I have already found a message from you on another Scottish website regarding James 1697. I am descended from his brother George. William Douglas and Janet Wetherspoon were my 7th Great Grandparents. Julie

I did some work a while ago on Douglases from Cockpen. We did not break through the 'brick wall', but made some progress.
There is a list of names here>>>

Yours aye,
