from Familie of Innes
"John Gordon died before January 11, 1688. He married Eupham Beaton (Familie of Innes, p. 244).
'Bessie Douglas, relict of umquhill Johne Innes of Leuchars, made her testament in the volt chamber of Leuchars, 23 July, 1655. She left little gear ... a stand of silk courtains with velvet pands and silk fringes, in the hands of Eupham Betoun sometime Lady Achynachie, impignorat to her for £80 '... (ibid., pp. 243-4).
Elizabeth Betoune (Lady Achynachie) directs her letters to her sister - 'the right honourable my loving sister the Goodwyff of Cotts . . .' (ibid., p. 209).
'Elizabeth' seems a misreading by Cosmo Innes for 'Eupham' (as found in the will), which seemed a favourite with the ladies at Auchindachy. Who Eupham Beaton was, is not clear."
