Notes |
- Duncan was born in 1754 in Tomnasai, Kirkton, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. He used the substitute name David.
Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "David died unmarried had no children". (David is a substitute name for Duncan.) Duncan is also listed in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions as one of the three sons of Duncan who placed a stone in Brig O' Turk cemetery in memory of their father: "From Brig O' Turk Cemetery, 26 table stone (next to 25) DS 1786. IC. Pelican plucking its breast, on her nest. Alexander STEWART, brother John STEWART of Glenbucky, first son Duncan, 6 JUN 1760, age 68 (by sons Alexander, John, Duncan)". It is suggested that the "DS 1786" reference may refer to this Duncan Stewart ("DS") and that his date of death, 1786, was a later addition to the stone.
