John Robert Douglas (seated in the chair) as an old man is the same John R. Douglas as in the KY Biography Project. This is my direct ancestor. 
Thought I would share with the board. The cabin still is occupied by a Douglas descendant (her maiden name was Douglas).

JOHN R. DOUGLAS, farmer, P. O. Oddville, was born in Harrison County, Ky.,
March 28, 1814; son of Richard and Martha (Ames) Douglas, he, born near
Fredericksburg, Va., a farmer by occupation, and dying in 1856, aged 76
years; she, born also in Virginia, and dying in 1862, aged 76 years. They
had sixteen children. Our subject received his education in the common
schools of Harrison County, and began life as a farmer. Dec. 18, 1842, he
married, in Harrison County, Ky., Miss Sally Ann Lang, born in Ireland,
April 16, 1822; daughter of William and Sarah (Ross) Lang, both natives of
Ireland, and by which union there are three children living and two dead.
Those living are Sarah A., Martha and John W. He owns 200 acres of choice
land. Himself and wife are members of the M. E. Church, and he is a member
of the ancient and honorable fraternity of Free Masons, and a Democrat.
