The above picture is of William Henry Daugherty.
I'd like to spend another day, at least, with information that Ellen has given me. GGGrandfather, William Henry Daugherty's sister, Martha E., b., 1844, lived with her sister and family, Harriet and Joseph Hayworth, in White Cloud Township, Nodaway County, Missouri. This county is located in the northwest corner of Missouri, just south of Iowa. " Thurs., Nov. 28, 1907...Miss Martha Daugherty died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Joseph Hayworth, norhwest of Parnell Saturday morning and was buried Sunday Afternoon in the Parnell Cemetery. She had resided with her sister for 15 years and was about 63 years old. Very few of the neighbors knew there was such a lady in the township for she was seldom seen when anyone visited the family. Buried in far south section of the three cemeteries in Row 10." My mind wanders...what was Martha's life like? A trip to Nodaway County, Missouri might be interesting.
Margaret was William Henry's oldest sister. She was about 20 years old when she died, probably from childbirth. Her baby, James, was living with his Uncle and Aunt, James and Louisa Jane Logan, in White Cloud Township, Nodaway County, Missouri according to the 1889 Census.
This may be review for many of you....Our William Henry Daugherty was born Feb. 23, 1830 in Nicklesville, Scott County Virginia and died Jan. 12, 1918 in Glen Elder, Mitchell County, Kansas. He married Martha Pepper, Feb. 19, 1861 in Delavan, Illinois, daughter of John Pepper and Rebecca Gooden. Martha was born Jan. 3, 1838 in Chillicothe, Ross County, Ohio, and died Jan. 18, 1924 in Wessington, SD. Chillicothe is located about in the middle of the state, south of Columbus.
William H. Daugherty bought land in Appanoose County Iowa, (1856) as being Section 28, Township 70, Range 16, NW SW and SW and NW. He purchased it from William Daugherty. William H. Daugherty sold land in Appanoose County to Joseph Eaton in 1867. In 1869 He sold more property to Josph Eaton. In 1870, in Iowa, he sold property to WW. Lawlber: W2NW Section 37, Township 70, Range 19, 80 acres. William Henry sold properto to Peter Good in that same vacinity and also to AD Wilkinson.
They were definitely moving...on to Illinois. In the 1870 Federal Census in Allen Grove township, Mason County, Illinois (North of Springfield). It lists the following: William Dougherty, 39, farmer, personal value of $800, born in Virginia, Martha 32, keeps house, born in Ohio, William, 8, born in Illinois, Hattie, 6, born in Illinois, George, 5, (ggrandpa) born in Illinois, Edward, 1, born in Illinois. I had thought, with Ellen's info, that the family may have moved to Illinois about 1870, but obviously they were there at least 8 years previous. I need to do some thinking on this.
In the 1880 census, William H. Dougherty's last name is spelled "Doughurts". William is going by his middle name of John, Hattie is still at home, as well as George, Edward, now Fred, age 9, Emma, age 6, & Richard, age 2.
According to the Historical Account of Beadle County, South Dakota, "John the oldest had no children. Ed married Mrs. Weicliff. Dick married Miss Zoa, a teacher who homesteaded in Spink County, S.D. George settled in Hand County in 1885 and married Miss DeLong. They had Helen (Mrs. Tom DeHaven, mother of Jean), Frank who died, Robert, also dead, Mabel (Mrs. Jack McGirr then Mrs. William McGirr) and Fred JR. who married Irene Carrington. Charles died in 1967."
I realize that reading about land purchases is certainly not particularly exciting, but it IS thrilling if ever these lands could be viewed by myself or readers someday. Now you know where to look!
