    Notes for KNIGHT ROBERT DOUGLAS:
    Sir Archabald Douglas the first son and heir of Alaxander Douglas became the 9th Larid of Mains. His wife was Isobel of Blyswood, married 22 July 1633. He died 1 July 1647 leaving his entire estate to his wife. Due to heavy debts, the landed estate of Mains was deeded over to John Douglas, a relative. At this time Mains stayed in the Douglas family but passed to another Douglas line.

    Sir Robert obtained Blackerston by marriage. He purchased Blyswood. It should be noted that Col. John Douglas's plantation in Maryland was named Blythswood (Blythswood) the name of the Manor in Scotland.

    Sir Robert, as did most Scots, suffered greatly from the ravages of Oliver Cromwell. This was the primary cause of his financial problems along with a default , of the city of Glasgow, on money owed to him.
