  Marriage Notes:

"William (Crichton), ninth Lord Crichton of Sanquhar, was, as already indicated (p. 227), the cousin of the eighth Lord. In 1598 he is described as the son and apparent heir of William, tutor of Sanquhar. He was also styled of Darnhunch or Darnhaunch, a place in Ayrshire, and of Town-head, and after January 1606 he is designed of Ryhill, which property he purchased, a fact which has led to his being erroneously stated to be a son of John Crichton of Ryhill, referred to on p. 225. In September 1612 he took steps to vindicate his claim to his late cousin's estates and title by warning the tenants not to pay rent, and he also on 6 November 1613 was served heir to the late Lord as his father's brother's son ....
.... He married, first, Euphemia, daughter of James Seton of Touch, and widow of Patrick Hamilton of Peel of Livingston, by whom he had issue."
