30. WILLIAM²¹ DOUGLAS (JOSEPH²⁰, JOHN¹⁹, ROBERT¹⁸, ALEXANDER¹⁷, MALCOLM¹⁶, MATTHEW¹⁵, ALAXANDER¹⁴, JOHN¹³, WILLIAM¹², JAMES¹¹, JAMES¹⁰, NICHOLAS⁹ DE DUGLAS, JOHN⁸, JAMES⁷, WILLIAM⁶, ANDREW⁵, ARCHABALD⁴, WILLIAM³, JOHN², WILLIAM¹) (Source: Cary Collection , ca 1885, Ms MD Hist. Soc., Pedigree Chart, ca 1885.) was born Abt. 1709 in Charles Co., Maryland (Source: (1) Niel D.Thompson, The American Genealogist, Vol., 50, No. 1, p-45-51, American Genealogical Association, p-45., (2) Cary Collection , ca 1885, Ms MD Hist. Soc., Pedigree Chart, ca 1885.), and died Aft. February 23, 1765 in Fauquier Co., Virginia (Source: Niel D.Thompson, The American Genealogist, Vol., 50, No. 1, p-45-51, American Genealogical Association, p-45.).

She was born Abt. 1713 in Westmorland Co., Virginia, and died Abt. 1763 in Fauquier Co., Virginia.

Notes for WILLIAM DOUGLAS:
William Douglas was apparently the first member of the family to move from Maryland to Virginia. According to Wilson Cary, William Douglas was still living in Charles County, Maryland in 1761. This would mean that only the last five or six years of his life were spent in Virginia. Cary also states that William and Sarah only had two children, Benjamin T. and Joseph.

It is unfortunate that many of the records of Westmorland, Stafford and Prince William Counties have been lost in two wars. To date his will has not been found.

Very little is known about William Douglas. It is obvious, however, that he was a man of means as his father and grandfather were.
No further information, after this date, has been found. There are indications that he died in 1766, he would have 57 years old.
This Deed of Gift identified him as his "Eldest son",(see Capt. Joseph Douglas)

More About WILLIAM DOUGLAS:
Deed of Gift: January 16, 1739/40, Charles Co. , Maryland (Source: Charles County, MD Land Rcds. 1722-1733,, (T.L.C. Genealogy), pp-97, 365.)

Notes for SARAH BERRYMAN:
This line is directly traceable to Capt. Robert Behethland who came to America in 1607 with Captain. John Smith and founded Jamestown. The name "Behethlon, Behethlan, Behethie, etc. show up in almost all early generations as girls names. Benjamin T. Douglas Sr. had a daughter named Behethlon. This variance is probably due to the differences in pronunciations.

More About SARAH BERRYMAN:
Named in will: June 14, 1762, Westmorland Co., Virginia

Marriage Notes for WILLIAM DOUGLAS and SARAH BERRYMAN:
The bride came from a very prominent family in Westmorland county. Her father, Maj. Benjamin Berryman, was high Sheriffs of the county and owned thousands of acres of land, therefore it is very probable the marriage took place on her family plantation in Westmorland county. The records from this county suffered heavy losses during the Revolutionary and Civil wars. To date no marriage record has been found.
