| Notes |
- Duncan's parents are unknown. This Duncan Stewart's name is inferred from his son's reference in Stewarts of the South, in which his son is referred to as "Duncan Og Stewart." "Og" is Gaelic for "young" which implies that Duncan Og Stewart was the son of an "Old Duncan" Stewart. Thus this Duncan is named "Sean Duncan" which means "Old Duncan". "Sean" is not a personal name here (ie. "Shawn") but is the Gaelic word for "old" (pronounced "shen").
Sean Duncan's son, Duncan Og, is recorded in Stewarts of the South as being the patriarch of Branch IX of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie and as descending from the family of Glenbuckie by unknown means. This family's connection to the Stewarts of Glenbuckie is confirmed by Y-700 DNA test.
Unfortunately Stewarts of the South gives us no indication as to how this family grafts onto the main trunk of the Stewarts of Glenbuckie. It only says that they are descended from the Stewarts of Glenbuckie. The earliest identifiable ancestor of this branch is "Old Duncan" Stewart (or "Sean Duncan" Stewart in Gaelic) as we have identified him below. He was likely born sometime around 1670, probably in Balquhidder parish, and probably at Dallanlaggan, where it is suspected his family probably resided from their conception. We may never be able to figure out just how this branch descends from the Stewarts of Glenbuckie without further information coming to light but the most likely persons from whom Old Duncan Stewart in Dallanlaggan might descend would be:
A younger one of the 11 illegitimate sons of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie
Duncan Stewart, son of Patrick Stewart, 1st of Ledcreich
Duncan Stewart son of Duncan Stewart, 3rd Glenbuckie
We presently prefer the first option. Branch VIII and Branch X are both said to descend from earlier illegitimate branchs. Branch X specifies its descent from one of the eleven illegitimate sons of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie. It's likely that Branch VIII descends from one of Patrick's elder illegitimate sons. As such it would seem most likely that Branch IX descends from one of Patrick's middle illegitimate sons. Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie, lived and had sons during the mid-16th century. As such there is likely at least 100-130 years of intervening generations missing; probably 4-6 generations.
