Charles Alexander Binns (1763-1837), the second clerk of court of Leesburg, Virginia, married Hannah Douglass, the daughter of William Douglass, Sheriff of Loudoun County.
His grandfather (Charles Binns), his father (Charles Binns, Jr.), and his brother William all owned Rokeby in Leesburg. During the burning of Washington in 1814, the U.S. National treasures (the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Articles of Conferation) were housed in the vault in the basement of their estate. The first Charles Binns married Anne Alexander. Her father was a Scotsman named John Alexander for whom the city of Alexandria, Virginia was named.
I think that some of the children of Col William that you list were by Elizabeth Offutt?
William Douglas
Welcome to our group, Mary.
Can you put places and dates to your ancestor. He may appear in someone else's tree and that would help make the connection.
Yours aye,
William
