Hi there
Just been looking at my info and will see if this can fit in this message for you.
I ANDREW REIVE – 1750 - 1812
Andrew married Isabella Blake at Midraeburn, Dumfries Scotland on 27 May 1791 by Rev. McGrier, associate Minister in Ettrick Forest, county of Selkirk, Scotland. Andrew was a farmer in Harewoodhead Farm, Eskdale Dumfries. (Some indexes show the name to be Black).
He was probably a descendant (son) of Andrew Reive who was in possession of a large sheepholding in Glendinning, Westerkirk, Dumfries. Andrew Reive (Westerkirk) was probably a subscriber to a book of sermons which was published in 1741.
Andrew and Isabella had nine children over a period of 17 years
1 Betty 20 April 1792
2 William 4 December 1793 (ancestor of George Reive- Canada)
3 Bridget 31 July 1795
4 Andrew 13 May 1797 (ancestor of Greg Reive) this is my research here in Australia.
5 George 21 April 1799
6 Jean 28 August 1801
7 Thomas 17 July 1804 (emigrated to Canada)
8 Isabella 15 July 1807
9 Margaret July 1809
Andrew died 20 May 1812 and his wife Isabella had died 11 days before on 9 May, apparently when they were living in Eskdale.
It is not known where they are buried.
I think this information came from a descendant of George, who did this early research in the late 1800s. That 2nd para has been handed down through the families and is purported to come from research done by the descendant of one of the children of Andrew and Isabella. The line I researched is Andrew, 4th child and I made contact with descendants of Thomas who went to Canada.
