I am researching the Douglas (Douglass) family. They moved to Clinton County from Sherrington, Napierville, Canada in the mid-1860s. I am descended from one of the children, Edward Robert Douglas born 1864 in Mooer's Forks. I would appreciate any info about the families of his parents. I am unsure of the maiden name of Edward's mother, but his marriage certificate listed her as Mary McDowell.
What I know:
Robert Douglas b. Scotland abt 1825, died between 1880 and 1892, probably in Clinton Cty.
His wife Mary (McDowell??) b. Canada about 1825, died between 1905 and 1910, probably in Clinton Cty.
Their children:
George, b. 1846 Canada (unknown if he moved with the family)
Mary Agnes, b. 1847 Canada (unknown if she moved with the family)
Margaret, b. 1849, Canada (unknown if she moved with the family)
Joseph, b. 1851 Canada, d. about 1857, Canada
William, b. 1852, Canada; moved with the family to Mooer's Forks about 1864. Possibly William H Douglas d. 1921, buried in St. Anne's cemetery, Mooer's Forks.
Josephine, b. 1856 Canada; moved with the family to Mooer's Forks about 1864; m. Patrick McGovern 1880 in Mooer's, child Robert McGovern b. 1884 in Mooer's.
Robert, b. 1857 in Canada, d. about 1859 in Canada
Albert, b. 1859 in Canada, moved with the family to Mooer's Forks about 1864. Possibly Albert Douglas m. Mary (?) children William, Arthur, Benjamin, Nathaniel and Earl, d. 1929, Black Brook.
Edward Robert Douglas b. 1864, Mooer's Forks, m. Elizabeth 'Libbie' Hilliker 1887 in Swanton, VT; d. 1941 Swanton VT.
Nancy Douglas, b. 1865 Mooer's Forks, d. 1878, buried St. Anne's Cemetery in Mooer's Forks.
