Dear Researchers of Greenup County, Kentucky, Especially Barb Proffitt, Barb Proffitt recently posted a research interest in [among others] William DOUGLAS and his wife Hannah. I am very interested in William DOUGLAS, all of them, for there seem to have been at least three. One William DOUGLAS was in Mason County in 1807, near the Lewis County line on Cabin Creek. In 1807 this William DOUGLAS served as Bondsman for the marriage of his daughter Elizabeth to Alexander PIPER/PEPER. This William DOUGLAS was enumerated in the 1820 and 1830 Censuses of Greenup County, Kentucky, if indeed he were a match with the Greenup County DOUGLAS. A second William DOUGLAS was William DOUGLAS, Junior, the son of the first-mentioned William DOUGLAS. This William DOUGLAS married Isabella COOPER, 13 Nov 1830, in Greenup County, Kentucky. He may be the same William DOUGLAS who was enumerated in the 1840 Census of Adams County, Ohio. The William DOUGLAS that Barb Proffitt mentioned had a wife Hannah. QUERY: What was Hannah's maiden name, and when did she marry "her" William DOUGLAS? Please respond; I would like to share information on this issue. BACKGROUND: My fourth-great grandmother Rebecca DOUGLAS[S] married Squire BARNEY, 22 Jan 1822, in Greenup County, Kentucky. Their daughter Martha Ann BARNEY married William COOPER, 6 May 1846, in Greenup County. The fact that Rebecca DOUGLAS had a COOPER marry into her family in 1846 is what prompted my research into the earlier event of William DOUGLAS marrying Isabella COOPER in 1830. It is the recurrence of the DOUGLAS/COOPER pairing that drives my interest in William DOUGLAS. Randal W. Cooper <rwcooper@kellnet.com> Lorain, Ohio
