Uriah Doughty and his voyage to Canada with his wife Alice & Joseph Preston

[DonM]

Tom

Uriah's farm was on the 1st concession aka Rainham Road east of the village of Nanticoke on the north side.  John Lindsay's farm was across the road to the south. 

Mitchell (he's still living) didn't arrive in Walpole until much, much later, their farm was north of Nanticoke on country road 55 between the 3rd and 4th concession.  It has long been sold and they moved to the 5th Concession.  His daughter is my immediate neighbor. 

Just north of Mitchells there were 2 Doughty farms one across the road from each other on County Road 55.  I suspect these are the ones they are referring to.  The farmhouse on the east side was taken down in the 1960's after it had been abandon for years.  When Uriah was around these farms were Henning on the west and Cullen on the east.

Google maps.  To the East of Jarvis at the lights go south on County Road 55  until the 4th concession.  Immediately south on the right is a Doughty and across the road where the trees are is where other farm was which was torn down.  Then go south past the 3rd and across the railway tracks, the farm on the right was Mitchell's. 

Is it possible they lived at the hotel in Balmoral when they arrived in the area was owned by a McDonald.  The only other McDonald was Abel and his brother who were on the 7th Concession north of Jarvis but I don't think they arrived in the area until after the Doughty's.

Hi Don
Referring to those maps was interesting to find a farm equipment supplier called Doughty & Williamson on Talbot SE just quite close to County 55 or Nanticoke Road.
Thanks for that newspaper article Sandra-makes me glad I have re-joined Rootschat again.

It's going to take quite a while to take it all in.

It turns out that 5 of these Doughty children came to USA & Canada, Charles Doughty apparently went to Wisconsin first of all and then ended up in Brooklyn.  When Charles Doughty died in March 1890, there was a Surrogate Notice published in the Brooklyn Eagle which states where Uriah's children were:
SURROGATE'S NOTICES

Well this will is very interesting to read, thanks very much. I remember how I many years ago when I first started researching Doughty Family History in USA I employed a researcher to go to the Arcihives in Brooklyn and obtain a the will of Charles Doughty. When all the time I too could have gone to family Search and looked at the will of Charles Doughty there.

Thanks

Fantastic, that is  Sandra, is this Jarvis Record a free newspaper to look up for other Doughty persons.

I love using using newspaper entries as you learn so much from them that you wouldn't be able to learn if you didn't know much about them.

I use it all the time in Britain

Glad to see that you have found my blog on the Doughty Family in Canada & USA. Yes it seems that Charles Doughty was a bit of a dwarf, as that article in the Brooklyn Eagle about him being accused of assaulting a lady-she called him a little devil.

I was very pleased to find his gravestone in Cypress Hills cemetery in Brooklyn last year whilst my wife & I were visiting our son who lives in Brooklyn. Sometime I want to visit the church that Charles did a lot of work for.
