Notes - Robert Stewart was born 29 Jan 1810 in Ballaird, Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, as the son of James Stewart and Helen McEwan. "James Stewart, wright in Balaird and Helen McEwan his wife had a son born 29th Janry and Bap’d 4 Febry, n’d Robt." (Drymen Parish Register)

Robert Stewart has not been confidently identified in the 1841 census. He is believed to have been residing in Barony, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, where his son, Andrew, was born, but there are too many possible matches to confirm which one is him. His wife, Margaret, and their infant son, Andrew, were residing with Margaret's father, Andrew Morrison, in Tomachar, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland in 1841. No such place has been found and is likely to be an error for either Tomnagarrow or Treuchan. Treuchan is preferred as it is on the Gartmore estate where their next child was born in 1843.
In 1851, at age 40, Robert Stewart was residing at Back Borland, Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his wife and children, along with his 81-year-old father-in-law, Andrew Morrison. Robert was employed as a farmer of 200 acres, employing one labourer.

In 1861, at age 51, Robert Stewart was residing at Tombane, Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his wife and children. He was employed as a carter.
In 1871, at age 60, Robert Stewart was residing at Tombane, Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his wife and daughter, Agnes, and his 5-year-old grandson, Robert. He was employed as an agricultural labourer.
On 19 Aug 1773, Robert Stewart in Tombane was the certified as the executor for the estate of his uncle, John Stewart in Cashley Mill, who died intestate on 13 Aug 1870 at Cashley Mill, Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland.
