Genealogy of the Cavers Branch of the Great Scottish House of Douglas, Shewing the Antecedents of John Douglas, Kidnapped & Brought to New England About 1712

Descripción

"Kidnapped" was modelled on the case of James Annesley, a presumptive heir to five aristocratic titles who was kidnapped at the age of 12 by his uncle Richard and shipped from Dublin to America in 1728. He managed to escape after 13 years and return to reclaim his birthright from his uncle in one of the longest courtroom dramas of its time. That may be so, but this case, if true, is eerily similar. Included is some of William Balbirnie's research. The data is spread over two pages, handwritten on three sides, with additional notes and a last photograph of Douglas of Cavers who died circa 1878. A nice piece for anyone interested in the Cavers branch of Clan Douglas, once one of the most powerful clans in Scotland. The data is spread over two pages that were either unattached or have separated and is signed by William Balbirnie, a published author, though of limited output, in his own right, on its face and verso. It is in Very Good condition. N° de ref. del artículo E826
