Notes - Alexander Stewart, is probably the Allester Dow Stewart mentioned in the 1636 Trial of Gilderoy (although the The Edward S. Gray Papers say Allester Dow was Alexander's father, Alexander). The trial records state that Gilderoy's party broke into and stole articles from the dwelling house of Allester Dow Stewart at Gartnafarrow. James Stewart of Ardvorlich served on the jury in this trial. (Memorials of Troubles in Scotland, Spalding Club, vol. I, p.437).
It is suggested that Alexander Dubh MAY be the Alexander Stewart, patriarch of Gartnafuaran Branch IV - The Stewarts in Lower Duart and Grodich, a.k.a. Sean Rob mhic Alasdair Oig. It seems most likely that the Gartnafuaran portion of Glenfinglas would have been given to the head of the family at that time, namely Alexander Stewart, 5th of Gartnafuaran. He would have doled out his properties amongst his sons rather than giving the Glenfinglas property to a nephew or cousin. Thus the later Duart family in Glenfinglas most likely descends from a son of Alexander Stewart, 5th of Gartnafuaran. The present arrangement seems most likely given onomastics and chronology.Alexander's identity is inferred from our interpretation of the patronymic of this clan. It is believed that he was called Alasdair Oig ("Young Alexander") to differentiate him from his father.
