son of an expatriate Scots-Irish who run off from indentured servitude to become a trader and packhorseman in the backcountry of colonial South Carolina & have dealings with the Creek and Cherokee nations. The real Cornelius Dougharty (the way he spelled it) was perhaps the earliest English trader to set up shop in the Overhill Settlements of the Cherokee Nation. Various sources have him crossing the Unaka Ridge and going down the Unicoi Turnpike as early as 1710, this is unlikely since other records put his death at around 1790 and if both dates are true he would have been roughly 100 to 110 years old. Cherokee and Shawnee genealogists put his birthdate at 1720.

He is said to have married Ahneewakee, the adopted Shawnee daughter of Moytoy about 1739. His wife's Shawnee heritage makes Cornelius an ancestor for both tribes. We do know for certain that Cornelius lived at Hiwassee Old Town (located about where US Highway 411 crosses the Hiwassee River in southeast Tennessee) and therefore must have experienced and survived the smallpox epidemic of 1739 that caused the area to remain otherwise uninhabited for many years thereafter. Records from the Fort Loudoun period show him to have been a trader, wagoneer, and provisioner. He raised cattle, horses, and hogs http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=dpanther&id= I05124

1724 Began to trade among the Cherokee Note: Benjamin Hawkins describes old Cornelius Daugherty's place, abandoned by 1797, near the town of Quanasee. He calls Doughterty "an old Irish trader." He was said to have been 120 years old when he died. He was originally a member of the party of James II who fled to America after the Glorious Revolution and taught the Cherokees how to steal horses from Virginia, according to Samuel Cole Williams. He first went into the Overhill towns of the Cherokee in 1719. According to Rodgers or Rogers and Rodgers or Rogers, Alexander Doughterty (Cornelius' father?), an Irish trader from Virginia, was the first white man to marry a Cherokee, in 1690.
