James, the fourth son of James and Mabel, nee Johnston, Crawford, whose dates are sometimes given as 1757-1787, but given his military career it's more likely that he was born sometime between 1746 and 1752. He served in the Bengal Army of the East India Company: joining as a Cadet in 1767; Cornet, Ensign, or Second Lieutenant 20 July 1767; Lieutenant 19 April 1769; Captain 9 April 1777; Major 26 July 1781.
Major James Crawford died in Madras on 24 August 1787. He left a daughter Jane. Was James the "Jemmy" referred to by Martha McTier in an undated 1787 letter: "… Jemmy Crawford is on his return with £60,000 …" Sadly he never did return from India.
