| Notes |
- Charles Stewart of Ballachallan is not confirmed to be a son of George Stewart, 2nd of Ballachallan. Charles is not listed in Duncan Stewart (1739) which is hard to understand as he would have been a contemporary. Charles is found in a list from Stewart Clan Magazine of Jacobites apprehended between 1745 and 1748, in which he is identified as "Charles Stewart of Ballachallan."
David B. Morris, in his 1929 book Robert Louis Stevenson and the Scottish Highlanders, says: "Major David Stewart of Ballochallan was found hiding in the Braes of Leny, near Callander and were discovered by Government troops who overpowered them and took them to the garrison at Stirling Castle where Major David Stewart died of his wounds. Two of his brothers Doctor Stewart and William Stewart left for Annapolis (Maryland) Virginia." This book also refers to Charles Stewart of Ballochallan being listed as a person found guilty of treason in 1747 and also excepted from the General Act of Pardon.
Morris has confused two families. The Maj. David Stewart of Ballachallan who was captured at Leny was not the brother of Docter Stewart and William Stewart of this Ballachallan family. Maj. David was the son of James Stewart, 4th of Ardvorlich. So, while both David and Charles were denominated "of Ballachallan" they were actually from two different families.
No further record has been found for this Charles. As he is designated as being "of" Ballachallan, rather than "in" Ballachallan then attaching him to this family is preferred for now, but his relationship is not confirmed. As Charles is not found in any other records and is listed as being found guilty of treason and excepted from pardon, it is presumed that he was executed in 1747.
