The Duke of Lennox, Ludovic Stuart (or Stewart), un- doubtedly managed the whole arrangement of this little colony from Kilbirny, most of whom were also his rela- tives. He seems to have been held in great esteem by the King, James VI of Scotland and I of England, and had many grants and charters in his favor. He was Great Chamberlain and High Admiral of Scotland. In the year THE CRAWFORDS IN AMERICA 29 1601 he was sent as ambassador to France. On his way back in December of that year he was en...tertained by Queen Elizabeth at her Court, in great splendor. He at- tended King James I from Scotland on his assuming the throne of England, and held many other important offices. He was created in succession Earl of Richmond, Earl of Newcastle, and Duke of Richmond. By marriage he was connected in several ways with the Kilbirny Crawfords. One of his wives (he was married three times) was a daughter of Sir Matthew Campbell of Loudoun, whose sister, Helen, married Laurence Crawford. Again, Alexander Crawford's grandmother was a grand- daughter of the first Earl of Lennox, and in that genera- tion there was another intermarriage.
