Janet Alice

It is interesting to find that the name Alice which appears among members of the Hart family and descendants was a surname.
It seems that she was born in 1743. Her father was Mr Ellis of Blairengone in Perthshire.
She married Rev. Andrew Mitchell, anti-burgher minister at Beith in Ayrshire in 1766, and had seven sons and three daughters, the youngest being our ancestor.
