| Notes |
- Alexander Stewart is believed to have been born about 1618 in Culgartmore, on the south shore of Loch Katrine in Aberfoyle parish, Perthshire, Scotland, as a son of Robert Stewart in Culgartmore and an unidentified mother.
Alexander Stewart's identity is not confirmed. He is believed to be the Alexander Stewart in Lurg named as a witness to the baptism of John Stewart, son of John Stewart in Arrochiebeg. John Stewart in Arrochiebeg is believed to be Alexander's brother who later acquired Calziemore. 29/05/1653 "Jo’n Stewart in arrochenerg (Arrochiebeg?) And Jonet Mcfarland, son baptized called Jo’n. Witnesses Allex’r and Robert Stewarts in Lurgue." (Buchanan Parish Register) (Lurg is next to Callimore)
In a disposition dated 14 May 1665 between Robert Stewart in Culgartmore (Alexander's father) and Sir Colin Campbell of Aberuchill, Robert is said to have had three lawful sons, the third of which was John Stewart, who received the lands of Calziemore (Callie Mor) on Loch Lommond. His elder two sons are not named, however, we would expect Robert's eldest son to be named Alexander after his paternal grandfather, Alexander Stewart, 5th of Gartnafuaran.
