Patrick O'Dougherty born 1750 in Ireland and his descendants in Canada and the U.S.A.

2021 July update

www.dougherty.ca went live in 2003 (before Facebook existed , before Ancestory.com did their IPO) basically, before any of the major social media structures that people use these days (2021) to connect, and share historical family info. This site was maintained regularly for the first 10 years, then most of the content migrated to individual FaceBook pages and Ancestry.ca

I leave the content here still, because it has been helpful to some relatives to see a quick chart without logging in to some password protected site.

Introduction
and
welcome to
www.dougherty.ca

This website serves the purpose of being a tool for identifying and connecting information about all the Doughertys descended from Patrick O'Dougherty b. 1750.
Patrick's grandson, John J. Dougherty b. 1825 immigrated to Canada about 1849/50. John J. married Sarah Armstrong b. 1827 Londonderry. John and Sarah had 5 sons and 2 daughters. Each of those children had many children and grandchildren so that by the time of the 3rd millenium A.D. there is a couple of hundred people in Canada and the U.S descended from that family that settled in the Ottawa Valley.
I have been greatly helped in this "construction project" by a lot of work that as already done years ago by my cousin Laurabeth (Beth) Wright (Breeding) in North Carolina in the U.S. and my cousin John Dougherty Wright in Pembroke, Ontario. Beth and John (children of Hilda Irene Dougherty b. 1898) provided a lot of assistance, photos and advice in the beginning and although other family members have since come forward to help, John and Beth are two cousins to whom I am very grateful because if it were not for them, I could not have started this. I also want to thank Ruth Wilson, and Ordella Davidson for providing much detail about the Davidson line from Eva Dougherty.
I also want to thank my cousin Neil Dougherty in Alberta for his helpful encouragement and info about the line from John Job Dougherty b. 1859 and my cousin Barb Laureena Wright (Steuart) in Kelowna has a lot of info about the many Wrights in our line from Alice Isabel Dougherty, b. 1892. We also refer to Barb as our roving reporter for Regina too ;-)
.
In early May 2003 I bought the domain www.dougherty.ca and put these pages up {after having briefly hosted them on my own site www.witiger.com}. I emailed several members of the family about what would be the best domain name for the site and although there seemed to be some differences of opinion, most cousins said the best thing to do was "keep it simple". Dougherty.ca was free, so I bought it. With the ".ca" ending it implies perhaps that this site represents all doughertys in Canada, no, that is not true - but we are a very very large Dougherty clan, and we settled first in Canada, so it seemed "legit".
In 3rd week in August 2003 I went with my son Douglas, up to Arnprior to visit Jack Dougherty and his children. Jack's daughter, Laurie Dougherty was the Archivist for "Arnprior & District Archives" which means she was in a direct position to have access to original documents about land holdings, etc. which detail various things about the Doughertys in Westmeath in the late 1800's. As some of this info comes to light we will post it within this site. Laurie is very helpful in arranging many thing and I am sincerely appreciative of her kind hospitality.

.

Why Do this?
"Cuimhnich air na daoine o'n d'thainig thu"
~Remember the men from whom you are sprung ~

In October 2002 I survived a near-fatal motorcycle accident. (was on my 800 Suzuki going over to the college to give a lecture when I got hit by a women talking on her cell phone, she crossed her car into my lane and struck me head-on) I have since recovered, mostly, but there was a time when I wondered about whether I had done enough to prepare my 3 young children for things that lie ahead and one of the things I wanted them to know about was the colourful and rich family history they have on my Dougherty side (my mother) and my Richardson side (my father). After I became able to sit upright for longer periods, I decided to use my web design skills to build this site for sharing with my cousins, and building something to tell my children Douglas 17, Taylor 14 and Sarah 11. [I told Sarah the other day that there must be 10+ Sarah's among her Dougherty ancestors and living cousins]

The motto of the Ó Dochartaigh clan is "Ar nDuthchas" meaning "Our Heritage". My humble interpretation is that we should actively remember the men and women from whom we came, honour them, and tell the stories of their successes, and challenges.
Tell these stories to our children, and grandchildren ,so that they may have courage, hope and solace in the tumultuous world of the new millenium.
It is easier to know where you are going, when you know from where you have come.

.

We also have a lot of cousins that ended up settling in the United States so even though the site is "dougherty.ca" we will of course equally include, and represent, all our American relatives since, after all, we came from the same place in Ireland.

.

The starting point for this site was originally old Alexander James Dougherty b. 1852, (my great-grandfather) but as I received more info about his brothers and sisters, decided to add those lines in too. Then Beth sent some info allowing me to go back further beyond Alex's dad, John J. Dougherty b. 1825, to Alex's grandfather , James J. Dougherty, b. 1785, then Beth showed me a note suggesting that James J. had a brother named Patrick and that they had a father Patrick O'Dougherty b. 1750. I decided to stop at Patrick of 1750 because, as my cousin Neil Raymond Dougherty b. 1949 says, it is harder to establish anything beyond that. (Neil's grandfather Leslie Vincent Dougherty has indeed been to Buncrana in Inishowen in County Donegal). So we refer to this site as the descendants of Patrick O'Dougherty 1750 and to facilitate helpful communication with other O'Dochartaigh researchers we joined the O'Dochartaigh web ring.

The creator of this website, and the author of the pages herein is
W. Tim G. Richardson b. 1959
son of Rosemary Jane Dougherty b. 1930 d. 1989 This site was just begun May 4th 2003 so if there are errors, which I am sure there are, please email me tim"@"dougherty.ca and I will change them, or add in the info
Your patience is appreciated while I build the basic pages and links

.

Patrick O'Dougherty, b. 1750 Glenarm, Clooney, County Antrim, Ireland
- wife Teressa O'Donnell b. 1760 of the Baldreag O'Donnells

Patrick Dougherty, b. 1784 Glenarm, Clooney, County Antrim, Ireland died 1864 March 4th
- no recorded spouse for Patrick so maybe James J. b. 1785 was the only one with descendants

James J. Dougherty, b. 1785 Glenarm, Clooney, County Antrim, Ireland
- wife Beatrice McKevitt b. abt. 1796

Alexander Dougherty b. ? do not know if he is the older or younger brother of John J.

John J. Dougherty b. 1825 Oct 21, County Antrim, Ireland , d. 1862 in Ontario, Canada (have also seen records showing him born in 1824)
www.witiger.com/family/dougherty~James1825.htm
married Sarah Armstrong b. 1827 Londonderry, Ireland
immigrated to Canada in 1849 or 1850 - at the height of the potato famine in Ireland
John J. Dougherty and Sarah Armstrong had 7 children, each one of those children had 4, 5 or 6 children so the descendants are VERY numerous ;-)

.

Beth received some information from the O'Dochartaigh Clann headquarters and these notes, if accurate provide some more info on the father and grandfather of John J. Dougherty b. 1825
Apparently our ancestor Patrick spelled his last name O'Dougherty but his sons Patrick b. 1784 and James J. b. 1785 spelled their last name without the "O'"

These notes claim the ancestors of Patrick O'Dougherty "escaped from the Inishowen in 1608 when the O'Dochartaigh's were being persecuted by Chichester
Patrick B. 1750 - his wife was Teressa O'Donnell Baldreag - named such because they are "from a family famous for their fighting for the McDonnells. Her father was born in Desertegney in Inishowen. Baldreag was a nickname of this line of the O'Donnells

*** If John J. Dougherty b. 1825 died in 1862 it makes it difficult for him to have fathered Robinson Dougherty b. 1865. Cousin John Dougherty Wright (b. 1933) checked the headstones of John J. Dougherty and Robinson Dougherty at the cemetary in Beachburg in September 2003 and the dates on the stones are John J. died 1862 and Robinson b. 1865 - this is indeed a mystery !!

Not all the people who are descended from Patrick O'Dougherty have Dougherty as their last name, there were of course many daughters as well as sons, and those daughters' descendants would go by different last names. Here is an attempt at listing all the other 90 + last names of people who are also "Doughertys"

I didn't know the Dougherty name was so big in Canada and the U.S. until I found some Dougherty websites (like the one the the left). I like the look of the denim shirts, and ordered one. When it arrived I was surprised at the great quality, it was an excellent denim shirt, I liked it so much I ordered 2 more for my sons, and one of the things I liked was that they let you spell Dougherty any way you like so you could have it the original Ó Dochartaigh, or O'Dougherty or Dougherty - your choice.

They have a 1-800 number if you want to call them, its
~~1-800-485-4222~~, ask for Norma Riggs or email her at
~~clancrest@mindspring.com~~
They do a nice job of embroidering the Ó Dochartaigh crest on the clothes and it matches perfectly the clan crest on the heraldry you see in Buncrana

Dougherty b. 1825 Apparently our ancestor Patrick spelled his last name O'Dougherty but his sons Patrick b. 1784 and James J. b. 1785 spelled their last name without the "O'"

	These notes claim the ancestors of Patrick O'Dougherty "escaped from the Inishowen in 1608 when the O'Dochartaigh's were being persecuted by Chichester Patrick B. 1750 - his wife was Teressa O'Donnell Baldreag - named such because they are "from a family famous for their fighting for the McDonnells. Her father was born in Desertegney in Inishowen. Baldreag was a nickname of this line of the O'Donnells see http://www.iol.ie/~inishowen/
