- Stewarts of the South says, (Ardvorlich Branch IV: Stewarts in Letter) "John Stewart, tacksman of Broich, on Sir John McGregor's estate of Lendrick, Down parish. He has three sons employed on the farm." The Stewarts of the South Appendix for Doune parish says, "John Stewart, tenant [in] Broich, Ardvorlich family, an industrious [and] keen man, in Sir John McGregor-Murray's Estate."
There is no family matching the description of "John Stewart, tenant [in] Broich, Ardvorlich family, an industrious [and] keen man, in Sir John McGregor-Murray's Estate." The only family in the Kilmadock OPR shown residing in Broich is the following:
Robert STUART/STEWART and Isabella STUART/STEWART in Broich m 27 DEC 1736 in Port of Menteith
1. Elisabeth STEWART, bap 2 APR 1738 in Broich, Witt. James STUART in Daldorn and John STUART in Deanstoun
2. Isobell STEWART, bap 23 MAR 1740 in Broich, Witt. John STUART in Deanstoun and John Lennox in Doolet
3. Katherine STEWART, bap 06 FEB 1743 in Nether Broich, Witt. John Henderson and Robert McUlloch in Broich
4. Isobell STEWART, bap 14 JAN 1744 in Broich, Witt. Rot McCulloch and Arch McGibbon there (OPR gives father as Robert Muschet sic, however there is no other such couple in the OPR)
5. John STEWART, bap 17 MAR 1745 in Nether Broich, Witt. John STUART at Bridge End of Doun and James STUART in Daldorn
6. Alexander STEWART, bap 17 NOV 1751 in Broich, Witt. Will. Greig and Alexr. McGruther in Doun
7. Jannet STEWART, bap 24 NOV 1754 in Broich, Witt. John Henderson and Gilbert Bo---- there
Alexander STEWART (above) and May BAXTER in Broich
1. Agnes STEWART, bap 14 APR 1776 in Broich, Witt. ----- Murdoch Lanrick and Alexr Murdoch
2. Robert STEWART, bap 10 MAY 1778 in Broich, Witt. Robert Stewart and William Murdoch both in Broich
3. Child STEWART, bap 26 Jun 1791 in Lendrick, Witt. Peter McGregor and James Gow Jr. both at Lendrick (Parents: Alexander Stewart and Mary illegible -- McLachlane at Milton of Cambus?)
The John Stewart b 1745 above would fit chronologically with the John Stewart in Broich described in Stewarts of the South above, however no matching children can be found for him. The family of Alexander Stewart and Mary Baxter is found having children in Broich at the time. Could Stewarts of the South have made a mistake on the name of John Stewart or were John's children baptised elsewhere or not recorded? As the family above represents the only Stewarts in Broich then it would seem this must be the right family. What seems most likely is that John lived elsewhere when he had his children and then later returned to Broich by the time that Stewarts of the South was written, ca. 1815-1820.
Since we cannot be certain how to interpret Stewarts of the South as yet then this information is currently being left here as merely a research lead in hopes that further information may come to light.
