From the Runciman DNA project we have a good match between descendants of Thomas RUNCIMAN married to Alison Grieve, and of William of Crail. A tentative paper trail can be constructed between Thomas, William and the Robert married to Janet Sinclair and Katherine Begbie. William of Crail's orphaned children are known to have been brought up by a Richard RUNCIMAN living in North Berwick, and there is a baptism of an appropriate Richard to Robert and Katherine (Begbie), the assumption here is that William of Crail is the William born to Robert and Janet (Sinclair) in 1717. Likewise Thomas born Prestonpans, the son of Robert Runciman and Janet Sinclair, with a brother William, is currently assumed to be the same Thomas married to Alison Grieve with first known son Robert, living Thornton, Innerwick

In addition there is also a good DNA match to the representatives of the line of David, weaver of Earlston and progenitor of the Wanton Walls Runciman families. Exactly how David relates to either William or Thomas is completely unknown.

David belongs to a DNA tested line. For further information, see David's page in the Runciman One Name Study
