From the time of his arrival in California until 1864 no evidence has been found to indicate that Doughty was part of the New Church in San Francisco or connected to it in any way. He was certainly not one of the original members who formed the church in 1852 and there is no mention of him in any document found in San Francisco through 1863. In the Journal of the 45th General Convention held in New York from June 8 – 12, 1864 he does appear for the first time as a “receiver” and is from Suisun, California. Mr. J. H. Purkitt was listed as representing the San Francisco Society. Doughty is also listed as a receiver in the 46th General Convention held in Chicago from June 14 – 18, 1865. It is very possible that over the time he was in Suisun that he did in fact attend services in San Francisco occasionally. The ferry service was quite good from Suisun City to San Francisco in the mid-1800s however given the time and distance it was unlikely that he traveled there very often. Before continuing with the life of John Doughty we must first examine two crucial years in the history of the New Jerusalem Church in San Francisco.
