"In 1720 John Innes 'younger' but VII. of Edingight married Jean eldest daughter of Patrick Duff of Craigston. Apparently his father was then dead, as his contract is with consent of his grandfather John Innes V. of Edingight .... Patrick Duff of Craigston by the marriage contract gives his daughter a dowry of 3500 merks in full of all claims at his decease and that of her mother Ann Innes. The marriage contract is witnessed by William Scott, Provost of Banff, husband of the bridegroom's aunt Helen, and by James Innes in Thornton and Thomas Innes in Muiryfold, his uncles."

from Innes of Edingight




"The Provost from 1744 to 1748, whose wife was Jean Duff of Craigston (married in 1720), was John Innes of Edingight."
