FRANCIS M. DAUGHETY was born in Butler County, Ky., June 24, 1850, and is a son of William and Abigail (White) Daugherty, natives of Butler County, Ky., and of Irish and Scotch-Irish descent. Mrs. Abigail Daugherty died June 27, 1876. She was from early life a member of the Old School Baptist Church. Her father, Henry White, was a veteran of the Revolution. Henry White's parents were among the earliest pioneers of Kentucky.

When Henry was about sixteen years old, the family were one day attacked by the Indians, their dwelling burned and the whole family, Henry alone excepted, massacred. He was in the field at work some distance from the house, and hence was enabled to make good his escape.

One of the maternal grand-uncles of our subject, Joseph Lockston, familiarly known as "Master Jo" was also a veteran of the Revolution. During that struggle his command was for a time stationed on the Kentucky frontier, where he was one day attacked by two stalwart Indians, both of whom he succeeded in killing.

Francis M. Daugherty received a common school education in his youth, but has since acquired a good practical business education.

On June 20, 1863, in his thirteenth year, he enlisted in Company G, Thirty-fifth Kentucky Mtd. Inf. (Federal service), with which he served for one year, or until the expiration of his term of service, being mustered out at Louisville, Ky., December, 1864. He participated in the battle of Salina Salt Works, Va., and many lesser engagements.

After his return from the army he farmed with his brother-in-law for one year, and with his brother for another year.

He then bought a partially improved farm of 352 acres on Indian Camp Creek, a part of which he has since sold. Here he improved a farm, and remained until 1871, when he bought another small farm of sixty-five acres in the same neighborhood, upon which he remained only one year.

In 1872 he bought the farm of 130 near Dexter's Mill, upon which he now resides. He now owns well-improved farms amounting to 380 acres.

In June, 1884, he opened a general store at Dexter's Mill, where he is doing a thriving business. For several years he has also been quite extensively engaged in the saw-mill, lumber, log and stave business.

He is now serving as constable in District No. 5.

He was married in November, 1867, to Mary A. Abney, also a native of Butler County, Ky., where she was born December 7, 1852. One son and three daughters have blessed their union, all of whom are living, viz.: Hermina, Montreville, Abigail and Naoma. Mrs. Daugherty is a member of the Baptist Church. Mr. Daugherty belongs to no church. He was formerly a member of the Grange. In politics he is a democrat.
