Status summary

- Doty surname project contacted
- Recruiting Doty for Y Elite test
Background
Paper trail
Edward Doty was born probably not long before 1599.[1] He was called "of London" in the 1622 Mourts Relation[2] He married twice, with his first marriage occurring sometime after the 1633 Cattle Division. She died shortly afterwards,[3] apparently without any surviving children.
Edward married second (his surname given as Doten) at Plymouth, 6 Jan 1634/5 Faith Clarke.[4]. Edward died at Plymouth 23 Aug 1655.[5].
Edward and Faith had nine children; three daughters and six sons (Edward, John, Thomas, Samuel, Isaac & Joseph).
Previous Y-DNA testing
Previous Y-DNA testing through the Mayflower Society[6] and the Doty/Doughty surname DNA project[7] has indicated that the Mayflower Doty lineage belongs to the R1b-L21 Y-DNA haplogroup, which is quite common in Northwestern Europe, particularly the British Isles. More specifically, the Doty lineage has been found to belong to the subgroup defined by DF13>FGC11134>A146/Z16250>Z255>L159.2>Z16433[8]. More comprehensive testing through Y Elite will help refine this classification and identify new SNPs that define and delineate the Doty lineage.
