One Tree....Many Branches
Through this page, I hope to extend the research I have done on the DeHority family and the other families with which it shares its history. If you are researching members of this family, I hope you will drop me a line so that we can share information and resources. This site is evolving, so please share any tips or suggestions you might have.

My Ancestors
I have found members of the DeHority family as early as 1720 in Maryland. At that time, the name had a variety of spellings, with some branches using Daugherty, Dehorty, and, of course, DeHority. From Maryland, the family went into Delaware, and from there north through Ohio, west through Kentucky, and continued the migration as far as the West Coast.

My Current Research
Currently, I am anxious to find the parents of James Madison DeHority, who was born in Delaware in 1819, migrated to Indiana where he married Susannah Hoffman in Fayette County, Indiana, in 1838, and settled in Elwood, Indiana, where he died in 1891.
