Martha, I will post what I have (not all, but some) of the DEPP / DOUGHERTY connection. Please note I believe there were Germans in the ancestry by the name of Mary "Polly" HERR SLEMMONS. I could be wrong and would like any corrections or additions to the outline below. I descend from Robert DOUGHERTY of Barren County, so have a little more on that family. Mary's parents were Thomas Washington Slemmons and Elizabeth "Betsy" (last name unknown). Were these people German?
