    Pauline Young and Emmy JT Clemente, in Our Ancestors, mention a "John
    Crawford of Kilbirny (who) married Margaret, daughter of John Blair and his
    wife Grisel, who was daughter of Robert, Lord Semple. He (John) obtained a
    charter under the great seal of the lands and baronies of Kilbirny and
    Easter Greenock, anno 1600. He spent much of his life "in foreign parts" and
    the story says that he died young, in 1622, January 16. He left 5 children,
    3 sons and 2 daughters. The eldest was john, his successor. John the elder,
    who is reported in Our Ancestors to have died young in 1622, "was succeeded
    by his son John who lived in great plenty. He spent his time rebuilding
    Kilbirny in 1627. He married the Lady (reported by some to have been his
    cousin) Mary Cunningham, daughter of the 7th Earl of Glencairn, and by her
    had two sons and two daughter."
