FOREWORD
THE genealogy of Littleton was compiled by GEORGE C. FURBER in 1896 and printed in 1897-8.
A fire destroyed the work in 1898 and made necessary a reprint,
which was prepared under the supervision of EZRA S. STEARNS.
The extent of the errata is chiefly due to incorrect material furnished by individuals concerning their ancestry.

DOUGLASS.
The ancestry of that branch of the Douglass family which res. in L. is by no means complete. From the best information obtainable the first American ancestor was:
1. WILLIAM DOUGLASS, who became engaged in an insurrection and fled from Scotland to Boston, Mass., in 1745, was a son or bro. of Archibald, 20th Lord Douglass. He became a shipowner in Portland, Me , where he d. in 1779, leaving two sons, James, captain, lost at sea, and Samuel.
2. SAMUEL DOUGLASS was a Rev. soldier, but what organization he was identified with it has been impossible to ascertain. A Capt. Samuel Douglass from Townsend, Mass., commanded a co. in Col. James Prescott's Regt., but whether it is the same Samuel that res. in L. or not, cannot be positively stated, but there are reasons for believing that the two were identical. Townsend records show that Capt. Samuel of Slip Town, N.H. (now Temple), m. May 29, 1764, Molly, dau. of John and Sarah (Farrar) Conant of Townsend, Mass., and had two ch. born there, John, b. July 1, 1765; Samuel, b. Aug. 22, 1767. He was a resident of Temple, 1777. The Samuel who res. in L. had three sons, Samuel, Simeon, and John, but tradition says John was the youngest, and by a second w., which, if true, would prove that the two Samuels were not identical. It is probable that tradition is wrong; that John was the oldest son, and that Capt. Samuel was the Samuel who res. in L. with his son John, and d. in L. about 1816.
3. JOHN DOUGLASS, son of Samuel(2), m. Lydia, dau. of Obadiah Morse (See), b. in Methuen, Mass., d. in Lowell, Mass. He res. in L. from 1805 to 1844. Farmer. Selectman, 1823-4. d. in Lowell, Mass., in 1863. Ch. b. in L.
