"Alexander Calder of Asloun is mentioned in 1615 and 1617, and was presumably John's elder son. However, in 1641 John Forbes is named as laird of Asloun, and Robert Forbes in 1653, indicating that the Calders had moved on or otherwise lost the estate. This happened in 1625, when James Calder of Asloun assigned the reversion of the estate to John Forbes of Balnagask, the second son of the laird of Balfluig."
