House of Forbes
This family history and genealogical data about the Forbes family of Scotland from about 1271 A.D. to the present utilizes research accumulations of past genealogists as well as critical analysis. The 1937 edition published by the Third Spalding Club was researched and edited by Alistair and Henrietta Tayler. Additions of the later members of the House of Forbes are drawn from the 1987 reprint. Pedigree charts of 30 of the Forbes families of Scotland are included, and 16 of these are discussed in the text. Some descendants emigrated to England, Ireland, Australia, the United States and elsewhere.
Part I. The Lords Forbes from 1 to 23
-
John, Brother Archangel the Second
(Note: In 1955 The Lord Lyon King of Arms determined that John, originally the 9th Lord, could not inherit the title since he was a monk. Therefore, his brother inherited the title. Therefore, the numeric designations in the 1937 edition were off by one starting with the 9th Lord Forbes. This has been noted this iteration.) -
