Elizabeth Paton or later Elizabeth Andrew of Lairgieside was the daughter of James Paton. Betsy was employed as a servant a girl at Lochlea Farm during the winter of 1783–84, but returned to her own home when the Burns family moved to Mossgiel Farm in March 1784.
Life and character
Following an affair she gave birth on 22 May 1785 to Robert Burns's first child, Elizabeth Paton Burns, the "Dear-bought Bess", who was baptised when only two days old. She later married John Andrew, a ploughman and widower, on 9 February 1788 in Tarbolton, Ayrshire, Scotland and had four children; she is said to have been a model housewife. John remarried one Jean Lees in 1799, therefore Elizabeth must have died before that date. In 1786, Elizabeth made a claim on Burns, but accepted a settlement of twenty pounds which the poet paid out of the profits of the Kilmarnock Edition. She is said to have had a plain face but a good figure.
Isabella Begg, Burns's niece, had heard of Elizabeth Paton as "rude and uncultivated to a great degree... with a thorough (though unwomanly) contempt for every sort of refinement."' In a letter to Robert Chambers she describes Elizabeth as "A well developed, plain-featured peasant girl, frank and independent .." and for these reason a favourite with Burns's mother. She goes on to say that had a "masculine understanding" and contempt for anything that savoured of culture.
