NOTE:  Dominie Douglas, the common ancestor of all the Dou glas(s) famili es names in the foregoing register, was bor n at or near Belfast in Irelan d, 2 May 1732 . His parents w ere of Scotch decent and undoubtedly belong ed to higher cla ss of society as Dominie well remembered that his fath er wa s a man of some distinction; had horses and servants a nd ke pt up an expensive establishment. But both his parents die d when Do minie was only six or seven years old leaving hi m to care of an elder bro ther who was then an adult, who fo r motives unknown whether good or bad c annot now be known , placed Dominie board a merchant vessel when he was ab ou t eight years old, providing him extremely well with clothi ng suitab le for a gentleman’s child.

The captain of the vessel made much of him. They sailed t o Holland and th ence to America--Rhode Island at Providenc e near which the captain left D ominie with orders to have h im kept at school until the captains hould re turn, providin g for his support and schooling for several months. B ut th e captain never return nor did Dominie ever hear from him o r of h is Irish relation afterwards. In those days a voyag e to Europe was a gre at undertaking and an intercourse by l etters or otherwise was a great und ertaking.

The lad was kept at school for some time after the funds le ft were exhaus ted. When no claim being made for him nor any thing heard from the capta in or his other friends, little D ominie was bound apprentice by the to wn authorities to a fa rmer by the name of Wheaton in Seabank, Massachuset ts.

In this family he grew up to manhood after which he serve d several campai gns as a volunteer in the Old French War. R eturning at the close of the w ar from the northern frontier , he stooped at New Milford, Connecticut whe re he became ac quainted with Mary Warner whom he married May 5, 1760. T hi s Mary Warner was a good and most amiable grandmother. Sh e was the dau ghter of Joseph Warner of New Milford, then de ceased, and of Sarah, his w ife. She was born at New Milfor d December 10, 1743. Her father died elev en days after he r birth. Her mother remained a widow and died when Ma ry wa s about thirteen or fourteen years old.

Dominie and Mary settled on a farm three or four miles sout h of the prese nt village of New Milford Church where they r emained about 26 years, (tho ugh, I believe, not quite all t hat time on that farm.) there, all their c hild were born.

Grandfather Douglas served a number of campaigns as a milit ia ,man in t he Revolutionary War. (Dominie Douglas served i n t he Revolutionary W ar as a private in Captain John St. J ohn’s Company, 5th Connecticut Regim ent commanded by Colone l Philip B. Bradley. He enlisted July 1, 1780 a nd was disch arged December 27, 1780. (This was copied from recor ds of t he War Department, Washington D.C.)

In the course of that war he lost nearly all his property b y selling h is land for Continental bills which soon depreci ated t o almost nothin g. I saw some of those old bills in h is old pocketbook. When I ( Laura Hu bble Dobell) was a chil d in 1785 or’86, they moved with most of their c h ildren t o Shoreham, Vermont where Grandfather Douglas purchased a n ew fa rm of wild land and with the aid if his sons, cleare d it up. On this fa rm he reminded , with a short exception , until his death at the age of se venty-five on 4th of Apri l, 1807.

Grandmother Douglas married a second husband, David Cutting , of Orvill e, the Grandfather of Azariah Cutting Flaggso lo ng known as a comptrol le r of the state of New York, with w hom she lived until her decease 1 Ma rch 1819. Her second hu sband, survived her many years and died December 3 1, 1833 a t the age of ninety-one years of age. Dominie and Mary li e si de by side in the small burying ground in the south par t of Shoreham, Ver mont. A double stone marks the place of t heir repose. Inscribed on the st one are these words -- "I n memory of Dominie who died April 4, 1807, A ge 75 years an d Mary, Wife of Dominie Douglas and afterwards Wife of Da vi d Cutting, Died March
