  • Notes 
    • Family data says that she was sister to
      a herb doctor
      a translator of the NT into Gaelic
      a teacher to the Russian Royal Family (another version says "Prussian")

      Note this might apply to Elizabeth DEWAR, rather than Catherine.

      The Scottish Bible Society says this:
      **************
      The New Testament was first translated into Scottish Gaelic by Rev James Stuart, minister of Killin, and published in 1767 - barely 20 years after the battle of Culloden. His son John, minister of Luss, was the main translator of the Old Testament, completed in 1801.
      **************
      I can find no evidence of any McNaughtan in connection with the Gaelic bible, around the time of this family but it is unlikely I will find people who undertook a minor role. Of course it might be there is a more distant relationship between Catherine and Rev James Stewart.

      The other family connections are even more difficult to evidence.
