I have ancestry I can help if needed

I am a descendent of the John Douglas mentioned in the book "Douglas Genealogy: The Descendants of John Douglas of Middleborough, Massachusetts: Douglas Nobility of Scotland" by Joseph Lufkin Douglas (it is free to download if you are curious, it is now public domain). Whether or not we are actually linked to Douglas nobility is still a question for me as he does not actually mention who John Douglas's father is. However, he was supposedly kidnapped and brought to the U.S. in approximately 1707 where he lived in Boston, and later when to live in Middleborough, Massachusetts.

My great grandfather was Born in Pickering TP, Ontario Canada abt1863 and Immigrated to Cleveland, Ohio (where the family stayed put) from Ireland. No info on his death, immigration or death time or place (though my father remembers him being a one armed shipyard foreman.) He was born to a George Douglas (b 1831, d. 1915) who immigrated to Canada from Cumberland, England. I think his fathers name was Andrew, but my ancestry.com free trail ended without me finding certainty. Any one out there connected or have any info?
