- John's date of birth is unknown. His birth as shown here is an estimate based on the estimated birth year of his elder brother Walter. His place of birth is not known, but is presumed to be the family estate of Baldorran.
John Stewart, 1st of Glenbuckie, was a younger son of William Stewart, 2nd of Baldorran, and was entered crown tenant of the lands of Stronslaney, in the Lordship of Balquhidder, in 1500. He was a substitute heir to his brother, Walter Stewart, younger of Baldorran, in the lands of Duchlas on 14 September 1500 and was witness with his father to a charter by James Mushet of Tolgarth disponing his share of the lands of Finlarig in favour of Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy on 27 February 1506. He acquired the lands of Glenbuckie. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland)
Duncan Stewart (1739) says: "(The) Predecessor was John, son to William Stewart of Baldorran, by his wife Marion Campbell, daughter to Glenorchy. This John married a daughter of Patrick Buchanan, predecssor to Arnprior and Auchlessie, by whom he had Patrick, Duncan and Robert (sic)." (No other source indicates a third son named Robert. It appears Duncan has confused the relationship of Robert, son of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie.)
John's descendants held the estate of Glenbuckie in Balquhidder for three centuries.
