    The children of Robert and Margaret Park Dougan were: Maj. Thomas Dougan, Maj. James Dougan, Maj. Robert Dougan, (married his cousin, Mary Johnston, below) William Dougan, and Margaret Dougan.
    Robert appears to have been the first of the immediate family to move south. In 1754 he moved his family to Fairforest Creek in what is now Union County, South Carolina. His stepson, Anthony Park, traveled among the Indians west of the Appalachian Mountains. The book “Colonial and Revolutionary History of Upper South Carolina” states that Anthony wrote, “a man could at that time stand in his door and kill more game than would be sufficient for the support of two families.” Anthony also served in the militia as a wagon master, worked as a blacksmith and was a constable in Newberry County, South Carolina.

    Robert and Margaret had three sons who were officers during the American Revolution: Thomas, James and Robert. James and Robert were killed by Tories in 1781 at or near their home. Thomas survived the war and became a Colonel.
