This is sufficient to show that John and Walter were (at least) half-brothers, but does not conclusively establish that Walter's mother was Marion. The fact that there is no mention of this Walter Stewart in any charter before 1382/3 does suggest, however, that he was not born until after that date.
Walter Stewart was appointed Dean of Glasgow in 1418 by Pope Benedict XIII but the appointment was later contested and, in February 1421, he resigned his right to the position in favor of Thomas de Myrton. In 1428 he was elected Dean of Moray, a position which he still held on 26 February 1433. During 1432-1433 he served as Treasurer of Scotland.
Walter Stewart, Dean of Moray, died sometime before 9 January 1434.
