Notes:

There is a significant history of O'Dougherty, O'Doherty in DonegalCounty, Ireland. The surname was used interchangeably withO'Daugherty in early America very often. Please refer to thebeginning of the 'John Christian Rector Family Tree Book' where "TheHistory Of The Surname Dougherty" is listed in the Contents of thebook.

They are theonly ones listed in the county-Daughtery and Richtor. There are nosurnames of Dougherty or O'Doherty or Rector. The original spellingof the Rector family was Richter/Richtor. Even though Rachaelspelled her name with an "o" (as my family claims) instead of an "a",I'm sure that the census takers wrote it down as it sounded with an"a".

Note: This is undoubtably the family, however there are two Daughertymales listed old enough to be Rachel's father either Thomas or WilliamDaugherty who are living near each other and no doubt are brothers orfather-son. William is listed in the tax roles in Frederick,Virginia, but there is no Thomas listed. So, William may be theoldest. Also there are two sons Charles & Edward, but unknown whichis their father as same with Rachael. We now have names of thefamily, but must sort out who belongs to whom.
