Would some kind and knowledgeable person, tell me any information regarding the family after whom Innes Road in Gloucester, Carleton County, Ontario, Canada is named? I presume that he was a early settler of the area, and perhaps a member of an early council. I stand to be corrected.

This is not a well researched answer, but I can tell you that using the tools at : http://digital.library.mcgill.ca/Countyatlas/showtownship2.php?townshipid=gloucester there were no families named Innes in the Ottawa area about 1880 - or at least listed in the county atlases. Also checking the 1871 census, online at the archives, shows no Innes families east of Kingston. I don't know the actual origin of the Innes Road name, but closely inspecting the map at the link above shows no Innes families along that road. Many of the roads are named after landowners listed on the map and next to the road. Obviously I cannot tell if these were named after the owners listed here or other people of the same names.

Not to far away in March Township, District of Johnstown there was a Robert Innes mentioned in 1823 as the Assessor. I don't have a clue if he was associated with the road though.
