Lincoln connection












John Danher had 2 wives, 1st one Sara Ann Doherty died in Quebec in a Train accident in 1880's pictured here below, 1st photo... then John Danher married my great grandma Mary Anne Considine in Quebec, 2nd Photo, and moved to Toronto,,,,, meanwhile just discovered that a relative of Sara Ann Doherty of Quebec, Captain Edward Paul Doherty was enlisted in 16th Calvary of the Union Army USA, 4th Photo, who eventually shot and killed Linclon's, 3rd Photo, assassin John Wilkes Booth 7th Photo, who was chased by another Canadian in the 16th Calvary Union Army too by William Jeremiah Keays 6th Photo, the 8th photo is the speech that Keays wrote to Doherty on the capture of Booth in 1865. This was very interesting on the Show called Ancestors in the Attic... that speech was given to a Niagara Falls Canada man Rod MacDonald the gr8gr8 nephew of W.J.keays by a woman in Washington who's family retained the original for 5 generations from her ancestor Schneider I believe...who also happened to be in the same calvary.
