February 21, 2013 - Children of William and Harriet Daugherty

This is the information that Ellen L. has sent me...

Children of Willilam and Harriet (Beddon/Beddows) Daugherty

"Margaret Daugherty - was born before 1830 in Virginia and died 10/1850 in Appanoose County, Iowa.  She married a John H. Hampson (b.abt. 1820 in Ohio) on 12-21-1848 in Appanoose County, Iowa.  According to the 1850 Iowa Mortality Schedule, Margaret Daugherty Hampson died in October 1850 of confinement about the time of the birth of her child, James Hampson, who was born in 1850 in Appanoose County, Iowa.  I have not located her place of burial.  It could have well been on the family farm and no stone put in place.  Margaret's husband, John, and son James, can be found living in the William Daugherty household in the 1850  census.  Young James Hampson is listed in the 1856 State Iowa Census with his last name listed as Dauhghterty.  No sign of John Hampson in the 1856 State Census.  James Hampson can be found in the 1880 census living with his Aunt Louisa Jane and Uncle James Logan in White Cloud Township in Nodaway, Missouri.

This is my ggrandfather William Henry Daugherty.

 

William Henry Daugherty - was born 2-23-1830 in Nicklesville, Scott County, Virginia and died 1-12-1918 in Glen Elder, Mitchell County, Kansas according to records.  He married 2-19-1861 in Delavan, Illinois to Martha Pepper.  Attempts to locate the grave of William H. Daugherty in Glen Elder, Kansas were unsuccessful on 8/20/07.  Records at city hall register his death by the doctor and states he is buried in the Glenwood Cemetery northeast of town.  I have made contact with a library staff member who has searched the cemetery records at the city clerk's office page by page and was not able to locate information on the burial spot.  No obituary was located at the library in Cwker City Kansas.  The 1900 Federal Census lists: William H. Daugherty, age 69, b. Virginia, parents b. Virginia, married, 39 years as a boarder in the home of Elisha Vandeventer, on the list for Benton Township, Holt County, Missouri.  It is said he moved to Kansas in 1902.  In the 1910 Federal Census, William H. Daugherty, age 80, b. in West Virginia was living in the home of Rufus C. Glizke and wife Nora as a 'Charge' in Mitchell County, Turkey Creek Township, Kansas.  I don't think I need to go into more detail about William Henry Daugherty as you are more familiar with his story more so than I am."
