Neil Joseph was b 1862 to Philip Docherty and Rose Mary Demmcey (Dempsey) in Ireland.  He died in Scranton Pennsylvania on April 26, 1946.  On the 1881 census Neil is living at 27 Hopeton St. Inverkip Renfrew Scotland.  It is believed he came to the USA in 1881 or 1882, however, this has not been verified.
Philip Docherty b 1836 married Rose Mary Demmcey (Dempsey) b 1837 d November 27, 1912.  They were married on June 17, 1861 in Coleraine, Derry Ireland.
