I would like to add this information on the O'Dochartaigh Ring and also share with anyone that may be looking for the same family connectons.
GGGrandfather:
Benjamin Dougherty b. 1796, County Down, Providence Ulster (townland or parish not known at this time) d. 18 Nov. 1882, Anglican Cemetery, Lower Woodstock, New Brunswick, Canada (Today named “Parish of Woodstock” Christ Church. Parish Rectory Anglican Church`), arrived Canada 1839 with 5 children and 4 more were born in Canada. Benjamin’s tombstone (which is broken) in the Anglican Cemetery in Lower Woodstock, NB gives his name as Dougherty but the burial record from the church records reads “#126 Dogherty, Benjamin of Richmond (buried) d. 21 Nov 1882 86 years”. Benjamin’s stone has another name listed on it and we believe it is Hugh. We will have to contact the church to confirm this. Sarah’s stone “In Memory of Sarah wife of Benjamin Dougherty died June 20, 1875 aged 69 years”. Benjamin m. Sarah Anne Anderson 21 April 1824 at Drumglass Church, Dungannon, Co. Tyrone, Ireland More commonly called “St. Anne’s Church. In 2005 I visited this church site but the old church had been torn down and a new one erected in its place. I have pictures of the new church. (I have a copy of the Marriage License Bond LDS film 100859, Diocese of Armagh in my file)..

In theTithe Applotment 1823 - 38 there is a Benjamin Dougherty entered as living in Mulinaloghog townland, Clonoe parish Tyrone. Clonoe is fairly close to Drumglass parish. Also a Joseph Dougherty in the same place. I have a family tree on a Joseph Doherty b. 1794 in Ireland and all his descendents. At this time I am not sure if he is a brother to Benjamin or if he is Joseph A. as listed in the history of Glassville located below.

Some family history
Excerpt taken from” History of Glassville” compiled by Pioneer Senior Citizens Club.
Dougherty
Patrick Dougherty was granted two lots of land fronting on the West side of the Meduxnekeag River, in 1829, in the Parish of Richmond. George Dougherty was granted a lot in the Parish of Woodstock, in 1831. Isaac Dougherty was granted a lot of land in the Parish of Richmond, just over the Parish line from the George Dougherty lot, in 1861. Joseph A. Dougherty was granted a lot in the Parish of Woodstock, about two miles south from the George and Isaac Dougherty lots, in 1862. Just how these four men were related cannot be determined. The census of 1851, lists Isaac Dougherty and his wife, Catherine, and nine children. The parents were born in Ireland, but the children were born in New Brunswick. Both of the parents arrived in New Brunswick in 1822 (Confirmed in the 1851 N.B. census). The oldest child was born in 1832, suggesting that the parents married about 1830, in New Brunswick. Isaac Dougherty was probably a son of either Patrick Dougherty or George Dougherty, who may also have arrived in New Brunswick in 1822, since their grants were issued in 1829 and 1831.

Taken from the 1851 N.B. Census (Isaac could be a brother to Benjamin, must look further to determine)
Benjamine born 1839, Jane 1839, John, 1839, Joseph born 1830 and Sarah born 1839 she is 56 at that time. all were Angeligans and went to Richmond New Brunswick. This was in the 1861 index Catherine McGinchey, b. 1811 Ireland, married 1828, Wakefield, New Brunswick, Canada to Isaac Doherty/Dochery/Daugherty. 1851 census of Carleton Co. N.B., states that Isaac came to Canada in 1822. Was Catherine already here with her family? She may have been born in County Down, Ireland where her husband was born? Isaac and Catherine lived in Woodstock, Carleton Co. N.B., having had many children.
Benjamin Dougherty, his wife Sarah, and five children, arrived in New Brunswick, in 1839. Four more children were born in New Brunswick. The new arrivals appear to have been related to the earlier settlers. By 1875, Benjamin Dougherty was still living in the parish of Woodstock, not far from Mrs. Catherine McGinchey Dougherty who was now a widow, wife of Isaac. Five sons of Benjamin Dougherty had taken up lots in West Glassville, as did one of the sons of Isaac and Catherine Dougherty. All in all, ten lots, each containing one hundred acres, were granted to members of the Dougherty Family. Isaac Dougherty and Joseph Dougherty, two brothers who had married sisters before leaving the Parish of Richmond, arrived in West Glassville about 1865 or earlier (NOTE: several places in the Glassville Settlement book mentioned the Dougherty family came to Glassville from the Parish of Richmond). It would appear that there were no vacant lots South of the Shiktehawk Stream, when the Dougherty brothers decided to join the new settlement. Isaac Dougherty settled first on lot #31(this lot was most likely in West Glassville). He brought his wife and two small children with him. His brothers, Hugh and Thomas had lots on either side of the Isaac lot. No doubt the first log cabin sheltered the extended family. Thomas is listed as a lumberman in the 1871 census, and may have been away in the logging camps for much of the time. Thomas, found a wife after arriving in West Glassville. He was still living in West Glassville, in 1881, now with a 67 wife, Jane, and children. Hugh A. Dougherty did not remain long in West Glassville.

Glassville (Carleton Co.): A Retrospective History of Its Rise and Progress by Marchmont - The Glassville colony was originally planted by the late Rev. C.G. GLASS in the years 1860 and 1861. The first settlers were from Scotland, St. John's. King's, Queens', York and Carleton counties, N.B. and from Halifax, N.S. Not of few of those who first took up land here, soon became dissatisfied, sold out and left for the U.S. &c. Those who originally came out from Scotland under Mr. Glass, and those who moved in here to join the Colony from other quarters in the earlier years of the decade who remained on their farms and whose representative family members are still with us were:

JOHN HOME.
Another brother, John, also obtained a lot nearby. He returned to the Parish of Richmond, having sold his lot to George Reeleder.
Isaac Dougherty remained in Glassville for the remainder of his life. William Isaac Dougherty and Hannah Marie Segee (our great grandparents, see below) raised a large family. Three of their sons, Benjamin, Richard and Rastus, my grandfather, (Rastus is Erastus as in the 1871 Census Aberdeen, Carleton Co. N.B., in 1881 Erastus was listed as James, his whole name was Erastus James Dougherty, Doherty comes later, and in the 1891 Census he dropped the E and became Rastus), remained in the area. All three sons married sisters, Brooker girls from Fielding. Rastus (Erastus) may have been named for Augustus Dougherty, a brother of Isaac, who was also granted a lot in the West Glassville Settlement. Augustus Dougherty did not remain long in West Glassville, after receiving the grant to his lot. Isaac Dougherty's son, Benjamin, nick-named "Black Ben", remained in West Glassville, all his life. His descendants, are still living in West Glassville and nearby Gordonsville, and from time to time, the jet black hair, which gave rise to the "Black Ben" nick-name, appears. Joseph Dougherty, a brother of Isaac, arrived in West Glassville about the same time as did Isaac and Hannah. Joseph and Lucy chose a lot a mile or so away from Isaac’s homestead. Their son, Thomas W. was, in due course, granted a lot next to that of his parents. Joseph and Lucy also raised a large family. They also had a son named Benjamin. This Ben was not blessed with the Jet-black hair, so he was always referred to as 'White Ben". Thomas and Benjamin farmed all of their lives in West Glassville. Thomas W. Dougherty had one son, Hugh, who also farmed in West Glassville and left his farm to his son, Frank, who also farmed in West Glassville. Thomas W. Dougherty and his wife, Grace had three daughters. Two of the daughters, Josephine and Aurilla, married and lived in Glassville. Josephine married John Black and raised a large family, as did Aurilia who married Frederick Elliot. The Black and Elliot Families will be dealt with in greater detail elsewhere. The sons of White Ben Dougherty were not farmers. Two of them, Albert and Edward, worked as millwrights and saw filers, at Juniper. The third son, George, became a jeweler and watch maker. In the days when horses supplied the power on the farms and in the woods, the Dougherty men, from West Glassville, always had good horses and were willing to work them. When produce from farm and wood lot was hauled to market, often in winter, the Dougherty teams were among the best and well handled. One of the few viable farms continuing in production in West Glassville is operated by the father and son team of Cecil and Allan Doherty, as the name is now spelled. The farmland was 99, I to members of the Dougherty Family over a century ago.

NOTE: The following is from the memory of various people who new my GGgrandfather.
In this part of the family history William Isaac is called Isaac Ian Doherty. He came from the “Protestant side of Ireland” as his Grandson Claude use to tell it. He may have come from Donegal about 1840 or 1850. He lived in Glassville and Married Hanna Segee. Isaac and Hanna had a least three boys: Erastus, Benjamin aka Benny and Richard.

Orland C. b. Jan 13, 1910 d. 1989 buried in Bells Church Cemetery Uncle Claude lived with common law wife Beatrice Davenport Boyd (Bea) from Hartland. Bea had a son Wendell but she and Uncle Orland never had children. We think the reason they never married was that Bea received some kind of pension from her deceased husband and if she married the pension would stop (this information was provided by Geraldine Brooker Doherty , my Cousin,and needs to be expanded and confirmed.)
Kathleen, was the daughter of Erastus and Kate his second wife ( Kathleen Married a Curtis of Mars Hill Maine).
Alice died at age 17 from TB and lived in a tent in front of the home until her passing. She is listed on the tomb stone with Erastus and Janette but she is believed to be buried in the Gordonsville Cemetery, but no marker has been found at this time.
After my grandmother died in 1920 my grandfather married Kate Brooker, Kate or Catie had possibly 6 children from her previous marriage to Hamfore Good, a divorce, was 38 her parents were listed as James Brooker and Kate Davenport and she was born in Fielding. They were married 21 Dec 1920. Kate (Kathleen) was born 26 April 1885 and died 13 November 1950 and is buried in the Baptist Cemetery in Andover, Victoria County, According to her death certificate. Several of the Doherty boys married the Brooker girls as stated in a news paper article. Albert and Henry left home around 1921 but for a time they lived with Minnie Bell, Fulton and her husband George, Minnie was a sister to Janette, their mother.
B-7-3 Lucy Anne Segee and Joseph Doherty
Lucy Anne Segee, the daughter of Thomas and Margaret McGlinchey Segee, was born February 19,1832. She was baptized into the Anglican church in Fredericton on April 12,1846. On May 14,1853 Rev. William Q. Ketchum united in marriage Lucy and Joseph Doherty at St. Anne's Chapel, Fredericton. Both are given as being of Fredericton, although Joseph was referred to as "American" in the 1851 Census of Sunbry County, NB. Witnesses to the marriage were John Dougherty and Sophia Amanda Thomas.
Joseph Doherty was born in Ireland September 12,1834 and came to New Brunswick in 1846. This couple was not enumerated in the 1861 census of Fredericton. They seemed to have settled in Glassville, NB in the mid-1860's. The Glassville colony was originally planted by the late Rev. C.G. GLASS in the years 1860 and 1861. The first settlers were from Scotland, St.
John's. King's, Queens', York and Carleton counties, N.B. and from Halifax, N.S. including Isaac Doherty, Thomas Doherty and Joseph Doherty with wives and families from Richmond, NB. By 1876 Joseph and Lucy were living in Victoria County, NB. where Joseph was a farmer. By 1881 Joseph was a farmer in Aberdeen Parish, Carleton County, NB. The family were associated with the Presbyterian religion. In 1901 Joseph, Lucy, Elizabeth, Benjamin and Rachael were living in a four room wooden house in West Glassville, Carleton County, NB. Joseph owned and operated a 300 acre farm and had two barns. Benjamin was a farmer as well. Joseph died in 1916 and was buried in the Glassville United Church Cemetery in Glassville, Carleton County, NB.
Lucy and Joseph had eight children:
B-7-3-1 THOMAS W. DOHERTY b. June 20,1857. m. Grace A. Lindsay b. May 11,1860. Grace was born in 1861. Thomas received a grant of land not far from his parent's farm and by 1891 Thomas was a farmer in Aberdeen Parish, Carleton County, NB. He and his children were Presbyterian while his wife was Free Baptist. By 1901 Thomas was a general labourer who had earned $360 in the previous twelve months. He leased a 100 acre farm in West Glassville, Aberdeen Parish, Carleton County, NB. Thomas died in 1928 and was buried in the Glassville United Church Cemetery. Grace died in 1961 and was buried beside her husband.
