 The Barony of Crawfordjohn
She may have been a Lindsay, a family strongly represented in the Crawford area at a very early period, and this theory is perhaps supported by the grant of the lands of West Crawford (thereafter Crawfordjohn), to her son, Baldwin’s stepson, John.
The new Baron, King James V, took a great interest in Crawfordjohn, and spent much of the summer of 1541 there, hunting with his second wife, Marie de Lorraine, and staying at the castle of Boghouse which he had intended for his mistress, a daughter of Carmichael of Meadowflat, the Heritable Keeper of Crawford Castle.
Crawfordjohn stayed with the Selkirk line until the 4th Earl sold the barony towards the end of the eighteenth century to Sir George Colebrooke, Bt, a member of an eminent family of bankers, politicians, and directors of the East India Company.

As part of the contract Lord Berkeley paid £5,000 immediately to John Tregonwell, partly in recompense for money spent in finishing Alexander Davies's mansion and in the upbringing of Mary; he also agreed to settle land of a considerable annual value either on, or in trust for, the couple by the time of the ceremony.
