Capt. John Douglass; Revolutionary War

Captain John Douglass; patriot and revolutionary soldier

Continuing with my project of learning and sharing more on the Douglas family's role in the many American wars, I am looking for help identifying Captain John Douglass's family. We know he married Ann Jones, but what else in known of this man?

William- I am your correspondent regarding the Civil War soldier in Kansas with the dugout. I have not yet been able to access my information as of yet- many problems on the home front- but it may be I can help with this as well. I am, incidentally, a member of the DAR (thanks to my Douglas ancestry) and may be able to find out more when I am better able to. Hope things are well.

This is what I have so far:

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?
