"WIGTON, Cumberland
"The parish of Wigton is situated 11 miles south west of Carlisle onthe road to Maryport. Wigton was in existence before the NormanConquest and in 1262 received its first market charter. Wigton is amarket town with mainly Georgian design buildings made of redsandstone. Originally a wooden market cross stood in the centre of thetown and it was from here that a bell was rung every market day toannounce the commencement of trading....etc....A visit to Wigton isnot complete without a visit to the parish church dedicated to St Marythe Virgin. In AD 1100 the first church at Wigton was built andendowed by Odard de Logis who was Sheriff of Carlisle. During theearly part of the 14th Century the Scots raided into Cumberland and asa consequence the church was greatly damaged. The present church wasre-built in the late 1700s. Since that time general refurbishment ofthe church has taken place at intervals."http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/CUL/Wigton/index.html

"JEREMIAH DOUGLASS I, OF SCOTLAND. (LEGEND SAYS HE WAS MURDERED THE NIGHT BEFORE HE WAS TO HAVE INHERITED HIS ESTATE IN SCOTLAND).MARRIED, ANNA ASBRIDGE. ONLY ISSUE KNOWN: JEREMIAH DOUGLASS II."[Transcribed by, SLJuhl, from the information supplied by JoyceLorraine Clore Elkins]
An Excellent Internet Resource Site For Records of the Early Douglass Members In England: http://www.cumberlandroots.co.uk/
NOTE: The Black Douglass owned land in one English County, and inseven Scottish Counties--Northumberland, Berwick, Edinburgh, Fife,Lanark, Ayr, Dumfries and Cumberland Wigton Parish. Wigton is whereJeremiah's/Willoughby's wife Anna Asbridge and her family is from. Ibelieve it would be safe to assume that Jeremiah Douglass I was alsofrom this area as well then. Also, he must not have died until afterhis children were born of course, and the last known birth dateavailable for his children is c.1767 A.D.

This does tie the two families together.
