| Notes |
- James Stewart in Glenfinglas is recorded in The Ardvorlich History as "the first person of the name of Stewart actually settled in Glenfinglas." He is mentioned in 1575 in the special Retour of his cousin, James Stewart of Baldofran (Baldorran), in the lands of Emyrcrethan and Croftintarry in Glenfinglas. (Their exact locations are unknown.)
James is next mentioned in a Bond of Manrent from 1586 to Duncan Campbell of Glenorchey for the murder of John Macolchallum Comrie, along with several of James' brothers and first-cousins. He is also listed with the following sons:
1. Johne,
2. Duncane and
3. Alester Stewartis
Duncan Stewart (1739), says the following in reference to James' father, Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie:
"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...."
We know Patrick had an illegitimate son, Walter, who outlived him. But the rest of his lawful sons and grandchildren (save one granddaughter who married her cousin, Alexander Stewart, 4th of Glenbuckie) 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, we have the afformentioned 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. This would seem to indicate that all the persons named in the bond are sons or grandsons of either Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie, or his brother, Duncan Stewart, 3rd of Glenbuckie. As such, we suggest that James Stewart in Glenfinglas must be from the same family and would be another one of the previously unidentified sons of Patrick Stewart, 2nd of Glenbuckie. As Patrick and Duncan would have been in their 70s at this time, it would appear that they did not take part in the murder of John MacOlchallum Comrie.
