THEY ARE OCCUPIED BY FAMILIES, BUT THE HOUSES ARE MONITORED BY A TRUST FOR THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY ARE LIKE HISTORIC LANDMARKS. I WAS THRILLED TO SEE THEM. I WAS IN THE OLDEST ONE, DOWNSTAIRS ONLY. THE YOUNG COUPLE THERE, HE A DENTIST, I BELIEVE, ARE KEEPING THE HOUSE THE WAY IT WAS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. IT IS REALLY VERY LOVELY. THE OTHER HOUSE WAS BEING REMODELED WHEN I WAS THERE, AND THE OWNER DID NOT WISH FOR ME TO ENTER IT. THAT WAS ALL RIGHT, TOO. HE HAD PURCHASED IT FOR AN INVESTMENT; I AM SURE THAT HE RE-SOLD IT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM..."

George Douglas 1690 Oct 1754 North Kingston, Washington, Rhode Island Hathaway, Mary http://www.mocavo.com/visit?q=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thetintypeshop....

When GEORGE DOUGLAS was born in 1702 in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, his father, HENRY, was 79 and his mother, Judith, was 77. He married Mary Hathaway in 1727 in his hometown. They had nine children in 39 years. He died in October 1754 in Rhode Island at the age of 52.

George Douglass born about 1690=1692. Died between 15 Oct 1754 and Nov 1754 in North Kingstown, R.I. To date no place of birht or ancestry has been validated for George Douglass. His will is badly charred and names were dim but legible. He married Mary Hathaway about 1714 in Dartmouth, Mass. She was born 04 Jun 1694 at Dartmouth, Mass., the daughter of John Hathaway (descendent of the Mayflower passengers Francis Cooke and Richard Warren) and Joanna Pope. She died before 1754 because she was not mentioned in his will. George Douglass was a blacksmith like his son John David Douglass (I). George bought his first land in North Kingstown in 1737. In Bates Collection of R.I. History is refered to a Taunton, Mass. probate, where George Douglass and wife Mary of North Kingstown, R.I. gave a receipt to their brother John Hathaway of Dartmouth, Mass. for a legacy from their father John Hathaway o Dartmouth, Mass., on 10 Oct 1737. George Douglass built a house in North Kingstown, R.I. in 1738

George Douglass bought 2 acres of land in North Kinstown from John Watson in 1737. The house he built on that land still stands at th intersection of Tower Hill and Gilbert Stuart Roads. The date of construction, 1738, is carved in the chimney, as are he initils GM set above the letter D to indicate the name of the builder and owner, George and Mary Douglass.

Although the house wa not large, the family was. There were 7 children, the oldest of whom was a son John, John David Douglass (I) became a blacksmith, like his father, John David established himself in Little Rest in 1753 where he was well known for some 20 years.

Court records indicate tht the homestead in North Kingstown continued to be in the hands of the Douglass family through most of the 19th century. One such record in 1828 indicates that a member of th family was awarded $50 in damges from a blow on the nose delivered by one of his neighbors, but the cause of this altercation remains unknown.

The photos of George Douglass House were taken in Jul 2004 by Andrew Hill.

A descendants DNA

Earls of Morton We have proven the Earls of Morton line to 1756, with distant cousins matching. All descendants of John, son of James Douglas 16th Earl of Morton must be R1b1 haplogroup.

There is another descendant of the Earls of Morton, the Swedish branch which has one representative. This line is I1a haplogroup, and other I1a members could be related to the Swedish line, or to the Earls of Morton prior to James the 14th or 16th Earl. At this stage we are unable to say whether the Earls of Morton prior to James the 16th Earl were haplogroup R1b1 or I1a. More information about the lineage of the other I1a members might throw some light on this.

We would like to have further testing for this very important line. We need participants whose line has diverged from the Earls of Morton prior to 1756 and since John of Dalkeith 1330. ie descended from the early Earls of Morton or the Douglases of Lochleven or Dalkeith. The further back your line diverges from the Earls of Morton line the more valuable you are to the project at this stage.

Domini Douglas. Domini has emerged as a distinct yDNA line in the Douglas family. Domini was thought to be an illegitimate son of George (13th or 15th Earl of Morton), and half brother of James (14th or 16th Earl). However his DNA type does NOT match James’s son John. This has been proven by testing two men who are descended from John (5th cousins once removed), and finding that they match. This proves John’s genetic type. Similarly 2 descendants of Domini have proven his haplogroup.

So we can say with confidence now that either Domini or James or John is not descended genetically from George. And since Domini’s genetic type is distinctively Irish (and his mother was Irish) it is likely that Domini has an Irish male ancestor, possibly his father.

This issue will be finally decided when we have an earlier Earls-of Morton descendant to test.

Niall of Nine Hostages The Domini line is descended from Niall of Nine Hostages (a very prolific Irish ancient line) but there are also others in the group who are descended from Niall but not through Domini. Some of these will be Irish lines of the Douglas family, but some of the sons of Niall are known to have visited Scotland and may have left behind Douglas descendants. Niall’s DNA signature is well defined and new participants with Irish heritage may well find they belong to this group. R1b
