Biography

William McDougald is a part of US Black heritage.

William was born about 1874 in Columbus County, North Carolina. He was the son of Richard McDougald and Mary Peacock. His two older brothers went on to medical schools and became practicing physicians, while William stayed in the same area where he was raised (possibly the same land) and farmed. He married a widow with children, Sarah George Mason, in 1900. They added a child of their own to the family. William and Sarah farmed in Tatums, Columbus County until he passed away in Tatums in 1946. He was buried in the McDougald Cemetery.
