Early arrivals include:

•  (More than one) James Douglas arrived in Virginia as indentured servants in the 17th century.
•  John Douglas, who arrived around 1660 as a young boy. He may have been sent by his family due to hardships in England.
  • Hugh Douglas, aged 22, is listed as a passenger on the Constance, out of London, bound for Virginia, on 24th October 1635
    • William Douglas, living in Virginia, 16th February 1623, possibly 'at Elizabeth Cittie'
    • William Dowglas was granted 250 acres in 1628 'Uppon Apmatucke River'
    • William Duglas, aged 16, a servant, possibly to the Stockton family, [arrived in Virginia]  in the Margett and John, 1621

    Later Arrivals (18th Century):
    •  Records show a Captain James Douglas in Fauquier County, Virginia, born around 1762. He later moved to North Carolina. This suggests a possible arrival in Virginia sometime in the early 1700s.
    •  Benjamin T. Douglas: Appearing in records alongside Captain James Douglas is Benjamin T. Douglas, possibly his father. Their connection to Charles County, Maryland, is also noted, suggesting movement between the colonies.
