    Elspeth (Elizabeth) married Alexander Stewart of Balchapel on 30th April 1809 according to the Blair Atholl OPR. Alexander was the eldest son of Neil Stewart and Janet Fraser of Croftcarnach and was born at Croftcarnach on 2nd January 1782. Croftcarnach was unable to support several Stewart families and Alexander had taken up the tenancy of the next farm, Balchapel, prior to his marriage.
    Alexander and Elizabeth had a family of eight children and were living at Balchapel until at least 1829. In the early 1900s, their eldest son, Neil recounted that his father had been a tenant farmer near Pitlochry, and attended the Moulin church as there was no church in Pitlochry at that time. This would suggest that the family had moved from Borenich prior to their emigration to Canada in 1835. Their last child, Christian (Christina), probably was born 20th October 1832. No record of her baptism can be found so, perhaps, they had moved to the Pitlochry area.

    Neil Stewart died on 28th April 1904, and the following obituary appeared in the local paper.
    " The Grim Reaper has claimed another of the old residents of Lanark county in the person of Mr Neil Stewart of Beckwith, who passed away on Thursday of last week at the age of 93 years. In December of 1902 the Gazette had the privilege of presenting to its readers an engraving of the deceased, as well as of his brother, Mr Duncan Stewart, of Ramsay, and short sketches of their lives at that time.
    The deceased was born in the parish of Pitlochrie, county of Perth, Scotland, in the year 1811 and was the oldest of his father's family. He came to Canada in 1835 and worked in Bytown, then a small village, for five years. Mr Stewart married his cousin, Isabella, daughter of Mr John Stewart, of Ashton, and afterwards bought a farm on the seventh line of Beckwith. Mr Stewart had learned the trade of carpenter in Scotland and when circumstances would permit he still followed that occupation. His wife died in 1899.
    Of the children, three daughters and two sons are still living. The daughters are Mrs Albert Lewis, Brockville and Misses Lizzie and Bella at home, and the sons are John B., 8th line Beckwith, with whom deceased spent his declining years, and Duncan B., of Lennox, Manitoba.
    The deceased was a man of stirling character, and was honored and respected by all who knew him, and his name will long be revered as that of a sturdy champion of right and truth. He was for many years an elder in Knox Presbyterian church at Black's Corners. In politics he was a staunch Liberal. The funeral took place on Sunday morning to Dewar's cemetery and was very largely attended. Rev. Mr McFarlane conducted the service. "

    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. "
