Which Douglas line are you researching? Dates and places help making connections.
I am not sure, My grandmother used to comment about the black douglasses. I know that they had to change their name to Drysdale as a result of the king of the time. I have name but not what actual lines.

    Welcome to our Community Network, Deborah.

    There is a certain amount of evidence that there was a name change from Douglas to Drysdale in 1503 - you can read some of the story here>>>

    At least one Drysdale has had DNA tested, and whilst I am no expert, there appears to be a close relationship between the Douglases and the Drysdales.

    It would be good to hear how far back your line can be traced.

    Yours aye,

    William Douglas

    Hi Deb,

    My most recent Douglas ancestor is Mary "Polly" Douglas (b. abt. 1794 in Tennessee), daughter of Joseph & Margaret Douglas. Polly married William Fears in Grainger County, TN in 1809. Thanks for the greeting.
