The James and Mary S. Daugherty Family of Alabama: They Went To Texas Volume II (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781546788447)

1.2. James Daugherty was a son of James and Mary Jane Stanford Daugherty, probably the second child. James and his family immigrated to Fannin County, Texas in September of 1837. Little is known about his life between 1828 and 1837. Records are scarce and unfortunately James is not a rare first name. Surprisingly enough, Daugherty is not an uncommon name either. He may have moved to Mississippi before arriving in Texas, but nothing has yet been proved about that. His family continued to live a more adventurous life than one might expect. James was killed and scalped by Indians in December of 1838. The story has always been a part of the family history, but it was also mentioned in several books. James was named as the second burial at Fort Inglish in Bonham, Fannin County, Texas. The family always counted education as high on their lists and they lived their lives in a way to make their descendants proud of having them as ancestors.
