Hugh McDougal was probably born before 1696, if he was 20 years or older when he was transported to America. According to David Dobson, Hugh McDugle was a Jacobite captured at Preston. He was transported to Virginia in 1716. and sold to Robert Hanson in Maryland on October 17, 1716.
Hugh married Elizabeth about 1730 in Maryland.
The children mentioned in Hugh's will were:
John McDougal (March 11, 1731)
Elizabeth McDougal
Mary McDougal.
Some researchers believe that Benjamin Ricketts married Hugh's daughter, Elizabeth, but that is unlikely since Benjamin married about 1720 and Hugh had only been in the colonies for a few years. When he died, it appears that his children were quite young.
In 1732 Hugh Mcdougall inherited John MacBayn's (Macbean) estate in Anne Arundel County. John Mackbayn arrived on The Friendship on August 31, 1716. He had fought against the English King at Preston. John was sold to indenture to John Ford. He became a planter in Anne Arundel County as a Planter in Anne Arundel. His Will was dated March 9, 1732.
In 1733 he was executor of John Mackland's estate in Anne Arundel.
He wrote his will on June 18, 1735 in Prince George's County. It was administered by Benjamin Ricketts. When he wrote his will, his son and probably his daughters were minors. Usually married women are mentioned by their married names.
In 1744 and 1753, Elizabeth Ricketts, wife of Benjamin Ricketts was listed as the executrix of Hugh McDugal's estate.
John McDougle married Charity Duvall on February 20, 1757 in Prince George's, Maryland. She was the daughter of Samuel Duvall and Elizabeth Mulliken.
In 1787 Benjamin Mcdugle witnessed Benjamin Ricketts' will.
