• Notes

  John Dubh Mhor Stewart had eight sons who all grew to adulthood and had descendants. Alexander is the only son of John Dubh Mhor for whom we have any confirmed documentary evidence of his identity and for whom we have an unbroken descendant genealogy. Alexander is recorded in the Walker Family History as being a son of "Iain Dubh Shenman", son of James Stewart of Ardvorlich. There is no such Gaelic word as "Shenman". This would be a transcription error for "Iain Dubh (mac) Sheamuis," or "Black John (son of) James", known to us as John Dubh Mhor Stewart of Dalveich, progenitor of this clan. The following letter appears to be from this Alexander to his brother, Charles: "1713 - Letter by Alex Stewart to brother Charles Stewart of Dalveich. Herewith by (James Murray of) Strowan's servant, your wallet and wife's provisions." (Garth Papers) Alexander's descendants are shown as 7 Line - The Stewarts in Carnlia, Glentarken and Moral.
