the lady and her son.

Crosby Lodge was built by David KENNEDY, heir to the Craig estate in
Ayrshire. He died in 1819, following a fall from his horse, so he didn't
get to inherit Craig. His widow was left with large debts and needed to
sell Crosby Lodge. It seems that Fergus James GRAHAM was the buyer.

GRAHAM researchers may know more about this.

If anyone is interested enough in this, there is a document in the Carlisle
Archives which is likely to have further detail of this GRAHAM family:

D KEN/1. Graham family of Kirklinton

This is one of a large set of documents from David KENNEDY's business and
personal correspondence. A few years ago, I was able to use the Archive
Centre services to have images of a few of them emailed to me in Australia.
The modest fee proved well worth it. My interest at the time was David
KENNEDY's close friend, Col Andrew McDOUALL.
