| Notes |
- The existence of this James Stewart was only discovered in 2021 by professional researcher, Gordon MacGregor, (The Red Book of Scotland.) Gordon discoverd documents proving that Walter Stewart, 3rd of Baldorran actually had two sons named James, one lawful and the other natural (illegitimate). This lawful son inherited and later sold Baldorran, while the natural one, resided in Port of Lochearn. The later Stewarts of Ardvorlich descend from the other James Stewart who was born illegitimate and was later legitmated.
"James Stewart entered into a bond with Colin Campbell of Glenorchy to pursue and capture Duncan Ladosach MacGregor and his sons Gregor, Malcolm and Duncan on 11 March 1551, and disponed what remaining rights he had to the lands of Balindoran in favour of Sir James Stewart of Doune on 28 December 1573. He was served heir to his father in the lands of Croftinderry and Innercreichan on 15 August 1575,4 and had Sasine for those lands on 13 December following, which he disponed to Henry Stewart, son of James Stewart of Doune, by charter dated 19 December 1576, in which he styled son and heir of the late Walter Stewart of Ballindoran." (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland)
Other records indicate that James sold Baldorran to the Glorat family. And Duncan Stewart's genealogy (1739) incorrectly indicates that it was his father, Walter, who sold Baldorran to William Livingston of Kilsyth ca. 1524. However, Gordon MacGregor's research in The Redbook of Scotland has uncovered the actual record of disponement to James Stewart of Doune. It seems more likely that it was James Stewart of Doune, not James Stewart of Baldorran, who sold Baldorran to the Glorat family.
