STUART, Robert 1
General Notes: "Robert Stuart and his brother James Stuart minister of Alvah had two rigs of land in banff [sic] bounded by a croft called Mary Croft owned by Robert Leslie, shipsmaster. Also the Robert Leslie, the father, may have been a captain of one of Robert Stuart's ships. Merchants owned the ships then employed shipsmasters. Members of the landed families tended to live off the income of the family estate and tended to become merchants rather than shipsmasters." |
