- Marriage (1): INNES, Janet 1
- Died: Before February 1514 1
User ID: X271.
William married Janet INNES, daughter of Beroald INNES of Meillers and Unknown.1 (Janet INNES was born about 1456.)
Marriage Notes:
"As stated above, it has been assumed that he was the second son of the first Alexander Sutherland of Duffus, and that Christina of Duffus, named above, was his niece. The consistorial sentence of 29 April 1494, already cited, p. 194, supra, distinctly proves that he was the uncle of Christina, and he must therefore have been the second son, not of the first Alexander, but of William, his eldest son, and at least a younger brother of Alexander Sutherland called of Strabrock, the father of Christina." (page 195)
"His wife may have been the Janet Innes, 'Lady Greeship,' said to be a daughter of the family of Innes, and widow of a Laird of Duffus, who again married, some time before 1517, Hugh Rose of Kilravock." (page 196)
Note: Janet Innes married not the William Sutherland who died before his father, Alexander, but the son of that William who went on to inherit Duffus.
