I am most interested in Sarah Thompson born ca late 1750's to early 1760's who married Michael Dougherty in are around Reed Creek area of Montgomery and later Wythe County, Virginia. Sarah married again after Michael died in 1787 to Patrick McManus. (will bk B pg 129). Will bk 1 1786-1809: Patrick Mcmanus husband of Sarah Ann formerly wife of Michael Doughertydec'd of county of Clark og Ky, appointed Joseph and Gordon Clay of Montgomery Co, Va the lawful attorney to transact business relating to any offences in estate of James Patton dec'd and William Thompson. Signed by Patrick McManus 19 Oct 1797. Witness: David Cloyd, Noah Mallett and Jonas Powers. Recorded May 1798 Charles Taylor cmc. There is a mention in Indiana his name was Thomas. All my documents say Patrick McManus. Any way they were in Clark Co, Ky in 1803, and by 1810 in Barren Co, Ky. In 1815 they may have been in Laurence Co, Ind. Their daughter Mary (McManus) married Joseph Glover and not sure where they married.

The following is what I have for the children of Michael and Sarah Dougherty: You may have to fill in the blanks and make corrections: 1. Robert 1778, wrote will 20 June 1822 Barren Co, Ky. In Barren County 18 and 1820. Robert md Nancy Williams. They had the following children: Mary, Robert, James, Elizabeth Gassaway, Sarah Bybee, Nancy, Henry md Mary Nevill in 1830.
