Biography

Duncan Stewart is a member of Clan Stewart.

Duncan Stewart (2nd in Monachyle) was born about 1605 in Glenogle, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. He was the son of Duncan Stewart and Janet Stewart. ^[1]

Duncan is suggested as a younger son of Duncan MacRobert Stewart (3rd in Glenogle,). The birth of Duncan Stewart in Monachyle is nowhere documented and his placement here represents a considered opinion of the most likely connection based on current evidence.

Duncan is first recorded in the 1622 Bond: "Bond by Alexander Stewart in Ardvorlich, James Stewart, his eldest son, Alexander Stewart in Portnellan, Andrew Stewart of Blairgarrie, Duncan Stewart in Monochyle, Alexander Stewart in Glenogle, John Dow Stewart in Glenfinglas and Walter Stewart his brother german, for all their kin in Strathgartney and Balquhidder, to William, earl of Menteith. Dated in January of 1622."

The Monachyle branch are recorded in Stewarts of the South as being the senior (surviving) branch of the Glenogle Stewarts. We know that the main stem of Glenogle died out with John Stewart of Hyndfield, thus the Monachyle branch must be second in seniority. Therefore Duncan Stewart must branch off from the main Glenogle stem early enough to be an adult in 1622, but he must also descend from Robert Stewart, Predecessor of Glenogle. As we know that Robert Stewart, Predecessor of Glenogle, already had a son named Duncan McRobert Stewart, then Duncan in Monachyle is most likely a son of Duncan McRobert Stewart, 3rd in Glenogle.

Marriage

There is no record of a marriage.

Children

Duncan Stewart (2nd in Monachyle) is believed to have had the following children:

• 1. Duncan Stewart b: ABT 1628 in Monachyle, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. There is no evidence of the existence of a son named Duncan. Onomastics would favour that the eldest son of this family would be named "Duncan". No such Duncan has been found and thus it is presumed that if he existed then he probably died young.

• 2. Robert Stewart (3rd in Monachyle) b. ABT 1630 in Monachyle, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland.
