Edward P. Doherty

[Laurie Verge]

Rob Wick should have some information on Doherty, even though his specialty is Conger. 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.
