About Sir Alexander Crichton, M.D, F.R.S., K.B.
Sir Alexander Crichton, physician to Tsar Alexander I, claimed as owner-in-fee of 1/6th of the enslaved on the Morant estate in St Thomas-in-the-East, Jamaica. The compensation money appears to have been paid to new trustees of his marriage settlement appointed at the time of compensation. ...
Crichton's wife Frances Dodwell was a co-heiress of a Jamaican estate, as the grand-daughter of Henry and Dulcibella Dodwell. The ODNB entry for Sir Alexander Crichton characterizes his wife as "heir to an Irish estate" and a strong Irish identity as well as Royal Naval and military linkages runs through the awardees under this claim.
/////
Dr. Crichton’s exertions to mitigate the horrors of an epidemic, which was devastating the south-eastern provinces of Russia in 1809, were most exemplary, and were fully acknowledged by the emperor, who conferred on him the knight grand cross of the order of St. Anne and St. Vladimir, third class; and in 1814 for his long and faithful services that of the second class.
