He came to Philadelphia in 1842, where he engaged in business, subsequently removing to New York and becoming a partner in the banking firm of James K. Soutter & Sons. The first authentic reference to Douglas was his marriage at Fanwood, New Jersey, November 14, 1850, to Fanny, eldest daughter of James Monroe, member 1834, nephew of President James Monroe, and Elizabeth Mary Douglas, daughter of George Douglas, member 1784. In 1861 we find him as Secretary of the Great Western Insurance Company, formerly the United States Lloyds. In 1866 he became a member of the Chamber of Commerce. About 1880 he retired from business living thereafter principally at his
country residence in Herkimer County, New York. He frequently spent the winter in Europe and while returning on the Kaiser Wilhelm II he died at sea, November 25, 1893.

Notes:

Of New York
The Douglas brothers were industrious Scot descents who arrived in New York during the 1760's destined to become wealthy. The Douglas fortune was mainly acquired through various businesses in New York and London, and by farming in Scotland. Of the four, two brothers returned to Scotland and acquired large tracts of land in Galloway. William Douglas built Gelston Castle and his brother James founded the town of Castle Douglas (sic). George Douglas was the only brother to permanently settle in America and eventually married Margaret Corne.

George + Margaret (Peggy) Corne. Margaret (daughter of Capt Peter Corne and Elizabeth Henderson) was born in 1767; died on 31 Dec 1829 in Liverpool; was buried in Jan 1830 in Douglas Mausoleum, Kelton, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Some sources show her name as Corrie

Margaret Corne was the daughter of Captain Peter Corne and a granddaughter of Dr. James Henderson. The royal grant was passed down to Margaret who was the first of Dr. Henderson's heirs to take an interest in the lands up in the Mohawk Valley. With her husband George Douglas, she had some land cleared and surveyed, then had a twenty-four room summer Cottage built in 1787.
Margaret and George Douglas had five children: Margaret (1787), Harriett (1790), George (1793), William (1795), and Elizabeth Mary (1799). George died of yellow fever at his wife's home at King's Ferry on the Hudson River.
