General Notes:
"After John died in 1635 the place of Coxton was again sacked. James Innes of Halton, the eldest son of John (who had already died in about 1620) had married Marjorie Innes of Leuchars against his fathers wishes. His grandfather and father then excluded him from any inheritance ... so in 1635 James's son Alexander (While still a minor), broke down the Tower's doors and carried off into the night the charter chest after a bloody fight. Innes of Leuchars and other members of the clan, were ordered to pay 1,000 merks to restore Coxton. In spite of the disinheritance of his father, Alexander Innes became the 2nd Baron of Coxton.."
James married Marjory INNES, daughter of Alexander INNES of Cotts, 'Craig in Peril', later of Leuchars and Marjorie GORDON, about 1612.1 (Marjory INNES was born about 1597.)
