The Dough family arrived on Roanoke Island at the turn of the nineteenth century. By 1849, Thomas A. Dough obtained a land grant from the State of North Carolina legitimizing ownership of the Dough homestead on the north end of the island. Originally including a house, outbuildings, farmland, and a family cemetery, the cemetery is the only remaining element of the homestead, now part of Fort Raleigh National Historic Site.
