7. i. MICHAEL MOR7 DAUGHERTY, b. 1690, Lagan Valley, Donegal , Ireland; d. 1761, Augusta Co., VA.
Generation No. 7
7. MICHAEL MOR7 DAUGHERTY (LIAM6 O'DAUGHERTY, LIAM5, SEAN4 O'DOCHARTAIGH, CONN3, AODH2, CORNELIUS1) was born 1690 in Lagan Valley, Donegal , Ireland, and died 1761 in Augusta Co., VA. He married CATHERINE ROGERS 1712 in Laggan Valley, Co. Donegal, Ireland, daughter of CAHIR (CHARLES) RODGERS (MCRORY). She was born 1695 in Laggan Valley, Manorcunningham, Co. Donegal, Ireland.
Notes for MICHAEL MOR DAUGHERTY:
Our immigrant ancestor Michael (Mor)* Daugherty was born in The Laggan; his wife Catherine Rodgers was born in Manorcunningham in The Laggan; their three sons William (the blacksmith), Michael (Oge)*, and Charles were born in Muff, Inishowen; Lifford; and Raphoe.
Michael (Mor)'s grandfather Liam (William) (Mor) was born on the Isle of Barth, Burt (a little south of Burnfoot-Bridgend on the British road map below, just below where the road turns off to the Inishowen).He died at Raphoe in The Laggan. His son Liam (Oge) was born in The Laggan.
Liam (Oge)'s son Michael (Mor) and his family immigrated to America in 1727, probably with the large Caldwell settlement to New Castle, DE. Joseph Caldwell was the Daughertys' Presbyterian landlord who immigrated because of the English crown's persecution of non-Anglicans, both Protestant and Catholic. With his brothers and brothers-in-law (including a Dougherty), and others they sailed from the port of Londonderry. After landing in Delaware, the group moved through Pennsylvania and south to Virginia, where many of them formed a Caldwell settlement near Charlotte. Another of the families was Patton, which we see in frequent contact with the Daughertys, Magills, and Pattersons in Augusta Co., VA.
By 1735 Michael (Mor) Dochartaigh/Doherty/Daugherty was a storekeeper in Newlondon Derry, Chester Co., PA. Abt 25 Jan 1737/8 he and his wife and sons moved with the colony southwest to Augusta Co., VA, settling on Borden's Great Grant in what later became Rockbridge Co. (There may have been daughters we don't know about).

William Daugherty (called "Sam" by the Cherokee) was one of the first Indian agents for the colony of Virginia; he married Elizabeth Bunch, a Cherokee. Michael (Oge) Daugherty married Mary Clark. Charles Daugherty married Rebecca Cunningham whose family came from Ireland with the same colony. Charles, our ancestor, was killed 17 Jul 1763 by Cornstalk's Shawnee raiding party on Kerr Creek; his family was spared by being at church. William's wife Elizabeth was a heroine, riding up the valley to warn other settlers. After those attacks, William and Elizabeth moved further south.
William and Michael (Oge) died in Montgomery Co., VA. Many of the children and grandchildren of Michael (Mor) Daugherty were pioneer settlers in Lincoln Co., KY, starting in 1775.

· Event: Milit-Beg 1742 Augusta Co., VA
on or soon after the day King George II was proclaimed, Michael
may have accompanied or soon followed a group from Ulster,
Ireland, which included the Caldwell family, Thomas Daugherty
and his wife, probably Anne, the sister of John Caldwell's wife
Margaret Phillips. The group became established at Chestnut
Level, Chester Co. (now Lancaster Co. since 1729), PA. About
1738 Thomas Daugherty departed for Albemarle (now Charlotte)
Co., VA, to establish the famous Cub Creek Presbyterian
settlement. Perhaps a relative, Hugh Daugherty was granted
land in Albemarle 5 Aug 1737, and moved to Bedford Co. 1766.

O'Doeherty
from Chester Co., PA, with his wife, sons [and perhaps unknown

"On looking at a map of the County Donegal, it will be seen
that the north-eastern part of the county, which is the most
northerly part of Ireland, is a peninsula washed on the eastern
side by the waters of Lough Foyle and on the western by Lough
Swilly. This is Inishowen, a mountainous and, to a large
extent, a barren country. Immediately to the south of it is a
fertile and comparatively flat country, lying between the river
Foyle and the upper reaches of Lough Swilly, and extending in
one direction from the City of Derry to Stranorlar, and in
another from Lifford to Letterkenny.
"This is the district which in by-gone times was known
under the name of THE LAGGAN, and formed the most productive
and desireable portion of the ancient territory of Tyrconnell .
