Douglass, William, approximately 1700-1752
Variant namesBiographical notes:
William Boone Douglass was a U S. Cadastral Engineer who surveyed Acoma Pueblo lands. The Acoma people contested the boundaries established by an earlier survey and via Executive Orders of 1910 and 1917. They felt that land granted to them in 1689 by the Spanish was being given to the Laguna people and the Mexicans. They hoped that William Boone Douglass could help them in their cause.
