• Notes

  James' date of birth is according to family records which have not been verified. According to our reconciliation of OPR records with family tradition, it would appear that James may have married three times, however this is not verified. According to family tradition, James married (firstly) to Janet FERGUSON, but no such marriage or corresponding children's baptisms can be found in the Balquhidder or Callander OPRs. However, James' second wife, Janet STEWART, may have been previously married to Donald Ferguson in Cuill, which may be the source of the family tradition. The Balquhidder OPR record of James' suggested second marriage says that James was a soldier although his rank and company are not known. James' suggested third marriage is not confirmed. A Charles Stewart is found in the Balquhidder OPR as born 1749 in Cuill to parents James and Catharine Stewart. This James' son, also named James, married a Catharine Stewart in 1749 and had his first child with her in 1750. It's possible that Charles could be the son of the younger couple, but that would violate onomastics and so seems unlikely. Thus it is presently suggested that Charles is the youngest son of James Stewart, 1st in Cuilt.
