Notes |
- Duncan Stewart (1739) says: "Alexander, who purchased the lands of Annat from James Muschet of Burnbank anno 1621. He married ___ MacNab, daughter to Aucharn, by whom he had John, Walter, Andrew and James. He had likewise Archibald, great-grandfather to Alexander Stewart of Glassingall, writer in Stirling."
Gordon MacGregor (The Red Book of Scotland) points out that there are multiple charters in which the younger sons of Alexander Stewart, 1st of Annat, are listed as Walter, Andrew, and James. In none of these charters is there a son named Archibald listed. The only reference to Archibald's existence comes from Duncan Stewart (1739). Macgregor suggests that Archibald likely did not exist and that the later line of Glassingall and Lanrick/Lendrick likely descend from a younger son of one of Alexander's younger sons and that the true ancestry of Glassingall and Lanrick/Lendrick is unknown. (Personal conversation with MacGregor.)
