About Archibald McCall

Archibald McCall was a Scottish-born merchant and landowner. Born in Dumfries and Galloway, he settled in the British colony of Virginia in the 1750s. A supporter of the Stamp Act 1765, he required customers to pay the tax associated with the Act, and was tarred and feathered by a mob for his position. Although he was considered a Loyalist, he signed the Virginia Nonimportation Resolutions of 1770 along with Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and other patriots. There is evidence that he supplied Lord Dunmore's troops with food before he left for Britain in 1775. He stayed in Britain longer than he expected, because he could not get permission to return to Virginia.
