• Notes

  Balquhidder OPR gives probable birth entry for Robert: Alexander (or John) Steuart in Dalveich had a child baptized and called Robert. (Date given is Nobr 1697, but no day.) We have two conflicting transcriptions of this entry, however a review would favour that Alexander is the correct reading. Robert is shown in the Comrie OPR as living in Ardveich when his son John was born. Family tradition in the branch of his Canadian great-grandchild, Duncan Stewart, recalls that Robert was killed at the Battle of Culloden. Such a claim is supported by the fact that Robert and Mary appear to have stopped having children after 1744. If Robert died at Culloden and left his widow with a houseful of young children, then she likely would have either remarried or been taken in by a close relative. Further research is needed to see if a second family can be identified for her.
