Profile Information

Which Douglas line are you researching? Dates and places help making connections.
I am researching my immigrant ancestor, John Douglas, and his wife, Mary. John is believed to be descended from the Red Douglas line. He was born in 1749 in Scotland and immigrated to South Carolina in 1799. He became a US citizen in 1806. According to family tradition, he came to SC to claim land owned by his family and was said to have been from a "well-to-do" family. Some heirlooms passed down include an English and Latin dictionary owned by John Douglas, a Bible, a signet ring with a crest mainly worn off, his citizenship document from SC in 1806, and a large lock of red hair in the Bible.

Welcome to the group, Douglas

I wonder if there is enough of the crest on the ring remaining to identify which crest it is?

I have this entry:

Douglas, John. Born in Edinburgh. Nat. 29 December 1799. South Carolina; Aged 50. Coachbuilder. Born in Scotland. Wife, Rachel, aged 50. Born in North Carolina. Elizabeth, aged 19, born in Marion County, South Carolina.

Close, but not close enough?  There are several 'Johns' listed, but I cannot find yours.

Yours aye,

William

 
 
 

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
