The Doty Family
The first 6 generations
This information is taken directly from the E. A. Doty book "The Doty -Doten family in America" .  I do not claim it to be accurate or complete, but it is the best information I have at the moment.  I do believe it to be accurate in representing my ancestral line.  The General Society of Mayflower Descendants granted me membership based on this work.
If you have information sources which contradict any of my claims, please contact me so I can make corrections.
The book, and a 1984 reprint, are out of print.  I have a copy of the reprint.  Copies for sale on Amazon.com and Ebay range in price from $150.00 to $350.00
A Long Island company, GenealogyCDs, has made a complete version of the book available on CD, and has granted permission to place a copy on the Edward Doty website at "http://www.edward-doty.org/"  Click on the link in the opening paragraph of that site to view the book.  It is a large file (57 megabytes), so it is best to have a high-speed Internet connection -- cable or DSL.
If you do not have a high-speed connection to the Internet, you may buy a copy of the CD, either through their website, or  by mail at:
