• Notes

  This Walter is believed to be the Walter Dubh Mor Stewart who died with his two sons in the service of Montrose at the Battle of Kilsyth, 15 AUG 1645. Onomastics would suggest that he should be the oldest son, but by his premature death without surviving heirs the estate of Gartnafuaran would have passed to his brother, Andrew. Walter is mentioned in Stewarts of the South: "Although they are the last, I think they ought to be the second, at least. In general, they are something like to the family of Ardvorlich, not altogether valiant as the Glenbuckie family, but more of a Low country nature. The only distinguished character known to me of this family was one "Walter-du-mor" ("Big Black Walter") who [along] with his two sons was killed at the battle of Kilsyth, [although] some say, however, that they were killed at the battle of "Bodle brig" (Battle of Bothwell Bridge, 22 June 1679), which was certainly not the case." This Walter is likely the "Walter Stewart in Glenfinglas" cited on 1 MAR 1645 in the Parliamentary Pardon of Maj. James Beag Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich, for Ardvorlich's murder of Lord Kilpont at the Battle of Tibbermuir.
