Maxwell, with whom he had numerous children.  Secondly to Jean Heron, with whom he had one daughter. William Stewart and Issobell Maxwell's eldest son was that survived was: John Stewart, who married Jean Craik, they had four sons and several daughters. The eldest son was William Stewart (1737-1797 who married 1771 the Honourable Euphemia MacKenzie (1750-1817). They had the following children: William c. 1772 - 1796 Mary c. 1773/1774 died 1849, married Rev. Sir Abraham Isaac of Clevedon Court, Somerset, as his second wife. No issue.

John Stewart was a Captain in the R.N of H.M.S Seahorse. He never married, this is common knowledge in the various branches of our family in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
 * John Stewart 1775-1811.

My great grandfather John Stewart Browne (b. 1853) spent time with his relatives in England and passed on handwritten notes about or family.

Also John Stewart is mention on his mother Euphemia's gravestone, which in the central aisle of the ruins of the Chapel Royal Holyrood, all three of her sons are mentioned. John Stewart is buried in the Navel section of Westminster Abbey. The written article about specifically states he died unmarried and his sister Mary was executor of his will. (This can easily be googled) No wife of John Stewart or child is mentioned in his mother's will, his eldest sister Mary's will, or his sister Jane's will. At this stage I haven't been able to find a copy of his will or his sister Euphemia's will.

Jane Stewart c. 1776 died 1863, Mt Elton, Clevedon, Somerset. Euphemia 1778-1832,, buried The Chapel Royal, Holyrood Kenneth c. 1778 - 1798 Catherine b. 1779 d.1859 married William Browne of Tallentire Hall, Cumberland. They had numerous children, of which my g g grandfather, John Stewart Browne was the second son.

The Honourable Euphemia MacKenzie (1750 -1817) was the youngest daughter and child of Lady Mary Stewart (1720-1751) and Kenneth MacKenzie, Lord Fortrose.

Her mother Lady Mary Stewart was the eldest daughter and only surviving child to have issue of Alexander Stewart, 6th Earl of Galloway and his first wife, Lady Anne Keith, second daughter of William Keith 9th Earl Marischal of Scotland.

Alexander Stewart, 6th Earl of Galloway married secondly Lady Catherine Cochrane. Their second son was Keith Stewart of Glasserton, b. 1739. He was Lady Mary Stewart's younger half brother. This meant, that the alleged daughter of Keith Stewart of Glasserton was Euphemia MacKenzie's first cousin, eve though she was of a similar age to her children.

Euphemia MacKenzie inherited a number of oil paintings of various members of the MacKenzie's of Seaforth, she also had two gold medals, a Turkish Dagger and various pieces of silver presented to John Stewart. I find it highly unlikely that these items wold have gone mainly to the Browne family and their descendants if John Stewart had a daughter.

I am more than happy to verify things with what written material I have.

At some stage in the future I intend to get full copies of The Honourable Euphemia MacKenzie''s will, her daughter Lady Mary Elton's will, Jane Stewart's will and hopefully trace ad obtain wills of John Stewart and Euphemia Stewart.
