My comments are based on unevidenced research by others where it is stated that Rev. William Douglas, by his wife Nicholas Hunter, had a son, Captain William James Douglas, born 1733, who was an army officer who was killed at the battle of the Plains of Abraham on 13th September 1759. He was a widower, his wife probably dieing in childbirth, and left a daughter, Jane, who married Captain Thomas Condon Mellish.

Welcome to our group, Kevin.
Presumably it was not Jane at Loiusburg? Perhaps that was Thomas Mellish of Prince Edward Island?
Did Jane marry twice?
Yours aye,
William

I think Jane may have been the grand daughter of Rev William Douglas: http://www.douglashistory.co.uk/history/william_douglas15.htm

I have no source evidence for my 'thinking'.

But, to repeat, I have seen no evidence.
