Notes - Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "John of Annat had likewise by his second wife... 7 Robert Stewart, a surgeon, who had issue." As he is spoken of in the past tense, it is presumed that Robert was dead by the time Duncan Stewart published his Historical and Genealogical Account of the Surname Stewart in 1739.
Robert was a surgeon and/or an apothecary in Doune. He was pursued by the Privy Council in 1690 for his participation in the Jacobite army at the battle of Killiecrankie in July 1689. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland)
Robert MAY be the progenitor of the later Stuarts of Rait. The chronology, location, onomastics and circumstances are an ideal match, however we have found no documentary evidence to support the connection, only circumstantial evidence. This is supported by a reference in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) in which it is stated that all the Stewart claimants for the estate of Glassingall claim descent from Capt. John Stewart (2nd) of Annat. The Stewarts of Rait were among the claimants.
