The Doub family is believed to be a French family that emigrated from the Moselle region of France, in the time of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685), and settled in Germany.

There are several branches of the Doub family, but the two earliest branches are the Maryland Doubs and the North Carolina Doubs.

A Doub family member, John Nicholas Daub (or Taub), came with his wife and family to the New World in 1752, [1] [2] spreading widely in mid-Atlantic colonial America.

Another Doub, Johan Doub, was born March 27, 1742, in Littfred (now Kreutzal), Germany. [3] He married Mary Eve Spainhour, daughter of Jacobus Wernhardt Spainhour and Elizabeth Lohner, and died October 20, 1814, in Vienna, Forsyth Co., North Carolina. [4]

Maryland Doubs

John Jacob Doub (aka Jacob) (February 27, 1744 – 1824) was born in Minfeld, and moved to the new world with his parents, John Nicholas Doub and Anna Maria König. He then moved into Maryland from Pennsylvania, and died in Frederick Co., Maryland. [2] 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. Jacob Doub married Louisa Bowlus (Paulus) (February 2, 1750 – December 30, 1817), who was born in Frederick Co., Maryland, daughter of Andreas Bowlus and Anna Maria his wife, and who died at Middleton, Frederick Co. [2] Together they had seven sons, and two daughters, Rosanna and Catherine: [5]

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. An Ezra Doub ran for the Maryland legislature in 1841 on the Whig ticket, and lost.

John Doub was born (February 27, 1781) in Frederick Co, Maryland. He married (1804) Catharine Routzahn (1786 – September 15, 1856, Beaver Creek). [2] They settled at Beaver Creek, Wahs. Co, Maryland, two and a half miles south of Middletown. John and Catherine Doub had nine children, seven sons and two daughters: [5]

John Doub died (August 25, 1854) in Beaver Creek, Washington Co., Maryland. The Doub's Mill, the Doub's Mill Historic District (Beaver Creek Maryland) and the Doub Farm in Keedysville are named after him.

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.
