• Notes

  Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "Andrew married Margaret Stewart, daughter to Alexander Stewart of Ardvorlich, by whom he had Walter, who succeeded him." Andrew and Margaret are named in the Merrill Bible. (Olar) In a 1622 petition by Lord Madertie for relief against those chargeable with him for the taxation of the Abbey of Inchaffray, “Andrew Stewart of Gartinfarrow” was charged a sum of money “for a part in the pendicles of the Kirk of Monzievaird” (Spalding’s Memoirs of Troubles in Scotland, vol. I, p.437, and Privy Seal 1622 13th Oct., vol. xiii, p.758, first series, c/o Olar). It is not certain that the Andrew referred to in the 1622 petition is this Andrew. It is possible that he could be from an earlier generation. Our present preferred interpretation is as shown. The Murder of Lord Kilpont Andrew Stewart and his son, Walter, were present on 1 September 1644 after the Battle of Tippermuir/Tibbermore in the camp of James Graham, Marquis of Montrose, when his brother-in-law and chief, James Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich, murdered John Graham, Lord Kilpont. On 1 March 1645, Andrew and Walter were among those who were pardoned for the act of fleeing the scene of the murder. Those pardoned included James Beag Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich; his son, Robert Stewart, younger of Ardvorlich; Duncan MacRobert Stewart, 2nd of Glen Ogle; Andrew Stewart, 6th of Gartnafuaran, and his son, Walter Stewart in Glenfinglas.
