Notes |
- Duncan Stewart (1739) refers to Robert Stewart of Glenogle, father of John Stewart of Hyndfield, as "from whom John Stewart of Hyndfield or Stronvar is the 5th in a lineal descent". Duncan Stewart's History, although published in 1739, was actually written in 1730, thus we can presume that Duncan Stewart had personal knowledge of John Stewart of Hyndfield.
Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, was descended on his mother's side from the Stewarts of Glenogle. In 1763, Patrick dictated his maternal family tree John Stewart of Hyndfield is shown as the son of Robert Stewart of Glenogle. John Stewart of Hyndfield would have been a first cousin to Patrick's mother. Stewart Clan Magazine reproduced Patrick's tree in graphic form in 1956 and commented that Patrick Stewart should be considered a reliable source of information on his own mother's ancestry. (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, December 1956, vol. 34, no. 6, pp.177-179)
The Ardvorlich History says (incorrectly) that John Stewart of Hyndfield was descended from John Stewart in Kirkton. (See entry John Stewart in Kirkton, above).
Stewarts of the South records that the Stewarts of Monachyle branch was the senior surviving branch in 1815, thus it is believed that John Stewart of Hyndfield was the last male of the original Glenogle family and that the male line died out with him.
John Stewart of Hyndfield is appears in the Balquhidder OPR as "John Stewart in Stronvar Mor" with his first wife, and then later as "John Stewart of Hyndfield" with his second and third wives. It is believed that John married firstly to Janet McNab, secondly to Jean Campbell, and thirdly to Janet Buchanan. John Stewart had children with his first two wives. There are no recorded children for his third marriage. As the male line of this family did not continue past John of Hyndfield, it is suggested that none of his sons survived.
