Notes |
- Duncan Stewart (1739), says the following:
"Patrick married, first, a daughter of Lecky of that Ilk, secondly, he married a daughter to Edmonstron of Broich. He had twelve sons that came to maturity, but died himself without issue, only the eldest left a daughter...."
He later says, "Alexander Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie, who married _____ Stewart, grand-daughter to the foresaid Patrick...."
From this we can interpret that Patrick Stewart's only lawful descendant who outlived him was his granddaughter by his eldest son. We know he had an illegitimate son, Walter, who outlived him. But the rest of his lawful sons and grandchildren must have died before him or else they would have inherited Glenbuckie. Instead we see Glenbuckie passing latterally to Patrick's younger brother, Duncan, who became 3rd of Glenbuckie.
In 1586, there is a Bond of Manrent between Alexander Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie and what appears to be several of his kin to Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy, for the murder of John MacOlchallum Comrie. The sons of Alexander are easily identifiable in the list of names, as is Walter Stewart, natural son of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie. The remainder are James Stewart in Glenfinglas and his three sons and "Johne Dow Stewart, son to Patrik Stewart in Dallielaggane." Dallanlaggan was the principal residence in Glen Buckie, thus it would appear that "Patrik Stewart in Dallielaggane" is Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie. And Johne Dow is his son. Thus it would appear that Johne Dow Stewart in Dallanlaggan and James Stewart in Glenfinglas are both two of the previously unknown sons of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie. Scottish naming custom would suggest that Patrick would have named his eldest son, John, after his own father, thus it is suggested that Johne Dow Stewart is Patrick's eldest son, and that he was the father of the daughter who married her cousin, Alexander Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie, noted above. If she was the only surviving lawful descendant of Patrick Stewart, this marriage makes sense to unite the two lines of Glenbuckie from brothers Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie, and Duncan Stewart, 3rd of Glenbuckie.
