Six young people named DOUGHTERY/DAUGHERTY/DOHERTY emigrated from Roscommon, Ireland to the United States sometime before 1865. We believe they probably settled in Missouri first and then moved to Johnson and Miami Counties in Kansas. They may have been the children of Thomas Doughtery, but we are not sure of that. Their names were: 1) Edward, born about 1818/1825 in Ireland, he married there before 1849 to Katherine (surname unknown). Katherine was born about 1825. Their children born in Ireland were: Patrick, Edward, John, Mary and Ann born about 1860. Sarah was born about 1866 in Kansas. This family must have emigrated between 1860-1866. 2) Martin, born about 1820/1825 in Ireland, he married 24 August 1867 to Ellen KELLY, born about 1822 in Ireland. 3) Thomas, born about 1827/1833 in Ireland, he married 1st on 15 Dec 1863 to Mrs. Elizabeth (?) PASCAL born about 1840 in Ireland. He married 2nd (date & place unknown) to Alice F. (surname unknown). Anna and Thomas were in Johnson County, Kansas for the 1860 census. 4) Anna, born about 1830/1833 in Ireland, she married 30 October 1864 in Jackson Co, Missouri to William Jacob SCHWARTZ. They traveled all the way to Independence, Missouri for their marriage because of the lack of a Catholic priest in their neighborhood. William later instigated and helped build the Holy Rosary Church in Wea, Miami Co, Kansas and brought a priest to live there. He traveled to Germany and brought back his parents and siblings. I believe that he may have brought back some of Anna's siblings, also. 5) Michael, born 1830/1840 in Ireland, he married 3 August 1866 to Hannah Marilla Holdren. 6) John, born 1835 in Ireland, he never married. Can anyone help us with this family? Lorene Fort Email: fort@paola-online.net
