Sylviane was awesome and found the children Nathaniel DOUGLAS had with his second wife Marie-Charlotte TRAVERSY
Does anyone know anything more on their children?

I've got him on Find A Grave Memorial# 46894101 - and I was hoping to link him up with the rest of his children, but I am not too familiar with what is out there for Quebec and haven't be successful. I don't suppose anyone has been researching them have they?

Nathaniel Douglas (1754-1821)
Children by 2nd marriage to Marie-Charlotte Traversy
Charles b. June/July 1798,
Claire b. April 16, 1800,
Henry, b. Oct 30, 1802,

After his removal to Canada he married, as his second wife a Miss. TRAVAISSA [Marie-Charlotte TRAVERSY b. 1763 in Saint-Francois-du-Lac, Quebec], whose father came from France with LaFAYETTE. By her he had five or six children, but no account of them or their descendants has been obtained. Nathaniel DOUGLAS died at Douglasville, Oct. 5, 1821.

At times I wonder if my Benjamin Douglass, born in Jan 1804 or 1805, married to Felicite Dupuis and residing in Black Brook, Clinton Co, New York where he died in 1875 might be the same Benjamin Douglass as you list above. His marriage record in Quebec to Felicite lists his father as a Charles Douglas and the mother's name is blank or too blurred out to read.

Another member here has a journal transcription from the journal my Benjamin's son George W Douglass which states Benjamin's father's name was Harry Douglas. I've not been able to find any Charles or Harry or Henry Douglas who looks promising as the parent. In addition, I've not found any birth record that could fit for my Benjamin other than the one listing Nathaniel and Charlotte as parents. I notice that Nathaniel and Charlotte also had a daughter named Claire. My ancestor is Benjamin and Felicite's daughter Claire and sometimes Clarissa Douglass who was baptised in Laprairie and married in Napierville.

So it's all curious, but I can't find enough to decide for sure. Thoughts?

Hmmm - That is interesting!

I don't know too much about this Nathaniel - Let me ask the Douglas mailing list - I think I ran into someone who was researching them, Let me see if I can find them.

I've had ancestors that switch first and second names when they move, but this would be three?
