    Extract from The Original Scots Colonists of Early America: Supplement, 1607-1707:

    DOUGLAS, WILLIAM, Bridge of Ken, a Covenanter imprisoned in Dumfries Tolbooth, Burntisland Tolbooth 20.5.1685, Dunottar Castle, and Leith Tolbooth, banished to the American Plantations 18.8.1685, transported from Leith to East New ... (East New Jersey in "Henry and Francis".)

     

    This may be the same William Douglas, banished 17th August, said to have reached Perth Amboy.

     

    Charles Douglas, of Dumfries, was transported on the same ship.
