INNES, James in Thornton, then of Mosstown 1
- Born: About 1663
- Died: by 1724 1
User ID: H888.
General Notes:
"Of the second son James little is recorded ; he is described as 'in Thornton,' and in 1700, by the deed just referred to, his father conveyed to him the town and lands of Mosstown, formerly 'Crannat Strype,' which apparently were held under separate titles and were considered as the appanage of a younger son. And in 1707, James discharges his eldest brother John for the 'Bairn's part of goods and gear he might be entitled to on his father's death.' James appears to have died about 1722-24, as in 1725 we have a decree against his youngest brother Thomas, probably as his representative, by the Commissary of Banffshire, in respect of his occupation of the lands of Braco, for vicarage dues owing to the minister of Grange."
