deceased, was of the oldest settlers in the township, coming here about the year 1820. He was born in Kentucky June 8, 1799, son of John Daughhetee, a native of West Virginia, and afterward removed to Kentucky and there settled. Our subject's mother's maiden name was Susan Parker.

Isaac P. was a farmer by occupation, and came to this State about the time of the admission of the State, and entered in Edgar County, remaining there several years, when he sold out and removed to section 3, where he entered about 300 acres of land; received the patent during Jackson's administration. He lived here until his death, which occurred August 27, 1854, in his fifty-fifth year.

He leaves a wife and five children. He was married in September, 1842, to Sidney Ann Wayne, who was born in Clark County, Ky., June 9, 1809, daughter of Benjamin Wayne and Nancy Tankesty, both Virginians.

Mr. Daughhetee was a Democrat, and one of the leading men of his party, though he never aspired for office. For many years he was a member of the Regular Baptist Church, having joined this denomination when nineteen years of age, and up to the time of his death took a very active part in promoting the interests of his church.
