(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).
