• Notes

  Archibald is the patriarch of Line 4 of Branch VIII of the Stewarts of Annat in Stewarts of the South. Archibald is mentioned in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions, buried in Kilmahog: "28 emblems of mortality. 1803. Archibald STEWART, MAY 1791, wife Mary MCFARLAND, 24 MAY 1796, by son Daniel in ---- (illegible)." Archibald is shown as the son of John Stewart in Lendrick in most of the family trees submitted in evidence in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856). His status as eldest or second son is contested in the trial. (See the notes on his brother, Hugh Stewart, 2nd of Ballacaish, for more information.) Archibald is mentioned by the testimony of Robert Stewart in Buchany in 1852: "[Robert] eclares that he knew Janet Stewart a granddaughter of this John and a daughter of Hugh and he remembers her being a servant to Mr Jaffray at Glassingall, and that she was said to be a cousin (natural) to the Laird of Glassingall that the said John Stewart left his said son Hugh Stewart in the farm of Ballacaush aforesaid, and went to the farm of Lendrick with Archibald another son, whose descendents are still there. That the said John Stewart was married to Isobel Macfarlane a daughter of Hugh Macfarlane of Calliechra at Loch Katrine in the Parish of Callander." The following is also from the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856): "Certified copy of what is written in the family bible Lendrick 1756 that I bought this [presumably referring to the bible] for 4 pounds Scots money out of Glasgow written and signed by me Archibald Stewart. On account of my age and when the year of God I was born 1712 and married in year of God 1737 and Margaret was born in the year of God 1739 and was married in February 1763. So, Isabel was born in August 1741 and Archibald was born in November 1749 and Donald was born about the 1st of August 1757. On account when my father and mother dyed [died], my father dyed the year of God 1740 and was buried in his own spulcher [sepulchre], and my mother dyed the year of God, [The sentence is incomplete and the year is not given.]" It is worth noting that, according to this account, Archibald's first son, John (confirmed by OPR) was born before his parents were married and is not mentioned at all in the family bible and is thus presumed to have died in childhood. Children Alexander, Mary, and Duncan are also not mentioned and are also presumed to have died young. As the OPR indicates 8 children were baptised and only 4 are mentioned in the family bible, this suggests the family experienced an infant mortality rate of 50%! A sad reflection on the difficulty of life in that era.
