  General Notes:

"Robertus Innes, 'filius domini de Lightnet,' entered King's College in 1670 and took his M.A. in 1674. As Col. John Innes of Dippill got sasine on Lightnet in 1669, Robert may be taken to be a son of Col.John, and a brother of Hugh, minister of Mortlach. If this Robert was the 'cousin' of Mr James (Gordon) of Comber; he was cousin of Mr Alexander of Rathfriland (assuming Mr James and Mr Alexander to be brothers), and a reason would be found for Mr Alexander's mentioning him in his will. Robert lnnes, cousin of Mr James, seems to have been a writer in Edinburgh, and so was Mr Robert lnnes, son of Lightnet."

1700, Nov. 8. - Sasine to Robert lnnes, writer in Edinburgh, of an annual rent of £48 out of Lichnet (Banff Sasines).
