Cyndi, I'd like to revisit your Dougherty information. I just realized that a branch of our McCartan family ended up in the same town as your Dougherty family. I don't know of any of our Dougherty's who went there, but we are looking at a joint migration of Dougherty, Savage, McCartan from County Down to Iowa. I also just made contact with a researcher who is from the Dougherty, Iowa families. Our Dougherty's are supposedly connected to them, too. Diane Hettrick [email protected]

Diane, I read this message with interest <grin>. Although I had mentioned one time to Cyndi that I had a DOUGHERTY ancestor I did not pursue it then. Being in Iowa is what brought it to mind. My maternal grandfather James William WILCOX was born to the union of George Benjamin WILCOX & Rebecca Jane "Jennie" DOUGHERTY and in Sidney Township, Fremont County, Iowa 16 December 1883. By the summer of 1884 they were in Washington Territory. Now George Benjamin & Jennie were married in Illinois and their first child Minnie was born there, they were in Iowa for the birth of my grandfather. Their remaining children were born in Washington Territory and Washington state. Do we have any connection? Antoinette (Tacoma, Washington) [email protected] "Diane K.
