 #   Notes   Linked to 
801 According to Stewart Clan Magazine, Tignal Jones Stewart was the "only identified child" of Charles Stewart and Polly Jones. "Tingnall Jones: his father was appointed his guardian Oct. 15, 1810." (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, March 1957, vol. 34, no. 9, pp.189-192)

Tignal Jones Stewart had a first cousin by his uncle Duncan Stewart, also named Tignal Jones Stewart who was born in 1800. Their parents were double-siblings so they shared the same double set of grandparents. Thus, on record they appear nearly identical. All records after 1810 for Tignal Jones Stewart born in 1800 appear to pertain to the other Tignal Jones Stewart, son of Duncan Stewart and Penelope Jones. No record for this Tignal Jones Stewart has been found later than the guardianship noted in Stewart Clan Magazine above.

It is presumed that this Tignal Jones Stewart never married nor had children. This is further supported by the fact that Tignal Jones Stewart is not mentioned in the farming partnership documents of his brothers, Duncan and Charles, suggesting that this Tignal Jones Stewart had died by 1832. 
Stewart, Tignall Jones (I18392)
 
802 According to Stewarts of the South he was a bleacher [in the] new town of Campsie and had sons.
 
Stewart, Son in Campsie (I20997)
 
803 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 (I21593)
 
804 According to Stewarts of the South John "Iain McDonachie" Stewart had four sons, only one of whom (Duncan) survived past 1815. However, parish records show that John actually had six sons, which means two of them must have died in childhood. We know the earlier Duncan died in childhood prior to the birth of the later Duncan. However, we do not know which of the other sons died in childhood and which survived long enough to be recorded in Stewarts of the South. Stewart, Alexander (I14828)
 
805 According to Stewarts of the South John "Iain McDonachie" Stewart had four sons, only one of whom (Duncan) survived past 1815. However, parish records show that John actually had six sons, which means two of them must have died in childhood. We know the earlier Duncan died in childhood prior to the birth of the later Duncan. However, we do not know which of the other sons died in childhood and which survived long enough to be recorded in Stewarts of the South. Stewart, David (I15636)
 
806 According to Stewarts of the South John "Iain McDonachie" Stewart had four sons, only one of whom (Duncan) survived past 1815. However, parish records show that John actually had six sons, which means two of them must have died in childhood. We know the earlier Duncan died in childhood prior to the birth of the later Duncan. However, we do not know which of the other sons died in childhood and which survived long enough to be recorded in Stewarts of the South. Stewart, Donald (I15878)
 
807 According to Stewarts of the South John "Iain McDonachie" Stewart had four sons, only one of whom (Duncan) survived past 1815. However, parish records show that John actually had six sons, which means two of them must have died in childhood. We know the earlier Duncan died in childhood prior to the birth of the later Duncan. However, we do not know which of the other sons died in childhood and which survived long enough to be recorded in Stewarts of the South. Stewart, Patrick (I17875)
 
808 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 (I16042)
 
809 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 (Line 1a above)." Stewart, Duncan in Lettir of Strathgartney (I16031)
 
810 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 (I14756)
 
811 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 (I15082)
 
812 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 (I14754)
 
813 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 (I15333)
 
814 According to Stewarts of the South, Charles died in the West Indies. Stewart, Charles (I15521)
 
815 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." 
Stewart, Donald Tanner in Edinburgh and Kilmahog (I15670)
 
816 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.

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. 
Stewart, Duncan 11th of Glenbuckie (I15935)
 
817 According to Stewarts of the South, Duncan had two sons in 1815. Stewart, Duncan (I15798)
 
818 According to Stewarts of the South, Duncan resided in Ledcreich, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland and that he was deceased at the time the document was written about 1815-1820. However OPR data shows his residences at the time of his children's births as being Invercarnaig and Blarcreich. Whether Stewarts of the South is in error on the location or whether Duncan lived in all three places is not known. The OPR data shown here is not confirmed but represents an excellent match. According to OPR data, Duncan Stewart married on 17 DEC 1783 in Balquhidder and 2 JAN 1784 in Callander parishes, (Duncan of Balquhidder parish and Margaret from Callander parish). Stewart, Duncan in Ledcreich and Invercarnaig (I16029)
 
819 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 (I15925)
 
820 According to Stewarts of the South, he was a cloth merchant in Glasgow. Stewart, Son (I21596)
 
821 According to Stewarts of the South, he was a spirit dealer in Glasgow, like his father. Stewart, Son (I21595)
 
822 According to Stewarts of the South, III Branch was called Sliochd Sheumais mhic Alistir mhic Dhunachy or "Children of James son of Alexander son of Duncan." III Branch also refers to the progenitor of these branches as "Brother to Iain Du Beg, [who] had three sons." The Iain Du Beg in question is the younger natural son of Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie.

Stewarts of the South describes the origin of V Branch "Lorachan Stewarts", as descended from "James McAlistir foresaid." When the text says "foresaid" it could be referring to several Jameses. It is tempting to suggest that the James MacAlasdair of V Branch is identical to the James mac Alasdair mhiv Duncan of III Branch. This makes the most sense, but it seems so far impossible to reconcile that connection chronologically. There appears to be a missing generation. Thus we currently show this "Duncan?" with a question mark to fulfill the patronymic and show him as a son of Duncan Stewart, younger brother of Iain Du Beg, son of Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie, to indicate his unreconciled line of descent. 
Stewart, Duncan? of Glenbuckie III and V Branches (I16560)
 
823 According to Stewarts of the South, James Stewart was a tenant in Tommineoin and afterwards at Kilmahog. Stewart, James in Tommineoin and Kilmahog (I16568)
 
824 According to Stewarts of the South, James was a "schoolmaster in Aberfoyle". However, Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions indicates that James was also (or subsequently) a student of Divinity. James' burial is recorded in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions in Callander cemetery: "195 by Alexander STUART, in memory of (his) brother Walter, died at Elgin 27 APR 1819, age 23, and brother James (a student) in Divinity died (at) Bracklinn 29 APR 1822, age 25." Stewart, James (I16545)
 
825 According to Stewarts of the South, James was a tacksman at Wester Invernenty and later at Bohelecan near Dryman. He had three sons who all had families. Stewart, James in Wester Invernenty and Bohelecan (I16570)
 
826 According to Stewarts of the South, John resided in Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland, just east of Stirling. John was described as having "no sons" but he may have had daughters. Stewart, John in Alloa (I17243)
 
827 According to Stewarts of the South, John resided in Redhaugh, Touch, Stirlingshire, Scotland. Stewart, John in Redhaugh (I21585)
 
828 According to Stewarts of the South, John was "tutor to Appin." Stewart, John 3rd of Ardsheal (I17165)
 
829 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 (I17171)
 
830 According to Stewarts of the South, Robert was a shepherd on the Blair-Drummond estate. He had a son who was an "honest and industrious person".

In 1788 (or 1787) Robert moved from Balquhidder to the Blair Drummond Moss in Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire, Scotland, where he began his family.

In 1814, Robert and his family are found in the Drummond Moss Census residing at Summer's Lane No7.
Former Possessor: Robert Stewart
Present Possessor: Robert Stewart 52 yrs

Children:
Duncan 25 yrs
Peter 22 " (As Peter is also shown below as dying in 1796 at age 3 months, and as Stewarts of the South shows Robert having only one son, it's possible that this Peter is a son-in-law, rather than a son.)

Robert Stewart's wife, Mary McNie sent a family bible to their son, Dunan, in Canada, with the following inscription:

"This Bible is Sent from Summer Lane Blair Drummond Mofs to Duncan Stewart son of Robert Stewart late of that Place by his Mother Mary (or Marg) McNie as the best blefsing she can send and may God be with you and yours is the earnest Prayer of your Mother.
Summerlane 26 May 1842"

From that inscription, we can identify Duncan's birth family as follows, however, there is no birth for Duncan himself.

831 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 (I15838)
 
832 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, Unknown in Auchrig (I21528)
 
833 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 (I16014)
 
834 According to Stewarts of the South, this son was a minor ca. 1815.
 
Stewart, Son (I21591)
 
835 According to Stewarts of the South, this son was a minor ca. 1815.
 
Stewart, Son (I21592)
 
836 According to Stewarts of the South, this son was a minor ca. 1815. Stewart, Son (I21590)
 
837 According to Stewarts of the South, this son was a surgeon and physician. Stewart, Dr. Son (I21588)
 
838 According to Stewarts of the South, this son was a writer (lawyer). Stewart, Son (I21589)
 
839 According to Stewarts of the South, this son was an officer in another regiment other than the 42nd Regiment of Foot. Stewart, Son (I21587)
 
840 According to Stewarts of the South, this unknown son was an officer in the 42nd Regiment of Foot. Stewart, Son (I21586)
 
841 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 (I15052)
 
842 According to Stewrarts of the South he lived at Bonill, [Loch] Levenside [in] Dumbartonshire and had sons.
 
Stewart, Son in Bonhill (I20998)
 
843 According to Stirnet, Duncan died without children. Stewart, Duncan 3rd of Innerhadden (I15905)
 
844 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 (I3755)
 
845 According to the 1814 Blair Drummond Moss Census, Isabell died from hives in 1813 (sic) at age three months. Stewart, Isabell (I16392)
 
846 According to the 1814 Blair Drummond Moss Census, James died from Colic in 1797 at age one year. Stewart, James (I16528)
 
847 According to the 1814 Blair Drummond Moss Census, John died from Colic in 1796 at age one-and-a-half years. Stewart, John (I16959)
 
848 According to the 1814 Blair Drummond Moss Census, Mary died from smallpox in 1812 at age one year. Stewart, Mary (I17794)
 
849 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 (I10482)
 
850 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 (I24065)
