  Marriage Notes:

"Robert Innes of Rothmakenzie and Crommey, Baron of Kilmalemnock, died prior to 6 March 1536, as appears from his son's Discharge on the Third Part of Rothmakenzie. (Familie of Innes, 100.) He first married a daughter of William Meldrum of Fyvie, as appears from a tak of the Woodend of Fyvie, dated 4 November 1508, and granted by George Meldrum of Fyvie, who styles Robert Innes of Rothmakenzie his 'brother of law'; Secondly, a daughter of (Alexander?) M'Culloch of Plaidds, apparently a sister of William M'Culloch of Plaidds and aunt of Robert M'Culloch his son(?). (Gt. Seal, IV., No. 681, when Robert styles Plaidds his avunculus. The son of this second marriage acquired from his maternal relatives the lands of Plaidds and the office of Hereditary Baillie of the Immunities of Saint Duthac of Tain.

By his first wife, daughter of William Meldrum of Fyvie, Robert of Rothmakenzie had issue, one son, 1. James, 2nd of Rothmakenzie and Crommey.

By his second marriage, with the daughter of Angus M'Culloch of Plaidds, he had further issue, 2. Alexander, of Plaidds and Cadboll, Constable of Orkney, Captain of Kirkwall Castle, and Hereditary Baillie of the Immunities of Tain [....]

3. John, who became a burgess of Elgin [....] 1. Beatrix, married Peter Winchester of Ardtrailzie [....]

He also had a bastard son, John, 'son natural of umqll Robert Innes of Rothmakenzie,' who sat on an assize re-garding the late Earl of Moray, 24 March; 1553. (Ib. I., 119.) Of his career we know nothing further, except that on 15 September 1551 he obtained Letters of Legitimation under the Privy Seal for himself and four of his own bastards, 1. Alexander, 2. Andrew, 3. Margaret, 4. Janet"
