H.H. Daugherty, sheriff of Scott County, Mo., was born in Dunklin County, in 1849, and is a son of John H. and Catherine (Summers) Daugherty, both natives of Southeast Missouri. John H. Daugherty was born in 1816, and died on December 14, 1887. He was a son of Elijah Daugherty, one of the first settlers of the Cape Girardeau District. The former went from Cape Girardeau County to Dunklin County in 1849, and served as sheriff of the county for two terms. Returning to Cape Girardeau County he remained until 1855 or 1856, when he removed to Scott County, but at the beginning of the Civil War he went to Illinois and remained until the war was over, when he returned to Scott County and resided on what is known as Daugherty Landing, until eight years before his death, when he removed to Morley. He was a farmer by vocation. To him and wife were born twelve children, eight of whom are living, viz: Columbia (Mrs. John T. Gaither, of commerce), Alexander, Henry H., James A. (a resident of St. Louis), Elijah (a merchant of Morley), Ruth, Llewellyn (a druggist of Benton) and John. Those deceased are: Ashley (who died in March 1886), Minnie, Martha (the wife of A.M. Massey), and an infant. Mrs. Daugherty is still residing in Morley. Henry H. remained with his parents until he was twenty-two years of age, when he married Luttice Singleton, a native of Marietta, Ohio. She died in 1875, having borne three children, all of whom died in infancy. Their names are: Fannie, Ella and Eva. Mr. Daugherty afterward married Sarah Batts, a native of Tennessee. To them have been born five children: Leda, Marvin, Willie and John (deceased) and one that died in infancy. In November 1884, Mr. Daugherty was elected sheriff of Scott County, and was re-elected in 1886. From 1875 to 1883 he served as postmaster of Morley. Since 1873 he as resided in Morley. Besides his town property he has two farms near town, and a drug-store in Benton. Mr. and Mrs. Daugherty are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
