Looking for Reuben Doughty in Pennsylvania
« on: Tuesday 05 February 19 17:23 GMT (UK) »
Hello Everyone
I am looking for this person I have him in the 1870 US Census for Elk, Jones Twsp, Pennsylvania
he is listed Doughty, Reuben age 23 W Laborer born England Father and Mother also foreign births.
I think he may be the same Reuben Doughty I have him in Ontario Records up till 1868 then he disappeared until I found this. I dont have access to the rest of the census records after 1870 so could someone kindly please check the rest of the census records for me or let me know where to look for further information.
Thank you Caseyjo

Philadelphia Inquirer, Aug 7 1900

SAVED FROM WATERY GRAVE
Millville N. J  Aug 6 - Jonathan Harris, a night watchman at R D Wood & Co's plant,  prevented Reuben Doughty, an aged resident of this city, from jumping into Union Canal last night. Doughty was about to make the leap when Harris grabbed him. Doughty was overcome by the heat recently.

Philadelphia Enquirer, 1902 ( the date line of the paper not filmed fully - possibly June?)
STATE NOTES - Williamsport; Reuben Doughty, who while asleep walked from a second storey window at Driftwood, died at the hospital here.

I think the Reuben Doughty who lived in Millville, New Jersey was a different one, as there is one in Millville for many years who was older and born in New Jersey.

Weird that there could be two guys with an unusual name who were both falling/jumping out of windows, but coincidences happen.

I would agree with you, when I was searching it always came up Rueben Doughty & wife Margaret
so the one in Millville isn't the one I am looking for. The other how ever fits into what I know but I cannot find him on anymore census records. I tried various spellings but probably need to broaden that search some more. Thank you again you have all been so helpful.
