Individual Notes
• “Julia married a man by the name of Dority [Daugherty] they live in Stillwater Michigan.”1470, p 3
[Stillwater is a village in Saratoga County, NY]

• Two years after the dedication at Buffalo she was married to my father, John Daugherty, and they removed to Penfield.
After six years sojourn in Penfield my parents returned to Buffalo, and mother became a member successively of the church worshipping in the building bought of the Presbyterians on their removal to Church Square.
She still attends the morning and evening service, with the class-meeting, on Sabbath, and the social meetings through the week with much interest and pleasure.
