  Marriage Notes:

"Forbes (original author of Ane Account of the Familie of Innes), founding, no doubt, on a family tradition or family pedigree equally fallacious, inserts here a 'Good Sir Robert,' whom he marries to Dame Janet, the heiress of Aberchirder. Good Sir Robert, he says, was brother to the Bishop, and father to Sir Walter. The charter of James II. (1450) which he quotes in support of the latter statement, is lost, but seems only to have proved that Walter was the son of Janet of Aberchirder, which we readily believe, as we find that estate now for tlie first time among the possessions of the family. We can hardly doubt that Sir Walter was the son of Alexander, by the heiress of Aberchirder." (pages 68 and 69)
