| Notes |
- Walter Stewart's date of birth is estimated based on the facts that he received lands in his own name in 1498 and 1500, and based on the estimated dates of birth for the children of his father's first marriage. Walter's place of birth is not known, but is presumed to be the family estate of Baldorran.
"Walter Stewart, 3rd of Baldorran, was a son by his father’s second marriage and is so-styled when included in a charter by Robert Menzies of Comrie for the lands of Emmercrutage and Croftinderry in favour of William Stewart and Mariote Campbell for the duration of their lives and to their son, Walter, for the duration of his own life dated at Lochtay on 5 October 1498. He had a charter for the lands of Duchlas, in the Earldom of Lennox, from his father on 14 September 1500 and was witness to a charter by Sir Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy for the lands of Schian in favour of his brother John Campbell of Auchreoch on 16 April 1513." (MacGregor)
Duncan Stewart (1739) says:
"Walter Stewart of Baldorran, obtained from King James IV a Charter of Confirmation of the lands of Duchlass, dated at Faulkland, 14th of September, 1500. This Walter sold Baldorran to William Livingston of Kilsyth about the year 1524 [sic - It was his son James who sold Baldorran], and after that was designed sometimes Baldorran and sometimes of Balquhidder, he being King's Baillie there. He purchased from Janet Oquhanan [Buchanan], a wadset-right she had upon some lands in Strathyre in the shire of Perth, as appears by a charter in his favours of the said lands, dated in 1528. He died in the year 1575 [sic - MacGregor has uncovered evidence that he died in 1546], or some short time before it, in the Faith and Peace of Queen Mary, as the writ bears. He married Eupham Reddoch, daughter to James Reddoch, Burgess of Stirling, Comptroller of Scotland, and Laird of Cultibragan, by whom he had issue, William and John. To William, he gave the lands of Duchlass in Dumbartonshire, which is confirmed by a charter under the Great Seal in 1545. He provides the estate of Duchlass to the heirs-male of his son, William's body, which failing, to John Stewart, his son also, but it seems they both died without issue. Walter had [illegible] wife a natural son, James, who was legitimated under the Great Seal in 1555, and the father is then alive, for he is designed simply, Filius natural Walter Stewart, de Baldorran."
Walter married Euphemia, daughter of James Reidheugh, 1st of Tulliechettill, with whom he had a charter for the lands of Islanwragan from Janet, daughter and heiress of David Oquhanie, with consent of Charles Campbell, her eldest son and heir, on 18 July 1528, (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland)
