General Notes: Husband - Rev. Francis Doty

---

He was a minister in the first settlement at Taunton, Massachusetts. In 1641, for utterances contrary to some of the Pilgrim Fathers' practices, he was driven to Long Island. The Dutch government issued a patent to him "for a Colonie, Messpath Kill, twenty-eighth of March, 1642." Some of his descendants settled in New Jersey.

The source [BHCWC, 130] states that he was a son of Edward Doty, from the Mayflower. Lists of the children of Edward Doty do not include him and dates known for each make it seem more likely they were contemporaries. For example, Rev. Francis was given a patent in 1642, just seven years after Edward married his wife.
