Notes - John must have done very well for himself as three of his sons were themselves lairds and landowners, a fourth was a doctor, and a fifth was Deputy Governor of Edinburgh Castle. He signed the 1654 Bond of Keltney Burn along with the heads of all the other Stewart houses in Balquhidder, Atholl, and Appin swearing allegiance to King Charles II.
The Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) say "[Alexander Stewart of Annat's] eldest son was Captain John Stewart from whom the [Glassingall] petitioners descend."
Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "John Stewart of Annat, married first, Janet Graham, daughter to Gespard Graham of Gartur, by whom he had, 1 Alexander, his son and heir, and 2, Duncan, who purchased Ballachallan, whose son, George, married Mary Hume, daughter to Hary Hume of Argaty, by whom he had David, now of Balachallan, George, a surgeon in Maryland, James, William, and several daughters.
"John of Annat married secondly, Elizabeth Campbell, daughter to John Campbell of Kinlock, by whom he had 3. William, who purchased Craigtoun, William of Craigtoun had Alexander, his son and heir, Lieutenant James Stewart, and Robert. Alexander of Craigtoun married Katharine Drummond, daughter to Drummond-Erinoch, by whom he had James, who died a batchelor and several daughters.
"John of Annat had likewise by his second wife, 4 James Stewart, Lieutenant-Colonel to the Scots Regiment of Horse Guards and Deputy Governor of the Castle of Edinburgh, who had issue, [illegible] also 5 Charles, who had issue, 6 Captain Henry Stewart, and 7 Robert Stewart, a surgeon, who had issue."
Sometime around 1620, the Annat family complained to James Beag Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich, after he received a beneficial tack of Glenfinglas and portioned it among the principal branches of the Baldorran Stewarts, because he left out the Annat family. The dating makes it likely that it was Alexander Stewart, 1st of Annat, who complained about being left out of the Glenfinglas tack. The Annat family were then given a one-eighth share of Glenfinglas, which, from later accountings, would appear to have been the property of Auchnahard in Glenfinglas. It is not recorded who from Annat initially resided in Auchnahard, however since the Ardvorlich History claims that the later John Buidhe Mor was preceded by "a John or two" then it seems likely that the Auchnahard portion probably went first to John Stewart, future 2nd of Annat, while Alexander was still alive. It seems likely that John, future 2nd of Annat, likely held Auchnahard until his father's death, at which point he would have inherited the principal estate of Annat, to become John Stewart, 2nd of Annat, which would be when his natural son, John Buidhe Mor probably took possession of the tack in Glenfinglas.
John Stewart, 2nd of Annat is recorded in Stewarts of the South, Ardvorlich Section IX - "The Bains of Glenfinglas", as having had a natural son, by an unknown woman. His natural son was John Buidhe Mor Stewart, 1st in Auchnahard in Glenfinglas.
A copy of an Instrument of Sasine of the Estate of Annat dated 5th and recorded on the Register of Sasine for Perthshire on 29 May 1647 proceeding upon precept of Clare Constat by George Muschet of Burnbank in favour of John Stewart second of Annat as lawful son and heir of the said deceased Alexander Stewart first of Annat in liferent and Alexander Stewart thereof Annat his eldest son dated 3 May 1647.
The 1650 Valuation Roll for Kilmadock Parish lists John Stewart of Annat in possession of Annat and Nether Coilantowie.
