  1. ↑ He signed the Mayflower Compact of Dec 1620, so was then at least 21 years old, but he was also fathering children in the 1650's. As he was a servant to Stephen Hopkins aboard the Mayflower he was most likely then under 25 years of age.
  2. ↑ Gustav Anjou claimed Edward was the son of John Doughty and Ann Holland born 14 May 1598. However, Anjou was well known for fabricating information and it is clear from reputable sources where this was simply one of his many fabrications. (TAG 63:215)
  3. ↑ This may simply mean he was not a member of the Leiden Congregation, but rather was recruited from the London area by the Merchant Adventurers.
  4. ↑ Roser's Mayflower Passenger Reference states she may have died in the 1633 infection of the Colony.

Previous Y-DNA testing

Previous Y-DNA testing through the Mayflower Society[1] and the Doty/Doughty surname DNA project[2] 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 R-L21>DF13>ZZ10_1>Z16423>Z255>L159.2>Z16429>Z16433>A1248>A1245>A1254>FT78842[3].
