The Crawford surname descends from the Barony
of Crawford in the upper ward of Clydesdale, Scotland. It has been
stated that in 1248, Sir John of that ilk died leaving 2 daughters, of whom the
elder married Archibald de Douglas, and the younger married David Lindsay of
Wauchopedale. David Lindsay was one of the ancestors of the Earls of
Crawford and Balcarres.
