Elizabeth Douglas

Warning

Evidence of an Edinburgh marriage, or his wife Elizabeth's maiden name being "Daly", does not appear to exist. There IS evidence of a birth in 1694 to this couple - in Dublin, Ireland - a daughter Frances, whose fate is unknown. Lack of baptism records in Edinburgh for this family are pretty convincing that most of the family was in fact born in various parts of Ireland, and later in the New World, not in Edinburgh.

Biography

"Lord Archibald Douglass arrived with his family about 1725 on a chartered vessel from Scotland, landing in New Castle County, Delaware. His family included four sons... No concrete evidence has surfaced as to the name of the wife of Lord Archibald Douglass. There are several sources online which detail several candidates. One name which appears regularly is Elizabeth Louise Daly whom he is said to have married in 1685 in Edinburgh."[1]
