Jens Wagner-Douglas's Page

Is there a link to Paula Salmon, she married Quintin Douglas?

I note a link in another forum to the Wagner family.

Jens,

I have been communicating with your brother.

Please see: http://www.douglashistory.co.uk/history/families/douglas_of_arkland.html   for the latest information that I have on your ancestors.

I have these notes:

John Douglas of Arkland witnessed a document on 2 Jan 1607

Sasine of marriage contract between John Douglas of Arkland and Margaret Gordon, daughter of Robert Gordon of Grange dated 15 Mar 1679

Helen Douglas, the lawful daughter of John Douglas of Arkland in the parish of Penpont and his spouse Katherine Stewart, who died on 10th March 1595 . Helen Douglas was the spouse of Thomas Gordon of Crogo. John Douglas of Arkland, spouse Katherine Stewart, who died 10 March 1595, were due £248/13/4 to Lord Mourton for rent. This John Douglas had a son, also John Douglas of Arkland. He and Helen had eight siblings.

John Grierson of Capenoch's daughter and heiress Marie Grierson married John Douglas of Arkland c1643?

Marie Grierson, daughter of Elizabeth Murray and William Grierson of Bargatton, and wife of John Douglas of Arkland.  (Same Marie as above?)

You have just sent me a document which indicates that William Douglas, born 6.6.1688 in Schippenbeil, is a descendant of Douglas of Arkland.  This is a Kirkcudbrightshire family, mentioned in various legal documents. Many appear to have been called John, making the tracking of generations tricky.

I will have a look around and see what I can turn up.
