Notes |
- The records of the Forfeited (Jacobite) Estates 1755-56 lists the lands of Jacobites that were forfeited as a consequence of the Rising of 1745. Included in the records of the Perth estates is the farm of Wester Ardveich. It lists the occupants of the farm as: Alexander McLaren, Duncan Stewart (believed to be this Duncan Stewart), James Stewart (possibly of Line 1), plus 3 subtenants and cottars for a total of 6 families.
Onomastics would suggest that father of Robert Stewart in Lochearnhead was named Duncan, which matches with the account of the Forfeited Estates.
Stewarts of the South indicates that Donald Stewart of Kip was related to Robert Stewart in Lochearnhead, but does not indicate how they are related. The fact that Robert's eldest son is named Duncan and not John would suggest that Robert Stewart in Lochearnhead and Donald Stewart in Kip were cousins and not brothers. Therefore, it is suggested that Robert's father's name was Duncan and that Duncan was a brother to John Stewart in Wester Ardveich.
