• Notes

  Donald's father's entry in Stewarts of the South says, in part: "[John] has four sons who are all minors. One of them is a student intended for the Church of Scotland." The following reference from Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Balquhidder cemetery is believed to pertain to the son intended for the Church of Scotland: "6 Rev. Donald STEWART, minister of the parish of St Marks, Demerary, died 28 NOV 1831, age 27." According to this entry, Donald was born ca. 1804. There are two Donald Stewarts born in 1804 (none in 1803 or 1805), and only one of these is described as a student of divinity. Thus it would appear that the Donald Stewart of St. Mark's parish must be this Donald Stewart. "St. Mark's parish, Demerary" is actually St. Mark's parish, Church of Scotland, in Demerara, West Bank, British Guyana. Donald is described in the Fasti Ecclesia Scoticana as "STEWART, DONALD, arrived 29th April 1831 ; died in seven months."
