  • William Douglas

    List of the Ydna Haplogroups of Scottish clan (and grayne) chieftain lineages. There are definitely other recorded lines, not just these. A few R1b-L21s, especially L1065 among the Highlanders, which is unsurprising. Clear evidence for viking and other ancient origins also. The list was put together by the founder of https://www.eupedia.com/

  • William Douglas

    From a recent post on Wikipedia:

    Archibald of Douglas is thought to have married Margaret, daughter of Sir John Crawford of Crawfordjohn and had issue:

    William of Douglas (c.1220–c.1274)
    A second son; Andrew , is often attributed to Archibald of Douglas, although without primary evidence, arguably due to this Andrew's possession of the lands of Hermiston; said lands previously held by Archibald. However an Andrew de Douglas was a known Knight of Archibald de Douglas and never proven as his biological son.  Recent Y-DNA research analysis published in 2013 by Alexandrina Murray, Administrator of the Murray Clan DNA Research Project  and via the Douglas Y-DNA project at Family Tree DNA administered by Kirk Douglas, which results were discussed at the University of St Andrews Scotland Conference: Scotland and the Flemish People during May of 2016. This Y-DNA research has proven that the haplogroup R1b descendants of Andrew Douglas of Hermiston do not match the known descendants of Archibald Douglas via Archibald's son William above haplogroup R1a, through the ennobled Scottish line of the Earls; Dukes and Marquess' of Queensberry line of Douglas. 

    Nor do they match the I2b1 Y-DNA haplogroup of the noble Douglas-Hamilton line the most senior Douglas family as Dukes of Hamilton, also noted in the historical literature as being descended from the original progenitor - William l de Douglas ; 1140 -1214 circa. 

    Therefore William Douglas and Andrew Douglas were definitely unrelated paternally if the published genealogical trees are correct, with Andrew de Douglas of Hermiston possibly receiving Hermiston lands as a reward due to his services as a Knight of Archibald de Douglas as argued by Alexandrina Murray.
