  8. 16.  Margaret Douglas Descendancy chart to this point (8.Robert3, 5.John2, 1.Elizabeth1) was born in 1694; died in 1784.

    Notes:

    Variously described as the '5th daughter' and the 'only daughter'.

    As a widow and single mother, Margaret Douglas lived near her family of
    established landowning farmers and she had the emotional and advisory
    support of a circle of powerful local dignitaries, whom her prudent
    husband had arranged to act as his unborn son's guardians. Their backgrounds indicate the patronage available to baby Adam if he survived
    (child mortality at the time was horrendous).
    His father, in addition to the provision he made for his 13-year-old son and heir, Hugh Smith, also made provision for 'any child or children of my present marriage'.
    Among his guardians were James Oswald, former Kirkcaldy MP in both the Scottish and the UK parliaments, and five members of his parents'
    families.

    By all accounts Margaret Smith was an overly indulgent and loving
    mother of her sickly son. And she forged deep bonds with
    him that lasted for 61 of his 67 years until she died in his house in
    Edinburgh in 1784.

    Margaret married Adam Smith in 1702. Adam was born before 1703; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Lieut Col 58th Regt of Foot
    res Portobello, Scotland
    Died before 1741

    Died:
    He was apparently dead before his daughter, Anna Maria's wedding, so the date that I have of 17 Aug 1834 would appear to be wrong.

    Family/Spouse: Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Children:
    1. 24. Anna Cecilia Douglas  Descendancy chart to this point died after 17 Aug 1834.

  10. 18.  John (of Strathendry) Douglas Descendancy chart to this point (8.Robert3, 5.John2, 1.Elizabeth1) was born before 1719; and died.
