    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.

Marched to Petersburgh and lay there 10 months and then went toguard the baggage wagons of the ... Virginia troops in Camdon.

Bluford home, with a young man bythe name of Samuel Gillmore who lived in Rockingham County, Virginia.And never again joined the service as that time I had about 6 weeks ofthe time for which I enlisted to serve. The whole of army service tothe best of my knowledge and belief are as follows: First tour, 13months, Second tour, 15 months, and Third tour 16 1/2 months."Whereas he hereby relinquishes every claim what-so-ever to a pensionor annuity except the present and he declaims that his name is not onthe pension roll of any agency in our state.

    "About 1754 a body of Connecticut people formed an association knownas the Susquehanna Purchase and bought of the Six Nations all the landbetween the Allegheny and Susquehanna Rivers, and organized the countyof Westmoreland, CT. The first effort at settlement, in 1763, was notsuccessful; the actual settlement was made by forty white persons in1769." [Book: JOHN CARY, PLYMOUTH PILGRIM by Seth C. Cary.] "...Nathaniel Rector was apparently in the Wyoming Valley at that time."The land this speaks of is in what is now Pennsylvania, but at thattime was being claimed for Connecticut. Many of these people were fora time located in Pawling, Dutchess County, New York and many of thesurvivors went back there after the massacre on July 3, 1778. Thisarea was called the Wyoming Valley and you can read about the WyomingValley Massacre in most encyclopedias." [Letter: To Helen Rector, fromRuth E. Middleton of Kansas City, Missouri, 25 Sep 1985, copy given toJoyce L. Clore Elkins in c.1985 A.D.]

    "WYOMING VALLEY,
    valley, NE Pennsylvania, extending along the N branch of theSusquehanna R. A beautiful and fertile valley, it is about 34 km(about 21 mi) long and 5 km (3 mi) wide and is rich in anthracitecoal. The valley was claimed by both Connecticut and Pennsylvania incolonial times, but was not settled until 1763, when the SusquehannaCo. of Connecticut, which had purchased the land from the Indians in1754, sent out a number of settlers. In 1768 Pennsylvania also boughtthe tract from the Indians and established a settlement (1769). In1775, at the start of the American Revolution, the settlers expelled afew of their number who were Tories and thus sympathetic to theBritish cause. In 1778 the expelled Tories, assisted by an additionalBritish force and Indian allies, invaded the valley. The settlers tookrefuge in Forty Fort, near present-day Wilkes-Barre. A force of about400 of the settlers attacked the invaders and were completelydefeated; two-thirds of them were killed or captured. Many of theprisoners were tortured and killed, and on the following day the fortwas surrendered. After the massacre, the surviving settlers returnedto the valley in small numbers, and the old controversy betweenConnecticut and Pennsylvania was renewed. In 1782 the U.S. Congressdecided in favor of Pennsylvania, but conflicts continued among thesettlers until 1788, when the Pennsylvania legislature confirmed theirland titles.

    **NATHANIEL RICHTER, some say Thomas Nathaniel Richter, but no recordhas been found to prove this. Born on October 08, 1761 nearBethlehem, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. the son of JohnChristian Richter from Saxe-Altenburg, Germany and Charlotte Sophia(Eis, Ey se, Eisen) Richter from Stet tin Prussia, now part ofGermany. Source: Bethlehem Congregation Register 1756-1801, HelenRector of Vancouver, Washington.
    He served in the Pennsylvania Militia during the Revolutionary War of1812 as a volunteer from September 1777 to early 1880's. Moving inthe year 1783 to Land caster County, Pennsylvania. there he met andmarried his first wife in 1788/9. One child known of this union. Hefollowed his trade as a cabinet maker also in the States of Marylandand Virginia. His wife died about 1791 but before 1804. Source:Fountain County, Indiana court appeal for pension rights. DAR(Daughters of the American Revolution) Record. York County,Pennsylvania, marriage and birth records.
    About 1792 he moved to Jefferson County, Kentucky and lived for aboutthree years and then moved to newly-formed Bullitt County,Shepherdsville, Kentucky about 1796 and remained for 40 to 50 years.In 1804 he met and married his second wife and there had eightchildren by her. She does not appear after the 1840 Bullitt County,Kentucky census so probably died there at age 60/70 years. Source:Gerrie Clevidence.
    About 1847 he moved across the Ohio River to New Albany, Indiana.After a brief stay there, he moved to Fountain County, Indiana and inthe 1850 Fountain County, Fulton Township, Indiana census he wasenumerated as 88 years old living with the household of his son,ThomasNathaniel Rector. His pension application was dated 1852, so he hadto be at least 90 when he died. No records have been found as to thedeaths of him or his wives. So, he could be buried in FountainCounty, Indiana, at Cates, Harves burg, or Old Wolf Creek Cemetery, afew miles South of Wallace and North of Grange Corner. No headstoneshave been found. Most of his descendants are buried in thesecemeteries.

    The German name of Richter slowly changed to the American name of"Rector" by the 1850's except for one who was buried with the lastname of Rictor.

    Notes:

    Or Daugherty or O'dougherty

    A great deal more research is required as yet to try and fathom thefamily dynamics. So, though there may be some dates and ideas,nothing is set in stone nor concrete. This compiler is open to newideas on the family and more than willing to share. You may contactme at: SLJuhl 3810 - 10th Avenue Place, Moline, Illinois 61265 or atgsjuhl@peoplepc.com or sljuhl1234@yahoo.com for further sharing ordiscussion at any time. And as it's said about all genealogyprojects, "They are never completely done".

    NOTE: AFTER GOING THROUGH THE CEMETERY LISTINGS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FORBULLITT COUNTY, KENTUCKY ON THE USGENWEB SITE THESE BELOW ARE THE ONLYONES FOUND. THERE WERE NO DOUGHERTY NOR O'DOUGHERTY LISTED. Myconclusion then is that the family who stayed in this county must havekept the census name indicated of Daugherty instead of the family nameO'Dougherty, O'Doherty as indicated by the 1830 Census of EdwardO'Dougherty/Daugherty. In two previous census's, 1810 & 1820, Edwardand other family members, Thomas, William, and Charles were referredto as Daugherty. Unless of course, the family died off and many leftthe area, but this is probably unlikely since there were so manychildren listed in the census records in the early 1800's.

    NOTE: It would also seem that the family was closely connected withthe Richter Family from Pennsylvania to Kentucky to Indiana.

    Note: This is undoubtably the family, however there are two Daughertymales listed old enough to be Rachael's father either Thomas orWilliam Daugherty who are living near each other and no doubt arebrothers. 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. There is a strongpossiblity that Charles may be the son of William since they arelisted directly one under the other one on the census sheet.

    I believe Charles Daugherty may be the son of William Daugherty,because they are listed together in the 1810 census one right afterthe other living next door to each other.

    Note: In this census, Edward Daugherty is the onlyDaugherty/Dougherty living in Bullitt County, Kentucky and sinceRachael/Rachel married in 1829, it is most likely that EdwardDaugherty is her father then since he is the only one in the county inthe census by that surname. And later he is found in MontgomeryCounty, Indiana not too far away from Rachel Daughtery O'DohertyRichter. Also, Edward's family size suddenly nearly doubles withchildren, and some of the older children are the same age. I wouldventure to say that one of the heads of households, either Thomas orWilliam has died, and Edward has taken in the family. Could bothThomas and William have died between 1810-1820-Both?? More researchis needed.

    Edward O'Dougherty is listed as head of his household along withNathaniel Rector, and Thomas N. Rector, all on the same page andliving very near each other on the listing.

    NOTE: I could not find Edward O'Dougherty/Daugherty in the 1840Census any where in the United States. There is an Edward Daughertythat shows up later in the death records in Montgomery County,Indiana. Edward's daughter Rachael O'Dougherty/Daugherty Rector isliving in Fountain County, Indiana in a neighboring county at thattime. She is married to Thomas Nathaniel Richtor/Rector, a directancestor.
