Notes |
- John's existence is uncertain. He is inferred from the following baptismal record in which it is suggested that he may be the "John Stewart in Annat" witnessing the baptism. No other contemporary John Stewart has been identified who could be this mystery witness. The fact that Archibald Stewart in Annat was the son of a John Stewart makes it likely that he would have had a brother named John Stewart. No other evidence has been found to support the existence of this John.
Register of Baptisms 5 June 1712 "[Archibald] son to John Stewart and Isabel McFarlane in Ballacaish wit. John Stewart and Archibald Stewart in Annat." (Extracted from the Parish Records of Kilmadock.)
If correct, then there are multiple candidates for the possible birth of this John, most obviously:
Johne Stewart, born 18/10/1646 in Kilmadock parish, son of Johne Stewart.
Johne Stewart, born 16/8/1646 in Kilmadock parish, son of Johne Stewart.
