MiscWife is a Goolsby. "Henry" was apparently Abraham Henry Childers... DNA says I am descended from her father Thomas Goolsby. End of discussion.

http://genforum.genealogy.com/childers/messages/1413

it appears certain that those who show that an Abraham Childer/Childress married a Susannah Goolsby are mistaken.It was actually Henry Childers who married Susannah Goolsby. Per a follow-up post to the above post, the referenced Abraham Childers/Childress actually married the widow Mrs. Susannah (Lax) Childers/Childress (a daughter of a Thomas Lax).When she married Abraham, she already had the married name of "Childress," and the author of the referenced follow-up post believes that her first/earlier Childers/Childress husband MAY have been a Benjamin Childers/Childress (albeit, no apparent proof).

I have seen what appears to be a well-researched file on the children of Henry Childers and Susannah Goolsby, and while a son named Goolsby Childers is included, no son named Pleasant Childers in mentioned.As such, was Pleasant Childers/Childress a son of Abraham Childers/Childress as many show....or perhaps instead a son of the first Childress husband of Susannah Lax (and maybe Abraham became the step-father of Pleasant Childers/Childress when he became Susannah's second husband)?Was that Abraham Childers/Childress also married before he married the widow Mrs. Susannah (Lax) Childress?Finally, is it possible that Pleasant Childers/Childress was a son of Henry Childers and Susannah Goolsby, and some researchers have simply "missed" that particular son via that couple?

Next post:
CORRECION:The father of Susannah Lax was apparently William Lax (not Thomas Lax).Sorry for the error.William Lax left his Will in 1778, and his daughter Mrs. Susannah (Lax) Childress married second to Abraham Childers/Childress in 1781, as I recall.

It is not clear if Michael and Mary Clark had a son named James and if they did, when and where he was born or anything else for sure about him. I'm leaving this for others...

There is a mixup between James Daugherty b1737 son of Michael and Mary Clark and James Daugherty b1747 son of Charles and Rebecca Cunningham... This is copied for both James Daugherty...

I have... He married (1) UNK in 1776. He married (2) REBECCA
CUNNINGHAM 1764, daughter of WILLIAM MCGILL and JEAN ?. She was born 1750.
[JN I'm assuming Rebecca McGill first married a Cunningham.]

James D b1737 son of Michael D and Mary Clark married a Rebecca Cunningham and their children are known and one has a Cunningham middle name...
Patterson-Magill-Daugherty Pedigree and letter.pdf
This story does not give the parents of James Daugherty but one of the author's grandmotehr was a Cunningham which would fit and a child had a middle name Cunningham.
BUT this family calls itself Magill!

Geneanet tree has the 1747 James son of Charles marrying a Rebecca with a different set of children than the 1737 family.

There seem to be confusions as to various William Daughertys so I'm going to leave it to be solved by his possible descendants. One of them was in Pennsylvania, and this family as far as I know was mostly in Virginia. Plus Scotch-Irish did not seem to go from Virginia to Pennsylvania, but vice versa.

John Daugherty

M, #3147, b. 1743, d. 14 February 1828
Capt. JOHN DAUGHERTY, Sr. was born 1743 in Forks of James River, Augusta (now Rockbridge) Co., VA. He married Isabelle Anna Patton BEF 1769 in Augusta Co., VA, daughter of John Patton and Sarah Rogers, sister of James Patton. She was born ABT 1755. (Correction?: Sarah Rogers died in 1752. See Find-A-Grave at #62168992 and John Patton remarried Agnes Snodgrass on 23 March 1754 per Find-A-Grave #62251370 making Isabell the daughter of Agnes--not Sarah.)

The first of the family to go to Kentucky, John moved in 1811 to Indiana. He died on 14 Feb 1828 at Orange Co., IN, and was buried in his field in Sect. 26, Twp. 2 N, Range 1 E, Dugger Ceme., Orange Co. (his wife by his side a few months later, and in due course, their son George and his wife Hannah), in Stamper Creek Primitive Baptist Church, Paoli, IN.
There is a memorial about 4 feet wide. On the west side is Captain John & Isabella's birth and death date and then their children are listed with their wives. All eleven of them. Capt. John's son, Robert b. 1790 and his wife Sarah, and their son Robert S. b. 1818 are also buried there. William b. 1779 and Elizabeth (Betsy Tanner) are buried in the old Dugger Cemetery in Dugger, IN. James Tanner b. 1812 and Amanda Jane (Snyder) are buried at Pleasant Hill Cemetery, MO.
On the East side on the left is engraved the Dougherty coat of arms....engraved under it is "Original Coat of arms worn by the Lords of Innisowen of Dougherty Castle on Lock Swilley, Donegal Co. Ire. Its meaning: translated ' For My Hereditary Right.' " On the right is an engraving of a castle and under, "Ingraved in stone above the fireplace in main room of the castle: These words: 'Accepted Christianity 652 AD' Our first known ancestor was: Sir Cahir O'Dogherty." It is unknown who placed the memorial or when (Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, pp. 131-132).

In 1774 in Fincastle Co., VA, John Daugherty was a Capt. in the Virginia militia, including a chore of delivering horses prior to the Battle of Point Pleasant on the Ohio River (DAR Patriot Index, by National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. DAR, Washington, DC, 1994, Part I, p. 765).
On 3 May 1774, Fincastle Co., VA, John Daugherty went into court to prove that part of his left ear had been bitten off in an affray. The grand jury, among its members Benjamin Logan who took a colony to Lincoln Co., KY, indicted Isaac Spratt for this act, but also presented John Dougherty for unlawfully quarreling. The Spratts were neighbors who had sold land to John's brother George Daugherty (Annals of Southwest Virginia, by Lewis Preston Summers, p. 624).

Shortly after 7 FEB 1775, JOHN appears to have left Virginia for the Kentucky country, the first of his family to settle there. He and John Wilson settled at Locust Thicket near Danville, KY, having raised a crop of corn there in 1775. In March they made a journey to the Falls of the Ohio "to see the country and make improvements and Entrys." During Indian attacks of 1776, others left to live in a fort, but John Daugherty remained on the disputed land. His near neighbor Archibald McNeil was killed by Indians in 1777; in 1778 Dougherty was Capt. of a militia company (Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, Vol. 53, 1955, p. 128).
It is unlikely that he brought his family to Locust Thicket until now, but meanwhile he had been acquiring large tracts of land south of Danville. He owned thousands of acres and had Dougherty Station 1.5 miles below Danville on a branch of Clark's Run then known as Dougherty's Creek but now as Balls Branch, near the Wilderness Trace. John built his house on a slight eminence about 200 yards from the confluence of Dougherty's Creek and Clark's Run and it was visible from the Trace. His brother ROBERT lived in the vicinity for several years.
John's brother HENRY followed him to Kentucky permanently within three years, returning to Virginia only to settle the estate of their father, MICHAEL (II) who died in 1789 (Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, p. 128).
On 20 Apr 1776 in Kentucky, JOHN opened an account with Henderson's Transylvania Company. In 1776 he entered land on Goose Creek, near the future site of Louisville, for his brother JOSEPH.
On 27 Oct 1779, Harrodsburg, KY, he appeared in the Virginia Commissioners' land court, and again in Nov, and again on Feb 15 and 16, 1780.
Between 24 Oct and 24 Nov 1782, in Kentucky he led as Capt. a company of 42 men, including his brothers ROBERT and GEORGE, on Clark's expedition following the Blue Licks disaster. The Indians never gave Kentucky any great trouble after this expedition, and the number of settlers increased rapidly.
In 1783, most of the land around Dougherty's Station was being farmed, and a grist mill was built nearby on Dougherty's Creek. John and his brothers JOSEPH and JAMES were the only three Daughertys on the 1783 Lincoln Co. tax list. Between 1784-1785 he continued purchasing land in the Hanging Fork of Dix River area, but evidently by winter he determined move to Jefferson Co. On 2 Mar 1785 he surveyed 1000 acres on Goose Creek, adjoining land he had marked and improved for his brother JOSEPH in 1776 (Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, p. 129; and Kentucky Ancestors, a series, Vol. 28(1), pp. 7, 9, 11).
In 1786, Lincoln Co., KY, he began selling his land in the Danville area at an average of more than a pound per acre.
On 17 Jan 1789, Fayette (now Trimble) Co., KY, he acquired and surveyed 1600 acres on Mill Creek; he now had 4000 acres in the Jefferson Co. area. On 17 Jun 1990, Nelson (now Greene) Co., KY, he acquired and had surveyed 1500 acres on the middle fork of Pitman Creek adjoining James Dozier and John Boss. He sent his sons Michael, about 20, and George, about 17, with James McCullough and Burrell Jackson to make the survey (Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, p. 130).
Between 1790-1793 JOHN was mentioned in a number of Lincoln Co., KY, depositions, and mentioned as "of Lincoln Co." and "of Jefferson Co." on various deeds.

In 1793 JOHN and ISABELLE and their younger children were living in Jefferson Co., KY, on Goose Creek near Louisville, and Michael moved up from Nelson Co. and acquired land on Dougherty's Creek of the Little Kentucky River in Henry (now Trimble) Co., where he remained until his death in 1830.

By 1800 JOHN resided in Jefferson Co., KY, and most of the family, including his brothers HENRY, JOSEPH, and GEORGE and their families, were concentrated in Jefferson or Henry Cos. In 1802, JOHN appointed his son George as agent to sell his Mill Creek land and possibly made his first trip into Indiana Terr., where settlement had begun the previous year.
On 7 Mar 1811, Harrison Co., Indiana Terr., JOHN was appointed Justice of the Peace. Only Michael of his sons remained in KY.
In 1812, Stampers Creek Twp., Orange Co., IN, the family began entering land and most of his sons came to live there; two taught school in log cabins; some operated grist mills; they served in the militia and some had small civil posts, just as in VA and KY. In 1813, John's son-in-law William Charles, Mary's husband, was killed by Indians in one of their last incursions in the area (Register of the KY Historical Society, p. 131).
