  • Notes 
    • Unsigned notes from others state William Samuel Daugherty Sr. apparently went by the name "Sam" and was a blacksmith. He was born in Ireland & died in VA.
      ***
      A note on Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bunch Daugherty's Family Search page says research says she was part African-American, not Cherokee. FYI.
      ***
      In 1763, William's wife Elizabeth was a heroine in the terrible raid by Cornstalk; the Shawnees were seen from Fort Young on Jackson River and an express was sent to William Dougherty's, but he was away from home, so Elizabeth mounted and raced up the Cowpasture valley warning settlers, who fled to the mountains before the Indians arrived. The settlers of Kerr Creek were less fortunate and Charles Dougherty, among others, was killed. -Author unknown.
