The Doub Family
The Doub family is a French family that emigrated from the Moselle region of France to the New World, spreading widely in mid-Atlantic colonial America. There are several branches of the Doub family, but the two earliest branches are the Maryland Doubs and the North Carolina Doubs.
The Maryland Doubs
The Maryland branch settled first in Frederick, Maryland, then further into frontier Maryland, starting in the early 18th century. Several early Doubs were active land speculators in Frederick, and their names are mentioned on many colonial-era deeds. Ezra Doub ran for the Maryland legislature in 1841 on the Whig ticket, and lost.
Maryland Doub family members were active in the taming of the Western Maryland frontier, and played a prominent role in the agriculture, economy, and politics of Washington County, Maryland from the earliest days of the county.
The Doub's Mill Historic District and Doub Farm in Keedysville are both named after the Doub family. Another Doub family farm in Boonsboro, Maryland was reportedly used as a field headquarters during the Battle of Antietam; the family had fled the battlefield and taken refuge in the western Maryland hills.
