Notes - Duncan Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as being the patriarch of Branches 3 & 4 of the Stewarts of Ardvorlich. He is described as: "Duncan Brother to Major Stewart of Ardvorlich Tacksman of Auchraig [in] Port Parish Monteith then the property of Ardvorlich. His son Alexander whose offspring are called Sliochd Alastir Oaig." And also as: "Duncan Oag of Ardvurlich commonly called Letter Stewart Tacksman of Letter & Auchraig then belonging to Ardvurlich Port [of Menteith] Parish." "Oag" means "young", as in "Young Duncan".
Duncan is incorrectly recorded in The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vol.1 as being the "first" of this family to settle in Glen Finglas in 1592. This is impossible as Duncan was not born yet.
Duncan settled at Inchcallbeg and acted as joint-bailie with his brother William to a Sasine for the lands of Ardvorlich in favour of their elder brother James on 18 July 1627. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland)
Duncan held the lands of Letter (in Balquhidder) and Auchraig and Inchalbeg near Lake Rusky in Menteith. Inchalbeg seems to have been his primary residence.
Auchraig and Inchalbeg are deep in the heart of Clan Graham country which must have made for a very uncomfortable situation after Duncan's oldest brother, James Beag Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich, murdered John Graham, Lord Kilpont, and prompted the Grahams to swear a blood feud against the Stewarts of Ardvorlich.
Duncan's testament is registered in the Dunblane Commissariat Records on 16 Nov 1632; "Stewart, Duncan, son to Alaster Stewart, in Ardvorlich."
