Biographical Summary by Darryl Lundy's Peerage

Unattributed Biographical Summary

Sir Malcolm Crawford was born and died in Eastern Greenock. On one of the genealogical sites, Sir Malcolm was listed as being married to Marjory Barclay being married in 1480 in Eastern Greenock. On the same site, it also said he was married to Marion Crichton being married in 1480 in Kilbirnie, Ayrshire, Scotland. Interesting! Marion Crawford was born Marion Crichton in 1464 in Sanquhar, Dumfries-shire, Scotland, and died in 1493 in the same area. She was the daughter of Robert Crichton and Marion Stewart; sister of Elizabeth Crichton, Robert Crichton, and Margaret Crichton. She had no children that I could find.
