Craigbet is a Large Mansion on the Boundary of the Parish about one mile West of Bridge of Weir. Perhaps Elizabeth worked there.

Elizabeth almost certainly came from Inverness, at this time the Name Elizabeth was only in use there.
A large weaving establishment was also close, near Bridge of Weir.
On the Picture above, Hall of Graigbet, the House and Estate seem to be in next Parish and a Hall is shown inside the Red line.

A John Sage 1750 also appears but in Greenock, other side of the Clyde, probably not related.

Kilbarchan was a notable centre for Tartan Weaving, it was the only place that Tartan was allowed to be woven after 1745 in recognition of the Men who helped fight against the rebellion.
