This ancestry is from Carr P. Collins, Jr., "Royal Ancestors of Magna Carta
Barons" (Dallas: 1959), p. 225, but is disputed by another source which
gives his father as James Stewart and wife Egidia de Burgh. "Ancestral
Roots..." (Balt., 1992) 75A-31 contradicts this ancestry for Walter, giving
his father as James Steward (5th High Steward of Scotland, b. ca. 1243, d.
1309, son of Alexander of Dundoland, High Steward of Scotland, d. ca. 1282,
by wife Jean, said to be dau. of James, Earl of Bute; Walter's mother is
then James' wife, Egidia de Burgh, dau. of Walter de Burgh (ID3267) and his
second wife, Avelina Fitz John. 252-31 states Walter m. (2) or (3) Isabel,
sister of Sir John Graham, with whom he had issue. See Edigia, ID14411.Steward married Bruce, Princess of Scotland Marjorie in 1315. Marjorie (daughter of Robert, King of Scots I and Mar, Isabel of) died on 2 Mar 1316. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Alexander's six sons m. Anne-Eupheme and Margaret, the two eldest daus. and

If he is Robert's father (see comments for Robert), he was in his late sixties at Robert's birth. Ninian appears to connect to the Earls of Dunbar in the Earls of Moray line of descent, in which a Ninian Dunbar succeeds as Baronet of Grangehill and is
M.P. for Elgin, 1646-47 - Ninian's son, Sir Robert Dunbar, was knighted in 1660 and is M.P. at Ninian's death, 1704 - ref. "Dunbar Pedigree," by Wm. Jaggard, 1910, used at Bodleian Library, Oxford, England, 6/87. Ninian's line is continued in this
database, based on this "Dunbar Pedigree." In 1645 Montrose burned Ninian's house down because Ninian would not fight for Charles I. Ninian married (1) Ogilvy, daughter of Lord Banff (and had two sons) and (2) Christian (or Findnella), daughter of
_____ Dunbar of Bennagefield (and had two more sons). Ninian is referred to in a Charter dated 30th October 1616 as "Ninian son and heir" and in an Elgin deed of 1644 as "Ninian of Grangehill."Ninian married on Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
