| Notes |
- Alexander Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1775, probably in Coirriechrombie in Lower Strathyre, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. He is believed to be a younger son of Alexander Stewart and Christian King, although no record of his birth has been found.
Alexander Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as:
"Alexander Stewart, [who is also a] cow-feeder in Glasgow [and has] one son who is an English Rider and [is] doing well."
It is not known if Alexander's son was born in Callander or Glasgow.
It is not known what the author meant by "English Rider." It's not clear if the author was refering to a style of riding or that Alexander's son lived in England. The distinction between English and Western styles of horse riding is largely a North American description which emerged later in the 19th century.
