Notes |
- Two of the sisters (Catherine and Isabella) submitted evidence in an 1860s Glassingall Court of Sessiont case to settle the ownership of an Annat Stewart estate called Glassingall on the outskirts of Dunblane.
In their testimony, Catherine and Isabella spoke of their great grandmother, Isobel Stewart of Annat who was married to Alexander 4th of Ballachulish. They also spoke of their grandmother having Annat aunties (although they did not name the grandmother) with whom she had boarded in Stirling. This grandmother by deduction is a female child of the marriage of Alexander 4th of Ballachulish and Isobel Stewart of Annat, daughter of Alexander 4th of Annat.
Isabella's death registration indicates that she died at Castle Cottage, Doune, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, on 26 Oct 1869 at the age of 89. Her parents were given as James and Anne Stewart with a note indicating that Anne's maiden name was also Stewart. Her parents were both deceased.
"The ladies of Castle Cottage appeared to have land at Cleish Mill which is near the Crook of Devon towards Clackmannanshire/ Kinross.
"Isabella's will also make mention of long-standing financial provision by Charles Stewart of Ballachulish who would have been her second cousin. Additionally, Isabella’s will - she was the last of the four to die - was executed by Sir John Stuart of Kishorn, Shieldaig and Lochcarron who was the younger brother of Charles Stewart of Ballachulish."
