Notes - Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South (Glenbuckie: VI Walter nan Cliugh, 2 Line) as: "Alexander Stewart, [a] tacksman of Sheanchoil [in] Aberfoil parish [in the Lordship] of Monteith [on the] Duke of Montrose['s property]. [He has] three sons: 1. John is a writer in Glasgow; 2. Duncan is with his father at home looking after the farm; 3. Alexander is a minor and at home likewise." Shenachyle derives from the Gaelic Sean Coil which means "Old Woods."
According to descendant family records, Alexander married Sarah MacGregor. Alexander's marriage to Sarah MacGregor is recorded on 22 MAR 1787 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland and 25 MAR 1787 in Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland. This would be consistent with the account given by Mrs. Stewart of Milton that Alexander's family came from Strone in Callander and that two of his sons, John and Alexander were both lawyers in Glasgow. No birth record has been found for any of Alexander's sons in Callander. It's possible they were born in Glasgow.
