"4. James, the fourth son, born about 1700, seems to have had a varied career. In 1718 James Duff in Elgin is described as 'son of Robert Duff in Hillockhead,' and another document calls him a 'Messenger' there. A little later, he seems to have set up as a merchant in Banff, where he is described as James Duff, younger, merchant, to distinguish him from James Duff of Corsindae. He married, on June 22, 1727, Christian Innes, daughter to James Innes of Knockorth, Provost of Banff, whose mother was Margaret Gordon of Park.
The baptisms of seven of his children are recorded in the Registers of the Episcopal Church in Banff, he being then resident in Cullen of Gamrie (east of Macduff) : Margaret, 1728; Jean, 1730; William, 1731; Helen, 1735; Robert, 1738; Sophia, 1740 ; Henrietta, 1741 ('named to Miss Henrietta Duff, Dipple's daughter'). He is also known to have had a son John, and three other sons, whose baptisms may have taken place later, the Church Registers of 1745 and 1746 having been destroyed by Cumberland."
