John Douglas arrived in America from England at Castle Garden in New York City around 1861 with his family, which consisted of about ten members, including siblings and parents. They settled in Minneapolis, where his parents eventually passed away. In approximately 1865, John and his brother Anthony moved to Texas. John married Elizabeth M. Bradshaw in 1866, and they had two children: John Douglas Jr. and Frances Elizabeth Douglas. John became a widower between 1876 and 1878, after which he married Ma. Simon de Carmen Valencia in 1878. Around 1894, John Douglas Jr. moved to Aguascalientes with his father. Prior to this move, they lived between Durango and Torreón, where I am still searching for additional information. John Douglas Jr. died in Aguascalientes in August 1920. Frances Elizabeth Douglas married twice: once in Texas and once in Los Angeles. She passed away in 1946. During John Douglas's time in Torreón, on December 9, 1889, he co-founded a soap company called "La Alianza." His economic activities in Durango and Torreón included running a textile factory and a mill. Neither John Jr. nor Frances had any children.

John Douglas died at 5:50 am on March 16, 1918. 

More coming soon! 

Thanks
