My great-great grandfather

Source:  Our Doughty Families by Preston Doughty, Corpus Christi, Texas. 1966-1969.

Andrew Caddell Doughty was born August 19, 1851, in DeKalb, Kemper County, Mississippi, to James Murray Doughty and Emily Ann Rigby.  James Murray Doughty was a son of Joseph Doughty and wife, Mary Caddell.

On May 28, 1873, Doughty married Isabelle Adeline Moses at Rockport, Aransas Co., Texas.

Doughty died at Kingsville, Texas on December 5, 1929 [see obituary below]. 

“Called first ‘Little Mac’, probably because of his constant presence, as a small boy, with a workman named Mack, Andrew Caddell Doughty was a cattle rancher, sometimes in association with his father or the King Ranch, throughout South Texas.  Periods of activity were at San Diego, Goliad and Rockport, before his retirement as an employee, in Kingsville, of Kingsville Lumber Company.  Tall and slender, and stern of face, he was a highly regarded man at all times.

“Isabel survived him for many years, continuing to live in Kingsville as long as her health permitted.  Her final years were spent in the home of her daughter, Idabelle (Mrs. Warren) Downing, in Corpus Christi.

Children of Andrew Caddell Doughty and his wife, Isabel, were Lillian Edna, Walter Moses, Emile Perry, James Gravis, William David, Annie, Andrew Caddell, Jr., and Ida Belle.

    I enjoyed reading your posting about your ancestors. I, too, am descended from a Doughty. The Doughty family used to have a reunion at Midway, La, in the spring or summer. I have tried to get info about it so my sister and I could go. I took my mother to it years ago, and they posted the line descending from the Doty (or was it Dotie) who came over on the Mayflower.

    I can’t tell for sure where you live by the postings, but maybe in Texas? Please let me know if you have info about a Doughty reunion. Thanks. FC

    Hi:

    I will ask around with the Doughty’s I’m in touch with. And who knows maybe someone will see your comment on here and let us know. Thanks for getting in touch. James

    This is what I’ve gathered so far. Hope it’s on track,
    The only contact I have with the LA Mayflower Doughty folks is a Mark
    Doughty who the last I knew lived in Longview Texas.
    He does come from a proven Mayflower line of Doty that ended up in Louisiana
    so he may know of the Midway, La reunion.

    The only email add. I have for Mark may or may not be any good. It is
    mrk_doughty@yahoo.com

    The Doughty folks from my Joseph Doughty Sr clan have reunions that I know
    of in TX , AL, and here in Arkansas.
    I don’t think we have any in LA.

Got something to say?
