I'm of the opinion that this John Stewart-15366 has been mixed up with a different person. This shows him as 1st Earl of Atholl. Other places show him as 5th Earl of Atholl (which I believe to be correct). His father, John, was the 4th Earl of Atholl. Also, there was no son, James. It looks to me like John Stewart-8683 could be the most trusted version. There is a duplicate of it John Stewart-24499. Please review & consider a merge. Thanks, Bob Cole

Hi Allan, this is what I was referring to: Wikitree: Stewart-1555. He is part of the Scottish Study & connected to the Magna Carta Study.

I am unable to make any changes to these things. Regards, Bob

Stewart-15366 and Stewart-17174 appear to represent the same person because: same name, same spouses, same parents, same time frame, same source, same location
