Notes - This daughter is listed in the Kilmadock OPR without a first name. She may have died at birth, however she is claimed by McFarlane family tradition to have married Donald McFarlane of Lettir (ca.1685-1744). No record of any such marriage exists, however David Hume Stewart, 3rd of Ballachallan is recorded as the tutor of the children of Donald McFarlane in a testament by Alexander McFarlane in Lettir, a tenant of Donald McFarlane of Lettir, by which at his death:
"The balance (of his estate) estimated, in value to the sum of One Hundred and Forty Seven Pounds Scots money which was put in the hands of David Stewart of Ballochallan as Tutor to the children of Donald Mcfarlane of Letter who bought the said effects."
A tutor for minor orphans is most often chosen from living uncles or aunts. Thus it seems most likely that this unknown Stewart and her alleged husband, Donald MacFarlane in Letter, died young and that David Hume Stewart, 3rd of Ballachallan, as an uncle, acted as tutor to the orphaned children. This claim is supported by the following reference in the Stewarts of the South:
"3 Auchraig & Letter Do - at present Benny Munrows property sold by the late Robert's father to a family of the name of Stirling who sold it again to one Mcfarlane from whom the late David of Balchallan swindled it, although they were his sisters children [emph. added]. It was once a grazing place to Ardvurlich family."
