Vee, Thanks so very much for the Bio. I had not seen this one. This is great. I would like to pass on that I am also researching Eliza Douglass' siblings who could have been married before the family left for Michigan about 1835. John B. Douglass b. 10/20/1797 who married a Huldah Newman possibly in Wilson/Newfane. Children are still unknown. I was unable to determine if John was married on the 1830 census. Mary M. Douglass b. 2/28/1808 who married a Nathan Towne possibly as early as 1825. Children known, Wellington b. abt 1828 and Edgar b. abt 1835, both born in NY per the 1850 census records. The entire family except Eliza and Alexander go on to Washtenaw County, Michigan and then on to McHenry County, Illinois by 1842. From Illinois 3 sisters (Jane, Ellen & Ruth) and their families move on to the gold fields of California by 1853. There were 9 of 12 siblings - John, Eliza, Jane, Mary, Ellen, Emily, Ruth, Elvira, Edwin who live on to adulthood. It was just in the last 2 years that I found Eliza. I descend from Edwin. Any information on this family is very much appreciated. I would like someday to find Alexander's grave and his birthplace in Scotland. Rosemary Delavan, WI
