• Notes

  Robert is believed to have been born 7 Nov 1625 in Ardvorlich, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, but Robert's baptism shown here is not confirmed. The original line of Ardvorlich only lasted for two more generations beyond Robert before the male line died out. The next few successions are confusing as there are several Robert Stewarts in close succession, which has resulted in differing published accountings. For these subsequent generations we are following Gordon MacGregor's, The Red Book of Scotland. The Murder of Lord Kilpont Robert was present on 1 September 1644 after the Battle of Tippermuir/Tibbermore in the camp of James Graham, Marquis of Montrose, when his father, James Beag Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich, murdered John Graham, Lord Kilpont. On 1 March 1645, Robert and his father, James, along with his uncle, Duncan McRobert Stewart in Balquhidder (2nd of Glen Ogle), his uncle, Andrew Stewart in Balquhidder (6th of Gartnafuaran), and his cousin Walter Stewart in Glenfinglas (son of Andrew Stewart, 6th of Gartnafuaran) were pardoned for the act of fleeing the scene of the murder. Duncan Stewart (1739) says: "Robert of Ardvorlich married Jean Drummond, daughter to Drummond of Comrie, by whom he had 1 James, 2 Alexander. Katharine married to David Drummond of Comrie, and Janet married to James Muschet of Mill of Goody." Robert Stewart, 3rd of Ardvorlich, is mentioned in the marriage contract of his daughter, Katherine Stewart, to David Drummond, 1st of Comrie, dated 12 January, 1683, in which she is styled as his eldest daughter. David Drummond and Katherine Stewart were second-cousins, both being descended from the John Drummond, 3rd of Drummond-Erinoch. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) According to family tradition in the Laggan branch, and confirmed by the previous laird of Ardvorlich (John Stewart, 14th of Ardvorlich), Robert Stewart, 3rd of Ardvorlich "went over the hill and had a natural son by an unknown woman." This natural son was Robert Stewart in Balmeanoch whose descendants lived (literally) "over the hill" in Laggan in Strathyre.
