• Notes

  John Graham Stewart is mentioned in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856): "John Graham Stewart residing at No 5 St Vincent Place, Glasgow is the oldest son of the late John Stewart, farmer Kippen." (1851) John is one of the unnamed sons of his father described in Stewarts of the South as "has four sons; one of them a surgeon in Glasgow, the rest at home - not this one a Writer the third a merchant in Glasgow, the fourth is home." The wording is confusing. It would appear that ca. 1820, three of John's sons were adults living in Glasgow, one a merchant, one a surgeon, and the other a writer (lawyer), and the fourth being a minor still residing at home. However we only have record of births for three sons. He is also mentioned in the testimony of Robert Stewart in Buchany from the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856): "Declared that he was personally acquainted with Alexander Stewart late tenant in Carse of Cambus who is now at Blairdrummond Moss and that he was also acquainted with his father James Stewart who was tenant in Carse of Cambus, and was buried in Kilmadock Churchyard in 1826. That he also knew John Stewart Merchant in Kippen, who was the brother of James last mentioned, and the father of Dr Stewart of Glasgow, and John Graham Stewart also in Glasgow. Declares that the father of John and James above mentioned was Hugh Stewart, who was first a tenant in Ballacaish, under Mr Stewart of Craigton, which adjoins Annat, and afterwards in Carse of Cambus, and that Hugh is also buried in Kilmdaock Churchyard. That Hugh Stewart was first married to Margaret Buchanan, who was the mother of John Stewart in Kippen, and second to Janet [Duncandow] who was the mother of Janet Stewart in Carse of Cambus. That Hugh Stewart was son of John Stewart tenant first in Ballacaish aforesaid, and afterwards in Lendrick which was one of the forfeited farms on the Perth estate." John Graham Stewart has not been found in later public records.
