It was thanks to the marriage of James to Margaret Ker that his Great Grandson, Sir James Innes, won the legal battle to take over the title of Duke of Roxburghe. He changed the name to Innes-Ker and carried this name forward to the present Duke of Roxburghe, who resides at Floors Castle, Kelso, Scotland.
The Ker family is thought to have descended from John Ker of the Forest of Selkirk and later became the Kers of Cessford and Roxburgh.
Having been Wardens of the Middle March during the Border Wars with England, the Ker family and their branches, had castles and defended houses throughout the area. No fewer than fifteen different Ker households were in the area in the sixteenth century, being responsible for most of area between Kelso and the English Border.
Sir Robert Ker of Cessford was created Lord Roxburghe in 1599, and a Dukedom was created in 1707.

24 Chief of Clan Innes. Built tall white mansion of Innes in 1646. received Charles II at the Port of Garmouth which he founded in 1650 (?) In the spring of 1655, as we learn from the Privy Council Register, Sir Robert Innes of Innes, Hugh Rose of Kilravock, and Thomas Kinnaird, yr. of Culbin, came into conflict with the lawless men of Petty. Acting on a commission from the Privy Council they had apprehended two "of that wicked crew" with a view to their appearance on trial at Edinburgh. A hue and cry was raised in the district. Angus Mackintosh, brother of the laird of Connage, gathered around him a company of some thirty men, Hecto McLauchlan Ger McIntosh, Lauchlan McLauchlan Ger, his brother, half a dozen McEacherns, and others, "all bodin in feir of war," and armed with swords and pistols, upon the design to rescue "the said sorners and thie ves." The Justices had conveyed the prisoners to Castle Stewart, where the Countess of Moray was then residing. Angus Mackintosh proceeded to attack or to make a realistic pretence of attacking the castle, placed some of his men in a barn by way of ambush, himself with the remainder advanced towards the house and threatened and abused the servants, presenting pistols to their breasts. He even presented a "bendit pistol ready to fire" at the justices, declaring that he should shoot the best of them through the head. Fortunately the pistol was timeously wrested from his hand, and the captors continued their journey with the prisoners, Angus Mackintosh and his followers pursuing them to Nairn, "using all the violence they could to rescue the said thieves." Having failed to accomplish this design, they sought to vent their spite upon those who had thwarted them. On one particular occasion some of the men of Petty came in a hostile manner (under the command of Callum Illach) to the burn of Brodie, with the intention of killing or robbing Thomas Kinnaird. They seized Wm. Brodie and threatened to kill him, but the alarm was raised. The laird of Brodie tolled the common bell. The men of the parish hastily obeyed the summons, and "the louse and brokan persons w e rescattered and dissipat." Nevertheless they succeeded for some time in keeping the country in "a continual fright and allarum."
