• Notes

  John's baptism was witnessed by Robert and James Stewart. For reasons unknown, John did not take over the family property of Carse of Cambus, but, instead became a merchant in the town of Kippen, Stirlingshire. His younger half-brother, James, became 2nd of Carse of Cambus. John is described in Stewarts of the South as being "a merchant vintner and farmer in the village of Kippen, Stirling; has four sons; one of them a surgeon in Glasgow, the rest at home - not this one a Writer the third a merchant in Glasgow, the fourth is home." As John is mentioned in the present tense here, we can infer that he was still alive at the time of writing, ca. 1815-1820. The wording is confusing. It would appear that ca. 1820, three of John's sons were adults living in Glasgow, one a merchant, one a surgeon, and the other a writer (lawyer), and the fourth being a minor still residing at home. However, the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) mention only three sons and Kippen parish records show only three sons, thus we must conclude that Stewarts of the South is in error in some manner regarding this family. John is mentioned in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) as follows: "I Duncan Stewart, Auchnahard, Glenfinglass being now in the 96th year and in a sound state of mind do solemnly declare that John Graham Stewart residing at No 5 St Vincent Place, Glasgow is the oldest son of the late John Stewart, farmer Kippen who was the oldest son of Hugh Stewart farmer Carse of Cambus near Doune the son of John Stewart farmer Balichcaich the brother of Alexander Stewart of Glassingall but I cannot state on my [ ] within the said Hugh Stewart was the oldest or youngest son of the said John Stewart brother to Alexander Stewart of Glassingall This I declare to be the truth and correct statement and signed by me before these witnesses James Stewart residing at Duart Glenfinglass and William Stewart Whyte residing at [Flower Grove Caleaucter] (Callander?)" He is also mentioned in the testimony of Robert Stewart in Buchany from the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856): "Declared that he was personally acquainted with Alexander Stewart late tenant in Carse of Cambus who is now at Blairdrummond Moss and that he was also acquainted with his father James Stewart who was tenant in Carse of Cambus, and was buried in Kilmadock Churchyard in 1826. That he also knew John Stewart Merchant in Kippen, who was the brother of James last mentioned, and the father of Dr Stewart of Glasgow, and John Graham Stewart also in Glasgow. Declares that the father of John and James above mentioned was Hugh Stewart, who was first a tenant in Ballacaish, under Mr Stewart of Craigton, which adjoins Annat, and afterwards in Carse of Cambus, and that Hugh is also buried in Kilmdaock Churchyard. That Hugh Stewart was first married to Margaret Buchanan, who was the mother of John Stewart in Kippen, and second to Janet [Duncandow] who was the mother of Janet Stewart in Carse of Cambus. That Hugh Stewart was son of John Stewart tenant first in Ballacaish aforesaid, and afterwards in Lendrick which was one of the forfeited farms on the Perth estate." 1786 Oct 8 John Stewart and Margaret Graham were proclaimed married by the Rev. Mr Campbell at Kippen on the 27 Oct 1786.
