QUIN, Julia ²

Julia married Rose McGONIGAL MS UNKNOWN.¹ (Rose McGONIGAL MS UNKNOWN was born about 1895.)

  Marriage Notes:

"Susannah (Morison). She married John Forbes, son of Sir William Forbes of Monymusk, by Barbara, daughter of Sir John Dalmahoy of that ilk. This John Forbes acquired, in 1711, the properties of Upper Boyndlie and Ladysford in Buchan. He espoused the cause of the Pretender in 1715, and was obliged to leave the country, embarking on board a vessel from Banff bound for Holland. He perished at sea, not without a suspicion of foul play, as he had a considerable sum of money in his possession. He was collector of the subsidy imposed on the Shire of Aberdeen, by order of the Earl of Mar. They had issue five sons and six daughters."

"As already stated, he lost his life in the rising of 1715-16. A brief memorial of him by his wife, Susanna Morison, is preserved at Fettercairn with other papers belonging to the Pitsligo family. It describes how he was very active in levying the Cess required by the Earl of Mar for the Jacobite army, and after the failure of the rising was obliged like others to ' sculk ' in the country, and in the month of November he left Scotland by ship 'and in a few days after was unluckily washed overboard and drowned, leaving four daughters, Christian, Barbara, Mary and Margaret, and three sons, Theodore, John and George, and his wife with child of a fifth daughter, who was born after his death and named Elizabeth.'

The landed estate of which he died possessed was worth £600 a year, and he had also a bond of money owing to him, to the extent of £4000, settled on his daughters, but his wife was much alarmed lest his estate should be declared forfeit in view of his Jacobite activities, and that the Whig landowners of Aberdeenshire from whom he had extracted double Cess might claim it again from him. This does not seem to have occurred, but Susanna was certainly poor for many years, and brought up her eight children with a struggle. Christian, the eldest, became the saintly wife of the 5th Baronet of Monymusk ; Barbara and Mary both lived to be nearly 90; Margaret married Charles Copland. Elizabeth married James Milne, and secondly, George Abernethy. Of the sons, Theodore, who succeeded his father, was a successful doctor in Banff. John was apprenticed to Mr. George Keith, the well-known advocate, and George was also college-bred.

John succeeded Theodore, and George succeeded John, to be followed by the latter's son and grandson, and then grand-daughter, Jane, who married John Ogilvie, son of Auchiries, and founded the family of Ogilvie-Forbes."
