Gov Burke's name has popped up a couple of times so thought I'd ask for info on his widow's 2nd husband. (Maj) George DOHERTY married Polly BURKE the Gov's widow, in Orange 23 Apr 1785. I have, for longer than I care to remember, tried to make a connection between George and my James DOHERTY who recieved a 1790 grant on Buck Water Creek. I believe, with 90% certainty, but can't prove, that my James was the son of Anthony DOHERTY Sr. Possible brothers of James would be Anthony Jr., George, and a Thomas DOHERTY who married Eunice (Unus) MOORE Oct 1802. James married Ester COHERN Apr 1790 in Orange. Anthony Jr. married Mary McCOOL Jul 1788 and fled to Canada with her family in 1794. Any additions, corrections, or hints will be appreciated.
