  General Notes:

Emily mothered her young brother and sister after her mother's death, July 7, 1895. She kept house (at the peanut farm near Holland, VA.) for her father until his death at 92 in 1930. Emily was a keeper of the Daughtrey Family History and recorded her family facts for generations to follow. Many of her writings have been researched, documented, referenced, and sited and can be read in this compiled genealogy.
