Notes |
- Columbus C. Douglass first came to the Northern Peninsula in 1838, acting then as assistant to his cousin, Dr. Douglass Houghton, who was appointed the first State Geologist of Michigan.
Mr. Douglass formed a co-partnership with Ransom Shelden, his brother-in-law
- (Research):Our subject's only sister, Mrs. N.Y. Worrall, resides at Philadelphia. Not sure if this is Columbus's sister, or daughter.
Maybe daughter, as it is possible it was his sister, Theresa M. who married Ranson Sheldon
