Which Andrew Douglass are you looking for? Dates and places help place a person so others can perhaps find him in their tree and share the information.
The double ss has no major significance. When most folk could not write, a scribe/clerk would write the name as he heard it, so someone who had his names spelt with a single s could have a son with a double ss.
