- Alexander Stewart is identified in Rev. Duncan Stewart's 1739 History of the Stewarts as being the third son of Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie:
“Duncan, son to Alexander Stewart in Glenbuckie, married first, ___ Campbell of the family of Ardkinglass, secondly, he married Katharine MacGrigor, grand-daughter to Dougal Keir MacGrigor, Predecessor to Innerlochlarig and Glengyle, said to be the last cadet of the Laird of MacGrigor, and had issue: 1 John, 2 Walter, 3 Duncan, 4 Patrick, 5 John Beg, and 6 Alexander.” (Duncan Stewart (1739), p. 132.)
Stewarts of the South says that Branches III, IV, and V of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie descend from Duncan "Oig" Stewart, son of Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie. However, the author also gives III-Branch the patronymic Sliochd Sheumais mhic Alistir mhic Dhunachy and IV-Branch the patronymic Sliochd Dhonal mhic Alastair mhic Dhonachie indicating that both of these branches descend from Alexander, son of Duncan. The problem arrises when trying to determine which Alexander and which Duncan. The text says it is Duncan "Oig" Stewart from which these branches descend, so Alexander must be the son of Duncan "Oig" Stewart. However, the descriptions of Branches III, IV, and V contain contraditions, so another possibilty is that the patronymics could refer to this Alexander, son of Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie. However, that interpretation is unlikely. Thus we show Branches III, IV, and V descending from Duncan "Oig" Stewart, son of Duncan Stewart, 5th of Glenbuckie. And we show this Alexander Stewart as having no known descendants.
