Notes |
- In 1763, Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, dictated his maternal family tree through the Stewarts of Glenogle. In that tree Duncan Stewart of Glenogle is shown as the father of Robert Stewart of Glenogle and Alexander Stewart, who was Patrick Stewart's grandfather. Duncan Stewart's father is shown as unknown. Stewart Clan Magazine reproduced the tree in graphic form in 1956 and commented that Patrick Stewart should be considered a reliable source of information on his own mother's ancestry. However, Patrick's tree shows this Duncan Stewart married to the daughter of Alexander Stewart of Ardvorlich. But Patrick's tree has confused this Duncan with his grandfather, Duncan MacRobert Stewart of Glenogle, who married Janet Stewart of Ardvorlich. (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, December 1956, vol. 34, no. 6, pp.177-179)
Duncan is listed in the Atholl Regality Court records on 22 JUN 1689 as being a Captain of the court for the purpose of keeping the peace in the eastern part of the parish in service to the Duke of Atholl. He is likely also the same Duncan Stewart referred to in: "Letter from Breadalbane to Kenloch. Taymouth, 6 May 1696. A receipt for £40 stg.; 'I am afflicted for the poor people in the country, and cannot be at ease till ther be some remidie had ... Speak to Allan Stewart and others in Glenlochay to use all endeavours to get young roes, and to foster them upon cows milk and not goat, and to give them but fyve or six spoonfulls at a tyme and I shall satisfie them for their pains. Send to Duncan Stewart in Glenogill and others in the country to doe the like'." NAS GD112/15 " (Gordon MacGregor, author of The Red Book of Scotland, personal correspondence.)
