Notes |
- Duncan Stewart (1739) says "Robert Stewart, ancestor of Hyndfield" is recorded as having signed the 1654 Bond of Keltney Burn along with the heads of all the other Stewart houses in Balquhidder, Athol, and Appin swearing tacit allegiance to King Charles II.
In 1763, Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, dictated his maternal family tree through the Stewarts of Glenogle. In that tree, the father of (Capt.) Duncan Stewart of Glenogle is shown as blank. Stewart Clan Magazine reproduced the 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.)
This Robert is believed to be the "Robert Stewart in Achanlachoylithie" who on 3 JUN 1657 obtained a sasine for the lands of Glenogle, Auchanlachoylithie, and Balanluig for £1000 Scots.
The Ardvorlich History lists a Robert Stewart in Glenogle in 1645, however it must be acknowledged that this reference could be a reference to the 1654 Bond of Keltney Burn with the last two digits transposed. As The Ardvorlich History does not mention it's source, then there is no way to know for sure.
