What a lot of Stewarts!
You seem to be missing Alexander Thomas Stewart, nicknamed 'Graceless', who was alive in the 1780s.  I think he was the son of Alexander Stewart of Ballintoy who died at that time; his mother may have been a Stewart cousin.

See Burke's Irish Family Records (under Moore) for Stewart-Moore of Ballydivity.
It may be worth looking in older editions of Burke's Landed Gentry of Ireland for related Stewart lines; perhaps try also Burke's Peerage for a couple of lines of baronets.

[pablo1]

Thanks Hugh C.  Graceless and his son were mentioned as no. 9 and 10.  My main interest with the Ballintoys is merely to show their connection to other families that I am interested in, which is mainly the Macaulay family of Cushendall.  However, if anyone should find any errors with the pedigree I posted, I would be most interested.  With very best regards, Paul

[HughC]

I suspect that Poyntz Stewart (1736-1823) was descended from Archibald who m. Miss Poyntz (numbered 7 in your list).  His parents were Capt. Charles Stewart of Carrickfergus and Rose née Hall (probably of the Narrow Water family).  There's a large memorial tablet on the outer wall of Lisburn cathedral, not all of it very legible.

[HughC]

In case it's of interest, I found the following in various editions of Burke's Landed Gentry
(some are in Paul's list, but not always with dates):

Edward Brice, b. c. 1720; m. (1st) 1752 Rose, dau. of Alexander Stewart of Ballintoy.

Samuel Close m. a Miss Stewart of Ballintoy; their son was drowned as a schoolboy c. 1781
(he's unlikely to have been more than 16 if he was still at school).

Richard Dobbs who m. Mary Stewart was b. 1660.
Conway Richard Dobbs (grandson), b. 22 July 1727, d. 11 Apr. 1811; m. (1st) 1749 Anne, dau. of Alexander Stewart; she d. 19 Feb. 1765.
Francis Dobbs (probably a great-grandson of Richard), b. 27 Apr. 1750; m. 17 July 1773 Jane Stewart of Ballintoy.
The Dobbs family is in Burke's Irish Family Records.

George Vesey, d. 5 July 1737; m. Frances, dau. of Alexander Stewart.

There was also a Sir Dougal Stewart who m. Jane, dau. of Robert McNeill (no dates given).

I might also mention that 'Oge' should really be spelled óg which is Irish for young,
so corresponds to junior.

Once again, HughC, many thanks for all of your additional input.
