Preface.
The arraiigemeut of records in the following pages has been
simplified as far as possible. Following the sketch of each in-
dividual is a list of the children, numbered consecutively in
small Roman figures at the left. If any of the children are to
appear again as heads of families, they have also a number, in
Arabic figures at the left of the Roman figures, and by looking
for this number in the center of the page further on in the book,
the persons will be found. Descendants in female lines, how-
ever, ai-e not given separate Arabic numbers at the left, but are
all given in order, from the eldest to the youngest, through the
several generations, following the sketch ot the last individual
whose name was Douglas. Small figures are placed just above
the names of all descendants, whether in male or female lines,
which denote the number of the generation, reckoning from the
progenitor of the family, who is number 1. By observing these
generation numbers, as well as the consecutive numbers, both
Koman and Arabic, of the names, the relationship of persons
can be readily deteimined.
In a large number of instances female lines have been traced
for several generations; and in order to gain space for the in-
creased amount of records thus introduced, abbreviations have
l)een employed to a considerable extent in the fine print, though
none have been used in the coarse print. The principal abbre-
viations used are: aet., aged; aft., after or afterward; app., aj)-
pointed; b., born; bapt., baptized; bef., before; bro., brother;
di., child or church; d., died; dau., daughter; educ, educated;
ent., entered; estab., estiiblished; exc, except; fr., from; gr.,
j^rand: grad., graduated; inf., infancy; m., mamed: memb.,
member; prac, practiced; prep., prepared; prom., promoted;
res., resides or resided; ret., returnea; s.,son; serv., served; set.,
i«ettied; sist., sister; 8. p, {sans prole), without offspring; stud.,
studied; unm., unmarried; w., wife; wh., where; wid., widow or
widower. A few other abbreviations are used, which need no ex-
])lanation.
All dates have been given as received, without any attempt at
reducing those before 1752 to the new style. The correct spell-
ing of baptismal names has been adhered to. Pet names have

been rigidly excluded, as hardly consistent with the dignity of a
family history, and the real names have been given in all instances.
Family names have in most cases been spelled as the records gave
them. It would not be surprising if, amon^ so many hundred
names as the book contains, some have been incorrectly printed,
though especial pains have been taken to avoid such extremely
annoying mistakes.
I am much pleased, at the elegant manner in which the book
has been brought out by the publishers, and I feel under especial
obligations to the Hon. Edward L. Freeman, for his personal
attention to this matter. In order to insure perfection of typo-
graphy, the publishers procured new type never before used, and
selected a fine paper of a tint very agreeable to the eye. The
•result is a book which, I think, hjis not been surpassed for ele-
gance and beauty of finish by any family history which has been
published.
I regret that I have been unable to obtain portraits of some of
the prominent members of the family, especially of the earlier
generations. Of later generations I have sought without success
engravings of Nathaniel P. Willis, of Newburgh, N. Y., the Hon.
George F. Marsh, of Rome, Italy, Jehiel Todd, of Worcester,
Mass., Alanson D., of Troy, N. Y., William B. D., of Rochester,
N. Y., D. Deforrest D., of Springfield, Mass., John W. D., of
Washington, D. C, Jacob Davies D., of Alexandria, Va., Stephen
R. D., of Milford, Neb., Francis Dane D., of Hartford, Conn.,
John D., of New Haven, Conn., and the Rev. Dr. William K.
D., of Dry Grove, Miss. Of the portraits presented, those of
Col. William D., his wife Hannah Mansfield, William D., of
Middletown, Conn., and the Hon. Benjamin D. and his wife,
were furnished by Gov. D., of Middletown; that of Maj. David
B. D., by his son, the Rev. Dr. Malcolm D., of Andover, Mass.;
and nearly all the others by the subjects themselves. Nine of
the portraits, those of Col. t). and wife, William D., of Middle-
town, Mrs. Benjamin D., Dr. Isaac D., the Rev. Dr. Malcolm D.,
Capt. Joel R. L. D., Henry F. D., and the author, were engraved
at an expense of nearly one hundred dollars each, by Samuel Sar-
tain, of Philadelphia, who has in them fully maintiiined his posi-
tion at the head of the portrait engravers of the Union.
Those into whose hands this volume may fall will confer a favor
by advising me of any errors or omissions which they may dis-
cover. If my life is spared, I intend at some future time, say in
twenty or twenty-five years, to publish an enlarged and corrected
edition of the history of my own family. It is not imj)ossible that
I may also ])ublish a revised edition of the history of the New
London family, in a separate volume. If not, all corrections and
additions will be carefully preserved and deposited in some safe
])lace for insi)ection and use should they ever be wanted by any
future historian.

HISTORY OF THIS BOOK.
I distinctly remember hearing the church bells of my
native village tolling one day, when not more than four
or five years old, and when I enquired what they were
tolling for, I was told that Stephen A. Douglas was dead.
From this time I was interested in the name of Douglas,
and my curiosity was excited to find out who Stephen A.
Douglas was. I eagerly marked the occurrence of the
name of Douglas in my reading book at school, and not
unfi-equently noticed it in the other books which fell
into my hands. I learned that it belonged to the far
away Scotland, and that it held an important place in
the history of that country. I was particularly fascin-
ated with an old, dog-eared copy of the Scottish Chiefs
which I chanced to pick up, but which, before I had
finished it, was taken away from me, because it was too
exciting. Some time afterward a school-fellow loaned
me another book of Scottish legends, called Saint Claire
of the Isles. This I suspected would share the fate of
the Scottish Chiefs; but by hiding it in my trunk,
and watching my opportunity to read it unobserved, I
managed to finish and return it without detection. I
procured books upon Scottish history from the village
library, and read considerable upon the subject. But I
still had an ardent desire to finish the Scottish Chiefs,
and see what became of Sir William Wallace and King
Robert Bruce ; and it was not many years before 1 be-
came the owner of a copy of the coveted book. In
this way I acquired a taste for history, and especially
for the wild and romantic legends of Scotland, which
has since been a source of much enjoyment.

But all this reading had been very desultory ; and it
was not till I was some sixteen or eighteen years old
that I became really interested in tracing the history of
my immediate ancestors. It was in the summer of
1874 that my father and myself paid a visit to his rela-
tives in Voluntown, Conn., and Exeter, R. I. ; and,
strange as it may seem, when the amount of materials in
the present volume is considered, I had then seen none
of my father's relatives further back than his brothers
and sisters, and knew absolutely nothing of the early
history of my ancestors. My father, although very
familiar with the family history from his grandfather
down, could tell me nothing back of him ; and it was
with the purpose of visiting his only surviving uncle
and aunts, and finding out who their grandfather was,
that this journey was undertaken. It was fruitful in
awakening a deeper interest in the subject, and disclos-
ing the existence of hitherto unknown relatives. I be-
gan a systematic arrangement of the family; but my
plan was very modest, and I neglected to note down
more than the names in their proper order, and a few
of the more important facts. I returned to school ; but
during the subsequent Christmas vacation I paid a visit
to New London, Conn., where I knew there were per-
sons of the name. Inexperienced in such matters as I
was, I did not make the acquaintance of any of the
Douglases of New London, but I did get much valu-
able information from the town records. The town
clerk told me of an ancient burial ground in the city,
and thither, in the afternoon, I posted. There was a
heavy snow upon the ground, and the day was intensely
cold, so that I nearly froze my face and ears while
deciphering and copying some of the inscriptions from
the grave stones. But I did not mind this, for I dis-
covered that the Douglases had been settled in New
London for a much longer time than I had suspected ;
and by that one day's work I was enabled to trace them
back, in a somewhat imperfect way, for two hundred
years.

But this was my last year in preparing for college,
and I was able to devote but little time to investigation.
During the summer of 1875, however, after I had passed
the college examinations, we made a second trip into
Connecticut, visiting this time all our relatives, far and
near. I was enabled to add much to my little account,
— all contained on a few pages of note paper, — and to
make out tolerably complete lists of most of the families
we visited. I now began to think I had a very good
account of the family, and that, by a few more inquiries,
it could be made quite complete. The more inquiries
I made, however, the more incomplete my records ap-
peared; and I had not written fifty letters before I
came to the conclusion that if I intended to obtain the
merest outline of a history of the Douglases of the
United States, I must proceed in some more expeditious
way than by writing letters. In April, 1876, I caused
to be printed several hundred circulars. These were
sent out to those of the name whose addresses were
known, and large numbers of letters were received in
reply. Still I found the work continually growing on
my hands, and absorbing much more time and attention.
Nearly every letter received in answer to the circulars
referred to still other relatives and disclosed the exist-
ence of branches hitherto unknown. The records, as
fast as they were received, were arranged in proper
order, and the circulars were sent out as fast as new
names were obtained. All the time which could possi-
bly be spared from college and other duties was devoted
to the work in hand ; and the author had the satisfac-
tion, after several months of constant correspondence,
of seeing his records begin to assume form and propor-
tion. Two subsequent editions of the circular have
been exhausted, and the work of sending them out has
been continued down to the present time. In addition
to the circulars a great number of letters and postal
cards have been written, the number of these sent and
received during the last year alone being upward of

contemplate publishing a history of the Douglases in
the United States the work has been prosecuted with
all the vigor of which the circumstances would admit.
From the beginning until the present time its plan
and scope have been continually expanding, until it
has assumed proportions of which the author himself
had originally not the slightest suspicion. Indeed, had
he foreseen that the work would require one-tenth the
time and labor he has bestowed upon it, he would never
have ventured to undertake it.
Such, in brief, are the steps which have led to the
publication of the present volume. What the results
attained are, the book itself will best show. There may
be those who think more time should have been given U)
the preparation of a work of this character. It is true
the author has been engaged upon it but a compara-
tively short time,— a shorter time, indeed, than any
similar work with which he is acquainted, has been com-
pleted in. But he trusts that he has made up for the
shortness of the time by the zeal with which he has
prosecuted the undertaking since he has been about it.
For four years he has given a great deal of attention to
investigating the early history of the Douglas families
in this country, and collecting records of the numerous
branches belonging to them, sometimes to the partial
neglect of other duties and at the risk of impairing his
own health by too close application. In many cases
those from whom the most valuable information has
been obtained have been aged people, — some over
seventy years of age, a few over eighty, and one or
two over ninety, — and this class, as a rule, have shown
the greatest interest in the success of the family history.
Among so large a number as are embraced in these
records, the hand of Death comes all too frequently ;
some of these aged fathers and mothers in Israel have
passed away within a brief period. For the sake of
those who remain, and who mav live to behold the com-
pletion of the work in which they have so great an inter-
est and to whose success they have in no small degree

contributed, its publication should be delayed no longer
than is necessary to attain a reasonable degree of com-
pleteness. Perfection in a work of this character is
simply out of the question ; and in a first edition abso-
lutely impossible. Very many facts are gone beyond
recovery, "buried with the years before the flood;"
other facts can only be had by personal visitation, and
l>erhaps ]iot even then ; and still others only by an ex-
amination of public and private records, and the head-
stones which mark the last resting place of our ancestors.
All this has been largely done by the author and others
who have taken especial interest in the work, and still
there is much which is incomplete. Such as it is, how-
ever, the author now submits the book to those inter-
ested, conscious of its imperfections, — far more conscious
of them than any who may casually examine its pages
can be, — but feeling that he has conscientiously per-
formed his self-imposed task, and that he wnll be abun-
dantly repaid for hLs labor of love and duty if he shall
have produced a memorial volume worthy the American
representatives of the noble family of Douglas.
But I must not forget to return my most sincere thanks
to all who have aided me in my protracted labor ; and
before all others I wish to acknowledge my great indebt-
edness to. my father, Henry F. Douglas, of Providence,
R. I. Since the very beginning of the w^ork he has been
a constant adviser and helper, and by his wise counsels
has contributed very materially to its value. By his
timely suggestions many inaccuracies of statement, into
which a person of fewer years and less experience would
be very likely to be led, have been avoided. Tn early
life he was brought by his business into frequent inter-
course with the older members of his fiimily, now long
since passed away, and having a decided taste for gene-
alogical subjects, he made the most of his opportunities
for obtaining items of family history. A remarkably
good memory enabled him to retain almost all of what
he heard, and at the time the present work was begun
he had without doubt a much better knowledge of hi.^

own family and those connected with it than any other
person living. On this account, and knowing the ad-
vantage such knowledge would aflford anyone in com-
piling a family history, I was the more willing to begin
a work which I knew he had much at heart, but which
the cares of an active business life afforded him lio op-
portunity of undertaking himself During the hist few
years, however, he has devoted much time to the sub-
ject. For fhree successive summers we have travelled
together through most of the towns of Eastern Connec-
ticut, where the early represent^itives of the New p]ng-
land Douglases settled, — Plainfield, Sterling, Voluntown,
Griswold, Preston, Lisbon, Thompson, Stonington, — visit-
ing old people and out-of-the-way graveyards, examining
and copying church, town and private records, and glean-
ing information wherever and whenever we might.
I would also acknowledge my indebtedness to the
Hon. Benjamin Douglas, of Middletown, Conn., for in-
formation and other jussistance. Gov. Douglas, with the
true spirit of loyalty to family so characteristic of our
Scottish ancestors, has taken a deep interest in the pub-
lication of this history, an undertaking which he has
long had at heart, and upon which he made very con-
siderable beginnings several years since. The results of
his investigations were freely placed at my dis^posal, and
have contributed much to the completeness of the early
history of the family. I wish to thank him for the
confidence he has shown in the present work by his
generous subscription for fifteen copies which heads the
subscription list, as well as by furnishing the five elegant
engravings which are accredited to him in the preface.
Two of these portraits, those of his grandfather, Col.
William Douglas, and wife, Hannah Mansfield, Gov.
Douglas has taken especial pains to have accurately en-
graved. The originals, from which the engravings were
made, were painted from life by a French artist, in 1772,
and Gov. Doughus was unwilling to allow them to go out
of his possession, even for the length of time necessary
to engrave them. He therefore prevailed upon Mr.

Sartain, although at a pressing season of the year, to
come up from Philadelphia and make drawings from
them at his own home in Middletown. By this means
very satisfactory engravings were obtained, the likeness
being much more accurately caught than is usually the
case with such old paintings.

Miss Pamela Caulkins, I was allowed to consult these
paj)ers and take copies of whatever might be of service
to me. Without this assistance, I could never have
written the history of the New London family ; for
many of the facts preserved in Miss Caulkins's notes
were obtained twenty years ago, or earlier, when an
older generation was living, and had they not been

FAMILY NAME AND COAT OF ARMS.
ORIGIN AND MEANING OP THE NAME.
Of the origin and primitive signification of the name
Douglas, one of the most ancient and honored in the
annals of Scotland, tljere is no account which is alto-
gether satisfactory. Much attention has been bestowed
upon the subject, but no theory has yet been advanced
which can be relied upon as absolutely trustworthy.
The theory which is commonly given, and which, on
the whole, is open to the fewest objections, is thus
stated at length by the historian Hume ; but, as here-
after shown, it is rejected by some as purely fabulous :
"According then to the constant and general Tradition of
Men, thus was their Original. During the Reign of Solvatkius,
King of Scotland, one Sonald Bain (that is, Donald the white,
or fair) having possest himself of all the Western Islands (called
Ebudes or Hebrides) and instituting himself King thereof, as-
pired to set the Crown of Scotland also upon his Head. For
effectuating whereof he gathered a great Army; wherein he con-
fided so much, that he set Foot on the nearest Continent of
Scotland, to wit, the Province of Kiyityre and Lome, The King's
Lieutenants Duchal and Culen Governors of Athol and Argyle
make Uead against him with such Forces as they could assemble
on the sudden. Donald trusting to the Xumber of his Men, did
bid them Battle, and so prevailed at first, that he made the King's
Army to give Ground, and had now almost g:ained the Day, and
withal the Kingdom, that lay at Stake both in his own Conceit,
and the Estimation of his Enemies. In the mean time a certain
Nobleman disdaining to see so bad a Cause have so good Success,
out of his Love to his Prince, and Desire of Honour, accom-
panied with his Sous and Followers, made an Onset upon these
prevailing Rebels, with such Courage and Resolution, that he
brought them to a Stand, and then heartning the discouraged
Fliers, both by Word and Example, he turns the Chace, and,
instead of Victory, they got a Defeat; for DonaWa Men being

overthrown and fled, he himself was slain. Thh^ Fact was so
much the more noted, as the Danger had been ^^eat, and the
Victory unexpected. Therefore the King beirje: desirous to
know of his Lieutenants the Particulars of the fight, and en-
quiring for tlie Autlior of so valiant an Act, the ?<obleman being
there m Person, Answer was made unto the K*ng in the /r/^X
Tongue (which was tlien only in use) iShoHo Du.glasse, that is to
say. Behold yonder black-gray Man, pointing at him with the
Finger, and designing by his"^ Colour and Complexion, without
more Ceremony or Addition of Titles of Honour. The King
considering his Service and Merits in preserving his Crown, and
delighted with that homely Designation rewarded him royally
with many great Lands, and imposed upon himself tlie Name of
Douglas*, which hath continued with his Posterity until this Day.
And from him the 8hire and County, which he got, is called still
Douglasdale, the River that wateretli it, Douglas- River , tlie Castle
which he built therein, Douglas- Castle.'' — History of the House
and Race of Douglas and Angus, Vol. I, pp. 5-6.
According to another theory, the name was first ap-
plied to the Douglas water, on account of its dark gray-
color; but there is nothing to sustain this conjecture.
Another tradition as to the origin of the family is re-
ferred to on a subsequent page.
In regard to the proper way of spelling the name,
whether with one s or two, there has been much discus-
sion, without, however, quite settling the point. There is
something to be said on both sides of the question, and,
as the ground has already been very thoroughly gone
over by antiquarians, it is not probable that anything
new will be discovered which will throw additional
light on the subject. The argument from analogy in
favor of Douglass, that is, that because glass, brass and
similar words are spelled with a double s, this too should
be spelled so, is unworthy the slightest consideration.
As well reason that the word gas should be spelled gass.
The truth is, that arguments from analogy, either in
spelling or pronunciation, are utterly worthless, as any-
one must be convinced who considers the spelling and
pronunciation of the words cough, doff, rough, cuff',
dough, mow, slough and plow, out of an almost endless
list which might be given. Tlie only guide to spelling
in such a case is the probable derivaticm of the word
and the form which centuries of use has generally sanc-

tioned and made familiar. But even this method of
settling the question is not without its difficulties in the
present case. Although Douglas is the spelling almost
universally followed by the Scottish branches of the
family, as far back as any records exist, in certain
branches Douglass is sometimes found. Indeed in the
family records of Bishop Douglas, of Dunkeld, (1474-
1522) " all the earlier names are spelled with the double
s," although the bishop himself, one of the most learned
men of his time, used but one. Hume, the historian of
the family, who always spells the name Douglas, derives
it, in the extract given above, from du glasse^ and might
be charged with inconsistency for not spelling it Dou-
glasse. In other writers who give the same tradition as
Hume, however, the Gaelic word for dark is spelled glas.
Now, considering the entire unfixedness of spelling only
a few centuries back, it would seem that no certain deci-
sion can be based on an appeal to this source. As
regards the present work, the author finds himself abso-
lutely compelled to adopt throughout the book the usual
spelling, with one s. Though himself preferring this
method on every account, he would not venture to de-
part from the usage of particular families, were it not
that even in the same family the method of spelling
often varies so greatly that he despairs of being able to
present it with any degree of accuracy. Members of
the same family, father and son, and sometimes the same
person himself, in diflFerent times and places, are found
spelling the name in diflFerent ways, sometimes with one
s, sometimes with two, so that in many cases it is simply
impossible to ascertain who would wish to use the addi-
tional letter and who would not. After consultation,
therefore, with friends representing both views, it has
been deemed on the whole the wisest and best solution
of this difficulty, to adopt a uniform method of spelling
the name throughout the book. The author deems this
explanation no more than just to those who, whether
influenced by argument or by a revered parent's exam-
ple, or through total indiflference to the question, have
retained the double s in their own usage.

EXPLANATION OF THE COAT OF ARMS.
The description of the Dquglas Coat of Arms is, in
heraldic terms, ^^ Aryent a man's heart Gules ensigned
with an imperial crown proper ; on a chief Azure three
stars of the first." This, in ordinary language, would
be : Upon a field of silver, a man's heart, red, beneath
an imperial crown in its proper colors ; above the divid-
ing line, upon a blue ground, three stars of silver. This,
which is finely represented in the frontispiece to this
volume, is given in Burke's Heraldry as '' the Paternal
arms of the name of Douglas," and is, as Sir Walter
Scott has expressed it, ''the cognizance of Douglas
blood " wherever found and with whatever other arms
combined. In Great Britain the several branches of the
Douglas family bear different crests and mottoes in ad-
dition to the Douglas Arras which are common to all
the race. Thus some bear above the shield a winged
heart, a hand grasping a broken spear, a wild boar, or
other device ; while there are several mottoes used, as
''Lock Sicker," "Forward," "Audax," "Jamais Arriere,"
"Nunquam Postremus," "Never Behind," most of them
having a meaning similar to the latter. In the cut here
given, the crest is a salamander in the
midst of flames, and the motto, " Ja-
mais Arriere" is the French for "Never
Behind." The simple "paternal coat
of the name of Douglas" has been se-
lected as the frontispiece to this work,
for the reason that it is not known to
what particular branch or branches of
the old Scottish Doughuses the Ameri-
can representatives of the family belong.
The original arms of the Douglases were simply three
silver stars on a blue field. The origin of this coat is
unknown. It was thought several centuries ago that
the Murrays were nearly related to the Douglases, fi-om
the fact that the arms of the former also contained the
three stars; and this ancient conjecture contains all
that is known about it. The origin and significance

of the crowned heart is better known. It. was assumed
by the family as a memorial of the fate of the Good Sir
James of Douglas, who perished in Spain in 1330, while
on a journey to the Holy Land with the heart of Robert
Bruce. The dying king had bequeathed his heart to
the Good Sir James, who had been his greatest captain,
with the request that he would carry it to Jerusalem
and there bury it before the High Altar. It is some-
times stated that Sir James died on his way to ,the Holy
Land, and that he had the heart with him at the time in
a silver box ; but Hume, the historian of the family, dis-
tinctly states that the errand had been accomplished and
that Sir James was on his way back to Scotland.
" He carried with him to Jerusalem the King's Heart em-
balmed and put into a Box of Gold, which he solemnly hurried
before the high Altar there; and this is the Reason why the
Douglas bear the crowned Heart in their Arms ever since." — His-
tory of the Souses of Douglas and Angus, Vol I, p. 94.

ANCIENT DOUGLAS FAMILY OF SCOTLAND.
ORIGIN AND EARLY HISTORY.*
Archaeology has failed in its eflForts to pierce the ob-
scurity which veils the origin of the heroic race of which
it has been said :
^' So many, so good as of Douglas blood have been,
Of one surname, in one kingrick, never yet were seen."
A legend of the 16th or 17th century told how, about
the year 770, a Scottish king, whose ranks had been
broken by a fierce onset of a Lord of the Isles, saw the
tide of battle suddenly turned by an unknown chief;
how, when the victory was won, the monarch asked
where was his deliverer ; how the answer ran in Erse,
Sholto Du-glda ('Behold that dark-gray man'); and
how the warrior was rewarded with that Clydesdale
valley which, taking from him its name of Douglas, gave
surname to his descendants. This fable has long ceased
to be believed. Equal discredit has fallen on the theory
which, sixty years ago, the laborious Chalmers advanced
in his Caledonia^ that the Douglases sprang from a Flem-
ing of the name of Theobald, who, between the years
1147 and 1164, had a grant of lands on the Douglas
Water from the Abbot of Kelso. There is no trace of

any connection between the Flemish Theobald and the
Douglases; nor were the lands which he acquired on
one side of the stream any part of their domain on the
other. What was boasted of the Douglases by their
historian, two centuries ago, therefore still holds true:
'We do not know them in the fountain, but in the
stream ; not in the root, but in the stem ; for we know
not who was the first mean man that did by his virtue
raise himself above the vulgar.' It was thought likely,
in the beginning of the 15th century, that the Douglases
and the Murrays had come of the same stock, and in this
old conjecture all that is known on the subject must still
be summed up.
William of Douglas^ the first of the family who ap-
pears in record, was so called, doubtless, from the wild
pastoral dale which he possessed. He is found witness-
ing charters by the king and the Bishop of Glasgow
between 1175 and 1213. He was either the brother or
the brother-in-law of Sir Freskin of Murray, and had six
sons, of whom Archibald, or Erkenbald, was his heir ;
and Brice, a monk of Kelso, rose to be Prior of Lesma-
hogo ^a dependency of Kelso, on the outskirts of Dou-
glasdale), and in 1203 was preferred to the great
bishopric of Murray. He owed this promotion, no
doubt, to the influence of his kinsmen, the Murrays,
and it contributed not a little to the rising fortunes of
his own house. He was followed beyond the Spey by
four brothers, of whom one became sheriff of Elgin ;
another became a canon of Murray ; a third, who had
been a monk of Kelso, seems to have become Arch-
deacon of Murray ; and a fourth, who had been parson
of Douglas, appears to have become Dean of Murray.
Sir Archibald^ or Erkenbald^ of Douylas^ is a witness
to charters between 1190 and 1232. He attained the
rank of knighthood, and besides his inheritance of Dou-
glas, held the lauds of Hailes, on the Water of Leith,
from the monks of Dunfermline, and had a grant of the
lands of Levingston and Hirdmanston from the Earl of
Fife. He is said to have acquired other lands in Clydes-

ANCIENT DOUGLAS FAMILY OF SCOTLAND. 37
dale by his marriage with one of the two daughters and
heiresses of Sir John of Crawford.
Sir William of Douglas^ apparently the son of Sir
Archibald, figures in record from 1240 to 1273. He
appears in 1255 as one of the Scottish partisans of King
Henry III. of England; and, in 1267, is found in pos-
session of the manor of Fawdon, in Northumberland,
by gift of the king's son (afterwards Edward I.) He
seems to have had a brother, Sir Andrew, the progeni-
tor of the Douglases of Dalkeith and Morton, and cer-
tainly had two sons.
Hugh of Douglas^ the elder, acquired land in Glencorse,
in Lothian, by marriage with the sister of Sir Hugh of
Abernethy ; and dying without issue, about 1287, was
succeeded by his younger brother.
Sir William of Douglas^ distinguished in the family
traditions as William the Hardy ^ had all the daring and
restless spirit which was characteristic of his descend-
ants. His first appearance is in 1267, when his head
was nearly severed from his shoulders in defending his
father's English manor from a foray of the men of Redes-
dale. Twenty years later, he is found at the head of an
armed band, carrying off his future wife, a wealthy
widow, Alionora of Lovaine, from the manor of her
kinsfolks, the La Zouches, at Tranent, in Lothian. We
hear of him immediately afterwards as spoiling the
monks of Melrose, deforcing the king's officers in the
execution of a judgment in favor of his mother, unlaw-
fully imprisoning three men in his castle of Douglas,
and beheading one of them. He was the first man of
mark who joined Wallace in the rising against the Eng-
lish in 1297; and for this his lands of Douglas were
wasted with fire and sword, and his wife and children
carried off, by Robert Bruce, the young Earl of Carrick,
then a partiisan of England. But the Knight of Douglas
soon left the insurgent banners, and submitting to his
old [)atron, King Edward I., to whom he had again and
again sworn fealty, was sent prisoner to the castle of
York, where he died about 1302. It appears that he

possessed lands in one English, and in seven Scottish
counties — Northumberland, Berwick, Edinburgh, Fife,
Lanark, Ayr, Dumfries and Wigton.
The history of his son, the Good Sir James of Douglas^
is familiar to every one, as Bruce's greatest captain in
the long War of the Succession. The hero of seventy
fights, he is said to have won them all but thirteen,
leaving the name of * the Black Douglas ' — ^so he was
called from his swarthy complexion — ^as a word of fear
by which English mothers stilled their children. He
was slain in Andalusia, in 1330, on his way to the Holy
Land* with the heart of his royal master, and, dying
unmarried, was succeeded by his brother.
Hugh of Douglas, of whom nothing is known except
that he made over the now great domains of his family,
m 1342, to his nephew. Sir William of Douglas, (son of
a younger brother of the Good Sir James — Sir Archi-
bald of Douglas, Regent of Scotland, slain at Halidon
Hill in 1333).
EARLS OF DOUGLAS.
Hitherto thfe Douglases had no higher title than that
of knight; but in 1357, Sir William of Douglas, who
had fought at Poitiers, and distinguished himself in other
fields, was made Earl of Douglas, and afterwards, by
marriage, became Earl of Mar. His ambition aimed at
still greater things, and in 1371 he disputed the succes-
sion to the Scottish crown with Robert II. (the first of
the Stewarts). He claimed as a descendant of the
Baliols and Cummings ; and his pretensions were aban-
doned only on condition that his son should marry the
king's daughter. He died in 1384. His son James,
second Earl of Douglas and Mar, the conqueror of Hot-
spur, fell at Otterbui:n in 1388 ; and as he left no legiti-
mate issue, the direct male line of William the Hardy
and the Good Sir James now came to an end. . His
aunt had married for her second husband one of her

brother's esquires, James of Sandilaiids, and through
her, Lord Torphichen is now the heir general and rep-
resentative at common law of the House of Douglas.
The earldom of Douglas, meanwhile, was bestowed
on an illegitimate son of the Good Sir James — Archi-
bald, Lord of Galloway, surnamed the Grim. By his
marriage with the heiress of Bothwell he added that
fair barony to the Douglas domains ; and having mar-
ried his only daughter to the heir-apparent of the Scot-
tish crown, and his eldest son to the eldest daughter of
the Scottish king, he died in 1401. His son and suc-
cessor, Archibald, fourth Earl of Douglas, was, from his
many misfortunes in battle, surnamed ' The Tyneman,'
i. e., the loser. At Homildon, in 1402, he was wounded
m five places, lost an eye, and was taken prisoner by
Hotspur. Next year, at Shrewsbury, he felled the Eng-
lish king to the earth, but was again wounded and taken
prisoner. Repairing to France, he was there made
Duke of Touraine, and fell at Verneuil in 1424. He
was succeeded by his son Archibald, who distinguished
himself in the French wars, and dying in 1439, was
buried in the church of Douglas, where his tomb yet
remains, inscribed with his high titles of 'Duke of
Touraine, Earl of Douglas and Longueville, Lord of
Gallow<ay, Wigton and Annandale, Lieutenant of the
King of Scots.' His son and successor, William, a boy of
sixteen, is said to have kept a thousand horsemen in his
train, to have created knights, and to have affected the
pomp of parliament in his baronial courts. His power
and foreign possessions made him an object of fear to
the Scottish crown ; and, having been decoyed into the
castle of Edinburgh by the crafty and unscrupulous
Crichton, he was, afler a hasty trial, beheaded, along
with his brother, within the walls of the castle in 1440.
His French duchy and county died with him ; his Scot-
tish earldom was bestowed on his grand-uncle, (the
second son of Archibald the Grim), James, surnamed
the Gross, who, in 1437, had been made Earl of Avon-
dale. He died in 1443, being succeeded by his son

40 DOUGLAS GENEALOGY.
William, who, by marriage with his kinswoman (the
only daughter of Archibald, fifth Earl of Douglas, and
second Duke of Touraine), agam added the lordship of
Galloway to the Douglas possessions. He was, for a
time, all-powerful with King James II., who made him
lieutenant-general of the realm ; but afterwards losing
the royal favour, he seems to have entered into a con-
federacy against the king, by. whom he was killed in
Stirling Castle, in 1452. Leaving no child, he was suc-
ceeded by his brother James, who, in 1454, made open
war agahist King James II., as the murderer of his
brother and kinsman (the sixth and eighth Earls of
Douglas). The issue seemed doubtful for a time, but
the Ilamiltons and others being gained over to the
king's side, Douglas fled to England. The struggle
was still maintained by his brothers, Archibald, who by
marriage had become Earl of Murray, and Hugh, who
in 1445 had been made Earl of Ormond. They were
defeated at Arkinholm, in May, 1455, MuiTay being
slain on the field, and Ormond taken prisoner, and
afterwards beheaded. Abercorn, Douglas, Strathaven,
Thrieve, and other castles of the Douglases were dis-
mantled ; and the earldom of Douglas came to an end
by forfeiture, after an existence of ninety-eight years,
during which it had been held by no fewer than nine
lords. The last earl lived many years in England, where
he had a pension fi-om the crown, and was made a
knight of the Garter. In 1484, he leagued himself with
the exiled Duke of Albany to invade Scotland. He was
defeated and taken prisoner at Lochmaben, and, on be-
ing brought to the royal presence, is said to have turned
his back upon the king. The compassionate James III.
spared his life, on condition of his taking the cowl.
'He who may no better be, must be a monk,' muttered
the old man, as he bowed to his fate. He died in the
abbey of Lindores, in April, 1488 ; and so ended the
elder illegitimate line of the Douglases.

ANCIENT DOUGLAS FAMILY OF SCOTLAND. 41
EARLS OF ANGUS.
Meanwhile a younger illegitimate branch had been
rising to great power. WilHam, first Earl of Douglas,
was the faithless husband of a faithless wife. She was
believed to have had a paramour in Sir William Douglas
of Liddesdale. Her jealous husband, who slew that
'flower of chivalry,' had himself shared the affections
of the wife of his wife's brother, Margaret Stewart,
Countess of Angus and Mar. The issue of this amour,
which in that age was accounted incestuous, was a son
George, who in 1389 had a grant of his mother's earl-
dom of Angus ; married, in 1397, the youngest daughter
of King Robert III. ; was taken prisoner at Homildon
in 1402, and died of the plague in England in the fol-
lowing year. He was succeeded by his son William,
who, dying in 1437, was succeeded by his son James,
who died without issue, when the title reverted to his
uncle. George, fourth Earl of Angus, took part with
the king against the Douglases in 1454 ; his loyalty was
rewarded by a grant of their old inheritance of Douglas-
dale ; and so, in the phrase of the time, ' the Red Dou-
glas'— such was the complexion of Angus — ' put down
the Black.' He died in 1462, being succeeded by his
son Archibald, sumamed Bell-the-Cat, and sometimes
also called the Great Earl. After filling the highest
offices in the state, and adding largely to the family pos-
sessions, he retired to the priory of Canons Regular at
Whithem, in Galloway, where he died in 1514. Having
outlived his eldest son, he was succeeded by his grand-
son, Archibald, who in 1514 married the Queen-dowager
of Scotland, Margaret, sister of Henry VIII. of England,
and widow of James IV. of Scotland. The fruit of this
marriage wag a daughter, Margaret, who, marr}dng the
Earl of Lennox, became the mother of Henry, Lord
Darnley, the husband of Queen Mary, and father of
King James VI. The Earl of Angus had for a time
supreme power in Scotland, but, in 1528, the young

king, James V., escaped from his hands, and sentence of
forfeiture was pronounced against Angus and his kins-
men. The king swore that while he lived the Douglases
should have no place in his kingdom ; and he kept his
vow. On his death in 1542, Angus returned to Scot-
land and was restored to his honours and possessions.
He died at Tantallon in 1556. His nephew, who suc-
ceeded him, died two years afterwards, leaving an only
son, Archibald, eighth Earl of Angus. This 'Good
Earl,' as he was called, died in 1588, when his title de-
volved on his kinsman, William, the grandson of Sir
William Douglas of Glenbervie, second son of Archibald
Bell-the-Cat. Dying in 1591, he was succeeded by his
son William, who next year obtained from the crown a
special recognition of his high privileges as Earl of An-
gus, of taking the first place and giving the first vote in
parliament, of leading the vanguard iti battle, and of
bearing the crown in parliament. He seems to have
been a man of scholarly tastes, and is said to have writ-
ten a history of the Douglases. Having turned Roman
Catholic, he was forced to leave Scotland, and spent his
latter years in exercises of devotion in Paris, where he
died in 1611, being succeeded by his son.
MARQUISES AND DUKE OF DOUGLAS, AND LORDS DOUGLAS.
William, eleventh Earl of Angus, was created Mar-
quis of Douglas in 1633, and dying in 1660, was suc-
ceeded by his grandson James, who died in 1700, leaving
issue one son and one daughter. The son, Archibald,
third Marquis of Douglas, was created Duke of Douglas
in 1703, and died childless in 1761, when his dukedom
became extinct, and his marquisate devolved on the
Duke of Hamilton, as descended in the male line from
WiUiam Earl of Selkirk, third son of the first Marquis
of Douglas. His grace's sister. Lady Jane Douglas,
born in 1698, and married in 1746 to Sir John Stewart
of Grandtully, was said to have given birth at Paris to
twin sons in 1748. One of them died in 1753; the

other, in 1761, was served heir of entail and provision
general to the Duke of Douglas. An attempt was made
to reduce his service, on the ground that he was not the
child of Lady Jane Douglas ; but the House of Lords,
in 1771, gave final judgment in his favour. He was
made a British peer in 1790, by the title of Baron Dou-
glas of Douglas Castle, which became extinct on the
death of his son James, fourth Lord Douglas, in 1857,
when the Douglas estates devolved on his niece, the
Countess of Home. The title of Earl of Angus was
claimed in 1762, as well by the Duke of Hamilton as
by Archibald Stewart, afterwards Lord Douglas; but
neither urged his claim to a decision, and the claim is
still in abeyance. The right attached to it of bearing
the crown of Scotland, was debated before the Privy
Council in 1823, when it was ruled that Lord Douglass
claim to that honour, being a claim of heritable right,
fell to be decided in a court of law.
EARL8 OF MORTON.
Sir Andrew of Douglas, who appears in record in
1248, was apparently a younger son of Sir Archibald,
or Erkenbald, of Douglas, the second chief of the house.
He was the father of William of Douglas, who, in 1296,
swore fealty to King Edward I. for his lands in West
Lothian, and who was probably the father of Sir James
of Douglas, — sumamed of Lothian, to distinguish him
from his kinsman of Clydesdale — who, in 1315, had a
grant from Bruce of the lands of Kincavil and Calder-
clere. He died about 1320, being succeeded by his
son, Sir William of Douglas of Liddesdale, who acquired
the lordship of Dalkeith (by resignation of the Gra-
hames), the barony of Aberdour in Fife, lands in Tweed-
dale, and great territories in Liddesdale, Eskdale, and
Ewesdale which had been forfeited by the Soulises and
Levels. In 1335 he had a grant of the earldom of
Athol, but resigned it in 1342. The Knight of Liddes-

dale — as he was called by his contemporaries, who re-
garded him as ' the flower of chivalry ' — was assasshiated
in 1353 by his kinsman, William first Earl of Douglas,
partly to revenge his wife's dishonour, partly to revenge
the death of Sir David Barclay, who had been assassin-
ated at the instance of the Knight of Liddesdale, in
revenge for the daughter of his brother John. Dying
childless, he was succeeded by his nephew, Sir James of
Douglas of Dalkeith. This great chief, who died in
1420, saw Froissart sit as a guest at his board ; himself
possessed of books of law, grammar, logic and romance ;
and enjoined in his will that all the volumes which he
had borrowed from his friends should be returned to
them. His alliances were as princely as his life. II is
first wife was a daughter of 'Black Agnes,' the heroic
Countess of Dunbar; his second wjis a sister of King
Robert II. ; and he matched his eldest son. Sir James of
Douglas of Dalkeith, with a daughter of King Robert
III. Their grandson married a daughter of King James
I., and in 1458 was created Earl of Morton. His grand-
son, the third earl, dying without male issue in 1553, the
earldom devolved on his daughter's husband, the Regent
Morton — James Douglas, great-grandson of Archibald
Bell-the-Cat. After his fall, the title went to Archibald
eighth Earl of Angus ; and when he died childless in
1558, it passed to the lineal male descendant of Sir
Henry of Douglas (the son of Sir John of Douglas, the
brother of the Knight of Liddesdale), Sir William
Douglas of Lochleven, who thus became seventh Earl
of Morton. His losses in the great civil war compelled
him, in 1642, to sell Dalkeith to the Earl of Buccleuch,
and his Tweeddale and Eskdale lands to others; but
Aberdour and other old domains of the family still re-
main with his successor, the Earl of Morton, who, there
is every reason to believe, descends legitimately in the
male line from William of Douglas, the great progenitor
of the race in the Tith century.

EARLft, MARQUISES AND DUKES OF QUEENSBERRY, EARLS OF

James, second Earl of Douglas and Mar — the hero
of Otterburn — had an illegitimate son, Sir William of
Douglas of Drumlanrig, whose descendants were cre-
ated Viscounts of Drumlanrig in 1628, Ep-rls of Queens-

death of the fourth Duke of Queensberry in 1810, that
title, with the barony of Drumlanrig and other lands,
went to th^ Duke of Buccleuch ; the title of Marquis
of Queensberry, with the baronies of Tinwald, Torthor-
wald, etc., went to the heir-male of the family. Sir
Charles Douglas of Kelhead, and the title of Earl of

of Wymyss. The title of Earl of Solway had become
extinct in 1778.

of the same marquis was created Earl of Ormond, and
in 1661, Earl of Forfar. In 1675, the fourth son of the

the second son of the tenth Earl of Angus was created
Lord Mordington. In 1633, Sir Robert Douglas of

WORKS RELATINC; TO THE FAMILY.
A HiHtory of the Houses of Douglas and Angus^ by
David Hume of Godscroft, was published at Edinburgh
in 1644, in 1 vol. fol., and reprinted in 1748 in 2 vols.
8vo. It preserves the traditions of the family, and has
some literary merit, but its accuracy is Aot to be trusted.
The earlier history of the Douglases has been critically
examined by the late George Chalmers in his Caledonia,
vol. i. pp. 579-584 (Lond. 1807); by Mr. Riddell in his
Remarks upon Scotch Peerage Law, pp. 174-178 (Edin.
1833) ; by Mr. Cosmo Innes, in the Registrum Episco-
patus Moraviensis, pp. xliv.-xlvii. (Edin. 1837) ; and
the Liher S. Marie de Calchou, vol. i. pp. xxvii., xxviii.
(Edin. 1846) ; and by Mr. Joseph Robertson in the
Origines Parochiale Scotice, vol. i. pp. 152-160 (Edin.
1851). The descent of the Houses of Angus and Dal-
keith was first ascertained by Mr. Riddell in his Remarks
upon Scotch Peonage Lata, pp. 154-164 (Edin. 1833);
and in his Stewart iana, pp. 82-84, 137-142. The char-
ters and correspondence of the Morton family have been
edited for the Bannatyne Club by Mr. Cosmo Innes in
the Registrum Honoris de Morton (Edin. 1853, 2 vols.
4to).
In America nothing relating to the history of the
Douglases has hitherto been published, excepting the
fragments contained in Savage's Genealogical Diction-
ary of New England, and papers from the pens of Mr.
Joshua L. Douglas, of Bath, Me., and the author of the
present work, scattered through various numbers of the
New-England Historical and Genealogical Register. Mr.
Douglas, of Bath, is now at work upon a genealogy of
his own family, descendants of John Douglas, of Boston,
circ. 1717, which he intends publishing {it an early day.
This family, which settled largely in Mahie, is not in-

NEW LONDON FAMILY.
INTRODUCTION.
The ''New London family" has seemed the most fit-
ting designation for this great branch of the Douglases
in America; for, although its members are, at the pre-
sent time, scattered over all lands, and although Dea.
William Douglas, the original emigrant, first settled at
Gloucester, yet he soon removed to New London with
all his family, was one of the first settlers in the town,
always took an important part in its affairs, and became
the head of one of the most worthy families in the
colony ; no inconsiderable number of his descendants
have always settled there, and to this day they form a
large proportion of the inhabitants. New London has
in all times since its settlement been the home of the
family ; and from it they have scattered and gone forth,
until the descendants of Dea. William Douglas are now
found in every state in the Union, in the British prov-
inces, in South America and in many of the countries
of the Old World. It was here that the good old dea-
con passed the noontide and evening of his life ; it was
here that his children's children were born, lived and
died ; it was here that many of his descendants hazarded
their lives and property for their country, both on land
and water ; and it is here that the ashes of ancestors
and descendants, undisturbed by all the changes which
have passed over them during two hundred years, now

rest in the old burying ground on the hill, awaiting the
last day.
The New London family is the oldest and by far the
largest of any included in the present work. It is
hardly necessary to add that it yields to none of the
others in wealth, influence and honor. It would be im-
possible to give a complete record of all its disting-
uished members, for the tracing of descendants through
all the various changes of names which are introduced
into the family by marriages is extremely difficult ; and
to obtain all the descendants of a progenitor who lived
more than two centuries ago would be next to an utter
impossibility. The mantle of the worthy deacon seems
to have descended to successive generations, and the
influence of his character may be seen to-day in the
sobriety, thrift and morality which distinguish his de-
scendants. For four consecutive generations was the
office of deacon handed down from father to son ; and
it is said there always has been and always, will be a
Dea. William Douglas in the family. The precepts of
the first Deacon William were treasured by his children,
and bore lasting fruit in the christian character which
has marked the progress of the family to the present
time. It is but just for the author to say that he has
never heard of one of the family being punished for
any crime, and that the only case of imprisonment by
the authorities which has come to his notice was for
presuming to worship God according to personal cour
victions.
No pains have been spared to ascertain correctly the
early history of the New London family, and especially
to find the direct connection of the emigrant ancestor
with the old stock of Doughises in Scotland. In what
manner these investigations have ])een prosecuted and
what results have ])een obtained, the following will
show. It is comparatively easy, where town records
have been preserved, to trace tlie ancestral line back to
about the time of tlie emigrant's arrival in this country ;
but here, in nearly every case, the line abruptly ends.

All further trace is as completely obliterated as the
wake of the good ship which crossed the Atlantic with
its precious freight so long ago ; and to attempt, with-
out any clue, to fix upon the locality in the Old World
from which the ancestor came is like ''hunting for a
needle in a hay-mow." Such was the case in tracing
back the New London family. No shadow of a clue
could be found previous to 1640, when William Douglas
appears to have been living in Gloucester, Mass. But
in the course of the author's investigations in the sum-
mer of 1876, among the old records of New London,
Conn., whither William subsequently removed, he dis-
covered a deposition before Gov. Bellingham, in Boston,
by Ann Dougla«, wife of William Douglas, which showed
that she, at least, came from Ringstead, Northampton-
shire, England. Feeling certain that the right clue had
now been discovered, he wrote at once, June 8, 1876,
to the Rector of Ringstead parish, asking that the parish
and other records might be searched for any trace of
William Douglas and his family. No answer was ever
received to this letter, and probably it never reached
its destination. After waiting some six months in vain,
the author wrote a second letter, to his friend, William
P. W. Phillimore, B. A., at Snenton, Nottinghamshire,
giving all the particulars he was able, and directing him
to make researches in whatever way he might think
best. An answer was received in less than three weeks,
which was as follows :

find.
I put the questions explicitly to Mr. Sandford. They were
baptisms of William Douglas and two elder children and his
marriage. The clue might be found possibly by making searches
in the various parishes named Ringstead, or by searching the
wills at Somerset House, London, and at the Diocesan Probate
Court.

This seemed conclusive, and no further search in that
direction was then made. But, reluctant to give the
matter up, after nearly a year had elapsed, the author
determined to make one more effort. He wrote direct-
ly to Mr. Sandford in January, 1878, directing him to
have all the parish or other records in his possession, or
which he thought might contain anything relating to the
families of either the Douglases or Matties, subjected to
the most thorough examination, in order to ascertain
with absolute certainty whether they contained any en-
tries relating to these families. The records were ex-
amined w^ith the greatest care by two persons, and the
results are contained in Mr. Sandford's letter :

Dear Sir: — In compliance with the request contained in your
letter of January 16, 1 have examined the Ringstead Parochial
Registers for more than 15 years previous to 1670 for the deaths
of Thomas and Robert Mattle, also for birth of Robert or Ann
or other Matties from 1595 to 1615, also for the marriage of
William Douglas and Ann Mattle, and the baptisms of Ann and
Robert, their children.
Seeing that you expressed yourself most anxious that the Regis-
ters should be searched with the utmost care and accuracy, I have
not only made the search myself, but also entrusted the books to
another party for a further and full investigation, but all we can
find is, in 1595,
" Robert Motles sonne of Thomas was baptized the fifth of
October, in the yeare above wrighten."
Also in 1599,
" William Motley sonne of Thomas Motley was baptd. twenty
6th of Aprill."
This is all the information we can find in reference to any of
the persons to whom your enquiries refer.

or the births of his chfldren.

It will be seen from the above correspondence that
this source of information, the only one which seemed
in any way likely to throw the least light on the subject,
has now been exhausted ; and, although the results ob-
tained are not all which might be desired, the author
feels satisfied, because he has done all in his power, and
because the information, meagre though it be, is more
than has usually been obtained in such cases. It is very
rarely that a family which has been in America much
over a hundred years, can, even after the most laborious
investigation, fix upon the locality in the Old World
from which the original emigrant came, with even a
high degree of probability. ''Seldom or never,'' says

William Courthorpe, Somerset Registrar of the College
of Arms, London, '' can we connect the families of emi-
grants to America at that early period [1645J with their
relatives in England; they were probably design^AlJy
left out of the i]nglish pedigree, and unless they carried
with them to their adopted country a clue to their Eng-
lish ancestry it was soon lost altogether." The same
might be said in regard to families which emigrated
from Scotland, Ireland, France and other countries.
William Douglass came with his family to New England,
in all probability, in 1640, and it is unusually fortunate
that the previous home of his wife, and perhaps of him-
self also, has been ascertained with absolute certainty.
What has been learned, then, concerning the family of
William Douglas previous to his arrival in New England
in 1640, and concerning him and his descendants since
that date may be thus stated.
FIRST GENERATION.
1.
Dea. WILLIAM^ DOUGLAS, was born in the year
1610, without doubt in Scotland, though in what part
of Scotland there is no means of knowing. Had he
been born in England, and been acquainted with his
wife from childhood, there would doubtless have been
some mention of the Douglases on the parish records of
Ringstead, the home of his wife and her family, the
Matties. Ilis father, whose name there is reason to be-
lieve was Robert Dou(iLAS, was born not far from 1588,
and beyond this point no effort has been, able to pene-
trate, in this line. How and where William Douglas
became acquainted with his wife, Ann Mattle, is un-
known ; but their marriage must have taken place at his
pjirish church, probably in 1636, when they were, each
of them, 26 vears old, as their daughter Ann was born
in 1637.

XEW LONDON FAMILY. 55
Ann Mattle was the only daughter of Thomas Mattle,
of Ringstead,*/^Northamptonshire, England, where ^he
was born in 1610, the year of her husband's birth. She
had two brothers, both older than she, Robert, born in
llingstead, Oct. 5, 1595, and William, baptized at the
parish church, April 6, 1599. Of these, William ap-
pears to have died young, no mention being made of
him when the family estate was inherited by Ann ; and
Robert, the eldest of the children, was unmarried or
without descendants at the time of his death, for Ann
was the "next heare." Robert and the father, Thomas,
both died previous to 1670, the latter probably many
years before, and their property fell to. Ann. It thus
appears that Ann's descendants are the only descendants
of Thomas Mattle, who, judging by the birth of his son
Robert, was born as early as 15 Y 5, more than three
hundred years ago.
William Douglas emigrated to New England with his
wife and two children, Ann and Robert, in 1640, though
the exact time of their aiTival and the name of the ship
which brought them are unknown. The very common
tradition is that the company landed at Cape Ann.f Wil-
liam settledat Gloucester, J nearby, but removed to Boston
that same year. The first mention of him on the Boston
records is under da,te of ''The 31st of the 6th moneth,
164(),r [Aug. 31, 1640 ].§ '' William Douglas is allowed
to be a townesman, he behaving himselfe as becometh a

streete fyve rod, three foote, or thereabouts." In De-
cember, 1659, he purchased of William Hough, of New
London, Conn., " the house that was Robert IsbelFs in
New street.'' Soon after, in 1660, he removed with his
wife and three of his children, Robert, Sarah and William,
to New London. That same year he purchased " a house
on the so. side of meeting-house hill." A tract of land
*' by tlMi waterside, on the bank so. of Mr. Raymond's "
was also granted him by the town. He had besides,
two farms, both granted him in remuneration of services
to the town; the first, in 1660, consisting of 60 acres,
and described as being " three miles or more west of
the town plot, with a brook running through it." This
farm was inherited by his second son, William, and has
remained in the family, in the direct line of his male
descendants, for over two centuries. Miss Caulkins, the
historian, speaking of the house in 1865 says: "The

house is very ancient, and a part of it, which has heavy
timbers overhead and is propped with rude posts in the
area, probably belongs to the first dwelling built upon
the spot, which was before 1670."
In the winter of 1662-3, William Douglas and Gary
Latham were appointed appraisers of property for the
town of New London. They duly made their appraisal,
which was delivered to the General Court at Hartford.
But, for some i*eason, the court was not satisfied with
the result, and
"At a Gen" Assembly held at
Hartford, March 11, 16if.
"This Court hauing duly considered the valuation of y* estate
of N: London, apprized by Cary Latham and William Douglas,
doe judge, that they haue not attended any rule of Kighteous-
ness in their worke, but haue acted very corruptly therein, and
therefore doe order the Treasurer that he send forth his Warrant
to y* Constable of N: London, to Levy Four pounds vpon y*
estate of Cary Latham, and Two pounds vpon Mr. Douglas his
estate, as a fine for their corrupt and deceatful acting therein."*
At this proceeding, which was altogether too severe,
the town was indignant ; and, at a Town Meeting held
March 31, it was resolved that,
" Whereas Cary Latham and M' Douglas are by the Court fined
for not fully presenting the town list anno 1662, the town see
cause to petition the court as a grievance, not finding wherein
they have failed, except in some few houses."!
The remonstrance had the desired effect, and
**At a Gen" Assembly of Electors held
at Hartford, May 14, 1663.
" This Court remits Cary Latham and Mr. Douglas fine, w***
was imposed upon them by the Court in March, for there trans-
gressions in maKing their list." J
In 1665, the church at New London began to feel
some uneasiness in regard to their minister's views. In
1661, the Rev. Gershom Bulkeley (so written by himself)

had succeeded the Rev. Richard Bliuinan as preacher.
When he came, he entered into a covenant, as Miss
Caulkins says, ''to become minister of the town on a
salary of £80 for three years, and afterwards more, if
the people found themselves able to give it." Feb. 25,
1664-5, their uneasiness had increased, but the town
voted that '' they were willing to leave Mr. Bulkley to
the libertye of his conscience without compelling him
or enforcing him to anything in the Execution of his
place and office contrarye to his light according to the
laws of the commonwealth."
June 10, 1665. — "The Towne understandinff Mr. Buckleys
intention to goe into the Bay have sent James Morgan and M'
Douglas to desire him to stay untill seacond day com seavent-
night wich day the Towne have agreed to ask agame M"" Fitch to
speake with him in order to know M' Buckleys mynde fullye
whether he will continue with us or no to preach the gosjiell."
The application was unsuccessful ; and Oct. 9, another
town meeting was held, in which "' M^ Douglas by a full
voate none manifesting themselves to the contrary was
chosen to goe to M"" Wilson and M' Eliott to desire
there advise and help for the procurmage of a minister."
Nov. 24, — ''a town meeting concerning what M' Doug-
las hath done about a minister " was held, and they de-
cided to extend a call to the Rev. Simon Bradstreet, of
Boston. In consideration of his journey to Boston for
a minister, twenty acres were added by the town to Mr.
Douglas's farm.
Mr. Bulkeley now stood in debt to the town for his
year's salary, paid in advance; and Jan. 12, 1()66, ''M""
Douglas and goodman Hough are voted by ye Towne to
demand the 80 pound of M^ Buckley which he stands
ingaged to pay to ye towne." It was not, however, till
after repeated duiniing, and Mr. Bulkeley had mort-
gaged his house, that he paid back his salary.
Mr. Bradstreet arrived early in the year, and the town
purchased of Mr. DougUis, a house and lot for the new
minister, until they should build a parsonage. June 1,
it was ^' Voted by the towne that the house now agreed

upon to be built for the ministry and also the house and
land bought of M' Douglas together with ye land which
hath hitherto been reserved for the ministry both to us
and our succeeding generations never to be sold or
alienated to any vse forever." To this day the land is
occupied by the old first burial ground of New London,
and there repose the ashes of the good old deacon.
He was always active in the church economy. There
appears upon the records under date of Aug. 15, 1667,
while he was town clerk: — ''Myselfe chosen to hold the
box for contributions and this to be propounded to M'
Bradstreet to have his advivse therein. William Nichols
is also chosen for that worke." Mr. Douglas was chosen
one of the first two deaccms of the church in 1670.
Dec. 9, 1667, another farm of one hundred acres was
granted him '' towards the head of the brook Jordan
about four miles from town," on the northeast side of
the swamp called "Cranberry Meadow." Across the
farm ran the Indian path from Mohegan to Nayhantic.
It was inherited by his oldest son, Robert, and this, too,
is still in possession of the family in the direct line of
male descendants.
At the breaking out of King Phillip's war in 1675,
the colonists took active measures for their safety. A
General Council was convened at Hartford. At a meet-
ing of this council, May 19, 1676, —
"This Councill doe appoynt and fully impower M' Daniel
Witherell and M' William Douglas of New London to be Com-
missarys to the army at that j)lace or elcewliere as they shall be
aj)pointed, to see to the provisions, arms, ammunition and other
such things as shall be needfull for the warr, and to provide what
shall be wanting and dispose of such things as are committed to
them or either of them, according to such orders as shall be
giuen them, and the duty of that place in all respects: and what
either of them shall doe in attendance of that duty shall be held

thing within the compass of that office; and they are to keep
true accompts of all their transactions, and to render their ac-
conipts, or any estate of the country's in their custody, to such
as shall be impowered to require and receive the same.

Denison send for any Indian com, what he sends for is to be
abatted out of the fifty bushells of com they are to send to Nor-
wich, all of which is to be at Norwich Munday night next."
As may be seen from the foregoing and from the fre-
quent mention of his name on the records of the town,
Dea, Douglas was one of the most prominent members
of the flourishing community of New London. His
education, for those times, was liberal. He was con-
sulted on all occasions of embaiTassment or danger, and
manifested a lively interest in the welfare of his town.
He was one of the townsmen in 1663, 1666 and 1667,
recorder and moderator in 1667 and 1668, sealer and
packer in 1673 and 1674, and on various important
committees from year to year. He was chosen deputy
to the General Court at Hartford in 1672, and once or
twice latei\ He continued to take an active part in the
affairs of the church and town till the time of his death.
The Rev. Simon Bradstreet, in his diary, which is still
preserved,* says : —
'* 1682 July 26, M' William Douglas one of y« Deacons of this
Church dyed in y" 72 year of his age. He was an able christian
& this poor chh will mvch want him."
In May, 1670, Mrs. Douglas made a journey to Boston
and appeared before Gov. Bellingham in order to estab-
lish her claim to an inheritance which had fallen to her
in the old country, f James Johnson and the widow
Elizabeth Meares, then of Boston, but formerly of Little
Broughton, Northamptonshire, testified that they had
known her and her family in England, and that she was
the daughter of Thomas, and sister of Robert Mattle, of
Ringstead. But father and brother were now dead, and

Ann was proved to be legal heir to both. She was at
this time 60 years of age, and was, consequently, bom
in 1610. She must have been possessed of great energy
and endurance, to have performed, at her advanced age,
the journey from New London to Boston and back,
when the conveniences for traveling were extremely
limited. Mrs. Douglas died at New London about
1685. They had but five children as far as known.

ROBERT^ DOUGLAS (William}), born in Scotland*
in 1639. He was a year old when his parents came to
Massachusetts, and twenty-one when he removed with
them to New London, Conn., in 1660. Lands were set
off to him in New London, April 16, 1663. He also
inherited from his father, in 1682, a house and lands in
New street, which he sold in 1700, to his son William.
That same year he gave William two house-lots in New
street, on opposite sides of the town street ; and also a
dwelling-house (on the corner of Douglas street) on
condition of his providing in the house a home for Rob-
ert's unmarried daughters, whenever they should wish
to occupy it. In 1704, he gave William a deed of the
farm of one hundred acres, granted by the town to his
father, and which he had inherited from him in 1682,
together with fifteen acres since added.
Robert was a cooper — a trade which his father had
taught him, and which he in turn taught his son William.
His name occurs frequently on both church and town
records. From 1671, he appears to have taken much
interest in the affairs of the church ; and he served on
important town committees, from time to time. He
died Jan. 15, 1715-6.
He married, Sept. 28, 1665, Mary, daughter of Rob-
ert Hempstead, of New London. She was the first
child of English parents born in the town. Her father
was one of the four inhabitants who assisted Winthrop
in settling the place. The old Hempstead house is still
standing in good repair, and, having been entailed, is in
the possession of the Hempstead family. Mrs. Douglas
died Dec. 26, 1711. Children, all born in New Lon-

Dea. WILLIAxM* DOUGLAS (William'), born in
Boston, Mass., April 1, 1645; baptized March 8, 1646.
He came to New London, Conn., with his parents, in
1660. Lands were set off to him in Voluntown, March
29, 1706, which he afterward sold to his son WilliamV
of Plainfield. He also inherited the farm of sixty acres
in New London, which the town had granted his father
in 1660. This farm he gave to his grandson, William^
son of Richard^, on condition of William's^ living with
him and taking care of him till death.
He and his wife, Abiah, were received into the church
in 1670. The church records also give the dates of ad-
mission of his three sons : —
"July 24, 1689, W. Douglas— oldest son of Deac. Douglas.
"July 20, 1705, Richard I)ouglas Son of Deacon.
" March 6, 1709, Samuel Douglas y" son of y* Deticon."
After the death of his father, in 1682, he was chosen
deacon, an office which he held for upward of fifty
years, until his death. In the ancient burial ground in
New London may still be seen a moss-covered tablet,
carved with curious figures and crumbling with age,
bearing the inscription —

Deacon Douglas was twice married. His first wife,
whom he married Dec. 18, 1667, was Abiah, daughter
of William Hough, of New London, and granddaughter
of Edward Hough, of Westchester, Cheshire, England.
She was bom Sept. 15, 1648; and died Feb. 21, 1715.

Voluntown, which he purchased of his father, Aug.
18, 1715, for "thirteen pounds of good and current
money."
He was one of the little company that covenanted to-
gether and formed a church in Plainfield, in 1705. The
Rev. Joseph Coit was called to the charge of this little
flock, and William Douglas was chosen the first deacon.
In the old burial ground at Plainfield, an ancient grave-
stone bears this inscription : —
"/w memory of M" William Douglas , Who was ye first
Deacon of ye cnu^ of Christ in Plainfield who Departed
this Life August y* 10'* A, D. 1719 in y* 46** year of
his Age,'^
Deacon Douglas died in the prime of life, and greatly
lamented. All the church and town records, and all but
a few files of the probate records, of Plainfield, were
consumed at the burning of the town by Arnold, in
1781. Among the probate records saved, was the will
of Dea. William Douglas. It was dated July 6, 1717,
and proved Sept. 25, 1717. In it he provides for his
wife, Sarah, and eleven children, all of the latter under
twenty-one years of age. His wife was Sarah Proctor,
but no date of his marriage can be found in the New
London records. His eldest two children were bom in
New London, all the others in Plainfield. His widow,
Sarah, was living in 1729, but no record of her death
has been found. Children : — - -

JAMES^ DOUGLAS (William^ William^, William'),
born in Plainfield, Conn., May 20, 1711. His father was
a farmer, and brought up his large family of boys to
follow the same occupation, James and his brothers
worked on the farm in summer, but were sent to school
during the winter months. Possessed of an active mind,
he made such use of these opportunities as to gain a
thorough common school education.
• In 1738 he purchased, in the town of Cornwall, fifty
acres on what was known as Cream hill — so named from
the fertility of the soil. He also purchased that year,
for £400, two rights of Timothy Pierce, an original pro-
prietor of the town. In 1739 he removed, with his
family, to their new purchase. They were among the
first settlers in the town. A small and hastily built
house was soon completed, and James at once com-
menced to clear his land and prepare it for cultivation.
In 1748, ten years after he had purchased the land,
he built a large two story house, and vacated the small
one which had served them hitherto. But in two years,
unfortunately, this house wfus burned to the ground. In
1750 he erected a second house upon the same spot,

and this is still TTT) standing in good repair, being the
oldest house in Cornwall.
Mr. Douglas was one of the most active pioneers in
the settlement of the town. In addition to his farming,
he opened the first school in the town, and, by the
assistance of his wife in the summer, continued it many
years. He also spent considerable time in opening a
gold mine upon his farm, to a depth of some hundred
and twenty feet. Specimens of the ore were sent to
Boston for analysis, and small quantities of gold ob-
tained from them, but the expense of working the mine
was so great that it was finally abandoned.
He married, Dec. 4, 1732, Rachel Marsh, of Plainfield.
She was a woman of unusual energy, and had a good
education. She shared with her husband the incon-
veniences of their newly settled home in Cornwall, and
cheerfully aided him by teaching the school in summer,
in order that he might have more time for the farm
work. He died Aug. 18, 1785. She died April 13,
1790, aged 78 years. Children: —

and remained there some twenty years. In 1766 he

him the year before. When Asa came he brought with
him a company of men who cleared thirty acres of land
and built a large farm-house. The nearest neighbor was
four miles away, and they were obliged to go fourteen
miles to the saw-mill. The garret of the house, which
is still (77) standing in good repair, was used during

child, now ('77) in her 86th year, relates the following
anecdote concerning him, which her mother repeated
to the children on the fourth of every July while she
lived, adding the remark, '' You don't know what this
day cost, but I do."
" On the day New London was burned, my father, as was his
practice, rose early in the morning and went out to look around,
as the British were expected at any time. He soon came back in
great haste, saying that the enemy were Coming and he must get
out his company; and that mother must take care of the three
children. Anticipating such an event, they had already prepared
a place of a safety a few miles out of town, and taking a loaf of
bread in a bag, and the youngest child in her arms, my mother
started thither. When they had proceeded some little distance
one of the children could go no farther; but a man came along
just then and earned her out of danger. When thev returned,
after the British had left, they found the house still standing
but everything was destroyed."
After the close of the war Capt. Ebenezer was ap-
pointed keeper of the jail, and inspector of vessels for
the port of New London. He was a man of decided
Christian character. He died, on Sunday night, Sept.
3, 1798, of the yellow fever, taken while watching with
a friend. His widow survived him 43 years, and died
at St. Albans, Me., Aug. 19, 1841. Children, all bom

pectations here, they subsequently removed the press to
Hanover, a town then embraced in the state of Vermont,
where they published a newspaper for a short time. In
1778, in consequence of an invitation from the newly
formed government of Vermont, they removed their

and the press removed to Windsor, where Mr. Spooner
was afterward engaged in printing with his younger
brother, Aldeil. He entered the army in 1775, and was
present at the battle of Bunker's Hill. He was subse-

RUSSELL'^ DOUGLAS {NnfhfUi\ Thovias^, Rohert\
WiUicnn^)^ born in New London, Conn., March 18, 17G7.
He wa*s apprenticed to a sailmaker in his native place,
and was there employed when New London was burned
by the British in 1781. His employer's business was
interrupted, and Russell was released from his appren-
ticeship. After the close of the Revolutionary war he
went to Boston, and there formed an engagement with
a merchant from Liverpool, N. S., to return to Liver-
pool with him and make the sails for a vessel then on
the stocks. After filling his engagement, seeing the
place offered a good opportunity for establishing him-
self, he opened a sail-loft. His business proved remun-
erative, and he remained in it many years.
During the war of 1812-15, Mr. Douglas was, on
account of his avowed sympathies with the Americans,
the object of much ill will from his neighbors, who were
nearly all loyalists. He never failed to bid off' the
American flags which were brought into port among
other prize goods and sold at auction. In this way a
large number accumulated in the garret over the sail-
loft. Upon one occasion, a workman, searching in the
garret for a signal to inform some sailors at the docks
that their sails were finished, hung out the largest of
these flags. It was seen by some royalists at work upon
a vessel across the river, who hurriedly collected a small
company and, with the British flag flying, put across to
capture the obnoxious standard. They were armed
with calking-irons, broad-axes and such weapons as they
had hastily seized. As they landed the privateersmen
came up for their sails. Both parties had l)een drinking
too freely, and, mistaking each other's intentions, en-
gaged in a skirmish. The ship-carpenters were quickly
driven to their boats and obliged to put back without
accomplishing their i)urpose.
In the latter part of 1813 a British ship of 44 guns

prisoners. They were crowded into the jail and court-
house; but no provision had been made in the little
port for victualing all these men. Mr. Douglas immedi-
ately applied to the authorities for permission to open
his sail-loft for cooking and washing for the prisoners.
It was reluctantly given, and they were allowed to go
there, two at a time, under guard, to bathe and wash
clothes. The prisoners-were detained in Liverpool for
over a week, and then sent to IJngland. For this act of
humanity and patriotism Mr. Douglas received no com-
pensation.
Intemperance was prevalent in Liverpool, and Mr.
Douglas used his influence to suppress it. The first
temperance meetings w^ere held at his house, and he
was instrumental in forming a strong public sentiment
against the evil. A temperance society was organized,
and by the cooperation of some of the most influential
citizens, the practice was in great measure broken up.
He was active in the cause until the time of his death.
He died Aug. 17, 1849, at the age of 82.
Mr. Douglas married, Feb. 3, 1793, Miiry, daughter of
Josiah and Eunice Godfrey, of Liverpool. She was a
native of Boston, Mass., born March 1, 17f!9. She died

Rev. CALEB^ DOUGLAS {John\ Thmias^ Robert^
William^), born in New London, Conn., Feb. 11, 175(3.
When he was four years old his parents moved about
five miles into the country, where he received such an
education as was common in those days. He learned
the trade of nail making in Hartford. When he was
twenty years of age a revival of religion began in his
neighborhood, and his mind was powerfully affected.
But it was not till 1779 that he openly made a j)rofession
of religion, and united with the Separatists in Lyme.
In October of that year he removed, with his wife and
child, to Middletowu, and joined a church of the same
order.
**In 1785," he says, " I removed to Sandisfield, Mass., where
I found myself in a very destitute region. No religious denom-
ination mtiintained publie worship within seven miles. In these
circumstanees I felt irresistibly urged, with one other individual,
to establish a meeting. In conducting divine worship, I endeav-
ored, as far as I was able, to instruct the people, without enter-
taining a thought of ever attempting to preach."
«
In 1791 he removed to Whitestown, N. Y. After
much reflection he experienced a change of feeling on
the subject of infant baptism, and united with the Bap-
tist denomination. He received the ordinance of bap-
tism at the hand of the Rev. Stephen Parsons, being one
of the first persons ever baptized in Whitestown. Not*
far from this time, a Baj)tist church was formed in the
village of Whitesborough, of which he became a mem-
ber. In 1799 he was chosen deacon of this church ; and
on the 7th of January, 1802, was set apart, by ordina-
tion, to the work of the gospel ministry.
** In 1803 he yielded to the earnest solieittitions of his brethren,
and consented to take the pastoral charge of the church in Whites-
])orough, which he continued with fidelity and success till 18UJ,
when he was succeeded by Elder Oalusha, Tliis transfer of his

welfare of the ehurcli at Iiome was not dimiiiished, his evangeh-
cal hibors in destitute neighborhoods, and among feeble churehes
abroad, were more abundant. Thus he spent eiglit happy years."
In February, 1 824, he was attacked with inflammation
of the eyes, which gradually increased till total blind-
ness ensued. In September of this year he removed,
with his family, to Gorham, at which place he remained
till his death. From the 15th of May, 1833, he was
almost wholly confined to his bed. llis last days were
those of intense suffering. Ilis disease progressed rap-
idly, and on Sept. 27, 1833, he fell asleep at the age of
77 years. Mr. Douglas was twice married. His first
wife, whom he married Nov. 20, 1777, was Bethiah,
daughter of Jonathan and Esther Chapel, of New Lon-
don. She was born S^pt. 10, 1758, and died Aug. 19,
1788. He married, second, Feb. 10, 1789, Sarah,

Fish,* of North Stonington. She died without issue,
in 1766, aged 27 years. Prof. Benjamin Silliman, of
Yale College, her nephew, says : —
*' In addition to her beauty, she was distinguished by brilliant
wit and vivid sentiment, as appears in her letters still preserved.
But she was cut off by the small-pox, accidentally taken, at the
early age of twenty-seven. Secluded from the society of all her
friends, except that of her devoted husband, Mr. Douglas, she
died in a pest house near New Haven. Emerging from a tem-
porary hallucination, occasioned by her malady, — on being in-
formed of her immediate danger, she uttered distinctly a j)rayer
of twenty minutes in length, in exact method, with well chosen
expressions, and without repetition, and perfectly appropriate to
her situation and that of her husband^s friends.
Mr. Douglas married, second, Elizabeth, daughter of
Henry Smith, of Brook Haven, N. Y. She was bom
Jan. 3, 1743-4. Mr. Douglas died Dec. 3, 1775. Mrs.

the Congregational Church of North Stonington. He commenced his

of the Pilgrim Fathers to set foot upon Plymouth Kock in 1620. Priscilla
Mull ins, whose parents were also passengers in the May Flower, has been
made famous by the well known poem, **The Courtship of Miles Stand-

* Good Old Times ' at Plymouth," in Harper's Magazine for January, 1877,
gives interesting information about the Alden family.

Quebec, in 1759, and the speedy termination of the war.
He soon after removed from Plainfield to New Haven,
where he engaged in the seafaring business, and soon
became commander of a merchant ship sailing between
New Haven and the West Indies. In this he was very
successful, and accumulated a fortune considered in those
days more than ample.
At the breaking out of hostilities between this country
and Great Britain he abandoned the water and raised a
military company in New Haven. He was commissioned
captain of this company. May 16, 1775, and immediately
proceeded to the north with provisions and supplies for
the troops under Montgomery. When he reported.
Gen. Montgomery, finding he was a good seaman, re-
quested him to take command of the flotilla on Lake
Champlain. He accepted the position of commodore of
this little fleet, and in the fall of 1775 rendered impor-
tant service in the seige and capture of St. Johns, at the
head of the lake, — taking large quantities of provisions,
arms and other military stores, together with cannon
which were carried across the country and used in the
defence of Boston.
Early the next year, 1776, he raised a regiment of
soldiers in the vicinity of New Haven, of which he was
commissioned colonel by Gov. Jonathan Trumbull, June
20, 1776. As soon as the regiment wa6 equipped he
marched to New York and joined the Continental
army under Gen. Washington. He participated in the
disastrous campaign of Long Island, taking part at Har-
lem Heights, White Plains, Philips Manor, Croton River
and New York. In the battle of September 15 th, his
clothes were perforated by bullets and his horse shot
from under him. In this engagement he became so ex-
hausted that, in connection with subsequent exposure,
he lost his voice, and was never able afterward to speak
a loud word. From the day of this battle until toward
the middle of December, he was so constantly on duty
that he rarely slept beneath a roof

joined the army, New Haveti, being in an exposed posi-
tion, was continually harassed by the British soldiers,
who were driving the families of the whigs out of their
houses at the point of the bayonet, while the homes of
the tories were protected from molestation by the royal
soldiers. To save his young wife and children from
these annoyances. Col. Douglas purchased a farm of 150
acres about eight miles from New Haven, in the town of
Northford, and moved his family thither. When he was
disabled at the battle of New York, and was no longer
able to render service to his country, he returned to his
family in Northford, where, surrounded by those nearest
and dearest, and comforted by their ministrations, he
quietly breathed his last on the 28th of May, 1777, at
the early age of 35 years.
Here, while he was on his dying bed, speculators came
out from New Haven, and persuaded him to sell his New
Haven property, and paid him in Continental bills.
These bills became, after the war, almost worthless, so
that 'Col. Douglas's family lost all his large property in
New Haven by the depreciation of the Continental
money. It is a histing shame to our Government that
it has never redeemed its Continental currency. Thus
Col. Douglas literally sacrificed his life and fortune for
his country. He was not only a brave and faithful
officer, but a true patriot and christian. The letters
written by him to his family, often from amid the dan-
gers of camp, evince at once the warmth of his affection
and his self-denying patriotism and firm reliance on
God. A modest brown stone monument in the old
burial-gi'ound at Northford, marks the last resting place
of this patriot of the Revolution.
Col. Douglas married, July 5, 1767, Hannah, daugh-
ter of Stephen Mansfield, of New Haven, where she
was born Nov. 17, 1747. She was sister of Col. Jared
Mansfield, who was at the. head of the West Point
Military Academy, and subsequently Surveyor General
of the United States, about the beginning of the present
century. Mrs, Douglas survived her husband forty-

SARAIP DOUGLAS (John\ WilUam\ WilUam\ Wil
liamy), bom in Plainfield, Conn., April 18, 1744. She
married, Sept. 23, 1762, Dr. Elisha Perkins, of Lisbon,
brother of Capt. "Simon Perkins, who married her sister
Olive. He was the son of Dr. Joseph Perkins, and was
born in Newent Society ^Norwich), Jan. 16, 1741;
studied medicine with his lather, and settled in Plain-
field. He became widely known from his invention of
"Tractors."* He also introduced with great success a
powerful antiseptic remedy, and during the prevalence
of the yellow fever in New York in 1799, he visited
that city to try the efl&cacy of his remedies upon that
formidable disease. After about four weeks of assidu-
ous labor, he took the disease himself, and died Sept. 6,
at the age of 58.
"My grandmother, Sarah Douglas," writes Mrs. Charles Coit,
of Norwich, " has ever been represented to me as a woman of un-
common force of character, as well as great sweetness of spirit,
and a most earnest and devout christian, training her large family
of ten children all to be useful members of society. Her husband
was a physician of great skill and large practice, which called
him much from home. Yet he founded and largely sustained
the Academy in Plainfield, which is still flourishing. As there
was no other resort for them, he opened his large house for the
* A description of the "Tractors," of the success and worid-wide fame
attending them, may be found in Thatcher's Medical Biography. The
letters patent granted to Dr. Perkins, and signed by G. Washington, in
1796, are in the possession of William Birnie, Esq., of Springfield, Mass.
A sketch of Dr. Perkins, is given in Appleton's New Cyclopaedia. Por-
traits of Dr. Perkins and his wife, Sarah Douglas, executed in crayon, by
their daughter, Mrs. Sarah (Perkins) Grosvenor, are in the possession of
their granddaughter, Mrs. Charles Coit, of Norwich, Conn.

scholars from other towns, and at times his family numbered
fifty, all provided for and made comfortable by his admirable
wife, who was his sympathizing and capable friend in every good
work. Dr. P. often received invalids into his family, who, by
his wise treatment, were restored to health. One of them Wiis
the Hon. James Biirrill of vour city, member of Congress, and
grandfather of George Willfam Curtis; another the Hon. Calvin
Goddard, sent to Congress from this district, who told me tliat
when he left college, ne went to Plainfield in poor health, aild
with all his worldly possessions in a pack on his back. He was
most kindly received by my grand-parents, made teacher in the
new Academy, comforted, encouraged and helped in every way»
and became one of the first men in Connecticut, — Mayor and
Judge, and used often to say, * If I have any goodness or hospi-
tality in me, I owe it to Dr. and Mrs. Perkins.' He never tired
of praising my grandmother as the noblest of women, and often
added he had never seen her equal. I have often heard similar
testimony to their liberality and hospitality from other aged peo-
ple, and been delighted by their recital of instances of the chris-
tian-like living and working of Dr. Perkins and his most excellent
and pious wife; and it is from what I know of lier and my own
dear mother that I get my impression of the Douglas blood."

parents removed to New Hartford, where she married,
about 1762, Jonathan Merrill, 2d. He was born in
1734. They settled on the premises now ('77) owned
by Norman N. Bidwell, — then West Simsbury, now
Canton. They had three sons and four daughters, who
settled in family state, and left children. But no trace
of them can be found in the shape of records. It is
supposed they went to Pennsylvania and New York,
excepting Jonathan, Jr., who settled in New Hartford,
and whose descendants have kept up their interest in
the homestead and family connections.

Albany, and so cut off New England from the other

the fii-st man to cut down a tree and begin a clearhig.
His father followed him the next year, with a company
of workmen, who built a large house and cleared thirty
acres of land. Mrs. Douglas lived here six months before
she saw anothef white woman. Their nearest saw-mill
was fourteen miles away, and the nearest neighbor four.
This town was afterwards, by a change in the state line,
brought into Rensselaer county, N. Y., and became a
part of Stephentown. Mr. Douglas was a captain in
one of the Revolutionary companies, and rendered im-
portant services at the battle of Bennington, where he was
sent out as a spy upon the British works, and brought
back valuable information. He had upon his farm a
store, and a forge where the smithing for many miles
around was done. He died Dec. 29, 1811. His wife,

NEW LONDON FAMILY. 139
He married in 1,771 Martha, daughter of the Rev. John
Rathbone, and settled in Stephentown. In 1780 he
removed to Albany, where, in company with a cousin
named Wheeler, a nephew of his mother's, he opened a
store, and for several years continued in business, the
firm name being Douglas & Wheeler. About 1798 his
property in Albany was destroyed by fire, and he made
a journey to Brant's ford, Ca., where he remained about
a year with Capt. Joseph Brant, the famous chief of the
Six Nations of Indians. In 1799 he removed with his
family to Canada, and settled on the Grand river, in the
midst of the Indians, where the city of Brantford now
stands. After a few years he removed about eight
miles to the west, where he took up a tract of about 500
acres, receiving his lease from Capt. Brant. There he
carved out a home in the wilderness, and was able to
spend his later years in comparative comfort, leaving the
homestead to his son Stephen. Wheeler and his wife
were staunch Methodists, and their house was the home
of the early itinerant preachers. His son Stephen, at
the age of 19, brought into this home in 1809, the
daughter of an old and prominent itinerant minister, who
was only 16 years of age ; and for sixty years they dis-
pensed the same generous hospitality that had been
found when the older ones had control of the family
mansion. For many years preaching was held in their
house, and several of their children were named after
the preachers and their wives. Wheeler Douglas died
at the home of his daughter Harriet, in Smithville, in
January, 1829 ; and his wife Martha at the same place,
Nov. 28, 1837, at the age of 84. They had ten chil-

1780. She removed with her parents, in 1797, to Wal-
lingford, Vt, and there married, in January, 1806, the
Hon. Jacob Houghton. He was then a lawyer, living
in Troy, N. Y. The following extract from a letter of
their daughter, Mrs. Bradish, written in March, 1877,
gives an interesting account of their life on the New
York frontier : —
^' In 1811 they removed to Chautauqua county, N. Y., then an
almost unbroken wilderness. Where the city of Rochester now
stands were one house and a mill. Buffalo was a frontier post,
and a very small village. Mr. Houghton designed to live in
Mayville, the county seat, and visited the place in the spring
and engaged a house to be built for his family in the fall. The
journey was very long, as they went with wagons and horses.
When they reached Mayville, the house had not even the cellar
dug. His goods were put on board a schooner at Buffalo, to be
landed at Portland harbor, now Barcelona, the nearest port on
Lake Erie. The schooner was blown back to Black Rock, and
the season was so late there was no possibility of their reaching
Mayville. The only house to be obtained was at the mouth of
Cattaraugus creek, now Irving, thirty-three miles from Mayville,
This jouniey was taken in ox-teams, following blazed trees, and oc-
cupied five days. He soon concluded to settle at Fredonia, then
caned Canadawa, and bnilt there, in 1812, a house, which, with
the exception of three years spent in Mayville, he occupied until
his death, and which still belongs to his children. Soon after
the burning of Buffalo, feeling the frontier to be unsafe, the
family returned for a few months to Wallingford. Judge Hough-
ton died of apoplexy July 30, 1861, aged 84 years. Mrs. Houghton
died Jan. 2, 1871, after three hours' illness, aged 91, in fuU pos-
session of all her faculties except hearing, bright and active to
the last."

Thoma^^ Roherf^ WiUiam^\ born in New London, Conn.,
Jan. 22, 1783. He removed, in 1797, to Wallingford,
Vt, and early married Elizabeth Hamilton, of Tinmouth.
About 1814-5, he emigrated to the vicinity of Fredonia,
N. Y., and settled on a farm there. He was at one time
sheriff of the county — Chautauqua. His brother-in-law.
Dr. Silas Hamilton, was a large slave owner in Louisi-
ana. About 1825, he freed his slaves and located them
on land purchased for the purpose, near Alton, 111. But
this colony of freed-men did not prove a success, as the
slaves would not remain there, but scattered in different
parts of the country. In 1830 Mr. Douglas, at the re-
quest of Dr. Hamilton, went to Alton and occupied the
whole tract. Here he remained until his death, which
occurred about 1847. He had at least seven or eight
children, of whom the following are all which are know^n

brother Christopher to Springville, N. Y., in 1811 ; re-
turned to Vermont at the close of the year, and married
Lucy Townsend, of Wallingford, in 1812 or 1813. In
1814 he emigrated to Fredonia, N. Y. In early life he
was a tanner, but afterwards, and for most of his life, a
farmer. He was for one term, commencing about 1830,
sheriff of Chautauqun county, N. Y., and in 1840 was
a member of the state Legislature. Soon after this he
emigrated to Michigan, and settled on a farm near Ann
Arbor. He died at Detroit in 1848. His wife died

store there for a number of years. Their golden wed-
ding was celebrated in Cambridgeport, Mass., June 3,
1863. Mr. Hyde died at Newton Centre, Mass., Aug.
19, 1870. Mrs. Hyde, now (78) in Ijer 86th year, sur-
vives her husband, and resides in the family of her
daughter, Mrs. Richardson, at Newton Centre. The
last survivor of her father's large family of twelve chil-
dren, she still enjoys a remarkable degree of health, and
with the exception of a slight deafness, retains her facul-
ties unimpaired. During the summer of 1877, she paid
a visit to her daughter, Mrs. Appleton, in Providence,
during which the author enjoyed the pleasure of calling
upon her, and of receiving a call in return. She has
manifested a deep interest in the success of the Douglas
Genealogy, and has by her retentive memory rendered
invaluable assistance in tracing the descendants of her
grandfather, Capt. Nathan Douglas, who was the great-
grandson of Dea. William Douglas, the original emi-
grant. Mrs. Hyde has had eight children : —

RUSSELL« DOUGLAS {Russell^ Nathan\ Thorna^,
Robert^^ William}), born in Liverpool, N. S., Feb. 6,
180L At the age of twenty he united with the Meth-
odist church in Liverpool. He left home June 20, 1822,
to visit the United States and seek his fortune. In June,
1823, he established the first sail-loft at Chatham (Cape
Cod), Mass., which encouraged the townsmen to fit out
and rig their vessels at home. He remained here till
June, 1826, when, at the request of his father, he re-
turned to Liverpool and entered into partnership with
him. In August, 1829, he established a sail-loft on the
Bristol side of Liverpool river. Intemperance was at
this time prevalent in the place. With the aid of his
venerable father, at whose house the first temperance
lectures were given, he was instrumental in forming a
large temperance society, and in creating a strong pub-
lic sentiment against the practice. The efiect of this
society was immediate and lasting, and Liverpool to-day
is a stronghold of temperance.
In 1834, Mr. Douglas made a journey to Ohio to in-
vestigate the claims of his father to a pait of the '' fire
lands " in that state. He was so much pleased with the
country that his father presented him with his portion

of 55 acres. In June, 1835, he removed with his family
to New London, Huron county. After remaining here
several years, failing health compelled him to seek
lighter employment. He disposed of his property and
removed to Berea. In 1849, he established the first
sail-loft in Sandusky. He now resides ('78) at Point
Marblehead, having been postmaster there for several
years.
He married, June 27, 1824, Temperance Foster,
daughter of Stephen and Mercy Ellis, of Chatham.

CHARLES CARROLL^ DOUGLAS (Charles,^ Ka-
than\ Thoma^^ Roberf^ WilltaTn})^ born at Sag Harbor,
N. Y., May S, 1826. At the age of 18, he began the
study of miniature painting with Thomas Hazard Parker,
a distinguished artist, with the intention of making it his
business. After painting with Mr. Parker three years,
and when about to begin the practice of his art, he
found, much to his disappointment, that recent improve-
ments in daguerreotyping had rendered that process so
perfect as in a great measure to supercede the painting
of miniatures on ivory. He determined to learn the
new art, and, going to New York, entered the studio of
J. Gurney, the well-known artist of that city. Here he-
remained until he became proficient in the business, and
then established himself at Sag Harbor. In 1848 he
made a tour of the Southern states, and on his return
gave his attention to photography, which was a great
improvement upon daguerreotyping. Taking a partner
in his business, he remained at Sag Harbor till the year
1855, when, owing to delicate health, brought on by
the use of chemicals employed in his business, he deter-
mined to abandon it for a more healthful occupation. He
accordingly purchased a farm at Bridgehampton and re-

sided there till 1868, when he returned to Sag Harbor.
In 1875 he removed to Glastonbury, Conn., where he
purchased a farm in the central portion of the village,
upon which he now (78) resides. He married, May 23,
1853, Henrietta, daughter of John and Deborah Ed-
wards, of Bridgehampton. Children, the oldest two

ESTHER* DOUGLAS {Caleh\ John\ Thrnna^, Roh
erf^WiUtaTn})^ born in New London, Conn., July 25,
1778. In 1791 her father removed to New York state,
and settled in Whitestown. She married, Aug. 17,
1797, Elisha Payne, of Whitestown. Mr. Payne was
born in Lyme, Conn., Dec. 13, 1762. He was first
married, Sept. 17, 1787, to Mary Brooks, of Lyme, who
was born Jan. 12, 1766. By her he had four children:
Abraham, John, Mary and Samuel, of whom all but the
latter married and left descendants. Mrs, Mary Payne
died in 1796. Mr. Payne died Feb. 4, 1843.
Esther Douglas was a woman of great energy. She
possessed the faculty which New England women have,
of making the best of circumstances, and which pecu-
liarly fitted her for pioneer life. On one occasion, soon
after her marriage, her husband made a journey to Phil-
adelphia, with a drove of cattle, leaving her to manage
affairs at home and protect the stock from the bears and
wolves. Upon his return he gave her a "vacation"
and she made a journey on horeback thirty miles,
guided only by blazed trees, to visit her father, the
Rev." Caleb Douglas, then settled at Whitestown. She
died Sept. 12, 1853, aged 75 years. She was the
mother of fourteen children, bom in Hamilton: —

Feb. 23, 1770.' Like his father, the brave Col. William,
he early entered the service of his country. The his-

day before the awful massacre, and defying all the dan-
gers of the way, and compelled to swim his horse across
the Thames, near New London, he safely delivered his
dispatches. No doubt had the war of Independence

performed deeds fitting his name and lineage ; but peace

ALANSON« DOUGLAS (Wheeler^, Asa^, William^
WilUam^ WtlUam})^ born in Stephentown, N. Y., Feb.
11, 1779. At the request of the authoi' the following
sketch of him has been prepared by his son William B.
Douglas, of Rochester: —
" He was educated a lawyer, settled in the village of Lansing-
burgh, and there entered upon the practice of his profession.
He married, June 12, 1803, Anna, daughter of the Hon. Solo-
mon* and Mrs. Tamma (Thompson) Sutherland, of Stanford.
In Weise's History of Troy, which village was the rival of
Lansingburgh, the name of Alanson Douglas is given among the
leading lawyers of that district. In 1806 he was appointed sur-
rogate of Rensselaer county. In 1811, by an act of the Legisla-
ture of New York, the bank of Troy was incorporated, and Mr.
Douglas was elected cashier. At this time it became evident that
the location of Troy, three miles below Lansineburgh, on the
same side of the Hudson river, was superior to tnat of its rival,
and that it would eventually supersede Lansinffburgh as a com-
mercial and manufacturing town. These considerations operated
upon the mind of Mr. Douglas, as they did upon the minds of
other leading men in Lansingburgh, and induced a removal to
Troy, and tne acceptance by Mr. Douglas of the position of
financial officer of the bank of Troy. The institution was suc-
cessful and prosperous under his management, and he was re-
garded as one of the ablest bankers in the state. In 1827, Mr.
Douglas was invited to take the cashiership in the Chemical
bank in the city of New York, and, accepting it, he removed to
that city. But he found a residence in New York less to his
taste than he had anticipated; and, on being elected, in 1829,
cashier of the Merchants and Mechanics' bank, of Troy, then
iust chartered, he decided to resign his office in the Chemical
bank and return to the city of Troy, endeared to him by many
*He was a state Senator from Dutchess oo., iust reelected for a term of
four years, at the time of his d. His grandfather came from Scotland in
1729 (in the same vessel that brought the Clintons) and settled at Horse
Neck, Mass. His father. Col. David Sutherland, removed with him to
Bangall, N, Y., 25 miles from Poughkeepsie, where Anna was b. April 7,
1784.

Talned associations. He entered on his duties as cashier of this
bank at its opening, in 1829, and continued until 1836, when he
resigned the office and was succeeded by his son, Charles S.
Donrias.
'^ On thus retiring from the activities of a business life at the
early age of 67, with unimpaired mental and physical powers,
Mr. Douglas withdrew for the most part from public responsibil-
ities, and devoted his time to the care of a lar^e personal estate,
and to reading, for which he had a decided fondness. He was
by nature endowed with a clear intellect, which was strengthened
and developed by the study and practice of law, and furtner en-
larged and quickened by his connection with business and finance.
An exact thinker and close observer, governing himself and his
business by fixed principles and not oy untested theories, as a
lawyer, a banker, a man and a christian, he always commanded
the confidence of the peoi)le among whom his lot was cast. His
will was strong, while his nature was gentle and affectionate.
His habit was to concentrate his attention and strength upon the
responsibilities that, in Qod's providence, were laid upon him,
ana he was content with success therein. After about two years
of failing health and increasing infirmities, borne patiently and
without a murmur, in the entire possession of his mental lacul-
ties, revealing to those in close contact with him much of the
childlike simplicity and affection which chai'acterized his nature,
combined with his unusually clear thought and foresight, he fell
asleep, at his home in Troy, on the 9th day of April, 1866. His
widow survived him until Feb. 28, 1869."
To the foregoing excellent sketch of Mr. Douglas's
business lif^ are appended some reminiscences by his
daughter irary, now^ Mrs. George Miller, also prepared
at the request of the author, which exhibit his character
in more domestic relations. Mrs. Miller thus writes : —
"My remembrance of my father in my youth was that of a
man moving with quiet dignity among his children and ser-
vants, methodical and neat in all his ways — never hurried. I
remember no instance of procrastination in either my father or
mother. Doing every thing at its proper time, he .was always
ready for emergencies, and his life seemed to me a leisurely one,
for he read much daily, and generally slept a while on the sofa
after dinner. When I would playfully say to him, * Mother is
the one to rise early, and work hard,' he would smile and say,
'But I do the head-work.' He left the entire management of
his children to her; and I have often seen her go across the hall
to the bank door, (the banking-house being in the same building
with his dwelling) and say, * Mr. Douglas, will you come and

whip this or that boy,' and he would come, administer the whip-
ping, without knowing what it was for, and at once return to his
business. As his children became older he talked more with
them, and I was sometimes deeply touched by his frank acknowl-
edgment of his besetting sins, in conversation with me. As
they gi'ew up and left home, he could scarcely read a letter from
then^ without his voice faltering from emotion. He was an ex-
cellent reader, and was very appreciative of poetry. I remember
being particularly impressed with his manner of reading aloud
tlie Book of Job. After he made a profession of religion, the
Bible, and commentaries upon it, constituted a large part of his
r€fading. ** Pilgrim's Progress " was a favorite book with him.
Published with notes, he read it over and over again. From the
little, tract, "Come to Jesus," he gleaned much comfort the last
year or two of his life. He was a very kind son and brother.
To his sisters he was tenderly attached. Three of them, as well
i\js his parents, lived in Canada West. They were warm-hearted
Methodists. I visited them with him, when I was about fifteen
years old, and also when I was twenty- two; and I remember well
their loving intercourse, and how he enjoyed listening to their
singing of Methodist hymns. I remember too his generous in-
terest m his sister Mary and her children, who lived at Albany,
only six miles away from him; also his frequent visits to his sister
Martha at Sand Lake, and his peculiar attachment to her daugh-
ter Mary, who was in delicate health, and to whom he left a
special bequest. One of the pleasures of my childhood was the
accompanying him in his freciuent visits to his sister Content, at
Waterford. 1 enjoyed much iiis conversations with her husband.
Gen. Samuel Stewart, a most lovely, genial man. Their daugh-
ter, afterwards Mrs. Ten Eyck Lansing, was a favorite with him
and with us all. %
" While his son Sutherland was preparing for the ministry, in
the years 1824 and 1825, he grew earnestly desirous that his
father should become a christian (he had always been a regular
attendant at church), and corresponded with him on the subject.
In the winter of 1825-6, the Rev. Charles 6. Finney held a
series of special religious services in Troy, in connection with
Dr. S. S. Beman, pastor of the First Presbyterian church. Hav-
ing studied and practiced law, his preaching, in the earlier years
of his ministry, seemed peculiarly adapted to impress men of the
legal profession. My fatlier went regularly to hear him, and I
remember how solemnly he was impressed by one sermon of Mr.
F.'s, in which he dwelt on " Sin as an infinite evil, because com-
mitted against an infinite God." A clerk in his bank, an earnest
member of Dr. Beman's church, at this time made him a subject
of special prayer. A few months after he made a profession of
religion in the Protestant Episcopal church. To the close of his
life, however, the accumulation of wealth continued much to

engross him. With my husband and my youngest child, I spent
the last three months of my father's life with him. He often
expressed his doubts of his preparations for an exchange of
worlds, and one sentence was often on his lips — 'How can I
expect peace now, when I have led such a worldly life?' His
nights, at the last, were spent in an easy chair, within my hear-
ing, in the next room. When waking, I often heard his voice
in prayer, and one expression was very frequent-^* Blessed Spirit,
do thy office work in my heart.' The day he died, as I stood by
his bedside, he said to me, * Mary, I want you to make up f or
what I have failed to do, in giving to the Lord.' "
The will of Alanson Douglas, drawn by himself, was
a long and admirably written instrument, and on its first
publication excited much curiosity, and attracted the
attention of legal and financial circles. Among its pro-
visions, after providing annuities for his brothers and
sisters, he left a bequest of $100,000, to be equally
divided among his nephews and nieces in eight equal
annual payments. He had six. children, all born in
Lansinburgh, except the last two, who were born in
Troy:—

STEPHEN VAN RENSSELAER^ DOUGLAS
(^Wheeler' ^ Asa^^ William^ ^ William^ ^ WilUam})^ born iu
Stepheutown, N. Y., March 24, 1790. He was six years
old when his father removed to Canada, and settled
where the city of Brantford now stands. He married,
March 12, 1809, Caroline H., daughter of the Rev.
Thomas Whitehead, a minister of the Wesleyan Metho-
dist church in Canada, and President of the Conference
in 1840. All their married life was spent on the farm
his father had cleared in the township of Brantford, and
within eight miles of Brantford city.
*^He was," says one who knew him well, "a man of strict
moral character; and although he never united with the church,
still he was a regular attendunt on tlie services of the house of
God, and always welcomed the ministers to his hospitahle home.
His wife was a model mother and noble christian woman, with a
strong, retentive memory and well-balanced mind; and by her
precepts and practice, trained up their very large family in the
paths of righteousness and duty. They both lived to see their
children grown up, and most of them settled in life; lived to see
the wilderness removed and the fruitful fields and fine farm houses

Dea. ISAAC' DOUGLAS, D. D. S., {Nathan^ Calelfi,
Johri^, Thoma^^ Robert^, William^)^ born in Troy, Mich.,
May 25, 1830. The following sketch of Dr. Douglas is
principally taken from a work just published, on the
'^Eminent and Self-Mad^ Men of Michigan," for which
it was prepared by one who ha.s been an intimate friend
of his for many years : —
" Isaac Douglas had in early life only the advantages of a win-
ter school, when he could be spared from the duties of the farm.
During Jiis 20th summer, he studied dentistry with his elder
brother, Calel) 8. Douglas, wJio had an office temporarily in his
fatlier's Jiouse. TJie winter previous to and summer following
his majority lie continued studying with his brother at Romeo,
wliere the latter had settled. He remained with Caleb until his
deatli, in June, 1852, when he continued the business in liis own
name. In the fall of 1852, finding that in order to practice his
profession thorouglily, lie needed a better knowledge of medicine
than could be obtai.ned from dental books, he began the study
of medicine witli Dr. Wyker, of Romeo. In 1854, his health
failed, and he was obliged to relincjuish his profession in part,
and receive medical treatment. He continued in ill healtJi for a
year and a half under allopathic treatment, when he changed to
homeopathic treatment, and at the end of four weeks was able to
resume professional duties. At this time he began the study of
homeopathy with Drs. Ellis and Drake, and in the winter of
1858 entered the Homeopathic Medical College, at Cleveland, 0.
Hero he pursued one course of lectures, passing all the examina-
tions and taking a high standing in Jiis class. Returning to
Romeo, where there was no settled physician, he cheerfully i"c-
sponded to calls for his medical services, at the same time pur-
suing his dental duties until 18G5, since which time he has given
his entire attention to dentistry. Since 1865 a number of young
men have studied with him, including Jiis brothers Henry t". ana
Elon (1., both of whom are now practicing dentistry wnth marked
success, lieside others who have become physicians, allopathic
as well as honie()})athie. As an example of his skill, it may ho

vstated that he put in nineteen fillings in six liours,and had the
satisfnotion of seeing tliem seventeen years afterward all in good
condition. The longest time he Inis ever devoted to one filling
was ten and a half hours, and the largest number ever put in in
one year was 119C. From Jan. 1, I8i>(), to Jan. 1, 187*2, he put
in 4394 fillings, only seventeen of which had to be replaced with-
in two years of the oi)eration. He was one of the organizing
members of the Michigan Dental Association, and always made
it a point to be present at its meetings, contributing greatly to
their interest by verbal and written discussions. He has occupied
every office in the association excei)t those of secretiiry and treas-
urer, both of which he has declined. He was also one of the or-
ganizing members of the Michigan Homeopathic Institute, and
was connected with it until its dissolution. In May, 1877, he
was elected a member of its successor, the Michigan Homeopathic
Society. As a recognition of his large experience, and his repu-
tation as a practitioner and contributor to dental science, the
degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery was conferred u])on him by
the Ohio College of Dental Surgery, in March, 1871.
**Dr. Douglas became a member of the Baptist church in
Troy in February, 1844, and at the early age of 16 was appointed
a church committee. In 1853 he changed his membership to the
Baptist church in Romeo. In 187:^, in consecpience of a change
of views, he severed his connection with the Baptist society,
since which time he has been connected with the Congregational
church in Romeo. For seven summers past he has been superin-
tendent of a Sunday-school in the county adjoining his own.
For the seven years i)revious to his uniting with the Congrega-
tional church, he was one of the deacons in the Baptist church
in Romeo, and for five years the leading member, paying from
one- tenth to one-eighth of tlie current expenses of the cliurch.
He has been a generous contributor to christian societies of vari-
ous denominations, heli)ing largely to build up the cause of
religion in his locality. In politics the doctor has always been a
republican. In a professional way he is considered very gener-
ous, largely favoring the poor when commanding his services,
either making very light charges or none at all. His habits have
always been strictly temperate. In 1876 he joined the Sons of
Temperance, and in April, 1877, he became a member of the
Knights of Honor. He married, Oct. 2, 1852, Elizabeth Clark,
who, with her parents, emigrated from Bedford, England, in
1834. They were shipwrecked oif New York harbor, after being
on the ocean 21 weeks, losing everything, and barely escaping
with their lives. Dr. Douglas has had four children, three girls
and one boy": —

in Oakland, on which he lived till the spring of 1866,
when he removed to Romeo, to study dentistry with
his brother. Dr. Isaac Douglas. He remained with his
brother two years. After that he followed his profes-
sion in Richmond till October, 1869, when he removed
to Fen ton, where he is still (77) practicing dentistry
with marked success. He united with the Troy Baptist
church in February, 1844 ; removed his membership to
the Mount Vernon church in 1864, and to the Romeo
church in 1866. In 1869 he took his letter from the
latter church, and, with thirteen others, organized the
church at Richmond, of which he was elected clerk and
trustee; but he soon removed his membership to the
Fentcm church. He has been a successful leader and
teacher of vocal music, having led the choir in every •
church of which he has been a member, and also of
three Methodist churches, where there was no Baptist
church. He has also been an earnest Sunday-school
worker, having had charge of two mission schools, and
b(^en superintendent of the school at the Fenton church
for nearly four years. In May, 1854, he married Mary
Iinvood, a member of the Romeo Baptist church. She
was born in Hampshire, P^ngland, Dec. 25, 1832; re-
moved to Washington, Mich., when four years old; was

JOHN' DOUGLAS {WilUain\ William'', John\ Wil

" lie early l)egan to exhibit signs of rare mechanical genius,
and although *bj his father's will and according to family tradi-
tion he was to })ossess the family estate, he renounced his claims
and removed to New Haven to begin life as an humble mechanic.
He first found employment in the cabinet shop of Mr. Seth Bliss,
afterward secretary of the American Tract Society, of Boston.
Mr. Bliss soon leaving his business for the Congregational minis-
try, Mr. Douglas set up a general machine works, first in Artisan
street, afterward removed to State street. The older citizens of
New Haven will bear witness that in tlie quarter century of
its existence this humble establishment exceeded in the variety
and perfection of the work it sent forth any other in the world.
The work-rooms were the freiiuent resort of some noted scien-
tists of the last generation. Here tlie visitor might see, lying
in what ai)peared to be inextricable confusion, half finished
parts of almost all known machines, from the largest fire engine
to the most delicate surgical instrument. And tlie wonder was
that everything worked. There was no failure in any adjust-
ment, nor fatal cheapness of material in anything that left the
hands of John Douglas. In 1830 he made the first 'Douglas
pump.' Though lie continued to manufacture these while he
lived, he never exerted himself to extend their use beyond his
own city. The honor of building up the extensive manufactory
which now sends its pumi)s to every quarter of the globe, and
has gained premiums at every International Exhibition, is due to

the extraordinary energy and business capacity of his youngest
brother, the Hon. Benjamin Douglas, of Middletown/ Indeed
John Douglas never sought to ^ make money '. To provide for a
table whicii was never without its guests, to pay promptly his
debts, with a dollar over to lend to some of his less prosperous
acquaintance, to hear his clocks in the city steeples striking the
hour together, — this was his life. Though while he lived it
seemed humble and obscure, yet when in middle life he passed
away, men recognized his worth and gave it the tribute of one
of tlie largest funeral processions the city had ever witnessed."
He married, April 17, 1825, Anne Carter (or Cotter,
as it appears in old records of Braiiford). He died Dec.

WILLIAM' DOUGLAS {WiUinm', \ViUiam\ Jolm\
WtlJunn^, Wnifaju^ Willimn^)^ born in Northford, Conn.,
Jan. 19, 1812. Having received a plain English educa-
tion, he devoted himself to acquiring the business of a
machinist, with his brother John, residing in New Haven.
For this pursuit he was admirably qualified by a decided
mechanical talent, which he early developed. He re-
moved to Middletown in 1832, and started business in a
very small way, with W. H. Guild, as a job machinist
and manufacturer of small engines.
In 1839, in company with his younger brother, Ben-
jamin, he bought out Mr. Guild, and established the firm
of W. & B. Douglas, now the oldest and most extensive
manufacturers of pumps in the world. At first the two
brothers labored with their own hands most diligently,
doing all the critical portions of the work themselves,
and performing the duties, not merely of mechanics, but
also of packer, clerk and salesman. The first year of
their enterprise the number of pumps sold was about
300 ; within two years they produced and sold as many
in a week; and now they find a market for a number
which seems almost incredible.
William Douglas died April 21, 1858, at the age of 46
years; and the management of the business devolved
upon his brother Benjamin. '*He was a man of good
sense, thoughtful, reflective and intelligent, delighting in
scientific investigations, and devoted to mechanical pur-
suits, lie was a man of few words, modest, gentle, un-
assuming, valued and resi)ected in the community in
which he dwelt, yet shrinking from all public notoriety.
He delighted in the enjoyment of the domestic circle,
and well fulfilled the duties of a husband, a father and a
friend."
He was twice married. His first wife, whom he mar-
ried April 12, 1835, was Grace Caroline, daughter of
Elias Parker, of Middletown, and sister of the w4fe of
Benjamin Doughis. By her he had two children, but

Hon. benjamin^ DOUGLAS {\ViUirm\ William'^,
Joh7t\ Williaju^j William^^ Willinm^), born in Northford,
Conn., April 3, 181fl. At the age of IG he applied him-
self to the trade of a machinist; and, in 1836, began
working with the firm of Gnild & Donglas, at Middle-
town. In 1839 he and his brother William, who had
established the business in 1832, purchased the whole
interest, and continued it under the now well-known
name of W. & B. Douglas. For three years their busi-
ness was that of an ordinary foundry and machine shop,
supplying steam engines and other work of such des-
cription to the surrounding factories. But, in 1842, they
invented the celebrated revolving stand pump, and first
conceived the idea of introducing pumj)s as a regular
article of manufiicture and commerce. The idea was
entirely novel, and their beginning was very small.
Their first orders were not large, but their expectations
were more than realized. They producc^l an article the

convenience and advantage of which were at once ap-
preciated by the public, and their trade rapidly increased.
In the spring of 1858 William, the senior partner,
died, and the entire control c)f the business devolved
upon Benjamin. By a special act of the Legislature of
Connecticut the firm was. formed into a stock company,
of which Benjamin is the president ; and thus the busi-
ness was enabled to be carried on without obstruction or
embarrassment. By adopting the principle of making
their articles invariably good, they have earned the con-
fidence of their customers, and established faith in their
own integrity. A vast trade is the natural and necessary
consequence, not merely in the United States, but in the
Canadas, South America, the Sandwich Islands, the West
Indies, Australia, Europe, Asia; — in a word, in almost
the entire civilized world, do they find a market for their
manufactures, and a steadily and rapidly increasing de-
mand for their wares. The popular estimation of their
productions is evident from the fact that wherever
hydraulic machines have been exhibited, they have in-
variably been awarded the first honors, including the
highest medals at Paris in 1867, at Vienna in 1873, at
Philadelphia in 1876, and at Paris again in 1878.
Mr. Douglas has several times represented his town in
the General Assembly of the state. He was mayor of
the city of Middletown from 1849 to 1855. He was
lieutenant-governor of Connecticut in 1861 and 1862,
and presidential elector, casting for Abraham Lincoln
one of the six electoral votes of the state, in 1860. By
intelligence and strict attention to business, Mr. Douglas
has been mainly instrumental in building up, from a very
small beginning, a new industry, until it has expanded
into its present immense proportions. The author does
not feel at liberty to say all he could wish, but cannot
deny himself the gratification of stating that Mr. Dou-
glas possesses in an eminent degree the properties which
qualify him for his present responsible position. Gentle
and unassuming, but yet experienced, sagacious and
determined, he appears admirably adapted to administer

1828. On the 23d of the following November, he received
lu'iest's orders from Bisliop Hobart, in St. John's church in the
city of New York. A naturally delicate constituticm soon
yielded to the demands and responsibilities of the care of souls.
lie sought relief by a change in the sphere of his labors, but
soon, with broken health, was constrained to seek rest and res-
toration in foreign travel. The last sermon he i)reached in
America was well suited to one so soon to end his earthly
course. Its subject was *Life, the Infancy of Being.' June 10,
1830, he sailed from New York for England. Travel and rest
and change seemed to be restoring him to healtli. He arrived
in London, the last of April, the year following, on his way
back to his own country, was suddenly seized by a fever, and
died May 6, 1831. His body was placed in the family vault of
the Rev. Daniel Wilson, then vicar of Islington, afterward
bishop of Calcutta, where it awaits the resurrection of the dead
at the last day."

Hon. STEPHEN ARNOLD' DOUGLAS, LL. D
{Stephen^ Bemijah\ Asa^ Willimiv', WnUam\ William'),
born in Brandon, Yt, April 23, 1813. The following
sketch of him is taken from Lippincott's Biographical
Dictionary : —
He studied in an academy at ('tinandaigua, N. Y., from 1830 to
1833. He adopted the j)rofession of law, removed to Illinois, in
1833, and began to practice at Jacksonville, lie soon became an
active politician and popular orator of the democratic party,
who, in allusion to his small stature, gave him the name of **the
Little Giant." He was nominated for Congress in 1838, but was
defeated by a small majority. In the canvass for President, in
1840, he distinguished himself as a "stump speaker." He was
elected judge of the Supreme Court of Illinois, in February,
1841. In 1843, he was elected a member of Congress, in which
he advocated the annexation of Texas to the Union. He repres-
ontod Illinois in the Senate of the United States from March,
1847, to 1853, during which term he was chairman of the com-
mittee on territones. He supported Clay's *^ compromise moas-

territories maintained that Congress should not interfere, but
that the people of each territory should be permitted to decide
whether it should be a free state or a slave state. This was called
the doctrine of ** popular sovereignty," of whicli Pouglas was the
reputed author. He was re-elected a senator of the United States
for a term of six years, 1853-59. In January, 1854, he reported
from the committee on territories an important bill organizing
the territories of Nebraska and Kansas. This bill, which was
afterward passed, and by which the Missouri compromise was re-
pealed, produced a great excitement, and was denounced by many
northern democrats, who, on this account, separated from their
party. In the national democratic convention of 1856, Buchanan
and Douglas were rival candidates for the nomination, which the
former obtained. Douglas opposed the admission of Kansas, in
1857, under the Lecompton constitution, and was thus involved
in a controversy with President Buchanan and a majority of his
party in the Senate. This affair caused a division of the demo-
cratfc party, and those who acted with Douglass were styled anti-
Tjecompton democrats. Henceforth Buchanan and Douglas were
bitter enemies. In 1858 Illinois wiis the arena of a memorable
contest between Douglas and Abraham Lincoln, who were com-
petitors for the office of senator of the United States, and can-
vassed the state in joint discussion in various places. Douglas
gained his election as senator, receiving 54 votes out of 100. He
was supported by a majority of northern democrats as candidate
for President at the national convention which met at Charles-
ton, in April, 1860. This convention adopted a platform which
wiis in accordance with his policy and was not satisfactory
to the extreme southern politicians. Tlie delegations of Ala-
bama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansiis
and Florida then withdrew from the convention. On the first
ballot Douglas received 145, and no other candidate received
more than 42. Having taken more than fifty ballots without
effecting a nomination, the convention adjourned to meet in Bal-
timore in June. He received 181 votes at Baltimore, and was
.declared the regular nominee. The seceders nominated John C.
Breckinridffc, and thus rendered the election of Douglas almost
hoiKjless. The latter, however, advocated his cause by many
public speeches in the northern and southern states. At the end
of the contest Doughis received only twelve electoral votes. Af-
ter the rebellion began he supported the goverment in efforts
to suppress it. On the 25th of April, 1861, he made a patriotic
speech at Springfield, 111., before the Legislature. He died at
Chicago, June 3, 1861.
He married, first, April 7, 1847, Marthy Deny, daugh-

fatigues of the first three months were too severe for his
health, and he was obliged to resign this office, though
he continued his pastorate. The only respite he took
was to revisit his native state for the first thne in twelve
years. Though undertaken solely for health, this jour-
ney had the good eifect of bringing the desolation of the
.southern churches before northern christians,' and led to
the rebuilding of several church buildings destroyed dur-
ing the war. Since this time he has been secretary of
the diocese, editor of the diocesan paper, delegate to the
Board of Missions, and to the General Convention. In
18G8, seeing the great need of raising up a home supply
of clergy, he organized the Bishop Green Associate Mis-
sion, at Dry Grove, which is his present ('77) place of
residence. He received the degree of Ma^ster of Arts
from Trinity College in 1854, and of Doctor of Divinity
from Columbia College in 1871. He married, Oct. 20,

NEW FAIRFIELD FAMILY.
1750-1878.
INTRODUCTION.
This family the author presumes to be in reality a
branch of the New London family. A number of facts
incline him to this opinion, but as no absolute proof has
been discovered, the family has been given a separate
place and name. The exact truth might, perhaps, have
been learned from the records of New Fairfield, Conn.,
whither the family has been traced, had they not been
completely destroyed by fire in 1867. Diligent search
has been made to trace the ancestral line one or two
generations further back, but without success; and its
connection with the New London family, if such there
be, will probably not be discovered, unless by accident.
The following account of Thomas Douglas and his de-
scendants has been prepared almost entirely by Richard
D. Douglas, A. B., [13. J, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and the
author wishes to express to him, as well as to all who
have in any way assisted in collecting the records, his
thanks for their interest and help. It is possible that
Mr. Douglas may at some future time publish a more
extended account of the family, and all additions and
corrections may be sent to him at Brooklyn.

FIRST GENERATION.
1.
THOMAS^ DOUGLAS, who was born about 1750,
was living in New Fairfield, Conn., a few years prior to
the Revolutionary war. His wife, Eleanor Seeley, was
born in New Fairfield, May 21, 1754. Probably they
were married in 1771. In 1773 or 1774, while their
first child was an infant, they removed to Pownal, Vt
At the breaking out of the Revolution, in 1775, Thomas
Douglas entered the army as a volunteer, and marched
to Boston, Mass. His first engagement was at Bunker
Hill, where he fell, mortally wounded, as a neighbor of
his who had accompanied him reported to his wife.
She mourned his loss for more than three years, and
then married William Stewart, by whom she had one
son, William. After the close of the war, Mrs. Stewart
was sitting one day knitting or sewing, with her two
children, Ebenezer Douglas, aged about eight years,
and William Stewart, aged about three, playing near
by, when Thomas Douglas walked into the house. The
scene which ensued Ebenezer never forgot, and he re-
lated it many years afterward to his descendants. It
appeared that Thomas had not been wounded, but
stunned by a ball striking the buckle of his cross-belt,
and not recovering until the patriots had been swept
from their advanced position, he became a prisoner in
the hands of the British. He was sent to the infamous
prison-ship at Halifax, N. S., where he was confined
during the entire war, not being allowed to communi-
cate with his family,* or let them know of his where-
abouts. At the close of the war he was released, and
coming home found, like Enoch Arden, that his wife
had supposed him dead, and had married again. An
arrangement wtus made whereby Mr. Stewart paid Mr.
Douglas a certain sum for the property which had come
by his wife, and the latter retired to Prescott, Ca., leav-

ing his wife to procure in due form a bill of separation
for desertion. Mrs. Stewart finally removed with her
children to Ticonderoga, N. Y., where she died, Dec. 5,
1822. She had but one child by Thomas Douglas: —

AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
1715-1878.
[Note. — The records of this family, as well as those of *' other
Xew Jersey families," which immediately follow them, have been
collected entirely by tlie Rev. Malcolm l)ouglas, D. D., of Aiid-
over, Mass.; and the author wislies here to acknowledge his
indebtedness to him, not only for these records, but for assistance
in following up the clues to various families scattered through
the book, as well as for many kindly suggestions during the pro-
gress of his investigations. For two years past Dr. Douglas has
devoted much time and attention to the work of tracing the his-
tory of the various New Jersey families of Douglases, writing
^several hundred letters, making a journey to New Jersey and
personally examining the records in various parts of the state
during tlie time, and in fact doing everything in his power to
make this part of the Douglas history complete. Both Dr.
Douglas and the author return thankful acknowledgments to the
various individuals who have kindly interested themselves to an-
swer inquiries, and beg that at any time hereafter each and every
person who can furnish corrections or further additions to the
following lists of New Jersey Douglases, will forward them to
Dr. Douglas, who will enter them m their proper places in an
interleaved copy, in order that they may be available to any his-
torian who may in the future undertake a second edition of this
part of the work. J

420 DOUGLAS GENEALOGY.
rXTRODrCTION.
As e<arly as 1G71, the name of William Douglas, of
Bergen, N. J., appears upon record, and reappears in
1686. In 1686, William Douglas and Charles Douglas
arrived at Perth Aniboy, in the expedition organized by
George Scott, Laird of Pitlochie, in Scotland. From
1686 to 1725 others of the name also appear upon
record. In regard to these various families, it is as yet
impossible to make out an authentic genealogical record,
except of the most fragmentary kind. As New Jersey
was the scene of stirring events during the Revolution-
ary period, it is probable that many records which might
have thrown light upon family histories were destroyed
or lost. Such facts, however, as have thus far been
ascertained will be found in the following lists. They
may lead others to eiuiuire and possibly to discover the
lost links of relationship.
As we approach the middle of the 18th century two
or three fiimilies can be traced more distinctly. Be-
tween the years 1700 and 1725, at least four contem-
porary Douglases were born in or moved into the
counties of Morris and Essex: viz., Samuel Douglas, of
Basking Ridge, then West Hanover, David Douglas,
(born about 1715-20), of Hanover Neck, Samuel Dou-
glas, of Hanover Neck, and John Douglas, of Newark.
Of the last two mentioned we have thus far no particu-
lars, unless it be in a will dated June 25, 1773, in which
Samuel Douglas, of Hanover, mentions his wife Mary,
and his four daughters, Elizabeth, Hannah (who is be-
lieved to have married William Dixon, July 13, 1758),
Charlotte and Martha, one of whom, it appears, married
a Prudden, of Hanover Neck. John Douglas, of New-
ark, may have been the same with one John whose
father, Nathaniel, was living at Hanover Neck in 1757,
and probably in 1764. Some have thought that the
three last named above were brothers, and nearly re-
lated also to Samuel, of Basking Ridge, but as yet there
is no reliable evidence on these points.

P]ven after the most diligent research the following lists
are in some respects partial and imperfect ; partly be-
cause many of the departed have left little or no record
of their knowledge of descents and relationships, and
partly because the living do not alwjiys realize the in-
terest and importance to themselves and their children
of the information which they actually have close at
hand. It is hoped that the publication of these papers
will prove the most direct way to secure the correction
of en'ors, if any, and the su})ply of omissions, and per-
haps full lists of other branches of the name in New
Jersey.

"The unfortunate destruction of his private and business
papers by fire, not long after his death, deprives us of one im-
portant means of information in regard to him. He lived for a
time in Pompton, where one, at lejist, of his children was born.
He was for many years one of the resi)ected firm of Vanderpoel

Marcus, bought an iron furnace and forge, with TOO acres of
woodland, in Hloomingdale. Being disa])|)ointed in this invest-
ment, he moved, in 181G, to Caldwell. There he died, Mav 15.
1824. His letters to his son, David B., from 1813 to 1824, show
good training, sound judgment, and a systematic mind. In re-
spect of style and accuracy they will compare favonibly with the
letters of any well trained business man of these days. He was
a deacon in the First Presbyterian church, Calclwell, from
1819-24. He was a proficient in music, lie was a quiet, reso-
lute, devout man; one who ruled his own household well. In
his wife Sarah, daughter of Capt. David Bates, whom he mar-
ried Jan. 15, 1782, he was cxcei)tionally blessed. She was bom
March 31, 1702, and died Jan. 22, 181(). She was the sister of
David Stanhope Bates, of Bochester, a civil engineer of eminence
who was assistant engineer on the middle divisions of the Erie
canal, and afterward chief engineer of canals in Ohio. Uis life
is given in Stuart's Civil and Military Engineers of America.
The father, Capt. David Bates, of Whii)pany, was a remarkable
man, of great and varied experience. lie died Sept. 7, 1820,
aged 95 years, in the enjoyment of his full mentiil ])ower and
faculties of observation and perfect memory, almost to the last
day. His wife was Phebe Tappan, of Morristown, *an accom-
plished lady of ({uiet and winning manners.' Sarah, his daugh-
ter, and the wife of Mr. Douglas, was a woman of singiuar
clearness of understanding, sound judgment and decided charac-
ter. Of her and her husband the Kev. Dr. Samuel H. Coxe thus
writes: * One who though not inelocjuent wiis fluent and pointed,
and mighty in the scriptures, the venerable and now, I trust,
glorified Mrs. Douglas (wife of the excellent and now, I trust,
glorified person with whom I then boarded), a lady to whom,
under (iod, I am happy in the opportunity of recording my deep
obligations; she ever succeeded in disi)utation by that celestial
weaponry with which I was unprovided, and which she used with
skill and courage against the light within and all its arrogant
manifestations. / attribute my conversion to chriatianity very
much instrumentally to her wisdom, benevolence and valor for the
truth,^ And the late Rev. Simeon R. Jones, of Elmira^ N. Y.,
thus wrote: *I began to tread the i)edagogic round in Nathaniel
Doughis's family, and such a family in this age is rara avis in
terris. Christian faithfulness and candor existed and was prac-
ticed in that familv, and as far as possible there was perfection of
parental harmony In the family government and order.' *'

*^ Major Douglas in stature was several inches above the me-
dium height, slender, but finely proportioned, with an energetic,
earnest movement and distinguished military presence. His fea-
tures were strongly marked and striking; his hair was dark, and
his eyes black, large and restless; his voice deep-toned and firm.
With brilliant conversational powers he combined a manner of
address polished, quiet and unostentatious. His spirit was deeply
religious; ho superintended with pious vigilance tnc education of
his family."— (Gen. C. B. Stuart).
" He possessed great powers of analvsis, which he exercised,
not in a captious or doubting spirit, tut that he might better
know and form the material whereon to exercise that facufty
of his intellect which 'was more peculiarly his characteristic,
the constructive talent.* Hence whatever he knew he knew
thoroughly and systematically. Hence his views, his opinions,
his aims, were all definite. Hence the depth and clearness of jiis
instruction. Hence in conversation he was still the teacher, and
without any of the forms of argument, his discourse, clear in its
own light, was full of information." — (Dr. Hale).
* Plans and drawings prepared by him in 1838 or 1889, for a high l)ridge
over the East River, "near where the present high bridge is situated, and
for a tunnel, with carriage-way, under the river, are now in the i)ossessiou
of his family.

JAMES DOUGLAS,
OF VOLUNTOWN, CONN.,
AND HIS DESCENDANTS,
1677-1878.
FIRST OENEUATION.
JAMES^ DOUGLAS, was born in 1697, without
doubt in the northern part of Ireland, probably in Ul-
ster county. It is almost certain that he was the son of
William Douglas, who was born in 1677, or before,
and that his mother's name was 'Elizabeth.* lie mar-
ried, in Ireland, at the aj^e of twenty, and with his wife
Janet and son William, emigrated to Connecticut in the
summer of 1721), and soon after settled in Voluntown,
where a colony of his countrymen were already located.
* This is rendered almost certain by tlie custom of giving the cliildren
f>atronymic8 which was carried to the greatest extent among tlie Scotch and
rish, and which here has evidently been followed out to the last degree.
The oldest son was named for the father's father, the oldest dan. for the
father's mother, the second son for tlie mother's father, the second daii. for
the mother's mother, the third son for the father and the third daii. for the
mother. James's third son was named James and his third dau. Janet, and
presuming the other children also to have been named in accordance witli the
custom, it appears that James's parents were named William and Elizabeth
Douglas, and that the names of his wife Janet's parents were Samuel and
Margaret. James's fourth son, John, was probably named from an uncle.

"Among the first settlers of Voluntown, Conn., were a num-
ber of the thrifty Scotch-Irish, of whom large niinihers emigrated
to New England and Pennsylvania early in the last century.
The most of those who settled in Voluntown were from Ulster,
the extreme northern county of Ireland, and separated' from
Argyleshire, Scotland, by the narrow North Cliannel. They
formed so large a proportion of tlie inhabitants of Voluntown,
that tliey organized a Presbyterian churcli, the first, and for
many years the 'only one of the denomination in Connecticut,
and called to be their pastor the Rev. Samuel Dorrance, himself
lately arrived from Ireland, l)ut a gradiuite of Glasgow Univer-
sity in Scotland. From these old Scotch-Irish families, the
Campbells, Dixons, Douglases, Edmonds, Gibsons, lloustons,
Uunters, Kassons, Kegwins, Kennedys, Parkes, Wylies, and
others, have descended many of the prominent men of Connec-
ticut, as well as of other states west and south wiiere their de-
scendants have settled.'' — Dofcjlas's Robert Campbell and his
Descendants,
James Douj^las and his wife, Janet, having procured
letters of dismissal from the church of which they were
members ])efore leaving Ireland, were received into the
church in Voluntown ''upon their certificates," with a
number of others,* Nov. 30, 1729. Four years later he
purchased of Dr. Thomas Leavenworth, of Stratford, a
tract of land in Voluntown, containing 80 acres, and
''all right in undivided lands not laid out." The deed
was given at Newtown, May 20, 1734, and recorded in
Voluntown, May 27, 1734. In it the purchaser is styled
"of Stonington," which is just south of Voluntown.
This farm was situated on the east side of Ekonk hill,
near where the line between Voluntown and Sterling
now runs, and contained some of the best land iu the
town. Here he erected a forge and followed his trade
of blacksmith. He was the first, and for many years the
only blacksmith in the town, and in the newly settled
community, composed entirely of farmers who depended
upon him to keep their cattle and horses shod and farm-
ing tools in repair, assumed a position of importance

second only to that of the minister. The inventory of
his property shows a complete set of blacksmith's tools,
which he bequeathed in his will to his son Samuel. He
is remembered as a man of magnificent physique, a true
type of the stalwart and sturdy Scotch-Irish. He was
constant and faithful in his church relations, having his
children baptized in infancy, and bringing them up
strictly in the faith of their fathers. By his industry
on the farm and at the forge, he accumulated a property
larger than most of his neighbors could boast of, and he
passed the later years of his life as a country gentleman,
in such style as the limited resources of the little settle-
ment could aflford. His negro servant, Quacko, was
devotedly attached to his master, and surviving him,
lived to a great age, being cared for by the family. In
the inventory of his estate, Quacko is valued at £50,
while four oxen were worth only £20. James Douglas
died Jan. 15, 1770, in his 73d year, and was buried in
the parish l3urial-ground, which is still used by the
church, and where his head-stone, a large slab of blue
slate, covered with quaint and elaborate carvings, still
remains, one of the oldest and handsomest in the ceme-
tery.* His wife, Janet, survived him, and died Feb. 8,
1779. Children:—
* This cemetery, known as the " Plains," has, within two or three years,
been greatly improved in appearance, the alterations being made at the
expense of Joel K. L. Douglas, of Thompson, a great-grand-son of James
Douelas. The whole front has been remodeled, the old wall which had
stood probably from the time when the place wtis set apart to the purposes
of burial being replaced by a substantial wall with heavy iron gates. The
Douglas monument, erected by Mr. Douglas in 1875, the largest and most
costly in the cemetery, is on the eastern side of the centraT avenue, just
after entering the mam gate. The grave of James Douglas is on the west-
ern side of the central avenue, near the southern wall. The headstone
bears on its western side the following inscription : —
IN MEMORY of Mr.
James Douglas
who died January 15
1770 in y« 73* Year of
his age.
This world is nothing. Heaven is all.
I have lost nothing by my fall.
Tell all my friends that for me weep
I am not dead but fast asleep.

SECOND generation.
WILLIAM^ DOUGLAS (James'), born in Ireland,
probably in Ulster county, Feb. 15, 1728; came with
his parents to Connecticut in 1729, and was brought up
on the farm in Voluntown, where they first settled.
*' When a young man William used winters to drive his father's
stock, sometimes numbering thirty head, from their farm at
Ekcmk down to another whicli his father owned near Bejich pond,
to feed out hay to them. At such times he lived in a small cabin
which had been built for the purpose, and tended the stock. Du-
ring one of these winter visits there came a long, dreary snow
* Ro])ert Jackson's reputation as a clever cabinet-maker has come down
to our time. A few pieces of his workmanship are still in existence. A
^eat armchair, which he made at the time of his marriage, and which,
after his death, i)ecame the property of his wife's nephew, Joseph Douglas,
is still (77) in daily use in the family of Joseph's daughter, Mrs. Dmah
Douglas, a lady of 85 years, in Voluntown. The chair is made in the gen-
erous fashion of a century ago, and is of the kind known to our grand-par-
ents as "flddle-back." It luis been in constant use for more than a hun-
dred years, serving as cradle for a score or more of babies, and to all
appearance is as strong as when it left the maker's hand. Since the above
was written Mrs. Dinah Douglas died, leaving the chair to the author, in
whose possession it now (*78) is.

storm^ uncommonly severe even for a New England winter. His
small store of provisions was nearly exhausted, and it was im-
possible to find his way through the woods and huge drifts of
snow to where food could be obttiined. He had noticed during
the day a large flock of quails hovering about the cabin, and,
having a little corn, he strewed it along to his door, which he
left open. The hungry quails soon found the train of corn, and,
following it along, came into the cabin, when he (juickly closed
the door and secured them. They furnished him with food until
the storm abated, and he could get to his friends. At another
time he heard what he supposed to be an Indian climbing an
oak tree which gi'ew beside his stone chimney, and attempting to
come down the inside. He quietly pulled out a large armfiu of
straw from his bed and threw it on to the smouldering ashes in
the fire-place, when it burst into a bright blaze and the intruder
made haste to scramble out and take himself off." — (Earl Dou-
glas, 1875.)
This land William inherited from his father. About
1758 a farm house was built upon it, similar in style to
the oldest farm houses now standing. The huge stone
chimney was placed at the west end, and a large addi-
tion was subsequently built beyond the chimney. Here
all of William's children were born. The oldest half of
the house was taken down about 1830, and the more
recent part has now been demolished twenty-five years
or more. When the author visited the spot in the sum-
mer of 1875, the old chimney had partially fallen over
and the cellar was filled with the stones and an apple
tree of some twenty years' growth. William was a
man of sterling qualities, and possessed an earnest chris-
tian character. He brought up his children to habits
of industry and frugality, and accumulated a property
which in those times was considered ample. His estate
he bequeathed, after the custom of his ancestors, almost
wholly to his eldest son, James. During the last years
of his life he suffered much from his eyes, and he finally
became nearly blind. He died at his home July 7,
1806. He married, first. May 1, 1760, Mary Pettis,
who died Dec. 29, 1779, aged 49 years; second, Dec.
13, 1781, Martha Adams, of Richmond, R. I. He and
his first wife, Mary, were buried in the old Douglas

burial ground near the western shore of Beach pond,
in Voluntown. Martha Adams was a woman of great
energy and ability, keen and intelligent, and possessed
of an admirable faculty for governing the large family
of children who had been left orphans by the death of
their mother, whose place she filled as far as it was pos-
sible for her to do. She had no children of her own.
Subsequent to the death of Mr. Douglas she married
John Richmond, of Exeter, R. I., whither she removed,
and where she died about 1822. Children, born in

JOSEPIP DOUGLAS (William^, James'), born in
Voluntown, Conn., Sept. 2, 1756; rnarried, Aug. 11,
1791, Mary, daughter of Lieut. James Campbell, b}- his
wife Dinah Macmain, and grand-daughter of Dr. John
Campbell, the first physician of Voluntown. She w<as
born in Groton, July 8, 17G3. He purchased a farm in
Voluntown, on the southern side of the lake called by
the Indians ''Pancamack," and now known jus Beach

pond. Here he erected a substantial farm-house, on a
hill overlooking the lake, and commanding an extensive
and beautiful view of the surrounding country. In this
house, he says in a memorandum still preserved, '*we
went to keeping house February 15th day, 1792." It
is now ('77) occupied by the widow and daughter of
their son, Henry W. Douglas. Upon the southern side
of the great stone chimney may still be seen, in quaint,
old-fashioned characters, the inscriptiori, ''J D 1791."
The daily life at Pancamack farm, as remembered by tlie chil-
dren who grew up under the paternal roof, presents a pleasing
picture of the domestic and social relations which existed among
the better class of Connecticut farmers in the latter part of the
proceeding century and first part of the present. Joseph Douglas,
himself a man of unwearied industry, brought up his children to
habits of strict economy, but gave them all the advantages of
education in his power, and was careful that they should obtain
the benefit of whatever social life there was at that time in the
rather sparsely settled region. He had built his house on a high
hill near the southern shore of Pancamack lake, from which a
magnificent view of the mirror-like sheet of water below, dotted
with woody islands, and enclosed in its border of white and glis-
teuing saud which gave it its later name of "bea<3h pond," and
of the surrounding country for several miles, pleasantly diversi-
fied by hills and woods, was obtained. But it was not on account
of the beautiful scenery alone that he had chosen this spot for his
home and built his dwelling by the shore of the lake. There the
land was richer, and lay more open to the warming rays of the
spring sun. The lake was filled with various kinds of fish, hith-
erto undisturbed, which furnished a welcome variation of the
plain but wholesome diet of the farmer's table. Small game was
plentiful in the woods. The boys set snares for the (juails, par-
tridges and rabbits which they knew would be found dangling by
the neck, or peering with friglitened eyes from the traps the next
time they were visited; and many were the foxes and raccoons
which suddenly gave up their life with a spasmodic kick at the
sharp report of the shot-gun. There were also in the woods
numerous swarms of wild bees which every summer furnished
quantities of delicious honey; and it was a day long looked for-
ward to, when, e<|uipped with his com}>ass to guide him through
the woods, the father set out with the older boys upon a bee-hunt,
from which they were sure to return at night-fall laden with a
plentiful store of the coveted sweet, carefully packed away in its
six-sided cells of comb, greatlv to the jollification of the younger
children, who made much of It while it lasted.

The home of Joseph Doiifflas was one of the centers of social
life in the neighborhood. In those days there was less visiting
and more working. But the frugal board of Joseph Douglas
was often enlivened by the presence of neighbors and friends,
who always found a simple and hearty welcome there. Not an
unf requent visitor was Dr. Allen Campbell, a famous physician
in all eastern Connecticut in his day, but whose fame was not
confined to the medical profession, for he served at different
times with great acceptance as clergyman and legislator. He
was the eldest brother of Mrs. Douglas, and, with the exception
of the minister, no guest was received with such respect and
ceremony as he. Whenever his professional duties called him
into the neighborhood, he would manage to ride over and " take
tea with Molly." The saddle-bags were deposited by the kitchen
fire, the horse taken to the barn and fed by one of the boys, and
soon the worthy doctor, in the most immaculate of ruffled shirt
bosoms, seated at the head of the table, would be sipping his
fragrant tea, a quantity of which was always kept on hand for
stat^ occasions, while he dispensed the freshest bit of gossip he
had picked up in his visits, or the lat-est news from Hartford and
New Haven, where he spent considerable portions of the year as
state representative and afterward as senator. While the war of
1812-15 was in progress the doctor's visits were eagerlv expected,
as he was sure to have the latest news of the war. On some of
these occasions he was accompanied by his son Harvey, then a
medical student in New Haven, and about to take his degree at
Yale College, who often referred to them in after life with the most
pleasant recollections.
*'Ue had a sound education. For his times, his culture was
broad in extent and excellent in character. In his boyhood our
country knew very little of newspapers, magazines, libraries,
acadieniies and colleges; it knew chiefly country school-houses,
and thinking men and women. From the famed Connecticut
common school, and such books as were accessible, and the society
of educators and public men, he secured a mental training and a
measure of knowledge superior to that of most of his contempo-
raries. * * * His proficiency in what were then the higher
branches of mathematics qualified him to act largely as a practical
surveyor in the township; and many are the metes and bounds of
farms and highways and lots of land that now testify to his skill;
and he continued to thus serve his fellow townsmen until within
a few years of his death. * * * He was a true economist.
He was'educated in an economical family, and in economical times,
so that thoughfulness and prudence were ingrained in his life.
He accepted the golden rules of duty and thrift found in the
Bible, and in the writings of Dr. Franklin; text-books that are
beyond price to the wise, but distiisteful and unfashionable among
spendthrifts. He proved the Divine law *Hhe hand of the dili-

gent maketh rich." Solomon was his favorite teacher. To be
convinced of his wisdom and care, you had only to look on his
fields and meadows, his walls and buildings, his barns and stalls,
his stacks and cribs. And that he was felicitously seconded and
supported in his forethought and skill by his loving consort,, you
had only to look in and around his home." *
His wife Mary died May 3, 1837; and he married,
second, about 1842, Elizabeth, widow of Wait Reynolds,
of Voluntown. He died Aug. 8, 1847. His widow
married again soon after his death and removed to

STEPHEN^ DOUGLAS {WilUam\ James'), born in
Yoluntown, Comi., July 9, 1777; married April 12,
1798, Susannah, daughter of Income and Elizabeth
(Arnold) Potter, of Yoluntown. She was born in Rich-
mond, R. 1., Dec. 9, 1777. They settled in Yoluntown.
In 1802, Stephen made a journey to Wayne county, N.
Y., and took up land near his brother-in-law, Daniel
Douglas, who had located there in the fall of 1800. He
returned to Yoluntown, and in February, 1803, removed
his family in a covered emigrant wagon to their new
home in the wilderness. A small settlement gradually
sprang up around them, and was know among the fi'on-
tiersmen as Douglas Corners. It is now embraced within
the town of Walworth, and the whole county has become
thickly settled since then. The original farm, reclaimed
from the forest by Stephen Douglas, has increased very
much in value as the country has become thickly popu-
lated, and has been retained in the family until the pres-
ent time, being now ('77) occupied by Julian J. Finley,
a grandson of Stephen. Mr. Douglas died in Walworth
hi February, 1813. His widow subsequently married

Enoch Clark, and lived until Oct. 11, 1873, when she
died at the age of nearly 96 years. She retained all
her faculties up to her last moments, and'was as quick in
perception and as sound in judgment as she was in her
prime. In many respects she was a truly remarkable
woman, and the changes which she witnessed "from an
unnamed clearing in the wilderness, in 1803, to a popu-
lous town, with churches, academies, and all the refine-
ments of a cultivated, christian community, are as great,
perhaps, as occur in the brief span of years allotted to
human life. She had a number of children by her
second husband, beside the following by her first : —

1797, Mrs. Jane (Hall) Douglas, widow of his brother
Robert Douglas, and daughter of the Hon. George Hall,

Jan. 28, 1844, some 17 years after the death of her
husband. Mr. Douglas was a man of firm christian
character, whose every-day life presented a beautiful
example of the virtues he would inculcate in others.
In his family relations he was kind, genial and affection-
ate ; and the success and respectability of his children

DANIEP DOUGLAS (SamneP, James'), bom lu
Voluntown, Conn., Nov. 27, 1769; married, March 30,
1797, his cousin, Hannah^ Douglas [2. viii.J. In the fall
of 1800 he made a journey to Wayne county, New
York. Here, in what is now the town of Walworth, he
built a log cabin and made a clearing of eight acres. In
January, 1801, he returned to Voluntowni, disposed of
his property there, and in February, removed his wife
and two small children in a sleigh to their new home.
The road ended about half a mile from his clearing, and
he was obliged to move their effects the remainder of
the way on horseback and by hand through the woods.
The region which was then a wilderness is now a popu-
lous and delightful farming district. Daniel's cousin,
Stephen Douglas, the youngest brother of his wife, fol-
lowed with his family, and a small settlement sprang up,
which in honor of the first comers, was called Douglass
Corners. From this little settlement the thriving town
of Walworth has grown. Esquire Douglas was for many
years one of the most prominent men in the town, and
was repeatedly placed in positions of trust and responsi-
bility. He was chosen justice of the peace, and dis-
charged his duties to such general satisfaction that he
wjis successively elected for nearly twenty years. He
died very suddenly at Macedon on his way to court,
June 12, 1827. His widow removed in 1833 to the
home of one of her children in Michigan, where she died
Sept. 15, 1836. Their oldest two children were born in
Voluntown, the others in Walworth : —

484 DOUGLAS GENEALOGY.
Mrs. Douglas was a woman of rare qualities, — genial,
industrious and kind, and one who looked well to the
ways of her household. She died May 1, 1841, at the
early age of 36 years, leaving a family of eight children,
who experienced an irreparable loss when she was re-
moved from them. At the present time ('76) Mr. Dou-
glas is living upon his farm in Exeter, R. I., where, in
1822, in company with his brother Daniel, he built the
house he now occupies, and where the most of his life
since that time has been spent. He has been a man of
great energy, bringing up the children who were left
orphans, some of them in infancy, by the death of their
mother, and until within a few years taking an active
part in the management of the farm.
Since the above was written Mr. Douglas passed calmly
and trustfully away, just as he had always desired, with-
out great pain and without any formal parting. The
following obituary notice, from the accurate pen of his
nephew, Henry F. Douglas, was published in the Narrn-
ffanseft Weekly^ of Jan. 25th, 1877, and is a just estimate
of his life and character: —
ALLEN CAMPBELL DOUOLAS.
Died iu Exeter, R. I., Saturday, Jan. 13, 1877, Allex Camp-
hell DoudLAs, in tlie 80th year of his age.
Mr. Douglas was tlie son of Joseph and Mary (Campbell) Dou-
glas, and was born in Voluntown, Conn., March 5, 1797. He
was a descendant of the old Scotch Doughises, a branch of whom
emigrated to Ulster county, in the north of Ireland, to escape
persecution for their religious views. The family were staunch
old Scotch Presbyterians, and one of them distinguished himself
ius an officer in the dreadful siege of Londonderry, by the Irish
Catliolics, in 1089. A branch of the family afterward emigrated
to America with the Scotch-Irish who left tneir homes in Ireland,
a*5 their forefathers had left theirs in Scotland, to seek in a new
country freedom to worship God as their consciences dictated.
James Douglas, the immediate ancestor of the Voluntown Dou-
glases, landed, it is thought, in Stonington, Conn., in 1729, but
soon removed with his family to Voluntown. James was the
gi'eat-grandfatlier of Allen Campbell Douglas.
On Tiis mother's side Mr. Douglas wtis also descended from the
thrifty Scotch-Irish. His mother, Mary Campbell, was the daugh-
ter of Lieut. James Campbell, granddaughter of Dr. John Camp-

bell, and great-granddaughter of Kobert Campbell, who came
from Ulster county with his family in 1719, and was among the
very earliest settlers in Voluntown.
In the quiet and unostentatious life of a thrifty farmer there
is little to attract public notice. Mr. Douglas was always much
attached to his home. Left by the death of his young wife, in
1841, with the care of eight small children, he gave his wliole
attention to caring for them and training them up to lives of
usefulness. For more than fifty years he continued to reside on
tlie old place, much of the time with no other family than his
unmarried son and a housekeeper, preferring to remain where he
could each day look upon the old familiar fields and hills.
Mr. Douglas's circle of acquaintance was not large, considering
his years. lie had not an enemy in the world. The number of
his intimate friends was confined mostly to his relatives and
neighbors. But the influence of the life. of an eminently good
man is not lost, even if it does not extend to large numbers.
Mr. Douglas experienced a change of heart in early manhood,
and was baptized by the Rev. Gershom Palmer, for many years
pastor of the old Baptist church in Exeter. For more than two
generations he lived the life of a consistent, faithful christian;
m manhood setting an example for his children, and in declining
years sustained by his faith m Christ, and the anticipation of a
blessed immortality.
Mr. Doughvs married, Dec. 23, 1824, Catharine Fanning, daugh-
ter of Daniel Palmer Stanton and Catharine Fanning Roth, of
Preston, Conn. Her grandfather, Daniel Stanton, was a descend-
ant of Capt. Thomas Stanton, the noted Indian interpreter, who
came from London to Virginia in 1635, afterward removed to
Hartford, of which he was one of the original proprietors, and
finally settled at Stonington in 1658. Mrs. Douglas was the
mother of eight children, six of whom are now living. She died
May 1, 1841, at the age of 36 years.

DANIEL MACMAIN^ DOUGLAS (Joseph^, Wmiam^
James^)^ born in Voluntown, Conn., June 15, 1798 ; mar-
ried, Aug. 18, 1822, Mary Stanton, of Preston. In 1822,
in company with his brother Allen, he purchased a farm
in Exeter, R. I., and built upon it the house now ('78)
occupied by his nephew, Allen S. Douglas. He was an
active and industrious farmer. Orderly and methodical
in whatever he undertook, wisely taught in the school
of experience, yet quick to perceive any advantage in
new methods proposed, he wasted no material in trying
doubtful experiments in farming, and was never behind
his neighbors in adopting real improvements; so that
his farm was always a model of thrift and comfort. He
was cut off in the midst of usefulness by a fatal attack
of billious colic, almost before his family realized the
dangerous character of his sickness. The following
obituary notice, clipped from an old number of the
Norwich Courier^ is from the pen of his beloved friend
and cousin, the Hon. Harvey Campbell, M. D., who
was for many years a valued correspondent of that
paper: —
** Died, at his liome in p]xetcr, R. I., after a brief but very \mii-
ful illness, July 21, 1834, Daniel M. Doiolas, aged 36 years.

JAMES DOUGLAS AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 487
For some time previous to his death his mind seemed to be occu-
pied with a premonitory sentiment that his dissolution was near
at hand; and as the world passed from his view and the grave
opened before him, his faith in the Saviour whom he had pro-
fessed to follow was confirmed, and the light of eternity beamed
on his soul with a more exalted splendor. Thus bereaved of one
in the meridian of life, who was a dutiful and affectionate son, a
tender husband, a kind father, and a helping, counselling brother,
his afflicted family have the heartfelt sympathy of their friends
in this their hour of trial."
After the death of her husband, Mrs. Douglas re-
moved, with her six children, to Rockville, but she
survived him only four years, dying of typhus fever
Oct. 4, 1838, aged 40 years. She was the daughter of
Daniel Palmer Stanton and Catharine Fanning Roth,
and was born in Preston, Conn., Dec. 14, 1798. Her
grandfather, Daniel Stanton, wag a direct descendant of
Capt. Thomas Stanton, the famous Indian interpreter,
who came from London to Virginia in 1635, afterward
removed to Hartford, Conn., and finally settled in Ston-
ington in 1658, and became the ancestor of the large
family of Connecticut Stantons. She was possessed of a
most amiable disposition, combined with great personal
beauty, and her sweetness of spirit endeared her to all
who knew her. To her memory, and to that of her
most excellent husband, this book is dedicated. " She
lived a brave life and died worthy of all honor." Chil-

entered the ''Stone Factory '' in Sterling, and from that
time until 1856, with the exception of the time he passed
at school, he was engaged in the siime business. He
passed successively through all the grades of work up
to the highest position, thus becoming thoroughly ac-
quainted with the minutest details of the business, and
gaining much practical information, which he was en-
abled afterward, to turn to good account in the man-

agement of other mills. In 1831, he removed to
Plainfield, and in a short time was placed in charge of
the Union mill at that place. Here he remained six
years, giving unqualified satisfaction in the difficult posi-
tion which he occupied. In December, 1837, he made
an engagement with Comfort Tifiany to take charge
of his mills at Danielsonville (Brooklyn side), and re-
moved to that place. Mr. Tiffany's death, in 1847, in-
terrupted an arrangement mutually satisfactory. A
new Company, the Quinebaug Manufacturing Company,
was then formed, consisting of Warren Lippitt, his two
sons, Robert and Henry, lately Governor of Rhode
Island, Peleg A. Rhodes and Mr. Douglas. Under
the new arrangement, the company, being unwilling to
lose the benefit of Mr. Douglas's long experience, pre-
vailed upon him to take the entire charge of the mills,
in-doors and out, he receiving therefor a fixed salary, in
addition to his share of the profits as a holder of one-
eighth of the stock. Mr. Douglas continued these rela-
tions until the death of Warren Lippitt, in January,
1850, when he retired from the firm, and the manage-
ment of the mills passed into other hands. In the
spring of 1849, the company began the erection of the
large stone mill, now known as the Quinebaug milL
The building was nearly completed at the time of Mr.
Lippitt's death, but none of the machinery had been
placed in it. Mr. Douglas had full charge of the build-
ing operations and of the running of the small mill,
until he retired from the firm. He had now been iden-
tified with the nuinufacturing interests in Danielsonville
for over sixteen years. In 1853, he consented to take
charge of the mills in Rhodesville for a short time. On
the 1 5th of June, 1854, he married Miss Hannah Aldena
Whitman, daughter of Alden and Hannah Whitman, of
Thompson, where she was born Feb. 22, 1832. She
was a lady of refined and cultivated taste, and the union
proved a most happy one.
Mr. Douglas had now been engaged in active duties
for over forty years and began to think of a less labori-

ous life. After some two years spent in charge of the
mills at Rhodesville, he resigned the position and pur-
chased a farm in that part of the town of Thompson
since included in Putnam. Mrs. Douglas was, however,
much attached to Thompson village, and Mr. Douglas
embraced the opportunity of purchasing the fine estate
of Erastus Knight, which was then for sale, and the fol-
lowing year removed thither. The house, one of the
finest in the village, was built by Mr. Knight, about 1830,
and is delightfully located on the northern side of the
village green which it overlooks. Here, pleasantly oc-
cupied with the care of his estate, enjoying the society
of congenial friends, and surrounded by everything
which refined taste could wish, or ample means supply,
they passed seventeen delightful years. But the hand of
Death at last intruded even here. Mrs. Douglas, after a
few months of lingering illness with a disease which they
knew must in the end prove fatal, passed calmly away,
Dec. 25, 1874. To unusual personal, attractions she
united a most amiable disposition and a gentleness and
grace of manner which won a place in every heart. A
woman who looked well to her household, gentle and
dignified toward her servants, careful and loving to her
family, she yet found time for the performance of numer-
ous social and religious duties, and in all her relations of
mother, wife and friend, was found ever fiiithful. None
knew her but to love her.
Since the death of his wife, Mr. Douglas has continued
to reside in Thompson, his time being occupied in the
management of his estate and in the care and edu-
cation of his only son, Joel. A man of tireless energy
and unwearied industry since the years of childhood,
his practised eye sees much which remains to be done
where a less careful observer would detect nothing
wrong. His habit is always to do in the very best
manner whatever he does ; and his estate in Thompson
exhibits the perfection of system and good order.
Even at the present time of comparative leisure, he ac-
complishes more than many men who call themselves

In the spring of 1854, he went to Illinois, and in the fall of
that year located at Ionia, taking up land on the Cedar river.
At that time the nearest mill was seventy miles distant, and the
nearest market was McGregor, la., on the Mississippi, one hun-
dred and ten miles distant. He huilt a log house on the banks
of the Cedar, which for a long time was known as the Bachelor's
Hotel, serving as a stopping place for the travelers and frontiers-

men who happened to be overtaken bv niglit while on their way.
For a number of years the Bachelor s Hotel was never without
its guests every night. There might be procured, for a trifle, a
meal of fresh venison, just brought down on the prairie by the
landlord's rifle, and a comfortable niglit's repose, together with
snch rude comforts as his frontier home could afford. Mr. Dou-
glas worked his land and traded in stock with the settlers as the
county gradually became filled up. When he located there the
Sioux Indians were in the vicinity on the war-path, but he was
never disturbed by them.
He married, Oct. 15, 1857, Jane Elizabeth Donovan, daughter
of Joseph Donovan, a thriving farmer of Franklin county, Pa.,
where she was born Oct. 4, 1829. In the spring of 1864, Mr.
Douglas and wife removed to Seward county. Neb., and took up
a homestead on the Big Bhie river. The nearest neighbors were
some four or five miles distant, and there were three or four
tribes of Indians roaming about in the vicinity. He built a log
cabin, opened his farm, and commenced again in stock trading
with the settlers as tliey came in, as well as with the Indians.
In the fourteen years which have elapsed since Mr. Douglas set-
tled in Nebraska, the country has become comparatively thickly
settled, and the rude accommodations of the frontier have been
superseded by the improvements common in the older states.
Milford, the place of Mr. Douglas's residence, is now a thriving
town, within twenty miles of the capital of the state, and witliin
twelve miles of two otlier cities, the sites of all three of which
were trackless prairies when he settled there. He has continued
the business of stock-raising and trading, and by perseverence,
sagacitv and experience, accumulated a very handsome property,
some of which has been judiciously invested in real estate in Lin-
coln and elsewhere, and some of which his neighbors are anxious
to hire to carry on their business with. He is now one of the
oldest residents of the state of Nebraska, and, by his course of
uniform fairness and honorable dealing with his neighbors, has
won a place high in their esteem, as well as a reputation for the
strictest integrity. He has held a number of town offices, and
was for a time school commissioner. He has no childi*en.

JOSEPH ALLEN^ DOUGLAS {Daniel\ Joseph^ Wil

At the age of ten years he began in the spinning-room
of a cotton mill, and from that time until 1868, with the
exception of the time which he spent at winter schools,
where he received a good English education, he was
nearly all the time employed in cotton mills, rising
through the various grades of the work, until he was
placed in charge of the cotton mills of Dr. John E. Wee-
den, at Niantic. Having held this position several years,
he resigned it in 1868, on the death of his son Henry, and
assumed the management of his farm near the village,
where he has since resided. Having united with the
Baptist church in Voluntown, Conn., in 1843, he trans-
ferred his membership to the Niantic Baptist church, in
September, 1854. He was elected church clerk in 1859,
and again in 1865, and still continues to hold the position.
He has also been for many years an active Sunday-
school worker, having been connected with the Sunday-
school in Niantic since its organization, in 1848, first as
teacher and secretary, and for the hist ten years as
superintendent, during which time the school has en-
joyed great prosperity. He has taken much interest in

the public schools of his town, and has been trustee and
treasurer in hiS district for many years. He was one of
the organizers and for several years a director of the
Hopkinton bank. He was elected .a justice of the peace
in 1860, and commissioned by Governor Sprague, He
has also been several times appointed guardian and ad-
ministrator on a number of estates, and, in 1873, served
as one of the commissioners of the Wood river railroad.
In 1877, he was nominated as first representative fi:om
Westerly to the General Assembly, on the democratic
ticket, his opponent being the Hon. Nathan P. Dixon,
formerly member of Congress from Rhode Island. Mr.
Douglas consented that his name should be used, not
with the expectation that his ticket would be elected,
for Westerly had always been overwhelmingly republi-
can. Mr. Dixon was elected, though the democratic
ticket received a larger vote than it had done in the
town for many years. Mr. Douglas married, June 3,

When Daniel was in his tenth year, his father died after a few-
days' illness, leaving his estate in an unsettled condition. At tlie
end of two years his mother, finding it imi)ossible to manage the
farm while the children were so small, rented it and removed to

ness, with typhus fever. The family being thus broken up

Daniel spent a part of the time till he was twenty in the employ
of William Arnold, in the village of Dorrville •(now Niantic) in
the town of Westerly, where he attended school during the win-
ter months. While in tlie employ of Mr. Arnold he became
acquainted witli Miss Catharine Perry Champlin, of Perry ville,
but then living in Dorrville, whom he married, March 23, 1845.
She was the «daugliter of Elijah and Susannah (Carpenter)
Champlin, and was born in South Kingstown, Sept. 27, 1825.
She was the twelfth of a family of fourteen children, all but one
of whom, the youngest, lived to mature age.
Soon after his marriage Mr. Douglas removed to the village of
Westerly, where in 1849 he opened a livery stable on Main street,
opposite the old stone mill. In 1853 he formed a copartnershiii
with his brother Henry, under the firm name of D. S. & H. F.
Douglas, for the purpose of conveying the United States mail be-
tween W^esterly and Newport, and carrying on the livery business.
They secured the mail contract from the (jovernment, and for
two years continued to carry the mails. At the end of this time,
the partnership was dissolved by mutual consent, Daniel contin-
uing the mail and Henry taking charge of the stable. At the
end of the four years for which the contract had been awarded, a
new contract was made with different parties, and Mr. Douglas
opened a grocerv store on Main street near his old place of busi-
ness. In 1859 ho purchsod the steam grist-mill on Canal street,
near its junction with High, and fitted it up as a livery stiible.
In 18G1 he was awarded the Government contract for conveying
the mails between Westerly and Hopkinton. Having carried
them the full term of four years, he was again awarded the same
contract in 1805. In 1869, in company with Henr\' L. Miner,
of Westerly, he purchased a part of the Hammond estate on
High street. The old buildings were moved to the rear of the
lot and the present Douglas & Miner's block erected on the street.
This block is three stories high in addition to the basement, and
contains three stores and a number of offices, beside a large hall
in the uj)j)er story.
By habits of industry and thrift he has accumulated a hand-
some j)roperty, and for the last few years has not devoted himself
so closely to business, relinquishing it in part to his son Amos.
During the thirty years he has been in business in Westerly he
has a(H[uired a well merited reputation for fairness and hononible
dealing, and is a well known and respected citizen of the town.
Both he and his wife are members of the First Baptist church in
Wosterlv. In 18T4 a ])ortion of the large est^ite of the late Hon.
Kowse liabcock, lying in the heart of the thriving village of
Westerly, was laid out in building lots, avenues were opened,
and the property thrown into market. Mr. Douglas at once
purchased two of the largest and most desirable lots in the estate,
situated at the junction of High street with the newly opened

home. He intends to make this his permanent residence. He

HENRY FRANCIS^ DOUGLAS (Darnel^ Joseph^
William^ Jame^\ born in Exeter, R. L, April 29, 1826.
When he was only eight years old his father died after a brief
illness, and the whole care of six small children devolved upon
his mother and his eldest brother. The next year of his boyhood
was passed in the family of his grandfather, Joseph Douglas, a
man of sterling qualities. Three years later, by the death of his
mother, caused by added trials and a constitution naturally deli-
cate, the doubly orphaned children became scattered into different
families. Henry lived for about three years in the family of
Oliver D. Wells, in Westerly, R. L, and attended school at" the
old academy on Union hill, since widely known as the Westerlv
Institute. Having obtained the foundation of a good English
education, in 1845, he began peddling dry-goods, a business \\[\\q\\
he followed for five years. In 1850, having married, he settled
in Baltic, Conn., and opened a store. In 1851 he determined to
go to California, which was then attracting great numbers of
immigrants, on account of tlie discovery of gold in that state
two years previous. At that date, although a comparatively
short time ago, the journey was one of w^eks and i sometimes
months, instead of days, and must be accomplished in emigrant
trains over the prairies, or, bv water, around Cape Horn or across
the Isthmus of Panama. Ite chose the latter route, and, em-
barking at New York on the steamer Georgia, June 11, 1851,
after a voyage of thirty-nine days, stopping on the way at Ha-
vana, Cuba, he arrived at San Francisco, lie r *

throng which was pouring into California from all parts of the
world, and at once entered npon work. He remained in Cali-
fornia two yeai-s, working hard, and thoroughly acquainting
himself with the theory and practice of gold mining. At the
end of this time, feeling anxious to be at home once more, and
to obtain relief from the care and anxiety inseparable from an
active life among such conflicting elements, he sailed from San
Francisco, by the Siime route, Feb. 25, 1853, and after a some-
what shorter voyage than the first, reached New York on the
25th of March.
Mr. Douglas has been by no means idle since his return from
California. For the greater part of the last twenty years he has
been in the active service of the Government as contnictor for
mails in Rhode Island and Connecticut, much of the time com-
bining with this business a livery st^ible. In 1853, in com-
pany with his brother Daniel, he opened a livery stable on Main
street, Westerly, R. I., having secured the contract for carrying
the United States mails between Westerly and Newport. At the
end of two years the business was divided, Daniel continuing
the mail and Henry taking charge of the stable. In 1861 he
was awarded the contract for carrying the mails between Westerly
and Norwich, Conn., and at the next term, in 1865, between
Westerly and Newport, and also between Norwich and Colches-
ter, Conn. In 18G9, on the completion of the Dixon house, then
the largest hotel in New England outside of Boston, at the soli-
citation of the j)roprietors, Messrs. Babcock and Moss, there
being at that time no stable in town suitable for running in con-
nection with the hotel, he erected in Cog^swell street the largest
stable in the village and opened a strictly first class est^iblishmeut.
At this time the first barouche for public use was brought into
town. Previously there had been no similar public carriage in
the village, and but one or two private ones; and the opening of
this stable marked a great improvement in the livery business in
Westerly. In 1860-7, he built for himself a residence in one of
the most desirable locations in the village. In December, 1872,
he disposed of his livery business to Avery Iloxie, the present
proprietor of the Dixon house sUible, and in July, 1873, again
received the contract for carrying the mails between Westerly
and Newport. During the summer of 1875, he again visited the
West, this time going by a northern route, by way of the suspen-
sion bridge and Canada, and returning thVough the southern
states and Washing^ton. In March, 1876, he removed to the city
of Providence, to have a care over his son, who had entered
Brown University the previous fall. He has since resided in
Providence.
Some jears ago Mr. Douglas began a modest collection of books
illustrating New England history, mostly biographies, genealogies
and books of a kindl*ed nature, which has been gradually en-

larged by the addition from time to time of works of real worth,
until the collection has become valuable, though not so much
from the number of vohimes it embraces, as for the quality of its
contents. It includes a considerable number of local histories,
of which but small editions were published at the time of issu-
ing, and which are now out of print and are consequently much
enhanced in value. In the department of genealogy of New
England families it is unusually full; and probably very few pri-
vate libraries in New England can excel it in this particular
branch of history. This collection of books, still very unpre-
tending in numbers, is always accessible for those who may wish
to consult it, the owner being pleased to assist those who are
searching for light themselves or seeking to illumine any point
which rests in obscurity. With a natural taste for historical
study, he has improved such opportunities as lie possessed for
local investigation. He was eleqted a member of the Worcester
(Mass.) Society of Antiquity June 5, 1877, and of the New Eng-
land Historic, Genealogical Society, of Boston, March 6, 1878.
He has contributed several historical papers of value to the Neio
England Historical and Genealogical Register (quarterly), one of
which, on ** Robert Campbell ana his Descendants," was reprinted
from the Register for July, 1878, for private distribution. He is
also an occasional contributor to other periodicals. A quick in-
sight and sound judgment, by which he intuitively selects the
most advantageous course, have enabled him to turn to good ac-
count circumstances in themselves adverse. His intercourse with
many different classes of society and the various kinds of business
to which he has turned his attention have afforded him unusual
advantages for the study of human nature in its many phases.
He married Sept. 10, 1849, Lydia Lillibridge, oi Griswold,
Conn. She was tlie daughter of Clark and Phebe (Bates) Lilli-
bridge, and was born in Exeter, E. L, March 22, 1828. Through
her grandfather, Esq^uire Jonathan Lillibridge, and her great-
frandfather, Benjamm, she was descended from Eobert Lilli-
ridge who settled in Newport in 1701. Benjamin Lillibridge
married, in 1743, Amy Sherman, of Exeter, and through her
Mrs. Douglas is descended from the Hon. Philip Sherman, who
came from Dedham, England, and was the first Secretary of
State of Ehode Island, under Gov. William Coddington, in
1639.* They have one child:—

regular studies obliged him to relinquish it, in 1874.
During a great part of the time he was in the Westerly

newspapers. In May, 1873, he became connected, as
regular correspondent, with the Norwich Daily Adver

II.— Capt. John J. Douglas (10th Tenn. Inf. vols.) and aid-de-camp is
hereby relieved from duty on the staff of the general commanding, by
reason of the expiration of his term of service.
The general commanding cannot part^with Capt. Douglas without ac-
knowledging the valuable and efficient services he has rendered to his
country and government in the capacity both of an enlisted man and as a
staff officer.
He has always proven himself to be energetic and faithful in the dis-
charge of his official duties, and upon the battle field he has at all times
displayed signal coolness and courage.
The general commanding regrets that the injury received by Capt. Dou-
glas while making a charge upon the enemy at Kmgsport, Tenn., on Dec.
14, 1864, should have resulted in a permanent disability, and can only
commend him to the protection of that government he has so devotedly
.served.

[Note. — The work of printing this book was begun early iii
May, 1878, and although i>ushed forward as vigorously as })os-
sible, has occui)ied more than ten months in aceomi)Iishing.
During tliis time many additions liave been received, the num*
important of which have been insert<^'d above as too valuable to be
lost. No effort has been s])ared to insure accuracy in })riuting the
records. In many instances i)roofs have been sent to relatives for
verification, though this occasioned continual delays. It is grati-
fying that tlie iiumber of errors which a careful review of the
whole work reveals is so small. It is believed that they are nearly
all included in the above list. It is hoped that all persons whli
take an interest in the work will, ])en in hand, proceed to correct
them before giving it a further examination. The author has
greatly enjoyed his work, severe and prolonged though it hvu^
been. He is now sincerely thankful that it has at List been
brought to a successful close this fourth day of March, 1879.]
