     Sir James Crichton of Frendraugt was born at Scotland.¹ He married Catherine Borthwick, daughter of William Borthwick 4th Lord Borthwick.^5,6

     Sir James Crichton of Frendraugt was a mentioned with William IV Robertson D. D.; per Brown [1997:98]: "William Robertson (1721-1793) was son of the Reverend William Robertson (1868-1745), who was the second son of William Robertson of Gladney (b. 1656), who was the second son of William Robertson of Muirton, who was elder son of David robertson of Muirton, who was eldest son of Gilbert Robertson of Muirton and Janet Reid of Aikenhead, sister to Robert Reid, Bishop of Orkney (b. 1558). Gilbert Robertson was son of John, a younger son of Alexander, fifth Baron of Strowan (or Struan); Gilbert's mother was Margaret, daughter of Sr James Crichton of Frendraught, only son and heir of William, third Lord Crichton an dhis wife, Margaret Steward, daughter of James II. James II's mother, Jane, was granddaughter of John of Gaunt, son of Edward II of England: Sir Robert Douglas of Glenbervie, The Baronage of Scotland; Containing an Historical and Genealogical Account of the Gentry of that Kingdom (Edinburgh, 1798), pp. 405-10, 413-414. Thomas Seccombe's notice of Robertson in the Dictinary of National Biography cited the Struan, but not the Stewart descent, and referred readers to Douglas's Baronage."²

;      Genealogics shows James as the son of William and his wife Marion Livingstone. Van de Pas does show one illegitimate child by William and Margaret ("Margaret Crichton"), but no male offspring.
     Med Lands also only shows one child for Margaret Stewart and William Crichton: Margaret d. aft 21 Oct 1542.
     However, Roberts [2008:I:101] shows James as the son of William, 3rd Baron Crichton and Margaret Stewart (Margaret of Scotland), dau. of James II, King of Scotland. This would have made James illegitimate as William and Margaret were having an affair, but not married. Roberts states his parentage is "of debated legitimacy, but certain maternity."

     Sir David Barclay of Cairny-Barclay and Brechin was born circa 1290.¹ He married Margaret de Brechin, daughter of Sir David de Brechin Lord of Brechin and Margaret Bonkyl heiress of Bonkil, co. Berwicks. and Uldale, Cumberland, circa 1315.^2,3,4

Sir David Barclay of Cairny-Barclay and Brechin died on 24 January 1350 at Aberdeen, Scotland.¹
      ; per van de Pas: "In 1320 Sir David Barclay's father-in-law was executed for treason against Robert I, King of Scots, and immediately he was granted Brechin by the same king. In 1328 he was Sheriff of Fife, and in 1329 arranged the funeral of Robert I, King of Scots. Because of his involvement with the murder of John Douglas he himself was murdered."¹

     William Seton jure uxoris of Meldrum married Elizabeth Meldrum.²

William Seton jure uxoris of Meldrum died on 18 May 1452 at Battle of Brechin, Brechin, Angus, Scotland; per Wikipedia: "The Battle of Brechin was fought on 18 May 1452 during the reign of James II of Scotland, about two and a half miles north north east of Brechin.[1] By some interpretations, it was part of an on-off civil war during his reign between the king and an alliance of powerful noble families led by the Black Douglases, which as the king won was significant in the development of a relatively strong centralised monarchy in Scotland during the Late Middle Ages.[1]
     A royalist army formed by the Clan Gordon and Clan Ogilvy, led by Alexander Gordon, 1st Earl of Huntly, defeated the rebel Alexander Lindsay, 4th Earl of Crawford, a leading ally of the Black Douglases.[2] Shortly after Crawford submitted to the king, leaving the Black Douglases more isolated, to be defeated at the Battle of Arkinholm in 1455.[1]
     However, by other interpretations it was a localised conflict in the north-east of Scotland, of only limited relevance to wider conflicts in Scotland as a whole.[1]
