Excerpt from An Account of the Life and Writings of Sir Thomas Craig of Riccarton: Including Biographical Sketches of the Most Eminent Legal Characters, Since the Institution of the Court of Session by James V, Till the Period of the Union of the Crowns That the feudalist was of this family there is no doubt, but there exists strong evidence to prove that his biographer is incorrect as to the name and condition of his alleged father. Sir Thomas appears to have been the eldest son, not of Mr. Robert Craig, but of Mr. William Craig, of Craigfintray, afterwards Craigston, in the county of Aberdeen. He was the heir of the property, and the representative of that ancient family According to Baillie, Sir Thomas was born in the year 1548 But this is nearly impossible, for it is certain that he Was J astice-depute in the year 15641. If Baillie's date is correct, this would make him only sixteen when he Was call ed to the duties of this important office, which is not to be believed. It is much more probable that he was born in the year 1538. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
