  Marriage Notes:

"Thomas (Innes) III., so far as known the only son of Thomas the II. of Edingight.

Hitherto the family seems to have prospered and added to its possessions, but this Thomas died early before his father, leaving a widow and an only son, whose life was by no means prosperous, and who even in infancy was a party to litigation.

Thomas became III. of Edingight in his father's life by a charter 1611, by which his father conveyed to him and his wife, Janet Innes, on their marriage, Wester Croylet and Mosstown and Edingight, reserving his life-rent.

Thomas the younger died before his father, as in 1621 we have letters of horning in an action by Robert Innes Burgess, of Elgin, father of his widow, against his father, Thomas II., for her provision and that of her son John, under her marriage contract. What the provisions of her marriage contract may have been is not known, but as they were secured by the charter conveying the lands, it is to be supposed there was not much difficulty in obtaining this horning to enforce them."
