from Innes of Drainie




" .... and Therefore that it may be known that we did not grant this present diploma rashly or by mere assent, but after instituting a diligent scrutiny in the matter, we called into Court James Gordoune of Rothe-may and James Innes of Drumgask, who, after the solemn oath of our religion had been administered to them gave evidence that the foresaid Walter Innes was the lawful son of Alexander Innes of Kinminitie by Christina Young, his wife, and that the said Alexander Innes was the lawful son of James (see Note below) Innes of Draynie, grandfather of the said Walter Innes by Helen Ross his lawful wife and grandmother of the said Walter Innes, the said Helen Ross being a daughter of Hugh Ross, Baron of Kilravock, by Helen Falconer, a daughter of the Lord of Halkertoune"

from Birth brief of Walter Innes

Note:

It would appear that the given name of the laird of Drainie who married Helen Ross has been inaccurately recorded in the birth brief, understandably dince his father and son were both named James. ^{1 2}
