THE family of Lindsay is of great antiquity in Scotland, where it has spread into numerous branches. The earldom of Crawford, the most ancient on the union roll, was conferred by king Robert III. on sir David Lindsay, 21 April 1398.

Of this distinguished house the earl of Balcarres is undoubtedly the chief, being descended, in the male line, from Water Lindsay, 3d son of Alexander, 2d earl of Crawford; and the whole male descendants of the 2 eldest sons of that earl having failed. David, 7th earl of Crawford, having been barbarously treated by his sons, disinherited them, and settled his title and estate on sir David Lindsay, of Edzell, great-grandson of Walter above mentioned, who consequently became the 8th earl of Crawford; but, notwithstanding he had several sons, and one of them ancestor of the earl of Balcarres, the generosity of his disposition induced him to make a settlement of the honours and estate on the rightful heir in blood, David, grandson of the 7th earl, reserving to himself, during his life only, the title of carl of Crawford, and a competent provision out of the estate, to support him according to his rank. He expressly condi tioned, that, in failure of the heirs male of the body of David, above mentioned, who, in virtue of that settlement, became 9th earl of Crawford, the honours and estate should revert to the descendants of his own body, as next heirs male. Ludovick, 14th earl of Crawford, having engaged on the side of king Charles I. in the civil wars, was taken prisoner, and condemned to be executed, by the parliament of Scotland: by whom his title and estates were conveyed to John, earl of Lindsay, lord high treasurer of Scotland, a remote branch of the family, which were descended from the principal stock, previous to their creation as earls of Crawford. The earl of Lindsay being doubtful of the validity of this grant by parliament, entered into a contract with the earl of Crawford, then in prison, under sentence of death, to whom he gave assurances of saving him from the hands of the executioner. By this transaction, Crawford agreed to resign his title in favour of Lindsay, reserving that the resignation should not take effect in the event of his leaving issue male of his own body. On his death, without issue, the earl of Lindsay became, accordingly, 15th earl of Crawford; and thus the succession was conveyed away from the legitimate heirs male. The male line of his body failed in George, 20th earl of Crawford, who d. without issue, in 1808.

Sir DAVID LINDSAY, of Balearres, (grandson of John Lindsay, 2d son of David, 8th earl of Crawford, above named,) was served heir to John, his father, 19 May 1601: when king Charles I. visited Scotland, he was advanced to the dignity of the peerage by the title of lord Lindsay, of Balearres, 27 June 1633; m.
