He married Jean, daughter of James Anderson, an eminent antiquary and author of "Diplomata Scotiae," which is quoted in this present work. This manuscript was transcribed from the original by Dr. A. R. Crawfurd, a retired English physician descendant of another branch of Crawford, the Crawfurds of Ardmillan.
