Alexander Stewart married to Margaret DRUMMOND, daughter of John Drummond 3rd of Drummonderinoch. Alexander and Margaret had the following children:

   Has Children Janet STEWART , of Ardvorlich b: ABT 1580 in Ardvorlich, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland.  Janet is shown in Duncan Stewart's 1739 History of the Stewarts as having married Duncan Stewart of Glenogle.  There was only one Duncan of Glenogle who would be contemporary with Janet.  Thus we show that Janet STEWART married Duncan McRobert STEWART, 3rd in Glenogle. 

       Their descendants are presented on the Glenogle page.

   Has Children Isabel STEWART , of Ardvorlich b: ABT 1585 in Ardvorlich, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland.  Isabel married to her second-cousin, John Stewart, 6th of Glenbuckie.

       Their descendants are presented on the Glenbuckie Page.

   Has Children James Beag STEWART , 2nd of Ardvorlich b: ABT OCT 1589 in Lady's Loch on Ben Vorlich, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland.  His information and descendants are presented below.

   Has No Children "John" STEWART b: ABT 1591 in Ardvorlich, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland.  There is no documentary evidence that such a John existed, however onomastic evidence would suggest that Alexander and Margaret would have had a second son named John who, if he existed at all, presumably died as a child.

   Has No Children "Alexander" STEWART b: ABT 1593 in Ardvorlich, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland.  There is no documentary evidence that such an Alexander existed, however onomastic evidence would suggest that Alexander and Margaret would have had a third son named Alexander who, if he existed at all, presumably died as a child.

   Has Children William STEWART , 1st of Balimeanach b: ABT 1595 in Ardvorlich, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland.  William's information and descendants are presented below.  The descendants of William later became the principal line of Ardvorlich after the line of James Beag died out.  The present laird of Ardvorlich is descended from this line.

   Has Children Margaret STEWART , of Ardvorlich b: ABT 1598 in Ardvorlich, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland.  Margaret married her distant cousin Andrew Stewart, 6th of Gartnafuaran.

       Their descendants are presented on the Gartnafuaran Page.

   Has Children Duncan Oag STEWART of Auchraig & Inchcallbeg b: ABT 1600 in Ardvorlich, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland.  Duncan Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as being the patriarch of Branches 3 & 4 of the Stewarts of Ardvorlich. He is described as: "Duncan Brother to Major Stewart of Ardvorlich Tacksman of Auchraig [in] Port Parish Monteith then the property of Ardvorlich. His son Alexander whose offspring are called Sliochd Alastir Oaig." And also as: "Duncan Oag of Ardvurlich commonly called Letter Stewart Tacksman of Letter & Auchraig then belonging to Ardvurlich Port Parish." "Oag" means "young", as in "Young Duncan".
