Marriage Notes:
"Forbes of Waterton, Parish of Ellon, Aberdeenshire
Virtute inimica quies - (Inactivity is an enemy to virtue).
The first of this family was Thomas Forbes, who inherited Waterton from his father- William Forbes of Tolquhon, in the parish of Tarves, Aberdeenshire, by his marriage in 1580 with J. Ogilvie of Banff. The Forbeses of Tolquhon, who were celebrated for their loyalty to the Stuarts, were one of the oldest and most influential branches of the noble family of Forbes - married Jean, sister of Sir Gilbert Ramsay, Baronet, of Balmain, and was slain by the Kennedys of Kermuck in 1652."
