Research Note

In online genealogies this William Stewart, is often listed as the son of James Stewart, 5th Earl of Galloway, and his wife, Catherine Montgomerie.

This is highly unlikely, although they did have a son William, he was born about 1706 and definitely well before 1726, as his parents married in 1694. He was a Captain in the Dragoons and a Member of Parliament from 1741-1747. It is not quite clear when he died but it appears as if he may have died unmarried in 1748.

See The Scots Peerage, Vol. 4, p. 164, and the House of Parliament website.
