Facts and Events
Disputed Parentage
Some Ancestry Member Trees claim that this John Daugherty was a son of William Dougherty of Monongalia County, Virginia. There does not appear to be enough of an age difference between the two for William to have been John's father. Also, John Daugherty is NOT listed in the estate records of William Dougherty, apparently making this claim unfounded. Additional research is necessary.
