Lumsden refers to Duncan's wife as Margaret Forbes, who may have married a third time, but, given Duncan's daughter's name, it may have been Elizabeth. ¹

Elizabeth married John CALDER of Asloun, son of John CALDER of Asloun and Daughter FORBES.¹ (John CALDER of Asloun was born about 1508 and died after 1577.)

".... the John Calder who was the husband of Elizabeth Forbes of Towie who witnessed a document in 1549, the John Calder who exchanged lands with John Forbes of Towie in 1562, and the John Calder who was targeted by the Earl of Huntly in 1568 all seem likely to both be the same man."
