This story is inspired by the prompt “middle”. Discovering my ancestor Elizabeth Harvie
explained the unusual (for a girl) middle name of my more recent ancestor
Elizabeth Harvie McDonald, the subject of a previous post.
I think Elizabeth Harvie was baptised 10 August 1735 in the parish of Killearn, Stirlingshire, Scotland. Elizabeth Harvie was the youngest child, that I know of, of Andrew Harvey and Agnes Neilson. Andrew and Agnes had at least six other children baptised in Killearn: Elizabeth (who presumably died before 1735*), Janet, Jean, John, Andrew and Agnes. Father, Andrew, had a farm at Ballinkinrain just outside of Balfron in Stirlingshire, only a few miles from the Highlands.
