After my father, William, got settled on the main Richibucto River, his mother and youngest brother, Joseph, resided with him; so I don't think that the family, except Isaac and Jane, remained very long in Point de Bute.My grandfather's name was William, but he never came to America.
My grandmother's maiden name was Marjorie Fetters.You can see that the Doherty family, with the exception of Isaac and Jane, were not actually settlers or permanent residents of Point de Bute.Both Isaac and Jane (Mrs.Jones) are buried there.Perhaps the Irvin family can add other facts to what I have written.With kind remembrance to self and family, I remain.
Yours very truly,J.W.DOHERTY, M.D.HOWARD TRUEMAN, Esq.
