My apologies for not being clear,
where did the "Murach" come from
and why the change to "Stewart" ?

A variant or mispelling of Murdach, I suspect. As to "why the change",
it isn't a surname, and this is too early for the systematic use of
surnames anyway; it was about a century later that the junior lines of
the family mostly switched to using "Stewart".
