    Welcome to our community, Jan.

    'Your' Archibald is one of our mystery men.  Was he a Lord?  Did he leave Scotland via Ireland?

    Was he the son of John Douglas of Newcastle? (Not a lord)
    Was he a grandson of Sir William Douglas, 9th Earl of Drumlanrig and 1st Earl of Queensbury? And if so, why is he not in the Queensbury family tree?

    Too many questions; not enough answers.

    It would be good to know your father's heritage.  Maybe there are some clues there?

    Is there anyone who can do a DNA test?

    Yours aye,

    William

    I have just done a quick place name search and found multiple entries for Nashville, which is not very helpful.  However, I have merged these and that will appear in the next database update.
    But I could see no connection to your family, but you might have better luck.
