That is so interesting thank you. How can you tell? Is that local knowledge / allocated acreage / landlord?
I found the Irish Flax Growers List 1796 available online: https://www.failteromhat.com/flax/donegal.php
There are 3 Doghertys listed at Inch: James, George and John. 1796 would pre-date my current research and be a further generation back. It would be great if I could confirm a link.
For anyone looking at Dogherty / Doughertys in Donegal - there are plenty of others on there!
