A lieutenant George Douglas was in James Spens' [SSNE 1624] regiment in Swedish service in 1624. He is possibly the same as George Douglas listed as a captain of a company in Colonel James Ramsay's [SSNE 3315] regiment in 1631. That man was shot through the heart at the storming of Creutznach in February 1631.
