However, the Surratt Courier carried articles on Doherty back in 1989, when the Swann galleries in New York held an auction that included assassination materials from the Edward Doherty Archive.

He was born September 26, 1840, at Wickham, Canada East to Joseph and Margaret Doherty, Irish immigrants. He attended school in Montreal and graduated from St. Hyacinth College in 1857. He then began to study law with a Canadian firm before moving to Boston in 1859.

I can send copies of the articles to your friends if they would like. Just let me know an address.

Laurie, I'm sending you a message (at both your usernames actually) to find out more about those articles you mentioned.

And if anyone knows of any other articles or what not with info on Doherty's life, I'd be of course interested.

Got your message and will happily check for those articles from yesteryear in the newsletter of the Surratt Society. More later.
