• Notes

  William Stewart is presumed to have married about 1770 to Margaret Stewart, however no record of their marriage has been found. They had four children while residing in Doune and nearby Muirhead of Deanston in Kilmadock parish, Perthshire, Scotland. They disappear from records after this point. No family has been found in Stewarts of the South (ca. 1815-1820) that matches their discription, suggesting that the family was no longer residing in the area by that point. They may have imigrated or died out in the male line prior to the writing of Stewarts of the South. William's birth, as shown here, is not confirmed but is a perfect circumstantial match. His eldest son was named Robert and his second daughter was named Jean. Traditional naming custom would suggest that his parents' names should be Robert and Jean Stewart. An exact match for a William Stewart, son of Robert Stewart and Jean McFarlane can be found in the Callander parish records as shown below. William's son, William's baptism was witnessed by John and Alexander Stewart, both in Auchinard (Auchnahard in Glen Finglas in Callander parish). As baptism witnesses were often close family members, this would suggest that William's birth family was associated with one of the many Stewart families located in Glen Finglas. The birth family shown here for William had their first child in Duart in Glen Finglas, thus supporting the possible connection to Auchnahard. As such, the birth family for William, while not proven, matches all known evidence and no competing or better match has been found. --- Likely birth: (Callander OPR) 19 Mar 1725, 21 Mar 1725, Christian, daughter of Robert STUART and Jein MCFARLAN in Duart 6 Nov 1729, 6 Nov 1729, Elizabeth, daughter of Robert STEWART and Jean MCFFARLAN in Blairgary 17 Jun 1732, 22 Jun 1732, Jean, daughter of Robert STEWART and Jean MCFARLANEin Blairgarry 5 Jun 1736, 9 Jun 1736, William, son of Robert STUART and Jean MCFARLANE in Wester Bridge of Turk.
