Notes - Alexander's birth is recorded in the Balquhidder parish register as taking place on 11 Sep 1707 in Ledcreich, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland as the son of Alexander and Catherine Stewart. Alexander is believed to have died before adulthood. Duncan Stewart (1739) makes no mention of him. His older brother, Patrick Stewart, in his 1763 family history makes no mention of a brother named Alexander. Stewart Clan Magazine makes no mention of Alexander Stewart in its multiple articles on this family. Yet all three of these sources reference Alexander's brothers, Patrick, Robert, and William. If Alexander had survived to adulthood at least one of these sources would have mentioned him.
Several online trees erroniously conflate this Alexander Stewart with a different Alexander Stewart who was born in 1707 in Londonderry, Ireland and allegedly migrated to North Carolina, USA. As we have the record of this Alexander being born in Balquhidder, then Alexander in Londonderry could not be the same person.
