• Notes

  Walter was a student of Divinity who had completed his studies, been licensed to preach, been presented to a congregation, and tragically died only a week before he was due to be ordained. Walter is described in Stewarts of the South as: "James [sic "Walter"], [who is] a minister who got a parish from the Earl of Moray in the North (that of Alloa) [sic "Alves"]; the first Stewarts that ever had a presentation from that family." The confusion in Stewarts of the South between Walter and James arises because Walter's brother James was also a student of Divinity who also died prior to ordination. Walter is described in the Fasti Ecclesia for Alves parish in the presbytery of Elgin as follows: "Walter Stuart, licensed by the Presbytery of Dunblane, a probationer resident in Edinburgh; was presented by Francis, Earl of Moray, before 3rd Nov. 1818. He died at Elgin, 27th April 1819, his ordination having been fixed for 6th May." Walter's burial is recorded in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions in Callander cemetery: "195 by Alexander STUART, in memory of (his) brother Walter, died at Elgin 27 APR 1819, age 23, and brother James (a student) in Divinity died (at) Bracklinn 29 APR 1822, age 25."
