CAPT. JOHN DOUGLAS, [s/o Asa] born in Canaan, Conn, Aug 2, 1758. His eighteenth year was passed in the American army. He married, May 12, ,1779, Hannah, daughter of Judge (James?) BROWN and Hannah DOUGLAS (#88), of Pittstown. They settled in Stephentown, but subsequently removed to the town of Chazy, on the shore of Lake Champlain: "On the 15th of March, 1793, he landed at the lake shore of Chazy, with his family, of wife and seven children. His was the first English family which settled in this town." He was a man of great influence as the town became settled, and his death was mourned as an irreparable loss. He died in Plattsburgh, as he was on his way to visit his aged mother and his son in Albany, Oct. 16, 1808, fifteen years after his first arrival in Chazy.* His widow passed the last years of her eventful and useful life in the family of her granddaughter in Chazy. Her vigor of body and mind were preserved to a remarkable degree to the end of her life. She died Oct. 4, 1853, at the advanced age of 93 years.
