Biography
Robert was born in 1766. He passed away in 1823.
Robert Doughtery is on the 1800 tax list of Barren Co., Ky. == Robert was in the House of Representatives and the second Senator from Kentucky.
The Times of Long Ago, Barren County, Kentucky. By Franklin Gorin.
ROBERT DOUGHERTY, a Virginian by birth, was our first representative. He served in 1800, '01, '02, '04, '07. He was our second Senator, and served from 1808-12. He was an honest man, true and faithful; a man of sense, a business man, who conscientiously transacted the business of his fellow man at home and in the Legislature. He was faithful and was trusted in all things. He left political life in 1812, and like Cincinnatus of old, retired to his plow and the duties of domestic life, with a conscience void of offense.
