The first known census record for this family is in 1840, St. Lawrence Co., NY p. 147 (Lisbon), a listing for John McDugald (1 male 0-5, 1 male 5-10, 1 male 30-40, 1 female 0-5, 1 female 20-30) — no other relatives evident in Lisbon. A James McDougall family in Rossie, St. Lawrence Co., came from Scotland or England about 1817, thus not believed to be a relative. Birthplaces of the children of John and Elvira suggest migration, perhaps by way of Canada, to Wisconsin about 1845 (however, the obituary of his daughter Sarah says the family crossed the Great Lakes and landed at Fort Dearborn, Michigan, about 1846), then to Illinois about 1849, then Clinton Co., Iowa about 1852 (per obituaries of Carrie E. McDougall Reedy and Sarah E. McDougall Hullinger). The family seems to have stayed in Clinton Co. until the late 1860's (marriages of children there). Court records put them in Linn Co., IA around 1870, but they seem to have left before the 1870 census. By 1871 (marriage records) they are apparently in Greene Co., IA. Carrie McDougall's obituary shows them moving to Hubbard, NE (Dakota Co.), but this might be Hubbard, IA (Hardin Co.) sometime between Linn Co. and Greene Co. Her parents are in Harlan Co., NE by 1880. Deed records there should be examined to determine when they arrived. Family of Lucinda McDougall Grundy indicates they were in NE as early as 1876. (Some descendants of the Hullinger family place the birth of John McDougall in Aberdeen, Scotland. The source for this attribution is unknown, but it is contrary to every other source that has come to light so far, including all federal and state census records, where his birthplace was always recorded as New York.)
It is possible some members of the family lived with relatives at various times. Birthplace of Hester ("New York City") seems to be a detour, but not impossible. Marriage of an Elizabeth McDougall in Clinton Co., IA in 1860, and presence of Dugald McDougall in Linn Co., IA census in 1870, suggests there may be related McDougall families in that area, but none of these families has been followed up.
Information from Lorraine Wallace: Pension file of John R. McDougall includes a statement by S. D. Fitzgerald, who knew the family in Iowa as well as Kansas. He says that John McDougall Sr. "cut up" a man named Bullock and lost his farm over the incident. This happened in Linn Co., IA near Center Point sometime between 1868 and 1873. Lorraine has found deeds dated March 1870 in Linn Co., IA, in which John and Elvira sell their land. Who was this S. D. Fitzgerald? A friend, or a relative?
Information from Ernest Grundy: His grandmother, Lucinda McDougall Grundy, liked to pore through her memorial Civil War books, and told of her two brothers in that war (John R. and William James) and how one was wounded at the battle of Shiloh (John R. McDougall's discharge certificate notes that the ball remained permanently embedded in his left thigh, permanently interfering with the motions of the hip joint). Ernest Grundy's father told him how the McDougalls kept a station on the underground railroad just before the Civil War. When one of Lucinda's brothers took food down to the escaped slaves in their hideaway and heard their stories, he vowed he would join the Army some day and help put an end to slavery.
James R. McDougall has provided copies of pages from his grandfather John R. McDougall's family Bible, confirming John McDougall Sr.'s birthdate but not mentioning his death at all.
Each of the accounts of our John McDougall gives the impression, sometimes explicitly, that he was a difficult, argumentative man. His son John R. accused him of falsifying his homestead application. Other accounts paint him as a "hell fire and brimstone" preacher, associated with the "hardshell Baptists". He seems to have left Linn Co., IA as a direct result of a knife fight, and the family seems never to have stayed more than a few years in any one location.
With all branches of the family contacted (the last was that of Phebe Jane, her descendants contacted us in 2016), it does not appear that any recollection of the ancestry of John McDougall survives.
Probably the closest thing we have to a clue is contained in the records of the United Presbyterian Church of South Argyle, Washington Co., NY. The extant marriage records begin 1830, and on the second page appears "John McDougal & Miss Uran", dated 11 aug 1832, and apparently noting they are from the Hebron congregation. The Hebron congregation would presumably be the Presbyterian church there. The baptisms do not mention any of the McDougall children, nor do the Urans appear. However, there is a family list dating from approximately 1830, showing the following John McDougalls: John McDougald with family member John W., James 1st with family members James 2nd (wife Ellenor?) and likely his son John H., another James with family member John, Daniel with family member John B. The 1830 communicants list has 2 James as well as John (wife Mary) and Daniel (wife Catherine). There are also McDougalls in the records of the First Presbyterian Church of Argyle, but those begin about 1852.
Land records: Harlan Co., NE land entries include: John McDougal, land in Sec 32 (and part of 29?) T 1 N, R 18 W, 160 A, sale dated 24 oct 1872 (#461), final certificate 1162 issued 16 may 1878. A further cancelled entry in Sec 19 (159.56 A) is dated 12 sep 1879 (#2869), cancelled 20 oct 1885, reference #107467-1885. The latter occurred after his death, so may be correspondence noting date of death. Across the state line, Elvira tried to obtain land near her son's farm in Phillips Co., KS. Her application states that she has lived on "the place" since May, 1884. This might mean that John Sr. died shortly before that date. There is just a possibility that John McDougall survived long enough to have died after May 31, 1884, in Nebraska. In that case, he should be listed on the mortality schedule for the 1885 census of Nebraska, preserved at the National Archives. This possibility has not been checked. An item in the Columbus, Nebraska Journal for 24 may 1882 notes that John McDougall and his wife were then living in Richardson Co., likely with their son William.
The pattern of naming among the early Washington Co., NY, McDougalls generally follows the traditions of the English border lands. The first son is likely to be named after the father's father, and the second son after the father himself. If this pattern were followed, the most likely father of John would be John R. McDougall. Indeed, the only impediment to this attribution of parentage is the existence of a John Walter McDougall buried at South Argyle Presbyterian Church. Jennie Patten puts his dates as 24 apr 1810 - 17 jan 1831, and the published cemetery records show the same death date, but show age 24, resulting in a birth year of 1806, and with the inscription "son of John". Jennie's reading of the dates, evidently from correspondence before 1935, is probably the more credible. Further, there is a notation of a John W. in the family list of John R. McDougall and Mary Ann Harsha in the records of that church (early 1830's?), but that John W. is not noted as being dead. It is just possible that the John W. McDougall buried at South Argyle is not the son of John R. and Mary Ann, and that the John McDougall who married Elvira Uran is their true son.
Among the newspaper clippings from Clinton Co., IA, where the Hullinger family lived, we found an account of a most improbable reunion, on Thanksgiving Day, 1911, at which Phebe Jane McDougall, now Mrs. N. D. Strickland, was reunited with all but one of her sisters after a separation of sixty years. She had not even met one of her sisters! Phebe Jane had evidently been left behind in Illinois when the family moved on to Iowa, though the newspaper account did not explain what happened. She must have lived with some other family, perhaps one of the Dickersons or Dickensons, and eventually married Nelson Day Strickland. How a child less than 10 years old could be abandoned is almost beyond belief today, but perhaps she had displeased her extremely difficult father in some way and was taken into another household as a helper or even as an adopted child. The newspaper clipping is quoted in full in our account of Phebe Jane McDougall. A partial answer to this puzzle is found in Phebe's death record in McHenry Co., IL, which says she was the child of John Mcdougal and Harriet Dickerson, and that she was born in Canada! Did her father leave his family for a time and then return to them? After considerable research, this mystery now seems to be solved: Phebe was given up for adoption!
A weak genetic link between descendants of Carrie McDougall Reedy and descendants of Edward Town (Towne, Towns) and his wife Nancy McDougall, daughter of Ronald and Euphemia McDougall, suggests that our John McDougall might have been a grandson of Ronald and Euphemia. Very little is known about some of Ronald's descendants, though there is circumstantial evidence suggesting that he was survived by 7 children. The Town family migrated to St. Lawrence Co., New York, and then to Ontario. Birthplaces for John McDougall's children also include St. Lawrence Co. and, apparently, Ontario. Also, Sarah McDougall Hullinger's obituary places her birth in Essex, New York, the same area (Elizabethtown) where Robert McDougall, apparently one of the 7 children of Ronald and Euphemia, lived for at least 40 years.
As a result of new genetic matches, we are now convinced that our John McDougall belongs in the family of Robert McDougall. Two siblings who would be John Wayne McCoy's fourth cousins under this scenario have been found, with total shared autosomal DNA of 40cM, and there are weaker matches with other descendants of Robert and with at least one of Robert's siblings. This group of matches seems very unlikely to have come from any other possible source, and so we have detached John McDougall from the fictitious record "The Washington County NY McDougalls" and attached him as another son of Robert.

John MCDOUGALL (ID #I19895)
(male)
- BIRTH: CIR 1790
- DEATH: 18 JAN 1837, Lawrenceville, Tioga Co., PA
Father: William MCDOUGALL (b. 1730, d. 7 JAN 1826)
Mother: Sarah GILLILAND (b. 1751, d. 26 APR 1818)
Possibly this John McDougall is the otherwise unidentified head of family in
the 1830 census of Ft. Edward, p. 305. If so, he had at least 3 sons and
apparently moved to PA after 1832. A census listing in 1835 for John Jr.
could also be this person, though no children were living with the family and
a female child had been born and died in the previous year. Fitch's notes
based on Nathaniel McDougall (1847) indicate John died in PA, but do not
mention when or where.
Another possibility is that John went to PA with his brother Samuel, to Tioga Co. In 1830, there is a Rebecca McDougall age 30-40 with 2 younger females and one younger male living near Samuel. Rebecca must be the widow of a related McDougall, and
John is the most likely one, the only one of his siblings (other than Robert and Andrew, who went to GA) who died before 1847, when Asa Fitch recorded information given by Nathaniel McDougall.
However, the will of John McDougall dated 18 jan 1837 and apparently recorded and entered into probate the same day, leaves his land in Washington Co., NY (apparently his only land, unless there was additional land involved in his share of the estates
of his deceased brothers Robert and Andrew) to Nathaniel McDougall, with an additional cash bequest to his sister in law Polly McDougall for the education of her children. The widow Rebecca and the census listings in Washington Co. would therefore
probably pertain to someone else. Executors of the will were Samuel McDougall and Buell Baldwin, then a county commissioner.

John C. MCDOUGALL (ID #I19781)
(male)
Father: Robert MCDOUGALL (b. ABT 1807, d. ABT 1890?)
Mother: Margaret A. KILMER (b. ABT 1815, d. 01 OCT 1886)
Family 1
:
Hulda _____ (b. 1845)
- Frank MCDOUGALL (b. 1865)
Family 2
:
Mary Jane WILKINS (b. 1856, d. 1935)
- +Mary Jane MCDOUGALL (b. 15 APR 1889, d. 23 JUL 1970)
We think he is likely the John McDougall age 25 with wife Hulda and son Frank who appear in the 1870 census of Lewis, Essex Co., New York. However, this family group has not been located in any other census. The same (?) John McDougall (if he is the Civil War veteran) is thought to have married later to Mary Jane Wilkins. The 1865 census does not show that the John McDougall who was the son of Robert and Margaret was involved in the Civil War, but it may be that the enumerator simply failed to enter the required data in the separate section of the census schedule.
The John McDougall who was in the Civil War and who apparently belongs here had military service as follows: Mustered in 05 jun 1861 as Private, Co. K 38th NY Infantry, at East New York. Transferred to Co. F 21 dec 1862. Mustered out with company 22 jun 1863, at East New York. Enlisted as Private 08 dec 1863 at Plattsburgh, Co. E 2nd NY Veteran Cavalry, discharged 23 mar 1865, New Orleans. Pension (application?) dated 14 aug 1869, application 146896, certificate 116129. His obituary on Find-a-Grave and that of his wife (however, no sources cited, so authenticity of these obituaries has not been confirmed) mention his service. In fact, the account of John McDougall could equally well come from a county history, as it does not actually mention his death: "John McDougal was the son of Robert and Margaret (Kilmer) McDougall, both natives of Argyle, Washington County, New York. John's father was of Scot descent; his mother's family was German. The McDougall and Kilmer families came to Essex County via the town of Essex before 1830, residing in the Whallon's Bay section. John McDougal enlisted in the Civil War, serving in Company K of the 38th New York Volunteer Infantry, and later in Company E of the 2nd New York Veteran's Cavalry. His first enlistment was with the 38th, having joined in 1861. His regiment saw action in the Virginia campaign. He suffered from disease and sickness during this time, sometimes being treated at the military hospital. He re-enlisted with the 2nd New York Veteran's cavalry in December 1863, and was dispatched to the Red River campaign in Louisiana and Missisippi. He was discharged from service in the Union army due to disability from dysentery and a gunshot wound to the right foot received in May 1864 at Morganza Bend, Louisiana. This wound occurred when his carbine accidentally discharged while his horse was jumping a ditch. Later in life, after the war, John walked with a shambling gate, walking on the inner border of his right foot - this caused by the gunshot wound which fractured the second and third metatarsal bones. After the war, John made his living farming in Lewis, New York."
However, we found a short death notice in the Elizabethtown Post, April 2, 1914: "John McDougal died at his home in the town of Lewis several days ago. In his strong young manhood the deceased enlisted in Company K of the 38th N. Y. Vols., (2d Scott Life Guards) and went to the front to fight for his country, leaving Elizabethtown for the battle line May 28, 1861."
His children by both known wives, and from any possible additional marriages, need to be documented. One apparent child is a Mary McDougall 1889-1970 who married William Pulsifer, great-grandparents of Angela Rancour, a strong DNA match with our McCoy family and most likely Dad's fourth cousin once removed. Documentation would be improved if the Civil War pension file for John C. McDougall could be obtained. Because he died after 1930, it appears the file is still in the custody of the Department of Veterans Affairs rather than the National Archives.

- Pamelia (Millie) MCDOUGALL (b. 1818)
The census entry for 1820 appears twice on the same page with identical data. It is not known if there were two families, or a duplication. Middle intial on 1835 census only. If the John McDougall in the 1810 census of Argyle (p. 458) living near Daniel Sr. is this one, then Daniel must have had an additional son who has not been identified.
