General Notes: Husband - William Douthett


He was a Covenanter in religious faith, was of French Huguenot stock, the original form of the name having been dé Thou. One member of the family was ambassador to the Spanish court, and was put to death for his religious tendencies. Members of the family emigrated from France to Wales and later to Scotland, whence William Douthett came to America after his marriage, living for a time in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Having accumulated five hundred dollars, and acquired a horse, wagon and saddle, he moved to Mercer county, near the headwaters of the Shenango River, and bought a tract of six hundred acres where he farmed during the remainder of his life.
