Charlewood family tree

was a Scottish nobleman. He was the eldest surviving son of Sir Henry
Innes, 5th Baronet (c. 1711-1762), and Anne Drummonda Grant
(1711-1771). He succeeded to the Baronetcy on his father's death.
Through the Innes family, he was a descendant of Robert Ker, 1st Earl
of Roxburghe, and in 1812 established his claim to the vacant Dukedom
of Roxburghe. The 4th Duke had died childless in 1805, leaving the title
dormant. James took the name Innes-Ker, and became the 5th Duke of
Roxburghe. Among the his rival claimants to the Dukedom was John
Bellenden Ker (c. 1765-1842), famous as a wit and botanist and the
author of Archaeology of Popular Phrases and Nursery Rhymes
(1837), whose son was the legal reformer Charles Henry Bellenden
Ker (c. 1785-1871). Roxburghe married twice. In 1769 he married
Mary Wray, who died in 1807. That same year he married Harriet
Charlewood. He had one son by this second marriage, James, who
succeeded to the Dukedom on his death. Portraits of the Duke and
his second Duchess were painted by Henry Raeburn, and hang in the
entrance hall of the family seat of Floors Castle in the Scottish
Borders.
