Notes - John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "John Stewart, late innkeeper [at] Easter Bridge of Turk [on the] Earl of Moray's property, [in] Callander parish [at the] foot of Glenfinglas. [He was] formerly a soldier and pensioner, [and] left two sons, [namely] James, [an] innkeeper [in] Callendar who has one son Alexander, [a] crofter, under McFarlane of Coillechra [in] Callendar parish and on Loch Catherineside who has also one son." John is shown as one of four grandsons of Sean Rob, but his relationship to the other grandsons is not indicated. He could be a brother or cousin of some of them, or an illegitimate brother of any of them. The simplest relationship is shown for now in the absence of evidence.
John's marriage is incorrectly recorded in the IGI. The marriage as shown here is from Malcolm Gray's transcriptions. John is recorded as "in Aberfoyle parish" and Mary as "in this parish" (Callander). The marriage and children shown here are not confirmed. Whether John's suggested wife, Mary McFarlane was related to Hugh McFarlane of Coillachra has not been determined. (See side note above for information on McFarlane of Coillachra.)
If we have correctly accounted for this branch then John's eldest son's name is incorrectly recorded in Stewarts of the South as "James" instead of "John".
