      "Hugh of Teaninich married Christane daughter to William Cuthbert of Castlehill by whom he had Hugh next he married Munro of Tarlogies daughter."

      On 5 Jun 1644, Hugh received from Sir Robert Innes of that Ilk, a charter of confirmation of the lands of Teaninich alienated to him by his father in 1624.

      On 22 Dec 1649, he received at Elgin, a loan from James Farquhar, merchant of Aberdeen, in the amount of 5780 merks Scots. He was to repay the loan at the rate of 100 bolls per year with interest of 8%, delivering the goods free of charge to Alness beach between 1 Apr and 31 May each year. In security, Hugh put up all of his lands within the parish of Alness.

      Hugh made the annual payments until the debt was reduced to 3756 pounds when James Farquhar insisted upon being paid the full amount. Since Hugh couldn't come up with the money, James pressured him to sell Teaninich. Hugh finally did sell his estate to his cousin, Hugh Munro of Tearivan.
