from History of the Province of Moray
"Duncan Forbes of Culloden, born November 10th, 1685, Lord President of the Court of Session, to whose labours more than to those of any man was it due that the Jacobite Rising of 1745-46 was a failure.
Duncan married Mary, daughter of Hugh Rose of Kilravock, and had one son, John, who succeeded him. He died December 10th, 1747, having- been very badly treated by the Hanoverian Government, for whom he had done so much, which refused even to refund the money he had expended in its defence, though his son afterwards received a pension."
