  Research Notes:

CRICHTON

"The family dealt with in this article seems to have been closely and continuously connected with the place from which it took its name (i.e. Crichton), certainly from the thirteenth century. Various members of the family acquired lands in other parts of Scotland, notably in the sheriffdom of Dumfries, and appear to have taken different sides in the wars of independence. The acquisition of Sanquhar was certainly due to a marriage, and it may reasonably be concluded that Dryfesdale came into their hands in the same way."
