| Notes |
- Daniel is a substitute name for Donald. Daniel is given in Stewarts of the South as the patriarch of 4 Line of the Stewarts of Dalveich. This branch resided in Walbeich. No such place has been identified on any maps, but its name would suggest that it was located somewhere in Glen Beich. It may be an Anglicization of Bhalbeich, or Balbeich, suggesting "farmstead of the birch trees".
Daniel's parentage is not known. He is shown here as a son of Donald Stewart in Wester Ardveich simply because he fits chronologically and onomastically as well as fitting the accounting pattern of Stewarts of the South.
Daniel is described in Stewarts of the South as "once a tacksman in Walbeich" and also as the father of John, Duncan, Lt. Alexander, and Donald. However current research suggests that Stewarts of the South is off by one generation and that Daniel may have been the grandfather of these four brothers, but their father appears far more likely to have been Robert, as shown here. All of the four sons named in Stewarts of the South had eldest sons named Robert, strongly suggesting that their father was named Robert. There is a family headed by a Robert Stewart in Dalveich whose children match almost perfectly with the sons shown for this branch.
