Notes |
- William Douglas married Grizzell M'Keand, who probably belonged to a family of that name who for long were tenants in 'Balsalloch', 'Pilwhilly' and 'Aikerside.' William Douglas and Grizze M'Keand had seven children. The eldest, John, continued the family tenacy in 'Balsalloch' and was the father of Sir William. The second son, James Douglas in 'Kilsture', whose testament was recorded in 1762, left a widow, Mary Martin, who survived him till about 1791, when her testament was recorded =: two sons --William Douglas in Petersburgh, U.S.A., and James Douglas in Norfolk Virginia....Much of the evidence for this pedigree is derived from a letter, dated 6th March, 1831, from Mrs. Susan B. Terrell to Harriet Douglas, third daughter of George Douglas of New York, the brother of Sir William Douglas."
