DAUGHTREY: William Thomas Daughtrey and family lived in Van Zandt County in 1870. In 1880, they were in Limestone County. W.T. died before 1900, probably in Limestone County, but I haven't found where he is buried. His wife, my gg grandmother Mary E. Trevathan Daughtrey died in 1922 and is buried in the New Hope Cemetery, Limestone County, as is their daughter Martha C.D. Brady and some or most of her children, Patrick Brady and her sons by her first husband James Madison Ainsworth, who is also buried there. They had two daughters that I haven't been able to find anything on either. Elizabeth Daughtery, born 1849 in Alabama and Mary A. Daughtrey, born 1851 in Alabama. Anything would be very much appreciated. Shirley Chandler
