from Fasti Ecclesiae

Note:

House of Forbes says that Thomas Forbes, like his brothers 'died without issue', and Memorials of the Families of Lumsdaine says that the father of Isobel Forbes who married the Robert Lumsden mentioned above was 'John Forbes of Tulloch'. These two sources have been followed on this site rather than the Fasti source. ^{1 5 6}
