Ambrose Douthit lived in Kentucky until about 1826. He moved to the Texas side of the Red River in about 1830 as a member of the Wavells Colony. He managed to aquire considerable acreage in Texas of which 4,605 acres were in Red River County. In Lafayette County, Arkansas he became a Justice of the Peace and a Magistrate but in 1842 was accused of neglecting his duties as a estate administrator and he was to be held liable on his bond. In 1858 in connection with the settlement of his fathers estate, Ambrose was in Collin County, Texas. About the murder of Ambrose, as told by Pat Sanford, great-granddaughter of Sanford George Bowling - Ambrose was known to beat his wife and on one ocassion the two boys were at the corral and heard one of the beatings and George Bowlings grabbed the axe and he and his brother ran to the house and the results was that Ambrose died at the hands of his stepsons.
