Notes for ROBERT ANDREW DOUTHIT:
Robert Andrew Douthit, born 1683, Coltrain, Londonberry, Northern Ireland, was a Quaker and his wife belonged to the Presbyterian Church in which their son, John (born 1709), was baptized and brought up. When John was 15 years old, he came to America with his parents and they lived in Monocacy, Maryland. He was a weaver by trade and worked in Pennsylvania, New York, and Maryland. In 1738 he married Mary Scott of Maryland.

On May 2nd, 1740 John Douthit had his daughter, Eliesabetha baptized by Pastor Stover at Manaquesen with Heinrich and Eliesabetha Bischoff standing as sponsors. John Douthit settled just north of Robert Wilson on land he had surveyed in February 1742. His 50 acres, which he called "Douthit's Chance" began "at a white oak standing about 50 perches easterly from Flat Run, a branch of Toms Creek." In 1750 John Douthet conveyed this land to Alexander MacKeen who had it enlarged by a resurvey. In passing, we should note a David Doudeth who signed Joseph Wood's 1745 petition for a rerouting of the Monocacy Manor Road. -- Pioneers of Old Monocacy, The Early Settlement of Frederick County, Maryland 1721-1743, Grace L.
