You may have found our page on Cockpen, but it still leaves lots of questions. Some of these are discussed in this forum. If you use the search function (top right) you should turn up some of them.
Was 'your' John born in 1674? Or is that just a general date?
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?

Thank you for the chart.
I think two separate families is the best rationale, but still seems a coincidence
Working on the Douglas family of Leith, I came across this: http://www.tilleyenterprises.com/GedHTree/ghtout/gp2155.htm#head4
It is too late to work on this tonight...
I have only just picked up your attachment and will have a further look at it in the next couple of gays.
