Arthur + Janet Auchinleck. Janet (daughter of (of Balmanno) Auchinleck) was born in 1521 in Tilquhillie, Kincardineshire, Scotland; died in 1552 in Tilquhillie, Kincardineshire, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

There is some evidence that James died before his mother, who ran the estates before Arthur took over.

James + Christian Forbes. Christian (daughter of (Laird of Tolquhone) Forbes) was born in 1493 in Tilquhillie, Kincardineshire, Scotland; died in 1563 in Tilquhillie, Kincardineshire, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

(a) The book "The History of the Family of Douglass of Tilwhilly" originally said "James Douglass, of Tilwhilly, who married ... Forbes, daughter of the laird of Tolquhone".

(b) A downloaded copy has been amended to say "James Douglass, of Tilwhilly, who married Christian Forbes, grand-daughter of the laird of Tolquhone".

(c) The book The Pedigree of Douglas of Tilquhilly" says "James Douglas married Christian Forbes, grand-daughter of the Laird of Tolquhone"

(d) The book "The Genealogy of the Family of Forbes", which includes a transcription of the 1580 manuscript by Matthew Lumsden of Tulliekerne says (p33, paraphrased): Sir John Forbes of Tolquhoun married ... Preston and had (among others) a son Duncan Forbes of Argeighten who married Christian Gordon, and had (among others) a son John Forbes of Terpersie, who married ... Leslie and had (among others) a daughter who married Alex Lumsden of Midstrath, then John Forbes of Cults, then James Douglas of Tilliequhillie, who bore to him Arthur Douglas, father to John Douglas of Tilliequhillie (who would have been living when the manuscript was written).

Notes:

His parentage is challenged by some historians

David Douglass, acquired the lands of Tilwhilly in Kincardineshire through his wife, Janet Ogston, to whom he was married in 1479, and who was the second daughter and co-heiress of Ogston of Fettercairn.

He quartered in the Ogstoun's arms with that of Douglass, and took the designation of Til- whilly, as his posterity have clone ever since. The family afterwards acquired the lands and Barronnies of Strickathro, Drimmie Syde, Milnden, Nathro, Bogside, and others in the County of Forfar.

David + Janet Ogston. Janet (daughter of Thomas (of Fettercairn and Tilguhilly) Ogston and Irvine) was born in 1467 in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland; died in 1529 in Tilquhillie, Kincardineshire, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

it now appears from information communicated
by Dr. Alexander Ogston, Professor of Surgery in the University of Aberdeen, that she was the second daughter and coheiress (with a sister whose name is not known), of Thomas Ogston of Kirklands, of Fettercairn. This Thomas Ogston is believed to have been uncle to Walter Ogston of Ogston.

Notes:

Married:
The marriage date is probably 1479, but this throws into question their birth dates.

Notes:

Christian's father may not have been the Laird, but the son, or even the great grandson of the Laird of Tolquhone, who was the 1st Laird, Sir John Forbes, floruit circa 1400
