| He had sasines of the lands of Frendraught, Inverkeithny, Hillton and Kirkton Malar on 27 May 1536, probably as heir of his father. He had a charter to himself and Agnes Abernethy his wife of the lands of Inverkeithny or Conveth on 15 August 1539, and on 5 September 1539 he sold the lands of Hillton-Malar to John Ross of Craigie. He appears to have been for a time of unsound mind, as on 12 July 1536 George Crichton of Conzie was appointed curator to William Crichton of Frendraught, a 'daft and natural idiot.' He was still alive in 1546, but the date of his death is uncertain.7 | ||
