John was the son of William Innes from Sandside in Caithness.
John Henderson ( below ) also states that William Innes of Sandside had another son named William. This William is my confirmed ancestor.
From the book Caithness Family History by John Henderson.
John, who in 1626 is mentioned as an Officer in the troops raised by Sir Donald M'Kay for the King of Denmark, and who is said to have obtained the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel
From the EBook "The Memoirs of James, Marquis of Montrose",
" Sir John Innes " we have not been able to identify as to his parentage. He signed Montrose's bond at Oxford, and went with him to York and Durham. See Napier, Mem. of Mont., ii.
1 19, and Macbrayre's letter, Napier, Mem., 389. He is sent with Sir John Hurry to invite Huntlyto a conference, they being " two persons of the most eminent character in his (Montrose's) army, and who would be acceptable to Huntly" (Chap. xxi. infra). Several of the cadet families of Innes were King's men, such as Leuchars, Coitts, and Coxton, though Innes of Innes was a supporter of Argyll, and a Lieutenant-Colonel John Innes commanded a regiment of horse on the Covenant side (Spalding, ii. 432). Alexander Innes of the Leuchars family, connected with Buckingham and
Strafford, and engaged in communicating with the Queen, writes from Oxford, June 27, 1643, saying that his brother Robert has been committed by Parliament, and that James is a prisoner at Windsor. John Innes of Leuchars signs the Kilcummin Bond. There are several Innes names in the long list of those receiving " assurances" from Middleton in 1646, where " Harie Graham " and more than one John Ogilvy and James Ogilvy occur in Act. Parl. Scot., vol. vi. pt. i. 669. " John Innes, a rebel," submits, 15th May 1647, to the Commission of the General Assembly at Aberdeen (Gen. Assemb.
Rec., 249)
