An expanded and revised edition of the story of the earliest members of the ancient Scottish family of Crawford (from about 1150 to 1400). The traditional family legends don't always stand up well when compared to contemporary historical sources, but the old tales are repeated over and over nonetheless. Did Sir Gregan Crawford really save King David I from a charging stag in an act leading to the foundation of Holyrood Abbey? Were the Crawfords of Loudon the original hereditary sheriffs of Ayr? Was the mother of the hero William Wallace a Crawford? Was the Sir Reginald Crawford, who was brutally executed as a "rebel" by the English in 1307, the same man who joined the English in 1296? Most Crawfords who have already begun to ask such questions might be disappointed by what more reliable sources reveal about such tales. Nevertheless, I invite you to consider what history has to tell us about the earliest members of the Crawford family.

Family history of the Crawford families of Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri. The emigrant ancestor of this family was Ann Crawford, who was born in Ireland and immigrated to America before 1736. She stayed for a short period in Pennsylvania, was granted land in Augusta Co., Va. and moved there before 1748. She was the mother of four sons: 1. Alexander (d. 1764), who married Mary McPheeters; 2. Patrick (b. 1787), who married Sally Wilson ca. 1747; 3. James (b. ca. 1751); 4. George (b. 1779), who married Elizabeth Poage (b. 1791).

A mere forty miles apart, these cities have enjoyed a scratchy rivalry since wistful Edinburgh lost parliamentary sovereignty and defiant Glasgow came into its industrial promise. Crawford brings them to life between the covers of one book, in a tale that mixes novelty and familiarity, as Scotland’s cultural capital and largest commercial city do.
