The Douglas Archives

A collection of historical and genalogical records

Guess, the Douglas need to know about the Cowie of Gorrenberry, as story my family made up in 16th century Scotland, just west of the Hermitage Castle. It could have been those Armstrong neighbors on the west in Billhope which has a bad influence on us, of Mangerton and relatives to that Gilnockie.

Clementis Hob's was so bad he was adopted by Clement Crozier, because he was his sister's son, but his father was accused in the slaughter of Hugh Douglas. Those notorious Scott people would keep him up north. His first son Andrew (alias Dand the Cow) was the first Burgess of Selkirk, His second son which (wish I could choose my ancestors) was the biggest thief in Liddesdale, living in Gorrenberry. His father would come down and visit him and try to help out making a lot of noise at night. William Douglas of Cavers own land to the east between Gorrenberry and the Hermitage Castle, called Broadley, became Braidle, after Martin Elwald-Ellot located to the land had land called Braidlee up north with those Scott. Martin filled in for the chief. His family moved to Prickenhaugh among the Riccardton Crosar Crozier, across the Liddel from the Larriston Chieftain branch,which chief 15th married Buccleuch's sister but took on a mistress Maggie-Margaret Kidd of Slaughtree (Margaret chief 29 does not like to be called Maggie), Robert 15 would feud with those Armstrong as in 'Lock the Door Larriston'. The Thorsleehope (Thor-God of Thunder, Lee-leward, Hope-valley, Thunder Valley). Buccleuch support the Stobs line in becoming the chieftain line with aristocracy. Pre-border exile and genocide of the Armstrong and Elliot, excepting Goodman of Gorrenberry, no aristocracy. The Stobs Eliott were active in the Americas, such a Novia Scotia (new Scotland), and North Carolina. People who silence free speech, and laugh at sending Scots as slaves to America, my ancestors, pitched-in strung them out an case them out of the country. Canada was there in 1967, in 1965 they stop flying the Union-Jack. Borders are place between nations and this is where the fighting takes place. Borderers do not care for Kingdoms fighting because this is where families are killed like at, like Flodden in 1513.

Feel my ancestors did not get rid of all those Tories in 1776. They are the ones that think they can find the truth by silencing people, and laughing at sending Scots as Cromwellian slaves to America in 1650, and it is how my grandfather got here supporting the Irish, Charles II, and the Hamiltonian Royalists.

The armies of Cromwell exterminated about a tenth of the population of Ireland.

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?
