This won't answer your question, but may provoke some leads.My Gillen ancestors came to Philadelphia from Donegal Ireland via Londonderry between 1814-1816.My GGGGreat Grandfather George Gillin eventually setttled in New Brunswick, New Jersey as part of the first Catholic congregation in New Brunswick. (They couldn't even buy land for a church because of anti catholic sentiment).George Gillin's son George W. Gillen married a Rosanna Dougherty in @1852.There were other Dougherty families in New Brunswick during the early 1800s. Perhaps your clan is related to mine. I'm still hunting for ship passenger lists.
