 #   Notes   Linked to 
1051 According to Stewarts of the South he was the brother of Duncan in Radnaik (Rednock).

Auchmore was located southwest of Loch of Menteith. One source indicates that Auchmore was also known as Gartrenich, however Stobies Map shows these as two different places. 
Stewart, Donald in Auchmore (Line 2a) (I20810)
 
1052 According to Stewarts of the South, "Duncan (Og) Stewart, tenant in Glenbuckie [in] Balquhidder Parish and [on] Capt Stewart's property, had three sons [namely] Duncan, John and James." Duncan's nickname "Og" means "young" in Gaelic. It likely indicates that his father's name was also Duncan. His father is shown here as Sean Duncan Stewart (meaning "Old Duncan Stewart"). Stewart, Duncan Og in Glenbuckie (IX-Branch) (I15785)
 
1053 According to Stewarts of the South, "Duncan Stewart, was tacksman of Letter, Lochcathrineside, in Callendar parish, which is the estate of Perth. He was brother to the above James [Stewart in Monbreachy]." Stewart, Duncan in Lettir of Strathgartney (I15504)
 
1054 According to Stewarts of the South, 1-Line of the Stewarts in Ardcheanochdan and Duart were "were a long time foresters of Glenfinglas under [the] Glenbuckie family." Stewart, _____ in Ardcheanochdan (1-Line) Forester in Glen Finglas (I27782)
 
1055 According to Stewarts of the South, Alexander Stewart was the patriarch of Branch III of the Stewarts of Ardvorlich. "Oig" is Gaelic for "young", as in "Young Alexander". Alexander was a witness to a bond by John Reidheugh of Wester Kerse to Janet Comrie, relict of William Stewart of Balemeanoch, and Alexander and Robert Stewart, their sons, for 1400 merks on 8 JUN 1650. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) Stewart, Alasdair Oig in Auchrig (Ardv. III) (I14439)
 
1056 According to Stewarts of the South, Alexander was a Captain in the Honourable East India Company. He inherited Strathgarry in Blair Atholl and Wester Invernenty in the Braes of Balquhidder from his father. He married and had descendants and is currently represented by Reg Alexander J Stewart, 9th Strathgarry and Innerhadden and 5th Laird of Bunrannoch. Stewart, Capt. Alexander HEICS 5th of Strathgarry and Wester Invernenty (I14756)
 
1057 According to Stewarts of the South, Alexander was the eldest son of Duncan mac Allan Stewart of Duart. This accounting is contradicted by The Ardvorlich History. Stewarts of the South says that Alexander was the grandfather of Duncan Stewart in Glengaoil. Stewart, Alasdair Dubh nan Damh (I14437)
 
1058 According to Stewarts of the South, Archibald lived at Norieston near Thornhill and had a son who lived at Kinross in "middling circumstances". (This may be an incorrect reading of Stewarts of the South and is under review.)

McInnes Stewart, another descendant of Archibald of Landrick, offers the following testimony in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856): "As for the settlement of 1777 in which Archibald calls on the failure of his sister and their issue (sic), Archibald and William, the lawful sons of his uncle Robert Stewart...." From this testimony it would appear that Archibald and William were the only sons of Robert to reach adulthood and that neither had descendants." 
Stewart, Archibald (I15267)
 
1059 According to Stewarts of the South, Charles died in the West Indies. Stewart, Charles (I15199)
 
1060 According to Stewarts of the South, Daniel was an apprentice to James Tod, a merchant in Edinburgh. He married to Jean Erskine, although no record of their marriage has been found.

Donald's nephew Dr. David Stewart, son of Alexander Stewart, 10th of Glenbuckie, in his will says, "I David Stewart at Brainchyle son of Alexander Stewart of Glenbuckie nominate Alexander Stewart my cousin, lawful son of Deceased Donald Stewart sometime tanner in Edinburgh and his heirs which failing Donald Stewart brother of Alexander Stewart also my cousin and his heirs to be my executors."

This entry indicated that Donald Stewart was deceased at the time of the writing of David Stewart's will.

Promptly after the death of Dr. David Stewart in Breanachoile in 1766, Donald Stewart's widow, Jean Stewart, petitioned the courts along with her son Alexander and daughter Elizabeth for the appointment of a Factor to dispose of the estate of Dr. David Stewart, as her sons Alexander and Donald Stewart were in Jamaica at the time. James Stewart, Younger of Tarr, was named as Factor. 
Stewart, Donald Daniel Tanner and Merchant in Edinburgh (I15145)
 
1061 According to Stewarts of the South, Duncan died from the consumption without issue.

Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "Duncan Stewart, 11th of Glenbucky, b. on 5 December 1724 and succeeded his father in 1745.

In 1751, Duncan Stewart was appointed as factor for the lands of Easter Invernenty which had belonged to the deceased Capt. Donald MacLaren of Easter Invernenty.

Duncan was listed as a witness for the defence in the 1752 trial of James Stewart of the Glen accused in the Appin Murder. Duncan's brother, Alexander, sold Glenbuckie in 1756. Thus we know that Duncan died between 1752-1756.

According to www.stirnet.com, Duncan married to Susannah Campbell, daughter of Capt. Duncan Campbell, 6th of Kilberry.

According to Stirnet, she died in 1794 with no children, which is consistent with the description from Stewarts of the South.
-----

NRS reference CS109/132. In 1751 Duncan Stewart of Glenbuckie was appointed factor on the lands of Easter Invernenty. The cautioner was David Stewart of Ballachallan (who was an Annat Stewart).

"Be it Known to all men by these presents Me Duncan Stewart of Glenbuckie Forasmuch as the Lords of Council and Session by their act of factory dated the Nineteenth day of July instant Nominated Authorised and appointed me to be factor on the lands of Easter Invernenty which pertained to the deceased Donald Maclaren of Easter Invernenty sequestration by the said Lords for uplifting the mails and duties thereof for the ____ and year of ___ Seventeen Hundred and fifty and bygone rests in the tenants hands...." 
Stewart, Duncan 11th of Glenbuckie (I15541)
 
1062 According to Stewarts of the South, Duncan was a labourer who had two sons who were alive in 1815. Stewart, Duncan (I15589)
 
1063 According to Stewarts of the South, Duncan was a surgeon in London (England). He was also Royal Physician to King Henri Christof of Haiti. Stewart, Dr. Duncan (I15231)
 
1064 According to Stewarts of the South, Duncan’s father, John, had one (surviving) son who was “A brewer and innkeeper in Stirling in a good way. He has three or four sons.” Baptism records show John having three sons, however the 1814 Moss Census shows that two of those sons, Alexander and James, died young, leaving Duncan as the only surviving son. Duncan was not residing with his parents on The Moss in 1814 and would easily fit the description in Stewarts of the South. Thus, by process of elimination, it is suggested that Duncan was a brewer and innkeeper in Stirling with three or four sons ca. 1815-1820. Stewart, Duncan Innkeeper in Stirling (I15557)
 
1065 According to Stewarts of the South, he was a cloth merchant in Glasgow. Stewart, _____ (I20674)
 
1066 According to Stewarts of the South, he was a spirit dealer in Glasgow, like his father. Stewart, _____ (I20881)

1068 According to Stewarts of the South, John resided in Redhaugh, Touch, Stirlingshire, Scotland.

John Stewart, [James'] brother, a farmer in Redhaugh [which is] Touch’s estate, which now belongs to Murray of Polmaize, Stirlingshire. His sons:

1. An officer in the 42nd Regiment of Foot.
2. An officer in another regiment.
3. A surgeon and physician.
4. A writer
5. Another 2 or 3 at home who are minors.
 
Stewart, John in Redhaugh (I21045)
 
1069 According to Stewarts of the South, John was "tutor to Appin." Stewart, John 3rd of Ardsheal (I16678)
 
1070 According to Stewarts of the South, John was called "Iain Dubh Mor" ("Big Black John") to differentiate him from his younger half-brother, Iain Dubh Beg ("Little Black John").

Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "John married Isabel, daughter to Alexander Stewart of Ardvorlich, by whom he had Duncan, who died without issue, Alexander, his successor, James and Donald, who both had issue, and several daughters."

A bond in 1622 which names the heads of most of the Balquhidder Stewarts includes: "John Dow (Mor) Stewart in Glenfinglas and his brother-german, Walter". Dow is an Anglicization of Dubh which means "black". Gordon MacGregor suggests, and we concur, that these two brothers were sons of Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie.

John signed the 1654 Bond of Keltney Burn along with the heads of all the other Stewart houses in Balquhidder, Athol, and Appin swearing allegiance to King Charles II.

The following family is found in miscellaneous notes in the John MacGregor Collection (1905) and refers to this family: "John Dow Stewart in Glenfinglas had two sons,- James and Alexander. James 1673 had a son named Alexander 1703 who married Mary Stewart and they had three sons - Robert Duncan and James. Alexander who was father to Duncan Stewart in Lack 1676 and grandfather to John Stewart in Glenbuckie."

The earlier 1622 bond doesn't specify which of the two John Dubh Stewarts, Mor or Beag, was residing in Glen Finglas, however the latter reference from the John MacGregor Collection indicates that it was John Dubh Mor Stewart who resided in Glen Finglas, while John Dubh Beag resided in Muirlaggan and Ledcreich. 
Stewart, John Dubh Mor 6th of Glenbuckie (I16693)
 
1071 According to Stewarts of the South, the surviving senior male line descendant of Rob Duibh Mhoir Stewart was Robert McDonachie Stewart who has been identified in Callander parish records as having married in 1766 to Janet Black and was likely born about 1730. Robert's patronymic, McDonachie, is an Anglicization of the Gaelic mac Donnachaidh, which means "son of Duncan." Thus we can conclude with reasonable certainty that Robert's father was named Duncan Stewart.

Possible marriages
1724, Duncan STUART in this paroch and Christ: MCGREGOR in the paroch of Balquhidder listed themselves to be proclaimed in order to marriage Nov 14th and after orderly proclamation were married Dec 7th. (No children recorded for this marriage. Fits onomastically with children shown here.)

1725, Duncan and Ann STUARTS both in this paroch listed themselves to be proclaimed in order to marriage Jan 15th and after orderly proclamation were married 26th Jan. (No children shown for this marriage.) 
Stewart, Duncan (I15566)
 
1072 According to Stewarts of the South, this person is the patriarch of the Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Branch IV - The Letter Stewarts in Letter and Auchrig, Port of Menteith parish, Perthshire, Scotland.

We know Duncan Oag had a son Alasdair Oig who was patriarch of Branch III. It is not known if Branch IV also descends from Alasdair Oig or if Duncan had another son from whom Branch IV descends. As the author of Stewarts of the South was aware of the existence of Alasdair Oig then it seems likely that if Branch IV was also descended from Alasdair Oig then the author of Stewarts of the South would have said so. Although this is far from a solid argument, based on this premise alone we are presently suggesting that Branch IV more likely descends from an unknown younger brother of Alasdair Oig.

A counter argument can be made by the fact that Duncan Oag Stewart died in 1632 and was probably in his very early thirties at the oldest when he died. Thus a case may be made that Alasdair Oig Stewart could have been his only son.

Thus, the children shown here may actually descend from Alastair Oig Stewart in Auchrig and Inchalbeg, shown here as uncle to this family. 
Stewart, _____ in Letter (Ardvorlich IV) (I21033)
 
1073 According to Stewarts of the South, this person's name was "Duncan McCallain" Stewart or "Duncan, son of Allan". According to The Ardvorlich History his name was Alasdair Dubh nan Damh Stewart or "Black Alexander of the Cattle" who was also called "Sandy of the Stirks" (stirks were black cattle). According to both accounts Alexander/Duncan was a cattle drover from Clan Appin who came to Glen Finglas and settled in Duart. According to Stewarts of the South, he came "with one of the family of Glenbuckie and married there." In its full context the word "there" is ambiguous in its reference -- it could refer to Glen Finglas or Appin, but most likely refers to Glenbuckie. This could mean that Alexander/Duncan came to Glen Finglas as a friend of, and under the protection of, one of the members of the Glenbuckie family and that he married while he was still living in Glenbuckie, or it could mean that he married a daughter of one of the Glenbuckie families, or both.

As Clan Appin were not among the families who shared in the division of Glen Finglas, yet a descendant of this branch in 1815 held one of the eight portions of Glen Finglas then this family either purchased or otherwise acquired one of the eight portions, possibly by marriage. Given the previous reference from Stewarts of the South it seems most likely that Alexander/Duncan married one of the daughters of Glenbuckie and acquired the Glenbuckie share of Duart by marriage.

The discrepency between these two sources may be resolved chronologically, if, as we show here, Alasdair Dubh nan Damh was actually a son of Duncan McCallain.In which case it is very possible that Duncan McCallain Stewart shown here is identical with Duncan McAlan Stewart, Innkeeper at Tighnaluib, of the Innishchoarich family. 
Stewart, Duncan mac Allan in Duart (I15797)
 
1074 According to Stewarts of the South, this son was a minor ca. 1815.
 
Stewart, _____ (I20802)
 
1075 According to Stewarts of the South, this son was a minor ca. 1815.
 
Stewart, _____ (I20812)
 
1076 According to Stewarts of the South, this son was a minor ca. 1815. Stewart, _____ (I20845)
 
1077 According to Stewarts of the South, this son was a surgeon and physician. Stewart, Dr. _____ (I21010)
 
1078 According to Stewarts of the South, this son was a writer (lawyer). Stewart, _____ (I21038)
 
1079 According to Stewarts of the South, this son was an officer in another regiment other than the 42nd Regiment of Foot. Stewart, _____ (I21003)
 
1080 According to Stewarts of the South, this unknown son was an officer in the 42nd Regiment of Foot. Stewart, _____ (I21024)
 
1081 According to Stewarts of the South: "Alastir mac Dhoal (it is believed that "Dhoal" is actually Domhnall, or Dhomhnaill in its lenited form, or Donald in English), [a] tacksman of Duncragan [in] Callander parish, [on the Earl of] Perth's estate, [which] now [belongs to] Sir Patrick Murray of Auchtertyre. [Alastir] was of a bastard line." He had the following sons:

1. Son Stewart, a bleacher [in the] new town of Campsie. According to Stewarts of the South he had sons.
2. Son Stewart, the other at Bonill Levenside [in] Dumbartonshire. According to Stewrarts of the South he had sons.

Duncraggan is located next to Brig o' Turk in Callander parish. 
Stewart, Alexander mac Dhoal in Duncraggan (I14765)
 
1082 According to Stewrarts of the South he lived at Bonill, [Loch] Levenside [in] Dumbartonshire and had sons.
 
Stewart, _____ in Bonhill (I20101)
 
1083 According to Stirnet, Duncan died without children. Stewart, Duncan 3rd of Innerhadden (I15531)
 
1084 According to Stirnet.com Margaret was known as a Princess of Scotland. I do not recognize her father's name, Robert D'Arsic as being from one of the Royal families of Scotland. It is not known at this time why she was known thus. Perhaps further research will reveal the answer. D'Arsic, Margaret (I3296)
 
1085 According to the 1814 Blair Drummond Moss Census, Mary died in 1813 at age 20 of consumption. However Mary is also recorded in the census as being alive and residing with her parents in 1814. Perhaps there is a transcription error. McLaren, Mary (I10398)
 
1086 According to the 1814 Drummond Moss Census, Peter died in 1796 at age 3 months from croup. However this is chronologically challenging as his same-named brother was born in 1791 and was alive in the 1814 census. Therefore, it is presumed that either the name of the deceased child is incorrectly recorded, or his date of death is incorrect. It is interpretted to be possibly a transcription error for 1790. Stewart, Peter (I23543)
 
1087 According to the 1814 Moss Census, Janet died in 1808 of consumption at age 17. McLaren, Janet (I10235)
 
1088 According to the 1814 Moss Census, John died in 1800 of croup. Stewart, John (I23505)
 
1089 According to the 1814 Moss Census, Robert died as a child. Stewart, Robert (I17437)
 
1090 According to the 1814 Moss Census, Robert died as a child. Stewart, Robert (I17438)
 
1091 According to the 1841 census, Agnes McGregor was born about 1791 in Scotland (outside of the parish of Aberfoyle).

On 16 Jan 1813, about the age of 22, Agnes McGregor married Duncan Stewart. They were recorded as being "both in this parish." Duncan was a cottager at Duncraggan at the west end of Loch Vennachar in Callander parish but had moved to Gartnafuaran and later Ledcreich in Balquhidder where he worked as a shepherd.

In 1841, at age 50, Agnes Stewart (nee McGregor) was residing at Drumbowie, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland, with her husband, children, and one grandchild.
----

Online trees show Agnes born 13 Jun 1791 in Milntown, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland, as the daughter of Peter McGregor-alias-Drummond and Margaret Strang. However, this is unlikely to be correct as her marriage shows her being from Balquhidder and she had no son named Peter/Patrick. 
McGregor, Agnes (I20571)
 
1092 According to the 1851/61 census James place of birth was Kirkintilloch, Dumbartonshire. In 1851 James' sister-in-law, Jean Martin, age 18, born Glasgow, was residing/visiting. How she could be a sister-in-law when James' wife's last name was Miller is bewildering. It's possible that Ancestry.com has mistranscribed the census and that her name is actually Jean Miller. Gow, James (I6970)
 
1093 According to the 1873 Donald Stewart Family Tree, Mary married a McGhie and resided in Glasgow with daughters Catherine and Janet. This family has not been found in any baptism or census records.

Public records show that her husband was actually Alexander Mackie (not McGhie) with matching daughters Jane in 1868 and Catherine in 1871 in Glasgow.

In 1881, she was residing at Dovehill, owned by William Stewart Whyte of Dovehill. 
Stewart, Mary (I17211)
 
1094 According to the 1873 Donald Stewart in Edinample Family Tree, John Stewart had a son named Finlay. However they have not been identified in any public records. It's possible they may have moved to Canada with other members of this family. Stewart, John (I16213)
 
1095 According to the 1873 Donald Stewart in Edinample Family Tree, Marjory married a man named Mitchell and moved to Ireland and had children David and Anne. She is listed in the 1841 census residing with her brother Daniel Stewart. Stewart, Marjory (I17144)
 
1096 According to the 1873 Family Tree, Isobel married a man surnamed Malcolm and had five children (as shown here). Their sons Robert and James went to Ireland and had families there, while the remaining children died young. This family has not been indentified in any OPR or census records. Stewart, Isobel (I15746)
 
1097 According to the 1873 Family Tree, Janet died young without marrying. Stewart, Janet (I16142)
 
1098 According to the 1873 Family Tree, Margaret married a man named McLaus and had the children shown here. This family has not been found in census records. Stewart, Margaret (I16856)
 
1099 According to the 1881 census, Donald and his siblings were born in Quebec, but later records say he was born in Renfrew, Ontario.

"J. R. Stewart... His eldest son, Donald, has been with us at intervals, engaged as a clerk and enjoying our esteem."
(Campbell, Rev. Robert, and Smallfield, William Elgood, The Story of Renfrew - from the coming of the first settlers about 1820 to 1928, p. 131. Mercury Newspaper Publishing, 1914, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada)
 
Stewart, Donald S. (I15353)
 
1100 According to the Ardvorlich History Henry died young. Cleland, Henry Wilson (I2520)
