Notes - John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "One of [Walter nan Cliugh Stewart's] descendants was commonly called by the name of Iain du na Stroain ("Black John of Stroan" or Sron, meaning "a nose shaped peak or promontory") [a] tacksman of Sroin [on] Lochcatherinside [in] Callander parish [on] Drummond of Perth's estate. He was [a] Lieutenant in [the] Duke of Perth's Regt [in] the year [17]45. He was feuer of Balmenoch ("middle farmtown") in Glenbuckie, which he sold to [the Glenbuckie] family after [17]45, as all his goods were destroyed. Perhaps no clan could boast of an honester friendlier man than this was."
Stroain (also spelled Sron, Sroan, Stron, Stroan, Stroine, Strowan, etc.) is recorded on present-day maps as Strone and is located exactly 1 km west of Edraleachdach on the north shore of Loch Katrine in Strathgarntey, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. It is suggested that John du na Stroan is the John Stewart shown in the Callander OPR as residing in "Stronganaltrie" -- which is recorded elsewhere in the Callander OPR as just "Stron" and is transcribed in Mitchell's MIs as "Strongalbuthee" and may be a corruption or transcription error for "Stron Gartney", that is, "Stron in Strathgartney". The children shown in the Callander OPR for John Stewart in Stranganaltry match very closely with the description of the children of John's given in Stewarts of the South. They also fit onomastically with this line.
