Which Douglas line are you researching? Dates and places help making connections.
James Douglas born in Scotland 1797, exact location unknown. Died 1867 in Drumallroney, county Down, Northern Ireland. He was a shoemaker as well as his six sons. Son Joseph Douglas born 1841, married Mary Jane Henning in 1863. They immigrated to the U.S. in the 1870’s. I’m struggling to find where in Scotland James was born.

Wrong generation, I know, but there may be something behind that?
I will dig around a bit.
Yours aye,
