Still trying to unravel this, but I believe my ancestor:Isobel Douglas Fortner (born 1725), may in fact descend from Sir Archibald Douglas (died 13 Jul 1647), 9th Laird of Mains, married to a Isobel Elphinston of Blythswood.I show the date of marriage as 22 Jul 1633 ... so not sure this makes sense but I suspect my Isobel was born in Dalkeith, moved to Blythswood (I have pictures of Elphinstone graves from here) and then immigrated to NJ/NY in 1741.Contact me if you want to compare notes and try to explore this further.
