== Biography ==
}Alan Stewart was born about 1465. He was the younger son of John Stewart, 1st Earl of Lennox and his wife Margaret Montgomerie.Sir James Balfour Paul, editor, The Scots Peerage, Volume V (Edinburgh: David Douglas, 1908), Archive.org, [https://archive.org/stream/scotspeeragefoun05pauluoft#page/350/mode/2up. p. 350]
He became the first Stewart Laird of Cardonald,
The Cardonald Stewarts had their seat at the Place of Cardonald (also known as Cardonald Castle or Cardonald House), built in 1565. It was demolished and replaced by a farmhouse - Cardonald Place Farm - in 1848.
The line of the Stewarts of Cardonald ended with Alan's great-grandson, James Stewart 4th of Cardonald (1512–1584). He had served as a captain in the Scottish Guards of the Kings of France, and is buried in Paisley Abbey.
As he had no issue, the lands of Cardonald passed to his sister's son, Walter Stewart, 1st Lord Blantyre. His family resided at the Place of Cardonald for generations, and retained lands in Cardonald until the 20th century.
With the death of the 12th Lord Blantyre in 1900, his estates passed to his grandson, William Arthur Baird.
Alan Stewart married Marion Stewart the daughter of Isabella Norwald of Cardonald and Sir William Stewart of Castlemilk.

As most records show the end of this line with Alans great-grandson then there has to be another level between Alan and James. (Possibly John Stewart 2nd of Cardonald).
:The use of the term 'his natural son' in Scots Peerage could mean legitimate of illegitimate depending on the customs of that time and place, and failing expert knowledge for that specific context, one can only infer that it guarantees that at least Alan is his father and does nothing to either support or refute that Margaret was his mother.
