Notes |
- Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "There was another cousin of his, a Duncan Stewart, who resided at Balfron, Stirlingshire as a cotton spinner, and who formerly lived at Bailechoalish [in] Appin [in] Argyleshire. [He] left two sons: the one a shoemaker, the other a tailor, who have both families - two sons each under age who now live in Balfron." Duncan is listed as one of four grandsons of Sean Rob: Robert, Robert, Duncan and John. The reference to "another cousin" refers to the first Robert, but does not indicate his relationship to the second Robert. Duncan could be either a cousin of both Roberts, or merely a cousin of the first Robert and a brother of the second Robert. The simpler relationship is preferred for now in the absence of other evidence.
