Betsy Douglas was born in 1825 in Montgomery County, Georgia, daughter of Robert Douglas and Sarah Wheeler. Sarah Wheeler was born in 1800 in Montgomery County. Robert Douglas was born in 1790 in Washington County, Georgia, son of Robert and Margaret Douglas, early settlers of Washington County. The area of Washington County that the Douglas family called home was later cut into Montgomery County and still later into Appling County, Georgia. Betsy's siblings included Sarah Ann, born in 1816; William H., born in 1820; Nancy, born in 1821; Robert, born in 1829; Mary, born in 1834; Margaret, born in 1835; Charles M., born in 1837; Amos, born in 1839, Michael, born in 1840, and James C., born in 1841. Father Robert Douglas died in 1867, followed shortly by mother Sarah Wheeler. They are buried in the Camp Ground Methodist Church Cemetery in Bacon County, Georgia. In the series of books entitled PIONEERS of WIREGRASS GEORGIA written and published by Folks Huxford in 1951, it was erroneously written that Betsy married Harmon Deen, born in 1820. Harmon Deen married Malison, born in 1823, prior to 1844, and they became parents to a very large family as reported in the 1860 Census of Appling County, Georgia.
