Early arrivals
I am keen that we should use this forum to identify those key people, and then work together to trace their ancestors back to Scotland (or Ireland, or England). In some cases, families arrived via the West Indies. It would be good to identify them as well.
A starting point is the list in The Douglas Archives of 'Early Douglas settlers in America'. Suggestions for additions to this list would be very welcome.
Please make your contributions as full as possible, with dates and places included, as appropriate.

I do like this extract from the extracts...
It would be nioe to write a dignified and profound preface in regard
t o the Lower Norfolk records* No. We will have to leave that to the
historians if they ever fal l that low. Oftentimes what they have to say
is quite true . Of course they are not all liars, prostitutes s and fools
as my old friend Morgan Robinson, and the "Englishman, Horace Rounds, used to casually remark. It would be entertaining to hear what these "deceased gentlemen ( not~so gentle ) would have t o say concerning Toynbee, the prevailing fashion in history. Our good friends the historians love to talk C or write ) for the pleasure of hearing themselves talk , A most
charming diversion from the dull facts of history.
