Carol, can you tell us more about Donald Kenneth Douglas? Dates and places associated with family events would be useful.  Then maybe we can track him down.

Yours aye,

William

I have a Donald Douglas, 24, single, Blacksmith, who settled in the District of Pictou in the spring of 1816. Donald Douglas had 2 large grants on the east side of Middle River between Rocklin & Concord Mills but apparently hadn't quite settled there by 1817.  In the 1817 census, he was married with a son and a daughter.  If he was 24 in  1816, he would have been born in 1792.  But that seems too early if your Donald's son married in 1883. 

Elsewhere, it is noted that a Donald Douglass came to Pictou in the ship Harmony in 1822. It may be the Donald who in 1838 is described as a farmer with 7 children.  There is no mention of Donald Douglas (one S).

Hi Carol,

Welcome to the site. If you follow this link you will find a picture of your Great Great Grandfather Donald (the first one in the list) and his wife Elisabeth Jackson, http://cemetery.canadagenweb.org/ON/ONS15559/

I am also researching a Donald Douglas in Ontario Canada but mine comes from the Acton area which is on the opposite end of Toronto from Markham. I don't know that the two Donald's are related at this point.

I don't live in that area but may be able to help in your Canadian search.

Cheers

Harold

PS: as an aside, both Harold Dixon Douglas who posted on your wall and I are named after his Uncle and my Great Uncle Harold Dixon Douglas.
