The Stewarts in Coille Mhor on Loch Lomond, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland

And Culgartmore in Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland

VI-Branch of the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran

The Stewarts in Coille Mhor are VI-Branch of the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran as accounted for in Stewarts of the South (c. 1815). While Stewarts of the South accounts for this family originating in Coille Mor, subsequent research has shown that they actually originat in Culgartmore in Drymen parish, Stirlingshire, Scotland. This family descends from Robert Stewart of Culgartmore, son of Alexander Stewart, 5th of Gartnafuaran, who was born at the outset of the 17th century.

Robert Stewart was a tacksman of the farm of Culgartmore in Drymen parish, Stirlingshire, Scotland, just southwest of the village of Gartmore. He had three sons — the eldest of which appear to have continued in the lands of Culgartmore, and the youngest, John, was granted a tack of Calziemore (Coille Mor) on the east shore of Loch Lomond. Their descendants continued on, or near, these lands into the 19th century when many of them migrated to nearby Glasgow City to become successful tradesmen and leaders in the trade union movement in Glasgow.

Ancestors of the Stewarts of Culgartmore and Coille Mor

The Stewarts of Culgartmore and Coille Mor are VI-Branch of the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran and descend from Robert Stewart in Culgartmore, younger son of Alexander Stewart, 5th of Gartnafuaran. The Stewarts of Gartnafuaran are the third principal family of the Stewarts of Balquhidder.

Descendants of the Stewats in Culgartmore and Coille Mor

The Stewarts in Culgartmore and Coille Mor have about nine lines of descendants as accounted for in Stewarts of the South (c. 1815). Stewarts of the South doesn’t number these descendant lines and does not indicate how they are related to each other. Line numbers have been added in order to facilitate reading. Future research may reveal that some of these lines are sibling lines and should be combined together. At present we account for the following descendant lines:

    • 1-Line: The Stewarts in Crachavie
    • 2-Line: Descendants of Alexander Stewart, Spirit dealer in Glasgow
    • 3-Line: The Family of James Stewart, the Watchmaker
    • 4-Line: The Stewarts in Arduil, Lochlomondside
    • 5-Line: The Stewarts in Chapellaroch
    • 6-Line: The Descendants of Charles Stewart, Saddler in Buchlyvie
    • 7-Line: John Stewart, Innkeeper in Dunbarton
    • 8-Line: Robert Stewart, tenant in Ardvorlich
    • 9-Line: James Stewart in Denny

These descendant lines are presented in detail below.

Coille Mor (Calziemore) and Culgartmore

In 1665, Robert Stewart in Culgartmore received a lease of the lands of Calziemore from Sir Colin Campbell of Aberuchill. The lease included the lands of Carrick, Corill, Claggan (Cragan), Calziemore, Rowardennan and Islandnadergan as well as the ferryboat rights across Loch Lomond at Rowardennan.

Stewarts of the South identifies this family as having owned three farms:

  • Coille Mhori on Loch Lomond in Buchanan parish
  • Blair Eagan (Eagal) in Aberfoyle parish
  • Glasschoile in Aberfoyle parish

Blair Eagal is located at the north tip of Loch Chon and Glasschoile is located on the south shore of Loch Katrine — both in Aberfoyle parish. Earlier documents tell us that John Stewart, 1st of Calziemore (Coille Mhori), was the son of Robert Stewart in Culgartmore. Culgart is located on the south shore of Loch Katrine, just west of Glasschoile and north of Blair Eagal.

Branch Sixth or what is called the Stewarts of Coille mhori, [in] Buchanan parish, [in] Stirlingshire, [on] Loch-Lomondside to whom belonged three farms now the property of the D[uke] of Montrose. viz (namely) Blair eagen and Glaischoil, both [of which are] in the parish of Aberfoil, [in the] Lordship of Menteith & [on the] D[uke] of Montrose’s property – with Coille mhoir and two other farms which they had free

Culgartmore means “Greater Culgart” indicating that Culgart had been divided into two farms: Culgartmore and Culgartbeg (“Lesser Culgart”). Culgart means “the woods by the enclosed field” — deriving from cuil (“woods”) and gart (“and enclosed field or garden”).

There is another Culgart (or Colegart) located in the northern part of present-day Drymen parish in Stirlingshire, Scotland, just south of Gartmore. Robert Stewart of Culgartmore likely resided at the one on Loch Katrine.

Stewarts of the South

Stewarts of the South, written c. 1815-1820, provides a lengthy, yet confusing description of this family. The author did not break this family down into lines, suggesting that he did not know the relationships among the various lines shown below. Line numbers have been added to facilitate readability. It’s possible that some lines shown separately below may represent brothers from the same family. Unfortunately, given the lack of line numbers and lack of identifying information, we cannot assume any relationship between the lines without additional evidence, other than the fact that they all share a common ancestor at some point.

Branch Sixth or what is called the Stewarts of Coille mhori, [in] Buchanan parish, [in] Stirlingshire, [on] Loch-Lomondside to whom belonged three farms now the property of the D[uke] of Montrose. viz (namely) Blair eagen and Claischoil (Glaschoil), both [of which are] in the parish of Aberfoil, [in the] Lordship of Menteith & [on the] D[uke] of Montrose’s property – with Coille mhoir and two other farms which they had free.

Descendant line descriptions from Stewarts of the South

(1-Line)

John Stewart late tacksman of Crochavie [in] Aberfoil parish, had four sons [who are] still in life viz (namely):

    1. Alexr, a wealthy cotton manufacturer in Glasgow [who] has no sons –
    2. Robt, his brother, [who is] a Clerk to the company Bridge of Johnston, [in] Renfrewshire. [He] has four sons

    4. John, a cattle dealer, who resides with his father, a cottar in Crochavie, and has a farm in Glenelig for which he pays £150 yearly rent.

(The fact that John Sr. is identified as deceased in the opening entry, yet still alive in his son John Jr’s entry may indicate that John Sr. died during the writing of Stewarts of the South and the author ammended the introductory comment “late tacksman…had four sons” to past-tense and forgot to ammend the present-tense language under John Jr’s entry.)

(2-Line)

Alexr Stewart, late spirit dealer in Glasgow, left two sons –

    1. Henry a clerk in Glasgow, [who is] the cleverest that we mentioned yet, if he had the balance wheel about him

This finishes the Coille more family.

Founding Family: Robert Stewart in Culgartmore

Robert Stewart, in Culgartmore, b. Abt 1605, Gartnafuaran, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland Find all individuals with events at this location, d. UNKNOWN.

Robert Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1605, presumably in Gartnafuaran, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, as a younger son of Alexander Stewart, 5th of Gartnafuaran, and Janet McGregor.

Robert Stewart is the founder of the Stewarts in Coille Mor and Culgartmrore (VI-Branch of the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran.)

Duncan Stewart, in his 1739 History of the Stewarts, identifies Robert as one of the sons of Alexander Stewart of Gartnafuaran, saying, “Alexander, who married Janet MacGrigor, by whom he had Andrew, Walter, Robert and Alexander.”

Robert Stewart resided at Culgartmore and is the patriarch of VI-Branch of the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran, whose son John acquired Coille Mor (Calziemore) on Loch Lomond in Buchanan parish in Stirlingshire, Scotland.

“Branch Sixth or what is called the Stewarts of Coille mhori, [in] Buchanan parish, [in] Stirlingshire, [on] Loch-Lomondside to whom belonged three farms now the property of the D[uke] of Montrose. viz (namely) Blair eagen and Claischoil (Glaschoil), both [of which are] in the parish of Aberfoil, [in the] Lordship of Menteith & [on the] D[uke] of Montrose’s property – with Coille mhoir and two other farms which they had free.”

Culgartmore is the larger farm on the Culgart estate which is located in the northern part of present-day Drymen parish in Stirlingshire, Scotland, just south of Gartmore. Culgartmore and Culgartbeg (Big and Little Culgart) and nearby Gartmore are listed as part of lands belonging to the Graham, Earl of Menteith.

In 1665, Robert Stewart in Culgartmore is cited in a disposition by Sir Colin Campbell of Aberuchill to John Stewart, identified as the third lawful son to Robert Stewart in Culgartmore, and his heirs and assignees for the 5 merkland of Calziemore, comprehending the lands of Carrick, Corill, Claggan, Calziemore, Rowardennan and pertinents, with the privilege of the ferry, ferryboat and office of ferrying at Rowardennan on Loch Lomond, with the island called Islandnadergan (Ellan in Derraghan), to be held of Sir Colin Campbell for the payment of the yearly feu duty of 70 merks scots and £60 for the entry of each heir. Dated 14th May, 1665. (source: MacGregor, Gordon, author of the Red Book of Scotland, personal correspondence.)

This disposition tells us that Robert’s third son was granted the lands and ferry rights at Coille Mor and Rowardennan on Loch Lomond. It also suggests that one or both of Robert’s older two sons inherited Culgart and/or nearby lands. This is born out by the large number of descendants of this branch who are recorded in Stewarts of the South (c. 1815) as residing near Culgart in Back Borland, Auchalty, and Chappellaroch, indicating that these families likely descend from the elder two sons of Robert Stewart in Culgartmore.

We do not know the names of Robert Stewart’s older two sons, nor do we know how many sons he had and how many survived, however his eldest may have been named Alexander after his father. The proliferation of the name Andrew among later descendants hints that his second son may have been named Andrew.

(Note: Robert Stewart was previously identified as Rob Dubh Mor Stewart, patriarch of III-Branch of the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran. Rob Dubh Mor Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as being “a son of Gartnafuaran” and residing at Ardchullarie in Strathyre, not far from Gartnafuaran in Balquhidder parish. This is no longer believed to be the case.)

Robert Stewart’s wife is unknown. He was the father of:

1. Alexander? Stewart, in Culgartmore, b. Abt 1630, Culgartmore, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland, d. UNKNOWN

Alexander? Stewart, in Culgartmore, b. Abt 1630, Culgartmore, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland Find all individuals with events at this location, d. UNKNOWN.

Alexander? Stewart’s name is not known for certain and is thus shown with a question mark. He is estimated to have been born about 1630 presumably at his father’s home of Culgartmore, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland.

In a disposition dated 14 May 1665 between Robert Stewart in Culgartmore 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.

It would be customary for the eldest son to inherit his father’s major estate which is presumed to be Culgartmore. It would be customary to name that son after the father’s father which, in this case, would be Alexander Stewart.

Alexander? Stewart may be the ancestor of some of the descendant lines below.

2. Andrew? Stewart, in Culgartmore, b. Abt 1635, Culgartmore, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland, d. UNKNOWN

John Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1640, presumably in Culgartmore, Aberfoyle, Perthshire, Scotland, as the third surviving son of Robert Stewart in Culgartmore. No record of his exact birth exists as his birth pre-dates public baptismal records.

John Stewart is the only son of Robert Stewart in Culgartmore for whom we have any documented information.

In 1655, John Stewart, through his father, was granted the lands of Calziemore (Coille Mor) near Rowardennan on the east shore of Loch Lomond in Buchanan parish, Stirlingshire, Scotland. His property included the lands of Carrick, Corill, Claggan, Calziemore, Rowardennan and Islandnadergan, and also included the ferryboat rights across Loch Lomond at Rowardennan.

Gordon MacGregor, author of The Red Book of Scotland, says, “John Stewart of Calziemore, had a disposition from Sir Colin Campbell of Aberuchill for the lands of Calziemore, with the ferry at Rowardennan on Loch Lomond, on 14 May 1655 and in which he is styled third son of his father. He was father of Robert Stewart of Calziemore.” (personal correspondence) If so, then this John would most certainly be the progenitor of Gartnafuaran VI Branch from Stewarts of the South, namely the Stewarts of Coille Mhor (Calziemore) on Loch Lomond, as there was only one Stewart family in Calziemore in Stewarts of the South.

John Stewarts rights to Calziemore and surrounding lands were renewed in 1701.

On 15 Dec 1701, John Stewart of Calziemore and his eldest son, Robert Stewart, were named as cautioners to Duncan Buchanan in Sallachie.

11 Dec 1708, they were again named as cautioners for James Stewart in Auchnahard.

On 21 Oct 1710, Robert Stewart was named in a sasine for Calziemore as the heir of John Stewart of Calziemore, suggesting that John Stewart had recently died.

John Stewart had one documented son but may have had other children whose names have not been recorded.

Robert Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1670, presumably in Calziemore, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland, as the eldest son of John Stewart, 1st of Calziemore. His mother is unknown. No record of his exact birth exists as his birth pre-dates parish baptismal records.

In 1710, Robert Stewart married Marjory Buchanan, daughter of John Buchanan of Auchmar. They had four documented children and possibly more.

On 21 Oct 1710, Robert Stewart inherited the lands of Calziemore after the death of his father.

Gordon MacGregor, author of The Red Book of Scotland, says, “Robert Stewart of Calziemore, was infeft in the lands of Calziemore as heir to his father on 21 October 1710, which he disponed to Colin Buchannan (his brother-in-law), brother of William Buchannan of Auchmar, on 2 December 1717.”

According to the Clan Buchanan newsletter, Jan 2021:

“Other historical documents discovered refer to the marriage of a daughter of William Buchanan of Auchmar to a Robert Stewarl of Calziemore or Colliemore in 1710. In 1717 Robert Stewart re-signs Calziemore to Coline Buchanan, brother of William of Auchmar. Calziemore is an area on the eastem bank of Loch Lomond. The eastern shore of Loch Lomond is known as the Buchanan. In 1726 Coline Buchanan resigns Calziemore to Reverend John McAlpine, eldest lawful son of Donald McAlpine of Ross.”

Sasines and other deeds from that era (cited below) indicate that Robert Stewart, 2nd of Calziemore, did not resign all of his rights to Calziemore to his brother-in-law, Colin Buchanan.

Robert Stewart married in 1710 Marjory Buchanan, of Auchmar, b. 18 Dec 1680, Auchmar, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland Find all individuals with events at this location,   d. UNKNOWN. They had the following children:

John Stewart was born 31 Oct 1717 in Calziemore, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland as the only documented son of Robert Stewart and Marjory Buchanan.

John Stewart, may be the progenitor of one of more of the descendant lines of Branch VI – The Stewarts in Coille Mor as accounted for in Stewarts of the South. It is unclear which lines may descend from this John Stewart and which lines may descend from his great-uncles, the elder sons of Robert Stewart in Culgartmore.

Stewarts of the South (c. 1815), says only the following about the origins of this family:

Branch Sixth or what is called the Stewarts of Coille mhori, [in] Buchanan “parish, [in] Stirlingshire, [on] Loch-Lomondside to whom belonged three farms now the property of the D[uke] of Montrose. viz (namely) Blair eagen and Claischoil (Glaschoil), both [of which are] in the parish of Aberfoil, [in the] Lordship of Menteith & [on the] D[uke] of Montrose’s property – with Coille mhoir and two other farms which they had free.”

It is not known if John Stewart married, and, if so, to whom, nor if he had children.

The descendent lines below descend from the family of the Stewarts in Culgartmore and Calziemore shown above, either from:

  • the eldest son of Robert Stewart in Culgartmore (whose name may have been Alexander);
  • the second son of Robert Stewart in Culgartmore (whose name may have been Andrew);
  • John Stewart, 1st of Calziemore, through his son Robert Stewart, 2nd of Calziemore, or through other potentially undocumented sons;
  • John Stewart in Calziemore, son of Robert Stewart, 2nd of Calziemore;
  • Other potentially undocumented sons of Robert Stewart, 2nd of Calziemore.

Buchanan of Auchmar

Robert Stewart, 2nd of Calziemore, married Marjory Buchanan, daughter of John Buchanan, 5th of Auchmar. As these families would have been allied, it is worth having a look at the family of John Buchanan, 5th of Auchmar:

John Buchanan, 5th of Auchmar, succeeded his father and m. at Buchanan on 15 July, 1666, to Anna, daughter of John Graham, of Duchray. They had the following children:

    1. William Buchanan, 6th of Auchmar.
    2. Colin Buchanan (to whom Robert Stewart in Calziemore resigned some of the rights of Calziemore)
    3. Patrick Buchanan, baptized at Buchanan on 8 June, 1683.
    4. Margaret Buchanan, baptized at Buchanan on 13 June, 1667, and m. at Buchanan on 16 April, 1686, to Robert Graham, of Glenny.
    5. Jean Buchanan, baptized at Buchanan on 5 March, 1678.
    6. Marjory Buchanan, baptized at Buchanan on 18 December, 1680.
    7. Catherine Buchanan, m. firstly to George Buchanan, of the Auchlessie family, and secondly to Andrew Stewart, of Townhead of Drymen. (Possibly from this family or from the Stewarts of Garchell.)
    8. A daughter, m. to Robert Stewart of Calliemore.
    9. Elizabeth Buchanan, m. at Buchanan on 21 August, 1711, to George McFarlane, in Drymen.

(Source: MacGregor, Gordon, Red Book of Scotland, 4th ed.)

Buchanan parish records reveal that daughter #6 Marjory Buchanan and daughter #8 who married Robert Stewart of Calliemore are the same person.

Andrew Stewart of Townhead of Drymen could be a grandson of one of the older sons of Robert Stewart in Culgartmore, above, or he may belong to the neighbouring Stewarts of Garchell.

DESCENDANT LINES

1-Line – Stewarts in Crachavie

The first line of descendants of the Stewarts in Coille Mor and Culgartmore is a family who lived in Crachavie, just south of the west end of Loch Venachar in Aberfoyle parish, in historic Perthshire, Scotland (present-day Stirling Council Area). The earliest identifiable ancestor of this family is John Stewart, a tacksman of Crachavie.

John Stewart late tacksman of Crochavie [in] Aberfoil parish, had four sons [who are] still in life viz (namely):

    1. Alexr, a wealthy cotton manufacturer in Glasgow [who] has no sons –
    2. Robt, his brother, [who is] a Clerk to the company Bridge of Johnston, [in] Renfrewshire. [He] has four sons
    3. James, [a] Mercht (merchant) [in] Cronstad, Russia, who has four or five sons, two of which are boarded at Callander at their education there
    4. John, a cattle dealer, who resides with his father, a cottar in Crochavie, and has a farm in Glenelig for which he pays £150 yearly rent.

(The fact that John Sr. is identified as deceased in the opening entry, yet still alive in his son John Jr’s entry may indicate that John Sr. died during the writing of Stewarts of the South and the author ammended the introductory comment “late tacksman…had four sons” to past-tense and forgot to ammend the present-tense language under John Jr’s entry.)

    1. Henry a clerk in Glasgow, [who is] the cleverest that we mentioned yet, if he had the balance wheel about him
    2. David, [who is] in the Army

3-Line – James Stewart, The Watchmaker

Jas (James) Stewart, formerly a watchmaker in Glasgow, who now lives in a private way upon his money which he acquired by his wife, amounting to between 15 and 20 thousand pounds. He was more fortunate than active.

Mrs Stewart of Milton:

“Walter Frangich was probably related to Walter in Edralechan as I understand he was a cousin of my mother’s. James of this family was a clockmaker in Glasgow.

Walter Frangich Stewart has been identified as b. 8 May 1777 in Auchnahard, son of Donald Stewart in Grodich, son of James Stewart, 9th of Gartnafuaran. He would be a cousin to this line.

James Stewart, Watchmaker

James Stewart is listed as clockmaker in Trongate, Glasgow 1778-1799. There is a Robert Stewart, clockmaker, in Trongate, Glasgow in 1841. The two of them are featured together in an article in a clock-making magazine from the 1980s, but only the index is available on-line so I can get no further details. I would suggest that Robert is likely the son of James however I have not been able to identify either of them in any census or parish records.

If James Stewart (Sr) was apprenticing with James Leckie in 1778 then we can suggest a birth date for James Stewart ca. 1755-60.  This would make him the perfect age to have a son, John in 1786 and possibly sons Robert and Allan about the same time.  No trace of Allan can be found in census records and Robert is not found post-1841, suggesting that they may have died with no evidence of sons.

4-Line – Stewarts in Arduil

Duncan Stewart in Arduil and Agnes McFarlane

This family begins with Duncan Stewart in Arduil who descends by unknown means from one of the sons of Robert Stewart in Culgartmore, shown further above.

Duncan Stewart, in Arduil,   b. Abt 1740, Auchilty, Drymen, Stirling, Scotland Find all individuals with events at this location,   d. Bef 1796. 

Duncan Stewart is estimated to have been born about 1740 probably in a croft on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond in Buchanan parish, Stirlingshire, Scotland. However, no record of his birth has been found and his exact date and place of birth are unknown. His parents are unknown, but it is likely that his father’s name was John.

Duncan Stewart married on 4 Apr 1771 in Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland to Agnes McFarlane. Their marriage was registered secondly on 13 Apr 1771 in Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland. Duncan Stewart was residing at Auchalty in Drymen parish (just south of Gartmore) at the time.

“13 April – Duncan Stewart in Achaltie in this parish & Agnes McFarlan, lawful daughter to Andrew McFarlan in Sallachie in Buchanan parish listed for proclamation of Banns in Order to Marriage, and being duly proclaimed were married.” (Drymen Parish Register)

On 14 Jan 1772, Duncan Stewart and Agnes McFarlane had a son, John, born in Arduil, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland. Arduil is located on the southeast shore of Loch Lomond. This was their only recorded child. It is possible that they may have had other children whose baptisms were not recorded. No record of a prior or subsequent marriage has been found for either Duncan Stewart or Agnes McFarlane.

Duncan Stewart’s only known son, John Stewart, is identified in Stewarts of the South as belonging to 4-Line of the Stewarts of Coille Mor on Lochlomondside. Coille Mor is located just 3 km north of Arduil.

It is possible that Duncan Stewart could be a son of John Stewart, son of Robert Stewart, 2nd of Calziemore, but without further evidence it is impossible to say for certain.

Duncan Stewart’s date and place of death are unknown. He was recorded as deceased at the time of his son John’s marriage in 1796.

John Stewart, Master Shoemaker in Drymen,   b. 14 Jan 1772, Arduil, Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland Find all individuals with events at this location,   d. UNKNOWN.

John Stewart was born 14 Jan 1772 in Arduil on the east shore of Loch Lomond in Buchanan parish, Stirlingshire, Scotland, as the only recorded child of Duncan Stewart and Agnes McFarlane (shown above).

“14 Jan 1772, Buchanan parish — Duncan Stewart and Agnes McFarlane, spouses in Arduil, had a lawful son baptized called John.” (Buchanan Parish Register)

John Stewart was a master shoemaker in the Village of Drymen where he and his wife, Mary Battison, raised a family of ten children. He was described flatteringly by a contemporary biographer as a stout, able, valiant and friendly character.

John Stewart is identified in Stewarts of the South (c. 1815-1820) as belonging to the Stewarts in Coille Mhor in Buchanan, Stirlingshire, Scotland. He is described in the main body of the document as:

“James (sic, John) Stewart, [a] shoemaker [in the] village of Drymen [in] Stirlingshire, has five sons under age. [He is] a clever active man.”

He is incorrectly named as “James.” The author mistakenly repeated the name James from the previous entry. John’s name is shown correctly in the Stewarts of the South Appendix for Drymen parish as:

“15. Mr John Stewart, shoemaker and tenant [in] Drymen, of the Gartnafuaran family, a stout, able, valiant and friendly [character], [pays] £20 [annual rent].”

John Stewart married on 10 Dec 1796 in Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland to Mary Battison, daughter of Andrew Battison and Margaret Stewart (daughter of James Stewart in Blaircrioch, from 1-Line of the Stewarts in Lianach of Glenbuckie).

“John Stewart, son to Duncan Stewart, late in Arduil, Buchanan Parish and Ma… [original is damaged]… Andrew Battison in… [damaged]… for Proclamation of Banns… [damaged].” (Balquhidder Parish Register)

Following the traditional naming custom, John Stewart and Mary Battison named their first son after John’s father, Duncan Stewart, their second son after Mary’s father, Andrew Battison, their third son after John himself. They named their first daughter after Mary’s mother, Margaret Battison (nee Stewart), their second daughter after Mary herself, and their third daughter after John’s mother, Agnes Stewart (nee McFarlane).

John Stewart is identified as a shoemaker in the death record of his son James in 1880 and as a master shoemaker in the death record of his son George in 1883.

John Stewart’s date of death is unknown. He is presumed to have died in Drymen Village, Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, but no record of his death or burial has been found.

Duncan Stewart was born 2 Jan 1798 in Drymen Village, Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland as the eldest son of John Stewart and Mary Battison. He was named after his paternal grandfather, Duncan Stewart.

He was likely still alive in 1815 as Stewarts of the South, c. 1815, says that five of John Stewart’s six sons were living. It does not indicate which ones.

In 1841, Andrew Stewart was residing at Ken-ma-hame in Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his wife and children. He was employed as an agriculatural labourer. Ken-ma-hame has not been found on maps and is presumed to be a residence in Drymen Village.

In 1851, Andrew’s widow, Jane Stewart, was residing at Main Street in Balfron Village, Balfron, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with her children. She is listed as an agricultural labourer’s widow and a winder of cotton yarn.

In 1861, at age 4, Robert Stewart was residing at 4 Bolton St in Tradeston, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland with his parents and brothers.

In 1871, at age 14, Robert Stewart was residing at 29 Bolton St in Tradeston, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, with his parents and siblings. His employment is listed as “point grender” on Ancestry’s transcription, which is clearly a transcription error, but I cannot figure out what it’s supposed to say. The original image has not been viewed.

Sometime around 1879, Robert Stewart is presumed to have married to Margaret Rennie, although no record of their marriage has been found.

In 1881, at age 24, Robert Stewart was residing at 20 Tower Street in Kinning Park, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, with his wife and their two young sons. Robert was employed as a joiner.

In 1891, at age 34, Robert Stewart was residing at 26 Tower Street in Kinning Park, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, with his wife and children. He was employed as a joiner. Also residing with them was his 75-year-old widowed mother, Helen Stewart.

In 1901, at age 44, Robert Stewart was residing at 15 Rutland Cres in Kinning Park, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, with his wife and children. He was employed as the Director of the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society.

In Sept 1932, Sir Robert Stewart, J.P., retired as chairman of the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society, Ltd., in succession to Sir Robert Stewart, J.P., who retires under the age limit in September.

Duncan Stewart in Paddoch-Ha

Stewarts of the South contains the following entry in the Appendix:

I forgot to mention to you that Charles Stewart, [the] saddler in Buchlive (sic), had a brother called Duncan Stewart, [who was a] tenant of Paddock-ha’ in Erskine of Cardross’ estate, [in] Port [of Menteith] Parish, whose wife is a widow in the Parish of Gargonock, and has six or seven sons, some of them come to manhood, and some under age, all doing well, and scattered in service over the country.

The author has erred in his recollection of these brothers. Duncan Stewart in Paddock-Ha (Puddockhall) was the brother of Charles Stewart in Garkechnie, not Charles Stewart, saddler in Buchlyvie.

    “Sasine to Andrew Stewart, eldest lawful son of James Stewart of Blairgarry, for the lands of Blairgarry to which Andrew Stewart in Chapel of Lanrick is bailie, and which lands had previously been held by the now deceased Andrew Stewart of Blairgarry, father of the said James.” Dated 20 December, 1656. RS51/4/f.131r (National Archives of Scotland).

    Writs c/o Gordon:

    1. Disposition by Sir Colin Campbell of Aberuchill to John Stewart, third lawful son to Robert Stewart in Culgartmore, his heirs and assignees of the 5 merk land of Calziemore, comprehending the lands of Carrick, Corill, Claggan (Cragan), Calziemore, Rowardennan and pertinents with the privilege of the ferry, ferryboat and office of ferrying at Rowardennan on Loch Lomond, with the island called Islandnadergan, to be held of Sir Colin Campbell for the payment of the yearly feu duty of 70 merks scots and �60 for the entry of each heir. Dated 14th May, 1665.
    2. Bond by John Stewart of Calziemore to Sir Colin Campbell of Aberuchill for £377 bearing annuity. Dated 13 September, 1701.
    3. Extract bond by John Stewart of Calziemore as principal and Robert Stewart, his eldest son, as cautioner, to Duncan Buchanan in Sallachie for 800 merks with annualrent and penalty. Dated 15 Dec 1701.
    4. Discharge and assignation by John Stewart of Calziemore as principal and Robert Stewart, his eldest son, as cautioner, to John Stewart, lawful son to the deceased James Stewart in Auchnahard for 400 merks scots. Dated 11 December, 1708.
    5. Instrument of sasine in favour of Robert Stewart as heir to his father John Stewart, of the 5 merk land of Calziemore following on precept. Dated 21 Oct 1710.
    6. Disposition by Robert Stewart of Calziemore in favour of Colin Buchanan, brother german to William Buchanan of Auchmar of the 5 merk land of Calziemore, containing procuratory of resignation and precept of sasine. Dated 2 December, 1717.
    7. Disposition by Mr John McAlpine, minister at New Tarbet, with consent of Mary Robison, his spouse, to James Stewart of Gartnafoure, his heirs and assignees, of the 5 merk land of Calziemore. Containing procuratory of resignation and precept of sasine. Dated 26 February, 1742.
    8. Instrument of sasine in favour of James Stewart of Gartnafoure, his heirs and assignees, of the 5 merk land of Calziemore following on precept. Dated 26 May, 1742.
    9. Extract disposition by James Stewart of Gartnafoure to Gilbert McAlpine, drover in Achallader in liferent, and John McAlpine, his eldest lawful son, his heirs and assignees in fee, providing that it shall be lawful to Gilbert McAlpine at any time in his life to sell and dispose of the said lands without consent of John McAlpine, his son, of the 5 merk land of Calziemore. Containing procuratory of resignation and precept of sasine. Dated 28 January, 1747.
    10. Disposition by Colin Buchanan, with consent of Robert Stewart of Calziemore, to Mr John McAlpine, eldest lawful son of Donald McAlpine of Ross, of the 5 merk land of Calziemore. Containing procuratory of resignation and precept of sasine. Dated 25 January, 1726.

    The above Mr John MacAlpine was the Minister at New Tarbet who disponed the same 5 merk lands of Calziemuk to James Stewart of Gartnaferan in 1742.

    Robert Stewart, therefore, did not renounce or dispone all his rights to these lands to Colin Buchannan in 1717.

    Upon further inspection on my notes, I notice that a daughter of John Buchanan, 5th of Auchmar, married to Robert Stewart of Calziemore, and another to an Andrew Stewart in Drymen who appears in numerous documents including many receipts by himself for the “watchmoney” to Gregor MacGregor of Glengyle.

    John Buchanan, 5th of Auchmar, succeeded his father and m. at Buchanan on 15 July, 1666, to Anna, daughter of John Graham, of Duchray, (c/d 10 July, 1666). He was father of,

    1. William Buchanan, 6th of Auchmar, (see below).

    2. Colin Buchanan who, with his brother William Buchanan of Auchmar, granted a Bond of Relief to John Gibson, Writer in Edinburgh, on 15 May, 1727. He, m. to Anna, daughter of James Hamilton, of Aikenhead, and had issue.

    3. Patrick Buchanan, c. at Buchanan on 8 June, 1683.

    4. Margaret Buchanan, c. at Buchanan on 13 June, 1667, and m. at Buchanan on 16 April, 1686, to Robert Graham, of Glenny.

    5. Jean Buchanan, c. at Buchanan on 5 March, 1678.

    6. Marjory Buchanan, c. at Buchanan on 18 December, 1680.

    7. Catherine Buchanan, m. firstly to George Buchanan, of the Auchlessie family, and secondly to Andrew Stewart, of Townhead of Drymen. (possibly from this family, but more likely from the Stewarts of Garchell)

    8. A daughter, m. to Robert Stewart, of Calliemore.

    9. Elizabeth Buchanan, m. at Buchanan on 21 August, 1711, to George McFarlane, in Drymen.

    The links of James Stewart, 9th and last of Gartnafuaran, to Blairgarry and to Colliemore are very suggestive. Dates run as follows:

    1725-31: James’ elder children born in Gartnafuaran.
    1742: Acquires Colliemore on Loch Lomond from McAlpines.
    1743: Son Robert born “in Blairgarrie”.
    1745: Appears to return Colliemore to McAlpines.
    1747: Son Malcolm born in Blairgarrie.

    If James Stewart’s father Alexander Stewart had a beneficial tack of Blairgarry before 1723 (as Jared showed us from the Buchanan Genealogy) that would explain why his son James went there to live after selling Gartnafuaran. – Belinda

    It seems probable then, that Robert Stewart in Culgartmore was a younger son of one of the Stewarts of Gartnaferan. Given that his third son John Stewart of Calziemore was of age in 1665, it would not be improbable for Robert’s birth to be estimated at being around 1610ish and his being a son of either Walter or Alexander Stewart of Gartnaferan.

    With chronology of other family members in mind, I would opt for Alexander as being the father of Robert and it is also worth noting that Alexander S. of G.’s wife Janet MacGregor is said to be of the Clann Dougal keir who were settled at that point in time principally at Glengyle and the surrounding area over to Loch Lomondside. – Gordon
