Alexander Douglass of Lynn, Capt. Samuel Douglass, and Phineas Douglass

Alexander Douglass of Lynn, Massachusetts (originally Alastair MacDougall of Scotland) was taken prisoner in the 1650 Battle of Dunbar and sent to Massachusetts as an indentured servant. He left many Douglass descendants in New England and elsewhere, including Capt. Samuel Douglass of Mass. and N.H. and his brother Phineas Douglass. The first half of my article on this family was just published in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register; please let me know if you would like a copy!See More

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?
