| Notes |
- According to Duncan Stewart (1739), Walter was a Lieutenant and had children. Stewarts of the South shows Walter's son as John Stewart in Brig O' Turk.
Alison Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions reads: "Laedere Noli. Lieut. Walter Stewart, wife Agnes Stewart 8.1.1756, age 80, by son John, 1760." It is believed that the 1756 death is Agnes' and the 1760 reference is to the death of Walter.
Walter is mentioned in the following reference in Stewarts of the South:
"But the nearest of them in this country is one Walter Stewart, an unworthy person, [who] was son to John Stewart, [and] was [a] tacksman [of] Wester Bridge of Turk, [belonging to the] Earl [of] Murray [in] Callander parish. His grandfather, Walter Stewart, [was] son to Duncan Stewart, 12th of Glenbuckie (sic -- Stewarts of the South follows, but misunderstands the accounting of Duncan Stewart (1739). This is actually a reference to Duncan Stewart, 8th of Glenbuckie, who married Jean Graham of Duchray) [and Duncan's wife, who was] a daughter to Graham of Dochry (Duchray). He was, some years ago, turned out of that farm for some misconduct or other. His mother (sic. grandmother) was of Balchallan (Ballachallan). It was for the small crime of cutting an oak tree [that] he was turned out and he denied the charge, but it was proven and no argument would prevail with the Earl of Murray to let him stay because of not letting the truth. But other people were undermining him. He had one eighth of Glenfinglas. He is now a poor cottager -- a real contrast of his progenitors, which shows the uncertainty of human affairs. He has four sons."
Stewarts of the South records that Walter's son John married a daughter of Stewart of Ballachallan, but no such daughter can be found. However Walter's wife, Agnes, is a near exact match for a daughter of Duncan Stewart, 1st of Ballachallan. It is therefore suggested that Stewarts of the South was off by one generation and that it was actually Walter who married a Stewart of Ballachallan.
