Marriage Notes:
"1608
234 Obitus Walteri Innes de Inderbrackie 18 huius [March] 1608.
Grandson of Walter Innes of Touchs, who in 1529 married Janet Tarrel, lady of Inverbreakie (RMS, iii, 825, 25 August). The family of Tarrel was prominent in Ross and Sutherland in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries (see, e.g. Munro Writs, nos. 6, 8, 10, 15, 17; Fraser, Cromartie, ii, no. 526; Fraser, Sutherland, iii, nos. 22, 41). Janet Tarrel had a sasine of Inverbreakie (Roskeen par.) and Balnagall (Tain par.) as early as 3 July 1492 (GD242/56/3/13, inventory of 1713, certification by David Denoon, who gave the sasine as king's bailie). She was in possession in her own name on 12 December 1505, when the executors of Sir James Dunbar of Cumnock brought an action against her (CS5/17, 115v). She had a child, Alexander Stewart, for whom she resigned her lands on 9 January 1511 (RMS, ii, 3528); on his death a year later she received the lands back again (RMS, ii, 3675, 2 January 1512). Some unusual family history lies behind these entries; nothing, however, is known of Andrew's father, beyond his surname."
