General Notes: Husband - George J. Douglass


The origin of the name Douglass, which is one of the most famous in the annals of Scotland, has never been definitely determined, and the ancient legendary border tales relative to the subject, formerly sung by the bards, are now considered an unsatisfactory solution of the problem. Its great antiquity, however, is unquestionable, and history records many gallant and chivalrous deeds performed by bearers of this name, which for centuries was one of the most prominent in the Scottish nobility.

He was for many years a miller in the area of New Brighton, Beaver County, Pennsylvania.
