It's been while so I'm posting again. I figure someone will come along
soon with what I need.

I am trying to find the parents of John Douglas, and where he came from.
In over two years of searching, this is what I've found: They apparently
started out in Scotland, came to Virginia, then to North Carolina and on
to Tennessee.

The will of John DOUGLAS of St. Stephens Parish, Northumberland Co., VA,
lists his wife, Susanna, daus., Susanna Beecham, Jean Headly, Magdalene
Lewis; sons, John DOUGLAS, Thomas DOUGLAS, William DOUGLAS, Edward
DOUGLAS, & Rodham DOUGLAS.
Extr. son, Rodham DOUGLAS & Thaddeus Jackson. Wit: George Dawson,
William Self, Henry Headly.

John DOUGLAS was born Abt. 1730. He married Susanna UNKNOWN.
Children of John and Susannah UNKNOWN are:
i. Rodham DOUGLAS, SR, b. Abt. 1750, Virginia.
