BOYNDLIE

Boyndlie is in the parish of Tyrie, Aberdeenshire. Boyndlie House lies six miles SW of Faserburgh.

John married Susanna MORISON, daughter of George MORISON 2nd of Bognie, and of Frendraught and Christian URQUHART.¹ (Susanna MORISON was born about 1681.)

  Marriage Notes:

"Susannah. 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."
