"The progenitor of the present family, possessing the barony of Dalguise, was Sir John Steuart, of Cardney, Lord of Dowallie, son of King Robert II., by Mariotta, daughter of John de Cardennie, or Cardney, of Ilk, in Perthshire. He married Jane, daughter of Sir John Drummond, of Stobhall, and sister of Annabella, queen of Robert III. His first charters appear to be dated in the year 1382, when he inherited, by his mother, the barony of Cardney, and other lands."

She is said to have been a daughter of Sir John de Ross, son of the Earl of Ross, who assumed the name of Cardney on obtaining from Robert II. the lands of Cardney, 19th June 1375, in which charter he is styled 'dilectus consanguineus noster', the king having married Euphemia Ross. Mariota got charters of various lands from the king, and bore to him four sons."
