On 8 Jun 1761, Susanna, daughter of Samuel Hake, married Samuel Pett. Susanna may have had two brothers, John b1748 and Cotton, b1750. Their father was a clothier.
William Archibald Douglas's will contains details of monetary bequests to his uncle Samuel Pett and to his executors, as well as a bequest to his nephew John Douglas Cooper of a gold watch and seal. The remainder of his fortune was to be shared among his sisters Susannah, Isabella and Charlotte. However, it appears his gold and other itmes disappeared at the time of his death on Madeira.
