Notes - According to Stewarts of the South, this person's name was "Duncan McCallain" Stewart or "Duncan, son of Allan". According to The Ardvorlich History his name was Alasdair Dubh nan Damh Stewart or "Black Alexander of the Cattle" who was also called "Sandy of the Stirks" (stirks were black cattle). According to both accounts Alexander/Duncan was a cattle drover from Clan Appin who came to Glen Finglas and settled in Duart. According to Stewarts of the South, he came "with one of the family of Glenbuckie and married there." In its full context the word "there" is ambiguous in its reference -- it could refer to Glen Finglas or Appin, but most likely refers to Glenbuckie. This could mean that Alexander/Duncan came to Glen Finglas as a friend of, and under the protection of, one of the members of the Glenbuckie family and that he married while he was still living in Glenbuckie, or it could mean that he married a daughter of one of the Glenbuckie families, or both.
As Clan Appin were not among the families who shared in the division of Glen Finglas, yet a descendant of this branch in 1815 held one of the eight portions of Glen Finglas then this family either purchased or otherwise acquired one of the eight portions, possibly by marriage. Given the previous reference from Stewarts of the South it seems most likely that Alexander/Duncan married one of the daughters of Glenbuckie and acquired the Glenbuckie share of Duart by marriage.
The discrepency between these two sources may be resolved chronologically, if, as we show here, Alasdair Dubh nan Damh was actually a son of Duncan McCallain.In which case it is very possible that Duncan McCallain Stewart shown here is identical with Duncan McAlan Stewart, Innkeeper at Tighnaluib, of the Innishchoarich family.
