Andrew Jackson Dougherty

According to Bonnie Crane Moore, who corresponded with one of our relatives, Andrew Jackson Dougherty's 2nd marriage was to Nancy Baldwin Wilcox (this was Nancy's 3rd marriage).
On their marriage certificate, Andrew Jackson Dougherty's parents are Thomas Dougherty and Jane Kincade.
Her letter also tells us that a number of census records of Andrew Jackson Dougherty have errors, especially the 1870 Census.
When researching Anderw Jackson Dougherty, we should refer to Bonnie's letter for starting points.
