  ID: I19721 Name: Reuben DAUGHERTY NPFX: Rev. Sex: M Birth: Abt 1779 in North Carolina Death: FEB 1860 in Tippah Co.,MS Note: 1860 US Mortality Index Dougherty, Reuben Age: 81 Gender: M Occupation: Clergyman, Priest Death Date: February, 1860 Death Location: Tippah, Mississippi Cause: Old Age Birth Location: North Carolina Note: Confusion between two Reuben Daugherty's. One (born 1771) married to Charity Gough, the other (born 1779) married to Martha Jane Smith. Reuben Daugherty, the second son of Owen II, born abt 1764, grew up in NC but did not marry there. At the age of probably 34 or so, Reuben traveled with his brother Daniel and the Moses Taylor I family to KY about 1795 where he met and married Charity Gough April 12, 1800 in Logan Co., KY. In KY, Reuben acquired land with deeds recorded in 1804. Two children were born in KY; a son, Arnett, born in 1803 and a daughter, Celia, born about 1810. Arnett grew up in KY and appears to have married there, and had a son, Arnett Jr., born in KY in 1823. His 1st wife is unknown. Reuben, Charity and daughter, Celia, remained in KY probably for about 15 years before again relocating to AL, a Territory prior to 1819. In AL, Reuben became a landholder, a preacher and a Justice of the Peace. Arnett Daugherty, son of Reuben, leflt KY with his small son, Arnett, Jr., after the presumed death of his wife, and followed Reuben to Washington Co., AL between 1823 and 1826. In AL Reuben gave land to Arnett by deed of August 7, 1826 before Arnett's second marriage to Sarah (Sally) Earle on October 12, 1826. Arnett, Jr. grew up in Washington Co. and married about 1843. His wife is unknown. Arnett, Jr.'s wife must have died before 1870. Near the end of the Civil War, probably around 1865, Arnett, Jr., the stepson of Sally Earle Daugherty, moved from Washington Co., to Choctaw Co., AL, taking Arnette, Sr.'s wife, Sally, along with them where she would be housekeeper for him in Choctaw. Arnett, Jr. is known to have a daughter, Eugene E. Daugherty, born 1864. Reuben Daugherty and his nephew, Peter Patrick Daugherty established two branches of the Daugherty family in southwest AL. Reuben must have arrived in AL prior to 1820 since land documents of that date in KY refer to him being a resident of AL. Peter Patrick probably chose to settle there because Reuben had previously done so. At the time, the Irish tended to settle in clans. Both Reuben's family and Peter Patrick's family must have had a high regard for the Earle family, who lived in the area and are listed in the census. Reuben's son married Sally Earle and Peter Patrick's son and grandson were given the middle name of Earle, spelled with the "e" at the end. Reuben arrived in present day Washington Co., AL when it was still frontier country, probably before AL's admission as a state. From 1800 - 1819 Washington Co., covered the entire lower portion of present day AL and MS. Within this vast area, later divided into 26 counties, the population in 1800 was 733 whites and 404 blacks. Reuben and Patrick, who must have arrived shortly after Reuben, were indeed in a sparsely settled area. The exact location of their settlement in Washington Co. is not known, but it must have been the area of present day McIntosh where many descendants still live. At the time of their arrival, the area was still occupied to a large extent by Indians. Mobile and Pensacola were part of West Florida, held by the Spanish. The area west of the Tombigbee was occupied by Choctaw Indians, while east of the AL river into GA was occupied by Creek Indians. Durihg the most of the 18th Century, the ruler of the Creeks was probably the most famous Indian Chief in the southeast, Alexander McGillivray, an old halfbreed who was 1/2 Scotch and 1/2 Creek. One of McGillivray's trading locations was McIntosh Blulff and one of his "cowpens", actually a plantation, was on Little River. The area was well known. The Creeks were called so because their towns were built on streams.(Source: Hal Daugherty - 2005) Reubin Daugherty: Located on the 1820 Butler Co., KY census, HH #71: Doughety Rubin - 30010; 01010; 00. In Logan Co. KY., Reuben bought 100 ac, 1804, from Thomas & Fanny Gough. WFT Vol. 19 #1590 says that Owen Daugherty and Mary Taylor m. c1759 in Craven Co., NC. A list of their children is included on that tree, but not copied here. Mary Taylor's parents, according to this same tree, were Robert and Catherine Taylor. Robert Taylor was born 13 Oct 1709 in Baltimore, MD and he married Catherine Unknown c1728 in Craven Co., NC. Reubin's parent's names were also provided on the Internet homepage of Steve L. Smoot, Email address-smoots@prodigy.net. Another Internet site, "The Daugherty Generations", gives more information on Reubin's parents, Owen and Mary (Taylor) Daugherty. Their children appear to have been born in Craven Co., NC. Reubin's brother, Robert married Sarah Taylor in Craven Co., NC in 1784. She was the daughter of Moses and Elizabeth (Prevatte) Taylor.

Note: Incorrect Reubin - Obituary of Reubin Daugherty: Hardin County, Tennessee, June, 1860, Reuben Daugherty, he was born in Craven Co, December 15, 1778 from thence he removed with his widowed mother about the year 1800 to Kentucky on the Green River where he married Charity Gaugh 1801 in about a year or two, after he united with the Baptist Church at Sandy Creek Meeting House and was baptized by Elder Benjamin Talbert where he remained until 1818. He moved to South Alabama where within a short time, he commenced preaching a Crucified Savior which he continued to do until a few months before his death when his bodily strength failed. He departed this life February 18, 1860. His disease was a failure of the urinal organs. He was consistent Old School Baptist and publicly contended for the faith once delivered to the saints about 40 years. In his last days of weakness, his mind was much exercised in the scriptures and also much upon his Christian experience. The night before he died, he was almost constantly quoting scriptures and trying to sing. "Jesus my all to heaven is gone;" this seemed to be his favorite song . From South Alabama he came to this country in the winter of 1829 and a few years ago, he settled in Tippah County, Mississippi and joined New Salem Church where he died and I have no doubt but that he entered into that rest that remains for the people of God although he was my father, yet amidst my grief I feel a degree of joy and gladness that he is gone from the evils and troubles of this world to meet with Jesus the Christian to all and be like him and sing his praises all eternity.
