Dear Ms. Worthington,
Thanks so much for the information. I'm fortunate to have easy access to the Virginia Historical Society and the King papers, though I've not taken the time to look at the Douglas file. George King was a remarkable genealogist and did his work at a time when there was no Internet and he had to drive to courthouses. He knew (and was related to) many descendants of the earliest Virginia families who happily shared personal papers with him. His research on local families is unequaled and it is very, very rare that current genealogists prove him wrong. He died unmarried and left his massive collection of papers to his brother who, kindly, passed them on to the historical society.
I found Archibald, Mourning, Triplett, and William A. Douglas listed in the Stafford County militia records and wanted to include a little biographical information about them. I've been fascinated by the dialog about the possibility of one or more of the Douglas slaves being related to them. I'm aware of two situations like that here in Stafford and am quite certain there were many more. I so wish I could do more to help Ms. Tolbert find the information she needs.
Sincerely,
Jerrilynn Eby
