Notes |
- Duncan became heir to Glenbuckie when his oldest brother, Patrick Stewart, gave up his right to Glenbuckie in favour of the property of Ledcreich. As Duncan's son, John Dubh Beag, was later recorded as being "of Ledcreich" when he helped clear the MacGregors from Glenfinglas, that may indicate that the exchange of lands occurred later in his life.
Stewarts of the South erroneously accounts Duncan as "9th of Glenbuckie." This is a mistaken reading of Duncan Stewart (1739) which shows Duncan as "IX Duncan" in reference to him being 9th generation in descent from James Beag Stewart, 1st of Baldorran and Balquhidder.
Duncan Stewart (1739) says "Duncan, son to Alexander Stewart in Glenbuckie, married first, ___ Campbell of the family of Ardkinglass, secondly, he married Katharine MacGrigor, grand-daughter to Dougal Keir MacGrigor, Predecessor to Innerlochlarig and Glengyle, said to be the last cadet of the Laird of MacGrigor, and had issue: 1 John, 2 Walter, 3 Duncan, 4 Patrick, 5 John Beg, and 6 Alexander."
The Ardvorlich History records that before 1580 Duncan Stewart, son of Black Alexander of Glenbuckie, was appointed as Deputy Royal Forester in Glenfinglas. The Royal Forester at the time was John Stewart, Constable of Doune.
