The Daugherty Family

---

• Archibald Dougherty, b. 1815, Ireland
  wife: Margaret, b. 1824, Pennsylvania
  Archibald is likely to have immigrated in the late 1840's.
  He is in the 1850 and 1860 census with Margaret and the children.
  Archibald enlisted in the 9th Pennsylvania Reserves, Company C, April 1861, discharged on surgeon's certificate Jan 23, 1862
  Corporal in 212th Regiment, 6th Artillery, Battery B September 4,1864, mustered out with battery June 13, 1865
  By 1870 Margaret is in Pennsylvania with the children and Archibald is in West Virginia working on the railroad. That's the last record I find of Margaret
  
  • Robert Dougherty, b. 1845, Virginia
  • William John Dougherty, b. 1849, Pennsylvania
  • Archibald Dougherty, b. May 1848, Virginia
    m. Marg Ann Dufriend, Dec 23, 1866, b. 1848, Indiana
    m. Mary Ellen Kennedy, b. July 1854, Virginia
    Are there really 2 wives? I found the marraige record for Archibald and Marg Ann but in 1870 he is living with his mother. James Michael, born 1884, shows Mary Ellen Kennedy as his mother on his SS application. But on James Michael's death certificate his younger brother, Laurence, doesn't know who James Michael's mother is.
    I found Archibald in the 1850, 1860 and 1870 census. His occupation in 1870 was 'works on river boat - runs river'
    In 1900 he and Ellen are in Indiana with 6 children. They report that they have 7 living children at the time. I don't know who the other child is.
    That's the last record I find of either Archibald or Ellen.
