Russ,
Re the settlers, do you know what the abbreviations Ch B and Adj L mean?

Adj L: James DOUGLAS
the map locating Lewis lot , which Douglas was adjoining
This is rather interesting, and rather long .

Patti, that is very interesting.
You might light to look at this Saunders Family History
Russell,
Is Judith Moorman's husband John Bruce Douglas (1698-1761)?
"Douglass, John 1698 - Edinburgh, Midlothian, , Scotland 1761 - Barboursville, Orange, Virginia, United States"
The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.
Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.
Professions also help.
'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.
Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
