• Notes

  John is described in Stewarts of the South as going by the nickname of "Iain Mor a Bhuntata" which means "Big John of the Potatoes" -- presumably he grew potatoes on his farm. He is recorded in Stewarts of the South as being "lately in Dallinlaggan", thus he died before 1815, and as also having one (surviving) son, Alexander, a spirit dealer in Edinburgh. As John probably would have named his first son Robert then it is safe to suggest that John probably had a son prior to Alexander who died young. An excellent OPR match can be found with the following family. It is suggested that John married on 12 JAN 1765 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Catharine Stewart (with John of Balquhidder and Catharine of Callander parish). Catharine's birth family is not known, but nomastics would suggest that her father's name was Alexander Stewart.
