   User ID: V768.

  General Notes:

A case was heard before the courts in Britain in 1830, after the death of Mrs Forbes, to settle disputes regarding bequests contained in the will of Major General John Forbes HEICS. The trust deed of settlement established by John Forbes appointed his estate to be divided into fifths, four fifths to be shared equally by each of his four natural children after the death of his widow, and if one or more of them had died by their heirs; if there were no heirs the share was to be be divided among the surviving children. (Session Cases)




"Sacred to the Memory of Alexander Forbes, son of Major General John Forbes, who departed this life at Sooksaugur on the 16th day of November, A.D. 1823 aged 45 years 4 months and 2 days leaving his afflicted
wife Fanny Forbes and children to deplore his loss, who erected this monument as a tribute of esteem and regard to a most pious, affectionate and fond beloved husband.
'The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord'."
