William Daugherty
William
Daugherty, b. 1761-1762; 23 Dec 1835, Lee County,
Virginia; m. *Elizabeth
(possibly Reynolds) Harber,
b. ca. 1760-1770; d. unknown. William & Elizabeth
Daugherty had at least (1) one child:
1. Charles,
b. 1808
Charles Daugherty
1. Charles
Daugherty, son of William & Elizabeth Daugherty, b. 1808 (From 1850 Census); d. prior
1883, Lee County, Virginia; m. ca. 1828-1829 to Mary Trotter,
daughter of Isaac & Rebecca Trotter, b. ca. 1811. No
children.
*$ According to family, Elizabeth was the
daughter of R. J. Reynolds. According to Vernon Harber, the family received a letter after the
death of R. J. Reynolds stating that she was his
daughter. However, the family was not entitled to any
inheritance. According to "Early Settler's of Lee
County Virginia and Adjacent Counties, Vol. 1",p.__,
in court records Elias Harber, her son, is declared the
illegitimate child of Jeremiah & Elizabeth (Reynolds)
Harber. According
to records she shows up with a fourth child, Charles
Daugherty, b.
1808. According to tradition, Jeremiah Harber left
Elizabeth and the children and went into Kentucky and was
not heard from again. Perhaps after several years alone,
she felt that her husband was dead and that since she was
alone with children a second husband was needed.
Elizabeth Harber most likely married William
Daugherty around
1807/1808 . Her son Charles Daugherty was b. 1808.
Elizabeth remained William Daugherty for the rest of her
life.
