Left Scotland 1840 with most of family, sailed to Ontario Canada before settling in Milwaukee, Wi. I have only read what someone wrote not an official source, that both Alex and Anabella died of cholera October 1852 in Milwaukee, Wi. Their 2 oldest boys James(1823) and Alexander(1827) had a very successful Architect and building business. Historic stories on a Milwaukee gov't site says James helped build the first Bridge in Milwaukee in the mid 1840's. Also had his own Architect style of houses that neighborhoods he built in around Milwaukee were referred to as "Douglasville"
