Notes - John is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Dr John Stewart, Minister of Luss [on] Lochlomondside. He cannot be called a bad man, but has a good deal of unsociable pride, which no minister should have, as their doctrine is humility and charity, which many of them preach and fewer practice. Dr Stewart hath one son Joseph."
John is described in the Fasti Ecclesia Volume 3, for the parish of Luss in Dunbarton: "JOHN STUART, born 31st July 1743, son of James S., min. of Killin ; licen. by Presb. of Edinburgh 27th Feb. 1771; ord. to Arrochar 12th May 1774 ; trans, to Weem 2nd May 1776 ; pres. by Sir James Colquhoun of Luss, Bart., Nov. 1776 ; trans, and adm. 27th Aug. 1777; D.D. (Glasgow 1795); died 24th May 1821. For translating the Old Testament into Gaelic, he received a grant from the Treasury of £1000, and the thanks of the General Assembly. He marr. 24th July 1792 (sic), Susan (whom he had baptized in infancy, died 7th June 1846), daugh. of Joseph McIntyre, D.D., min. of Glenorchy, and had issue -- Elizabeth, born 9th Dec. 1793 (marr.
