She was listed as a resident in the census report 1870 in Crenshaw County, Alabama.She lived with her son, Hugh. Crenshaw County had been formed from part of Pike County. Martha died after 1870.
Alexander was listed as the head of a family on the 1820 Census in Darlington County, South Carolina.Alexander was between 26 and 45 years of age. With him were three younger males. The oldest may have been his brother Ephraim MCDOUGALD. The youngest may have been his son John Dove MCDOUGALD who was born in 1820. There were two females--both age 16-26 One was probably Martha SHAW MCDOUGALD. An interesting thing is that three of the members of the household were foreign born. They had nine slaves.
