William married Jean JOHNSTON, daughter of John JOHNSTON of that Ilk and Janet TURING.¹ (Jean JOHNSTON was born about 1595.)

Marriage Notes:

"Jean (Johnston), married to William Forbes of Knapernay, (descended of the family of Tolquhoun,) by whom she had a family....."

from Family of Johnston

Note:

House of Forbes, somewhat confusingly, states that

"William (Forbes), 2nd of Knappernay, married Janet Turing of Foveran and Jean Johnston of Caskicben",

confusingly because the mother of Jean Johnston, her father's first wife was named Janet Turing.
