Important announcement
There is some confusion about this man's mother's marriages and who fathered her children. This confusion can be laid solely at the feet of three Findagrave memorials concerning a fellow named Archibald McDougall. These Findagrave memorials do NOT offer any sources whatsoever for their information. However, there ARE credible sources (see below) for the fact that Elisabeth Scholastica Dubois was married to John McDougall (McDougall-2524) and together they had three sons; Richard (born in 1833), Alfred (born in 1835) and Stephen Ignatius (born in 1836). William Archibald McDougall was the son of Archibald and his wife, not Elisabeth Scholastica Dubois.
If anyone can offer any credible sources that indicate that Archibald McDougall was in any way related to the children of Elisabeth Scholastica Dubois McDougall Fish, please provide this information to the profile manager. Thank you.
