General Notes:
"The Stuarts of Inchbreck and Laithers, Aberdeenshire, are descended from Andrew Stewart of Laurencekirk in the Mearns, great-grandson of Murdoch, Duke of Albany, the grandson of Robert II. David Stewart the son of Andrew, was the first of Inchbreck, in 1547. He had a son, John, whose great grandson, William Stuart of Inchbreck, married Margaret the heiress both of David Guthrie of Kair and of Henry Guthrie of Halkerton. They had two sons,
John Stuart, who succeeded to Inchbreck, and James Stuart who joined Prince Charles Edward in 1745, and after the Battle of Culloden took refuge in France, where he entered the French service."
