The 1881 Coshocton County history sketches three Daugherty households and never says how they are related, so each is kept apart here. John Daugherty, born in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, in 1788, came to Keene Township in 1818 with his wife Jane Mitchell; their son Samuel M. became a carpenter, farmed two places in Adams Township and was serving as county commissioner in 1881, and another son, J. L. Daugherty, captained Company G of the 143rd Ohio in 1864. In Oxford Township, Ross Daugherty, born there in 1831 to James D. Daugherty of Wilmington, Delaware, served nearly three years in the 88th Ohio. Robert M. Daugherty, born in Harrison County in 1830, lived in Tuscarawas and Jefferson Counties before settling in Oxford Township, where he served twelve years as trustee. Every fact below is cited to a public-domain Coshocton County history.
