| 1254 | Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie, is mentioned in the following document as having participated in the murders of John and Hugh Stewart in Balquhidder: "Reg. Privy Seal. Vol.VI. No. 737. 8 Sept. 1569. Gift to Alexander Stewart in Pittareg of the escheat of numerous persons all from Balquhidder including Alexander Stewart in Gartnascrow and Andrew his son also Duncan Stewart his son, and Blak Alexander Stewart in Glenbuckie and Patrick his son, for the murder of Hugh and John Stewart, his brother, in the lands of Balquhider in December last [1568]". Alexander was cited in the 1586 bond of manrent to Sir Duncan Campbell: In 1586 the following people were all included in a bond of manrent to Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy, for the murder of John MacOlchallum Comrie. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland): Walter Stewart in Bailliefoile (natural son of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie) Robert Stewart (son of Walter Stewart in Balliefoile) Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie Patrick Stewart, 1st of Ledcriech (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Robert Stewart of Broichie (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) James Stewart (son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) John Stewart of Voil (natural son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Walter Stewart (natural son of Alexander Dubh Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotlandsays: "Alexander Stewart, 4th of Glenbucky, was commonly known as “Allister dubh,” and succeeded his father by December 1568 when, being implicated in the murder of Hugh and John Stewart in Balquidder, his escheated was gifted by the crown to Alexander Stewart in Pittarig on 8 September 1569.1 He and his sons Patrick, Duncan, Robert, James, John and Walter, granted a Bond of Manrent to Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy, in 1586, for having killed John MacOlchallum Comrie, servant to the said Sir Duncan." Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "Alexander, who married ___ Stewart, grand-daughter to the foresaid Patrick, by whom he had Patrick (of whom Patrick Stewart of Ledcriech is fifth in lineal descent), Duncan, his successor in Glenbucky, James and Robert. He had likewise two natural sons, John and Patrick." Alexander married his first-cousin, once-removed, the grand-daughter of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie, by his eldest son. | Stewart, Alexander Dubh 4th of Glenbuckie (I14789)

|
| 1259 | Alexander is believed to be the Alexander "Raffan" incorrectly transcribed and residing in 1851 in Milltown of Gaval with his grandfather, Alexander Stewart. Alexander may have have been illegitimate and orphaned. | Jaffray, Alexander (I7866)
|
| 1260 | Alexander is believed to have moved to Keith as a child or youth. He is found in local parish records and appears to be ages with John Cuthbert. On this basis only, it is tentatively suggested that Alexander and John could be brothers. | Cuthbert, Alexander (I3366)
|
| 1261 | Alexander is buried in the Old Brick Church Cemetery, Eaton, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, USA, along with his parents. They are the only Browns in that cemetery. | Brown, Alexander (I1599)
|
| 1262 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as "a moss lord in Flanders Moss at Summerline" with two sons. Census records confirm that he resided at #4 Summer's Lane on the Blair Drummond Moss. In 1798, at age 28, Alexander Stewart in Ardveich and Margaret Ferguson in Tomranach of Ardveich had an illegitimate son, James, who is found living with Alexander in the 1814 Moss census. In 1803, at age 33, Alexander Stewart married in Balquhidder and Comrie parishes to Kathrine McIntyre. In 1807, Alexander Stewart moved his family from Lochearnhead in Balquhidder parish to the #4 Summer's Lane on the Blair Drummond Moss in Kincardine-by-Doune, Perthshire, Scotland. In 1814, Alexander Stewart was residing at #4 Summer's Lane on the Blair Drummond Moss in Kincardine-by-Doune, Perthshire, Scotland with his wife and children. The 1814 Moss Census gives the followin information: Summer's Lane No4 Former Possessor: John McGregor Present Possessor: Alexander Stewart 42 yrs Katherine McIntyre 32 " Children James 15 yrs Donald 8 " Katherine 5 " Christian 3 " John 1 " Persons deceased: Finlay 1 mth 1811 Chincough Years Settled on the Moss 8 years Where they came from: Lochearnhead 2 cats, 4 chickens, 1 cow, 1 horse, 1 harrow, 1 plough, 1 cart. In 1841, at age 70, Alexander Stewart was residing at Summerlane, Blair Drummond Moss, Kincardine, Perthshire, Scotland with his wife and their children, Daniel, Christian, and Elizabeth. Alexander was employed as a farmer. In 1851, at age 80, Alexander Stewart was residing at Rossburn Lane, Blair Drummond Moss, Kincardine, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife, Catherine, and their children Daniel, Ann and Elizabeth, along with two of the Rankin grandchildren. Alexander was employed as a farmer of 16 acres. In 1861, at age 91, Alexander Stewart was residing at Rossburn Lane, Blair Drummond Moss, Kincardine, Perthshire, Scotland, as a widower with his children Daniel, Ann and Elizabeth. Alexander was employed as a farmer of 16 acres. Alexander is not found in 1871 and is presumed to have died 1861-1871. He is not found in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions. | Stewart, Alexander in Summerline (I14358)
|
| 1263 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as "a spirit dealer in Edinburgh" with two sons who were minors ca. 1815. Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, " Alexander Stewart, bap. at Balquidder, on 18 July 1776 and was serving in the Navy in 1812." | Stewart, Alexander (I14388)
|
| 1264 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as "Alexander Stewart, a brother's son of Duncan in the tack, [is] with himself [and] unmarried." This is a reference to his uncle, Duncan Stewart, tacksman of Glengyle. | Stewart, Alexander (I14455)
|
| 1265 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as "Alexander, who is a tacksman of Auchyle, Port parish. He has four sons who are all minors. Rent £60." In the Appendix to Stewarts of the South as: "Mr Alexander Stewart, his son (son of the preceding James Stewart), tenant in Auchyle, of the same family (Ardvorlich), very inferior to his father in point [of] activity and prudence, and a sottish coof. £60. Duke of Montrose's property." Alexander Stewart and Mary Blair m 16 Jun 1805 in Port of Menteith 1.

|
| 1266 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as "Alexander, [a] crofter, under McFarlane of Coillechra [in] Callendar parish and on Loch Catherineside who has also one son." Alexander is suggested by Malcom Gray to have married to Catharine MCNAUGHTON. Catharine was born 23 DEC 1778 in Kilmadock, Perthshire. Scotland as the daughter of Duncan McNaughton and Mary McKinlay. Alexander's son John was born at Towanacraig/Downacraig which has not been found on any maps. It is believed to be a cottage on the Coillachra estate. | Stewart, Alexander in Coillachra (I14468)
|
| 1267 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as "Lieutenant Alexander Stewart, of the P[erthshire] Militia, who is now a feuer in St Fillans, Comrie parish, on Drummond's estate. He has two sons -- one who is a student of Divinity and the other who is a minor by a second marriage." (ca.1815-20) The Comrie OPR clearly identifies Alexander's second marriage in which he is described as "Lieutenant Alexander Stewart" "in Comrie" initially and "in St. Fillans" latterly. His first marriage is not so clear. There is only one son born to an Alexander Stewart in Comrie in the preceding few years (that has not been accounted for with another family) and that is William Stewart, bap 17 JAN 1802 in Comrie Village in Comrie parish as the son of "Mr." Alexander Stewart and Jane(t) Reid. This is the only child for them. They were married on 25 AUG 1800 in Comrie with Alexander described as "in the parish of Balquhidder" and Janet Reid as "in this parish" (Comrie). The specification of "Mr." is noteworthy as it is very rare in the OPRs of that era. It usually designates one of two things: a clergyman or a minor landowner/feurer. Thus, William's birth is a near-perfect match for Lieut. Alexander's first son, except for onomastics. The Fasti Ecclesia confirms that Alexander's son, William was a student of Divinity. According to Stewarts of the South, Alexander's father was named Daniel Stewart in Walbeich. However, current research suggests that his father's name was more likely Robert and that Robert's father or grandfather was the Daniel Stewart in Walbeich mentioned in Stewarts of the South. As such, if William is this Alexander's first son then Alexander violated onomastic custom, possibly because his first wife may have died in childbirth and Alexander chose to honour Janet Reid's father by naming their son after him instead of his own father, perhaps feeling that he would have another opportunity to name a son after his own father. If so, then the onomastics work just fine. As such, for now we are tentatively suggesting that William could be Alexander's first son with the preceding uncertainties noted. The Comrie OPR records Alexander's second marriage as: "1815, April 6th, Lieut. Alexr Stewart and Margt Comrie, both in this parish, proclaimed themselves and were married on the 8th." In 1825, Alexander Stewart named his daughter, Helen Maxton Stewart, after Helen Maxton, wife of William Stewart, 8th of Ardvorlich. Alexander is found in 1841 residing in Dalginross, just south of the village of Comrie in Comrie parish, Perthshire, Scotland with his wife, Margaret, and daughters, Helen and Margaret. In 1851, Alexander's wife is recorded as a widow, thus Alexander died sometime between 1841-1851, but his exact date of death is not known. No death or burial record has been found for him. | Stewart, Lieutenant Alexander in St. Fillans (I14796)

| 1268 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as an underaged son. | Stewart, Alexander (I14254)
|
| 1269 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as being a merchant in Glasgow with one son. | Stewart, Alexander Merchant in Glasgow (I14385)
|
| 1270 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as being one of the four sons of Charles Stewart: "two grown up to men, the one with himself and the other in the way of service, two remaining under age." Alexander would be one of the first two, but it's not safe to assume that he is the second or that Stewarts of the South has them in the correct order. All four of Alexander's grandparents were surnamed Stewart -- from four different Stewart families. In 1851 Alexander is found residing in Culnamoon, Port of Menteith with his 25-year-old wife Margaret, his newborn son Charles and his 7-year-old nephew, John. In 1871 Alexander is found residing in Cottrie, Port of Menteith as a farmer with his son Charles and daughter Margaret. Proclaimed in order to marriage in 1847 January 10th Alexander Stewart [Culliscuron ?] and Margaret Stewart were proclaimed regularly in order to marriage, and married by the rev ?? on the 12th/01/1847. | Stewart, Alexander in Collymoon Moss (I14451)
|
| 1271 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as follows: "James Stewart had an uncle Alexander Stewart, commonly called Grudairgorrach. He (Alexander) was a Lieutenant in Colonel Stewart Invernenty's Regiment in the year 1745." He left one son, James who has two sons, who are slate quarriers on the Isle of Bute. His two sons are: 1. David, who has four sons who are minors. 2. James, who has four sons who are minors. Grudairgorrach means "The Batty Brewer." Grudaire means "brewer" and gorrach means "demented." To maintain the poetic alliteration of the original, we render that as "The Batty Brewer." Stewarts of the South gives no indication of where this line lived before the two grandsons moved to Bute. as such, we have been unable to identify them in records. | Stewart, Lieut. Alexander Grudairgorrach (I14755)
|
| 1272 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as late in Monachyle Tuarach, thus he died before 1815. Alexander married on 14 APR 1771 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Anna Fisher (both from Balquhidder parish). | Stewart, Alexander in Monachyle Tuarach (I14793)
|
| 1273 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as one of James' two younger sons who were "at their education [and are] intended for the learned professions." Alexander's later whereabouts is unknown. 1882. STUART, Alexander. Value of Estate, £7,288, 13s. 5d. 14 September. Confirmation of Alexander Stuart, some-time Wine and Spirit Merchant, Dundee, afterwards residing at Fernbank, Logie Den, Lochee Road there, who died 11 August 1882, at Dundee, testate, granted at Dundee, to Sarah Brown or Stuart, his widow, Rev. James Thomson Stuart, and David Brown Stuart, his sons, Alexander Dick Grimmond, Merchant, Dundee, and John Brown, Shipbuilder there, Executors nominated in Will or Deed, dated 8 September 1870, and recorded with other Writs in Court Books of Commissariot of Forfar, 11 September 1882. --- He was previously mistakenly reported to be the following: "Alexander Stewart, joint tenant residing in Brackland, afterwards residing in Sheels. 3/5/1852." However, that testament belongs to Alexander Stewart in Easter Brackland, born 1761 in Wester Brackland. | Stewart, Alexander Grocer in Rosebank (I14464)
|
| 1274 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Alexander Stewart mac Iain Duibh brother to James of Dunveirg." No more information is given about him. No dates or locations are given for him. It's tempting to infer that Alexander therefore had no male descendants, but that could be reading too much into the absence of information. It may be that the male line was extinct or had emigrated by the time of Stewarts of the South (c. 1815), or that the author didn't know much about this family. A matching birth family can be found in the Port of Menteith parish register, as shown here with an Alexander, son of John Stewart, who happens to be in Duniverig. Thus it is suggested, but not confirmed, that Alexander Stewart is the one born 29 Sep 1717 at Duniverig, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland, to John Stewart and Catherine McKercher. There is also a family found in the Callander parish register as the only family living in Craigleven, who happen to originate in Achray. They also resided in Cuilantogle and Ardcheanochdan -- two residences associated with the kindred branches of this family from III-Branch in Ardcheanochdan. This family is also found in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions in Kilmahog cemetery. They are buried adjacent to the family of Robert Stewart in Lower Duart (Gartnafuaran IV-Branch), but do not appear to match with that family. Mitchell indicates that the three families buried at graves 44-46 are not related to the "other" Stewarts in Duart. This could be understood that the families at 44-46 were related to each other, or it could also be interpreted that they were merely not related to the "other" family in Duart (the Invernahyle branch) and it's not necessarily the case that the entry at 46 is related to 44 & 45. #46 -- 1793. pelican plucking its breast, in her nest (crest of the STEWART family).

|
| 1275 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Alexander Stewart son to Duncan Stewart late tenant of ?Drunky, Port parish, Lordship of Menteith, now the property of Mr. Hunter in Edinburgh. He (Alexander) is a grocer in Glasgow. He has three sons in good circumstances; one of them is a student of Divinity." | Stewart, Alexander (I14298)
|
| 1276 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Alexander Stewart, his brother, [who is a] tenant in Bracklin. [He] has three sons under age." Alexander is described in the Appendix to Stewarts of the South as: "Mr Alexander Stewart, his [James'] brother, same farm (tenant in Easter Brackland), a rather better character." Alexander is listed in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Callander Cemetery: "224 1851 Francis STEWART, farmer (in) Brackland, in memory of (his) mother Mary AITKEN, 17 FEB 1843, age 75; brother James 5 JUN 1847, Alexander STEWART 11 OCT 1851, age (20 or 90)." Baptismal records can be found for only one of Alexander's children. Alexander's son, Francis, is found in census records. | Stewart, Alexander in Easter Brackland (I14766)
|
| 1277 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Alexander Stewart, known by the name of Lord Glasgow at Callander where he has some houses. He was once a grocer in Glasgow. He is both ignorant and purse proud. He is son to James Stewart, late tenant of Cuilanleogale in Callander parish on the Earl of Murray's estate. He has no family. He is cousin to James Ban, a man of different turn of mind." Alexander's cousin, James Ban, has not been identified. | Stewart, Alexander "Lord Glasgow" (I14297)
|
| 1278 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Alexander Stewart, son to the said Duncan Stewart of Glenbuckie & Graham of Dochry's daughter. [Alexander] was Tacksman of Tomnasai near the Kirkton of Balquhidder [on] Sir John McGregor's estate, of which he was dispossessed some time before his death, by one Ronald McGregor a son to Rob Roy, when the forfeited estates were in the hands of the Barons of the Exchequer." Stewarts of the South goes on to say that Alexander left three sons, and appears to identify these sons as Alexander, David, and John, who are described in some detail. However, these are actually Alexander's grandchildren, not his sons. Stewarts of the South has omitted an entire generation in its accounting. Alexander's son, Duncan, who is the actual father of the three sons so mentioned is missing from the accounting presented in Stewarts of the South. Stewarts of the South mentions that Alexander was dispossessed of Tomnasai by Ronald McGregor, however, chronologically, it is more likely that it was Alexander's son, Duncan, who was dispossessed and forfeited. Tomnasai has not been located on any maps, but its description places it near the Kirkton of Balquhidder. Its name may derive from Tom na saidh, which means “hill of the post” or from Tom na soi which means "gentle hill" or "a hill that is calm or of ease." Alexander's grandson, John, a published poet, said he was born on "the Hill of the Hay" which may be an allusion to the name, Tomnasai. (Barbara Neal) Alexander Stewart is also listed in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for the cemetery at Brig O' Turk: "26 table stone (next to 25) DS 1786. IC. Pelican plucking its breast, on her nest. Alexander STEWART, brother John STEWART of Glenbucky, first son Duncan, 6 JUN 1760, age 68 (by sons Alexander, John, Duncan)." This entry requires some interpretation: Duncan Stewart is the one who died on 6 JUN 1760 at age 68. The stone is placed by Duncan's sons, Alexander, John and Duncan. The deceased Duncan was the first son of (this) Alexander Stewart (of Tomnasai), who was in turn the brother of John Stewart of Glenbuckie. The initials "IC" are the Latin initials of Duncan's second wife, Janet Campbell. It is important to note that Duncan is described as Alexander's "first son", thus we can infer that Alexander had other sons, who are presently unknown to us. Whoever these sons were they appear to have had no descendants recorded in Stewarts of the South. Alexander's son, Duncan, was presumably born at Tomnasai. He later moved to Brig o' Turk where he began his family. He returned to Kirkton sometime between 1729-1742. This likely indicates Duncan returning to claim Tomnasai as his inheritance, which suggests that Alexander likely died between 1729-1742. | Stewart, Alexander 1st of Tomnasai (I14797)
|
| 1279 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Alexander Stewart, [a] shoemaker in Edinburgh, [is a] grandson of Donald. [Alexander is] a bachelor." | Stewart, Alexander (I14456)
|
| 1280 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Alexander, a cattle dealer with his father." In 1841 at age 55, Alexander Stewart was residing at Corriechrombie in Strathyre, in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and children, James, Christian, Duncan, and Alexander. He was employed as a farmer. In 1851, at age 65, Alexander Stewart was residing at Corriechrombie in Strathyre, in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and their son, Alexander. He was employed as a farmer of 20 acres, employing 1 servant. On 10 Dec 1859 at age 73, Alexander Stewart died at Corriechrombie, Strathyre, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. He was recorded as a widower at the time of his death. Earlier this same year, his son, John Stewart, immigrated to Canada. After Alexander's death, his son Duncan Stewart took over the family farm at Corriechrombie. | Stewart, Alexander in Corriechrombie (I14372)

| 1281 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Alexander, a Lieutenant in the Army [who] died in the East Indies." | Stewart, Lieut. Alexander (I14257)
|
| 1282 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Alexander, a manufacturer in Paisley." It does not indicate if he had children. | Stewart, Alexander Manufacturer in Paisley (I14287)
|
| 1283 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Alexander, [a] late tacksman of Leanachoill, who had seven sons, all dead except two." | Stewart, Alexander in Invernenty and Wester Shenachyle (I14792)
|
| 1284 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as: "One of his sons was Alexander, who died [as] a cow-feeder in Glasgow and left four sons." | Stewart, Alexander (I14258)
|
| 1285 | Alexander is described in the 1684 testament as a predeceased brother of James Stewart in Wester Auchtow. Whether he was an older or younger brother is unknown and does not adversely affect the accounting of this family. However, the fact that he died before James would lend a small weight to the suggestion that Alexander was older. It is presently suggested that Alexander was the older brother and that the property of Auchtow would have passed firstly to him, and, presumably with heirs failing, then latterly to his brother James. | Stewart, Alexander (I14644)

| 1290 | Alexander is identified as "Dr. Stewart of Glasgow" in the testimony of Robert Stewart in Buchany from the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856): "Declared that he was personally acquainted with Alexander Stewart late tenant in Carse of Cambus who is now at Blairdrummond Moss and that he was also acquainted with his father James Stewart who was tenant in Carse of Cambus, and was buried in Kilmadock Churchyard in 1826. That he also knew John Stewart Merchant in Kippen, who was the brother of James last mentioned, and the father of Dr Stewart of Glasgow, and John Graham Stewart also in Glasgow. Declares that the father of John and James above mentioned was Hugh Stewart, who was first a tenant in Ballacaish, under Mr Stewart of Craigton, which adjoins Annat, and afterwards in Carse of Cambus, and that Hugh is also buried in Kilmdaock Churchyard. That Hugh Stewart was first married to Margaret Buchanan, who was the mother of John Stewart in Kippen, and second to Janet [Duncandow] who was the mother of Janet Stewart in Carse of Cambus. That Hugh Stewart was son of John Stewart tenant first in Ballacaish aforesaid, and afterwards in Lendrick which was one of the forfeited farms on the Perth estate."

| 1291 | Alexander is identified only in the 1772 testament of his grandfather, Alexander Colvin, in which he is identified as a brother of Patrick Stewart and Margaret Stewart. He is listed third and thus is suggested to be younger than Patrick and Margaret. None of their birth years are known for certain. It is estimated that Alexander was probably born about 1750. Alexander is not listed as having any children in the testament so it is inferred that he was not married in 1772, so a birth of about 1750 would fit. Alexander Stewart has not been confidently identified in any other records. --- Notes to be edited: After reviewing Alexander Colvin's testament in more detail, I find that I come to the same conclusion as you. Alexander Stewart must be a previously unknown child of William Stewart, formerly younger of Ledcreich. I agree with your assertion that, with both William Stewart and Catherine Colvin having fathers named Alexander, William and Catherine certainly would have named one of their sons Alexander. So we have evidence of Alexander Stewart existing in 1772 when the testament of Alexander Colvin was written. However, we also have the testament of William Stewart himself, dated 22 Aug 1778, in which he does NOT name a son, Alexander. https://stewartsofbalquhidder.com/.../will-of-patrick.../ That would strongly suggest to me that Alexander died between 1772-1778, which would explain why he has not been found in any records before now. And, as no unaccounted-for grandchildren are named in William's testament, then I would also suggest that Alexander died without children. If he had any surviving children in 1778 then William would have named them as he did with his grandson Walter, son of the late Patrick. I think Alexander may not have even married. So I'm going to suggest that he is not the Alexander Stewart who married in 1789 to Lydia Rellier, as I think he was already dead by that point. Given the witness name of William on that marriage, it's really tempting to want to connect that marriage to our newfound Alexander, but unless we have Y-DNA evidence confirming that Alexander Stewart matches the Ledcreich Stewarts' DNA then I'm going suggest the common names are merely coincidence. Our major biographical source for William's family comes from the Brown Family Bible. The information in it was dictated by Patrick Stewart in 1763 and was later supplemented with additions from his grandson, Dr. James Carraway in 1789. The way that history is laid out suggests that Patrick Stewart's contribution in 1763 was just his ancestry and his own children up to that point, as well as a simple mention of his brother, William having come with him. I think most of the biographical information on Patrick and William's children's families comes from the later 1789 additions, after Alexander had likely died. This would explain why he's not mentioned in the Brown bible. https://stewartsofbalquhidder.com/.../stewarts-of.../ --- Now we have to determine when our newfound Alexander was born. Alexander Colvin's testament appears to name his beneficiaries in chronological order, excepting his own eldest son, which would be the standard way to account for a family. As such, it definitely appears that Alexander Stewart was William's third child after Patrick Stewart and Margaret Stewart. On this, I agree with Josh Stewart that Alexander Stewart was probably born c. 1750, give or take a couple of years. However, the traditional naming custom was to name the FIRST son after the paternal grandfather and the SECOND son after the maternal grandfather. In this case, both grandfathers were named Alexander. This would create a strong motive for them to name their FIRST son Alexander, not their second son. I grant you that the traditional naming custom is not 100% reliable and began to break down post-immigration, but it usually began to break down with the third-named children, then later dropping the second-named children, and the most enduring part of the custom was the first-named child, which often continued for a couple of generations in the New World. That suggests to me that William and Catherine likely also had a first son named Alexander born c. 1742 who likely died in childhood after the birth of his brother, Patrick. And that our newfound Alexander was their fourth child, named after his deceased brother, which was also a common custom. I'm going to suggest we're likely looking at: 1. Alexander Stewart, born c. 1742, died in childhood probably c. 1746-1749ish. 2. Patrick Stewart, born c. 1745 3. Margaret Stewart, born c. 1748 4. Alexander Stewart, born c. 1750 (named in his maternal grandfather's testament), died 1772-1778. | Stewart, Alexander (I29854)

| 1292 | Alexander is mentioned in miscellaneous notes in the (John) MacGregor Collection: "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 meaning of the last sentence is uncertain. The only John Stewart in Glenbuckie that could fit chronologically would be John Stewart of Benmore who became 13th of Glenbuckie by marriage. John Stewart of Benmore and 13th of Glenbuckie, was the son of Capt. John Glas Stewart of Benmore and his wife, Margaret Stewart, daughter of John Stewart, 4th of Ardsheal. Capt. John Glas Stewart was the son of John Stewart of Coll and an unknown woman, born ca. 1660-1670. If she was a daughter of this Alexander Stewart, then that would make Alexander the great-grandfather of John Stewart of Glenbuckie. John Stewart, 4th of Ardsheal, was married to an unknown woman, born ca. 1665-1670. If she was a daughter of this Alexander Stewart, then that would also make Alexander the great-grandfather of John Stewart of Glenbuckie. There is no accounting that could make Alexander the grandfather of John Stewart of Glenbuckie. | Stewart, Alexander (I14769)

| 1293 | Alexander is not certain to be a son of this family. His father's first name not given is not given in the OPR but Duncan was residing in Monachyle Mor at the time. It is possible that Alexander could be the son of James in 1/3 Monachyle, but unlikely. | Stewart, Alexander (I14476)
