The Family of Big Sandy (Alistair M?r) Stewart and Margaret Stewart of Balintochich
Neil said that the whole family emigrated in 1835 on the ship 'Canada' owned by the Allan Lines, but this was not entirely true. His brother Alexander stayed on at Balchapel and did not emigrate with them. The following year he married Margaret Stewart of Knockgarry on 4th September. Margaret was the daughter of Donald Stewart and Janet Stewart (or possibly Robertson) who were living at Balintochich in 1841.

The 1841 and 1851 census returns for Borenich show that Alexander and Margaret moved from Balchapel to nearby Balintochich, where Alexander worked as a handloom weaver. They had seven children while living at Balintochich, but none of them were baptised or recorded in the Old Parish Records. By the mid-1850s it would have been impossible to compete with the weaving looms of the big cities, and by 1853 they had emigrated to Beckwith Township to re-join the rest of the family. Margaret Stewart's brother, Alexander (born c1813), and her sister Jane (born c1815) emigrated with them. Jane died 6th January 1899.

The circumstances of the death of Big Sandy (Alistair M?r) Stewart appeared in the Perth Courier, January 18th, 1889.

" Saturday last Mr. Alexander Stewart, 4th Line Beckwith, designated as "Big Sandy", came to town to do business. In returning, as a farmer on the 9th Line reports it, he undertook to light his pipe when the young and spirited team, feeling the loosened reins, began to run away. Mr. Stewart leaned over the dashboard to pick up the reins and fell forward and down in front of the runners where he was dragged along till a boulder on the side loosened the king bolt and let away the animals.
He was found by the driver of the next vehicle to whom he said he was very much injured. He was carried into Peter McDougall's but objected to their sending for the doctor thinking he might recover. He lingered on in great pain until Sunday morning when he died just before Dr. McEwen arrived who was called out of church for the purpose of seeing him. The team ran a mile and a half where steaming and tired out they were caught by Messrs. McIlquham and Pressley who were emerging from the woods after a rabbit hunt.
Mr. Stewart was a farmer with a large business and family connections and his shocking death has sent sorrow throughout many homes both in this section and in Manitoba. "

Alexander married Margaret Stewart on 4 Sep 1836 in Blair Atholl, Perth and Kinross, Perthshire, Scotland. Margaret was born in 1814 in Balquidder, Stirling, Perthshire, Scotland; died on 21 Jan 1898 in Derry, Beckwith Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Dewar Cemetery, Beckwith Township, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
