    Welcome to our group, Kathleen.

    It would be helpful if you could put events, dates and places to Frank Johnson so that I, and others who may have him in their family, can ties in and share information.

    Did he have a son,  William Eagles Douglas, or is that another man?

  • William Douglas

    This is what I have:
    William Eagles Douglas (15 Sep 1912 California - 1 Feb 1989 Contra Costa, California, United States)
    Son of Martha Singler and Frank Johnson Douglas. Helen Martha Singler's parents were Rudolph Singler (born 1852 in Altdorf,B aden-Württemberg,Germany) and Maria Magdalena Frey (born 1851 in Altdorf, Baden-Württemberg,Germany. They emigrated to New York in the 1860's.

    William married Claire, daughter of George Blalock Putnam, who owned property in the Oak park area of Pleasant Hill. William and Claire raised their family there.

    This may be the George Blalock Putnam (17 May 1888- 1 Dec 1953) who is the son of George Augustus Putnam. He had a daughter, Anita Claire, presumably the same Claire as above.

    George Blalock Putnam Concord, Contra Costa County
    He is 52 (in 1940) WA CA CA and a farm inspector-horticulturalist. His wife Frances Catherine Vessing is 54 CA and they have Robert Kemble 25 CA. He is a son of George Albert Putman and Grace Amy Brackett. He was born in Walla Walla, Washington May 7, 1888 and will die here Contra Costa County December 1, 1953. Frances was born in Alameda County January 21, 1886 and will die in Almeda January 24, 1964. This is a New York Dutch Putman family from Montgomery County New York.

    So, nothing (yet) on the Douglas ancestry.
