His father is Robert E. Douglas, born November 20, 1797 in Lancaster Co., South Carolina. He died December 25, 1868 in Galveston, Texas. Robert's first wife, Sophia McLellan (birthdate unknown) died February 5, 1840 in Talladega, Alabama. They had at least three children, Priscilla, Mary Jane, and John Monroe.
Robert E. Douglas' second wife was Mary Fuller. They had at least one child, Walton Eugene Douglas, b. June 29, 1846. At age 17, Walton E. Douglas mustered into the Confederate 1st Regiment, Alabama Reserves (62nd Regiment Infantry). I have a tentative death date of Sept. 24, 1920 in Jefferson, Alabama, but need to do more research on that.
