• Notes

  George Stewart is shown in the Kilmadock OPR as born in 1675 in Balachallan. MacGregor shows George as having married in 1713 to Mary Hume of Argaty, however no record of their marriage has been found with a specific date. Belinda Dettman shows them as parents of an unnamed child in 1706 from the Kilmadock OPR, suggesting their marriage was likely as early as 1705. Duncan Stewart (1739) says the second son of John Stewart of Annat was "Duncan, who purchased Ballachallan, whose son, George, married Mary Hume, daughter to Hary Hume of Argaty, by whom he had David, now of Balachallan, George, a surgeon in Maryland, James, William, and several daughters." Through marriage, George acquired the property of Argaty. The name Argaty (sometimes shown as Ardgaty) derives from the Gaelic aird, meaning "height", and gaoth, meaning "wind" and thus means "windy height". Argaty is a farm estate located just over a mile northeast of Doune. Argaty was originally part of the Doune estate, property of the former Dukes of Albany, ancestors of George Stewart. When the House of Stewart of Albany was brought down and executed, their lands were forfeited to the Crown and Argaty was among the forfeited properties. After the forfeiture, the Crown granted the lands of Argaty to John Sinclair, Esquire to the King's Chamber. The property passed to Sinclair's younger daughter who married Patrick Home (or "Hume" - pronounced "Hoom", not "Hyoom") of Polworth. Argaty thus came into the possession of the Home family. About a century-and-a-half later the property again fell upon a daughter, Mary Hume/Home, who married George Stewart, 2nd of Ballachallan, whose descendants took the name Home-Stewart (or Hume-Stewart). Ironically, through this circuitous route of forfeiture and marriages the property of Argaty actually returned to the descendants of the the same Stewarts who originally forfeited it three centuries earlier.
