General Notes: Husband - Robert Douglass


He crossed the mountains from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the family settling in Raccoon Creek, near Burgettstown, Washington County. This change of residence is believed to have been accomplished about the close of the American Revolution.


General Notes: Wife - Isabella Orr

from Rostraver Twp, Westmoreland Co, PA ???

Her husband died about 1794, leaving her a widow with seven sons, the youngest a posthumous child. Shortly after the death of her husband, she, with her seven sons, left Washington County, Pennsylvania, and moved to Elizabeth township, Allegheny County, settling on a farm about one-half mile away from the village of Greenock. This farm was later known as the Kelly farm, and there she lived to be ninety-four years of age.
