Surnames: Grant, Stuart, White Classification: Marriage Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ReC.2ACI/2392.1 Message Board Post: Here's my line from the last marriage we have in Glenlivet: Alexander Grant (b.1850 Glenlivet - d.1925Canada) married Margaret Stuart, m.30 jun 1883 in Chapeltown of Glenlivet (b.1851 Glenlivet - d.1935 Canada). Alex was son of Alexander Grant(b 1914Tombae - d.1861Chapeltown) alias Bowie and Mary Shaw m. 8 Jan 1846 in Chapeltown of Glenlivet --------------------- CORRECTION! CORRECTION! CORRECTION! The Grant/Shaw connection was an error! After some false starts (everyone in Glenlivet seems to be Grant or Stuart<g>) we found that the correct parents for Alexander (the 5th of twelve children) were Alexander Grant(b1804 - d. 10th March 1886, 3:30pm, Corunack, Glenlivat) and Ann Stuart (b.1829, Abernethy, Invernesshire - d.26th Dec 1902, 5am, Westerclova, Kildrummy). On Margarets side, parents are, James Stuart (b abt 1805 --- d.29th Oct 1869, 7:30pm, Mill of Auchnascraw) and Elspet Grant (b abt 1810 --- d.31 May 1882, 6am, Mill of Achnascraw, Glenlivat). Elspet Grant was widowed previous to marrying James Stuart and brought three young children to the second marriage. We have not yet found a source recording the first marriage. Further Generations: Alexander Grant (1804 - 1886). His parents were Duncan Grant (who came to the Braes of Glenlivet from Abernethy) and Mary White (b.abt 1769 - d. 24 Jan 1850) Ann Stuart (1829 - 1902). Her parents were James Stuart & Barbara Grant James Stuart(1805 - 1869) His parents were John Stuart & Janet Stuart Elspet Grant (1810 - 1882) Her parents were Alexander Grant (Who also came from the Braes of Abernethy) and Margaret White. It is possible that Alex & Duncan Grant were brothers and that they married sisters in the two White girls. Margaret White died early (after bearing at least one child) and Alexander married again, to Margaret Grant with whom he raised a fair sized family. Holdings in Glenlivat associated with the family are: Corunack. Auchnascraw, Clinkhard, Also, I've been told that at least some of the family used the alias Bouie or Bowie. --------------------------------------
