Biography

In the year 1816 four McDougall brothers and two sisters immigrated to this Country from Moidart, Scotland. Their names were John, Donald, Archibald, Hugh, Margaret and Catherine. One brother, Alexander, a tailor, remained in the old Country but later emigrated to Australia. Another sister who was married to Alexander Gillis came to Judique and settled there with her husband and family a number of years before. They were the family of Iain, MacGhileasbuiq ic Dhomhnuil.

During the first winter some of them remained at Arisaig, N.S. having landed at Pictou and the others stayed with their sister Mrs. Gillis at Judique. In 1817 they took up lands on a high mountain at Rear Long Point called MacDougall's Mountain. The shore and most favoured lands were previously granted and as they desired to settle in close proximity to one another they went to this high and rocky mountain where by continuous labour and indomitable courage they converted the stout hardwood forests into arable fields.

1 . John was married in the old Country to Mary MacDonald, a sister of Donald Ban who lived at St. Andrews, N. S. They had issue: John, DONALD, Alexander, Catherine, Ann, Margaret and another daughter who died unmarried.

1. (b) Donald was married to Mary McDonald, daughter of Angus McDonald a near kin of the Laird of Glenaladale, with issue, Angus, John, Archibald, Hugh, Donald, Alexander, Coll and James Paul.
