Lancaster, Pennsylvania Probate Index, 1729-1850 Combined Matches: 2 AN INDEX TO THE WILL BOOKS AND INTESTATE RECORDS OF LANCASTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA 1729-1850 INDEX to the INTESTATE RECORDS OF LANCASTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA 1729 - 1850 page 63 Name: Douglass, Archibald Year: 1756 AN INDEX TO THE WILL BOOKS AND INTESTATE RECORDS OF LANCASTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA 1729-1850 INDEX to the INTESTATE RECORDS OF LANCASTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA 1729 - 1850 page 63 Name: Douglass, Archibald Year: 1774 The four Douglass Brothers - are said to have chartered a ship for themselves and immediate friends, and to have brought with them from their old home whatever promised to make life more comfortable in the new world. This included China and glassware, linens, and bedding,household utensils, and much good furniture, solid mahogany and walnut upholstered in leather, most of which has become scattered thru time,but some of it still prized as heirlooms. One of these things known as the "Douglass Clock", we saw recently in the home of Miss Margaret Douglas Wilson Latta, No. 3902 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. It is a large eight-day grandfather's clock, with fine works and very heavy brass weights, thought to be of French manufacture, that was brought from Scotland by Archibald Douglass nearly 200 years ago. How long it was in the family before they emigrated to America is not known. Butit has ticked away the lives of half a dozen generations on this side of the sea, and is doing its work for the seventh." "Archibald Douglass, a Scotch gentleman of ample fortune emigrated late in life of [sic] America and took up large grants of land in various parts of Pennsylvania. Several of his descendants are handsomely entombed in an old graveyard(St. John Episcopal Church,Compass, Pennsylvania)[in] Chester County, just over the Lancaster County boundary line>"
