- Doug Hickling suggests:
" I want to suggest that you revise your listing of John (Sir) (of
Ardgowan) Stewart, whose daughter Margaret married Duncan (Sir) Campbelland became the mother of Colin (Sir) (1st of Glenurchy) Campbell. Youcorrectly show that Sir John's father was Robert III (John) Stewart, Kingof Scotland, but the authorities say that John (Sir) was the naturalchild of the king and his mother's identity is unknown.
THE SCOTS PEERAGE volume 1, at 331, refers to John (Sir) Stewart ofArdgowan as a "natural son of King Robert III."
Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr., in his article ROYAL BYE-BLOWSIII--ILLEGITIMATE DESCENDANTS OF THE SCOTTISH KINGS TO JAMES VI, NEHGR,October 1968, at 265, lists both James Stewart of Kilbride and John (Sir)Stewart of Auchingowan and Ardgowan as "known bastards" of King RobertIII.
Alastair Campbell of Airds in his A HISTORY OF CLAN CAMPBELL, VOLUME I,at 121, says that John (Sir) was a "natural son" of King Robert III.Brian Tompsett agrees. He shows only a father for John (Sir) and doesnot include him in the list of children of King Robert III and his spouseAnnabella Drummond. Considering that the fact of his illegitimacy is sowidely recognized, I think it really strange that so
few gedcoms on RootsWeb have picked it up."
