    Welcome to the network, Tammie.

    A couple of years ago, you told me about your ggg Grand father Orr Douglass, who was born in 1808 Troqueer Parish Kirkcudbright Scotland, Other children born in Blackshaw Caerlaverock Dumfrieshire Scotland. Joseph was sent to Australia from Airdree Farm in the parish of Kirkbean as a Convict in 1815 on the Baring assigned to Sir John Jamison 'the colony only Knight the Regentville Penrith Australia' (sic).

    Joseph's story is a fascinating one.  A version is contained in the Douglas archives, but a fuller one can be found here: http://members.pcug.org.au/~pdownes/douglass/index.htm

    It is a good read.
