Erika,

I am researching a William H. Douglass born in KY in 1797 and am wondering if you could provide any more descendant children of your Captain Elmore Douglass, Celia, or Burchette. In the meantime I will check the best census I can for them, it may help. Michael Douglass, Utah

Erika, WOW, that is great history. I'm glad you're still interested in the Douglass name. I think I was looking for more birth and death dates but I can research the census on names you gave me, and I appreciate that. I was more curious about any descendants from 1644 since there was a Douglass group that came from Scotland that could fit my ancestry. If you haven't been on it, Ancestry.com is a good place to build a tree but has a continuing cost. Best Regards and thanks for replying.
