Samuel Townsend Douglass is in my database. I am missing information to understand how you descend from him. Would you share? I have quite a bit of information about Samuel's lineage and will share gladly.
Julie Hornung of the Wm Douglas b. abt 1610 research group descends from Benjamin and then Gilbert Denison Douglass.
There was another Samuel Townsend Douglass, b. 1853, son of Silas Hamilton Douglass, brother of your Samuel Townsend Douglass. I presume you know about him.
and now the gang is all here, well, the male portion that went to Chautauqua county, NY anyway :-).
I don't have much info on your ancestor, but you are welcome to it. I even started tracing the oldest brother, Edmund and his line, so have more on that line.
I don't suppose you have any photos do you? About 5 years ago someone was going to do a book on Chautauqua county sherrifs and they didn't have any for either Gilbert of Benjamin. I have very few old photos. (my Douglas was my great grandmother, Rachel)

Are you related to us through a female Douglass?
