"Fordyce (Robert), the sixth surviving son of Provost George Fordyce of Aberdeen and Elizabeth Brown his second wife, was born at Eggie in the Parish of Belhelvie, and baptized 26th June, 1726. He was bred to the hosiery business...... He was Dean of Guild of Aberdeen in 1752, and from 1755 onwards, was frequently chosen as one of the Baillies. He was married in 1756 to Anne Reid, daughter of Hugh Reid of Sydserff in East Lothian, M.D., and Anne Richardson his wife. She survived him. They had three sons and four daughters. It seems probable that in 1760 Baillie Fordyce was in partnership with John Dingwall of Rannieston, and in 1765 with Anthony Ferguson, afterwards of the Customs in Dublin, his brother-in-law, another son-in-law of Dr. Keid of Sydserff."
