"Robert Laird of Innes, as said is, marryed Dame Anne Elphinstoun, daughter to Alexander Lord Elphinstoun Lord High Theasurer, by whom he had Sir Robert Innes who succeeded him and Sir John Innes of Cromy, his second son and father to Sir Robert of Muirtoun, and three daughters, married to the Laird of Guthre, George Monro of Miltoun, and Bishop Douglass." (page 41)

"So this young Crombie, the son of him that was murdered, being but ane young man, who had none of the name of Innes to own him save this people of Leuchars, to wit, John, Alexander, and Adam Inneses, three brethren, all the rest being confederate with Innermarkie ; neither had he any friends on his mother side near to him save the Dunbars of Meft, this gleed Laird's mother being Beatrix Dunbar daughter to the Pryor of Pluscarden (for the relict of Crombie being his second Lady, was Isobel Forbes, daughter to Blacktoune). So Leuchars maintains this Crombie or Laird Innes as he was afterwards, with hazard of his own and brethren's lives, not knowing when they might be all murdered, till he got him convoyed to Edinburgh, and there craved the protection of the Government, which was given. And thereafter marries the said Gleed Laird upon Elizabeth, Secretarie Elphlnstone's daughter. So the Laird became valiant in law and friends.(page 199)
