| Notes |
- Of Windsor Plantation, Jamaica
May have been born in 'Eldrick', Penninghame parish
was interred in a crypt he had arranged to have erected to the memory of his parents (unnamed!) in Penninghame Old Kirkyard but sadly his remains, which were in a lead coffin shipped from Charlestown, have now disappeared. The inscription on the crypt reads: "Erected by Samuel Douglas (Late of Jamaica) in memory of his father and mother and here also are interred the remains of the above Samuel Douglas who founded and endowed the Douglas Academy now called the Douglas High School." The remains of Nathaniel Douglas and Margaret Heron together with their dau. Mary, are interred in Clachan of Penninghame Kirkyard.
Mausoleum is now, sadly, in an extremely delapidated state.
- (Research):It appears that Barbara Campbell Highet was either a grand niece or grand grand niece (i'm not clear of generation) of Samuel Douglas
