Susan, I think I have found the birth for the first Joseph you have record of in Wootton. He was buried Jan 31 1841 in Wootton at age 37. That means he was probably born bit later than 1800 - perhaps 1803/4. The 1841 census gives Hardingstone as the enumeration district and Mary, b 1801 (presumably his widow)has children Samuel, Neale, Frances, George, John, Ephraim and Elizabeth. I haven't been able to connect him to earlier Douglases yet.

Susan, I've found a court case involving an assault on Joseph, naming brother John of Northampton, and son Neal. John and wife Sarah are in the census for 1841,51,61, then only John in 71. Please write me at bhhdesigns@yahoo.com for details. Betsey
