The Daughertys, who were of Welsh descent, came to Cape Girardeau from 
Virginia in 1798 or 1799. They were Elijah, John and Abraham, brothers, and 
William, a half brother of the other three. All located a short distance 
south of the present site of Jackson on adjoining farms. 

William Daugherty married Elizabeth Ramsey a daughter of Andrew Ramsey, Sr. 
He was a man of education, and it is said, was an original abolitionist. He 
would own no slavers in his own right, and had around him only those 
inherited by his wife from her father's estate. His son Ralph married the 
widow of Joseph Frizel, a daughter of Col. George F. Bollenger. He became a 
man of some prominence in political circles, served several years as clerk 
of the County Court, and in 1828 was a Jackson elector.
