Notes:

William Robert Keith Douglas (1783 - 5 December 1859 ) was a British politician and landowner. He was the fourth son of Sir James Douglas, 4th Baronet of Kelhead and younger brother of both Charles Douglas, 6th Marquess of Queensberry and John Douglas, 7th Marquess of Queensberry .
He represented the Dumfries Burghs constituency between 1812 and 1832 and served, on a number of occasions, as one of the Lord Commissioners of the Admiralty . He owned sugar plantation estates in Tobago which had formerly belonged to his father-in-law, Walter Irvine.
After William Douglas's eldest brother succeeded to the Marquessate of Queensberry , he was granted a patent of precedence which gave him the rank and style of a Marquess's younger son (Lord William Douglas).
Lord William is buried at Dunino, Fife , a village close to his family seat at Grangemuir , near Pittenweem .

William married Elizabeth Irvine on 24 Nov 1824. Elizabeth (daughter of Walter Irvine) died on 25 Apr 1864. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Educated Glasgow University 1745-47; succeeded uncle Charles Douglas in Breconwhat Estate, Dumfries 13 Dec. 1770; and fa. 13 Nov 1778. Lt. Scots Brigade in Holland 1747-58; cornet a Drag. 1759-64.
When there was no money left for William and his brothers' education, the family tutor, James Hogg, took his four pupils to Glasgow, supported them out of his own 'little patrimony' and sent the two eldest to university. This he continued when their father was in the Tower of London.
In June 1747, William obtained a commission in the regiment raised by Lord Drumlanrig and then, afterwards, served in the Scots Brigade; in about 1758, he received a commission in the 2nd Dragoons. At the end of the war, William apparently retired from the army and became a member of the Duke of Queensberry's household.He went into Parliament in 1768. The Duke of Queensberry who died shortly before William's father, had long treated William as his eventual heir to the Marquessate of Queensberry, failing male issue by his immediate successor, Lord March.
Sir William's uncle, Sir Alexander Dick, recorded in his Memoranda:'The Duke, shortly before his death, having a warm attachment to my nephew, Sir William, whom he sincerely loved from his proper behaviour to him while in Parliament, and considering that he had (children).... to provide for, he left him 16,000 pounds in money on their behalf....On the worthy Dukes's death...this new unkindly and ungenerous Duke refused to pay the money...My nephew seeks my approbation for suing the Duke in the court of session.'At the general election of 1780, the Duke refused to return him to Parliament. William's action before the court of session for 20,000 pounds (16,000 pounds plus interest) was successful; on 30 April, 1783, Queensberry's appeal was dismissed by the Lords. Sir William was so overjoyed by the news that he had an apoplectic fit while playing with his children, and died on 16 May 1783.

Son of Sir John Douglas, 3rd of Kelhead (and son of Boswell's mother's half-sister Helen Erskine) and Christian Cunninghame (1710-1741). Married Grace Johnstone (d. 1836) in 1772. A Captain in 1762. His sons Charles and John later became 6th and 7th Marquesses of Queensberry, respectively.
He was also a sometime Member of Parliament.Life with James Boswell: Boswell possibly was in William Douglas' company on October 6, 1762, when he visited Douglas' family at Kelhead. Boswell mentions a Mr. Douglas, son to Sir John, an officer in the Greys, an amiable young fellow whom I hope to see in the circumstances which he deserves. However, Sir John did have two other surviving sons, at least one of whom was in the army. Also, I rather doubt if Boswell would refer to a 32 year old as a young fellow.JB also dined with Douglas and Captain Maxwell on 20/12-62.

William married Grace (of Lockerbie) Johnston on 21 May 1772 in Midlothian, Scotland. Grace (daughter of William (of Lockerbie) Johnston and Mary Or Janet Henderson, daughter of William (of Lockerbie) Johnston) was born about 1746; was christened on 1 Dec 1746 in Dryfesdale, Dumfriesshire, Scotland; died on 25 Mar 1826 in Glen Stuart, Scotland.

Notes:

Entry in IGI for Grissel Johnstone is the only likely one for a Grace Johnstone born to William Johnstone in the right period. No mother is given. Christening date is given as 1 December 1746. This has been verified by Imchad Research. Baptismal entry in OPR states ''Dec. 1st (1746) William Johnstone, Younger of Lockerbie, had a child born and baptised by the name of Grissel'.'Grissel' was almost always changed to 'Grace' by the late 1700s.29However, according to her death notice (30 March 1836), Grace was born circa 1843. She must have been christened at the age of three. 'Deaths: On Friday, the 25 inst., at Glen Stuart, Lady Douglas Johnstone (sic) of Lockerby, relict of the late Sir William Douglas of Kinmount, Bart., in her 93rd year'28 See Internet site for 'Lockerbie Manor' now a hotel said to have been the home of 'Dame Grace Douglas' and her husband, Sir William, but it was built in the early 1800's after he died.See also the Post Office Annual Directory for entries in 1827, 1828 and 1829 for Lady Grace Douglas, Heriot Row, No. 24, Edinburgh; also in Pigot's Directory for 1825-26. This may or may not be the same Lady Grace.30Lockerbie 'derives both its origins and its name from an ancient castle situated on a hill between two lakes, and which was the baronial residence of the family of Johnstone of Lochwood, ancestors of the present Marquess of Queensberry. The small hamlet that arose round the castle gradually increased under the liberal patronage of its proprietors, who granted lands for buildings upon long and favourable leases........Fairs for lambs and wool, which are largely resorted to by persons from many miles' distance are held at Lammas and Michaelmas............and so much has the business of late years increased, that the whole of that hill, the superiority of which was purchased from the corporation of Glasgow by Lady Douglas, of Lockerbie House, is now appropriated for that purpose.'31Notice in the Dumfries Weekly Journal of 10 August, 1802 says 'Lady Douglas of Kellhead intends to preserve the GAME on her estate of Lockerbie and all persons who shall shoot or hunt thereon without her written authority, shall be prosecuted in terms of the laws of the country.'32Grace was served heir to her father on 22 May 1783-recorded on 19 June 1783 (monthly no. 6. Referred to as Douglas-Grace, Dame (or Johnston).33Ian McClumpha of Imchad research found a book by Thomas Henderson entitled Lockerbie: A Narrative of Village Life in Days Gone By' published in 1937. It is dedicated 'To the memory of the family of Johnstone-Douglas of Lockerbie. Who, during successive generations, by their generosity and care for the welfare of others, did so much to alleviate the circumstances and brighten the lives of many who dwelt upon thier estates'. The book is 242 pages long and is a series of recollections of an old resident, brought out by the author, a Lockerbie solicitor. Grace and her sister, Susan, are both mentioned.
