• Notes

  Stewarts of the South describes John as: "John Bain Mor, late tenant at Auchnahard, Glenfinglas, left five sons." The Ardvorlich History notes that John Ban Mor did not reside in Auchnahard until sometime between 1744-1748. This was about the same time that his brother Alexander left Glen Finglas. It may also be the time their father died. John became head of the largest and most prosperous branch of Stewarts in Glenfinglas. They became known as the "Bains of Glenfinglas". (Bain is an Anglo corruption of 'ban' which means "fair haired".) John was the lead defendant in "The Glen Affair" (1755-1752) in which the tenants of Glen Finglas were in dispute with their landlord over unpaid rent. John Ban Mor was still alive in 1772 when the matter was resolved. The Ardvorlich History claims that shortly after 1860 "practically the whole tribe emigrated to Canada and settled in Ontario."
