The Stewarts in Auchrig

Duncan Oag Stewart of Auchraig and Inchcallbeg

Duncan Oag STEWART of Auchraig and Inchcallbeg b: ABT 1600 in Ardvorlich, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. Duncan was the youngest son of Alexander Stewart, 1st of Ardvorlich. 

Duncan Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as being the patriarch of Branches 3 & 4 of the Stewarts of Ardvorlich. Duncan is described as:

“Duncan Brother to Major Stewart of Ardvorlich, Tacksman of Auchraig [in] Port Parish Monteith, then the property of Ardvorlich. His son Alexander whose offspring are called Sliochd Alastir Oaig.”

And also as:

“Duncan Oag of Ardvurlich, commonly called ‘Letter Stewart,’ Tacksman of Letter & Auchraig then belonging to Ardvurlich, Port Parish.”

“Oag” means “young”, as in “Young Duncan”.

Not in Glen Finglas

Duncan is recorded in The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Vols. 1 & 3 incorrectly as having been the first of this family to settle in Glen Finglas. In 1592, Duncan’s father, Alexander Stewart, 1st of Ardvorlich, conducted a cattle raid into Dryman in Stirlingshire. Court records list one of his accomplices as Duncan M’Alister Stewart in McGlenfinglas. The late John Stewart of Ardvorlich, author of The Stewarts of Ardvorlich, incorrectly identified this Duncan Mcallaster Steuart as being the son of Alexander Stewart, 1st of Ardvorlich, however this Duncan wasn’t yet born in 1592, so he could not have been his father’s accomplice. There is no record that this Duncan ever lived in Glen Finglas.

Uncomfortable Neighbours

Duncan held the lands of Auchraig and Inchalbeg near Lake Rusky in Menteith as tenant to his father. These lands are deep in the heart of Clan Graham country which must have made for a very uncomfortable holding after Duncan’s oldest brother, James Beag Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich, murdered James Graham, Lord Kilpont, and prompted the Grahams to swear a blood feud against the Stewarts of Ardvorlich.

Duncan’s testament is registered in the Dunblane Commissariat Records on 16 Nov 1632; “Stewart, Duncan, son to Alaster Stewart, in Ardvorlich.”

Duncan’s wife is unknown. Duncan is believed to have been father of:

1. 1. Alasdair Oig Stewart in Auchraig b: ABT 1630 in Glenfinglas, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland.
      1. His descendants are presented below.
   2. Duncan Oig Stewart in Letter and Auchraig, believed to be son of the preceding Duncan.  He is suggested as the patriarch of Ardvorlich IV Branch – Letter Stewarts.

Alasdair Oig Stewart in Auchraig

Alasdair Oig Stewart in Auchraig b: ABT 1630 in Auchraig, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland. Alexander was the son of Duncan Oag Stewart, shown above.

According to Stewarts of the South, Alexander Stewart was the patriarch of Branch 3 of the Stewarts of Ardvorlich. “Oig” is Gaelic for “young”, as in “Young Alexander.” Alexander was a witness to a bond by John Reidheugh of Wester Kerse to Janet Comrie, relict of William Stewart of Balemeanoch, and Alexander and Robert Stewart, their sons, for 1400 merks on 8 JUN 1650. (MacGregor, Gordon, Red Book of Scotland)

Alasdair is suggested as the father of:

1. 1. James? STEWART in Auchraig b: ABT 1655 in Auchraig, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland.  James first name is not confirmed but is suggested by onomastics only.
      1. Donald Dubh STEWART in Grodich b: ABT 1680 in Auchrig, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland.  Donald is described in Stewarts of the South as “Donald Dubh, late tacksman of Grodich, Glenfinglas.”
         1. James STEWART in Monbreachy b: ABT 1705 in Auchrig, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland. James’ information and descendants are presented below under 1 Line.
         2. Duncan STEWART in Lettir on Loch Katrine b: ABT 1720 in Auchrig, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland. Duncan’s information and descendants are presented below under 2 Line.
      2. Lieut. Alexander Grudairgorrach STEWART b: ABT 1690 in Perthshire, Scotland. Alexander’s information and descendants are presented below under 6 Line.
   2. Son2 (John?) STEWART b: ABT 1670 in Perthshire, Scotland. This son may be identical with his brother, Son1. This son is shown as a placeholder ancestor of Lines 3, 4 & 5 of the Stewarts of Auchrig. Stewarts of the South does not indicate how these branches descend from Alasdair Oig Stewart in Auchraig. They could descend from Alasdair’s son Son1, as do lines 1, 2 & 6, but they may descend separately.

1 Line – James Stewart in Monbreachy

Monbreachy (sometimes shown on maps as “Monievrechie”) is believed to derive from the Gaelic Monadh Bhreacaidh which means “speckled mount.”

NOTE: This family should not be confused with the similar family of James Mor Stewart, tenant in Grodich who moved to Monbreachy, who belonged to the Stewarts in Blairgarry (Gartnafuaran Branch II).

This line is described in Stewarts of the South as:

James Stewart, the lineal branch son to Donald Dubh, late tacksman of Grodich, Glenfinglas, was a tacksman of Monbreachy, port parish, [which is the] Duke of Montrose’s estate, Ld (Lordship) of Monteith – rent £250.  He has four sons:

1. Donald, who is a wright in Callander and has three sons who are all minors.
2. Alexander, who is a tacksman of Auchyle, Port parish.  He has four sons who are all minors.  Rent £60
3. Archibald, who is a cow feeder in Glasgow.  He has three sons who are all minors.
4. Charles, a natural son, is a sawyer in Callendar. He has four sons who are all minors.  He is the most active of this family.

The above James was a very sensible man and imparted but little of it to his family except to the natural son.

James Stewart in Monbreachy b: ABT 1705 in Auchrig, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland. James is described in Stewarts of the South as: “James Stewart, the lineal branch son to Donald Dubh, late tacksman of Grodich, Glenfinglas, was a tacksman of Monbreachy, port parish, [which is the] Duke of Montrose’s estate, Ld (Lordship) of Monteith – rent £250.” In the Appendix to Stewarts of the South, he is listed as: “Mr James Stewart, Tacksman of Monvrechy, of the Ardvorlich family, a decent, respectable and honourable character, but has kept all his activity to himself, except one natural son. £250. Duke of Montrose’s property.”  James had the following known children: (not matching births have been found for James’ children anywhere in Perthshire or Stirlingshire)

Rent £60.” In the Appendix to Stewarts of the South as: “Mr Alexander Stewart, his son (son of the preceding James Stewart), tenant in Auchyle, of the same family (Ardvolrich), very inferior to his father in point [of] activity and prudence, and a sottish coof. £60.

2 line – Duncan Stewart in Letter of Strathgartney

NOTE: This family should not be confused with the nearly identical Duncan Stewart in Ardcheanochdan from the Stewarts in Dallanlaggan (Glenbuckie Branch IX, Sliochd Gleanmagaolric.)

This family is described in Stewarts of the South as:

Duncan Stewart, was tacksman of Letter, Lochcathrineside, in Callendar parish, which is the estate of Perth.  He was brother to the above James (Line 1a above). His sons are:

1. John Stewart, is a subtenant of Toighbaid, Barony of Lendrick, Callander parish, which was once part of the Perth estate, but now belongs to Sir Patrick Murray of Auchtertyre. John is a bachelor.
2. Donald, his brother, is a cottager in Milton of Aberfoil. He has one son who is a minor.
3. David, who is a shepherd to his uncle James Stewart, has one son who is a minor.
4. Charles Stewart, a natural son, is a lotter at Old Kilpatrick, Dumbartonshire.  He has one son, who is a minor.

This Duncan Stewart may be the Duncan Stewart in Larg, Auchnahard and Ardcheanochdan who married Agnes Stewart.

This Duncan has not been identified in parish records. We account for his family as:

Duncan STEWART in Lettir on Loch Katrine b: ABT 1735 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland.  According to Stewarts of the South, “Duncan Stewart, was tacksman of Letter, Lochcathrineside, in Callendar parish, which is the estate of Perth. He was brother to the above James (Line 1a above).” Gordon MacGregor (Red Book of Scotland) lists only John, Donald, and David as children of this family, however it appears MacGregor may have confused them with the nearly identical contemporary family of Duncan Stewart in Ardcheanochdan. The two families are nearly identical.

1. 1. John STEWART in Toighbaid b: ABT 1775 in Letter of Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. John is described in Stewarts of the South as: “John Stewart, is a subtenant of Toighbaid, Barony of Lendrick, Callander parish, which was once part of the Perth estate, but now belongs to Sir Patrick Murray of Auchtertyre. John is a bachelor.” As this comment was written ca 1815 then it’s possible John could have married after 1815.
   2. Donald STEWART in Milton of Aberfoyle b: ABT 1780 in Letter of Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. Donald is described in Stewarts of the South as: “Donald, [John’s] brother, is a cottager in Milton of Aberfoil. He has one son who is a minor.”
   3. David STEWART b: ABT 1785 in Letter of Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. David is described in Stewarts of the South as: “David, who is a shepherd to his uncle James Stewart, has one son who is a minor.”

Duncan had the following natural son by an unknown woman:

1. 1.  Charles STEWART b: ABT 1792 in Letter in Menteith, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland. Charles is described in Stewarts of the South as: “Charles Stewart, a natural son, is a lotter at Old Kilpatrick, Dumbartonshire. He has one son, who is a minor.”

4 line – James Stewart in Coilantogle

This family is described in Stewarts of the South as:

Alexander Stewart, known by the name of Lord Glasgow at Callander where he has some houses. He was once a grocer in Glasgow. He is both ignorant and purse proud. He is son to James Stewart, late tenant of Cuilanleogale in Callander parish on the Earl of Murray’s estate. He has no family. He is cousin to James Ban, a man of different turn of mind.

James STEWART in Coilantogle b: ABT 1735 in Perthshire, Scotland. James is mentioned in the following reference in Stewarts of the South pertaining to his son, Alexander: “Alexander Stewart, known by the name of Lord Glasgow at Callander where he has some houses. He was once a grocer in Glasgow. He is both ignorant and purse proud. He is son to James Stewart, late tenant of Cuilanleogale in Callander parish on the Earl of Murray’s estate.”

He is cousin to James Ban Stewart*, a man of different turn of mind.”

* Alexander “Lord Glasgow” Stewart, above, is said to be the cousin of “James Ban.” This James Ban has not been identified. There is no James Ban Stewart mentioned in Stewarts of the South. He may be James Stewart, son of John Ban Mor Stewart, of the Bain Stewarts in Glen Finglas, connected as cousin through an as-yet unidentified maternal connection.

6 line – Lieutentant Alexander Grudairgorrach Stewart

“The Batty Brewer”

Stewarts of the South mistakenly numbers this family as 5 Line instead of 6 Line. This family is described in Stewarts of the South as:

James Stewart had an uncle Alexander Stewart, commonly called Grudairgorrach. He (Alexander) was a Lieutenant in Colonel Stewart Invernenty’s Regiment in the year 1745. He (James or Alexander?) left one son

1. 1. James who has two sons, who are slate quarriers on the Isle of Bute.  His two sons are:
      1. David, who has four sons who are minors.
      2. James, who has four sons who are minors.

This finishes Sliochd Alastair Oaig.

Lieut. Alexander Grudairgorrach STEWART b: ABT 1700 in Perthshire, Scotland. Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as follows: “James Stewart had an uncle Alexander Stewart, commonly called Grudairgorrach. He (Alexander) was a Lieutenant in Colonel Stewart Invernenty’s Regiment in the year 1745.”

Grudairgorrach means “The Batty Brewer.” Grudaire means “brewer” and gorrach means “demented.” To maintain the poetic alliteration of the original, we render that as “The Batty Brewer.”

Stewarts of the South gives no indication of where this line lived before the two grandsons moved to Bute. as such, we have been unable to identify them in records.

He was father of:

1. 1. James STEWART b: ABT 1730 in Perthshire, Scotland.  James is described in Stewarts of the South as: “James who has two sons, who are slate quarriers on the Isle of Bute.”
      1. David STEWART b: ABT 1765 in Perthshire, Scotland.  David is described in Stewarts of the South as a slate quarrier in Bute with four minor sons.
      2. James STEWART b: ABT 1770 in Perthshire, Scotland.  James is described in Stewarts of the South as being a slate quarrier in Bute with four minor sons.

1. James Stewart, born 4 Sep 1751, bap 8 Sep 1751

There are no births listed in the Callendar OPR in Grodich with a father named Donald.  Thus, though Donald may have owned Grodich he was either residing elsewhere when his children were born or none of his children are recorded in the Callander OPR. An excellent candidate for Donald Duibh Stewart in Grodich is:

Donald STEWART married on 31 DEC 1734 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland to Janet BUCHANAN b: ABT 1712 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland.  They had the following children:

1.  James STEWART b: 23 SEP 1735 in Trean of Leny, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland
