Archibald McCall (April 28, 1734–October 9, 1814) was a wealthy merchant and landowner. Born in Scotland, he settled in Colonial Virginia in the 1750s. He supported the Stamp Act 1765, he required customers to pay the British tax and was tar 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.
