Burrell Douglas Jr. was born 1865 in Wayne County, GA. He is the son of Burrell Douglas Sr. and Mary Ann Strickland. His tombstone says he was born in 1869, but according to census records and the death date of his mother, he was born circa 1865. He appears first on the 1870 Glenmore, Ware County, Ga census in the household of his father Burrell Douglas, along with his siblings, William, Henry, Jane, Seaborn, Mary Ann and Nancy Carter and her son William,  and Burrell Jr. is 5 years old. He also appears on the 1880 Glenmore, Ware County, GA census in the father's house. In Ware County, GA  Burrell Jr. marries Minnie Newton and together they had no children.

   Burrell Jr. was on the 1900 Schlatterville, Pierce County, GA census next to his brother Henry. Then he is on the 1910 and 1920 Schlatterville, Pierce County, GA.

   My father, Silas Douglas remembered Burrell Jr. and told me some family stories about him. One of the stories is about Burrell Jr. and another man  (name unknown) having a fight. The men in the community were edging this fight on. So one day that group of men gathered up at the High Bluff Primitive Baptist Church. Each one of them were talking about how mean and wicked they were. My father said Burrell Jr. made his way through the crowd of men and told them that his heart was blacker than all of their hearts. It was told that Burrell Jr. jump in the air, click his heels together 3 times, and crowed like a rooster before his feet hit the ground. After all the bragging was over, Burrell Jr. and the man did fight until they were bloody all over. They fought to a draw, as it was told, and turn around an washed in the same pan of water. But after that fight that day, Burrell Jr. and the man that he fough became friends from then on.

   The next colorful story was when the sheriff of Pierce County, GA and his deputy came to Burrell Jr. house. He was suppose to be checking on some rumours about some moon-shining going on at Burrell Jr.'s house. He knocked on the front door but Burrell Jr didn't open the door, but asked who it was. He found out it was the sheriff and he told the sheriff that he was too busy and didn't have any time for him. The sheriff went around the house and Burrell Jr. was already in the backyard at a moonshine still. The rest of story was that Burrell Jr. asked the sheriff and his deputy to try some of his moonshine and they did. It was told that it took 3 days for the sheriff and deputy to get back to the sheriff's office.

  Burrell Jr. died in 1923 in Brantley County, GA and he is buried in the High Bluff Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery, just outside of Hoboken, GA in Brantley County, GA.
