Thomas BC Douglas The only parish records and muster entries located for a Thomas Douglas who was born in the colony in the early years are as follows:
· Baptism: No entry · 1822 Muster: Douglas, Thomas - BC In gaol for trial, Sydney · 1823/4/5 Muster List: Douglass, Thomas - 23 BC Labourer, Richmond · 1828 Census: Douglass, Thos. - 24 BC Prot. Farmer, Richmond, tot. acreage 29, all cultivated · Marriage: Thomas Douglas married Charlotte Plumb on 11 August 1829 at St Peter's Richmond. Witnesses: Thomas and Alice Adams · Child's baptism: Thomas, son of Thomas and Charlotte Douglas, Farmer, Richmond, born 12 July 1830, baptised 3 July 1831, St Peter's, Richmond.
These records provide the information that Thomas Douglas was born in the colony between 1801 and 1804, resided at Richmond in the 1820's (whereas William Alexander Douglas was residing in Sydney) and worked as a farmer. There is no baptism record for a Thomas Douglas who was born in the early years of the colony nor is Thomas linked with parents in the muster or census records, so from the above sources no information about his parentage can be determined. Further information about Thomas BC Douglas is known. Thomas Douglas and Charlotte Plumb had nine children all born at Richmond and baptised at St Peter's, Richmond, as follows:
1. Thomas - bn 1830 2. Maria - bn 1832 3. Phillip - bn 1834 4. Rachael - bn 1836 5. Sarah Jane - bn 1840 6. Joseph - bn 1843 7. Eliza - bn 1846 8. Charlotte Ann - bn 1848 9. George - bn 1851
