"It (what is known) consists of an account between the executors of Captain Thomas Innes, deceased, and the also deceased John Innes of Edingight. It appears, from a pencil note endorsed on the account, that Captain Thomas Innes was in the Royal Navy,and that he was killed in a duel at Jamaica in 1738. The account, 1750-51, is to show that his brother John, then recently dead, had been due him 1000 merks as his provision by a bond in Edingight, but, by outlay for his education at King's College, by his outfit on entering the service, and payment of bills and debts on his account, the provision had been satisfied, and a balance with interest to 1751 incurred amounting to £236 5s. 6d. As his mother, Helen Strachan's dowry was 4000 merks, probably this provision was one-fourth of that for the four brothers. He seems to have been a student at King's College 1722-24, at which date there is a formal docquet signed at Braco of the past account for his maintenance at College, bringing out a balance of his provision remaining at that time of £298 3s. Scots, the remainder of the amount is for payment of bills he had drawn at various dates in course of his service up to his death in 1738, by which, the balance of the account is transferred to the other side."
