Encyclopedia > Thomas Innes

Thomas Innes (1662 - 1744) was a Scottish historian.


He was descended from an old Roman Catholic family of Aberdeenshire. He studied in Paris at the Scots College, of which he became Principal. He was the author of two learned works, Critical Essay on the Ancient Inhabitants of the Northern Parts of Britain (1729), and Civil and Ecclesiastical History of Scotland, 80 to 818 (published by the Spalding Club, 1853).

This article is originally from A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature.

Innes (1156 words)
Innes and Murray were very intimate, for, next to Thomas Clarke, Innes was Murray’s best friend in the colony; Murray and Rutherfurd, as we shall see, came to the Cape Fear together and worked together for twenty-five years.
Innes played a prominent part in civil life also and served his colony in many capacities, but his aptitudes were military rather than civil and he never became a political leader or a seeker for offices.
Innes was born about 1700; she may have been a few years younger.
