Notes - Robert is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Sliochd Sheun Rob 'ic Alastair Oig. Two brothers -- about three generations ago they came from Wester Invernenty in Balquhidder, formerly the property of the family of Gartnafuare...." Robert was known as "Sean Rob 'ic Alasdair Oig", which means "Old Rob, son of Young Alexander". This reference implies that Robert was born in Wester Invernenty in Balquhidder parish which property was held by the main branch of the Gartnafuaran Stewarts. He is described as coming to Duart in Glen Finglas "about three generations ago" from an entry written ca. 1815. This means he probably came to Duart somewhere around 1710-1720 which corresponds closely with the date of the death of his nephew Alexander Stewart, 2nd in Duart. It is believed that Alexander's young son either did not survive, or for some other reason did not inherit Duart. Robert would have been next in line and it is believed that this was the cause of his coming to Glen Finglas to settle in Duart. It is suggested that he is most likely the "Robert Stewart in Glenfinglas" who was one of the tutors to his brother's grandson, Alexander Stewart in Duart, in 1708 (see above). The fact that Robert may have been as old as 60 or 70 at the time of his arrival in Duart may be the source of his nickname, "Sean" ("Old").
Stewarts of the South shows four lines of male descendants from Robert, three of whom are described as "cousins". Chronology would suggest that they are most likely grandsons of Sean Rob, thus Sean Rob must have had at least three surviving sons. Robert's wife is unknown and his sons are not known for certain. They are merely inferred from the references in Stewarts of the South.
