• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Douglas,_11th_Earl_of_Angus

William Douglas, 1st Marquis of Douglas and 11th Earl of Angus (1589-1660) was the eldest son of William Douglas, 10th Earl of Angus and Countess Elizabeth Oliphant, eldest daughter of Laurence Oliphant, 4th Lord Oliphant.[1] His younger brothers were James Douglas, 1st Lord Mordington and Lord Francis Douglas.[2] His sons by his first wife were Archibald Douglas, Earl of Angus, who was created Earl of Ormond, and Lord James Douglas. His second wife bore him two more sons, William, created Earl of Selkirk and later Duke of Hamilton for life, and George, created Earl of Dumbarton. The 1st Marquess of Douglas was succeeded in his titles by his grandson James, son of Archibald.

“ ... William, eleventh earl of Angus and first marquis of Douglas, like his father, was a Roman Catholic, and a faithful adherent of the king during the civil wars. He maintained to its fullest extent the old princely hospitality and grandeur of the family at Douglas castle, where he chiefly resided. The king constituted him his lieutenant on the borders, and created him Marquis of Douglas, 17th June 1638. He joined the Marquis of Montrose after his victory at Kilsyth in August 1645, escaped from the rout at the battle of Philiphaugh, 13th September of that year, and soon after made terms with the ruling powers. He was fined one thousand pounds sterling by Cromwell’s act of grace and pardon. He died 19th February 1660. He was twice married; first to the Hon. Margaret Hamilton, only daughter of Claud Lord Paisley, sister of James, first earl of Abercorn, and secondly to Lady Mary Gordon, third daughter of George Gordon, 1st Marquis of Huntly.[3] ”
