• Notes

  William is recorded as having fought in the 1715 Jacobite uprising. William later moved to South Sheils, Durham, England where he was employed as supervisor of the duties of salt. The Caledonian Mercury, 22 January, 1754 contains the following entry: "Whereas William Stewart, Supervisor of the Duties upon Salt at South-Shiells, in the County of Durham in England, brother-german of the deceast Robert Stewart of Ardvorlich, and Tutor by Law to Robert Stewart now of Ardvorlich, his newphew, has granted a factory to James Moir, Writer in Down, for managing his said nephew's affairs, and uplifting the rents of Ardvorlich, &c. and has also named certain Commissioners in Scotland for giving directions to the Factor as to the management of his said nephew's affairs; and whereas it is necessary that the extent of the debts affecting the estate of Ardvorlich be known: the Commissioners desire the cretitors to lodge their claims with James Hay, Writer to the Signer, Old Assembly-close, Edinburgh, or Thomas Drummond of Deanstoun at Deanstoun near Down, or the said James Moir; and to let their Ground of Debt be seen to any one of the persons above named on or before the 15th day of February 1754, so as a proper course may be concerted for their payment."
