Notes - "To prove the authenticity of the noble lineage of the Crawfords as presented in this book, as recognized in America, the compiler has qualified for the Magna Charta Barons, and Magna Charta Dames. He has entered the Crawfords, Bernards, Thorntons, Woods, and other families in The Sovereign Colonial Society of Americans of Royal Descent, so that members of the families in this book may qualify for such membership if they choose to do that. In the descent from the Sureties, John Crawford was descended from the Plantagenets. In his descent from William Marshall, Regent and Protector of England, Earl of Pembroke, born 1153, died May 14, 1219, married Isabel de Clare, daughter of Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke, known as "Strongbow"; he is also descended from French Royalty. His descent from these English Norman families comes through the sister of King Robert Bruce, the great granddaughter of Marshall, the "greatest Knight of the Age". Through her he was descended from King Malcolm III., of Scotland, the grandson of Crinan Erevine and his wife Beatrice MacAlpine, founders of the long ruling family of Scotland which ruled until the female blood took over in the rule of King John Baliol. Bruce represented another Female line of this ruling family. Through Saint Margaret Athling, daughter of Edward the Outlaw, the wife of King Malcolm III, it is interesting to note that he is descended not only from the heirs of the Saxon throne of England, but also from Jaroclaus, Prince of Russia, and Saint Olaf Thygvesson, King of Norway. More than that he was descended from the noble Scottish families of Abernethy, Bruce, Colquhoun (Calhoun), _____, Erskine, Keith, Lennox, Murray, Ross, Semphill and Stewart. All of the above is to be given in detail in the chapter of this book showing descent from Scottish Nobility. In addition to those the Crawford Family is descended from Sir Robert Crichton of Sanguhar, knight of Barony of Uchiltree, but the lineage of the family has not been found by this compiler and leaves something for you to find, if interested in doing some research. This is also true of this gr-gr-grandmother Eufame Wallace, but since Sir William Wallace's mother is a Crawford, it would be a safe wager that she was of the same family. He is descended from James I, King of Scotland, and Edward III, King of England."
