io8 THE EARLY RECORDS OF
Hew Craufurd, Captain Thomas Craufurd's son, died in 1624. 1
CORNELIUS Craufurd of Jordanhill, Hew's eldest son, married
in 1625 Mary, daughter of Sir James Lockhart of Lee by his wife
Jean, daughter of Sir George Auchinleck of Balmanno.* By her he
had issue, viz. :
Hew, of whom infra.
Thomas, the progenitor of the Craufurds of Cartsburn, who
married Jean Maxwell, sister of Sir George Maxwell of
Nether Pollok. 3
Margaret Craufurd, who married in 1648 James Graham
of Killearn.
Jean Craufurd, who married Robert Pollok of that Ilk,
ancestor of Sir Robert Pollok, Bart., of Upper Pollok. 4
Cornelius Craufurd, Captain Thomas Craufurd's grandson, died
on 30th September, 1687.
Hew Craufurd of Jordanhill, the eldest son of Cornelius
Craufurd, married Bethia, daughter of Sir John Hamilton of
Orbiston. 6
Laurence Hill, LL.D., however, differs from this statement of
her parentage, noting that " Bethia Hamilton was a daughter of
James Hamilton of Woodhall, by his 2nd cousin and wife, Jean,
daughter of Sir John Hamilton of Orbiston, Lord Justice Clerk ;
which James Hamilton again was the son of John Hamilton of
Woodhall by Knox, daughter of Andrew Knox, Bishop of
the Isles and Raphoe (Ireland), who was the son of John Knox
of Ranfurlie, in Renfrewshire."
Hew Craufurd, who died 22nd November, 1683, had issue by
Bethia Hamilton, viz. :
Laurence Craufurd, who succeeded his grandfather, Cornelius
Craufurd, and died 22nd September, 1723 ; also,
James Craufurd, whose grandson, Sir Hew Craufurd, succeeded
to the estate.
