  General Notes:

"He (Lewis Innes) died at Paris on the 23d of Januarv 1738. In answer to a letter from his brother Thomas, communicating the intelligence of his decease, the Chevalier expressed his concern that he had lost a most faithful servant, who possessed a capacity and zeal for his service not always to be found in the same person. Thirty-seven years before, similar testimony had been borne by the Chevalier's father to the zeal, discretion , and affection of Lewis Innes ."

from Memoir




"Lewis Innes was a man of the greatest prudence, and during the years that he acted as Almoner to the Chevalier he was often employed on matters of great delicacy. He received into his charge the original memoirs written by King James II., which form the principal sourceof information of the reign of that monarch, and it is generally thought that Father Innes was the author of the Life of James that was later compiled, for the original papers were long at the Scots College."
