- Which Douglas line are you researching? Dates and places help making connections.
- Thomas Douglas died 1503 just before the battle with Johnstones in the parish of Dryfsdale, Dumfreisshire. I have drawn a blank as to his spouse and parentage. The family led by Thomas William & James changed their name to Drysdale and took up residence in the Dollar area. I have not been able to trace their decendants.

Hi Christopher,
With reference to your post of 30-8-2022, I would agree with you that Captain Andrew Drysdale may have been one of the first genuine immigrant settlers to arrive in Australia, however, before him there were a number of prior convict settlers - see here:
Re your second post on 30-8-2022
Help to establish the Drysdale name and decendents after Thomas Douglas died in 1503
Your search for the missing link between Douglas and Drysdale has been the objective of many competent Drysdale & Douglas researchers over the years but it has not, as yet, been found, the '1503' document that circulates online is obviously not genuine & this has been discussed at great length on this and other forums.
You say you have traced your "lineage back to Jhone Drysdale born abt 1560 in Aloa clackmannan" - in this respect, I suggest you forget about what Ancestry has to say on this subject and log into the FamilySearch website where virtually all the known (and documented) Drysdales in the 1400s & 1500s may be found in the tree with the root person "Mr Drysdale" b. circa 1410 ID reference G2S7-JYJ.
Best regards
