I wonder if you have taken a DNA test? (See the DouglasDNA project:
https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/douglas/about/results )The reason for my asking is that the story around your ancestor has been challenged, and as far as I know no clear result has emerged.
See: https://www.douglashistory.co.uk/history/john_douglas4.htm
This is an important link in our family's history, and the more evidence that we can collect, the better.For interest, the extensive Douglas of Mains estates once extended to within half a mile of my home, the last property on the estate being my neighbours on Camoquhill Douglas. The last of the direct line died recently.
Yours aye,William
