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!
