Elizabeth Shepherd
Bef. 1732 - aft. Jun 1757
Elizabeth was Calum's, Jamie's and Pippa's seven times great grandmother.
Not a great deal is known about Elizabeth Shepherd, except that she married
Andrew Lamb on 29 NOV 1744 in the parish of Auchtergaven. The marriage was recorded both by way of contract money for the banns
called in advance, and in the marriage register itself.
In the kirk session minutes for Auchtergaven (NRS: CH2/22/1/51 Auchtergaven):
Nov 4th (1744)

The OPR entry then notes the marriage itself (OPR M 330/00 0010/0013
Auchtergaven):
Marriages 1744

And: Lamb and Elizabeth Shepherd were married
The couple then resided at Coltrennie fermtoun within the parish, where they raised a family.
Little else is known of the Shepherds in Coltrennie. An investigation in the kirk session
minutes for Auchtergaven notes that a John Shepherd was accused of antenuptial fornication with a Beatrix
Miller in Coltrennie, the accusation being recorded on 29 NOV 1765. The record noted that he was of Coltrennie
also, and unmarried at the time - possibly making him a nephew of Elizabeth in terms of his age. He vehemently denied the
allegation for several years, until the point where he was finally read the Oath of Exculpation on 3 JUN 1770 (Source:
Auchtergaven kirk session minutes, National Records of Scotland, NRS CH2/22/1/355-361)
Elizabeth and Andrew had at least six children in Coltrennie (Culterenny,
Cuiltrennie, Coltrannie), within the parish of Auchtergaven.
