Baptisms

The text of William Stewart's baptism record has no identifying mother's name but could well be in the sequence of baptisms of children of Robert Stewart and Agnes Boniman.

Agnes Boniman, therefore, may be the mother of Arthur, Margaret and Robert Stewart. The Inveravon parish registers hold no records for the period before 1630 when they were probably born.

It is, of course, possible that there was a wife of Robert Stewart before his marriage to Agnes and that only the younger children are the offspring of Agnes Boniman, or it may simply be that the baptisms of the older children were not recorded in the parish records and that all of the children are children of Agnes Boniman. ^{2 3}
