• Notes

  Legitimated in 1552; According to Crawfurd (Officers of State, p. 383) Richardson (James' father) possessed a 'large estate in land,' including the baronies of Smeaton and Pencaitland, which he left to his natural son, James Richardson, who married Lady Elizabeth, daughter of James Douglas, earl of Morton, regent of Scotland. Their issue was Sir James of Smeaton; Sir Robert Richardson, reputed first baronet of Pencaitland; Archibald; and Alexander.
