The family have been involved in the wars fighting along side of William Wallace against the British circa 1289 AD. The interesting point here is that in fact there are a couple of Creighton that are directly related through marriage to William Wallace's family.

At this time of William de Crichton was sheriff of Edinburgh, keeper of Edinburgh Castle, and master of the king’s household. In 1439 he became chancellor.

For the first two years of James II’s reign, Archibald Douglas, 5th Earl of Douglas and head of the ‘Black Douglas’ family, was Regent. When he died, William Crichton and Sir Alexander Livingston fought to overthrow the power of the Black Douglas family. In 1440 they invited William Douglas - the 16 year old sixth Earl - and his brother to dinner in Edinburgh Castle, even entertaining them at Crichton on the way. At the end of the meal, a black bull’s head, symbolising impending death, was placed on the table. The boys were given a mock trial before being beheaded, the incident becoming known as the ‘Black Dinner’.

My family name has been traced back to 1422 in England. To be honest, we're all related since we're descended from Adam and Eve. Guess we can all call each other "cuz". :):)

I started with info like the ship that my great granddad was caption of.
The ship The Three Bells and googled it. It's been a ride like you would not belive. Trip to scotland, UK and cayman island. so it can get costly.
