| Notes |
In Ireland, the original name "O'Dochartaigh" in the Irish language
goes back to the 3rd century. In the 17th Century the name was
changed into variations...
"The Daugherty family name is derived from an old English word
"Dyhtig", meaning valiant and strong. It seems to be that they were
part of the flight of wild geese including thos who fled from Ireland
for religious persecution. Dougherty originated in the Inshowen
Peninsula.
The Daugherty family name was established in southwest Alabama, in
Washington County, by Peter Patrick Daugherty and his uncle, Reuben
Daugherty, about the time Alabama became a state (1819). The initial
immigration of the Daugherty's of this family occurred about the time
Benjamin Franklin invented the cast iron stove, with the arrival of
Owen Daugherty II, around 1750, prior to the American Revolution.
The Daugherty's in Ireland was a very old clan. The ruins of an
old Daugherty Castle still exists in Co. Donegal as an attraction.
History suggests that the Daugherty Clan may have lost their land in
the 17th Century when England implemented the Church of England. From
about 1603 to the decade of the 1660's, some of the lands of Ireland
changed hands. The land of those not supporting the Church of England
was confiscated, was cut up into parcels and given to new settlers
that did support the Church of England. Restrictions on Ireland's
export trade in manufactured woolen goods was virtually destroyed.
There was little, or no, religious or economic freedom in Ireland in
the mid 17th Century. Migration to other locations on the continent
and to the colonies increased.
Owen Daugherty, I, a native of Donegal Co., Ireland, with an
uncertain birth date, begins this line of the Daugherty family.
Research yields little substantial information relating to his origin
or antecedents, except his wife's first name and the names of two sons
with the birth date of one. Land records in the US suggests Owen I
was established in VA as a young man. Consensus of researchers
conclude that he migrated to the U.S. in 1673 and subsequently
received a lang grant in Norfolk, VA in 1689.
Owen I must have remained in America sixteen years or more before
returning to Ireland where a son, Owen II, was born. His marital
status prior to his return to Ireland is unknown, but at the time of
the birth of two sons in Ireland, he was married to a woman with an
unknown name." (Source: Hal L. Daugherty-2005)

First, the Owen Daugherty who arrived in Norfolk, VA in 1673 was a
landowner by 1677. He married an Elizabeth by 1696, because her name
as his wife appears on several deeds of conveyance, beginning then.
Finally, he was dead by January 1, 1712, because there is an inventory
of his estate that identifies him as deceased and identifies his wife
Elizabeth as his administratrix. An inventory of her estate also
exists, but I haven't been able to find it.
I have not been able to find any mention in any of the documents of
who Owen and Elizabeth's children were. So. . .that creates a problem
as we try to link him to the Owen Daugherty in North Carolina.
There is another Owen Daugherty who appears in Craven County, NC by
1743 and buys some land. I can't find out whether he is the son or
grandson--or any relative at all of the Virginia Owen Daugherty. But
he MAY be. He CANNOT have been born in 1735, as some records say,
because he'd only be 8 years old when he purchased this property. So
he might be the father of the Owen Daugherty that some folks say was
born in 1735. But I can find no evidence of an Owen born in 1735. If
some of you have it, I'd really like to hear about it.
In 1745 there is a land sale in Virginia of "Owen Daugherty's land"
by a Job Docketay, who is identified as being from North Carolina.
There seems to be some relationship in North Carolina between Job
Daugherty, a Solomon Daugherty, and Owen Daugherty--but I can't
determine what that relationship is. It also seems pretty obvious that
Owen Daugherty who dies in 1785 and Daniel Daugherty who dies in 1791
are brothers.
I have copies of perhaps 20 deeds of conveyance involving Owen
Daugherty in Craven Co., NC between 1743 and 1785. His gift of deed to
his first set of children is in 1762, and his will is in 1785. None of
these deeds of conveyance ever mentions a wife's name, so I wonder how
we get the name of Susannah Alexander as either his wife or the wife
of an Owen in a generation in between? The 1785 will does mention his
wife Mary.
(From Post to Ancestry.com message board by Lonne Heath 7 Jan 2003)
"Information found in the book "Cavaliers and Pioneers" (Vol. 2
page 131) puts an Owen Daugherty in Virginia in 1673. This could
possibly be a father to this Owen.
Owen Daugherty and Daniel Daugherty are listed in a 1751 Craven
County Militia. They were likely brothers. (Also in the same militia
was a Willis B. McCoy). Owen made deeds to five children in 1762 for
land on the South Side of the Neuse River. They were Owen Jr.,
Richard, Suzanna, Elizabeth, and Sarah. In a will made in 1785,
probated in 1786, he names his wife, Mary and mentions five children
by his first wife. He then names his children by his second wife.
Robert, Daniel, Reubin, and Holland all moved to Kentucky, Ephraim
being the only child of his second wife that remained in North
Carolina. Owen's will is witnessed by Daniel Daugherty, Elizabeth
Daugherty, and James Arnold. Owen was the Bondsman for the marriage
bond of Milly Broadway and Arthur Arnold on Dec. 6, 1797, Craven
County."

Sworn to be a true and perfect inventory of the Decedents Estate this
12th of Janury 1712 by Elizabeth Dougharty Adm of Owen Dougherty Dec'd
and ordered to be recorded.
The Battle of the Boyne (Irish: Cath na Bóinne) was a turning point in the Williamite claim on the English throne.
The deposed King James VII of Scotland and James II of England and Ireland and his Jacobite supporters were defeated by James' nephew and son-in-law, William III and his supporters. By the invitation of Parliament, William had deposed James in 1688. Both kings acted as commander of their respective armies.
The battle took place on July 1, 1690 (Old Style) just outside the town of Drogheda on Ireland's east coast. Each army stood on opposing sides of the River Boyne. William's forces easily defeated those of James who led an army of mostly raw recruits. The symbolic importance of this battle has made it one of the best-known battles in British and Irish history and a key part in Irish Protestant folklore. It is still commemorated today, principally by the Orange Institution. As a consequence of the adoption of the Gregorian calendar ("New Style" dating), the battle is now commemorated on July 12 each year.
