    1. [PACENTRE] KELLY surname, Centre Co.
    2. Listers: According to the following: <<Area History: History of Axemann, Centre Co, PA Contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Rich Hughes. rbhughes@norfolk.infi.net snip----> While the Williams men were making woolen cloth, and Gen. Benner was operating his sawmill, another industry sprang up on the hillside above the spring. It was reached by a road leading up the "Hollow" and employed men in digging ore. Most of these men were Irish. They settled their families along the road for convenience and so the little ravine was called Irish Hollow. There were found the names of Noon, Kane, Daugherty, Morrison, Mallory, Frost, Clotty, Welch, KELLY and Fitzpatrick. Out of all these families only one was Protestant. All the others were Catholic and walked to Bellefonte every Sunday to mass.>> a KELLY surname mentioned. Anyone researching a KELLY line from Centre Co., PA? Or know anything about the KELLY in the above? Thank you for your time. Marybeth Corrigall ACMBJC@aol.com

    3. Hi list, We have a Catherine DOUGHERTY, b. abt 1800 whose surname was obtained from her daughter's death certificate. Catherine DOUGHERTY married Philip HILE/HYLE, b. abt 1797 in Berks Co., PA. According to a Willard L. Shank of Lewistown, Mifflin Co., PA, Philip and Catherine (DOUGHERTY) HILE are buried in Old Salem Lutheran Cemetery, Near Siglerville, Armagh Twp., Mifflin Co., PA in unmarked graves. We have quite a bit of information/data on the children of Philip and Catherine (DOUGHERTY) HILE/HYLE. Two of their daughters, Elizabeth and Evangeline married WIAN brothers. Specifically, Elizabeth HILE m. Peter WIAN on 5 May 1855 Kish Valley, Mifflin Co., PA and Evangeline HILE m. John WIAN abt. 1851 in Huntingdon Co., PA. The WIAN brothers both being sons of Solomon WIAN (1803 - 1879) and Catherine REARICK (1810 - 1891). Willing to share data on what we have and would like to learn more about how Catherine DOUGHERTY might tie into the Abel DOUGHERTY family. All the other DOUGHERTY's might be brother's or cousins, but too young to be her father.

    3. Wow, Jean! You answered this query before the original question was posted (for me anyway)!!! Just a note of clarification, I have seen the original entry for the baptism of a child of Margaret Condo and her husband John, and it definitely says BRUNGART, not BRILLHART. The originals were incorrectly transcribed, and the error was picked up and published in "The CONDO FAMILY. A History and Genealogy from 1737 to 1913 by Rev. A. Bryon CONDO." Just wanted to set the record straight. Thanks!

    3. Hi! First of all, thanks for all the information on all the lines we posted. Secondly, We came across the following which may be of interest. Somehow, we suspect this individual is connected: Dougherty, John or Doherty R.2999 * * * * * State of Ohio County of Franklin &c. Before me Notary Public in and for the County and State aforesaid personally appeared Rebecca Chambers only living child of Captain John Doherty deceased, who being duly sworn according to law deposed as follows to wit, That her Father Captain John Doherty died on or about the 13th day of May A.D. 1833 at the County of Lycoming in the State of Pennsylvania, and in Lycoming Township of the same County, that the wife of the said Captain John Doherty died near Salem Warren County Ohio on the 22nd day of August A.D. 1840 of this she is certain from the fact that her said Mother died during the Presidential excitement preceeding the election of William H. Harrison to the Presidency of the United States. Rebecca (her mark) Chambers Sworn and Subscribed this 30th day of November A.D. 1850 and I hereby certify that I believe the said affidavit to be worthy of all credit as Witness my hand and Seal Natorial. William B. Jarvis Notary Public In and for said County * * * * * State of Ohio County of Franklin Before me the Subscriber a Justice of the Peace in and for said county and State, personally appeared Thomas B. Welsh and Deborah Welsh two credible and respectable wittnesses who upon oath say that Rebecca Chambers is the only surviving child of the late John Dougherty who is now supposed to be dead. Said John Dougherty is believed to have been a Captain in Company (B) Regiment of light Infantry engaged in the service of the United States in the Revolutionary war, and to have died in the year A.D. 1833 leaving a widow who died in the year A.D. 1839 leaving no Father Mother Brothers Sisters or Children except the said Rebecca Chambers living and she is the only surviving heir at law of said John Dougherty who are now living.

Welsh Deborah (her mark) Welsh Wittnesses Signatures * * * * * State of Ohio County of Franklin On this 22nd day of June A.D. 1850 before me a Justice of the Peace personally came Thomas B.

If not were and when did he die, and what evidence have you of his death and why do you believe he is dead? State fully? He is dead. He died on the west branch of the Susquahana river Northumberland County Pensylvania - that he is dead we are fully satisfied from the general understanding and reputation in the neighborhood where he lived and from letters received from our friends to that effect. He died in the year A.D. 1833. What became of his discharge or description certificate? We cannot tell, do not remember having ever seen it. . . . .Were you acquainted with his parents or either of them?

We verily believe they are all dead. . . . .How do you know or what reasons have you for believing they are all dead? This is the common reputation in the country and we thus believe from letters in our possession from our friends stating such to be the fact. . . . .At the time he the soldier died, had he ever been married? He was married at the close of the Revolutionary war. . . . .What was the name of his wife before marriage, and when and where and by whom was he married? He was married to Deborah Boons in Northumberland County Pennsylvania by J Rennington Justice of the Peace of the same county and state. What reason have you for believing he was married?

If so how many and what are there names and ages? One only now lives her name is Rebecca Chambers by marriage, her age is seventy two years. . . . .Is his widow now living, if dead how do you know of her death, when did she die?

October 30, 1928 Mrs. W.J. Lundy, R.R. 2, Box 52, Johnson City, New York Madam: I advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim R. 2999, it appears that John Dougherty, early in the Revolution resided with his mother, her name not given (his father being dead, his name not stated) in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, and entered the service at the age of twenty-two years and served as captain in a Light Infantry Regiment; and was on recruiting duty in 1778, length of service not shown. He married (date not stated) in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, Deborah Boon. He died May 5, 1833 in Lycoming Township, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. She died August 22, 1840 near Salem, Warren County, Ohio. In 1850, Rebecca Chambers, a resident of Franklin County, Ohio, aged seventy-two years, stated that she was their only surviving child and applied for pension on account of her father's services. The claim was not allowed as there was not proof of the service, as required by the pension law. It is further stated that John Dougherty has five brothers, James, Samuel, William, Abel and Robert; and three married sisters, Masser Huton, Margaret Hammon and Jane McGrady. Respectfully, E.W. Morgan Acting Commissioner The above is one of the few references we have found to an Abel DOUGHERTY. We also found, but have not proven, a son for our Abel named Robert (09 September 1797-26 July 1875) who married Charlotte LOGAN. Robert had children named: John, Rebecca, Henry, Abel, Charlotte (married George Daniel HESS, son of Benjamin and Mary (Kiefer) HESS), William, Anson and twins Albert & George. Our Abel is in the following Census 1810 Howard, Centre Co.,Pennsylvania Page 168 1820 Howard, Centre Co.,Pennsylvania Page 216 After this we lose track of him. Robert and some of his descendents ended up in Clearfield County. The hunt continues........... Thanks again!
