      Will Book Unknown:
      (Courtesy of Donna Hart)
      This is John Alexander's Will. Could he be the father of Susannah,
      Owen's wife? Perhaps she is Susannah Alexander. Or maybe this is
      just a payment for the services Owen is asked to do for John's sister
      Alice. OR is this a gift to Owen and Elizabeth, only now just
      recorded?

      Owen and brother, Daniel, were listed in the Craven County Militia
      Row 1751/1753. Their sister Margaret stayed in Virginia.
      Owen's brother, Solomon (?), obtained a land grant in 1745 in
      Craven County, North Carolina, which is about 440 miles South of where
      they had first settled in Virginia. Solomon sold the land to his
      brother Owen in 1749.
      Owen II, the son of Owen I was born in Northern Ireland (Donegal
      Co.) and appears to have remained there to maturity, and eventually
      married Susannah. Susannah and Owen II had five children; three
      girls, Susannah 2, Elizabeth and Sarah; and two boys, Richard and Owen
      III. Owen III was born about 1740 in Ireland, but birth dates or
      birth locations of other children are unknown. Sometime in the decade
      of the 1750's, or a bit earlier, Owen II migrated to the Colonies with
      his family. In the Colonies he planted his roots in Craven Co., NC,
      where he prospered acquiring a fairly large acreage of land. In 1762,
      subsequent to a second marriage, he deeded land to each of his and
      Susannah's five children. To his son Owen III he gave 140 acres and
      each of the other children received a separate tracts. Little
      information is available about Susannah who must have died prior to
      about 1760.
      Owen married a second time to Mary Taylor, daughter of Robert
      Taylor and Catherine LNU, born about 1736 in Craven Co., NC. Owen II
      and Mary had five children, Daniel, Reuben, Ephraim, Robert, and a
      daughter, Holland. They all grew to adulthood and married in NC.
      Owen II died in February 1785 in New Bern, Craven Co., NC. Prior
      to his death, on 5 Jan 1762, Owen II executed a deed dividing his
      holdings among each of his five children. Owen III received a 140
      acres of land. There is no mention of his wife, Susannah, who may
      have died prior to the move to America.
      After Owen II's death, about 1785, two of his sons with Mary,
      Daniel and Rueben, (and perhaps Robert) decided to leave NC and join
      the caravan of Moses Taylor, father-in-law of Robert and Daniel, in a
      move to KY. Ephraim remained in NC and daughter, Holland, may have
      also remained there for a time, then followed her brothers to KY. The
      actions of Robert Daugherty, subsequent to the break up of the NC
      estate, are uncertain.
      Robert had a son, Peter Daugherty, born in 1798. Peter was not
      born in KY or NC. In fact, there is no record of Peter's birth until
      the Washington Co., AL Census of 1850 which shows the birthplace of
      Ireland. Robert Daugherty was a preacher probably a circuit rider
      accustomed to traveling. It is possible that, at the time of the NC
      break-up, Robert and wife, Sarah, traveled to Ireland and remained
      there a few years before joining his brothers in KY.

      " OWEN DAUGHERTY III (?) was born in Donegal County, North Ireland
      between 1720/1740. He immigrated to New Norfolk, Virginia where he
      obtained a land grant. He family consisted of: Solomon, Owen, Daniel
      and Margaret.
      ("Owen III's family" had to have been his siblings, children of Owen
      II.)

      Owen's (II) brother, Solomon, obtained a land grant in 1745 in
      Craven County, North Carolina, which is about 440 miles South of where
      they had first settled in Virginia. Solomon sold the land to his
      brother Owen in 1749. Owen and his brother Daniel were listed in the
      Craven County Militia Row 1751/1753. Their sister Margaret stayed in
      Virginia.
      (That Solomon was Owen's brother is in question. There is only the
      land transaction showing that Solomon sold land to Owen)

      "In the name of God, Amen. I Owen Daugherty of the county of Craven in

      but of perfect mine and memory; thanks be given unto God; calling unto
      mind the mortality of my body; and knowing that it is appointed for
      all men once to die; do make and ordain this my last will and
      testament.
      that is to say; principally and first of all; I give and recommend my
      soul into the hand of almighty God that give it. My body I recommend
      to the earth to be buried in decent Christian burial at the discretion
      of my executors. Nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I
      shall receive the same again; by the mighty power of God.
      And as touching such worldly estate where ever it has pleased God to
      bless me in this life; I give demise and dispose of the same in the
      following manner and form:
      First I give and bequeath to my well beloved wife , Mary Daugherty
      , one horse and saddle, one feather bed, one cow and calf, one-half
      Joe and Tankard.
      And to my well beloved son , Robert Daugherty, I give and bequeath
      my land and plantation.
      And to my son Daniel Daugherty, I give one cow yearling.
      To Ephraim, I give a young two year old mare and one cow.
      And as for the Negro wench, the first child she has to be for my son
      Daniel Daugherty; and the second for my son Ephraim; and the third for
      my son Rubin; and the fourth Negro child for my daughter , Holland. If
      it please God for her to bring the fifth child, for it to be for my
      five children I had by my first wife and likewise for each of them a
      two year heifer a piece.
      The remainder of my estate, to be for my wife during her natural
      life or widowhood. And for my son Daniel Daugherty to keep said wench
      till she brings the five children weanable.
      Leaving my well beloved wife Mary Daugherty and Robert Daugherty my
