    It is hard work searching here, but it might prove useful.

    Let us know of any successes!

  • William Douglas

    “Jane daughter of Dennis and Elizabeth Douglass, orphan of a soldier born on high seas, her father killed at Monte Vidas, 38th Reg., September 11, 1807.”

    The above is extracted from the Ireland section of 'My Southern Families', by Hiram Kennedy Douglass
