William Douglas is my fourth great-grandfather. He was born in Scotland in the late 1700s and moved to Vermont in the 1820s. I know that he died in November 1829 thanks to a letter from his brother that is in the Owen Sound archives. I have not been able to find any death record for him, even though there are some death records in Vermont that survive from that time period.
I did manage to find a death notice in the
Northern Spectator (Poultney, Vermont) from 9 December 1829:
Which confirms the date of death given in the letter (albeit being off by a day - the letter says 15 November 1829, whereas the newspaper article says 14 November 1829).
