X00038 William Douglas Passenger List - Solved!
I finally managed to find a passenger list for William Douglas, my fourth great-grandfather.
I knew that he was born in Scotland and from the letters that he had sent, had relocated to Vermont to teach at a school there. I checked a number of passenger and immigration lists, including Filby's, but couldn't find anything.
I did find a mention in Volume 2 of A Dictionary of Scottish Immigrants to the U.S.A. by Donald Whyte:
All of the other information checked out, and it gave a date of "before 1825". I next was able to find a reference to a William Douglas, teacher, who arrived in New York from Scotland on the Sceptre on 24 July 1822.
Here is the port registration for the Sceptre:
And here's the actual passenger list:
