• Notes

  John2 Douglas (John1) brother of the preceeding, and son of John and Eunice (Rattleleaf) Douglas, was born in Middleborough, Mass., about A. D. 1722. About the year 1751, he married Mary Braley, and settled in his native town on a farm situated near what is known as the Beech Woods. He bought the said farm of Mark Haskell, a tanner, for twenty-seven pounds of old tenor. The farm consisted of one-half part of the eighty-sixth lot of land in the third allotment of the sixteen shilling purchase. The deed bears date of February 10th 1746. At the breaking out of the Revolutionary War, he volunteered his services in his country's defence. He was in the battle of Bunker Hill. Sometime during the early part of the war he was taken sick with the camp disorder, from which he never recovered. He died at his home in Middleborough and was buried in the graveyard in that town. After his death his widow lived with her son John, at Plymouth, Mass., where she died about 1788, and was buried in the graveyard at Half Way Pond.
