Jackson Twp was formed in 1830, is located in the extreme se section of Fo. Co. & the
territory was originally part of Cain Twp. The only town in Jackson twp is Wallace, which
was platted on Sept. 25, 1832 by John & Henry Bowman, from their land. The post office
was established during the term of office of Governor Wallace, thus changing the
town's name to Wallace. The first school of Jackson Twp was founded in 1840. Buffalo
School, Morgan School, Germany School, Gray's School, Wallace School, Bowers or
Freedom School, Frog Pond School, & Livengood School were the names of the first
schools in the area.
The Fountain County Genealogy Society has just received 2 family books on the Hutts
Family, which have been added to the shelves. To find out more of the Daughtery family, I
suggest contacting the Fo. Co. Genealogy Society. I do notice two spellings of the
name...Daughtery & Doughtery.
