The Railroader's Daughter 
Would love to collaborate with you on the Ireland connection for John Daugherty. At this point, I’ve been unable to find where in Ireland the Daugherty’s are from. My mother, Patricia Alywn Daugherty (daughter of Hubert A and granddaughter of George Fulton & Malissa May Walker) remembers hearing the story that they were kicked out of Ireland and had their head (an O’ in front of their name) chopped off. Don’t have anything to support this, though.
Hi Marlese,
I’m so glad you like the blog and that we can connect in this way. There is a contact that I have and I will give you his name and email if you want to contact me via email. He has an enormous amount of information on the Daugherty’s and has traveled to Ireland doing research. sherrykelly@comcast.net
