- The following information comes from The Naughtons in Ireland By Bill Naughton
No further information has been found on Thomas Naghten or his father, Edward, or other ancestors that enable us to trace them back directly to Naghtens in Ireland. His wife, Maria, had a younger sister, Louisa, who was born at Moor-Park and who, on October 23, 1856, married Sir Robert Percy Douglas, a Baronet who was born to Sir Howard Douglas and Anne Dundas on August 29, 1805, in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. During his career, Sir Robert served as a General in the British Army and as Lieutenant-Governor of the Cape of Good Hope. His father, Sir Howard Douglas, rose to the rank of Major General in the British Artillery, served as Lieutenant-Governor and commander in chief of New Brunswick, Canada, from 1823 to 1831 and as a Member of Parliament for Liverpool from 1842 to 1847, and received a knighthood bestowed in 1821. Linda Naghten of South Bretton, Peterborough, provided most of the above information.
