John McDougall's brother, Archibald McDougall, emigrated to what is now the province of Ontario around 1850 and settled on one of the Manitoulin islands in Lake Huron.  One of Archibald's female descendants, Rita Miller, lived near Toronto in 2015.  (info: Catriona Watt, great-great granddaughter of John McDougall and Isabella McKinnon, Christmas 2014.)
