The Boston _Evening Transcript_ recently had the following: “Dougherty.
Lieutenant Charles Dougherty removed to Framingham from Brookfield about
1765. When was he born and who were his parents? Was he son of Jane
Dougherty, widow, whose will of 1763 mentions sons: Charles and Micah,
and daughters: Elenor Patterson, Rebecca Getchell and Elizabeth Kendall?
Any facts concerning early Massachusetts Doughertys will be
appreciated.”
