- According to Stewart Clan Magazine, this Dugald Stewart was the son or descendant of Donald Stewart of Auchnaquone. "Donald Stewart of Auchnaquone, Argyleshire, who had brothers Alexander, Duncan, Alan and Dugald, was descended from Dugald Stewart of Auchnaquone, third son of Sir Alan Stewart of Appin. There are five or six generations unaccounted for. 'The old and valuable papers of the Achnacone|Auchnaquone| family,' said THE STEWARTS OF APPIN, 1880, 'have, unfortunately, been lost.'" (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, December 1956, vol. 34, no. 6, pp.177-179.)
Gordon MacGregor (The Red Book of Scotland) shows some of the intervening missing generations but gives no further information on Dugald other than his name.
Dugald was one of the members of the party who sailed with Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, from Scotland to Cape Fear, North Carolina, USA, in 1739. Dugald Stewart is listed in 1740 as receiving a land grant in Bladen County for 640 acres, in which he is listed immediately following Patrick Stewart of Ledcreich. Dugald is also listed as settling in Harnett County in 1740 (probably the same place.)
Stewart Clan Magazine says:
"Dugald Stewart apparently came from Scotland, with his wife and some children, in 1739 in the same influx of highland settlers as Patrick Stewart. Dugald died, intestate, prior to Apr. 13, 1756, when Thomas Stewart, his "oldest son and heir at law," sold 200 of the 640 acres to John Rea. Thomas died about 1760, leaving issue an only child, Elizabeth. This Elizabeth Stewart never married, and at her death some time after Apr. 7, 1812, she devised her plantation (apparently the remaining 440 acres of her father's estate) to her cousins -- Robert, Hector and Dugald Stewart... Elizabeth's cousins -- Robert, Hector and Dugald Stewart -- almost had to be grandsons of Dugald through a younger brother of Thomas."
