Notes |
- Gordon MacGregor (The Red Book of Scotland) lists this Dugald as first in his chapter on the Stewarts of Achancone, but he does not enumerate him as "1st" of Achnacone. Earlier, in his chapter on the Stewarts of Appin, he shows Dugald Stewart, 1st of Achnacone, as being a younger son of Allan Stewart, 3rd of Appin. It is chronologically impossible for them to be the same Dugald Stewart as they lived about 75 years apart. There must be at least one, if not possibly two, intervening generations between them. Presumably this is why MacGregor does not enumerate the later Achnacone Stewarts, but merely refers to them as "of Achnacone."
Stewart & Stewart (The Stewarts of Appin, 1880) lament that the Achnacone family papers have been lost so the intervening generations are unknown. MacGregor has succeeded in filling in some of those missing generations from other sources.
