Hi,
The Dundas family owned the Dunira Estate, and Elisabeth's father is probably the same person living on the estate who signed the Acknowledgement of the Chief of Clan Gregor in 1822;
Grigor; smith; Danina; (Perthshire);
The parish register says Elisabeth was born at Tullibanachar, which is probably Wester Tullybannocher, which is part of the estate, and where there was a smithy.
So, it could be she was named after the laird, (during the prohibition of the clan name it was common practice to use the laird's name). However, I think she was probably named after a member of his family. As well as a reference to a grandparent, or great grandparent, children were sometimes given a middle name from a friend's surname, and when this was done it was because the child was given the full name of the friend. So, if this is the case, then she was named after an Elisabeth Dundas. Henry's eldest daughter was called Elisabeth, and she probably spent her early years living on the estate, so maybe she was a friend of Gregor or Ann.
I think this is more likely than Dundas being a family name, because it's not a local surname.
John.
