• Notes

  Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan, [a] brother to James Stewart, [is a] tenant of Crochavie was tacksman of Lochend [in] Perth County, [in] Port [of Menteith] Parish, [on] Erskine of Cardross' [estate]. [Duncan is] a respectable farmer [and has] three sons [who are] under age. [He pays] £120 rent." This reference indicates that he was tacksman (intermediate landlord) of the property of Lochend, but that in 1815 he was residing on his brother Charles' property at Crochavie. Mitchell's MI's (cited below) would seem to indicate that Duncan did later move to Lochend and reside there as that is where he died. Duncan is recorded in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Port of Menteith Cemetery: "46 (next to 45) Duncan STEWART died (at) Lochend 1828, wife Mary SANDS died 1857, seven children." He is buried with his wife and adjacent to his daughters Elizabeth and Jean/Jane, and his nephew Charles. This reference indicates that they had seven (surviving) children. As there are 11 births recorded for this couple then we must presume that four of their children died young. We know that daughters Elizabeth and Jean/Jane predeceased their parents. Whether they are included among the seven referenced on their parents' gravestone is unclear. The fact that only one of the children of this family can be found in later census records may indicate that the remainder of the family emigrated.
