Lewiston Evening Journal (Lewiston, Maine), Saturday, January 7, 1899, Page 32.
Excerpt of an article in the Lewiston, Maine, Evening Journal, posted under the banner: "On Maines Historic Ground" discussing Maine's older cemeteries. The "old" cemetery at New Meadows, with its Graves of Leading Pioneers of Brunswick, is currently [2022] known in the Find a Grave Website as the Gatchell Cemetery. There is a "newer" cemetery adjacent to this "old" cemetery known in Find a Grave as the New Meadows Cemetery. There are many graves in this old yard, referring to the Gatchell Cemetery, marked with ordinary field stones. Among the unmarked graves in this yard is one of Molly Doughty who died very aged, about 1836. She was sort of a hermit, living with her brother, William Doughty, before his death. Their home was at the site of the original Douty homestead; "Molly's Rock" is still pointed out. She rarely came in contact with her neighbors. In her girlhood, while reclusive in her conduct, Molly was of service to the people in giving warnings of the approach of British vessels in the times of the Revolution. She was born in troublesome times, and there, may be a cause for her reclusiveness in the dangers and hazardous exploits of the savage foe.
There's no evidence Molly Doughty married or had children.
