maiden name was Marjorie Fetters。 You can see that the Doherty family； with the exception of Isaac and Jane； were not actually settlers or permanent residents of Point de Bute。 Both Isaac and Jane （Mrs。 Jones） are buried there。 Perhaps the Irvin family can add other facts to what I have written。 With kind remembrance to self and family； I remain。

J。 W。 DOHERTY； M。D。
