McCALL, Hugh, soldier, born in South Carolina in 1767 ; died in Savannah, Georgia, 9 July, 1824. He became ensign of the 3d sub-legion, 12 May, 1794, 1st lieutenant in May, 1798, deputy paymaster-general, 31 January, 1800, and captain in August of that year. On the reorganization of the army in 1802 he was retained in the 2d infantry, brevetted major, 10 July, 1812, and mustered out, 15 July, 1815. He was made military storekeeper at Saran-nah, Georgia, 31 March, 1818, and at Charleston, South Carolina, in May, 1821. Major McCall published a "History of Georgia" (2 vols., Savannah, 1811-'16), a work that, as Jared Sparks said, had "its merits, but the author labored under disadvantages, and his materials were scanty."
