Notes - John Stewart inherited Glenbuckie from his mother. He is described in Stewarts of the South as a poor manager and a big spender and was at risk of spending the full worth of the estate. To protect herself against bankruptcy, John's mother bound herself to several tutors including her half-brother, Capt. Duncan Stewart. On John's mother's death when the estate passed fully into John's care, Capt. Duncan Stewart "stepped aside" to allow his nephew, John, to get himself into financial trouble and then Capt. Duncan Stewart stepped in and purchased the estate of Glenbuckie. Duncan then had John unceremoniously evicted from the property. To add insult to injury, Duncan then replaced John with John's own former tenants, giving the appearance of elevating them in status to be equal to their previous laird. John Stewart had children by four different women but married only one.
John married "clandestinely" on 30 NOV 1805 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Mary STEWART of the Drumvaich branch of the Annat family. The Balquhidder OPR records: "Balquhidder OPR - 1805 Novr 30th, John Stewart younger of Glenbucky and Mary Stewart paid their fine for clandestine marriage. £1-1, deduct Sess clks dues (Session Clerk's Dues") .1.6, £.19.6." Mary's mother was second cousin to Gen. Robert Stuart of Rait.
Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, "John Stewart of Glenbuckie, bap. at Balquidder, on 19 August 1772 and squandered his inheritance to such an extent that his mother became compelled to place the estate under Trustees. At length it was purchased by his half-uncle, Captain Duncan Stewart, in 1804, reputedly through his connivance."
John has not been found in any census records and is beleived to have died prior to 1841, afterwhich his wife's relative, General Robert Stuart of Rait, provided his widow and daughters with a pension.
