Douglas lost his Scottish Minister father to death at the age of 6. He ended his High School as student body President.

He married and fathered children but the marriage ended after 30 years. He was to marry another 3 times and set records unlikely to be broken while he sat in the United States Supreme Court based upon the nomination by Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
