from Genealogies of an Aberdeen Family 1540-1913




"John Forbes died April 11th, 1701, and was succeeded in the occupation of his farm by the third John in Templeton, who married, 1702, Sophia, sister of Mr. Andrew Ker, minister of Rafford, Morayshire (see Note below), and had three sons, Alexander, born 1705, and Harry, born 1716, died young, and John, born 1711, as well as four daughters, Jean, Anna and Barbara, died unmarried, and Elizabeth, born 1714, married William Ferguson, accountant, Edinburgh."

from House of Forbes

Note:

Andrew Ker was married to Sophia's sister Elizabeth, so was her brother-in-law, not her brother. He was minister of Rathven parish, Banffshire, not of Rafford parish, Moray.
The two sources above offer different years of marriage for the couple, hence the date here is noted as 'by 1704' rather than a fixed year.
