Hello Researcher's
This is a fishing expedition, and I hope to catch a number of you folks
who have my Samuel in your records.
In Madison County, KY I found on the tax list for 1792, I think that was
the year. A Samuel Douglass. Also in the 1810 census Samuel appeared
again, he is listed as being over age 45 in 1810, and he had a wife and
several children, but in that early census their names were not provided.
It appears that Samuel and his family joined a group of Douglass
families who were migrating to Missouri. Though I have not been able to
find a record to
support my feeling in the matter, I think that Samuel's group were in
Howard or Boone Counties until 1832 when they moved-on to Lafayette
County, MO. Where the families squatted on land, awaiting the surveying
of the land, and the organization of Johnson County, it was then that
they applied for their land. In 1843 they received the patents on their
land. Land that eventually was included in Chilhowee Township.
The 1850 census for that area lists several other Douglass families
residing in that same vicinity. My ggg grandmother, Jane Douglass Wright
Culley was in one of those families. Also there was a James Douglass, and
a George N. Douglass
there too. I suspect that Jane, James, and George are the sons and
daughter of Samuel. And I will welcome your support in establishing my
speculation as being fact.

My Thanks.
