James Galbraith of Kilcroich

Stirnet makes this James the same man as I show as his father here, marrying both Katherine Barclay (before 20.02.1547-8), and Margaret Crawford, by whom he makes Robert.

=====================

Guthrie Smith ("Strathendrick." p. 168) is mistaken in stating that this James married secondly Margaret Crawford. He describes the early life of James as being violent but that a transformation took place in his later year-that the leopard changed his spots. Actually, this James was dead before 1573, as is shown by a deed of that date concerning the lands of Kilbride (Cartulary of Colquhoun, p. 259). It is his son, James Galbraith of Culcreuch, who married Margaret Crawford and had sasine of Over Johnston in 1575. John Galbraith in Boquhan and Andrew Galbraith in Gonachan were brothers of this younger James of Culcreuch.
