Biography

Patrick (Crichton) Crichton of Cranstoun Riddell is a member of Clan Crichton.
Scottish flag
Patrick (Crichton) Crichton of Cranstoun Riddell was born in Scotland.

Sir Patrick Crichton was the son of Sir David Crichton and Margaret Schaw.[1][2]

He lived at Cranstoun Riddell, Scotland.[3]

He married Katherine Turing before 14 Jul 1488.[4][5] They had issue:

  1. David[6]
  2. Agnes Crichton,[4][7]
  3. Janet, m. John Douglas[8] d. a 1515[9]

Patrick died in May 1521.[4]

Research Notes

  • His daughter Janet is estimated to have been born prior to 25 Oct 1471 placing his marriage before 8 Feb 1470/71 and his birth before 8 Feb 1456/57.
  • Campbell[6] refers to Patrick as the late brother of Peter in 1529, so Patrick certainly died before that date.

Although an unreliable source (ThePeerage.com) says John Crichton and Christian Gremislaw are the parents of Patrick, a reliable source (James Balfour Paul - Scots Peerage) lists only a son named William. The RMS indicates that the parents were David Crichton and Margaret Schaw RMS #956 p. 198

Crichton-218 and Crichton-215 appear to represent the same person because: clear duplicate

Lots of sources for other Crichton's, but having a hard time find some good ones for Patrick. I have seen personal family trees on Ancestry.com that show the following:

Patrick Crichton b. 1435 m. 1st Deborah Erskine of Bakersfield (b. abt 1440) c. 1460, issue: Janet Crichton, b. 1461, m. 2nd Lady Ellen Shaw (b. abt 1458) c. 1478, issue: Agnes Crichton, b. 1483.

Wish I could find some good sources, but these dates fix the problems with the Kerr children.

I cannot locate any source that supports the idea that a Deborah Erskine was the daughter of Thomas Erskine and Janet Douglas and the wife of Patrick Crichton.
