Notes - No record of Alexander's birth has been found. Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions quotes Mrs. Stewart of Milton who recalled: "Alexander STEWART who had Auchnahard and left Glenfinglas was brother of John (grandfather of STEWART of Milton)." John Stewart of Milton was a grandson of John Ban Mor STEWART by his son Robert Ban Mor. Alexander would have left Glenfinglas ca 1745. This entry is noted in connection with the burial of Robert STEWART in Duart 1733-1818 of Gartnafuaran Branch IV and not in connection with the burial the Auchnahard Stewarts. Old Scots custom did not distinguish between "brother" and "brother-in-law". The term "brother" was was used for both. If "full brother" was intended then the term "brother german" was usually used. When the term "brother" was used it could refer to full brother, half-brother, or brother-in-law.
Callander parish records show the most likely candidate for this Alexander was one who married Beatrix Stewart and resided in Grodich and Auchnahard and possibly later in Bochastle.
It appears more likely that Beatrix Stewart was the one who was the child of James Stewart in Glen Finglas and not Alexander. In which case the "brother" reference above likely refers to "brother-in-law". However, just in case the reference was intended to mean "brother-german" then we will leave this Alexander here for reference.
