Where do Sir John Crichton, of that Ilk , Thomas Crichton, Burgess of Berwick Humphrey de Crichton, of Bagthrop , and Stephen de Crichton belong?
I only see Isabel de Ros & Sir William de Crichton of Sanquhar, 1st Laird of Sanquhar with child Edward Crichton of Sanquhar
Ref: Scots Peerage https://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/ecco/004896980.0001.000/1:86?rgn=div1;...
https://archive.org/stream/scotspeeragefoun03paul#page/56/mode/1up Suggests that William of Sanquhar had a brother John, with 2 sons, William & John.
William died before 1383, with 5 sons.
However https://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/ecco/004896980.0001.000/1:86?rgn=div1;... lists the 3 sons of Thomas de Crichton & Eda as Nicholas, William & Thomas.
Sir William Crichton of Sanquar married a lady named Isabel. Her surnames is said to have been Ross but proof is wanting. He appears to have been succeeded by Edward Crichton of Sanquar, relationship not known, who had a brother named Humphrey. https://archive.org/stream/scotspeeragefoun03paul#page/220/mode/1up
I think the Cairns line, the Berwick / Sanquhar line, and the “of Crichton” line got mixed up.
I’ve moved Thomas Crichton, Burgess of Berwick as son of Thomas & Eda, but we’re now missing a Thomas of Cairns.
Humphrey de Crichton, of Bagthrop Should be moved down tree, perhaps?

Sir John Crichton, designed dominus de Crichton, is mentioned in the above-named donation of his cousin William. A witness to several charters of King David Bruce. In a charter of Radrdphus dominus de Cranyston, Jo/iannes dominus de Crichton is a witness, circa 1340. Died before 1358.
Here’s an image page of a chart:

Two competing Williams.

By charter dated 27 May 1338, William de Kreitton, rector of the Church of Kreitton, and son and heir of the deceased Thomas de Kreitton, burgess of Berwick, for the wellbeing of his own soul, and the souls of his father Thomas, his mother Eda, and his step-mother Isabella, and also of the souls of Thomas Nicholas and Sir John de Kreytton, granted to the Abbey of Newbottle his lands in the holding of New Cranston in Lothian, and this grant was confirmed the same day by Radulph de Cranston dominus de Newcranston, son and heir of the deceased Andrew de Cranston, from whom Thomas de Kreitton, burgess of Berwick, and father of the said William, had originally received the said lands.8
Is Sir William de Crichton of Sanquhar, 1st Laird of Sanquhar misplaced?
I really don’t think Sanquhar was a son of the Berwick man.
https://archive.org/stream/scotspeeragefoun03paul#page/218/mode/1up Has him as possibly son of Alexander.
https://www.electricscotland.com/history/sanquhar/chapter04.htm Has:
THE FAMILY OF CRICHTON.
According to Holingshed, the first Crichton came over from Hungary with Agatha, widow of the Saxon Prince Edward, when her daughter married Malcolm III., in 1067. Thurstanus de Crichton was a witness to the foundation charter of the Abbey of Holyrood House in 1128, and Thomas de Crichton swore fealty to Edward 1. for lands in Midlothian in 1296. His two sous founded the families of Sanquhar (now represented in the female line by the Marquis of Bute, who is also Earl of Dumfries) and of Frendraught.
The elder son became possessed of half the barony of Sanquhar through his wife, Isabelle de Ros, and subsequently purchased the remainder.

So that would be a “different” Thomas (or Alexander) with a brother (Humphrey?).
