Biography

This profile is part of the McDougal Name Study.

Archibald was born in 1795. (Probably in Canada) As often is the case more than one version of the surname has been used. MacDougald, McDougall

Catherine McGillies was to married Archibald Macdougald 5 Jun 1832 in St Andrew`s West, Ontario, Canada.^[1]

His date of death is also unclear, 1838 is suggested by one source, 1856 by another and and 1862 by another. If as early as 1838 where does that leave the children born after that date?
