      Note: An article in the "Ohio Repository" ( this is in Canton, Stark County) for Friday Aug 9, 1833 states the following: ( is this our James Dougherty?
      "Suicide.- On Saturday morning last, the body of Mr. James Dougherty, of Osnaburgh township, Stark county, was found suspended by a rope in the upper story of his house. He was an intemperate man, had the evening before returned home intoxicated, and quarreled with his family."

      This information came from a supreme court case (can be found in the Stark County Library.It concerned a court case and land dispute.The father, James, was to have cleard land for this man and he would be given I think five acres, but after he did it, he never got possession of the land.The man said he was a drunk.His death is recorded in the Stark County paper.I think I recall that he was a hard drinking man.His children went to court and they did get the land.I guess they then moved to Huntington Indiana.From there on to Michigan.My Doughertys were in Stark County at the same time, and then went to the same area of Indiana, and then on to Kansas.I thought they were related, but did DNA and found there was no relationship. Maybe way back when.
      possibility?

      Could the following be our James Dougherty? I don't think so.
