Thank you William. I have found my computer to be stubborn. For the past couple of years I have become dependent upon secondary sources as travel for any distance is difficult. I make use of a book by Marshall who has abstracted the early wills and Administrations of Estates. In the index we find a reference to George Douglas who was an emigrant and came to Accomack County. The index gave the wrong page for him. However, I recently, I found the correct page. George was a witness to the will of Azariah Hunt who died in 1735. (Azariah Hunt had married Ann Willett, daughter of Capt William Willett.) We may presume George attended the funeral. We may presume George was born in England because he was a Burgess for Accomack County for most of his life. George had the reputation of being the finest lawyer in the county. His wife was a Drummond and came of a fine family. George was too old to have been a son of Lt Col Edward Douglas by either his first or second wife. He may very well been a first cousin to Azariah Hunt. The given names in this branch included Edward, George and James.
William Douglas
This seems to be the George mentioned below: https://douglashistory.ning.com/photo/albums/orange-county-court-re...
Seven children are listed. Might there also have been a George? Could he have been in the Second Virginia Calvary?
Among those the George Douglas in question served with were remnants of the Yeocomico Indians [Pinns and Redcross and Evans] whose descendants reside in Amherst and Nelson County and are members of the Monacan Indian Nation today.
As always, I am trying to build links.

Ref Douglas of Baads p.80
"......From the foregoing record it would appear to be reasonably certain that the George Douglas who migrated to America, as noted on Lord Chilston's private family pedigree, was the Col. George Douglas of Accomack."
