- Dougal MCDOUGALL (dates unknown)
A deed from Dougall and Polly McDougall to James McFarland (vol. L, p. 17) dated 23 sep 1808 involves this couple. There is considerable doubt about this family. The birthdates of the children are so spread out that we are inclined to think more than one family has been combined here. Dougal's portion of Lot 75, the southern third, was divided as follows: 100 acres to James McFarland 23 sep 1808, 41.67 acres to Thomas Martin 26 apr 1810, remainder of 25.71 acres to Samuel Rea, deed not located, but evidently purchased before 26 apr 1810. However, the same 25 acres were sold 07 feb 1823 by James W. Gillis and Archibald J. Gilchrist, administrators of the estate of Samuel Rea, to James Flack, the highest bidder (vol. S, p. 206, 1823, the parcel described as follows: Beginning at the south west corner of said farm lot number seventy five and running thence on the west line of said lot so far north as that a line drawn therefrom and running parralel with the south line of said lot until it strikes the west line of a piece of land formerly owned by James McFarland shall make twenty five acres).

Will dated 07 oct 1774, probated 05 apr 1791. Children petitioned for settlement of the estate on 11 jun 1789. Lists of the Argyle settlers show he arrived in 1739 with wife Janet Calder, and children John, Alexander, Ronald, Dugald, and Margaret. He is still listed with 5 children in 1764. The list of about 1763 claims "six" children, but lists them as "three sons and two daughters", so the total was most likely only 5. By 1763, two sons and a daughter had married, and the married daughter was already widowed with 4 children, however her name has not surfaced.
Duncan was the owner of Lot 75 (farm and town lots), originally totalling 500 acres.
The will of Duncan McDougall, dated 07 oct 1774 (Will book I, 43-45) resulted in division of his farm lot 75 into 3 parts: the northern part, 150 acres, to his eldest son Alexander, the middle third, 150 acres, to Ronald (Ronald also received town lot 75 of 50 acres, which we have not yet followed further) , and the southern third, 150 acres, to Dougall. These divisions are noted in later deeds. No widow is mentioned, so Janet must have died before the will was drawn up in 1774. Thus the will divided the farm Lot 75 among the surviving sons. Duncan's daughters, Nancy, Peggy, and Jenny, had already received "their full part" out of Duncan's effects. Duncan further made provisions that his sons should support him during the remainder of his life, and the executors were to be his sons Alexander and Ronald. The will was proved 25 apr 1791, with Ronald designated the Executor.

Last 2 digits of year are cut off in my copy of Jennie M. Patten's manuscript.

11jun1789 is date of petition for partition of estate, will is dated 07oct1774, probated 05apr1791. Mentions sons Alexander, Ronald, and Dougal, plus daughters Margaret, Nancy, and Jennet.

This is probably the Duncan McDougall who appears on p. 466 of the 1810 census of Argyle, with a male 10-16 in the same household (could easily be a grandson). The readings for 1790 and 1800 are consistent, and reveal 3 sons and 4 daughters, possibly more. However, the age in the 1800 census is still in the 26-45 category. A possible explanation might be that a generation has been skipped.
This might be the same Duncan McDougall who married Ann Traford by 1768 and had at least 6 children. The name Traford turns up later in a great niece of Duncan, suggesting a connection. The Traford family seems to be centered around the Mt. Ross area (Livingston Manor). So far, no further trace of Catherine has turned up, and Duncan is otherwise only known to have one child. There were, however, other Duncan McDougall's in the Hudson Valley, and it is difficult to be sure which was which. Ann Traford might be the widow Ann McDougall in the 1800 census of Argyle, but if that is so, we would have to find an explanation for the Duncan McDougall in the same census who would then be unidentified.
A Duncan McDougall 1744-1795 is believed to have been the soldier who was a member of the Tyrone County New York Commitee of Safety, 24 may and 02 jun 1775, claimed in 1896 as ancestor of NY SAR member Edward Jonathan Wheeler.

1800 census shows him living in Hebron, with wife and daughter. How many children did he have? Jennie Patton's notes show only the sons, but we strongly suspect he was the father of the Nancy McDougall (born 25 jan 1811, per family notes) who married Benjamin Reynolds. Benjamin died in 1872 and is buried in the McEachron Cemetery (also known as Cossayuna Lake Cemetery), but Nancy and at least some of her children moved away. Our own John McDougall seems also to be associated with Hebron, and a descendant of Benjamin and Nancy Reynolds turns out to share two DNA segments with some of our McDougall cousins. Nancy would be a first cousin of our John McDougall, but apparently not a sibling, as the birth dates are only 8 months and 20 days apart. Death record for Nancy was found in Mower Co., MN, she died 18 mar 1895 age 84 years, 1 month, 25 days, which seems to place her birth date at January 21, 1811, and her parents were named as D. McDougall and Phebe.

(no more text, there were no witnesses present at the signing of this deed)
Washington County SS. On the 28th day of March 1835 came before me James Proudfit a Commissioner of deeds in and for the said county, John McDougall and Duncan McDougall and Phebe his wife to me known to be the persons men. (=mentioned ?) in the within deed and acknowledged that they executed the same and the said Phebe on a private examination apart from her husband acknowledged that she executed the same freely without fear or compulsion of her said husband. J. Proufit.
I certify the preceding to be a true record of the original deed and of the Commissioner's certificate of allowance therein endorsed. Recorded March 28, 1835 at 2 PM. Edward Dodd, Clerk.
Questions: Can this parcel be identified in other deeds? Which John McDougall might this be? What explains the joint ownership by John and Duncan (R.) McDougall (whose wife was Phebe Crowe)? How does this transaction relate to any of the McDougalls who married about this time?
Since at this time the spouses were also required to sign when property was sold, we can rule out that the John McDougall in this deed is the one who married Elvira Uran, because they were married in either 1832 (church record) or 1833 (bible record). We can infer that the John McDougall who signed was unmarried, and further, that he most likely was a relative of Duncan R. McDougall. At an earlier date, there were apparently seven heirs at law who had an interest in this parcel of about 35 acres, so it seems logical that at least five of those (Robert, and four others) had already died or else sold their interests in the property, leaving John and Duncan as the sole representatives of Ronald and Effie McDougall who still held an interest in it. If any of these transactions can be located, we would be much closer to understanding the genealogy of this family.
