Note:
A daughter of Sir John Ogilvy of Lintrathen married William Forbes, heir of Pitsligo who died vita patris. Her name is given as Mariota by The Scots Peerage, volume four, and House of Forbes, chapter XXVI. A later Christian Ogilvy married John Forbes of Pitsligo.

Volume one (not Volume six, as noted in the sources for the article) of The Scots Peerage has a Christian Ogilvy marrying Alexander Forbes of Pitsligo. "Christian, stated to have been married to Sir Alexander Forbes of Pitsligo." This does not appear to be supported elsewhere, except possibly in Matthew Lumsden where the husband of "the Lord Ogilvie's daughter" is named as Alexander.

The given name Marion may be a variation of Mary or Mary Ann, and Mariota may be Marjory or Margaret. They are similar but not necessarily the same name. ^{1 2 5}

John next married Isobel FORBES.³ (Isobel FORBES was born about 1435 and died after 1 August 1489 ³.)
