Of Stewart's children only one daughter, Bernella or Bernarda, lived to inherit the family property. This lady was married, about the year 1650, to her kinsman, James Stewart, son of John Stewart, of Straidh, in the parish of Ballintoy. In 1664 her husband inherited the estates of his cousin, Ninian Stewart, of Kilcathan or Kilchattan, in the Island of Bute. These estates consisted of five marklands of Kilcathanmore, three marklands of Kilcathanbeg, three marklands of Langlelorid, twenty-shilling lands of Langilkechad, two marklands of Dungdill, or Dunzull, three marklands of Kildavanane, the £5 lands of Ballinkaillie and Blackhouse, of old called the £5 lands of the Forest to Bute, together with the family mansion of Kilcathan, so beautifully situated on the Bay of the same name. These properties were probably sold by James Stewart, of Ballintoy, soon after he came into possession of them, as we do not find his name recorded as owning estates in Bute after the year 1664.1

1 The descendants of John Stewart, the first sheriff, spread themselves over the entire island of Bute, occupying its principal residences, and owning almost ail its landed property at the commencement of the seventeenth century. Thus, we rind that in the parish of Km, -rath, which includes the southern division of the island, the lands of Killislough. or Kell mtjh, Cerrecroy, Ambrismore, ivillchattan, or Killcathan, Langill, Brigadill, Drumcly, Ascos, KdHdavanan, Gillachane, and Dunzull, were held by members of this family,' between the years 1174 and loJ7. In like manner, the lands throughout Rothesay, the northern division of Bute, known as the Forest IJallinkaillie, Blackhouse, Kdlldonanan, Kilmore, Largabractane, Cunningburgh, Barrone, Ikllelone, Ardmeleish, Grecnan, Kerslag, Dunallird, Kilmichael, Largcane, Barmorc, Qucane, Ardscalpsy, Drumacloy, K.ilk]uh nilik, A.-'i ir\ olik, together with the lands occupied by the Mill and Castle of Rothesay, were in possession of vari i :; families of Stewarts (all descended from the tirst sheriff) between the years 14S0 and 1660. The above lands were ail held by their occupants as grants from the crown. See Origiaes ParochiaUs Scotial, Parishes or Kingrath and Rothesay.
