Daughtery, Samuel; also Doughtery

My ggggrandmother was Samuel and his first wife Anna Wood's daughter. She was Caroline born in 1810, They also had a son Samuel born in 1814 according to what I read in Lisbon records. Caroline married Wm Mason Richards from Hartford CT in 1830 in Belchertown. Caroline and Wm had one child Fannie Ann born 1835. They settled eventually in Berlin Wisconsin. Wm was a minister in the Berlin/Green Lake area. They are buried in Berlin. Fannie married Martin Luther Kimball who was a Wisconsin state senator in 1860. They had several children (one being my grandfather). Samuel's second wife was Lucinda. I believe the information you sent me had Lucinda first and Anna second. If you would like further information please let me know. This was exciting information for me. Valarie

Mr Reilly:

I thank you for information you sent me awhile back concerning my gggrandfather Samuel Daugherty born 1777 in Shrewsbury and died in Pewaukee Wisconsin March 2 1861. I do have a few things to add. One is his gravemarker in Wisconsin. Also an interesting article by his daughter with insight about his beliefs and how he helped a slave to freedom. I wish I could find his parents info.

Samuel Daugherty

Researched by Valarie Kimball Ullery

    Feb 01, 1805 -- marriage intention, Samuel Daugherty of Goshen [if Goshen, MA, a small town in the Berkshire Hills, west of the Connecticut River Valley] and Anna Woods of Belchertown (Belchertown Vital Records, Book A) -- earliest mention of Samuel Daugherty I've found, so far.

    May 08, 1805 -- marriage, Samuel Daugherty of Goshen and Anna Woods of Belchertown, by Justus Forward [of Belchertown] (Belchertown Vital Records, Book A).

    Dec 31, 1806 -- Samuel Daugherty advertised his Painting & Stone-Cutting Business, recently established in Whately, MA [on west side of Connecticut River, between Goshen and Belchertown], offered marble and slate gravestones and announced that he was seeking an apprentice (Hampshire Gazette)

     Samuel Daugherty was an enterprising sort. During this early(?) phase of his career, he signed/initialed many examples of his work -- I can mail you a list and a few photos, if you're interested -- most are of local slate, a few are marble; most have some sort of urn/willow design; inscribed, at bottom: S. Daugherty, Whately or S.D., Whately, followed by price

    Mar 27, 1809 -- Samuel Daugherty of Whately, stonecutter purchased land in Hatfield [town just south of Whately] from Henry Frazier (Hampshire County Deeds, 28:262)

    Mar 31, 1809 -- Samuel Daugherty of Whately, stonecutter and Jonathan Woods [father of Anna] [and Editor note, Lydia Barr, her mother] of Belchertown purchased land in Belchertown from Thaddeus and Naomi Rhodes (Hampshire County Deeds, 43:144)

    Dec 10, 1810 -- Samuel Daugherty of Belchertown purchased a 1/4 part of a saw mill, with privileges, and a 1/8 part of the mill yard on the west branch of the Swift River in Belchertown from Joel Billing (Hampshire County Deeds, 31:176)

     Other documents at the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds indicate that Samuel Daugherty remained in Belchertown where he, along with one or more of his wife's brothers, cut gravestones, some of which he/they signed, until the mid-1830s

    Aug 23, 1825 -- Samuel Dougherty (sic) of Belchertown married Lucinda Denny, widow of Joseph Denny of Leicester (Vital Records of Leicester, MA)

    At the South Cemetery in Belchertown are marble gravestones for several members of his family --   his first wife, Anna, who d. Jan 01, 1824 at 38; a son, William, who d. May 16, 1827 at 5y 9m; a daughter. This was helpful about Emeline, who d. Dec 26, 1828 at 17; a daughter, his children. Angeline (wife of Samuel Brown), who d. May 03, 1829 at 23; a twin son (by his second wife, Lucinda), Edward H., who d. Sep 12, 1830 at 2y 5m

    Feb 17, 1836 -- Samuel Daugherty and Alonzo Daugherty of Belchertown, stonecutters sold two tracts in Belchertown to David Aldrich (Hampshire County Deeds, 76:619); prior mortgage to one of tracts discharged Apr 19,1836 (49:786)

     This is the last reference I've found to Samuel Daugherty in Belchertown. So far as I know, Alonzo was his son.

     There's an unconfirmed report of a gravestone signed. Daugherty, Pittsfield. c. 1840 -- I haven't seen it; I don't know where it is.

     A Samuel Daugherty of Hadley, MA (husband of Caroline C.) bought and sold real estate in Hadley c. 1850 (Hampshire County Deeds, [Editor note: This was Samuel's son]
128:379, 128:403, 134:34, 134:261, 138:38). I've been assuming that this was a different Samuel Daugherty.

     According to Doolittle (Historical Sketch of the Belchertown Congregational Church, 1852) Samuel Daugherty the stonecutter, who married Anna Woods and lived in Belchertown c. 1810-1836, moved to Illinois.

Samuel Daugherty and the Underground Railroad

Transcribed and Edited by Michael R. Reilly

In the Waukesha Freeman newspaper dated, October 28, 1915 - a story "The Pewaukee of Days Gone By", written by Alex Caldwell appeared. An excerpt reads, "This fugitive slave law compelled the officers of the free states to arrest and hold every negro found therein without a pass. A route was mapped out across the Northern states for those runaway slaves to follow. This route was called the "underground railroad". Two stations on this railroad were established in this neighborhood, one by Deacon Clinton in the southern part of the town of Pewaukee, and one by Samuel Daugherty on the farm now owned by Ike Billings. The purpose of these stations was to secrete and aid the fugitive and furnish him transportation with horse and wagon to the next station. I remember one instance when a fugitive slave was secreted at Samuel Daugherty's, waiting for an opportunity to push further north. Before the fugitive left, Mr. Daugherty saw a carriage coming across the flat, and suspected it was officers in search of the negro, and sure enough it was. The negro was hustled out of the house and hid in the cornfield. The officers came in and searched the house, but went away without their man. After dark that night, Mr. Daugherty took his horse and buggy and carried his man to some other station."

A later Waukesha Freeman newspaper article dated, December 13, 1933, "Historical Society to Honor Lyman Goodnow", another excerpt further explains the above story. "In the summer of 1842, Caroline Quarrells, a young octoroon slave who had escaped from St. Louis, reached Milwaukee, where slave hunters soon appeared, offering a large reward for her apprehension. Sheltered at the home of Samuel Brown, he soon took her for safety to the farm of Deacon Samuel Daugherty, north of Pewaukee. After this refuge was deemed unsafe, she was taken to Deacon Edmund Clinton at Prairieville [Waukesha], and then to to the house of Deacon Allen Clinton two miles northwest."...

1. SAMUEL¹ DAUGHERTY was born 1778 in Massachusetts (Source: 1860 Federal Census, Town of Lisbon, age 81.), and died 02 Mar 1861 in Pewaukee (Town of Lisbon), Waukesha, Wisconsin. He married (1) ANNA WOODS 08 May 1805 in Belchertown, Hampshire, Massachusetts (Source: Belchertown Vital Records, Book A, "Samuel Daugherty of Goshen, MA", which is near Belchertown, and familysearch.org; Valarie Kimball Ullery.), daughter of JONATHAN WOODS and LYDIA BARR. She was born 05 Nov 1785 in Belchertown, Hampshire, Massachusetts (Source: familysearch.org Individual IGI Record.), and died 01 Jan 1824 in Massachusetts (Source: Congregational Church record - Valarie Kimball Ullery.). He married (2) LUCINDA HENSHAW 23 Aug 1825, daughter of WILLIAM HENSHAW and PHEBE SWAN. She was born 23 Sep 1786 in Massachusetts (Source: 1860 Federal Census, Town of Lisbon, age 73.), and died 19 Feb 1870.

In the spring and summer of 1837, James Weaver, who now lives at Sussex; George Elliott, Edward Smith, Nathan Peso and Samuel Dougherty came with their families and settled here, making for themselves permanent homes.

According to the town records, the first election was held April 5, 1842, at the stone schoolhouse on Section 35, when Samuel Dougherty was chosen Moderator, and David Bonham, and Lucius Botsford, Side Supervisors. David Bonham was also elected Clerk; James Weaver, Treasurer; R. Blount, Assessor; George Comstock, Collector; D. Bonham, Ed Smith and School Commissioners; E. W. Fowler and Thomas Redford, Constables; John Weaver, Sealer of Weights and Measures; A. A. Redford, Samuel Dougherty, D. Bonham and William Weaver, Overseers of Highways; A. A. Redford, William B. Caldwell and William Weaver, Fence Viewers. The whole number of votes did not exceed twenty.

The same summer (of 1837), old Mr. Doughtery [Daughtery] and old Mr. Peero came and made their claims about three miles west of us, and Mr. Doughtery built a log house and moved his family into it in a short time...

1840 Wisconsin Federal Census lists Samuel Daugherty in Town of Lisbon, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin Territory.

That summer of 1841 the stone school-house was built in School District No. 1, the first school-house that was built in Lisbon. It was a small structure when first built, but in later years it was remodeled and made more commodious. Mr. Phineas Bissel was the first teacher in the new school-house, and was succeeded by Miss Minerva Bissel. Previous to this there had been several terms of school taught by Miss Anna Daugherty in the same small cabin, in which the first school was taught by your correspondent, the cabin having been fitted up for a school room, after we moved into a more commodious one in close proximity to it which was about the same thing or nearly so, as having it in our house. But we put up with it as good grace as we possibly could, for the sake of having a school for our own and our neighbor's children.

James Clark maintained extensive exchange relationships with several individuals through the years, including the silversmith, Daniel Haines, for whom he made and repaired clock cases; the Brookfield and Worcester Iron Foundry, for whom he carved stove patterns; and, interestingly, with a stone carver from Belchertown named Samuel Daugherty, from whom he regularly received in trade pairs of gravestones, which he provided to deceased families to accompany the coffins he so often was called to fashion. James Abbott and others carted wood to the Clark shop, drawing the raw materials especially from the towns of Dana, Templeton, and Spencer�even from the mill of Parley Williams of Hubbardston, then extensively engaged in trade with his neighbor Emerson Bixby, whose house and story are now incorporated into the living history interpretation at Old Sturbridge Village.
