The ABOVE is temporary utility I can track down all sources- it is one longer paragraph that I have broken down in points to use in the biography jf each can be verified; and ultimately the source from which I captured the image several years ago. Please pardon the construction as no plagiarism is intended nor will it be kept up long as again, these are not my words within the quotation marks- only I separated the sentences apart for making points.

Alexander Arbuthnot of Pitcarles and Andrew Arbuthnot have been attached as children to the profiles of Jean Stewart and James Arbuthnott, but both profiles are unsourced and there do not appear to be any reliable primary or secondary sources to support these children. If no sources can be found, they will need to be detached until there is evidence they belong in this family.
