FORBES, William 12th Lord Forbes ¹

   User ID: W184.

  General Notes:

Clan MacFarlane genealogy quotes Burke's Peerage that Francis "died at age 12 when title devolved on his uncle".

  Research Notes:

12TH or 13TH LORD Forbes

In some presentations of this family, the Capuchin monk, John Forbes, the son of John Forbes and Lady Margaret Gordon, is not counted as the 9th Lord Forbes. This has the effect of putting all the following Lord Forbes one place out in their designation.

William married Anne BRODIE, daughter of James BRODIE 16th of that Ilk and Mary KER, in 1680.¹ (Anne BRODIE was born about 1661.)

  Marriage Notes:

"He (William Forbes) married, in 1680, Anne, daughter of James Brodie of Brodie, by whom he had three sons and one daughter"
