Four areas of this website are protected for members of the
Doty Society - the newsletters, lineages, research reports and the full copy of
The Doty-Doten Family in America . A username and
password are required for access. Each issue of the Doty newsletter will list
the current username and password.
RESEARCH REPORTS
Eight
Research Reports
are now available to members. Since 1989, the Doty Society has sponsored
research in England to try to establish the origin of Edward Doty.
The June 2006 Debrett report states that Edward may be the son of
Rev. Edward Doughtie, Dean of Hereford
Cathedral, and was born around 1593. A new report, by English genealogist
John Titford, has opened up several new avenues to explore.

Detailed lineage of
up to 15 generations from Edward Doty include name and geographic search.
The descendant charts show inter-relationships graphically.

The Pilgrim Edward Doty Society was formed to perpetuate the
memory of Edward Doty, a passenger on the Mayflower in 1620. The Society
was founded in October 1982 in Wilmington, Delaware by Mary Lee Merrill.
The 20th anniversary was celebrated at Plymouth, Massachusetts in September 2002.
Over the last 120 years, more than 92,000 descendants of Edward Doty have been
identified. To give you an idea of the span of family history, the
youngest descendants may be 14 generations (and 400 years) removed from their
progenitor.
