According to the Register of Sasines, Auchenfroe was acquired by Walter McInnes (c.1756-1827) a merchant in Grenada and the Grenadines in 1825 from Margaret Gray. McInnes's nephew, John McInnes (1786-1835), a Grenada planter and merchant, acquired the property at his uncle's death. Isabella Moines (nee Urquhart) lived at Auchenfroe until the 1850s.
