McHARDY, Jane 1
- Born: About 1766
- Marriage (1): FORBES, Hary of Torrancroy in 1788 1
General Notes:
"Jane McHardy (see Note 5) presumably born in 1766 (or 1758) died 1837 m 4 Aug 1788 Hary Forbes of Torrancroy (and one of their daughters, Jane Forbes, m James Grassick)"
"Note 5
Jane McHardy m James Grassick (Note:this is a typographical error on the site-should read Hary Forbes; their daughter married Grassick)
The OPR records many fewer baptisms than previously in the 1760s and Jane McHardy's birth is not recorded. It was first assumed she belongs to James McHardy's family by proximity and the naming pattern of her children. This was later confirmed in Aberdeen University Historic Collections MS 3402 Bundle 22 comprising evidence taken in 1865 in a commonty dispute in which James Forbes aged 75 and residing in Finnygall [whom we know to be a son of Hary Forbes and Jean McHardy] affirmed 'I have seen cattle and sheep belonging to James McHardy tenant in Torrancroy - my grandfather - pasturing in the Meikle Glenoughty.' Supporting evidence in NAS CS 298/29/5 is that Jane McHardy's daughter's husband James Grassick provided financial surety for Alexander Farquharson in Asloun (son of Isobel McHardy above) & James McPherson (son of Diana McHardy above)."
