• Notes

  John Stewart's birth is estimated to be about 1690 in Lednascridan, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. No record has been found of John Stewart's birth as it likely occurred prior to the commencement of the Balquhidder parish register. John Stewart's widow is cited at the records of the 1764 trial of Robert Stewart in Lednascriddan. Little is known of John. He is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South; only his sons Peter and Robert and their families are mentioned. However sufficient information is presented on Peter and Robert to allow us to identify John in the Balquhidder parish records. John is listed in the 1755-56 Statistics of the Annexed Estates as having been forfeited in the lands of Lednascridan as a Jacobite. John was forfeited along with his co-possessors, Archibald McLaren and Duncan McLaren along with five cottars. The statistics record 8 families residing in Lednascridan with 3 males and 3 females under 10, 3 males and no females between 10-17, 7 adults males and 12 adult females, for a total of 28 residents, only 17 of which could speak English. The lands of Lednascridan were returned to the family in 1776 in a lease from the Commissioners for the Forfeited Estates which was granted jointly to Peter and Robert Stewart (sons of John) and John McLaren Sr. and John McLaren Jr. who were presumably related to either Archibald or Duncan McLaren who lost the estate in 1756. The Stewart lease on Lednascridan expired in 1816 while in the hands of John’s grandson, John Stewart, of Lednascridan. John married on 17 JUN 1721 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Mary Steuart. Mary's birth family is unknown but onomastics would suggest that her father was named Peter/Patrick. John is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South, however he is onomastically consistent with the reference to Peter Stewart of Lednascridan, below.
