  Notes for JAMES JR. DAUGHERTY: Jame Dougherty Jr., for whom Dougherty, Ga. was named, (often pronounced Dortee or Dawtree, carries a facinating heritage leading back to Moytoy, Chief of the Cherokee at Chotah in the 1600's when the headquarters of this tribe was in East Tennessee. Mentioned in the books Myths of the Cherokee and Sacred Formulas of the Cherokee by James Mooney, James' ancestor, Cornelius Dougherty, an Irishman from Va. had established himself as an early trader among the Cherokees. Cornelius married a daughter of Chief Moytoy. Sequoyah is of this same lineage. James Jr. married Elizabeth Dean who may possibly have been related to William Dean, the first settler to build a cabin on the ridge at Auraria. This settlement was called Dean's for a time and then renamed Auraria.
