Personal Info
He was designed of Brims in 1610 and received from his father in 1589 a charter of Mybster, Acalipster, and a twopenny land of Spittal. In 1569 he appears as son of William in contradistinction to the sons of Margaret Innes, who were minors in 1588. He is styled lawful son and put after Henry and David in 1598 when he is designed of Mybaster. In 1620 he was served heir to his brothers Henry and David, and is "of Brims."7
If he was a lawful son and older than William, son of Margaret Innes, he would also be his father's heir, which he clearly was not.
