Hi Folks, I am trying to make a connection between my 3Ggrandfather, John DOUGLASS (b abt 1809, probably Ayrshire, m Margaret LOWRIE 1839, to Canada abt 1850) and possible siblings in Wigtownshire. I believe his parents were John DOUGLASS (b 1767 Ayrshire, d 1839 Colmonell, Ayrshire) and Jannet MCMICHAEL (b 1782 New Cumnock, d 1858 Colmonell, Ayrshire). Siblings with Wigtownshire connections would have been: Jane DOUGLAS b 1818 Ayr., m Peter MCMILLAN, d 1901 Kirkholm. Children were Peter (1851), John (1852), Robert (1854), Janet (1855), David (1856), Elizabeth (1860), and Jane (1862). William DOUGLAS b 1820 Dalrymple, Ayr., m 1849 Elizabeth MCWHIRTER, d 1888 Pinminnock Farm, Portpatrick. Children were John (1850-1853), Grace (1851-1853), Jannet (1853), William (1855-1934), Elizabeth (1857), Margaret (1859), Jane (1861-1863), Jane (1863). Robert DOUGLAS b 1811 Dalrymple, Ayr., m 1836 Elizabeth ALEXANDER, d 1876 Rosemount Farm, Maxwellton, Kirkcudbright. Children were John (1838-1842), Elizabeth Annie (1846-1923), and Janet (1863-1910). Elizabeth Annie DOUGLAS married Robert BARBOUR in 1864. She died in Troqueer. Their children, all born in Troqeer, were Robert (1865), Douglas (1866), Elizabeth (1867), James (1869), William (1872-1875), and Hastings (1880). Thus far, I have no proof that my John DOUGLASS was part of this family, but names he gave to his children support this connection. Can anyone help me build a stronger bridge? Thanks! Larry in the US
