Notes |
- In the December 1956 issue of Stewart Clan Magazine, Thomas Stewart is shown as the husband of Margaret Stewart, daughter of Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich. Thomas' father is shown as Dugald Stewart who is listed in 1740 as receiving a land grant in Bladen County for 640 acres, in which he is listed immediately following Patrick Stewart of Ledcreich. Dugald is also listed as settling in Harnett County in 1740 (probably the same place.) (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, December 1956, vol. 34, no. 6, pp.177-179.)
In an earlier issue from June 1935, Stewart Clan Magazine incorrectly shows Thomas as the son of William Stewart, younger of Ledcrech in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. This earlier erroneous entry has led to speculation among many genealogists that Thomas Stewart was born in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. But no matching birth has been found in Balquhidder. It is more likely that Thomas was born in or near Achnachone in Argyll, Scotland. (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome C, June 1935, vol. xii, no. 12, pp.125-126)
