| Notes |
- Archibald succeeded his father in the estate of Glassingall. He never married and had no children. He was succeeded in the estate by his nephew, Alexander Jaffrey.
According to Ailsa Gray of Glassingall (2022), Archibald, like his father, became a maltman in Stirling and was still working as one around 1756. There's a reference in the guildry books to him paying some stipend due to Stewart of Annat and that stipend remained outstanding. He was an ardent Jacobite and was defence witness at the trial of James Stewart of The Glen accused in the Appin Murder (though he never testafied). No will or death certificate has been located for him.
Archibald is recorded in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) as "Archibald Stewart, an only son, took up the succession of these properties as heir to his father. He destined the estates to his nephew, Alexander Jaffery, only son of his sister, Janet Stewart, He died unmarried."
Archibald's death without any children started a chain of events that would eventually lead to an ultimus haeres court hearing nearly 75 years later over the legitimacy of the inheritance of Glassingall by Thomas and Alexander Smith, because "Alexander Jaffrey...disregarded the destination clause in the disposition dated 1777 given by the uncle Archibald Stewart."
The preceding reference would suggest that Archibald Stewart died sometime around 1777.
