Biography
Reginald Craufurd is a member of Clan Crawford.
Reginald was possibly the son of John (Crawford) de Crawford (-1248) (stepson of Baldwin of Biggar)[1] but this is disputed. Reginald was born about 1165.[2]
He held the office of heritable Sheriff of Ayr,[2][3][4] to which his son Hugh succeeded. Together, they witnessed a charter by Walter the Steward to the monks of Paisley, in 1229.[4]
He married Margeret, daughter of James de Loudoun[2][3][5][6] circa 1200.[7] He retained the name of Crawford but quartered the arms of Loudoun with his own.[8] They had five sons:[9]
- Hugh, heir,Sheriff of Ayr[10][8][11], through whom he is an ancestor of Sir William Wallace.[3][10][5][9]
- William[10][3][9]
- John[10][3][9]
- Adam[10][3][9]
- Reginald, parson of Strathaven, in Lanarkshire[10][9][12]
His date of death is not known, but he was still living in 1232 when he witnessed to a donation by David de Lindsay to the monatery of Newbattle.[2]
Research Notes
- Birth location needs to be sourced.
- Marriage location need to be sourced.
- Death date and location need to be sourced.
- Are there any sources with details available about his life?
- Profiles for his children need to be sorted out and merged as necessary
- William Robertson, in referencing William Wallace, skips a generation.[3] William's mother Margaret was the daughter of Hugh's son also named Hugh rather than Hugh.

"Wice of Wiston has given, granted, and established by this his charter, to Kelso Abbey the church of Wiston (LAN), his villa with its two chapels of the villa of Robert, brother of Lambin, (i.e. Roberton) and the villa of John, stepson of Baldwin, (i.e. Crawford John) to be held by them in perpetual alms, with the land, teinds, pastures, wood, and the other easements of the _villa_ and with all other just pertinents of the church, for the salvation of his lord, King Malcolm, and his brother William, and for the salvation of his soul, his spouse and his heirs and for the soul of his father, his mother and all of his ancestors and successors."
This charter is dated by POMS as 1147 x 1160.
Happy to discuss.
The Scots Peerage and the PoMS record you provided both indicate that John was Baldwin's stepson. The unfortunate issue with this line of Crawfords (and many other medieval families) is the lack of primary source documents and incorrect internet lore. Getting it right one fact at a time is all we can do. Thank you for pointing it out!
