Genealogical collections relating to the family of Cravie or Craven in Scotland

The Family of Cravie or Craven. 41
is said to have been in either the army or navy, and
when Prince Charles Edward was at Holy rood, was a
supporter of his cause, and distributed roses at an enter-
tainment there. After the '45 he fled to India, where, it is
