Notes |
- Duncan Stewart (1739) says "Robert, from whom John Stewart of Hyndfield, or Stronvar is the 5th in a lineal descent". As Duncan Stewart wrote his history in 1730, nine years before it was eventually published, and at the same time as said John Stewart was actually in possession of Hyndfield, we should reasonably presume that Duncan's source was John Stewart in Hyndfield himself. We should have confidence that John Stewart would know his own ancestry, and thus we are confident that Robert Stewart was indeed the lineal male ancestor of John Stewart of Hyndfield.
The Ardvorlich History does not show Robert at all and incorrectly shows Robert's brother, John Stewart in Kirkton, as the ancestor of the Glenogle Stewarts.
Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, shows the Stewarts of Glenogle and Hyndfield descending from Robert's brother, Duncan MacAlasdair Stewart in Carnlea.
In 1763, Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, shows his maternal ancestors, the Stewarts of Glenogle, originating with Robert Stewart of Glenogle, younger son of Alexander Stewart of Gartnafuaran. (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, December 1956, vol. 34, no. 6, pp.177-179.)
