I thought you might be interested in the following information I foundin
Scottish Documents listing on the Internet regarding
Mary Bruce and Dugald Stewart
I have also found a will belonging to a John of Annfield from Scottish
Documents on the Internet. I purchased a copy of this will and have
extracted some information from it
"Stewart John 31/7/1760 of Annfield, esq., parish Torryburn St
Andrews Commissary Court"
Extract from John Stewart of Annfield Esq. Parish Torryburn - Dunblane
Commissionary Court 31 Jul 1760 - Inventory

There is also the mention of two other wills but not available for
downloading from Scottish Documents as yet.

Dunblane Commissary Court

There is also a family tree on Roots Web which describes a Mary Bruce anda
Dugold Stewart as having a son called John of Blairhall - The submitters
information is by a Peter Ibbotson. I am trying to see if I can find out
more information about his source.
