• Notes

  4th son Fannie's 2nd cousin He came to Philadelphia in 1842, where he engaged in business, subsequently removing to New York and becoming a partner in the banking firm of James K. Soutter & Sons. The first authentic reference to Douglas was his marriage at Fanwood, New Jersey, November 14, 1850, to Fanny, eldest daughter of James Monroe, member 1834, nephew of President James Monroe, and Elizabeth Mary Douglas, daughter of George Douglas, member 1784. In 1861 we find him as Secretary of the Great Western Insurance Company, formerly the United States Lloyds. In 1866 he became a member of the Chamber of Commerce. About 1880 he retired from business living thereafter principally at his country residence in Herkimer County, New York. He frequently spent the winter in Europe and while returning on the Kaiser Wilhelm II he died at sea, November 25, 1893. (Research):Also shown as son of George Rose Robinson, who seems to have been identified with the firm of Moncure & Robinson in New York in the twenties and thirties and Robinson Brothers, bankers and shipowners, London and Dublin.
