Curious Douglas family links
This morning, I received a message from someone in Mexico, who was telling me about a fountain in Nacozari, Sonora, where he lives. This town was apparently founded by James Douglas in the late XIX Century. In the early 1920s, his son, James S. Douglas built a fountain as a monument in honour of his father. This fountain still stands today in the plaza in front of the Town Hall.
James Stuart Douglas (1837-1918) was born in Quebec City, son of Scottish-born father, Dr. James Douglas. The family already feature in the Douglas Archives, but I was keen to find out more. New, fuller biographies will feature soon, and further genealogy details will be added as my research into this family continues. Help with this would be welcome!
One of my new discoveries is a curious link to Diana, Princess of Wales, to Princess Margaret (the Queen's sister), and to President Roosevelt. Read more>>>
