Notes - James is described in Stewarts of the South as: "James Stewart, late tenant of Inverlochlarig-mor in Balquhidder, formerly [the] property of McGregor of Glencarnaig, now that of the Earl of Moray, left two sons, [namely] Alexander, [a] surgeon at Bo-ness in a respectable way, and who has a large family [and David, a respectable dancing-master in Stirling, who has one son."
No matching birth record for son Alexander has been found. There is an excellent match for son David as shown here. Furthermore the Balquhidder OPR and Stewarts of the South show no other family that would match this description residing in Inverlochlarig. Thus we can be reasonably confident in the family as accounted here.
The marriage of James Stewart and Catharine Stewart shown here is not confirmed. There is at least one other couple in the parish also named James Stewart and Catharine Stewart for whom the marriage in 1768 could also fit. The marriage register describes the couple simply as "both of this parish" which could apply to either couple. However, this James and Catherine are shown in the Balquhidder OPR having an illegitimate daughter in 1766 and then a legitimate son, David later in 1768 so the marriage does fit well here.
There is no record of the birth of their first son Alexander. It is not known if Alexander may also have been born of the same parents prior to their marriage or if Alexander may have been the product of a previous marriage of his father, not recorded. In the absense of evidence either way Alexander is presently shown as the child of both James and Catharine for convenience.
