DOUGLASS.
The ancestry of that branch of the Douglass family which res. in L. is by no means complete. From the best information obtainable the first American ancestor was, -
1. WILLIAM DOUGLASS, who became engaged in an insurrection and fled from Scotland to Boston, Mass., in 1745, was a son or bro. of Archibald, 20th Lord Douglass. He became a shipowner in Portland, Me, where he d. in 1779, leaving two sons, James, - captain, lost at sea, - and Samuel.
2. SAMUEL DOUGLASS was a Rev. soldier, but what organization he was identified with it has been impossible to ascertain. A Capt. Sam- uel Douglass from Townsend, Mass., commanded a co. in Col. James Prescott's Regt., but whether it is the same Samuel that res. in L. or not, cannot be positively stated, but there are reasons for believing that the two were identical. Townsend records show that Capt. Samuel of Slip Town, N. H. (now Temple), m. May 29, 1764, Molly, dau. of John and Sarah (Farrar) Conant of Townsend, Mass., and had two ch.

The Samuel who res. in L. had three sons, - Samuel, Simeon, and John, - but tradition says John was the youngest, and by a second w., which, if true, would prove that the two Samuels were not identical. It is probable that tradition is wrong ; that John was the oldest son, and that Capt. Samuel was the Samuel who res. in L. with his son John, and d. in L. about 1816.

When seventeen he left his employer and returned to Franconia for a short time. After another year at the trade he went to Boston, and soon started in the publishing business for himself. Before he was thirty years old he had founded nine periodicals, all of them failures. He then worked as compositor some six months on the " Boston Trav- eller," and during that time formulated and established the " Waverly Magazine," which he started in 1850 with less than five dollars of his own. At first it was published at a heavy loss, but the circulation gradually increased, until at its best it paid a net income of $150,000 a year. Mr. Dow remembered the place of his birth by giving the fine clock on our school building, and of his youth by endowing Dow Acad- emy in Franconia. He d. June 22, 1886. (Childs' Grafton Co.
