 THE SON OF LIBERTY FROM ISLAY
McDougall, born on Islay in the summer of 1732, was the second of five children to Ranald and Elizabeth McDougall.
McDougall was six years old when his family left Islay and the "fl-house"- a damp, drafty, two-room cottage with stone-and-peat walls and a timber-and-thatched-straw roof.
McDougall remained a proponent for nonimportation of British goods, and even assumed an active, radical leadership role for the Sons of Liberty against importation, in spite of the fact that his own financial income was adversely affected by the stance.

 Alexander McDougall
Their sentiments were embodied in a communication to that House, which was borne by a committee of seven leading Sons of Liberty, namely: Isaac Sears, Caspar Wistar, Alexander McDougall, Jacob Van Zandt, Samuel Broome, Erasmus Williams, and James Varick.
McDougall was emphatically a "man of the people." He thoroughly sympathized with those classes in society--the working men and women--who are generally weak in social and political influence where, as then in New York, an aristocratic class bears rule, because of their inability to make their voices heard by those in authority.
Without any of the spirit of a demagogue, he was a popular leader, because the people saw that his whole soul was enlisted in his efforts in their behalf, and like every really earnest man, the utterances of his convictions carried with them great weight.
