Notes |
- Charles birth is a bit of a mystery. He is recorded in the Balquhidder OPR as being born at Tighnacoil, which is the primary residence of the Stewarts in Cuill. His parents are recorded as being "James and Catharine Stewart", which matches chronologically perfectly with James Stewart, 2nd in Cuill, known as "Seamas na Coille" and his wife Catharine Stewart who were married in 1749 and had their first confirmed child in 1750. However, it would violate onomastics that they would name their first son, Charles. Thus it is inconceivable that Charles could be their son. However, there was another James Stewart also living at Tighnacoil -- named James Stewart, 1st in Cuill. It is therefore suggested, but not verified, that Charles was a much younger brother of Seamas na Coille rather than his son.
