Hi 

One of the best sources of information on Early American settlers is the 34 volumes of Virginia Colonial abstracts compiled by Beverly Fleet.

These volumes are available online in a number of places, but frequently only a few of the volumes are available for download at any one location.  

The FamilySearch website is one location where all 34 volumes may be viewed and downloaded for free, the relevant web address is;

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1949959?availability=Fa...

If you are unable to access the FamilySearch site but are searching for a specific volume. Please add a comment here and I will upload the relevant pdf to this page.

Best regards

I am a descendant of the Douglas's mentioned in the J. Lufkin Douglas book. My last ancestor listed was Cynthia Etta Douglas, my gg grandmother. Her father was Alonzo Douglas, who homesteader 80 acres in Western Kansas (he's buried in Norton Cemetery). He was a northern veteran of the Civil War and contracted dysentery, which he suffered from all his life. He managed to make a dugout in the rocky outcropping on the side of a hill. His heart was always frail, and when one day he was feeling poorly he walked a mile to the doctor's office, sat down and died.

I am a decendent of the Douglas and Boyd families.  I am searching for those that might also be so that we can help one another.

Most of mine I have records of are from 1800-1900 and they immigrated through Canada.

I descend through John Douglas, (5/13/1651 - ca. 1712), who immigrated at the ripe old age of 9, without his family. Here's a great page with excellent detail: https://georgiadouglases.wixsite.com/genealogy/copy-of-john-douglas-1

Russ,

Re the settlers, do you know what the abbreviations Ch B and Adj L mean?

I have a download of that chapter and the entire book. I am a direct lineal female descendant of the daughter of Archibald that is mentioned at the bottom of page two of Chapter 7. She married Conrad Rutter who came on the ship America in 1683 as a member of Daniel Francis Pastorius entourage, Pastorius being agent for William Penn and the Frankfort company.
Everything on that page is all a part of original documents and family lore passed down to me from my female line. I can conclusively document that the Douglass sister/daughter was Conrad's wife. However, I am still working away on the pre- marriage connection, especially since Conrad was purportedly from the Duchy of Kleve.
I am proud that my mother's family has lived in Lancaster County's Earl Township from Conrad Rutter's time until the death of my Grandmother in 1991. That's a very long time for an American family to maintain its position and holdings continuously in a single community.
