   Thomas Dougherty was granted land on Moreman's River, adjoining Major Henry, in 1743, but since patents generally were issued years after land had been entered and occupied, it is reasonable to suppose that Thomas was in Albermarle County about 1738. Dougherty's first land patent on Turnip Creek, adjoining, Cub Creek, is dated November 12, 1753, but other records indicate he was there much earlier, as was Caldwell and his other kin. Perhaps a relative, (Hugh Dougherty believed to be a brother to Michael Mor Dougherty-I) was granted land in Albermarle on August 5, 1737; after the death of his son Michael in 1766, Hugh moved to Bedford County, Virginia.
   
   Among the immigrants were several other members of Michael Mor's family, notably at least three of his brothers: a Hugh Dougherty (referenced above), a Cornelius Dougherty and a Thomas Dougherty (also referenced above). No mention is made of any daughters of Michael and Catherine, but there very well could have been, as in the early to late 1700's it was customary to have large extended families.
   
   Additionally, throughout the Dougherty/Daugherty family tree there are other family members that came from at the same time as Michael and his wife Catherine: notably three of Michael's brothers, Hugh Dougherty and his unknown wife, Cornelius Dougherty and his unknown spouse and Thomas Dougherty, Sr. and his wife Ann nee Phillips Dougherty. Additionally, further research into the fore bearers of Michael Mor Dougherty-I in Ireland could probably lead to the fact that he was related to Sean (John) O'Dochartaigh (brother of Sir Cahir O'Dochartaigh who was killed by the British in 1608 and all his lands in Lagan Valley, was divided among the British at Londonderry at the time).
