• Notes

  Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "Duncan Stewart, m. in 1730, to his sister-in-law, Grisel, daughter of David Drummond, brother of John Drummond of Colquhalzie, and sister and co-heir of her brother, John Drummond of McCorrestone, and was father of John, Alexander, Janet and Katherine." The will of Dr.David Stewart of Breanachoille, younger son of Alexander Stewart, 10th of Glenbuckie, nephew of this Duncan Stewart, refers to "his cousin Janet, being the daughter of Duncan Stewart of Torrie." That would make this Duncan Stewart the one who was of Torrie. In 1745, there were minutes of the presbytery of Kilmadock in which action was being taken to shut down a private Roman Catholic boarding school for boys. The school was run out of the house of "Mr. Duncan Stewart of Torrie." It is believed that this Duncan Stewart is that teacher as he was designated as "Duncan Stewart of Torrie" at that time. And the list of students enrolled in the school include his nephew of Glenbuckie and several other families who were closely connected to the Glenbuckie Stewarts as fellow Jacobites. https://stewartsofbalquhidder.com/2023/06/22/the-catholic-jacobite-school-in-kilmadock/ The presbytery directed Mr Duncan Stewart to cease teaching and to disband the school. They also ordered the parents of the students to cease sending their kids there. In response to this order, Duncan Stewart "left the kingdom [and has] retired to some Popish country" (presumably France or Italy).
