Notes - John's birth record has not been identified. His birth year is based on his age as given in the 1814 Moss Census. John is described in Stewarts of the South as "formerly [a] tenant of Immireoin [in] Glenbuckie & Murlagan in Balquhidder [on] Capt Stewart's estate. [He is] now condemned to be a moss laird, which is not much better than Egyptian slavery. Perhaps this man left few equals in goodness in Balquhidder and now as little respect is paid to him as to an old pack horse, which shows the uncertainty of human affairs." And also as, "John Stewart, Summerline Flander's Moss, of the same family (Glenbuckie). What you call a real hidden treasure, condemned, I may say, to real slavery, though voluntary, and has not left his match in Balquhidder for honesty and integrity. And I cannot but think it a pity that human affairs should be at times so ordered not much more thought of here than an old horse." John's initial residence is given in Stewarts of the South as Immereoin and Muirlaggan, but in the Balquhidder OPR his residence is recorded as Clach-glas ("Greystone") of Glenbuckie for the baptisms of his children. Clachglas is merely a residence on the Immereoin portion of Glenbuckie, thus the two places can be considered synonymous. About 1793, John moved his family to 9 Wood Lane ("Woodline Moss") in Flanders Moss on the Blair Drummond Estate.
No burial has been found for John. His description above suggests that he may have died in poverty and could not afford a stone.
