Jean - "VERY INTERESTING:
There was a Thomas Crawford in the Prince William/Fauquier County area.
There is a Thomas Crawford St. Clair in one of our branches.  There was also
a Thomas Crawford in Botetourt County.  The Douglas family also lived in
this same area of Virginia.  Do you have the history of the Douglas family
that married into our branch.  It has been traced and documented back to
France in early early times."



So 5 down and 8 to go, and I will try and get back to them at the end of
this coming week.  These are the most modern ones written in roman
script.
The remaining ones are 17th C Scottish secretary hand so are going to
take a little longer.  They are quite difficult so I may only be able to do a
few at a time.

Nothing much out of them so far, obviously Robert Bogle's is more
detailed because he drew it up before he died.  However I would imagine if
alexander himself is going to get a direct mention it may be in one of the late
17thC ones
I have also checked the Aberdeen and St Andrews university records but
no Alexander of the correct date.  Have not managed to get hold of records
for Edinburgh and Glasgow going far enough back yet.
