- According to Duncan Stewart (1739) Alexander Stewart, 1st of Annat, married a daughter of MacNab of Aucharn.
Clan MacNab records indicate that there were two families of MacNab in Acharn. The later family was established by Patrick Dow Mor MacNab in 1568 after the demise of the earlier MacNab of Acharn family. The daughter who married Alexander Stewart of Annat would have predated the second MacNab of Acharn family and would necessarily belong to the first family. All that is known of the earlier Acharn family is:
Archibald MacNab 1st of Acharn (First family) (b.ca 1500 d bef 1568)
1. Donald MacNab 2nd of Acharn (First family) (b ca 1525, a1568, d bef 1573)
2. John Bane McGillespie MacNab 3rd of Acharn (First Family) (a1573, b ca 1530) m Isobel MacFarlane,
1. Daughter? b ca 1565
Based on chronology and the fact that "Donald" does not appear as forename among the Annat Stewarts, which John and Archibald both do, as does John Bane, it is suggested that the wife of Annat was most likely the daughter of John Bane McGillespic MacNab of Acharn.
"On 28 July 1553 Donald Macnab, son of Archibald Macnab in Acharn, was in possession of Acharn. On 18 April 1568 John Bane McGillespie Macnab married Isobel MacFarlane, `mayer´ of Patrick Dow Mor; and on 12 November 1573 John Bane was sued by Finlay (10th Chief) and on 12 October 1574 by Finlay´s brother and successor, Alexander Macnab of Macnab (11th Chief) for the rents of Sleoch and Acharn. Alexander´s younger son, Patrick Dow More, then succeeded to the two merk land of Acharn and the twenty-shilling94 land of Sleicht (Sleoh), of which John Bane McGillespie had received a tack95 on 18 April 1568. This had been surrendered to Patrick and on 15 April 1605 Gilbert succeeded his father in this tack."
