 Maybe Adair Crawford DNB 1748-95 physician and chemist; as a chemist likely to have been a friend of William Nicholson. He married Eleanor Stone (sister of William Stone who was tried for treason in 1796) on 22.5.1786 at Tiverton, Devon, and died at Lymington, Hants. His will PCC 1796 makes his brother Dr Alexander Crawford of Lisburn Ireland joint executor with serjeant James Adair (DNB 1743? - 1798), they had presumably a family connection in northern Ireland. His handwriting was sworn to by John Crawford of Castle St Holborn, Doctor of Physic (see Crawford, Dr).
