Earls of Angus red Douglas line my tree ancestry.com jstoddard191 look at Rust tree, its public
Margaret Douglas Stewart, my G G G Grandmother, Deeside, married Alexander Rust, John Rust's mother, ancestor of Sir James Douglas via Margaret Douglas Stewart, I would love to see a family tree that My G.G.Grand father John Rust came from Aberdeen in 1851 to New Zealand and married Isobel Mearns also from Montrose
the ancestral connection is written in the History book written by Alexandar Rust (Johns son) "Whangarei and Districts Early Reminiscences" 1935 , now republished; Johns father was also an Alexander Rust.
my Great Grandmother was Rosalind/Rose Turney (nee Rust ..John's daughter) in Aberdeen early 1800s cousins were Abernethy also Donald, Tower, Simson, wyllie, webster, Fowler , stewart, Stuart

I think the Rusts on this site are American?
I looked for a link to Sir James Douglas of Canada, but found none.

Hi Jackie.
Dont know if my first try at posting a comment was sucessful, so here goes again.
As you will have seen I am told that I am related to the Black Douglases but unfortunately cannot prove it...yet.
However my son David married a Stewart a 5 years ago, so maybe we are related somewhere along the line?
Regards
Ken Douglas
