• Notes

  Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "Alexander Stewart of Gartnafuaroe married Margaret, daughter to Colin Campbell in Dundurn and had James and Walter." Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "Alexander Stewart, 8th of Gartnaferan, succeeded his father and purchased the feu of his lands from John, Duke of Atholl, on 31 October 1718, for which he had a confirmation under the Great Seal on 26 July 1722. He married Margaret, daughter of Colin Campbell, Tacksman of Dundurn." The Balquhidder parish register refers to Alexander as "in Stronslanie, tacksman of Gartnafuaran". "On 13 Dec. 1729, he granted sasine to James Campbell, son of Duncan Campbell, brother of the laird of Edinample, for the eighth part of the lands of Gartnafuaran called Stronslany. A few years later, on 9 Aug. 1732, Alexander and his son James granted sasine in favor of Walter Stewart in Glenfinglas in security for a bond of 600 merks Scots." (Olar) Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says that he is the Alexander Stewart in Gartnafuaran referred to the 1708 testament of Alexander Stewart in Duart, which refers to the deceased's wife as Janet Stewart, daughter of the late Alexander Stewart in Gartnafuaran. However, this is not possible as MacGregor notes that Alexander purchased the feu of Gartnafuaran in 1718, thus he could not be "the late" Alexander in Gartnafuaran in 1708.
