Hugh Dougherty
Youngest son of Hugh & Susan (Sheridan) Doherty
He emigrated to USA, 1884 and joined his eldest brother James who was working on a Farm at Flushing, N.Y.
James advised him to change the spelling of his name to Dougherty, "Or you'll never get anywhere here".
Hugh married Mary Grant and lived at Flushing, but moved to NYC after their 3rd child was born. In 1900 he was a Fireman at the Gasworks.

In Ireland, Hugh Doherty attended Carradoan School and afterwards trained to be a Hand Weaver with the Ferry family at Meenasona, Oughterlin. The handwoven Linen tablecloth which he made from Flax grown on the home farm and which he gave as a wedding present to Emanuel Boyle and Bridget Morning, (parents of Margaret Boyle) still remains an heirloom in the Doherty family.

Some time before emigrating to the US, he assisted with John Edwards of Gortlough to hold down his uncle, Owen Sheridan (his mother's brother), while a Doctor performed an Appendectomy operation, (no Anaesthetics then) in Sheridan's kitchen. The Doctor sterilised the instruments by heating them in the open fire. Sadly, Owen Sheridan did not survive the operation and died.

The granite stone for the Chapel in Castletownbeare, Co. Cork was quarried in the Mourne's and the McCrickards went to Co.Cork and built the Church there which is a replica of the R.C. Chapel in Castlewellan. James McCrickard who became blind in the later part of his life died some years ago.
