Notes - In 1841 Archibald was living with his widowed mother at Monachyle in Balquhidder. His mother was a servant to Donald McDonald of Monachyle.
In 1871, Archibald was residing in Edraleachdach with his brother, James.
In 1881 Archibald was residing at Monachyle with his cousin Duncan Stewart of Monachyle and shown as a retired farmer. Archibald is cited in the will of his brother James Stewart, 5th of Edraleachdach and Lorachan, in which Archibald is to receive the estate of Edraleachach and Lorachan with the conditions noted therein:
"Trustees shall allow my brother Archibald Stewart and his son Archibald John Stewart to remain upon and manage the farm of Edraleachalach with all its possessions and furnish the trustees information about the management of the farm yearly and for five years. After 5 years, “should my said Trustees be satisfied with the management and behaviour of the said Archibald Stewart and Archibald John Stewart” they were to convey the farm and it’s possessions to them. If the trustees were dissatisfied they were to convert the farm and it’s possessions to cash and “invest the sum of fifteen hundred pounds sterling in their own names for behoof of the said Archibald John Stewart in liferent for his liferent use….”
Given that Archibald was found in 1881, ten years after his brother's death, residing again at Monachyle and is shown as a "retired farmer", this would strongly suggest that he failed to meet the conditions of the will above and that the farms of Edraleachdach and Lorach were sold by the trustees and dispersed as per above.
