Early life
Born as Patrick Lindsay in 1646, he was the second son of the Treasurer of Scotland, John Lindsay, 10th Lord Lindsay of the Byres, 17th Earl of Crawford, and 1st Earl of Lindsay, and the former Lady Margaret Hamilton.[1] Among his siblings were Lady Anne Lindsay (who married the 1st Duke of Rothes),[2] Lady Christian Lindsay (who married the 4th Earl of Haddington),[3] William Lindsay, 18th Earl of Crawford (who married Lady Mary Johnstone, eldest daughter of the 1st Earl of Hartfell),[4] Lady Helen Lindsay (who married Sir Robert Sinclair, Bt),[5] and Lady Elizabeth Lindsay (who married the 3rd Earl of Northesk).[6]
His paternal grandparents were Robert Lindsay, 9th Lord Lindsay and Lady Christian Hamilton (a daughter of the 1st Earl of Haddington). His maternal grandparents were James Hamilton, 2nd Marquess of Hamilton and Lady Anne Cunningham (fourth daughter of the 7th Earl of Glencairn).[7]

In 1667, Crawfurd purchased the castle, estate, and barony of Glengarnock from Richard Cuninghame, the last of the Cuninghames of Garnock. He had already gained the adjacent barony of Kilbirnie through his marriage with Margaret, second daughter of Sir John Crawford. In 1707, both baronies were united in the Barony of Kilbirnie, with Kilbirnie Place as the principal dwelling.[8]
