General Notes:
"1665. Jeane Ramsay summons Sir James Strachan of Thornetoun, complaining that, soon after the death of Ehzabeth Forbes, his wife, he had neglected his affairs, and abandoned his three children - James, Jean, and Strachan - whom the said Jean Ramsay, their grandmother, had taken in, and educated. She requires that he should make her an allowance for the same."
from Memoranda relating to the Family of Waterton 2
Jean married Thomas FORBES of Waterton, son of William FORBES 8th of Tolquhon and Janet OGILVY.1 (Thomas FORBES of Waterton was born about 1595 and died in 1652.)
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."
