Those Charles Dougherty listings were possibly for the brother of John Dougherty, who was the Lt. Gov. The Daugherty (pronounced "Dowerty" here) house is still standing in Jonesboro. Our PAST group had it open for a tour a couple of years ago. Below is some of the history we found on it: This house, one of the oldest in Jonesboro, was built in 1857 for the John Dougherty family. Mr. Dougherty, one of the most prominent politicians of that time, was serving in the IL House of Representatives with Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas. Jonesboro was one of the three oldest towns in Southern Illinois, being established in 1818. At the time this house was built, the first 2 court houses on the square had been abandoned and the new, present courthouse on Market St. was just being built. The new town of Anna was only three years old in 1857. Mr. Dougherty, born in 1806 in Ohio, came as a young child with his family to Cape Girardeau, where his father died of fever before he was able to establish himself as a merchant there. In 1811 or 1812, John's mother came with three sons and a daughter to Jonesboro. It is thought many came here after the New Madrid earthquake. John grew up here, and in 1829, married Katharine James. John studied law with Union County lawyer Alexander P. Field, who became the Sec. of State of IL, and later the Sec. of State of Louisiana and a congressman. Dougherty was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1831. In 1846 he joined with Willis Willard and Winstead Davie to build the Union County Charcoal Road, a toll road to Willard's Landing, which is now partially highway 146. He was the attorney for the city of Cairo and by the 1850's he owned hundreds of acres of farmland in Southern Illinois, as well as several town lots in Jonesboro, Cairo, Mound City and Carbondale. He was actually one of the founders of Carbondale. He joined with Daniel Brush and others to form a group to buy land along the route of the Illinois Central railroad in Jackson county and the title was put in Dougherty's name. The first city lots for Carbondale were signed in 1853 by Dougherty and his wife. He purchased the "Jonesboro Gazette" in 1857 and was asked to speak at the end of the Lincoln-Douglas debate. However, he is most well-know for becoming the Lt. Governor of Illinois after the Civil War in 1868. It was during that term, he was appointed chairman of a board of commissioners with the authority to locate the Southern Illinois Insane Asylum. The city of Jonesboro offered to donate 160 acres, but that offer was rejected and 240 acres were purchased near the town of Anna at the price of $60 an acre for the commission and the town paying $20 an acre.

Sean, hello :) I dont have much on the Houston family, but I recognized the surname in my RENDLEMAN family. Actually, my gg grandfather RENDLEMAN was illigitimate, but his mother's daughter Alice May UNDERWOOD (b. 27 May 1909 Murphysboro) married a Jack/John HOUSTON, 13 March 1926 in Collinsville, IL. The reason I responded is that this RENDLEMAN family was out of Mt. Glenn and Cobden, Union Co, IL. I also recognize the CARRAKER name, but I will have to dig some more. It may have been in the bios of Cobden, and Alto Pass that I printed out from this forum a year or so ago. ----Kathryn, in Murphysboro
