Elizabeth, I have this note about Colin's descendants:
The Hector's passenger list has been transcribed and shows Colin as the only adult Douglass. There is a Margaret Douglas, aged between 2 and 8 years old and under 2, a Colin Douglas, son of Alex. However, there was no Alex Douglas on the Hector. Colin's daughter is said to have married Peter Fraser, so how Justice Douglas is a descendant of this family remains to be determined.
Now, I give a health warning on all the content of the Douglas Archives - use the material as a guide to help you find the facts. Just because it is in the Douglas Archives, does not necessarily make it a fact.
However, we recently translated an original Latin deed (un related to Pictou) proving that what some historians have been saying for generations was incorrect!

Welcome to our community network, Elizabeth.
If you can say which Colin it is, with dates and places, then others may recognise him, and contribute to your research.
Yours aye,
William
