Sarah,
How the Douglases came to be in Co. Wicklow in the 18th century, I dont know, but the Scots settled in Ireland as Undertakers part of the Plantation of Ulster, and William's family may be descended from them.
Research on the Douglases in Wicklow seems thin, espcialy in and around 1779, but there are a couple of interesting threads on later members of the family:

Happy hunting!

The earliest record for our branch of the Douglas family in Co Wicklow is the baptism of William Douglas in 1779. I dont know when we came to this area or why we came here.

Good luck Tammie! Please let us know how it goes with your DNA results..I am fascinated..Have you tried Scotandspeople.gov.uk in any of your searches to date, or Findmypast.co.uk ? Are you on any of the main sites like Ancestry.com.au? I'm about to pay for a subscription and will take a look for you in Australia. I am also 'stuck' with my other Scottish side, McFarlane, but won't give up...Hopefully paying as I go with Scotand's people, I'll have some success before long.
