And as I understand, there´s an obligation to send mail to the group. Here´s my answer earlier to Howard. When Alexander Innes made his testament in 1811, he left the sum of fifty Pounds Sterling to the daughters of his half sister Sara Tarras, who had passed away. Sara was married to Alexander Robinson, and their daughters were Margaretha, Bathia and Elisabeth. Sara Tarras husband might be the man who was the witness in your story. Alexander Innes is an old ancestor to my wife. His father was Robert Innes, town clerk of Banff. My wife and I has planned a trip to Banff, where we will arrive on the 3d of Jan that is within a few days. Can you give us some good clues where to find out more about the Innes family in Banff. Are there any local archives that we could visit? Thanks for interesting information and have a good Christmas! In swedish that is God Jul och Gott Nytt År! Regards Kaj Andersson
