Hello Wayne
This is Jenni again. ... Since last I connected with you we have found all the birth records for my Moses Douglas born circa 1740. His eldest son was James Douglas baptized 1769 at Shankill Parish Church, Lurgan Armagh. James married Mary Bradshaw December 1792 and appears to have lived in Drumnakelly, Seagoe a townland next door to Moses Douglas (who was in Kinnego).
Antrim and Armagh are seperated by Lough Neigh and I have seen my family travel and marry as far away as Londonderry and Wexford. So travel is not out of the question ...
You will see that the marriage date of my Mary and James are within the ball park of them possibly being the parents of your James. It would explain why your James has a son named Moses (using Irish Scot naming patterns).
We may never find the paper documentation that we need to prove a connection (if this is in deed a correct assumption that I am making), but it is worth a try if there is ever the opportunity to do so. Another option would be DNA test to see if there is a match with my Dad. Best option for that would be a surviving male Douglas from your line, but familyfinder may be successful.
To date, all the other Moses Douglas's that I have found in Ireland are related to my family (except for one I haven't been able to verify so far), so ... who knows.
