Henrik Forbes was likely a grandson of Henry Forbes of Thainstone. By 1657 he was a councillor in Uleåborg (Oulu in Finland) suggesting he had been resident there for sometime. That year he ordered salt, tobacco, bar-iron, clothes, cloth, socks and numerous other items as well as being involved with some proceedings regarding salt with the Momma-Reenstierna family. He participated in the 1678 Riksdag at Halmstad and 1680 Riksdag in Stockholm, representing the town of Uleaborg in the burgess estate. Forbes later wrote to Jakob Momma-Reenstierna hoping to be recommended for [military?] service while working as a burgess in Uleå. Whether through his influence or not, a man of that name later turned up as a regimental quartermaster in G. von Bunau's 'sammansatta' Swedish cavalry regiment in 1672. Henrik had several sibblings including Peter [SSNE 6343], Olof [SSNE 2251], Jakob [SSNE 375], Johan [SSNE 2246] and Nils [SSNE 2250].
