PREFACE
A DESIRE to know my own Doggett ancestry led me
to begin a search of the records in 1876.
In the search I found branches of my own line who had
changed the spelling of the name to Daggett, while other
branches had moved to distant parts of the country.
In trying to find these branches I had correspondence and
gathered information of families who were descended from
different immigrant ancestors.
Wishing to know more of these families and their ances-
try, I began a thorough search of the early records. This
search has occupied my spare moments from 1876 to the
present time. The records of more than forty Massachu-
setts towns have been examined ; the county records of
Suffolk, Norfolk, Plymouth, Bristol, Barnstable, Dukes,
Essex, Worcester, and Middlesex have each added some
points to the record, while an examination of more than
three hundred and fifty volumes at the State House, in
Boston, and many books in public and private libraries,
were among the methods used to gather what relates to our
family in Massachusetts.
I have also examined county, town, church, or private
records in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia; have called on many
members of the family in different parts of the country ;
have corresponded extensively, and have received more than
twelve hundred letters in answer to my inquiries.
iv PREFACE.
By the kindness of correspondents and the returns of
experts, whom I employed, many facts have been gathered
regarding the family in England.
Several rectors of churches in England were interested, and
very kind in sending extracts from their records.
Mr. William H. Doggett, of Leighton Buzzard, Beds., and
the late Edward G. Doggett, Esq., of Bristol, have added
many facts to the family history. My thanks are also due
to many in this country who have contributed to the records,
but owing to the number, I will not mention them by name,
knowing they will feel amply repaid by the knowledge that
they have done their parts toward preserving the family
records.
Errors and omissions will l^e found in the compilation, but
in many cases it is the fault of those who have made mis-
takes in their returns or neglected to answer my repeated
requests for full particulars.
The amount of material having become so large, and so
long a time having been devoted to its collection, 1 have
thought best to now submit the history to my kinsmen, be-
lieving the facts thus made known may lead to the correc-
tion of errors and aid in bringing to light the points that are
wanted to connect the several branches of the family.

DOGGETT-DAGGETT.
DERIVATION AND ORTHOGRAPHY.
The name "Dogoett" seems quite distinct from "Duckett" and
"Daggett," although possibly all may be from the same root.
Doggett and Duckett were often applied at different periods to the
same individual in early times, and the name "Doggett" has been
changed and continued as "Daggett" by people of the present day.
The larger part of the family in America, whether Doggett or Daggett,
must look for their ancestors to the Doggett family of England.
The name "Doggett" is one of the oldest surnames. It seems to
be a surname pure and simple. We do not find " de " prefixed to it
from which to conclude it to be a name derived from the name of a
place, as is so often the case with other surnames. Sir Walter Scott
thought it a fit name for a Saxon, for he makes a Norman noble say :
•'Here thou Dogget- warder son of a Saxon wolf-hound" [The Be-
trothed] . Many expressions of opinion have been made as to the
derivation of the name.
Lower, in his "Dictionary of Names," London, 1860, says :
" Doggett is an old London name probably corrupted from ' Dow-
gate,' one of the Roman gateways of the city. Ferguson makes it a
diminutive of the Icelandic ' Doggr' and the English ' Dog,' but no
such diminutive is found."
Robert Ferguson, in his " Teutonic Name System applied to P^am-
ily Names," London, 1864, imder the heading "The Brute and its
Attributes," says: "There are few names derived from the dog.
Doggett, which I before classed under this head, I must now with-
draw, as I think it belongs to the roots of Anglo-Saxon chigan, to be
of use or value."
As derived from the " Inner Man" we have from the Anglo-Saxon
dugan ; Old High German Uigan, to be virtuous, good, honorable ;
Anglo-Saxon thraw ; Old High German dmi, morals, behavior, —
probably the following :
2 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY. .
Simple forms — English, "Tiiggy," "Tuck," "Duck," etc.
Diminutives — English, " Duckling."
Compounds — English, " Duckett," " Doggett."
Compounds — French, "Duquet," " Douet," " Tugot," and
many others.
Many ancient endings, as "and" or " ead," prosperity, had
"war," " hait," "hood," converge in modern names into "et."
Prof. John Marshall Doggett, of Richmond, Va., formerly pro-
fessor of languages in Vanderbilt Universitj^, has made a special study
of the subject, and has announced his opinion that the name "Dog-
gett" is derived from the Aryan word "Dok" or "Dog," meaning
point or cut.
From this word comes, 1st, the Greek "Aoy-MA " (dogma, that is
a point out " doctrine ") ; 2d, Doc-eo (originally pronounced hard
Dok-eo) , that is, point out, show, teach ; Doc-umentum ; Duc-o dux
(leader, guide, shower), from which is derived Doge (possibly Duc-
quet) ; 3d, Dig (that is, to cut in), from which comes Duglas, possibly
Dagger and Dock (that is, cut, hence Docket), "dock-tailed," pos-
sibly Dog ; " Docket " Gallicized to Docquet ; 4th, Dogger (or sharp
cut-nosed fish).
Hence, "' Dogget," equal or derived from docket (or dock-hand,
that is. Docker)."
Sir George Duckett, Bart., in his "Memoirs of the Family of
Duket," called " Duchetiana," published in London, 1874, says :
"The famUy of Ducket derives clearly from that of ' Duchet,'
seated at the time of the English Conquest in the Duchy of Burgundy.
The surname of Duchet (Duket) is recorded in two of the Battle
Abbey Rolls."
The name is also found in the tenth year of the Conquest ; again
(as Duchet) in the oldest roll now extant next to Domesday, the
great Roll of the Exchequer, 60 or 70 years after the Conquest, com-
monly called the Great Roll, 1131 ; and it is recorded in a ver}'^ re-
markable manner in the " Chronicles of the Abbey of St. Albans,"
A.D. 1119.
A copious account of the Norman family of Duce is to be seen in
the " Annales CivUes et Militaires du Pays d'Avranches."
The name " Duc6 " is found as witness to two grants to Clerkenwell
Nunnery, founded by Henry I., A.D. 1100; but that of Duchet is
seen equally early, and the orthography of the name inclines us to
accept this as most probably the original name.
If at this early date, however, the Saxon pronunciation had not
affected the orthography of the name, as clearly as in after times
happened in the instances of Doket, Doget, Douket, Dokkyt, no better

DERIVATION AND ORTHOGRAPHY. 3
proof coukl be adduced tbat Duket was uot tbe original name,
than, pei'baps, tbe earliest authentic mention we find of it in the person
of one Herbert Ducbet (or Ducket, as he is styled in tbe entry) . The
Herbert in question was living in 1119, and in consequence of the in-
cident recorded in tlie " Gesta Abbatum S. Albani," he obtained tbe
cognomen of Duket as an alterative of bis previous name. From the
time of tbe Conqueror to the reign of Henry VII., and from tbat
aoaiu to tbe reign of Elizabeth, tbe name is found varied in different
ways according as tbe Saxon pronunciation came in time to prevail
over tbe Norman and to reappear as the common language of tbe
country.
Dutscbet Tuchet Tuschet
Duquet Duket Dukett
Doket Doget Doggette
Dowket Doucket
Duckett
Such appear at different epochs, the orthography of the name giving
apparently twenty-two variations.
At one period the name appears as " Doget." Under this last mode
of spelling the name is found in Lincolnshire, Norfolk, and else-
where, but (as also in the case of "Tuchet") only a few and excep-
tional instances.
Sir D. Hardy, on the orthographical variations of proper names of
persons and the arbitrary mode of spelling in ancient thiies, often
regulated by etymology, sound, or abbreviations, remarks tbat names
were Latinized or Gallicized, whenever it was possible to do so, ac-
cording to the fancy of tbe scribe, one document frequently exhibit-
ing material variations in the spelling of tbe same name, and to such a
degree that a person would scarcely be able to recognize the modern
name. The conclusion, therefore, is that the fault rested with the
scribe alone, whether writing from oral instruction or copying from
tbe original writ.
Nichols, in reviewing " Duchetiana," says the name was evidently
personal, uot local, and that it is derived from a race named Ducbet
(French), seated before tbe Norman Conquest in the Duchy of
Burgundj^.
Even as lately as 1601 there appears to be some confusion as
regards " Dogett " and "Ducket," for in Samuel Toddes' "Pedi-
grees of English Families " of tbat date, wherein what are evidently
the arms of the early Duckett family, be gives the name of Dogett,
and all through the pedigree he continues this style. There is noth-
ing, however, elsewhere to support the idea that any other of the
Dogett family bore such arms or mai-ried into the families mentioned
4 DOGGETT-DAGGf:TT FAMILY.
in the pedigree. Moreover, Sir George Duckett shows that the arms
were borne by the Duckett famil}', and accounts for Mr. Toddes'
reading by the many forms of orthography.
AYilliam Daggett, Esq., of Newcastle-on-Tyne, writing of the deri-
vation of the name of Daggett, says, his father " seemed to think it
meant ' a little Dagger,' but on the other hand I have been told it is a
Scandinavian (Danish) word meaning 'the dawn of day.' Lower
says Dagger is a Scottish surname, and it may be that Daggett is a
diminutive derived therefrom. I cannot, however, trace any part of
my family to North Britain."
THE FAMILY COATS OF ARMS.
The system of Heraldry can be traced to the beginning of the thir-
teenth century. The first assumer or grantee of a coat of arms took
that as his own distinguishing mark. It became hereditary in his
own family, and whoever afterward uses it proclaims himself a lineal
descendant from the person who first assumed it.
In the middle of the reign of Queen Elizabeth [1558-1603] the
only arms for the family are reported as those used by a family of
the name "Dogget" or "Doggett;" also spelled "Dogate" and
"Doget."
"It is a maxim with the heralds that the more simple a coat of
arms, the more ancient it is," and it is a maxim that eminently applies
to the arms of Doggett.
1. Dogate — Erm. on a bend sa. — three leopards' heads, ar-
gent.
2. DoGET [Kent] — Erm. — on a bend sa. — three talbots' heads,
erased or [another ar.].
Crest — on a chapeau a bull collai'ed and thereto a
bell pendant, proper.
3. DoGET [John Doget, merchant, London] — Two greyhounds
combatant, or, collared ar., bell pendant.
Crest — Unicorn's head, or.
4. Dogget [Honing, Serborne, and Wronger — Co. Norfolk] —
Gu — two greyhounds salient, combatant, or —
collared sa.
Crest — a lion's head gorged with a mural coronet,
sable.
5. Doggett [Norfolk] — Gules — two greyhounds combatant, ar-
gent, collared or.
THE FAMILY COATS OF ARMS. 5
6. DoGGETT — Sable — two greyhounds combatant, or.
7. DoGGETT — Same as Doget, first named.
8. Daggett — Ar. — two greyhounds in full course, gules, col-
lared, or.
9. Daggett — Or — on a chief azure, three crescents of the first.
Crest — an eagle displayed charged with a bezant,
gules.
10. Daggett [Roxby & Pickhill — Yorkshire] — Or — on a chief
azure, three crescents.
11. Daggett [Edinburgh] — Same as last.
Crest — a demi-talbot, sable-collared.
The "Duckett" coat of arms and crests are all entirely different
from that of Doggett of Norfolk or Kent.
The greyhound which figures so prominently on the arms of " Dog-
gett " is an animal which was not allowed to be possessed by any save
the princes and nobles untU only within a few years, comparatively
speaking. Upon the smooth surface of the monuments that adorn
the broad plains of Egypt, erected 1200 B.C., Ave find chiselled by the
side of his royal master the form of the gi-eyhound, which from that
time to this the sportsmen of the world have associated wath them in
the pursuit of game. The term "greyhound" is a corruption of the
word "gazehound," signifying that it pursues its game by sight and
not by scent. In ancient Cxreece and Rome he was the companion of
the nobles, and no household was considered complete in all its
appointments without him.
In such high esteem was this dog held by the nobles that the kill-
ing or even maiming of one was felony punishable with death.
The use of the greyhound is coursing. The great event in cours-
ing circles in England is the "Waterloo Cuj)," valued at £500, which
is run for at Altcar, near Liverpool, annually.
Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, in Queen Elizabeth's reign, was the fii'st
to compile a set of rules governing coursing, whereby points of merit
earned in the race could be properly awarded. Coursing has made
the greyhound the dog of the "British Isles." The greyhound signi-
fies swiftness, vigilance, fidelity.
A talbot is a kind of hound with a large snout and large, thick,
hanging ears.
The crescent is frequently used to distinguish the coat armor of a
second brother or junior family from that of the principal branch.

JOHN DAGGETT, OF PICKHILL, YORKSHIRE, AND
PHS DESCENDANTS.
Arms : Three crescents or, chief azure, field argent.
Crest: An eagle displayed gules, charged with a bezant.
Motto: Nil Desperaudum. [Granted 1730.]
" These arms were granted to our ancestor in the twelfth century.
He was in the wars of the Crusades, aud in one engagement captured
a prince of the Royal House opposed to him.
"This prince was ransomed for money, which is signified by the
Eagle being displayed and having the ' bezant ' on its heart. The
p]agle is the Royal sign ; the bezant on the heart means his life
redeemed for gold. (The bezant was the gold coin of Byzantium,
now Constantinople.)
"The three crescents denote three engagements during the wars.
These crescents are on a pale blue engrailed ground, the shield is
white, the motto ' Nil Desperandum,' or ' Never despair.' No family
in England has a more honorable or ancient origin." [Letter of
William C. Daggett to Thomas Daggett, dated December 8, 1880.]
"From the earliest time to which I have been able to trace them
(this branch) , they have been a purelj^ Yorkshire Family, and their
name has been spelt either Daggett or Dagget, the former almost
universally. I do not think they were akin to the Doggetts of East
Anglia." [William Daggett, Esq., of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.]

one of them himself, has thus celebrated in his Autobiography :
' ' There is scarce a second private family of nobility or gentry, either

ments of itself in any one church, cathedral or parochial, as remains
of the Cloptons in that of Melford in Suffolk [1638]."

WILLIAM DOGGETT, OF BOXFORD. 15
In the " Life and Letters of John Winthrop," Boston, 1864, is the
account of the death-bed of Thomasine Cloptou, wife of John Win-
throp and sister of Margaret Clopton, who married Thomas Doggett.
"It may help to fix in our mind the exact period at which it was
written if we remember that Shakspeare died the same year [1616]
at Stratford-upon-Avon, where he had lived in a house [New Place]
which had been built by Sir Hugh Clopton." In this account, as she
feels she is approaching the end she calls for her sisters : ' ' Then she
called for her sister Margerye whom she exhorted to serve God and
take heede of pride and to have care in hir matchiuge that she looked
not at riches and worldly respects but at the feare of God for that
would bringe hir comfort at hir death although she should meet with
many afflictions."
In the Collections of the Mass. Hist. Society, vol. 1, page 17i>, is a
letter of Thomas Dogett to John Winthrop :
" To the Right Wor" and his very loving brother Mr. John Winthrop, Esq., at
his liouse in Groton. dd
" Sr — I humblie thanke you f or yo"" loue towards me in all things, but es-
pecially in this, that you desire to helpe me w"> a chapman for my house and

be bound to pray for you and shall eu'' thinke myself e beholding vnto yo'' worpp.
I am to goe [God willing] w"' my vnckle Brand to London vppoti Monday morn-
ing, likewise to parley about the sale of it w"^ one or 2 gent but it is as yet free
for any man and there is no incumbrance uppon it but only a statute W'' my
vnckle Brand have, for monyes, w^'i he hath disbursed for me w"'' he will very
willingly release vppon the repaying of that mony w'^'^ is due to him ; my evi-
dence are all at London where I have also a plott of all my lands in pticular and
how many acres euery pticular field and close coteyne W^'' you shall there haue
[if you please].
"I have been bidden 1800 '' for it by 2 or 3, but my vnckle tliinks it to be
to littell and therefore he doth [I thanke him] forbeare me the longer that I might
take my best chapman. I would willingly haue 1900 '^ for it but vse mony and
chardges runn on and tlierefore rather than faile I will take 1800 '' for it.
"And thus w"> my loue remembred to yo'' worpp wishing all happiness to

From the Diary of Adam Winthrop, father of Gov. John Winthrop,
is the following regarding John Dogett :
"July 25, 1603 Rob' Sun-ey was maried to John Dogetts maide
Thomasin Hubbard.
" 1604 the xij* of Aprill Mr Clopton and Mr Dogett made an
awarde between me and Adam Wynthrop my nephew.
" 1606 The second of March being Sunday about vij of the clocke
in the evenynge the goodwyfe Dogett died.
" 1609 The first day of Novembre John Rawlinge kept a feast at
his nue house where Mr Thoms Tilney Mr Dogett and diu"^' others
dined."
That John Doget was a tenant of the Manor of Groton appears in
the assignment of the Lordship to John Winthrop by Adam, his father.

and goes on to make provision to meet the case until his son could
return.

Palace of Kenninghall Place, from which Mary of unhappj^ memory
was called to the throne in 1553. It is conjectured that this tree

WILLIAM DOGGETT, OF HERTFORDSHIRE. 37
At this time, 1815, he became head park ranger to Lord Claren-
don, taking the position made vacant by the death of his elder brother.
On the death of Lord Clarendon he resigned his position, and fol-
lowed his trade as carpenter to Lord Ebery, Moor Park, Rickemans-
worth, Herts., in which occupation he remained until his death in 1869.

William Doggett began his life as dog-boy under his father, and
then went into the stables of Mr. Peter Chutterbuck, New House,
Herts.
On June 20, 1842, he walked to London and engaged himself as
groom to the family of Mrs. Margetson, of Peckham Rye.
From there he soon went into the service of her son, a Bermondsey
leather manufacturer, and at his suggestion, in 1850, Mr. Doggett
established himself as a leather stripper and manufacturer on
Baalzephon, now Weston street.
The great success which has attended his efforts and the respect in
which he is held may be seen by an article which appeared in the
"Leather Trades Review" regarding the completion of his new ware-
house, in 1878,
As an illustration of the manner in which individual energy and
enterprise may affect the character and prospects of an entire industry,
the business of Mr. Doggett is referred to, as almost wholly
monopolizing the business of stripping, which formerly occupied
several small establishments. Mr. Doggett is mentioned as one of
the best known and respected members of the metropolitan leather
trades.
The success achieved by him is the more remarkable and en-
couraging by reason of the same having been self-acquked. Nothing-
is impossible to those who possess strong wills.
The building just completed (1878) stands as a monument to his
indomitable skill and energy.

Kent, England, September 22, 1721 ; married, first, before 1682,
Mary; she died 1712; married, second, .
Thomas Doggett was born in Castle street, Dublin, Ireland, and
made his first theatrical attempt on the stage of that metropolis, but
does not appear to have achieved any great success there.
He strolled the provinces before his talents procured him a fore-
most position upon the London stage, where he made his appearance
in 1691.
He has been described as a "little lively sprack man" who
"dressed neat and something fine, in a plain cloth coat and a bro-
caded waistcoat."
His name has been traced into the thirteenth century, when one
Gilbertus Dogget is mentioned in connection with an unpublished
"Pipe Roll" of the year 1261. (Search has been made in London
for this roll, but without success.)
Anthony Aston says he " was the most faithful and pleasing actor
that ever was," and " the best face-painter and gesticulator."
" He was the most original observer of nature of all his contempo-
raries," says Gibber.
He could paint his face to represent seventy, eighty, or ninety
years of age. Sir Godfrey Kneller told him one day that he excelled
him in painting ; for that he could only copy nature from the original
before him, but that he (Doggett) could vary them at pleasure and
yet keep a close likeness.
Aston says : "In behavior he was modest, cheerful, and complai-
sant ; he sang in company very agreeably, and in public very comi-
cally, and he danced the Cheshire Round full as well as the fam'd
Captain George, but with much more nature and nimbleness."
The same old writer says: "I have had the pleasure of his con-
versation for one year, when I travelled with him in his strolling-
company, and found him a man of very good sense, but illiterate ;
1 It is reported of one family of the Irish brauch of the Doggetts that one brother took the
side of Charles I., while another sided with Cromwell.
62 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
for he wrote me word thus : ' Sir, I will give you a hole instead of half
share.' While I travelled with him each sharer kept his horse and
was everywhere respected as a gentleman."
Dogget made his first appearance in London, after his prosperous
career as a stroller, in Bartholomew Fair ; and we append a copy of
the bill announcing it :
o
At Parke's and Dogget's Booth,
near Hosier Lane End, during the time of
BARTHOLOMEW FAIR,
Will be presented a new Droll, called
Fryar Bacox : or the Country Justice :
With the Humours of Toll Free, the Miller and his son Ralph
acted by ^Ir. Dogget.
With variety of Scenes, Machinery, Songs and Dances.
ViVAT Rex 16!)1.
In the year following he made a great hit as Solon in D'Urfey's
comedy of the " Marriage Hater Matched." The " Spectator," in a
paper which denounces ' ' the intolerable folly and confidence of
players" in " putting in words of their own," calls them " savages,
who want all manner of regard and deference to the rest of man-
kind, come only to show themselves, without any other purpose than
that of letting us know they despise us," and speaks of the acting of
Doggett, who scorned "gagging," in the highest terms, saying:
"There is something so miraculously pleasant in Doggett's acting,
the awkward triumph and comic sorrow of Hob in different ch'cum-
stances, that I shall not be able to stay away whenever it is acted."
The writer. Sir Richard Steel, adds his regret that the audience
do not recognize the refined subtilty of the actor's execution and con-
ception, but merely the coarse horse-play of his part.
His manner, though borrowed from none, frequently served as
model to many ; and he possessed that peculiar art which so very few
performers are masters of, uamel}^, the arriving at the perfectly
ridiculous without stepping into the least impropriety to attain it.
As a writer Mr. Dogget has left behind him only one comedy,
which has not been performed in its original state for many years,
entitled "The Country Wake" (1696). It has been altered, how-
ever, into a ballad farce, which has frequently made its appearance
under the title of " Flora " or " Hob in the Well."
Dogget was joint manager of Drury Lane Theatre, in conjunction
with Colley Gibber and Robert Wilks. In 1697 Dogget, having some
cause of complaint against the patentee of Drury Lane Theatre,
threw up his engagement and went to Norwich.
In those days the power of the Lord Chamberlain over theatres and
actors was without limit, as may be gleaned from the following story :
THOMAS DOGGETT, OF DUBLIN. 63
Powell, the actor, being discontented with his position at Drury Lane,
accepted an engagement at the Duke's Theatre, in Lincoln's-Iun
Fields, where Bettertonwas one of his lordship's personal friends and
favorites. Shortly after, he determined to return to his old post at
Drury Lane, and did so, when the Lord Chamberlain sent a
"messenger" to seize and convey him to prison; and he was confined
for two days in the Porter's Lodge. As with Powell so with Dogget.
The patentee complained and a messenger was despatched to Nor-
wich, who there seized Dogget and brought him to London. The
actor, proud to suffer in the cause of liberty, was not at all intimi-
dated, but weut cheerfully with the officer ; and finding his expenses
were to be paid took care to live well on the road, calling for the best
at every inn they alighted at. Arriving in town he appealed from
the Chamberlain to the Lord Chief Justice for his habeas corpus ;
and, aided by clever legal advice, fought the cause of the players
against the Lord .Chamberlain with such effect, that he not only
secured his own liberty, but brought censure down upon the head of
the capricious tyrant by whom both he and Powell were oppressed.
Dogget played Shylock to the great Bettertou's Bassauio. He
always acted Shylock as a ferociously comic character.
It may be remembered that Dogget was manager when, Colley
Cibber having given him offence, he fined him five shillings, and on
being informed by the treasurer that Colley was but an apprentice, not
yet in receipt of a salary, he replied, ' ' Then put him down for ten
shillings a week and forfeit him five," — an arrangement which gave
young Colley no small satisfaction and delight.
Congreve discerned Dogget's talents, and wrote for him Foudle-
wife in the "Old Bachelor," Su- Paul Pliant in the "Double
Dealer," and the very different part of Ben in "Love for Love."
He continued a joint manager with Wilks & Cibber of the Drury
Lane Theatre until 1712, when he, being disgusted at Mr. Booth's
being forced on them as a sharer in the management, threw up his
part in the property of the theatre, though it was looked on to have
been worth a thousand pounds per annum.
His great passion was stock-jobbing, and no man was better known
upon "'Change," for every moment he could spare from his pro-
fessional duties was passed there. He was obstinate and testy, and
impatient- of crosses and contradiction.
Dogget succeeded in saving a fortune sufficient to make him in easy
circumstances, and after the death of his first wife he married a lady
with a well-stocked purse. He then devoted himself to politics, and
became a " Whig."
He was a great friend of Steel and of Addison, and frequented the
great coffee-houses of that day.
64 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
He became a member of the Fishmongers' Company, and in loyalty
and gratitude, being a "Whig up to the head and ears," he gave a
waterman's coat and silver badge to be rowed for, in honor and com-
memoration of the accession of King George I. to the throne.
The date of this first contest was 1715.
As a lasting compliment to royalty as exemplified in the Han-
overian succession, he made arrangements in his will for a continuance
"forever of this annual contest. ' ' Ten pounds to be laid out pro-
viding a waterman's coat of cloth (orange color) of the value of
eighteen shillings, with a silver badge of the value of five pounds,
upon which shall be the impress of a white horse in such manner as
was used by Mr. Dogget in his lifetime, round the plate there shall
be, in fair letters, these words, ' The gift of Thomas Dogget, the
famous comedian.' " The prize was to be contested for by six young
watermen, who were not to have exceeded the time of their ap-
prenticeship by twelve months, and the claimants were to start off
upon a given signal at the time of the tide, when the current was
strongest against them, over a course of about five miles in distance
from the Old Swan at London Bridge to the AVhite Swan at Chelsea.
The Fishmonger Company's barge-master, resplendent in a cocked
hat and the livery of the company, officiated as umpire, and was
shown up in a cutter manned by watermen, the majority of whom
were coat-and-badge winners of previous years.
The following is the present [1879] value of the prizes for Dog-
gett's coat and badge :

On a glass window in Lambeth, on August 1, 1736, some one wrote
as follows :
" Tom Dogget, the greatest sly drole in his parts
In acting was certain a master of arts,
A monument left — no herald is fuller, —
His praise is sung yearly by many a sculler.
Ten thousand years hence, if the world lasts so long,
Tom Dogget must still be the theme of their song."
Motto for Thomas Dogget dancing the Cheshire rounds :
Ne sutor ultra crepidam.
Charles Dibdin was so amused with the sight of the contest for
Dogget's prize that in 1774 he brought out at the Hay market Theatre
THOMAS DOGGETT, OF DUBLIN. 65
a ballad opera entitled "The "Waterman; or, The First of August,"
the hero of which is Tom Tug, t\^ho sings the songs commencing,
"And did you never hear tell of a jolly young waterman," and
"Then farewell, my trim-built wherry."
A waterman who was inclined to be poetical wrote regarding the
race :
" Let your oars like lightning flog it,
Up tlie Thames as swiftly jog it,
An you'd win the prize of Doggett
The Glory of the river.
" Bendin ! bowing; strainin; rowin ;
Perhaps the wind in fury blowin ;
Or the tide again you flowin ;
The Coat & Badge for ever."
The race, of course, is an historical one, and, to a certain degree,
is but second to the Oxford and Cambridge contest for supremacy.
The men, we need scarcely add, are socially wide apart.
An interesting reminder of the first wife of the comedian is a very
curious quarto book MS. (British Museum. Add MS. 27,466-203-
613), the title-page of which is as follows: "Mary Doggett. Her
Book of Receits, 1682." The greater part is very beautifully
written.

GSi-. V. Hepzibah Doggett,^ born .Watertown, Mass. (?), 1643.
Of the parentage and date of birth of John Doggett no positive
proof has been found.
The fact that he came to America with Winthrop, and that Dog-
getts resided at Groton, from whence Winthrop came, would naturally
lead us to follow out the history of the family there to see if John
Doggett might not be one of them. In this search Martha Doggett
(No. 73), of Groton, who married Giles Fh-min, is found to have
come to America with Winthrop, while in the adjoining parish of
Boxf ord the Doggetts and Winthrops were connected by the marriage
of Thomas Doggett and Margaret Cloptou.
Of the Groton Doggetts named John, those of suitable age to have
come to America in 1630 can all be placed, but not so with the Box-

ford Doggetts ; for aiuoug tliem we have Joku, baptized November 4,
1602 (No. 58) , of whom the parish records give no further information,
and it is possible that he is the one who joined in the " Great Emi-
gration " in 1680. To describe this emigration, it is necessary to
have a general idea of the movements which led to the planting of the
Colony of Massachusetts Bay, in which John Doggett was one of the
pioneers.
In March, 1628, the Plymouth Company sold to a company of six
gentlemen in England the territory extending from a line three miles
north of Merrimac river to one three miles south of Charles river,
and from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. These gentlemen, with
others who became associated with them, obtained a charter for
thek company, which was called the " Massachusetts Bay Company,"
and in June, 1628, sent over a company of emigrants, who landed at
Salem, and commenced the settlement of that ancient town.
In July, 1629, it was proposed to transfer the government of the
plantation from England to the colony, "to those that shall inhabit
there."
On August 29 it was determined by a vote that the "government
patent should be settled in New England," and on the 19th of
October John Wiuthrop was chosen governor for New England.
John Winthrop was then in his forty-first year, having been born in
Edwardston, near Groton, in Suffolk, on the 12th day of January,
158§.
The considerations which induced Winthrop and the others to
come over to New England were of no mere private or personal
character. They had relation to the condition of England at that
day, its social, moral, religious, and political condition.
The spreading of the gospel and the convei'sion of the heathen
were foremost in the contemplation of the New England fathers.
Seventeen emigrant ships left England in the year 1630, of which
fourteen sailed before the 1st of June. On the 8th of April four
ships, the " Arbella," the "Jewell," the "Ambrose," and the
"Talbot," sailed from the Isle of Wight, bringing the governor
and others who afterward held prominent places in the early his-
tory of the colony.
The passengers who arrived in these ships were not satisfied with
Salem, and soon after landing went, on the 17th of June, to select
a place for settlement. Having selected the peninsula of Charles-
town for that purpose, they returned to Salem, and as soon as
preparations could be made the fleet proceeded from Salem to
Charlestown.
Soon after the removal of the emigrants from Salem to Charles-
town, a large portion of them, with Sir Richard Saltonstall as their
72 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
leader, accompauied by Rev. George Phillips as their pastor, pro-
ceeded about four miles up Charles river and commenced a settle-
ment, at first sometimes called Sir Richard Saltonstall's plantation,
but soon after by the court named Watertown. The exact date of
the settlement of Watei'town is not known, but it was probably
before the middle of July, 1630.
Bond, in his history of Watertown, says "that it is almost cer-
tain that for the first four years Watertown was the most populous
town in the colony, and it is not improbable that it continued so for
fifteen or twenty years."
As a full list of those who made up the " Great Emigration," or of
those who accompanied Sir Richard Saltonstall to Watertown, is not
known, we must infer from the records still in existence as to who
took part in these movements. From such evidence Savage and
other well-known antiquarians all agree that John Doggett came in
the same fleet with Winthrop, arriving in Salem sometime between
June 12 and July 2, 1630, according to which of the four vessels
brought him to New England. He removed with Sir Richard Salton-
stall, and was one of the earliest settlers of Watertown.
Watertown was more remote from tfie bay than either of the other
plantations begun that year, and was the first of the inland towns.
It was, however, upon the tide-water of Charles river, which Avas
there navigable for only small vessels. As the company of planters
who first went there was large, and as they were not compacted into a
village or dense population, like other early plantations, they must
have been scattered over a very considerable extent of territory.
The homestall of Sir Richard was situated on Charles river, within
that strip of territory which was taken from Watertown and annexed
to Cambridge in 1754, and was about a mile from the site of Harvard
College. Between the homestall of Sir Richard and the New Town
(Cambridge) line there was only one intervening lot, which belonged
to John Doggett and contained thirteen acres. This lot he sold to
Thomas Brigham in 1637, and it may have been his homestall from
his settlement there in 1630 to 1637, although I am inclined to think
his "homestall" during his residence in Watertown was the fifteen-
acre lot bounded north and west by the (Fresh) pond and Nicholas
Busby, south by highway, east by W. Paine, and probably embracing
the lot of the Fresh Pond Hotel.
The records of Watertown do not show that John Doggett took any
prominent part in the affairs of the town during the time he made it
his residence, as his name does not occur on the town records which
have been preserved.
October 19, 1630, John Doggett applied to be made " freeman," and
on May 18, 1631, he took the oath. [Col. Records, Vol. 1, pp. 62-3.]
JOHN DOGGETT, OF MARTHA'S VINEYARD. 73
In order for such admission, it was necessary to be a church mem-
ber, and for this reason there were some men liolding respectable
social positions who never were thus admitted, or not until advanced
age. It was not necessary, however, to be a church member or a
freeman in order to hold office in the town, or appointments from the
court. This could be done by taking the oath of fidelity.
The first church of Watertown was organized July 28, 1630, and
next after that of Salem is the oldest in the Colony of Massachusetts
Bay. Rev. George Phillips was the pastor until his death, which
occurred July 1, 1644.
After the small lots, the earliest grants by the freemen, July 25,
1636, were called the Great Dividend, and the fourth Great Dividend
began at the small lots and was bounded north by Cambridge line.
Of these, No. 12 fell to John Doggett and contained thirty acres,
which was afterward bought by Richard Wait.
Another grant made 163^^ shows among those who received land
in the Further Plain (in later times called Waltham Plain) , bounded
south by Charles river, north by the Great Dividends, the name John
Doggett, six acres, which was afterward bought by R. Wait.
In a volume of the Town Record, containing the schedule of
possessions, is a list of grantees of the town plot, of which John
Doggett had six acres, recorded in the division dated April 9, 1638.
Pequusset Meadow was divided into numerous small lots, of which
J. Doggett had two acres, which was afterward bought by John
Flemming.
Thus during his residence in Watertown John Doggett gradually
increased his landed possessions, and was doubtless busily engaged
in agricultural pursuits.
Among his fellow-townsmen with whom he became associated was
Mr. Thomas Mayhew, who probably arrived in 1631. For the en-
suing thirteen years, it appears by the Colonial Records that few, if
any, other persons so often received important appointments from
the General Court as Thomas Mayhew.
He built the first bridge over Charles river ; was temporarily pro-
prietor of the mill, of the fishing- weirs, of the Oldham farm, and of
the Bradstreet farm, in Cambridge Village (now Newton).
October 10, 1641, James Forett, agent of the Earl of Sterling,
granted to Thomas Mayhew, of Watertown, merchant, and to
Thomas Mayhew, his son, Nantucket and two small islands adjacent ;
and on the 23d of the same month he granted to them Martha's
Vineyard and the Elizabeth Islands.
The Government Mayhew shall set up shall be such as is now established in
the Massachusetts, aforesaid and to enjoy as much privilege touching their
plantg inhabiting and enjoying of all and every part of the premises, as by the
patent to the patentees of Massachusetts.

The Mayhews having received grants of these islands proceeded to
arrange for their settlement, by sharing with several others the
privileges granted to them. Among theii" fellow-townsmen of
Watertowu who became interested in the project was John Doggett,
as appears in the following record :
Whereas Thomas Mayhew sen and Thomas Mayhew Jr, have granted to
tliem by James Forett Marthas Vineyard and Elizabeth Isles,
This is to certify, that we, Thomas and Thomas 2'"', do hereby grant unto
John Doggett, Daniel Pierce, and Richard Beers and John Smith and Francis ^
Smith, with ourselves, to make choice for the Present of a large Town, upon the
same terms with us and equal possession administration of all that shall present
themselves to come to live upon any part of the whole grant of all the Islands
and we grant also to them and their associates with us, to receive another town-
ship for posterity upon the same terms as we have from the Grantees.

The Vineyard, called in early records Martin's Vineyard, is nine-
teen miles long and, upon an average, five miles broad. It is gen-
erally level, though in the northern and western parts the land rises
into hills of two hundred and fifty feet above the adjacent country.
There is a plain in the southern part, upon which Edgartown is
situated, eight miles in length and five or six in breadth, and it is the
site selected " for the Tresent of a large Town," to which was given
the name of Edgartown. The point of the Vineyard nearest Boston
is but little over eighty miles.
Dr. Freeman, when writing of the Vineyard, says that " Not less
than three thousand Indians, it has been generally estimated, were
on the island when it was entered by Mayhew." " Like the other .
savages of New England, they were in a low state of civilization ;
and they had attained few of the arts which contribute to the com-
fort of human life." They were, however, a liospitable and tractable
people, and among them the younger Mr. Mayhew attempted to intro-
duce the gospel. Several English families began a settlement and
gathered a church as early as 1641, of which Thomas Mayhew, Jr.,
was pastor.
" The savages received Mr. Mayhew with kindness, and with
readiness listened to his exhortations. The wonderful progress which
the Christian religion, through the zeal of this eminent evangelist and
his worthy successors, made in Martha's Vineyard surprised and
delighted the pious of that age." "The Indians were converted to
JOHN DOGGETT, OF MARTHA'S VINEYARD. 75
the Christian faith, and attempts were made to reduce them to a state
of civilization."
Thomas Mayhew, Sr., and John Doggett still continued to reside
at Watertown, while the younger Mr. Mayhew began his work and
the settlement of the island in 1641. The following year (1642)
John Doggett takes the next step toward removing to the island, as
appears in the following grant :
We do hereby grant, unto John Dogget of "Watertown and to his heirs and
assigns forever, twenty acres of land upon the point beginning at the great
stone next to my lot and twenty acres of meadow and also Five hundred acres
of land for a farm he have liberty to take up, wherever he the said John Dogget
wishes only provided lie take not up his farm within three miles of the spring
that is by the harbor in ray lot aforesaid before I, that is Thomas Mayhew, the
elder, have made choice of twenty acres of meadow and a farm of Five liundred
acres for myself, the which first choice not being made within one year, ensuing
the date hereof, then the said John Dogget have liberty to choose for hhnself .

. [Dukes Deeds, 1-189.]
It does not appear that John Doggett moved directly to the Vine-
yard, but instead made his home for a time at the new settlement at
Rehoboth.
John Doggett, husbandman, was one of the earliest settlers of
Rehoboth, Mass., which comprised in its greatest extent the present
town, together with Seekonk, Pawtucket, Attleboro', Cumberland,
R.L, and that part of Swansea and Barrington which was called ^by
the Indians Wannamoiset. It does not appear that any general or
permanent settlement was made here earlier than about the year
1643 ; and it was after this that John Doggett joined the settlement,
at the time of removal from Watertown, possibly as a step toward
his settlement at Martha's Vineyard. The first notice that we find of
him in Rehoboth is :
The 8"i of the 8"i mo. 1646 at a general meeting of the town upon public
notice given, it was agreed that John Doget shall have all the lands that were laid
out for John Meggesand because there was no lot laid out for him upon the great
plain, it was agreed upon that he shall have both his allotments according to
the estate upon the great plain and to begin upon the south side.
The 9th of the 12th mo., 1646, at a meeting of the townsmen,
John Dogget and others were made choice of "to view the fence of
the town lots."
The same day it was agreed that Edward Sale, John Dogget,
William Sabin, John Peram, and William Thayer shall have leave to
setup a "weier" upon the cove before William Devill's house, and
one upon Pawtucket river.
76 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
It is also of interest to read that by this agreement " they shall sell
their alwives at 2s. a thousand, and their other fish at reasonable
rates."
The 18th of the 12th mo., 1646, at a meeting of the town, it was
agreed to draw lots for the new meadow, and John Dogget drew
No. 40.
The 12th of the 2d mo., 1648, at a general meeting of the town,
upon public notice given, John Dogget and Robert Titus were chosen
deputies for the towne. [Bliss Hist. Eehoboth.]
The records at Plymouth, dated June 7, 1648, give the committee
for the court for Rehoboth as Robert Titus, John Dogged. [Court
Orders, 2-164.]
June 7, 1648, at Plymouth, among the names of those who were
propounded for freemen, was John Dogged. [Court Orders, 2-167.]
The same, day his name is recoi'ded among those that were to take
the oath. [Court Orders, 2-166.]
Again, on the same day, he was appointed surveyor of the high-
ways for Rehoboth, and during that year he was also an exciseman.
The same date, it is recorded that:
Whereas it doth apeer, yt ther is a debt of five pound and eight shillings
apertaining unto Georg. Wright in the hands of John Dogged of liehoboth the
court have ordered yt the said debt remayne atached in the hands of .John
Dogged aforesaid for the use of Leiftenant Nash and Sergeant Church in con-
sideration of the damage befaliug them by the above said Georg Wright, the
breaking of his bonds for the good behavior.
It would seem that leaving his son John at Rehoboth, he removed,
about this time, to the Vineyard, where it is possible his son Thomas
had already settled.
The early records on the Vineyard are quite imperfect, and, aside
from the wills and deeds, those that have been preserved are mostly
in the collection of the late Hon. Richard L. Pease, of Edgartown,
Mass.
It is probable, after his arrival here, John Doggett was occupied
much the same as at Watertown, in agricultural pursuits, and in
making his home in the new town, which they laid out and called
Edgartown.
March 29, 16.51, the town chose him corporal.
1652. "Ordered that Mr. Mayhew, ye elder, and John Doggett,
shall lay out all highways belonging to this town."
October 31, 1654, vote regarding John Doggett's ram.
June 5, 1655, he was chosen assistant for the year.
John Doggett went from Martha's Vineyard to Nantucket in 1659,
for the purpose of gunning, where he lived as boarder with Thomas
Macy,>the first English settler on Nantucket.

2 Oct 1662 At this court [Plymouth] John Doged of the Island called
Martins Vineyard complained against the towne of the said Vineyard in an action
of the case for the title of a certain pcell of land granted unto the said John
Dogged by Mr. Thomas Mayhew . . . which the said inhabitants doe un-
justly and illegally disturbe him in his quiet enjoyment of the same which said
case is by joynt consent on both ptyes refered to the determination of the court.
The Jury find for the plantiff the full title granted him by Mr Thomas Mayhew,
Senr. [Rec. of Mass. Bay in N.E., Vol. VII., p. 104.]
Jan. 29, 1665 There was a purchase of commonage of grass also ^2 of ^^^ 5
of lot next the sea that faleth to the town upon the Island called Martins Vine-
yard these several things being purchased by John Doggett the Elder from
Towanicut the sachem thereof and delv'd the same over into the hands of the
Townsmen. [Dukes Deeds, 1-354.]
These few facts are all that have been found relating to his resi-
dence on the Vineyard. It is probable that his wife died and was
buried here, but there are no records foimd of the date or place.
He was married again at Plymouth, Mass., August 29, 1667, and
was then called "John Doged of Martins Vineyard,"
After his marriage to Bathsheba Pratt, he probably resided most
of the time at Plymouth, and the records there under date 1670, May
29, mention him as John Doggett, Senior, of Plymouth, transcribed
on the list of " freemen."
In the Dukes County Deeds, 1-321, is " The record of John

John Doggett was one of the early settlers of Rehoboth. The
record of his family may still be seen in the town book, and the
following is a tracing from the original entry :

DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
^
He does not appear, from the records examined, to have taken any
part in public affairs until June 1 1658, when he was " on the grand
enquest." This year (1658) he took the oath of fidelity in Reheboth.
"June 22, 1658. At a town meeting lawfully warned, lots were
drawn for the meadows that lie on the north side of the town (now
in Attleboro') , and lot No. 34 fell to John Dogget." [Bliss, Reho-
both.]

"June 1, 1668. John Doged of Rehobotli beiug by Capt Willett
convicted of 2 lyes, is fined 20 shillings." [Court Orders, 4-48.]
In 1666 a purchase of lands in the north side of Rehoboth (became
afterward Attleboro') was first called the North Purchase, and of the
seventy-nine shares in the land John Doggett had one share.
Oct 16, 1666. John Doggett, John Woodcock and John Titus were chosen
by the town to see what timber trees are fallen on the late purcliased lands on
the north side of our town and they shall have the forfeiture for their pains and
the trees to those that the land shall fall to.
May 26, 1668. John Doggett drew a lot in the meadow lands in
the North Purchase.
July 7, 1668. John Doged begins suit against George Robinson,
for slander, and George Robinson makes acknowledgment to the
court :
I George Robinson acknowledge I have done John Doged wronge, in speaking
words that tend to his defamation, for which I am sorry, and I had not ground
so to report him in the case now depending in the court and therefore desire him
to passe it by. [Mass. Col. Rec, Vol. VIII., p. 147.]
"March 2, 166|. Cap' Thomas "Willet complained against Mr.
John Doged and John Miller, in an action of trespas, on the case to
the damage of five pounds, for making and carrying away a p'cell of
hay from lower Skesett the last hay season without his leave and
order." Marked in margin, " This action was withdrawn."
Among the names of those who drew for a division on the North
Purchase, March 18, 166f, was John Doggett. [Daggetts, Attle-

a warehouse and wharf at the water side.
June 5, 1672. He was surveyor of highways.
June 3, 1674. Was sworn as constable.
During King Philip's war Rehoboth was much disturbed, and
many of her residents killed, and their houses burned by the Indians.
At one period of the war advances of money were made, and John
Dogget contributed £11 Is. 3^d.
At the death of his father John Dogget came into possession of
land on Martha's Vineyard, and the records on the Vineyard speak
of him sometimes as Doggett and others as Daggett, the first indica-
tions of such change in spelling being found on those records.
May 29, 1675. He sells Joseph Daggett land at Edgartown.
[Dukes Deeds, 1-280.]
This tendency on the Vineyard to change in spelling is perhaps

bettei' illustrated by an exchange of lands between him and his
brother, October 9, 1677, when:
John Dogget of Rehoboth sells land at Rehoboth 22 acres, to his brother
Thomas Dogget of Edgartown on Marthas Vineyard, his brother to take choice
of one of 3 lots, signed by John and Anne Dogget (Bristol Deeds, 1-22), and
Thomas Daggett, of Edgartown, sells land on the Vineyard, late belonging " to
my father John Doggett deceased with the bounds as made lately between my
brother John myself and my brother Joseph Daggett to mj' brother John
Daggett," Thomas Doggett releasing all rights. Signed Thomas and Hannah
Daggett. [Dukes Deeds, 1-323.]
2 June, 1685, John Dogget was surveyor at Rehoboth.
In a list of the inhabitants of Rehoboth, holding land under a cer-
tain grant, February 7, 1689, his name is mentioned as John Daggett,
and afterward so spelled on the records at Rehoboth, A point of
land between Ten-mile river and the Pawtucket, upon the north side
of the former, is mentioned by Bliss as the probable location of a
point called " Daggett's Point."
August 5, 1692, John Daggett of Rehoboth, in the Province of Mass. Bay in
N.E. for 85£ paid by James Allin of the town of Chilmark, on Marthas Vine-
yard, land in the township of Edgartown 330 acres near farm pond. [Dukes
Deeds, 1-151.]
This is probably his portion in his father's estate, together with
the portion he bought of his brother, October 9, 1677.
Feb. 1, 170|. Sells John Dagget of Chilmark on Marthas Vineyard, 25 acres
land in Attleboro. [Bristol Deeds, 5-246.]
In the Bristol probate records, October 1, 1707, Nathaniel Dag-
gett, son and executor of John Daggett, late of Rehoboth, deceased.

Thomas Doggett married the eldest daughter of Governor Mayhew.
The Mayhew family were prominent in the management of affairs
on the island, and most of the early records now existing are in the
handwriting of members of that family.
JOHN DOGGETT, OF MARTHA'S VINEYARD. 83
These records are the first showing a tendency to spell the name
" Daggett," but for several years both spellings are used.
Long after the name was spelled Daggett on the Vineyard (in the
Registry of Deeds), the son Thomas was called Doggett in the
Bristol county records, and I should therefore be inclined to
the opinion that the Thomas Doggett who married Hannah Mayhew
may not have himself called his name Daggett until near the close of
his life.
November 11, 1652. He and "William Weeks are voted whale
cutters for the year.
In 1652 he was living in Edgartown, as at that time " Richard
Arey hath given him, a house lott between Mr Burchard and Thomas
Daggett's." [Hon, R. L. Pease.]
August 3, 1670. Thomas Doged was clarke to the court at the
Vineyard. [Plymouth Records.]
June 20, 1671), he promises whatever Thomas Mayhew shall give
to his daughter Hannah (his wife) , she shall be at liberty to dispose
of as she likes. [Dukes Deeds, 1-32.2.]
The Dukes and Bristol county deeds contain many transfers of
land made by both Thomas and Hannah Daggett.
Thomas Daggett is said to have been at one time magistrate of the
island.
March 18, 1691. Hannah Daggett, wife of Thomas Daggett, of Edgartown.
for 30£, paid by son Thomas Daggett, late of the town of Bristol, in N.E. f of
;^ of all the lands given me by the Worshipful! Thomas Mayhew Esq late of
Marthas Vineyard dee'd. The whole 1^ mile by the sea side, and about 2 miles
inland, called Chickomo. [Dukes Deeds, 5-84.]
Thomas Daggett died between March 18 and September 15, 1691,
probably at Edgartown, but there are no records there to show the
exact date.
Even the probate records do not assist, as they are very imperfect,
and contain no mention of the settlement of his estate.
That he left no will is shown by a record in the Registry of Deeds,
1-221, where his son Thomas gives Israel, his brother, land,
regarding which he says :
Lands which came to me the said Thomas, as heir to said Thomas Daggett,
as well from the knowledge of the intent of my said father, had Providence
allowed him making a will.
Dated September 15, 1691.
Between September 12, 1695, and 1705, Mrs. Daggett married
Capt. Samuel Smith, of Edgartown, and died in Edgartown, 1722.

about 1634 ; called his name Daggett ; married an Indian of Martha's
Vineyard.

Cottle. ■«
Joseph Doggett probably removed from Watertown to the Vine-
yard at an early age. The only information regarding him is found
on the records at the Vineyard, and in the majority of cases his name
is spelled Daggett.
One instance, however, in the deeds, 1-322, May 29, 1675, is
marked in the margin in pencil, "apparently original signatures,"
and in that case his name is spelled "■ Dogget." In all other cases
the name is in the handwriting of the one who made the record, and
is sometimes spelled one way, and at other tunes the other.
I should be inclined to the opinion that in this case, as with his
brother Thomas, he may not have himself called his name Daggett;
but if so, not until near the close of his life.
The name of his wife does not appear, but the following deed to
his two daughters would indicate that his wife may have been an
Indian :
Know all men by these presents that I, Puttuspagun, of Sanchacantackett, do
freely give unto my cousins Hester and Ellis Daggett, a certain tract of meadow
lying and being on the north side of Ohkeshkepe Neck, lying between Quaniamo
and the western end of Asanostackitt Pond. I say, I do freely and firmly give,
all the meadow with all the nookes and coves lying between the mentioned bounds, '
to my abovementioned cousins, their heirs and assigns, to have and to hold, for-
ever free from me, my heirs or assigns, and this I do and have done for the
natural love and affection to them, being of my near kindred, always to be
understood that if they cannot enjoy the said meadow by reason of the English
claim, that then it shall return to me or my heirs. And in witness, and in con-
firmation of the premises, I have hereunto subscribed with my hand and put to
my seal this five and twentieth day of March and in the year of our Lord, one

Many transfers of land are recorded in the name of Joseph Dag-
gett, and he is mentioned as wheelwright, yeoman, husbandman, and
gentleman.
Judge Sewall, in his Diary, under date of Monday, April 6, 1702,
says : " Refresh at Chases, from thence ride to Tisbury, first man I
speak with is Joseph Dogget. He tells me Mr. Kithcart keeps an
ordinary."
He seems to have lived in Tisbury until sometime between Sep-
tember 11, 1711, and June 24, 1715, when he is called of Edgartown.
The last record of him that has been found is March 5, 1720, when
he is called one of the proprietors of Tisbury laud. [D. D., 5-210.]

86 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
Dr. Joseph Doggett resided in Rehobotli, Mass., where he appears
to have practised medicine, and also to have been wheelwright and
miller.
Among the Rehoboth soldiers who served in King Philip's war
was Joseph Doggett, wiio was engaged in the Narragansett expedi-
tion in 1676. [Bliss, Rehoboth.]
Oct. 27, 168G, he buys with his brother Nathaniel, and Thomas Daggett, Esq.,
of Edgartown, 50 acres of land, on both sides of the Ten Mile river, at the falls,
in the North Purchase. [Bristol Deeds, 5-84.]
This was the land immediately around the falls, including the
privilege.
" The first mill built at the falls was a corn mill, owned and occu-
pied by Joseph Daggett. This was doubtless the first mill in town."
[Daggett's Hist. Attleboro'.]
February 7, 1689. Joseph Daggett is named in a list of inhabi-
tants and proprietors of Rehoboth holding land under a grant from
William Bradford. In 1690 he killed a wolf.
Gay Head, on Martha's Vineyard, with its high-colored and varie-
gated earth, suggested at an early day the existence of minerals.
August 17, 1692, Joseph Daggett, of Kehoboth, and Samuel Gaskell, of Boston,
buy of Thomas Harlock and Hannah Daggett, the right to search for mines or
minerals, precious stones, &c., at Gayhead. [Dukes Deeds, 1-184.]
" March 30, 1703, the town [Attleboro'] voted that Joseph Daggett,
of Rehoboth, have the privilege that the stream at the Ten Mile river
falls shall go free of all sorts of taxes until a corn mill has the con-
stant custom of threescore families." [Hist. Attleboro.]
The will of Dr. Joseph Daggett, of Rehoboth, is dated December
23, 1726, and was proved March 21, 172f.
In it he mentions his wife and children, and appoints his wife Mary
Daggett executrix. [Bristol Probate.]
688. Nathaniel Doggett^ {John,'' JoJin'), born Rehoboth,
Mass., middle of August, 1661; called his name Daggett; died
Rehoboth, Mass. (?), 1708; married Rehoboth, Mass., June 24,

"February 7, 1680, Nathaniel Daggett mentioned in a list of the
names of the inhabitants and proprietors of Rehoboth holding land
under a grant to William Bradford." [Bliss, Rehoboth.]
In a purchase of land at Rehoboth in 1694, he is called Dogget,
while in another purchase in 1695 his name is spelled Daggett.
In the Bristol probate flies are several papers relating to the settle-
ment of the estate of Nathaniel Daggett :
His will, dated Feb. 5, 1708, in wliich his wife is named executrix.
An inventory of the estate of Nathaniel Daggett, left him by his father John
Daggett, in reversion, after his mother's decease. Dated Dec. 30, 1708.
Rebecca Daggett, his widow, did not long survive him, and in the
Bristol Probate is an
Inventory of the estate of widow Rebecca Daggett, late of Rehoboth,
amounting to £121 2s. 15d., and dated April 27, 1711.

Captain Thomas Daggett, cai-penter, gentleman, seems to have
been called, like others of his family, both "Doggett" and "Dag-
gett." The existing records at Bristol speak of him as the first, and
those at Edgartown always as the last.
The records of the Church of Christ at Bristol, R.I. (formerly
Mass.), mention, July 22, 1688, the baptism, by Rev. Samuel Lee,
of Samuel and Hannah Doggett, children of Thomas Doggett. [Gen.
Register, Vol. 34, p. 132.]
88 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
The exact date of his settlement at Bristol has not been found, but
is supposed to have been about 1685. Possibly he was previously
at Rehoboth, and the Thomas who was constable there, June 3, 1684.
February 11, 168f. Among the list of families in New Bristol,
copied from original records of the " Church of Christ in Bristol," is
Thomas Doggett, his wife, two children, and two servants. [Gen.
Register, Vol. 34, p. 405.]

land, carpenter, and Elizabeth his now wife, for 16£ paid by Thomas Walker of
Bristol, Tanner, land in Bristol at the south end of the town, bounded west by
the street, being an estate of inheritance, recorded May 16, 1695. [Bristol
Deeds, 2-150.]
He removed from Bristol to Edgartown between December 30,
1689, and March 18, 1691, or just before the death of his father.
March 18, 1691. Samuel Daggett of Marthas Vineyard, for 20£ paid by his
brother Thomas Daggett, late of the town of Bristol, in New England, sells all
his rights at Chicomo. [Dukes Deeds, 5-84.]

and Jos. Baston, 16 X 20 rods, also xko^^^ part of 600 acres land laid out for
common. Recorded Aug 11, 1713. [Bristol Deeds, 7-650.]
Among the many transfers of land in which he was one of the
parties he is mentioned as Lieutenant Daggett until 1697, and then as
Captain Daggett, beginning with a deed in 1705.
The only information that has been found regarding the life of
Captain Daggett is what may be gathered from the deeds, with the
single exception of a memorandum of him, which is found in the
Diary of Rev. William Homes, of Chilmark : "Aug 28, 1726, On
Thursday night last Capt Thomas Daggett of oldtown [Edgartown]
departed this life. He had been ill several weeks. He was a peace-
able man and well inclined, and of good understanding."
The will of Captain Daggett is dated July 8, 1726, and by it he gives son
Samuel's children, he being deceased, ^ the land that was his fathers homestead ;
son Thomas Daggett the other half of the homestead ; son Timothy Daggett land
at Edgartown; son Benjamin Daggett land at Edgartown; loving wife Elizabeth;
six daughters Hannah, Elizabeth, Thankful, Mary, Jemina, Desire, gives them
i the stock, cattle, sheep and horses; 3 living sons Executors. Proved Oct.
1726. [Dukes Probate, 1-14, 15.]
Inventory recorded May 12, 1727; real estate valued at £1393.

Deacon John Daggett, yeoman, tanner, and innholder, was prob-
ably born in Edgartown, Mass. He resided there until sometime
previous to February 8, 1683, when
" John Daggett late of Edgartown on Marthas Vineyard " sells " 10 acres of
land which the town of Edgartown gave me," to " my father Thomas Daggett of
Edgartown." [Dukes Deeds, 5-72.]
February 20, 169i. John Daggett releases any claim he might
have to estate of his mother, Hannah Daggett, " located near the
Gurnet." [Dukes Deeds, 1-104.]
March 17, 1693. John Daggett of Prudence, on Marthas Vineyard, buys 14
acres land on road from Tisbury to Holmes Hole, from his brother Joshua
Daggett. [Dukes Deeds, 1-225.]
March 17, 1693. John Daggett of Prudence, on Marthas Vineyard, buys 80
acres land of his brother Joshua Daggett. [Dukes Deeds, 1-315.]
Prudence, which is here named as his residence, was a portion of
Tisbury, and the records speak of " the mannour of Tisbury, com-
monly called Chilmark," so that although each of these places is
named at different times as his residence, it is probable that after
leaving Edgartown he resided during his residence on the island in
what is now called Tisbury.
Sept. 12, 1695. Hannnh Daggett, widow of Cap' Thomas Daggett, late of
Edgartown, on Marthas Vineyard, in consideration of love, and natural affection,
for her son John Daggett, of Marthas Vineyard, gives him land at the Vineyard.
[Dukes Deeds, 1-389.]
The following deeds are of the first purchases of land made by
him in Attleboro' :
Nov 12, 1701 Israel Daggett, of Marthas Vineyard, for 40£, paid by John
Daggett of Marthas Vineyard, his brother, land in Attleboro, 25 acres at the
falls. [Bristol Deeds, 15-505.]
Feb. 1, 170 J. John Daggett, of Rehoboth, sells 25 acres land in Attleboro, to
John Daggett, of Chilmark, on Marthas Vineyard. [Bristol Deeds, 5-246.]
July 28, 1704. Thomas Butler, of Chilmark, sells John Daggett of same
lands and meadow in Rehoboth, and Attleboro, County Bristol, formerly in tenure
90 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
of Thomas Doggctt, Esq: late deceased, and Israel Daggett, his son, excepting
only those lands and marshes, which were sold by Israel Daggett, or Thomas
Butler. [Bristol Deeds, 4-304.]
June 10, 1711. John Daggett, of Chilmark, yeoman, and Mayhew Daggett,
of Attleboro, County Bristol, yeoman, bind themselves to John Devotion, of
Attleboro, in the sum of 200£. [Bristol Deeds, 7-267.]
Mayhew Daggett, as seen in above, having preceded his father in
the removal to Attleboro', may have been an inducement to hasten
the removal of the family there.
The purchase of the farm to which the family removed was on
July 10, 1711, " when John Devotion, of Attleboro', for 400£, con-
veys farm in Attleboro containing 280 acres, bounded by Wrentham
line, to John Daggett, of Chilmark, Marthas Vineyard, with 25 acres
on 10 mile river, except 2 acres, the barn, and orchard, now in pos-
session of Penticost Blackinton ; also whole share in the undivided
lands in Attleboro." [Bristol Deeds, 7-27.]
John Daggett and famUy removed from Martha's Vineyard to Attle-
boro' between October 17, 1711, and December 24, 1712.
After the purchase of the farm at Attleboro' he sells much of his
land at the Vineyard.
Having removed to Attleboro', it would seem that he at once became
an innkeeper, and soon became interested in town and chiuch affairs.
His house is reported as being used as a garrison house.
His lands being located on the road from Boston to Rhode Island,
and his tavern a convenient stopping-place en route, he soon became
well known, not only to the people of Attleboro', but to all travellers
between Boston and Rhode Island.
" In 1720 Deacon John Daggett was representative of the town of
Attleboro." [Hist. Attleboro'.]
April 16, 1722. John Daggett of Attleboro, yeoman, for 550£ sells, Alex-
ander Maxcy of Gloucester, County Essex, yeoman, homestead farm in Attle-
boro, at a place called Ten Mile Eiver, to a place called M' Hope hill, 170 acres,
excejiting a small piece of ground 6 rods square, where the burying place now is,
which I, the said Daggett, reserved for my own use and the use of my neighbors.
[Bristol Deeds, 15-85.]
April 6, 1724, he sells 103 acres, on Ten Mile river, at the falls, to son May-
hew Daggett. [Bristol Deeds, 15-504.]
Deacon John Daggett died September 7, 1724, leaving a will
dated AprU 13, 1724, in which he leaves his property to his wife and
children. This will was proved October 20, 1724.
The inventory, dated September 28, 1724, amounts to £525 4s. Id.,
and mentions land at Martha's Vineyard and at Mansfield, Conn.
[Bristol Probate.]

burying-ground in Attleboro', there stands erect, in a good state of

Among the family papers of an old Boston family was found the
following epitaph, which has been sent the writer, and is supposed to
refer to Deacon John Daggett, and shows the retention of the original
spelling :
EPITAPH ON LANDLORD DOGGETT
Innholder at Attleborough.
Traveller
If ever dram to thee was dear,
Drop on John Doggett's grave a Tear ;
Who when alive so well did tend.
The Rich, the Poor, the Foe, the Friend ;
To every knock, and every call.
He said I'm coming unto all ;
At length Death knocks! poor Doggett cry'd.
And said "I'm coming Sir! and Dy'd.
After the death of her husband, Mrs. Daggett authorizes her son
to sell lands on the Vineyard :
Ang. 27, 1733. widow of John Daggett, of Attleboro, appoints Ebenezer
Daggett, her son, of Attleboro, Innkeeper, her agent, to sell all lands on Mar-
thas Vineyard, by her own and her husbands right. [Dukes Deeds, 5-388.]

sells 30 acres of land, at Holmes Hole, in Edgartown, being that tract his
father, John Daggett, bought of Thomas West, late of Holmes Hole Dec 18,

Mrs. Sarah Daggett, widow of Deacon John Daggett, married
Banfield Capron, December 16, 1735. She was his third wife. He

Account of Margaret Tree, late widow of Joseph Daggett, late of
Attleboro'. [Bristol Probate.]
JOHN DOGGETT, OF MARTHA'S VINEYARD. 95
Richard Tree and Margaret Daggett were married in Attleboro'
April 27, 1736, and had :
Eunice Tree, born Attleboro', January 30, 173f .
Levina Tree, born Attleboro', January 13, 1741 ; died Attleboro', January
13, 1741.
The records of the Massachusetts House of Representatives,
March, 1745, contain the
Petition of Kiehard Tree of Keboboth and others, heirs of Joseph Dogget,
late of Attleboro, deceased, showing that the real estate of said deceased was
distributed to Margaret, Hannah, the petitioners, and Simeon, his only son,
agreeable to Law, that the said Simeon Dagget (being then a minor) had his
uncle Israel Dagget, of Rehoboth, duly appointed his Guardian, who accepted
that trust ; that about 5 years since the said Simeon went abroad and has never
been heard of since and is probably dead, yet the guardian so appointed refuses
(though the said Simeon if living is 22 years of age) to deliver up the said
estate, or income thereof, to the petitioners, the true heirs, but converts it to
his own use. They therefore pray that said guardian be ordered to deliver pos-
session.
March 15, 1745. Ordered that the estate be distributed.
This petition and order was evidently premature, as the will of
Simeon Daggett, of Attleboro', dated August 20, 1746, calls himself
"mariner," mentions his sister Hannah and uncle Israel, and this
instrument was proved April 5, 1758, showing that he had returned
after the above order was passed.
The Bristol probate records also disclose the fact that Simeon
Daggett's mother, while a widow, gave him to his uncle John Dag-
gett, of Rehoboth, after which she married Richard Tree, and then
wanted him, to which he objected, August 25, 1736.

Col. John Daggett was one of the principal public characters and
leading men of Attleboro', especially during the trying period of the
Revolution.
He and Colonel May were the two on whom the town placed the
utmost reliance.
f
JOHN DOGGETT, OF MARTHA'S VINEYARD. 117
December 9, 1763, he was chosen clerk of the Propriety. He was
possessed of a strong and sound mind, and was marked by a resolute
and decided character.
He was a Puritan in the plainness and simplicity of his manners,
and was a firm friend to the civil institutions and republican customs
of New England.
September 12, 1774, he was chosen on the Committee of Safety by
the town, and on the 29th of the same month was chosen representa-
tive to the General Court at Salem.
December 6, 1774, the town established a Superior and an Inferior
Court to hear and determine controversies that have arisen or may
arise. Of the five men who were chosen superior judges, Colonel
)aggett was chosen second justice.
He took an early and decided stand in the commencement of those
proceedings which produced the Revolution.
One of the incidents in which he figured took place in December,
1774, when the Committee of Safety gave notice that one Aldrich, a
Tory, who lived in Franklin, Mass., was selling British goods contrary
to the resolutions of the General Court. Colonel Daggett issued
orders to the several companies of the town to furnish a certain num-
ber of men, who, being collected, marched on a bitter cold night for
the place of Aldrich's residence, to put a stop to the business. They
arrived late at night, and, surrounding his house, ordered him out.
After threatening to fire on each other, Aldrich at last came out, and,
after engaging not to vend any more British goods during the con-
troversy, was released.
On the 9th of April, 1775, occurred another expedition, which Col-
onel Daggett undertook for the purpose of seizing a deposit of arms
and ammunition, at Assonett Village (Freetown), which the Commit-
tee of Safety understood was collected there for the use of the
loyalists.
They discovered forty stands of arms and equipments in possession
of the Tories, together with a large quantity of ammunition, the whole
of which was taken by the patriots.
January 2, 1775, the town chose Col. John Daggett " to represent
lis at the Congress to be holden at Cambridge on the 1st of Feb.
next and to serve in that capacity until the month of May next
or until the time fixed for the dissolution of said Congress."
He was representative, 1768, 1769, 1770, 1771, 1772, 1773, 1774,
1775, 1781.
May 21, 1777, Colonel Daggett was on a committee appointed to
make a report relative to the new Constitution of the United States,
and on the following day was one of a committee to prepare instruc-
tions for the representative.
118 DOGGETT-DAGGETT EAMILY.
August 2, 1779, he was one of a committee of three, sent by the
town, to attend a convention at Cambridge, on the first of September
following, at which time was formed the present Constitution of
Massachusetts.
He was generally called to serve on the most important committees
which were raised in town meeting, to consider the many difficult sub-
jects which were then brought before the people during and subsequent
to the Revolution.
August 18, 1778, General Sullivan, during his expedition to Rhode
Island, requested the government of Massachusetts to send him reen-
forcement.
In compliance with this request, the orders were issued by the
council of the State, directing Colonel Daggett, of the Fourth Regiment
(including as now Attleboro', Mansfield, Norton, andEaston), to
take charge of the detachment. In obedience to these orders, a
regiment, consisting of nine hundred men, was formed out of the sev-
eral regiments, which repaired to Rhode Island and served under the
command of Colonel Daggett during the remainder of the campaign.
Colonel Daggett also commanded the regiment from Bristol county,
in Spencer's expedition. At home he was extensively employed as a
surveyor, and was engaged in various other kinds of public business,
such as the ordinary transactions of life requice between citizens.

Rev. Naphtali Daggett, D.D., President of Yale College, was the
second son among eight children.
His father dying while he was yet young, he was left under the
direction of a mother, who was, however, in every I'espect peculiarly
qualified to discharge the duties which devolved upon her.
He soon after commenced studies preparatory to college. He
entered Y''ale College in 1744, and graduated in 1748, at the age of
twenty-one.
He was distinguished during his college life for industry and close
application.
He was settled as minister of Smith town, on Long Island, in 1751.
In September, 1755, he was elected the first professor of divinity in
Y"ale College, which appointment he accepted, and removed to New
Haven, and was inducted into office on March 4 following. This
office he held during his life. After the resignation of Mr. Clap,
September 10, 1766, he officiated as president till April 1, 1777,
when he resigned the office, but still continued to hold that of pro-
fessor of divinity. The learned Dr. Stiles was his successor in the
presidency.
During the barbarous attack on New Haven by the British army, in
July, 1779, he took an active part in the defence of the country, and
was distinguished for his resolution and intrepidity.
He made himself obnoxious by his open and active op[)osition to
the British cause.
He had often inculcated upon the students under his charge, in
the pulpit and in the lecture-room, the duty of resistance to British
oppression. He had, therefore, incurred the special displeasure of
the invaders.
He had openly preached and prayed against the success of their
cause.
He knew no difference between preaching and practising, and when
the crisis came, he can'ied his own principles into action.
He shouldered his musket and went into the field with the rest, to
repel the invaders.
He was taken prisoner by the enemy. They beat and bruised him,
and offered him every indignity in their power. His clerical charac-
ter, in their eyes, was no exemption from the most outrageous abuses.
120 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
They demanded of him who he was ; he uuhesitatiugly replied : " My
name is Naphtali Daggett. I am one of the officers of Yale College.
I require you to release me." — " But we understand you have been in
the habit of praying against our cause." — " Yes, and I never made
more sincere prayers in my life." He was at first left for dead on the
ground. He was saved by the intrepidity of the lady into whose
house he had been conveyed. After the British had retired, an offi-
cer and a file of soldiers were sent back to convey him a prisoner on
board their transports. They came to the house and inquired for
him, and were answered by the lady, who appeared at the door and
resolutely refused to admit them, that he was so badly wounded it
would be impossible to convey him on board alive. " My orders,"
said the officer, "are positive to take him with me." — "But you
would not surely carry away a dying man ; he is now in the agonies
of death."
After repeated demands and refusals, the officer finally determined
to return and report the case to his superior, and ask for further
orders, but he never came back after his prisoner. He was taken
l)risoner, and came near losing his life.
Dr. Daggett died in consequence of the wounds he had received
on that occasion, November 25, 1780, at the age of fifty-three. He
presided over the university about eleven years, and held the office
of professor of divinity twenty-five years.
Possessed of a strong, clear, and comprehensive mind, he applied
himself with assiduity and success to the various branches of knowl-
edge, particularly to the learned languages and divinity.
Dr. Holmes, in his life of President Stiles, says : "He was a good
classical scholar, well versed in moral philosophy, and a learned
"divine." Clearness of understanding and accuracy of thought were
characteristics of his mind.
He received the honorary degree of Doctor in Divinity from -Yale
College, and also from Princeton. He published a sermon on the
death of President Clap, 1767 ; another delivered at the ordination of
Rev. Ebenezer Baldwin, 1770 ; and a third delivered at the ordination
of Rev. J. Howe, 1773. [Daggett's Hist. Attleboro'.]
Alden Bradford, in his notices of distinguished men in New Eng-
land, says of Dr. Daggett that " he was respectable as a theologian
and a general scholar. While he acted as president of the college,
it was in a prosperous state, and several of the alumni, distinguished
afterwards in public life, were educated while he was at the head of
that seminary. In his character as a scholar, we find indications and
traits rather of solid and useful learning than of brilliancy, or of
original genius. In that generation of men, there was more of a

Thomas Daggett probably removed to Tisbury about the time of
his marriage.
Dukes Deeds show the following sales of real estate, which he
made from time to time, having doubtless in view his removal from
the Island :
Feb. 19, 1765 he and wife Rebecca to Lemuel Butler and Hannah his wife
land in Chilmark. [Dukes Deeds, 9-444.]

Feb. 12, 1772 land in Tisbury to Lemuel Butler. [Dukes Deeds, 9-818.]
Brotherton Daggett says : "The Daggetts being strongly inclined
to move from Martha's Vineyard sent Thomas Daggett, Jr., to
Albany and the vicinity in New York to look up a farm. He was
not a judge of land, and returned without finding one to suit him.
"Thomas Daggett, Senr., came along the coast, went back from
Camden into the woods, and with some others was about to purchase
the whole of Appleton Ridge, except the proprietors' reserved lots,
" On going to the rear of the Ridge and seeing the Cedar Swamp,
his courage failed him, and he went home without concluding a
bargain.
" A year or two afterward Thomas Daggett, Jr., and Aaron Dag-
gett came to Union.
" They purchased the place since owned by Olney Titus, cleared a
piece, and sowed rye.
"In the fall they took as a specimen a box of soil from the land
now owned by Nahum Thurston, returned to Martha's Vineyard, and
spent the winter. ' -
"Their father, Thomas Daggett, Senr., was prevailed on to accom-
pany them to Union in the followhig May."
He bought May 29, 1789 — 700 acres of land in Union of Mason Wheaton
of Thomaston for 245£ and called himself of Tisbury. [Lincoln Deeds, 23-185.]
July 14, 1789 he and his wife Rebecca of Union sell 90 acres land in Union
to Samuel Daggett of Tisbury " cordwainer." [Lincoln Deeds, 25-111.]
The same date he of Union, gentleman, sells 100 acres in Union to Aaron
Daggett, of Union. [Lincoln Deeds, 26-164.]
128 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
Thomas Daggett came with his family to Union between May 29
and July 14, 1789.
"He landed at Warren. Everything seemed different from what
it was in May.
"He was a nervous man, and finding himself here for life he ex-
claimed, ' I am completely undone.' The forests looked formidable.
It was too woody for him. The family came to Union from Warren
in boats." [Sibley's Hist, of Union, Me.]
April 5, 1790, Thomas Daggett was one of a committee to hire
preaching, and served again on a similar committee March 7, 1796.
March 7, 1791, he was on a committee to receive and price lumber
for use in building a meeting-house.
May 7, 1792, one of the town's committee to make choice of a spot
for a meeting-house.
In 1798 he was " tithingman," and had pew No. 14, for which he
paid $20.50.
As regards the habits of the people at the church, Thomas Daggett,
Senr., Capt. Nicholson, and Ebenezer Daggett, consulting their own
convenience and comfort, were in the habit, even in meeting, of
wearing cotton caps which rivalled the snow in whiteness.
March 7, 1803, he with others, including the selectmen, were a
committee to confer with Mr. Gushee, respecting his settling there as
a minister.
When the Congregational church was organized, March 3, 1803, the
articles and covenant were signed by Thomas Daggett, Mrs. Rebecca
Daggett, and others.
June 24, 1806, Samuel Daggett was appointed administrator of
Thomas Daggett, late of Union, deceased, intestate. [Lincoln Pro-
bate, 9-102.]
Inventory amounted to $592.64. [Lincoln Probate, 12-255.]

appears there were five heirs to the estate. [Lincoln Probate, 17-

ary 25, 1793. March 11, 1796, he sells his interest to his son
Aaron.
Owing to imperfect records, and the frequent repetition of the same
name in different families, doubt exists as to the ancestry of Ebene-
zer Daggett. Mrs. A. C. Pratt, of Chelsea, Mass., who has made a
JOHN DOGGETT, OF MARTHA'S VINEYARD. 131
study of Martha's Vineyard families, and who succeeded to the col-
lections of the late Hon. R. L. Pease, of Edgartown, sets up as
a hypothetical line the one adopted above. This is adopted, and
should be accepted only as a possible solution of the question. The
future may prove or disprove it, but at present it seems the most
likely of auy^ possible line.
901. John Daggett^ {Jolin,^ Josejoh,^ Joseph,^ John ^) (?), died
New Vineyard, Me., 1794-5; married 1st, Rachel Coffin; died soon

Issue :
1198. i. John Daggett,* born Martha's Vineyard, 1758.
1199. ii. Rachel Daggett,* school-teacher on Martha's Vineyard. Died of
consumption soon after the family removed to Maine.
1200. iii. Thankful Daggett,* died unmarried, aged 62 years.
1201. iv. Deborah Daggett,* married March 22, 1795, Willard Spaulding;
had son, John D. Spaulding.
John Daggett, prior to his removal to Maine, resided in Edgartown.
He was a " miller," and tradition says he operated a windmill on the
island. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary war. He bought,
February 11, 1793, lot No. 2 in the second range of lots in New
Vineyard Township, and probably began a cleaving the same year.
He received injuries while piling his chopping, from which he never
recovered, and died soon after his removal from the Vineyard.
Dr. Hatch suggests, in his History of Industry, that John may
have been a brother of Ebenezer.
Owing to imperfect records, the placing of this John as the John,*
son of John,^ is only hypothetical, and should not be accepted, except
as a theory, which may be proved right or wrong in the future.

Concerning the last-meutioued office, William Allen, in his History
of Industry, relates the following :
The next year the captain brought in his account entered in a' treasury book,
and declined a reelection, because his boolc would not tell the truth ; that he had
cliarged all bills paid, and entered all the orders he had drawn on collectors to
pay bills with ; that he had done all the business by orders and bills; had not
received or paid a dollar in money on the town's account; but his book showed
a considerable balance due to him, which he knew was not the case.
Captain Daggett lived in the town a few years, and then returned
to Martha's Vineyard.

He was a sailor, and also a commander of vessels.
Capt. Silas Daggett composed the following :
Sister Jetlidah doth believe,
The electing plan she well doth know ;
And out of a thousand more than one
To Pleaven, she's sure, there cannot go.
A young man heard her, then with ease
(You know him well, 'twas Wm. Downs)
Said, "Tell, Miss Dida, if you please,
Who is to go from these three towns? "
" La ! Mr. AVm., so I can !
My good old mother she must go,
And Ebenezer, that good man,
'Twas fore-ordained it must he so.
And sister Betsy is all devotion.
And" — "Stop! stop !" says Bill, "you can't have more.
Our island has its full proportion."

Hon. I^beuezer Daggett, of Attleboro', held a commission of
Justice of the Peace for nearly thii-ty years, and honorably discharged
its most important duties. He served the town at various times in
the capacity of Selectman, and was Town Clerk for upwards of twent}'
years.
He represented the town several years in the General Court. A
large part of the last thirty years of his life was occupied in some
public employment. In various ways he rendered himself serviceable
to his fellow-citizens.
In the spring of 1831 he was elected a member of the Senate for
this district. At the succeeding November election he was rechosen
to the same office, and while in the discharge of the honorable and
responsible duties of this station he was called by the order of Provi-
dence to close his life at Boston, in the sixty-ninth year of his age.
Possessed of natural abilities above mediocrity, which he had
improved by self-education, he always directed them to useful pur-
poses. Plain and unassuming in his manners, mild and uniform in
his disposition, he had won the confidence of his fellow-citizens, but
never sought after the honors which were bestowed upon him.
Guided by fixed and pure principles, he was upright and honorable
in all his dealings with his fellow-men, and preserved a character of
unsullied integrity through a long and active life. He was regarded
by his neighbors as their father and adviser. If they were in diflS-
culty or doubt, they came to him for counsel and assistance, and both
were freely offered. So great was their confidence in his integrity
and judgment, that he was generally the chosen umpire in cases of
controversies between his fellow-citizens.
He was in fine, in the true and enlarged sense of the word, a useful
man. His life affords an encouraging example of the truth that
respectable talents, united with integrity and industry, will raise a
man to honor and usefulness. [Daggett's Hist. Attleboro'.]

Rev. Herman Daggett was at his father's decease between fifteen
and sixteen years of age. Quickened in his efforts by his zeal for
knowledge he passed rapidly and successfully through his course pre-
paratory to college, and became a member of Brown University in
1784. His standing there as a scholar was highly respectable, and
he graduated in 1788. In the second year of his college course his
mind, which had before been seriously directed by the influence of a
Christian education, became deeply impressed with the subject of
religion as a practical concern, and it was to this period that he re-
ferred the commencement of his religious life. His ardor in literary
pursuits seems not to have been at all repressed by the change in his
moral feelings, though all his 'faculties and attainments were from
this time evidently consecrated to the glory of God and the benefit of
his fellow-creatures.
After graduation he placed himself as a theological student under
Dr. Emmons. After spending a year in his preparatory studies, he
was licensed to preach by the association holding its session at North-
bridge, October, 1789.
Within a short time after he was licensed, he visited Long Island
with a view of being engaged as a preacher, thinking that the climate
would prove more congenial to his health than that of New England.
For a year he supplied the Presbyterian congregation at South old,
and though they gave him a unanimous call, yet, being unwilling
to practise on the "Half-way Covenant," he felt constrained to
decline it. Thence he was called to preach at Southampton, where
also he was unanimously invited to the pastorship. He was set apart,
by the Presbytery, to the pastoral office, April 12, 1792. Almost
immediately after his settlement, a difficulty arose on the subject of
the •• ' Half-way Covenant," and throughout the whole controversy
which followed he behaved with great moderation and dignity, and
i:)2 doggp:tt-dac4Gett family.
his character for discretion was never impugned. This controversy
was the principal, if not the entire, cause of his resigning his charge.
It was snflicient evidence that he came out of this controversy
unscathed, that almost immediately' after he was at liberty he was
called to tiie pastoral care of the church at West Hampton, a village
in the immediate neighborhood of the one he had left. Here he con-
tinued greatly beloved and respected by his people from September,
17'J7, to September, 1801.
In October, 1801, he was installed pastor of the church at Fire
Place and Middle Island, in the town of Brookhaven, and preached
alternately to the two congregations till April, 1807, when his liealth
had become so far reduced that he resigned his charge.
He was greatly esteemed, especially by his brethren in the ministry,
for tlie wisdom of his counsels, not less than for the consistency of
his general deportment.
After leaving Long Island his health improved, and for a year
he preached and taught school at Cairo, N.Y. For some time he
preached also at Patterson, Putnam county, and for two years he
preached and taught an academy at North Salem ; thence he went to
New Canaan, Conn., where he took charge of an academy. When
the Foreign Mission School was established by the American Board
at Cornwall, Conn., Mr. Daggett was placed at the head of it, May
6, 1818. Here he labored with success for nearly six years, until
1824, when he retired. [Early History of Southampton, L.I., 186(3.]

Abner Daggett enlisted at Attleboro', Mass., in April, 1773, under
Capt. Caleb Fisli, in tlie regiment commanded l)y Col. Timothy
Walker, and marched to participate in the siege of Boston.
At different periods during the Revolution he was stationed at
Roxbury, Dorchester, and as guaid at Preston's Point in the harbor,
opposite the castle, until December, 1775, when he was discharged.
About January 1, 1776, he again enlisted in the same company and
regiment, as a bombadier, commanded by Colonel Crane of the
artillery, for one year, and was in the battle of Long Island, August
27, 1776, and witnessed the capture of Lord Sterling, of New Jersey.
After the evacuation of New York city, September 15, 1776, he fol-
lowed the army on its retreat to White Plains, his route being a
fatiguing march through swamps and marshes.
A few years after he left the army he lived in Walpole, Mass., and
about 1708 he settled in Providence, R.I.
John Howland, of Providence, in August, 1838, said that "Abner
Daggett was a person of great respectability, and for several years
was a member of the town council, before Providence was incorpo-
rated as a city, and died after a long illness."
His will, dated January 4, 1816, was proved September 18, 1832.
He calls himself "Merchant," and mentions, besides his children, his
"dutiful grandson, George Edwin Monson."

Hon. David Daggett resided in bis native town until tbe fall of
1779. In 1781 be went to New Haven and entered tbe junior class
in Yale College two years in advance. He graduated in 1783 witb
bigb lionor. Wlien be took bis second or master's degree, be spoke
an oration of sucb marked excellence tbat it received tbe bonor, quite
unusual in tbat day, of publication.
Having a strong preference for tbe profession of tbe law, be com^
menced, soon after leaving college, tbe study preparatory to tbat
profession, witb Cbarles Cbauncey, Esq., of New Haven, and con-
tinued till January, 1786, wben be was admitted to tbe bar of New
Haven county, at tbe age of twenty-one, and immediately entered
upon practice in tbe town. "Wbile pursuing bis legal studies under
Judge Cbauncey, be supported bimself by performing the duties of
butler in college, and of preceptor in tbe Hopkins Grammar Scbool.
A few montbs after be was admitted to tbe bar, be was cbosen to
tbe office of tutor in Yale College, wbicb be declined, being eager to
pursue tbe practice of tbe profession wbicb be bad cbosen.
Mr. Daggett was early called into political service.
In 1791 be was cbosen to represent tbe town of New Haven in tbe
General Assembly, and was annually reelected for six years till 1797,
JOHN DOGGETT, OF MARTHA'S VINEYARD. 155
when lie was elioseu a member of the Couucil, or Upper House.
Though cue of the youngest members of the House of Representatives,
he soon became one of the most influential, and in 1794 he was
chosen to preside over it as its speaker, at the early age of twenty-
nine.
To this office he was elected year after year until he was chosen to
the Couucil.
Mr. Daggett retained his seat in the Council for seven years, until
he resigned in 1804.
In 1805 he was again a member of the House of Representatives.
In 1809 he was again chosen a member of the Upper House, and con-
tinued to hold a place in that body till May, 1813, when he was chosen
a senator in the Congress of the United States for six yeai's from the
preceding fourth of March. In 1811 (June) he was appointed State's
attorney for the county of New Haven, and continued in that office
till he resigned it when chosen senator iu 1813.
At the close of his senatorial term in 1819, he returned to his
extensive practice of law, which conduced much more to his private
interest than had the public service of the State.
In November, 1824, he became an associate instructor of the Law
School in New Haven, and in 1826 he was appointed Kent j)rofessor
of law in Yale College.
In these positions he continued until, at a very advanced age, his
infirmities induced him to resign them. In the autumn of 1826 he
received from the corporation of Yale College the honorary degree of
LL.D. In May, 1826, he was chosen an associate judge of the
Superior Court of the State of Connecticut. To this office he was
appointed by a Legislature in which a decided majority were opposed
to him in political principles and preferences. This fact is worthy of
remark on account of its strong testimony to his preeminent fitness,
at that time, for that high office, and also on account of the honorable
testimony which it gives respecting his political opponents, — whom
he never courted, and in political conflict never spared, — that in the
election to an office so responsible, so remote from political interests
and strifes as that of a judge of the Supreme Court, they were willing
to lay aside partisan partialities, and to be controlled by a regard to
superior intellectual, legal, and moral qualifications. During the
years 1828 and 1829 he was mayor of the city of New Haven.
In May, 1832, he was made chief justice of the Supreme Court.
Here, again, was singular testimony to his preeminently judicial qualifi-
cations ; for, contrary to the usual custom, he was appointed to that
chief place notwithstanding the fact that he was not the senior iu
office among the judges on the beuch.
Judge Daggett continued to perform the duties of that station until
156 doggett-daggp:tt faimily.
Doeember 31, 1834, wheu he reached seventy years of age, the limit
which the Connecticut State Constitution assigns to the judicial
office.
The eminence of Judge Daggett iu his profession, and among the
public men of the State, is sufficiently attested by the many positions
of high responsibility and trust in which he Avas placed by the
guardians of Yale College, and by the people of New Haven and
the State ; especially when we rememl)er that the political party to
which he l)elouged, which Avas dominant in the State till he Avas past
middle life, and gave him the most of liis honors, embraced, con-
fessedly, many of the most powerful and brilliant minds of the State ;
and if we remember also that some of the highest of these trusts were
devolved upon him when his political opponents had come into poAver
and his own party had passed into a minority.
The features of Judge Daggett's intellectual character, his quick
and thorough insight, his well-balanced judgment and strong common
sense, his quick and ready perception of fitness, his wit and humor,
his poAA^er of varied and felicitous illustration, his ready memory, his
energy of feeling, his concentration, his clear and nervous language,
his practical knoAvledge of law, — these, joined to his qualities of
person and manner, his tall and commanding form, alAA'ays dressed
carefully, richly, and in perfect taste, rising and dilating as he
warmed Avith bis subject, his large and piercing eye, his expressive
brow, his strong-featured Roman face, his powerful voice ranging
through the Avliole scale, from a subdued yet distinct AA'hisper till it
sounded like a trumpet call, his utterance varying from solemn delib-
eration to the vehemence of a torrent, — these qualities of mind,
person, and manner made him an advocate who, in his best days,
had, on the Avhole, no superior, if he had an equal, at the bar of
Connecticut.
He was a true and accomplished gentleman. He was in a very
extraordinary degree polished in his manners, gracefully and
scrupulously observant of all civilities. His courtesy was remark-
able.
The religious life of Judge Daggett began with the thorough train-
ing which he received in his childhood and youth. This " nurture
and admonition of the Lord," under the parental roof, and the
memories and records of his pious ancestry, had a strong influence
upon him. He commenced his active life with great respect for re-
ligion and its ordinances. [Extract, Address Rev. S. W. S. Dutton,

Mr. Daggett was one of the original purchasers of the township of
New Vineyard, Me., and drew his one hundred acres east of the New
Vineyard mountains, in the first range adjoining the Lowell strip, and
was the first to commence operations for a settlement in that quarter.
In June, 1791, he procured a back-load of provisions at the settle-
ment at the river, now Farmington, and went to the gore by the
path, where he got Mr. Collins to pilot him up the mountain to the
town line, which had then been newly marked by spotted trees, with
the corners of the lots marked, and numbered on the line.
Thence he proceeded afoot and alone, with his pack on his back
and his axe in his hand, noticing the numbers of the lots until he
came to his lot, where he made a temporary camp near a spring, and
commenced cutting down the trees to make a farm. He often said
IGO DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
he never enjoyed himself better in liis life than when thus employed.
Mr. Daggett built a log house, into which he moved the next year,
and remained there three years, when he sold his new farm to CLarles
Luce, and moved on the Lowell strip, now Industry, Me.
He was an honest, well-meaning man, and worked hard as long as
he was able.
He sold the farm which he made on the Lowell strip to David
Luce, settled on a lot near bj^ and then on a small lot near West's
Mills. In his old age, he moved to the town of Parkman, where he
died.

Mr. Daggett was well known in Pawtucket. For years he lived on
what is known as the "Daggett farm," near the Ten-mile river, and
his widow had resided there since his death.
She was wont to say that she had " lived in three towns and two
States, and not moved from the house."
The farm was originally in Rehoboth, Mass., but when that town
was divided, this portion of the town became Seekonk. Later
Seekonk was divided, and this portion became the old town of Paw-
tucket, in Massachusetts. In 1863, when the boundary line between
Rhode Island and Massachusetts was adjusted, Pawtucket was set off
to Rhode Island, and thus she moved into another State. Since
then she had seen the old town of Pawtucket annexed to a portion of
North Providence, and became the new town of Pawtucket, and then
the town made a city. Mrs. Daggett was a life-long member of the
Pawtucket Congregational church.

Isaac Daggett is said to have been quite original, aud his branch
have quoted for the writer some of his impromptu verse, of which is
the following :
^o '
Amidst the wood bold Isaac stood,
And gave his axe a wheel ;
The boughs did bend, and the trees did rend.
And off the bark would peel;
The messmates gone, and the wlieel went round,
And you are left to keep the ground,
And those lofty hills which we do spy.
Are made to please the Almighty's eye :
On us for sin to cast a stain.
Go up the hill against the grain.
Get up old Hoss.
Jane West my true and loving wife.
The joy and comfort of my life;
I have by you and you by me.
Five pretty sons and daughters three ;
Likewise in wealth we have our share.
As well in health as others are ;
Beef, Pork, and Mutton is our meat,
Sometimes roast turkeys we can eat.
Pumpkin for sauce, and if that won't do,
Use Turnips and Potatoes too.

Hon. John Daggett was fitted for college at Wrentham Academy
and entered Brown University in 1822, graduating in course in 1826.
His law studies occupied three years : one year with Joseph L. Til-
linghast, of Providence ; one year with J. J. Fiske, of Wrentham ;
and one with Judge Theron Metcalf, of Dedham. He was admitted
to the bar in Dedham in December, 1829, and immediately com-
menced the practice of law in Attleboro', where he remained till his
death. Without abandoning his profession, he filled various oflSces
during his long life. For two years, 1833 and 1834, he was editor of
the " Dedham Patriot." Mr. Daggett was a member of the Massa-
chusetts House of Representatives for foiir years, 1836-1839 inclu-
sive, and was again a member in 1866. He was a member of the
Senate in 1850. He filled the office of register of probate of the
county of Bristol eleven years, from 1850 to 1862, and he was also
for many years chairman of the School Committee in Attleboro'. He
also found time for literary and historical studies. He published a
little book called " Parris's Remains," which contained a memoir, to-
gether with selections from the writings, of Samuel Parris, M.D.
[B.U., 1821].
Mr. Daggett was one of the constituent members of the Old Colony
Historical Society, and for many years was its president. He Avas
also a member of the New England Genealogical Society. His in-
terest in inquiries and studies pertaining to the objects of these
societies induced him to write and publish the history of his native

town, " Attleboro'," a task which he so worthily discharged as to win
for him, with the respect and love of his townsmen, the name and
influence of an authority in all that pertained to the annals of their
town. It is a fact worthy of record and remembrance that from
the year he entered college to the year of his death he was present
at every commencement, attending thus sixty-three successive com-
mencements. The "Bristol County Republican," under date of
December 18, 1885, says of him:
On the lOth of February last, there was a large gathering of relatives and
friends to greet him on the advent of his octogenarian birthday, a day of con-
gratulation to him and his esteemed wife. His gentle kindliness, courtesy, and
integrity of character as a counsellor and friend — always to say a kind word,
never a hard one — secured for him the title of honest John Daggett, which he
wore with his modest grace and merit from his college days, during these sixty
years, to the time when death claimed him as a shining mark. He has passed
away, but his life-long deeds of kindness will live after him, and his memory as
the Christian gentleman will ever be cherished.
Mr. Daggett was much interested in the Doggett-Daggett geneal-
ogy, and during his life made several collections of material to aid
in such a work, and, together with Mr. Wm. R. Deane, tried to solve
some of the obscure points in the early history of the family.

divinity, Yale College, 1867-1870; then pastor Second Congrega-
tional Church, New London, Conn. ; then retired and resided in
Hartford, Conn.
He had a reputation as a preacher of great brilliancy, who was not
surpassed for magnetic power in the State. He particularly excelled
in his command of a clear, graceful, and at the same time vigorous
English style. In 1844 he removed to Canandaigua, in the State of
New York, where for nearly a quarter of a century he endeared him-
self to Christians of all denominations throughout western New
York, by the cordiality with which he entered into efforts of all
kinds, made for the benefit of the community. He was, perhaps
by heredity, a conversationalist, like his grandfather, Dr. ^neas
Munson, whose name is remembered to this day for his brilliant
qualities.
204 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
Everythiog that Dr. Daggett said or did was marked by good
taste, and by a cordial and friendly spirit. He was very quick to
notice whatever was commendable in others, and was evidently
delighted to express his interest and appreciation. With such a
character, as might be expected, he was very lenient in his judg-
ment of others, and it is doubtful whether he ever knowingly uttered
a word which could hurt the feelings of even the most sensitive.
In 1867, having been appointed a professor in Yale College, to
preach in the college chapel, he returned to the home of his boyhood,
where the cordial reception which he and his wife received was
peculiarly gratifying.
Mrs. Daggett received in early life every advantage that education
and acquaintance with the leading literary characters of New England
could give. She had a serenity and dignity of manner which were
peculiarly beautiful, and, though naturally somewhat reserved, she
impressed all who knew her with her sincerity, and with her real
friendliness of spirit.

Commander Edward Hooker was bred to the sea in the merchant
marine, commanding a ship when twenty-three years old. One of
the earliest volunteers for the naval service in the Civil War, he was
appointed acting master July, 1861. His first service was in the
gunboat "Louisiana." He was severely wounded during a boat ex-
pedition October 5, 1861. He was the first officer of his grade
wounded during the war. He took an active part in the Burnside
expedition while in the " Louisiana." At Newberne that vessel fired
the first and the last shot of the action. Soon after the capture of
Newberne he became the executive officer of the "Louisiana." At
the time of the Confederate attack upon Wilmington, N.C., in Sep-
tember, 1862, the ship was fought by Commander Hooker, in the
absence of the commanding officer, in a manner which caused high
commendation from commanding officers of our own forces. For
gallantry on this occasion he was made acting volunteer lieutenant,
to date from the day of the action. He was then ordered to a com-
mand in the blockade off Wilmington, and soon after to the command
of a division of the Potomac flotilla, in which command he continued

Ebenezer,* John,^ Thomas,'^ John^), born Cheshire, Conu., March 22,
181G ; died December 14, 1872.
John Frederick Kensett was apprenticed to his uncle, Alfred Dag-
gett, an engraver of bank-note vignettes. In 1840 he went to Eng-
land, where he studied painting for five years, supporting himself by
engraving. At that period he exhibited a view of Windsor Castle in
the exhibition of the Society of British Artists, which was selected
as the best in the collection. In 1850 lie returned to New York and
began a series of landscapes of mountain, river, and lake scenery
of New York and the Eastern States, with marine views, which had
eager purchasers. From this time onward his reputation and success
as a landscape painter were great and assured.
No artist was better known, and there is hardly an American art
collection of note that does not contain one or more of his pictures.
His works are liighly esteemed in France, Belgium, and England,
as well as in his native country.
In 1859 he was appointed a member of the "National Art Com-
mission," and engaged to superintend the ornamentation of the
national Capitol. His was one of the greatest and most evenly suc-
cessful of artistic careers. He looked and was a perfect gentleman,
of kindly sentiment and genial culture ; a friend to all good men, and
an enemy to no one.

A thoroughly representative Califoruian is Hon. John Daggett, of
Siskiyou, one of the members of the Board of Commissioners to the
Columbian Exposition.
Arriving in California before he had attained to majority, stalwart
of frame, genial of dispositiou, noble in character, buoyant with
hope, brave and vigorous in action, aud withal industrious, it is not a
matter of surprise to his contemporary friends of pioneer days that
now, in the meridian of life, he is found a leader of men and a coun-
sellor among the wise. He was educated at the high school in his
native village, and left there in May, 1852, for California.
Staying but a few days in San Francisco, where he landed, he went
to Sacramento, where he was engineer in a steam flouring-mill, but
only for a short time, as the reports of the gold diggiugs which his
friends brought him were so alluring that Mr. Daggett went to the
mines, first in El Dorado county, and subsequently to Calaveras
county, until the spring of 1853. From this time until June, 1854,
he was with his brother David at Marysville, as foreman of his
foundry and machine-shop. Mr. Daggett then decided to strike out
again for the mines, and this time he selected northern California.
Reaching Trinidad by vessel and finding the mines were remote from
the coast, he started on foot with his blankets and provisions to last on
the journey, over the roughest and wildest of trails, through a region
traversed by Indians not very friendly to the white intruders, a dis-
tance of one hundred and twenty-five miles, to a place now called
Siskiyou county. Here he engaged in placer mining and black-
JOHN D0GGP:TT, of MARTHA'S VINEYARD. 263
smithing until 1860, when the first gold-quartz mill was erected there
and he became its principal manager.
In 1864 he went to Nevada and remained two years superintending
silver mines and mills at Aurora, but returning to Siskiyou county in
1866, he became one-third owner of the Black Bear quartz-mine,
which, mainly through his management, became one of the most
famous gold-producing mines in the State.
In 1872 the Black Bear mine was sold to a syndicate for a large
sum, was incorporated and for some time profltablj'^ worked, and then
depreciated. Mr. Daggett, however, never lost faith in it, and began
purchasing stock, until now (1891) he is owner of five-sixths of it.
He has made extensive mining operations, which have opened upon
ore bodies of great value and extent, which will again place the mine
among the foremost of the State.
Politically Mr. Daggett has ever been a Democrat, and now is a
conspicuous figure in the councils of that party. In 1858 he was
elected to the Assembly from Klamath and Del Norte counties, and
in that session was the youngest member of the House. Being re-
turned the following year, he was made chairman of the Enrolling
Committee, and took a prominent part in its proceedings.
In 1880 he was again elected to the Legislature from the counties
of Siskiyou and Modoc, and served two sessions, a regular and an
extra session.
In 1882 he was elected lieutenant-governor on the Democratic
ticket, and presided over the Senate four sessions, — two regular
and two extra, — the latter constituting one of the most exciting-
political periods in the history of the State. The Senate on both
occasions was equally divided upon political and corporate legislation,
which necessitated the exercise by the presiding officer of a casting vote
in numerous instances. Lieutenarit-governor Daggett was an able
presiding officer. A thorough parliamentarian, his rulings were
quickly made and his decisions sustained.
By his prompt methods, his clear conception of measures affect-
ing the interests of the whole people, and his impartial course, in
spite of partisan clamor, in averting the enactment of unwise legisla-
tion relating to transportation, he exhibited qualifications of superior
state-craft ; and no scandal has ever been attached to his public acts.
" Daggett" is a station on the Southern Pacific Railroad, named in
his honor.
Appointed May 17, 1893, to be superintendent of the United States
Mint at San Francisco.

Thomas Doggett, of Marshfield, was previously a resident of
Weymouth, and before that, of Concord, Mass. Of these facts the
records now extant seem to offer sufficient evidence ; but of his life
previous to arrival at Concord there is more uncertainty. Authori-
ties on the subject express the opinion that Thomas who came in the
" Marey Anne," in 1637, was the Thomas afterward of Marshfield,
and finding no evidence to prove or disprove this theory, the writer
has followed it as a possible truth. It is hoped that the points here
made known may lead to positive proof of his parentage and home
in England.
326 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
In the Rolls Office, in London, Eng., is a small parchment volume
occupied with a record of persons " desirous to passe beyond seas."
It consists of but sixteen written leaves, and much the greater
portion of them is taken up with names of persons going into
Holland. The several entries relating to those who came to New
England are printed in the N.E. Hist. Gen. Register, Vol. XIV.,
page 328. What is not destroyed of the title of the volume is :
I
A Register of the
of such persons a
and upwards and have
to passe into forraigne partes . . .
March 1637 to the 29"i day of Sept.
by vertu of a commission granted to
Mr Thomas May hew, gentleman.
The people whose names are here recorded as bound for New
England came, with but few exceptions, from the counties of Norfolk
and Suffolk, England. They were very many of them cloth workers,
of Norwich, others were " cordwayners," "coopers," " joyners,"
and a few were husbandmen. Some came in the "John and Dore-
thay," of Ipswich, others in the "Rose," of Yarmouth, while " these
people went to New England with William Goose, M' of the ' Marey
Anne' of Yarmouth."
May the 13, 1637. The examinaction of Thomas Olliuer of Norwich,
Calinder,^ ageed 36 yeares and Marey his wife, aged 34 yeares, with 2 children :
Thomas and .John and 2 seruants:^ Thomas Doged aged 30 yeares and Marey

Thomas Oliver settled in Salem, Mass., and Thomas Doggett may
have stayed there in his employ long enough to pay for his passage
to this country.
It wns a common thing for gentlemen of some means in leaving
England for America to take an apprentice or servant, paying the
expenses of his passage, and after their arrival employing him to
work to repay the amount. In this way many young and poor per-
sons made their passage to this country.
This being customary, men of distinction were enabled to escape
to America as servants to those permitted to come, who would have
been prevented if they had attempted to come in their own name.
Such was the strictness of the laws, and the vigilance of the officers,
that many found it necessary to resort to this means to accomplish
their object. Possibly Thomas Doggett may have engaged himself
' Calendering is the last operation to wliich dyed and printed cottons are sometimes subjected

" The term " servant," as used by the early settlers, did not have the sense of a menial, but
that of apprentice. They were immigrants whose passage was paid generally by some relative
or friend iu consideration of a stated term of service.
r
THOMAS DOGGETT, OF MARSHP^IELD. 827
to Thomas Oliver in order to obtain permission to leave Euglaucl, for
among those who wished to come in the same company was one John
Yonge, a minister of " St. Margretts, Suffolk," who, after he was
examined and the answers recorded, Avas mentioned in the place of
the date as — "This man was forbyde passage by the commissioners
and went not from Yarmouth." Although this may have been Thomas
Doggett's reason for thus calling himself, I am of the opinion he
engaged himself as apprentice in order to pay his passage to New
P^ngland, where he wished to come, either for religious freedom, or
because he felt he could better his condition ; having much the same
idea as a young man of the present day who leaves New England
for the West.
As there seem to be no evidences of property in his hands for
several years after his arrival in New England, there is every reason
to believe he was without means when he arrived.
The exact date of the departure of the "Marey Anne" is not
known, nor the length of her voyage ; neither is it known to what
port she came, whether to Boston or Salem. Voyages across the
Atlantic at that time took many weeks, so it was probably mid-sum-
mer, 1637, when they first caught sight of the New England shores.
Between this time and 1642 we lose sight of him, and it would be
only conjecture to suggest where he may have lived during these
years.
In 1642, the 23d of the 6th month, the records of Concord, Mass.,
record the death of the wife of Thomas Doggett, but a search of the
town records reveals nothing more regarding them.
When or where he was married, or how long he had resided in
Concord, is unknown.
Even the Christian name of his wife has not been found, after much
search ; or whether his oldest son, John, who was born about this
time, was her son, or a son by his second wife. I am inclined, how-
ever, to believe him to be her son, and born at Concord, Mass.
Shattuck, in his history of Concord, after speaking of the death of
Mrs. Thomas Doggett, says, "Mr. Doggett removed from town," so
that our interest in Concord is in the period previous to 1642, when
he was a resident there.
Walcott, in "Concord in the Colonial Period," says: "Concord
was the first settlement above tide water.
"It adjoined the towns of Watertown, Cambridge Farms, and
Sudbury, and is nineteen miles from Boston.
" This tract of land, about six miles square, was occupied, in a
sense, by two or three hundred Indians, and was called Musketaquid.
" The meadows traversed by the sluggish rivers that ran by devious
windings to the northward were bordered by tracts of upland that

had been burned over and brought under rude cultivation by the
natives, and afforded a large area of cleared land that was very
attractive to the English settlers. The woodland was for the most
part covered with pine. Shad, salmon, and alewives abounded in
the rivers and brooks, which were also the haunts of fur-bearing
animals."
As the ' ' Old Towne Booke of Concord " is lost, it cannot be told in
what part of the town Thomas Doggett lived, whether he was granted
or bought lands, when or to whom he sold the same, or what part he
may have taken in the town affairs during his residence there.
"V\ ilcott says : "It cannot be doubted that there once was a town
boolz which contained the records of the earliest grants of land and
probably the other proceedings of the inhabitants, meeting together in
general assembly." '' A book of this character is referred to in ancient
deeds and other documents, as well as the records that remain to us."
The church of Concord was formally gathered at Cambridge, July 5,
1636, and was organized April 6, 1637, with Rev. Peter Bulkley as
teacher, and Rev. John Jones pastor, and the town datfes from the
previous year. Mr. Bulkley and Mr. Flint had some property, but
the rest of the Concord company were plain people, of humble station
in England, and of small means, who hoped in the New "World to
better their condition, and to enjoy unmolested the simpler forms of
religious worship that their tastes and consciences approved. Thomas
Doggett may have been inclined to settle in Concord because John
Doggett had been living in the adjoining town of Watertown for
several years, and he would seem to have gone there more fi'om this
reason than because of any relatives or friends already there, when
it is known that there is no reason to suppose that the Concord settlers
ever came together on English soil. There was no transplanting of a
church and its pastor, like the removal of John Robinson and his flock
to Holland, or lilve the settlement of Plymouth and Dorchester. The
first houses were humble structures with thatched roofs, and, very
likely, wooden chimneys, oiled paper serving in place of window glass.
Emerson says of them :
" Beneath low bills, in broad interval,
Through which at will our Indian rivulet
Winds mindful still of sannup and of squaw,
Whose pipe and arrow oft the plough unburies :
Here in pine houses, built of new fallen trees,
Supplanters of the tribe, the farmers dwell."
It is impossible to overestimate the trials and actual suffering that
were endured by the pioneer families. Here as elsewhere in the
colony, a close grappling with the facts was followed by inevita-
ble disappointment. The meadows were wet, the soil was found to

i'e(][uii'e hard labor to make and keep it productive, aud it is written
tliat the people were " forced to cut their bread very thin for a long
season." It cannot be wondered that some sickened and died by
reason of the unaccustomed hardships arid severity of the winter
weather, while others lost all faith in the success of the enterprise,
sold their estates for a little, and departed.
Leaving Concord, Thomas Doggett removed to Weymouth, Mass.,
which is, next to Plymouth, the oldest English settlement in Massa-
chusetts. Just when he moved there is not known, as there is a total
absence of all church records for the first hundred and more yea' s ;
and the town records of births, marriages, and deaths are v ry
incomplete. The property records are full and well preserved, as
well as the records of town affairs, which, until 1651, seem to have
been kept 'by the townsmen, or selectmen, as since called. Wey-
mouth, the old settlement of Wessagusset, was quite advanced in
1G42, as compared with Concord.
In 1642 Rev. Samuel Newman was the minister, having been called
to the church in Weymouth in 1639, where he remained four or five
years. He was followed by Rev. Thomas Thacher, w^ho was ordained
pastor of the church January 2, 1644, where he remained for about
twenty years, when he removed to Boston.
AYeymouth was more advanced than any other place in New Eng-
land except Plymouth in having the priority as to the presence of a
physician. Dr. Nicholas Byram, who came to Weymouth in 1638,
and remained there twenty-four years. The town is bounded on the
east side by Hingham, on the west by Braintree, and has on the
north a well-protected water frontage on an arm of Massachusetts
bay, about twelve miles from Boston ; so it was considered a most
desirable location at the time of the removal there of Thomas
Doggett.
Here it probably was he married, in 1643, as his second wife,
Elizabeth, the widow of William Fry. William Fry had died here
October 26, 1642, leaving a wife Elizabeth and daughters Elizabeth
and Mary. His noncup. will is found in Suffolk Probate, 1-29,
and was "deposed by Thomas Baily and John Barge before the
Courte the 9 of the 9 mo. 1643." By it " he did give unto his wife
after his decease his house and foure acres of land being his home lot
and after her decease to his two daughters Elizabeth and Mary," to
both of whom he makes other bequests. Elizabeth Fry was born
December 20, 1639, and Mary Fry was born January 9, 1642, prob-
ably at Weymouth, as their father was a freeman and had twelve
acres of land allotted to him there as early as 1636.

proprietors of Weymouth, aud the property records, which are not

October, 1683, mention is made of " Doggett's lot," locating it at
East Weymonth, near the Hingham line. Here it was his children,
Hannah, Sarah, and Samuel, were probably born ; but a careful search
of the records at Weymouth gives no insight into his family affairs
nor the dates of birth of his children.
Between the time of the record of land in his name, 1643-4, nntil
1648, the records at Weymouth do not mention the name, but in 1648
his fellow townsmen show their- appreciation of his judgment and
ability by electing him to the office of townsman or selectman.
The following records of meetings of the townsmen are all that
is contained in the Weymouth town books relating to Thomas
Doggett :
Weymouth Town Records, page 47, '• The 1st day of the 1st mo.
(March) 1648 " :
At a meeting of the Townsmen they having taken into consideration the

At a meeting of the Townsmen it was ordered that Thomas Doggett should
take care for the burning of the woods for wich he is to have due satisfaction.
In 1652 Elizabeth, the second wife of Thomas Doggett, died,
probably in Weymouth, and in the following year he changed his
home for the last time, by moving to Marshfield, Mass.
In an article on Marshfield, by William T. Davis, Esq., in the
" History of Plymouth County," lie says : " The town of Marshfield,
together with Duxbury, its adjoining town on the south, shares with
Plj^mouth the interest which attaches to the home of the Pilgrims.
Its fertile lands and broad marshes early attracted the attention of
the first settlers, and were eagerly sought for homesteads and farms.
Watered by North river on its northerly border, by South river in its
central section, and by Green's Harbor river in its southerly, its
territory was admirably adapted to those agricultural pursuits which
were the chief support of the Pilgrims. The township, slightly in-
creased in size since its original incorporation, covers an area of about
twenty-five square miles, and is bounded easterly by the ocean and
the town of Duxbury ; southerly by Duxbury and Pembroke ; westerly
by Duxbiu-y, Pembi'oke, and the North river ; and northerly by the
North River and the ocean." This territory has been called Missau-
catucket, Oxford, Green's Harbor, Rexham, and Marshfield, was made
a township March 2, 164^, and is about thirty miles south-east of
Boston. Among the first settlers was Thomas Chillingsworth, who
was quite a prominent man in public matters. After a short residence
at Lynn, in 1637, and afterward at Sandwich, he settled in Marsh-
field, where he was a large landholder, and was representative 1648
and 1652. Administration on his estate was granted March, 1652-3,
to his widow Joanna, who married August 17, 1654, Thomas Doggett.
Mr. Chillingsworth had four daughters, but no son.
Elizabeth died unmarried, September 28, 1655.
Mehitabel married May 2, 1661, Justus Eames.
Mary married Deacon John Foster.
Sarah man-ied Samuel Sprague, the last secretary of Plymouth
Colony.
The Bible of Mr. Chillingsworth Miss Thomas mentions as still in
existence, printed by Christopher Barker, 1589.
The maiden name of his wife is not known, nor the date or place of
their marriage.
The interest of Thomas Doggett in the widow Chillingsworth is
first noticed in a record at Plymouth :
The widow, .Toan Chillingsworth, in like manner came into court 7 March
1653 and acknowledged that she hath given unto her four daughters 10£apiece
THOMAS DOGGETT, OF MARSH FIELD. 333
to be delivered to them on their day of marriage or within three months after
same and in case any of them die, the survivors to have their part divided
equally between them and for performance thereof Thomas Doged and the said
Joane Chillingsworth have jointly given security to the court.
"July 3, 1654. Upon desire of Arthur Howland for the ending of
controversies regarding bounds of lands, that he and Thomas Doged
be acquainted with the bounds of lands according to original grant."
In 1655 Thomas Doggett serves on the jury at Plymouth, and
October 4 of the same year :
The court have ordered that Mr. Arthur Howland and Thomas Doged shall
procure a surveyor to lay out the land in controversy betwixt Thomas Doged and
him who shall do it according to decision and testimony from Captain Standish
and Mr. Alden and to lay out the line of division betwixt them according to the
evidence and to return what is done unto the court and the charges thereof to be
equally borne betwixt them. [Court Orders, 3-89.]
May 6, 1656 — In answer to a petition preferred to the court by Thomas
Doged of Marshfield wherein the said Thomas Doged proposed that a Jury
might be impannelled to make division of a certain part of land sold by Mr
Edmond ffreeman of Cambridge Point unto Mr Arthur howland and Thomas
Chilhngswortli deceased lying at the south bridge in the Town of Marshfield.
The court have ordered there shall be a jury of 12 men that shall determine the
laying out of the said land and shall fully end the controversy betwixt said
Arthur howland and Thomas Doged about the said land the said jury to be
impannelled at the next general court. [Court Orders, 3-97.]
At the town meeting 1656, May 19, Thomas Dogget and John
Rouse were chosen grand jurymen for the present year ensuing.
June 18, 1656 an agreement was made in regard to the land in controversy,
before Mr John Alden Cap* Cudworth and the Jury appointed, and the
division line decided upon. The agreement was signed by Arthur howland
and Thomas nr Doged
his / marke. [Court Orders, 3-103.]
At the town meetings Maj' 18 and August 13, 1657, Thomas Dog-
o;et was absent the first hour, and in each case was fined 6d.
During this year Thomas Doggett took the oath of fidelity at
Marshfield.
November 16, 1657, town meeting, Goodman Dogget and John
Rouse for grand juryship, £1 .
Rev. George Leonard says of this, in a letter dated April 9, 1852,
" I have already transcribed about a thousand names, including repe-
titious, to my list of town officers, and this is the only instance in
which the title ' Goodman ' ' is used."
1658, October 11, town meeting, Thomas Dogget, Is. Ud., being
his town rate. This year he serves on a coroner's jury.
The Rev. Edward Bulkley, sou of Rev. Peter Bulkley, of Concord,
was the pastor at Marshfield, and held an estate independent of the
minister's land. His father dying in 1659, he succeeded him as pastor
of the church at Concord, and was succeeded in the pastoral office
at Marshfield by Rev. Samuel Arnold, of Yarmouth.
1 The term " goodman " was used as a sliifht appellation of civility. The PuritanB, strictly
speaking, gave the title " Goodman " to a specially prominent church-member of mature years.
334 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
As the first volume of church records at Marshfield does not begin
until 1G9G, there is an absence here as well as at Weymouth and
Concord of all evidence to show what may have been the church
relations of Thomas Doggett.
At a town meeting May 16, 1659, he gave "one barrel of beef"
toward the purchase of the lands of Mr. Bulkley in Marshfield.
May, 1659, on the jur3^
He bought this year (1659) the farm to which he afterward re-
moved, and which adjoined the farm of Peregrine White, near the
junction of North and South rivers.
Indenture made the 11"^ day of October A.D. 1G59 between Comfort Starr
of Boston in County of Suffolk in New England, Chirurgeon on the one part
and Thomas Dogget of Marshfield on the other part. 120 acres in Marshfield with
buildings thereon, the same being now leased to William Sherman and Edmond
Hindsman. [O.C. Deeds, 6-23. J
Comfort Starr deceased before the sale was completed, and among
the amounts due the estate as recorded in Suifolk Probate is one
from " Good Doggett," as he is called.
March 15, 1659-60, We whose names are under written are testators of the

The exact location of Thomas Doggett's house on this land is not
known, but is presumed to be in a field back of a house now occu-
pied by Capt. Asa Sherman, at Centre Marshfield. In this field,
overlooking the marshes, the two rivers, and the ocean, on the side
of the hill, yet protected by it, near a spring of clear, cold water, is an
old cellar which the oldest inhabitants of the vicinity call the site of
the " Doggett House." This and the fact that the cellar is on a line
with the house of Peregrine White, and not very far from it, both near
the old highway, long since closed, would lead one to believe this was
the site of the house of Thomas Doggett. The stones would indi-
cate a house about thirty feet square, and a barn not far from it.
Out on the marsh is an oasis of cedar trees, old and gnarled, called
"Doggett's Cedars," and beyond, where the surf breaks on the
beach, is "Doggett's Beach," names which have clung to the spot
to the present time among a few of the older inhabitants.
1660, May 14, Thomas Dogget chosen one of a jury.
1660, July 15, at said town meeting the town have chosen Thomas
Dogget constable, who then refused the taking the oath to serve as
constable.

Among the papers of the Massachusetts Historical Society is one
superscribed " Namaskett Proprs names." The record was made
about 1664. Thomas Dogget is named as the grantee of the 27th
lot, the first at Whetstone's Vineyard.
In the papers at Plymouth, relating to the settlement of the estate
of Thomas Bourn, w^hose will was dated May 2, 1664, the inventory
was taken by " Serg' Joseph Riddle, A. Snow, and Thomas Doged."

field, as also to collect for the minister's maintenauce.

sive use of liquors, two or three men are appointed in every town in

or in any other places suspected, and Thomas Doged is named f(jr
Marshfield.
In 1G72, he begins the distribution of his estate among his children,
by giving them land for house and farm just previous to their mar-
riages. The first such gift is :
April 20, 1672 — Thomas Dogget of Marshfield, planter, to my well beloved
son John Dogget, one half of all my uplands and meadow which was formerly
land of Comfort Starr deceased. [O.C. Deeds, 4-50.]
Thomas Doggett owned a share in " Cedar Swamp," and October
14, 1672, the swamp was divided in seven lots of five shares each, his
share being one in the third lot. This swamp was in what was called
" Majors Purchase." Windsor, in his " History of Duxbury," says,
near " Mattekesett ponds, alias Namasakesett." The ponds thus
named are that collection which now are within the bounds of Pem-
broke and Hanson.
May 5, 1673. At town meeting, Thomas Dogget is chosen sur-
veyor.
June 9, 1673, occurs the second instance of his giving laud to his
children, this time to his son-in-law, Samuel Sherman, in considera-
tion of his marriage with his daughter Sarah. [O.C. Deeds, 4-90.]
The original deed was shown the writer by one of the descendants of
Samuel Sherman, it having been handed down and always highly
valued by its possessor.
1674, May 13. The town chose Thomas Dogget as grand juryman.
1675, May 6. Town meeting, Thomas Dogget chosen constable.

my son William to be my executor and request Thomas Doggett if
God so dispose that he survive my wife to be my overseer."
May 30, 1677. An agreement is made regarding a division of land
granted at a meeting at Marshfield. The whole tract is divided into
six lots, of which the second lot falls to Peregrine White, Thomas
Dogget, William Ford, Justus Fames, John Dogget, Samuel Sher-
man, and John Ford, Sen. [O.C. Deeds, 6-114.]
May 30, 1677. Town meeting.' "At said town meeting the in-

did vote Thomas Dogget and Ensign Fames to lay out Edward
THOMAS DOGGETT, OF MARSHFIELD. 337
Stevens, his land formerly granted and then it is to be recorded and
also fully committed to him and his heirs forever."
During this year he was appointed to enforce the liquor law.
March 20, 1681. He makes an agreement with his son John re-
garding the division of lands which he had formerly given him, and
on the same date gives land to his son Samuel, making the third in-
stance of gifts of this natiu-e to his children.
An extract of this last deed is as follows :
March 20 1681 Thomas Dogget of Marshfield, in consideration of the
tender love and fatherly affection which I have and bear to ray natural and well
beloved son Samuel Dogget of Marshfield, one half of all my lands in Middle-
boro and places adjacent which said share of land formerly purchased of William
Twining of Eastham as by deed Mar. 7, 1671. [O.C. Deeds, 6-27.]
On the same date he gives his son John Doggett the other half of
land in Middleboro' ; also gives him land in the valley in Marshfield.
1682, May 22. At the town meeting Thomas Doggett is men-
tioned for the last time on the records of the town of Marshfield, and
is chosen surveyor of highways.
Feb. 6, 1683 — Thomas Dogget of Marshfield in the Colony of 'New Ply-
mouth in New England, sendeth greeting. In consideration of the love and
fatherly affection I have for my natural and loving son Samuel Dogget as also
for divers other good causes All my land both upland and meadow which I now
have in Marshfield, that is to say more particularly the moiety of all that farm
that I formerly purchased of Mr Comfort Starr being that part of said farm
whereon I now live according as it is marked 40 and bounded between my son
John Dogget and myself as may appear by indenture of part under our hands
and seals, reserving the use during life, also all that tract of land purchased of
Lent Peregrine White lying north of a great brook next adjoining to the
southerly part of my other meadows with the same reserved, with the moiety
of one half part of the land granted to me and others of my neighbors at the
heads of our lots by the town aforesaid. [O.C. Deeds, 6-26.]
June 3, 1684. The court named him as constable for Marshfield.
Retired from active pursuits and positions of public trust, with his
lands distributed among his children, the records examined do not
show that he is again mentioned, and during the remaining years of
his long and busy life we think of him in the words of Mrs.
Sigourney :
•' While moving on thro' Marshfield's vales,
Mid the balm of her summer breeze.
With a peaceful smile on his honor'd brow,
A fair old man she sees :
Full many a change in the Mother Land,
From the cottage to the throne,
As well as here, in this younger sphere,
That reverend sire hath known."
He died August 18, 1692, and is supposed to have been buried
among his fellow-townsmen, in the old Fii-st Burial Ground, some-
times called the Winslow Ground, among whose honored dead Daniel
Webster, by his special request, was interred.
338 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
There are many stones whose inscriptions are long since illegible,
but among those which can be read none has been found to mark the
spot where Thomas Doggett lies.
In the Probate Records of Plymouth County, Vol. I., page 154, is
found the will of Thomas Doggett, as follows :
I Thomas Dogget, of Marshfield, being grown aged, yet of sound mind, and
memory, praysed be God. Do make this my last will, and testament, in manor

John Doggett spent the greater part of his life in Marshfield.
In 1662 he was in Hingham, where he witnessed an Indian deed.
April 20, 1672, his father gives him one-half of the home-farm in
Marshfield, and on May 13, of the same year, he is admitted a towns-

In 1677, May 30, his landed estate is increased by the addition of
land allotted to certain proprietors by the town, and again, in 168|^,
March 20, by the gift from his father of land in Middleboro' and
Marshfield.
The town records show that he was interested in town affairs, and
chosen by the town in 1682 as constable. In 1684 he was made sur-
veyor of the highways, and August 4, of the same year, had distributed
rate as constable.

April 1, 1686, he purchased from Justus Eames for £10 laud
adjoining the head of his house-lot and that of his father ; Peregrine
White and Samuel Sherman being witnesses to the deed. [Plymouth
Deeds, 6-31.]
On August 2, 1686, he and his brother Samuel hired the flats on
the South river of the town, for that year, probably for the salt hay
which they could cut there, as he was, like his father, a planter or
husbandman. June, 168 1), he was received and admitted as freeman
at a court at Plymouth.
May 18, 1691, he was chosen grand juryman. In 1692 a jury,

Hewett, John Rose, John Barker, John Doggett, Joseph Water-
man, Isaac Holmes, Anthony Eames, Ephraim Little, Michael
Ford, Joseph Crocker, John Thomas, and Nathaniel Thomas, Jr.,

lowing year, March 20, to the same office, and the additional one of
viewer of fences. As grand juror, at the same meeting he receives
from the town 15s. for his services.

was a parish officer who preserved order at public worship, and
enforced the observance of the Sabbath.
For three successive years John Doggett filled this office, he being
chosen thereto March 10, 169|, March 11, 169|-, and March 16, 169|.

Thomas Blanchard, who was the ancestor of the larger part of the
New England families of the name of Blanchard, came from London
in the year 1639. It is supposed he settled in Braintree, Mass.,
where he is known to have lived from 1646 to 1651. In 1651 he
purchased a house and farm of two hundred acres, on Mystic side,
Charlestown, Mass., to which place he removed the same year, and
where he died 1654. His son Nathaniel, born in England 1636, mar-
ried 1658, in Charlestown, Susanna Bates, and removed to Weymouth,
Mass. (Hobart's History of Abington, 1866.) An older son, Samuel
Blanchard, of Charlestown, was constable 1657, and admitted to the
church, 25 (7) 1681.
An old manuscript book, the property of Mr. Abel Blanchard, of
Andover, Mass. (now, 1869, with the Bible Society, Astor place. New
York), is in the handwriting of several parties, but evidently com-
menced by the first Samuel Blanchard, of Andover.
In this book he says : " Samuel Blanchard was married to his wife
Mary (Sweetser) in the year 165f upon the 3rd day of January."
They had Samuel, Sarah, Mary, Jonathan, Joshua, and Abigail.
Following the list of children is :

and as wee reseve it, in the 79"* year of her age."
George D. B. Blanchard, Esq., of Maiden, Mass., writes from that
place as follows, regarding Hannah (Doggett) Blanchard :
"After her marriage, which evidently took place at Charlestown,
she lived thirteen years within a short distance from the spot where I
am now writing, and I can see plainly from my window the ground
where her home was, and where all of her children were born. They
all lived till maturity, and I have a pretty full record of each one of
them, three sons and a daughter Hannah, named for her.
"She (the mother) died in 1725, and among her descendants are
some worthy names.
"I visited her grave at Andover in 1863, and copied at that time
the inscription upon the headstone , as follows :
" ' Here Lyes ye Body of Mrs Hannah
Blanchard Relict of Mr Samuel
Blanchard Who Dec'd July 10"^ 1725

"The stone was then broken, the upper part of it lying on the

Living in Marshfield all his life, with his occupation that of a
farmer, there is some reason to think he may have also been interested
in the shipping interests on the North river, which during his life-
time began to increase. In 1736 occurred the death of his youngest
daughter, which is mentioned in a short letter from James Barker,
who married Bethiah Ford, a sister of Experience Doggett, dated at
Lebanon, November 12, 1736, in which he says to Brother Doggett
that his daughter Experience died of the prevailing sickness there.
This daughter Experience was baptized at the Fh-st Church in Marsh-
field, August 1, 1714.
His death occurred at Marshfield, January 5, 173f , and his remains
were deposited in the Cedar Grove Cemetery, about twenty-eight feet
back of his uncle Samuel, and a few feet farther from the road.
His first wife was buried next to the grave in front of his, and

The records at Marshfield do not mention Samuel Doggett, until we
find the record of his marriage to Bethia Waterman. She belonged to
that family of Waterman of whom we read in "We and our Kins-
folk": "We have it by tradition that the Waterman famil}^ came
from Germany to Wales, and from Wales to Norwich, England.''
" Many hundred years ago they were famous seamen." " Robert, who
was at Salem 1636, at Plymouth 1638, and at Marshfield 1642, true
to the family tradition, did more or less business on the deep." " He
married 1638, Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Bourne, and at his death
in 1658 left, under the guardianship of Anthony Snow and his uncle
Josias Winslow, three sons, John, Joseph, and Robert." Joseph
married the daughter of his guardian, and was the father of Bethia,
who married Samuel Doggett. Joseph Waterman's will, dated August
6, 1709, proved March 12, 1710, shows he left an estate valued at
£2,500, of which his daughter Bethia received £100.
October 9, 1710. At a meeting of the proprietors of Marshfield,
Samuel Doggett, Jr., drew lot No. 55 in the first division, and No. 57
in the second division, and thus became a landholder in his native
town.
Whether his connection with the Waterman family had an influence
in his choice of a vocation, or whether the growth of the business of
shipbuilding drew his attention to the sea, is not known ; but we find
him the first of the family to follow the callings suggested in the fol-
lowing extracts :
Jan 1, 1710/11 Samuel Doggett Jr of Marshfield "boatman" buys of
Joshua Gushing for 323£, piece of upland containing 30 acres and salt marsh
containing 5 acres, with all the hoiising, out housing buildings and orchards,
bounded on the north by the North river, beginning at " Ye mouth of ve great
creek." [Plymouth Deeds, 8-165.]
Jan 26, 1710 Samuel Doggett Jr of Marshfield "Mariner" for 39£ paid by
James Gardner of Marshfield 2 lots of land in Marshfield adjacent to Tudder
Wharf Brook, about 50 acres. [Plymouth Deeds, 10-605.]
The first deed is probably that of the land on which he lived during
the rest of the time he made Marshfield his home ; it is located near
East Marshfield, and now called Bryant's pasture.
On the upland, not far from the river, are some old apple-trees and
the walls of an ancient cellar, which was surrounded by bushes and
small trees in 1886, and supposed to be the site of his house.
The view from this spot overlooking the river is one of quiet, restful
beauty, and it is difficult to pictui'e it as it looked in former days.
THOMAS DOGGETT, OF MARSHFIELD. 357
when, as we read in the " History of Plymouth County," it was the
scene of busy industry. Tlie North river, which forms the boundary
of a portion of Marshfield in its winding way of twenty miles through
the mea,dows, from Ludden's ford to the sea, is one of surpassing
beauty. The tide rose and fell many feet, while its banks were lined
with shipyards, and more shipbuilding was carried on here than upon
any other river in New England. At Little's bridge, once Doggett's
ferry, vessels were built at one time on the Marshfield side of the
river. Below this point the river expands greatly in width, the salt
meadows form a vast expanse, and the scenery takes on grand pro-
portions of beauty. The river near its mouth between that and the
Fourth Cliff: was sometimes called New Harbor, and vessels wintered
there from earliest times.
Commerce with the West Indies has been carried on from thence,
and there is reason to believe that Samuel Doggett was one of those
interested in that trade.
December 10, 1711. Town meeting : Samuel Doggett, Jr., on a
jury of trials at the next Inferior Court at Plymouth, third Tuesday
of the list.
In an account book of Arthur Howland, now (1888) in possession
of Miss Thomas, of Marshfield, under date July 24, 1714, — charge
to Samuel Doggett for writing a bond, bill of sale, and five bonds,
settled by paper, jack-knife, logwood, copper.
February 21, 17^4. Town meeting: He was chosen on jury of
trial at next Inferior Court at Plymouth.
March 20, 17^f . Town meeting : Samuel Doggett, Jr., Constable.
In the will of John Rogers, of Marshfield, dated May 9, 1718
(Plymouth Probate, 4-130), is the following :
" Item I give to my grandson Samuel Doggett 20£ in money to be
paid him within two years after my decease."
March 23, 172|. On trial jury.
May 16, 1726. Town meeting: "Voted and agreed with Samuel
Doggett to keep the town stock of ammunition, and to make it good
whenever the town shall demand it of him, and the town to allow him
10s. a year for the keeping the same."
September 7, 1726. On the jury.
March 27, 1727, Samuel Doggett chosen one of the selectmen of
Marshfield. February 24, 172f, on grand jury. March 25, 172f,
Samuel Doggett, tithingman, and on the same date grand juryman.
During these years Samuel Doggett had been extending his busi-
ness relations, and his vessels, either commanded by himself or those
in his employ, sailed from the North river or the port of Boston, in
the coasting trade, and also across the Atlantic. At that time the
territory now comprised in the State of Maine was attracting attention
358 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
as a new settlement, and a number of Boston capitalists, securing a
tract of land, formed the Wiscasset Company, which settled the
town now bearing that name.
Samuel Doggett was interested in the settlement of the territory ;
and :
Feb 8, 1730 At a meeting of the Wiscasset Proprietors at the Royal Ex-
change Boston.
Voted Mr Samuel Doggett, Twenty five acres of land in the 2nd division
for every family that he shall settle on our land at Sheepscot within the term of
24 months from this time to the number of 40 families which settlements shall
be agreeable to our articles of agreement. Above 25 acres of Land is given as a
gratuity for all the charge and trouble the said Doggett is or shall be at, in set-
tling the same.
Jan 18, 1731 Voted Mr Samuel Doggett to get a good surveyor to lay out
the above township directly at the charge of the Proprietors.
Jan 11, 173f Voted Mr Samuel Doggett and Mr Andrew Tyler to go to
the Records in order to compare Robert's deeds with ours. Voted to lay out
the 74, hundred acre lots, according to the discretion of Mr Samuel Doggett.
1738 At a meeting held, the lots which have been laid out are drawn.
Samuel Doggett, 1 lot.
Feb 22 173f He pays 53£ for land at Sheepscot!.
April 13, 1730. Samuel Doggett, " yeoman," buys of Daniel Mac-
Lucas, of Pembroke, two lots containing about thirty acres. [Ply-
mouth Deeds, 25-218.]
The growing interest in the vicinity of Sheepscott river evidently
made that a promising iield for investment.
Nov 2, 1730, Samuel Doggett of Marshfield, mariner, buys of Jonathan
Loring of Boston, currier for 25£ one full 64'^ part of all that land called
George Davies Right of land in Sheepscott River, reference being had to the
several Indian Deeds for bounderies. [York Deeds, 20-158.]
Nov 2, 1730 He also buys another 64th part of the same tract from John
Burt of Boston, Goldsmith, for the same amount. [York Deeds, 20-158.]
January 25, 1731. In Arthur Howlands account book, already
referred to, he says: "This day paid Samuel Doggett all I owed
him on my own account and all that was due him on M. Eames her
account."
The residents at East and North Marshfield were rather distant
from the church, and this led to a demand for a church nearer home.
In 1730 several, among whom was Samuel Doggett, were members
who paid for preaching at North Marshfield, as appears from a paper
in possession of Miss Thomas.
The first church records show: "Nov. 7, 1731 — Betliia wife of
Samuel Doggett taken into the church at Marshfield."

The growth of Boston and the consequent- centring of business
interests there made it necessary that Samuel Doggett, with his in-
terest in shipping, should be there much of the time.
In making voyages himself he would naturally start and return
there, and this probably decided him to leave his native town and
make his home in Boston.
The first move in that direction we find in the sale of his lands in
Marshfield, April 19, 1742. The deed (Plymouth Deeds, 35-80)
says :
Samuel Doggett of Marshfield, yeoman for 1800£ paid by Seth Bryant of
Scituate, shipwright all that my farm whereon I now dwell in Marshfield con-
taining about 60 acres of upland and meadow land lying on both sides the high-
way, bounded partly to the North River on the N., the highway that goes
from said river toward the Precinct Meeting House to the E : another lot of 6
acres near the south end of the farm : the 20*'^ lot in the P' Division ; the 35"^ and
45* lots in the 2°'^ Division of Marshfield Common lands.
After the sale of the estate in Marshfield it appears they still lived
there for two years, at which time Mrs. Doggett came to Boston. By
a law which obliged every one moving to Boston to prove they should
not become a charge on the town, we are enabled to show just when
Mrs. Doggett came to Boston.
In the Boston Selectmen's Minutes, p. 101, report of meeting June
6, 1744 :
360 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
Mrs Bethia Doggett from Marshfield lodges at Mr Wheelers, has been in
Town about 25 Days. Ordered That Slie be Warned to depart the Town
in Fourteen Days unless She give Security to Indemnify the Town from any
Charge upon her Ace' as the Law directs.
About this time (1744) arrangements were being made by the
Province of Massachusetts Bay to make an expedition against Louis-
burg, and among the vessels engaged by the government to aid in
the attaciv were those of Samuel Doggett. The expedition sailed
from Boston, bearing three thousand men, to attack a stronghold
which had been called the Gibraltar of America, and whose very
fortifications were said to have cost five million dollars. On April
30, 1745, the fleet, with additions from England, New Hampshire, and
Connecticut, came in sight of Louisburg, and found its strength not
exaggerated. The walls were twenty or thirty feet high and forty
feet thick, surrounded by a ditch eighty feet wide, defended by one
hundred and eighty-three pieces of artillery, besides sixty more in the
two outlying batteries.
For six weeks Louisburg was besieged, and on June 17 the fort
surrendered.
Voltaire, in his " Si6cle de Louis XV.," ranks among the great
events of the period this capture of a strong fortress by the husband-
men of New England. In the Massachusetts State Archives, Vol.
LXXIL, p. 778, is fouud :
Account of the charge of the transport vessels employed in his Majesties Ser-
vice in the expedition against Cape Breton, and for tlie service of his Majestys
Garrison at Louisburg exclusive of such as were Laden with stores, by express
orders from the Admiral and General.
Among the list of vessels :
Sloop Dolphin, S. Doggett, master — 6 men — time of entry Feb 18, 1745,
discharge Nov 28, sailors wages 102£ 9s 7d, hire of vessel 169£ 13s Od.
Whether the sloop Dolphin returned to Boston previous to the time
of her discharge has not been ascertained, but it is probable Samuel
Doggett was in Boston when he died, in September, 1745.
The Boston papers of September 23 mention the arrival of sixty
sick men from Louisburg on September 19, and it may have been
Samuel Doggett was one of the number.
The family were then living in Boston, between King street (now
State street) and Dock square, and here it is probable he died.
His estate paid for a gravestone, but it has not been located, so
it is not known exactly when he died or where he was buried, and the
city or church records examined contain no note to assist in the
search. His widow Bethia died the following year, and was buried
in the Granary Burial-ground, in Boston, where a stone erected to her

Bethiah Doggett died a few days after the above account was re-
turned to the Probate Court, and before she had fully administered
on the estate of her husband. May 20, 1747, Kenelm Winslow, of
Boston, brazier, was appointed to complete the administration of the
estate, the letters being granted to him by request of two of the chil-
dren, Lydia Cliff and Bethiah Doggett. The Suffolk Probate records
contain no return of administration on said estate by Kenelm Winslow.

3631. vi. Elizabeth Doggett," born Marshfield, Mass., May 14, 1738.
Ebenezer Doggett was baptized September 27, 1702, at the First
Church in Marshfield. Like his brother Samuel, he is called at dif-
ferent times " yeoman " and "mariner." Early Boston newspapers
mention his sailing from that port to the Carolinas and to New-
foundland, and it is probable he made voyages to the West Indies
and possibly across the Atlantic. Captain Doggett married a Ply-
mouth lady for his first wife, and made his home in Plymouth, where
he bought of Ignatius Cushing (husband of Mrs. Doggett's sister) a
dwelling-house, which Mr. Cushing had just built.
The house was deeded to him May 16, 1720, and in the deed Cap-
tain Doggett is called " late of Mai'shfield, now of Plymouth."
[Plymouth Deeds, 15-27.]
This house he made his home until after his second marriage, when
he removed to Marshfield, sometime between December 14, 1734, and
May 14, 1738, and sold the house to Thomas Foster, February 3,
1743, for £230, and with it his pew in the meeting-house in Plymouth.
[Plymouth Deeds, 36-103.]
This pew had been hired May 26, 1740, by Samuel Clai'ke, of
Plymouth. [Plymouth Deeds, 34-218.]
The Doggett house, after being owned and occupied by many
Plymouth families, became the property of Mr. Chas. T. Holmes, of
Plymouth, who had it torn down during the winter of 1884-5. Dur-
ing the previous summer it was my privilege to see the house, which
364 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
had retained its original style and finish, and was located on the
town sqnare, the lot having adjoined the town house. The house
set back about twenty feet from the square, the front toward the
town house, and overlooking the bay. Entering the front door, the
hall was found to be of good size, and the sides dadoed to a height of
about four feet, with panels which divided the space above the base-
board into a series of small square panels over the same number of
long ones. The parlor on the right, which was rather higher studded
than the rest of the ground floor, was about eight feet high, and con-
tained an open fireplace, high dado, and windows looking toward the
square and the water. The next room of importance, the kitchen or
living-room, was of large size, and entered from the end of the hall or
fi"om the other rooms.
Here was the large fireplace, and iu the back the iron fireback, on
which was the English coat of arms.
This fireback weighs one hundred and fifty-seven pounds, is about
three feet long, supposed to have been cast in England, and is now
in the possession of the writer. The quaint staircase, the panelling,
the small window-panes, all attracted one's attention, and the second
story was as interesting as the first.
August 8, 1727. Ebenezer Doggett bought of his brother, Isaac
Doggett, his interest in the estate of their father, Samuel Doggett,
[Plymouth Deeds, 22-72.]
As Seth Doggett died without issue, Ebenezer became possessed of
tiie real estate of his father, according to the will, and ^vith his mother
began the sale of the Marshfield and Pembroke lands. Ten transfers
were made by him, which are recorded in Plymouth county, between
1734 and 1745, besides the purchase and sale of his house in the
town of Plymouth, previously mentioned. In all there is deeded
fully two hundred and fifty acres of land, amounting to about
£1,400.
The town records of Marshfield contain only the following items
regarding Captain Doggett, and it does not appear that he held any
offices in the town during his residence there :
" March 1, 173|. Cliosen to serve on the Grand Jui-y on Tuesday
preceding the last Tuesday of April.
•' March 29, 1742. Chosen to serve on the Grand Jury at Ply-
mouth 2°*^ Tuesday of April next.
"June 28, 1742. Chosen on Grand Jury at the Superior Court at
Plymouth 2"<i Tuesday in July next."
After the final sale of land in Marshfield on November 5, 1745,
Captain Doggett probably soon removed to Boston as more central
for a place of residence, and as it was the port from which he had
sailed as early as 1727, and possibly before.

During the following year he died, but the exact date of his death
has not been found.

The church records of Marshfield include among the children of
Samuel Doggett, who were baptized September 27, 1702, his son,
John Doggett. His boyhood was spent in Marshfield, but as a
young man he went first to Rochester, Mass.
Among the early settlers of Rochester, Mass., were Rev. Samuel
Arnold and Abraham Holmes, both relatives of John Doggett.
There were also other Marshfield people who had settled there, and
this fact doubtless led him to first seek his home among them. A
search of the town records of Rochester does not show any particulars
of his residence there. A brook which runs through the town has
the name " Doggett's brook," but it is not known for whom it was
named, although, as he was probably the earliest settler of the name,
it may have been so called because of his living in the vicinity.
It is not known when he went to Rochester, . but the record of
his marriage at Marshfield, in 1719, calls him John Doggett, of
Rochester.
How long he remained in Rochester after his marriage is also un-
certain ; but his two oldest children, Mary and Samuel, were born in
Marshfield, the latter in 1723.
Soon after the birth of Samuel he removed to Lebanon, Conn., and
it is an interesting fact that he had his marriage recorded in that town,
as well as the birth of his two children, who were born in Marshfield.
The record in Lebanon agrees with that in Marshfield in every par-
ticular, excepting the name of his wife, who in Lebanon is called
Ames, instead of Eames.
Walter G. Kingsley, Esq., of Lebanon, writes (1888) the name is
usually spelled "Dogget" on the records at Lebanon ; and he also
says in regard to the children and descendants calling the name
Daggett that he was told about thirty-five years ago, while teaching
in Bolton, that "the name was only a change from Dogget to
Daggett."
The earliest conveyance of real estate to him occurred September
16, 1725, and he was then described as of Lebanon, and continued
to make purchases of land until about 1750 or 1760.
The locality where the family owned farms was very close to the
town limits of both Coventry and Hebron.
From the Lebanon town-meeting records, "John Doged appointed
constable Dec 4, 1727," but no subsequent appointment to office.
8G8 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
The church records show that John and his wife united with the
Second Society in 1727 (this parish in 1806 became an incorporated
town, "Columbia").
A rate bill for the North Parish of Lebanon (now Columbia) for
the year 1741, which was made to pay the salary of the minister, and
dated December, 1741, shows the whole amount raised £330 IGs. 9d.,
of which "John Dogit paid £3 9s 2d."
The will of Samuel Doggett, of Marshfield, gives his son, John
Doggett, thirty-eight acres of land in Middleboro', "being ye lot in
16 shilling purchase," and from the records at Plymouth we find the
sale of this lot as follows : " John Doggett of the Town of Lebanon
in County Windham in Connecticut in New England for 25£ paid by
John Booth of Middleboro in County Plymouth, sells him 38 acres
land in 16 shilling purchase in Middleboro, laid out originally to
Thomas Doggett No. 104 lot. Oct 8, 1736." [Plymouth Deeds,
30-210.]
In the Windham Pi'obate District, at Willimantic, Conn., is recorded
the will of Dea. John Doggett, Vol. VI., page 503, as follows:
In the name of God Amen, the 10th day of Feb. A.D. 1704. I, John Doggett

width at each end, making a parrelel Line on the south side with said highway

therefore my will that they shall still have the privilege to Live in my house, so
long as they continue unmarried, and have ye benefit of so much room therein,
as to Labour and do there necessary bussiness they may ingage in, and to stow
away their house goods, and whereas I have given them some few things here-
tofore exclusive of this my will, but they by their own Labour and industry have
acquired many things as household goods &c, to themselves, which are not my

her maintenance during the span or time she shall continue my widow, shall not
be sufficient therefor, then it is my will that my sons Samuel, and John shall

equal expence.

them in bills of Credit of this Government Emition or any Coin money that
passes Current in this Colony if my moveable Estate be not sufficient.
Item : whereas I have a right in what we call the Delievare Purchase of
Land, and as Y' not Known whether it will be obtained. Therefore if it be
obtained to the advantage of my estate so that I have a right or share therein,

due and right by our private agreement when I put in for said right as that he
hath heretofore carried one halfe the cost until this time wliicli he and I. agreed

At said meeting voted that Isaac Dogget and eleven others, these or so many
suitable persons have liberty to banister the back seat of the men's end gallery
so that they do not raise it higher than that in the front and that there be so
many owners at least constantly belonging to it.
Isaac Doggett, like his older brothers, is called both "mariner"
and "yeoman," the first being his occupation when he lived at
Marshfield, and the latter after he had married and settled in
Braintree.
He removed to Braintree in 1727 or 1728, and preparatory to
moving there sold out his property in Marshfield and secured land in
Braintree, as appears in the following deeds :
Rebeckah Allen of Braintree in County Suffolk spinster, daughter of Samuel
Allen of Braintree wheelwright, deceased intestate. Whereas a certain tract
of land at Bendall's Farm containing 100 acres was divided between her
and Isaac Doggett in the right of Abigail his wife, daughter of Samuel Allen
and is now held by both in joint tenancie. Said Rebeckah for 110£ paid by
Isaac Doggett now of Marshfield, County Plymouth, mariner, sells him her

Pembroke and also the one half of Seth Doggett's interest, provided he die
without issue, to hold the same after the death or 2"'i marriage of his mother
Bathsheba Doggett, Aug 8, 1727. [Plymouth Deeds, 22-72.]
Abigail, wife of Isaac Doggett, joined the church in the Middle
Precinct, Braintree, in 1729.
March 27, 1732. At a town meeting in Braintree the various town
ways were laid out and described, one of the highways running :
Thence to the southerly corner of Dogget's Garden, the way to ly as it is
now Improved : thence to the southerly corner of Dogget's Field and so along
side of the Fence as it now stands till we come to the line between Benjamin
Hayward and said Dogget &c The ways as laid down were accepted, only with
the following amendment at the desire of Isaac Dogget abovenamed viz : that
from the way against Mr Dogget's House the way aforesaid shall go over a
Shoalplace in the corner of a Pond in his land and along the north side of the
Pond to Mr Haywards Barrs and thence directly to said Haywards Door.
Isaac Doggett probably resided in that part of Braintree, now
Randolph, as he connected himself with the church in that precinct
in 1733. June 25, 1734, Mary Spear's mulatto child was bound to
372 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
Isaac Doggett, and au order was drawn to pay him £25 for keeping
it until it should become of age.

Dogget chosen surveyor of Highways."
March 7, 173f, "Isaac Doged chosen Tithingman."
March 2G, 1739, " Isaac Doggett chosen constable and sworn."
Said Dogget then applyed to the meeting for some allo^vauce for to serve ye
Town, In s'' office above s'^ and after some Debate in s*i meeting, voted that six
pounds be allowed out of the Treasury of this Town and to be equally divided
between the three constables &c.
February 28, 1753, Isaac Doggett was paid for teaching school in
the Middle Precinct two months. April 16, 1753, Isaac Doggett was
paid for teaching school.
February 24, 1762. Isaac Doggit, yeoman, and Abigail his wife,
of Braintree, sell land in Braintree. [Suffolk Deeds, 97-156.]
Isaac Doggett died between this time and September, 1763, at
which time Mrs. Doggett is called "widow."

Mass., October 26, 1703; married Plymouth, Mass., August 10,

Seth Doggett was a " mariner," and perhaps lost at sea. He
married at Plymouth, and doubtless made that his home, as his wife
calls herself of Plymouth, in applying for letters of administi'ation.
The following from the probate office at Plymouth relate to his
estate. To Capt. Ebenezer Doggett, mariner, and Mrs. Elizabeth
Doggett, widow of Capt. Seth Doggett, mariner, deceased, both of

FOURTH GENERATION.
3589. John Doggett * (TJiomas,^ Jokn,'^ Thomas '), born Marsh-
field, Mass., 1702; died Scituate, Mass. (?), April, 1751; married
Scituate, Mass., October 5, 1726, by Rev. Nathaniel Eells, to Jemima
Turner, daughter of Thomas and Hannah Turner, of Scituate.
Issue :
3673. i. John Doggett,* born Scituate, Mass., 1730.
3674. ii. David Doggett,* born Scituate, Mass., 1734.
.John Doggett was baptized in the First Church in Marshfield, June
4, 1704. He was a "mariner," and according to Deane's History
of Scituate kept the ferry on North river, in 1730, called Doggett's
ferry (now Little's Bridge) .
His wife was daughter of Thomas Turner, a lawyer of Scituate,
and after their marriage they removed there, probably after a resi-
dence in Marshfield of about a year, as would appear by the follow-
ing deeds :
Thomas Turner of Scituate, currier, for 10£ paid by John Doggett of Marsh-
field, mariner, 5 „cres of land whereon he now dwells in Scituate, bounded N
by highway and strip of land laid out in 2"'^ Division of Scituate common, with

Captain Doggett probably made his headquarters in Boston soon
after March, 1738. From the Massachusetts State Archives, 64-132,
we have the following :
Whereas Andrew Oliver of Boston, witliin said Province aforesaid. Esq ; one
of the owners of the sloop " Swan" John Dogget, master, has represented to me

" The Fellowship Chab began in Boston, June 1, 1742, designed to
promote the interest of each other in all things in their power, as well as
to relieve such members of this society who by misfortunes and losses
shall become proper objects, according to the ability of the box. The
members to consist of such persons only who now are or have been
commanders of vessels, and admitted by approval of .a majority of
the company." Among the founders of this society was Capt. John
Doggett, and in the application for incorporation as the Boston
Marine Society (Massachusetts State Archives, 64-521), May 5, 1752,
a circular containing all the members' names is added, his name being
among those who had deceased previous to date.
Captain Doggett seems to have been somewhat unfortunate as a
mariner, as appears from his letter which was printed in the Boston
" Evening Post," of January 30, 1744: " An extract of a letter of
John Doggett of this town (who sailed in a brigantine for Jamaica the
1st of Nov. last) dated at Antigua Dec 25, 1743 " :
The 25**" of Nov. in sight of Antigua, we had the misfortune to be taken by
a Spanish privateer sloop with 75 men belonging to S* Domingo.
There was one of our men of war in sight when I was taken but by her mis-
management she neither took the privateer, nor retook my brig.
3711 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
Three days after they took me, they marooned me and two of my men, with
anotlier master they iiad taken about a month before and one of his men, five of
us in all, they gave us two pieces of beef and 20 lbs of bread. They striped me
almost naked and some of the villians attempted to kill me, but running to the
bushes, I got a club that was my friend, and should certainly destroyed all those
that put us ashore, would my companion have stood by me, but as it was they did
not all go away with whole skins. We were taken otf the island by a vessel
bound to S' Thomas and 2 days after, we met with the " Lively" man of war of
20 guns, and informed them where the privateer lay, for w^e heard them talking
of going to that 'place. The Captain of the Man of war said if I was willing to
go with him, he would go and destroy him.
We bore away after him and met with an English Privateer who went with us.
We soon found the Spaniard out at 3 o'clock in the morning, who weighed
anchor and ran into shoal water, where neither our man of war nor Privateer
could go.
At 8 o'clock in the morning the 1^' of Dec. we began to fire, the man of war
fired 350 shots and our Privateer 170 shots before the Spaniard would quit his
vessel. We killed 3 men, and wounded 3 more. The Spaniard fired at the Eng-
lish Privateer, and did him some damage but neither killed nor wounded any of
his men. At 3 P.M. we concluded to man all the boats from the man of war and
Privateer, and board the Spaniard at all events, but the}' seeing us coming with
resolution, the cowardly Dogs left their sloop (after running her ashore) and
hid themselves in the bushes.
We destroyed the sloop, and then made the best of our way for the Island.
I hope to be home in a short time by the way of Statia.
" This is the 2°*^ time Capt. Doggett has had the misfortune to be
taken by the Spaniards since the commencement of the war."

3711. vi. Sarah Doggett,^ born Boston, Mass., October 1, 1767.
Capt. Samuel Doggett, mariner and merchant, married, in 1753,
Esther Fairfield, of Boston, granddaughter of William Fairfield, of
Wenham, Mass., who was a representative for twenty-seven years,
and in 1741 speaker of the House.
Her brother. Rev. John Fairfield, H.C., 1757, was for many years
minister at Saco.
After 1757 they lived for several years in a house which Captain
Doggett bought on Marlboro' street, now a part of Washington
street, Boston ; an extract of the deed of which is as follows :
Henderson Inches of Boston, merchant, for 240£ sells Samuel Doggett of
Boston, mariner, Dwelling house on Marlboro St in Southerly part of Boston,
17 ft 11 in on Marlboro St, Aug 6, 1757. [Suffolk Deeds, 91-26.]
Captain Doggett seems to have inherited his father's interest in the
Wiscasset Company, and in the settlement of their lauds at Sheep-
scott, January 26, 1762, the company's records mention: " Samuel
Doggett paid for his lot letter A."
As a mariner he was doubtless well posted in the country near the
coast of Maine, and invested in land which at that time seemed a
most promising locality (the neighborhood of the Kennebec), as
appears in the following extract :
Francis Whitmore of Medford in County of Middlesex Mass, Merchant for
390£ lawful money paid by Samuel Doggett of Boston, County of Suffolk,
mariner, land in Bowdoinham, Avest side of Kennebec, near Swan Island, 800
acres, Feb. 21, 1765. [Lincoln Deeds, 4-32.]
The records indicate that from this time until his death he devoted
much time and money to the development of this land.
He had houses and barns built, and it is possible his family spent
a portion of each season there.
At the meetings of the Wiscasset Company, in Boston, October
20 and 27, November 21, and December 29, 1767, Capt. Samuel
Doggett is mentioned as present; and at the October 27 meeting as
being elected collector of taxes for the company.
382 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
At the company's meetings in 1768 he is mentioned as present Jan-
uary 5 and 19, March 10, 22, and 29, April 1 and 6, June 21,
July 14 and 26, August 9, and October 5. At the April 6 meeting
the following vote was passed, which explains itself :
April 6, 1768 Whereas it appears by the clerks account that Capt. Samuel
Doggett now deceased stands charged Avith the sum of 10£ O.T. for sundry
Taxes, of liis Lands and as it has been suggested by his heirs that the same has
been paid although they cannot find a Receipt therefor, and there being some
reason to think that by some mistake credit was not given for it when paid,
Voted that the heirs of said Capt Doggett and his estate be discharged of said
sum of 10£.
At the same meeting it was also voted that A. Johonnot be paid by Capt.
Samuel Doggett to be sent to Mr. James Sullivan, &c.
Capt. Samuel Doggett was present at the company's meetings in
Boston, in 1769, April 26, August 9 and 10, November 14, 17, and
21, and December 12. At the meeting August 10 a sale of land of
delinquent proprietors was held, at which he bought Lot No. 33,
containing one hundred and twelve acres and one hundred and thirty-
four rods, which belonged to the heirs of Charles Frost.
At the meetings in 1770 he was present January 2, March 12 and
13, May 1, October 23 and 26, November 19, 23, and 27, and
December 25.

At a town meeting held at Faneuil Hall March 14, 1774, twelve
wardens were chosen for the ensuing year, among whom is the name
of Capt. Samuel Doggett. Monday, November 11, 1776, at a town
meeting, sixty persons were chosen for collecting an account of the
damages sustained since the Boston Port Bill, of whom from Ward
10 was Capt. Samuel Doggett. Captain Doggett's house, ou Marlboro'
street, was built of wood and called in the records his "Mansion
House." He attended church at the "Old Brick" or First Church,
which was then located where Rogers Building now stands. His wife
received the covenant there, February 10, 1754,

May 22, 1781, an inventory of the estate of Capt. Samuel Doggett in the
county of Suffolk was taken [Suffolk Probate, 80-234], which amounted to
£651 6s. 1(1.
This inventory of the personal effects in the " Mansion House " on
Marlboro' street enables one to note the style of furnishing at that day.
A return of the inventory of all the estate that could be found in the county
of Lincoln belonging to Capt. Samuel Doggett late of Boston was made June 10,
1782, and amounted to £1057 13s. 4d. [Suffolk Probate, 84-242.]
August 30, 1782. The real estate of Samuel Doggett was divided by setting
off to the widow her dower. [Suffolk Probate, 82-699.]
Two accounts were afterward returned in relation to the settlement of the
estate [Suffolk Probate, 84-243 and 85-738], the last one including the sale of
521 acres of land, which was sold at auction April 10, 1786, and the return dated
April 27, 1786.
Esther Doggett, the wife of Capt. Samuel Doggett, sold all her
rights in the estate on Hanover street, near Friend street, which she
inherited from her father, on July 1 3, 1780. [Suffolk Deeds, 131-228.]

Capt. Noah Doggett, son of Capt. Samuel Doggett, inherited from
his father that love for travel which led him to become what was then
called a mariner.
His father died when he was but eighteen years of age, and two
years afterward he had the misfortune to lose his mother, so he was
left an orphan at twenty.
He constitutes his uncle Kenelm Winslow, of Boston, brazier, as
his guardian during his minority, which instrument is recorded in
Suffolk Probate, 39-279. In this paper he says :
I, Noah Doggett, a minor aged about 19 years, son of Samuel Doggett late of
Boston in the County of SuffoUi in N.E. mariner, deceased — and — signed and
sealed May 5, 1747.
The bond was for £100, and was signed by Kenelm Winslow,
brazier, Jacob Hurd, goldsmith, and William Baker, shop-keeper.
The records at the Boston Custom House having been removed by
the British when they evacuated the town, they are not at present
accessible to enable one to search for papers to show in what vessels
Captain Doggett sailed, to what ports, and at what dates. January
21, 1750 or 1752, he was in London, Eng., and bought a book, now
in the possession of the writer, on the fly-leaf of which he wrote his
name, "bought in London on Tower Hill, price 10£," and the date
(one of the dates named above) . The title of the book is ' ' The
English Pilot, the 4"' book. Describing the West India Navigation
from Hudson's Bay to the River Amazones, Pub Loudon. Printed
for W. & T. Mount and T. Page on Tower Hill, MDCCXLIX."
A memorandum on one of the pages gives latitude and longitude
386 doggett-daggp:tt family.
against the date May 3, 1760, which might indicate he was near the
Azores at that time. The family Bible in the possession of the
writer is inscribed " Noah Doggett, his Bible, bought in Bristol,
Sept 21, 1764, price 20/." It was printed by "Thomas Baskett,
Oxford, MDCCLXI," and shows that he was again across the water.
As an indication of what may have been a portion of his cargo on
his return trip in 1764, the writer has in his possession a glass seal
which was given him in 1886 by Mrs. Elizabeth D. Clapp, of Ded-
ham, Mass. It was found about 1864 in the garden of Jesse Clap,
who married Betsey Doggett, High street, Dedham, Mass.
The seal is about one and a half inches in diameter, of olive green,
and indicates that it once formed a portion of a bottle. On it is :
The chart liook shows evidence of having been used
N ^ at the pages giving the coasts of the Carolinas, and
particularly off Hatteras, which would seem to prove
the family tradition that he engaged at one time in
the coasting trade.
Regarding his home life, he is supposed to have lived during the
life of his first wife in the northerly part of Boston. Her family
attended the Brattle-street Church, and they were married by its
minister, Rev. Samuel Cooper, whose diary speaks of the marriage,
and that he received a fee of ^1 for his services.
In the Granary Burial-ground in Boston, near the spot w'here his
mother w^as buried, is a gravestone to the memory of this first wife,
and inscribed as follows :
Here lies the Body of
Mrs Mary Doggett
wife of Mr Noah
Doggett who died
March ye 18, 1761
In the 27th year
of her age.
Captain Doggett married 2d, Mary Alline, who belonged to an old
Boston family, and whose father and brother were for many years
registers of dt-eds for Suffolk county. The family lived on Sea
street, now called Federal street, nearly opposite where now stands
the New York & New England station. May 13, 1767, Captain
Doggett bought a house and land just beyond that occupied by the
Allines, on Sea street, the house standing on the site of the present
Essex-street extension. He bought the estate of William Faris, for
£240 (Suffolk Deeds, 110-164), but although owned by Faris it was
still occupied by the family of Knox, who had previously owned it.
Henry Knox, the seventh of ten sons, was born in this house, and
became prominent as a general in the Revolution.
Captain Doggett and family moved to the house as soon as the

Knox family had removed, and it was his liome for the rest of his
life.
It was then a most delightful spot, the lawn in front extending to
the roadway some thirty feet, while the house itself, several feet
higher than the street, overlooked the beach and harbor beyond. The
neighborhood was the best, and the house situated quite near the New
South Church, where the family attended worship.
December 11, 1763, Mary (AUine) Doggett entered into full com-
munion at this church, and Captain Doggett did the same May 2,
1784. September 21, 1784, he bought pew No. 57, for £9 lawful, of
Dea. John Preston, and received his deed from a committee of the
proprietors.
The period of the Revolution proved very disastrous to Captain
Doggett, and tradition tells of the loss of his vessels by seizure and
decay.
During the siege of Boston, his house was in such an exposed posi-
tion the family closed it, and visited in Newburyport.
Some of the British officers, finding the house deserted, used it as
their headquarters until the evacuation. After the war, Captain
Doggett, owing to his losses, was unable to again take up his vocation
of " mariner," and therefore established himself as a shop-keeper.
The Boston Directory for 1796, 1798, 1800, 180,5, mentions him as
Noah Doggett, captain. Sea street.
Captain Noah Doggett, personally, is spoken of as a man of com-
manding presence ; his face had a stern expression ; he had great
will-power.
He was a man of but few words, very careful that all his expres-
sions were true, an upright and just man, beloved and respected by
his fellow-men. In his declining years he was comforted by his wife
and children in his mansion house overlooking the sea, where he died
in 1805. He was buried in a tomb, probably in the Granary Burial-
ground, as appears by a bill of Edward Vannevar, in the possession of
the writer, which makes a charge for opening the tomb, tolling the
bells, and for the interment.
His wife, Mary (AUine) Doggett, died in 1824, at the house of her
son, corner of Hollis and Tremont streets, and was buried in tomb
No. 182 in the Granary Ground.
In Suffolk Probate, No. 22,501, is the will of Capt. Noah Doggett,
as follows :
In the name of God Amen, I Noah Doggett of Boston in the County of Suf-
folk and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, shop keeper, being in good health of
Body and through the goodness of God, of sound disposing mind and memory
and considering the uncertainty of life do make and ordain this my last Will and
Testament as follows.
Imprimis, I will and order that all my just debts and funeral expences be well
and truly paid by my Executrix with all convenient speed after my decease.

Mr. Ebenczer Doggett moved from Plymouth to Boston about
1756. They had belonged to the church in Plymouth, and on ar-
riving in Boston attended the First Church. They lived in a house
toward "Oliver's Dock," where they were burned out in the great
Boston fire of March 10, 1760.
About 1761 Ebenezer Doggett removed with his family to Liver-
pool, N.S., to which place his brother Samuel had previously gone.
The grant of the township of Liverpool was not passed until
November 20, 1764, and was then made to one hundred and forty-two
proprietors, one share being reserved for the Church of England and
one for schools.
The eighth name in this list is Ebenezer Doggett.
A letter written by him is dated Liverpool, March 1, 1767 (now
in the possession of George Sampson, Esq., 1889). It relates to his
daughter Elizabeth, and will be found under her name.
Ebenezer Doggett witnessed a deed at Liverpool Feb 3, 1767 and again Feb

Soon after his marriage he removed to Liverpool, N.S., of
Avhich place he was one of the first settlers. In 1759 a warrant of
survey was issued b}^ Governor Lawrence, the wording of which
begins as follows :
"Whereas John Doggett, Elisha Freeman, Samuel Doggett and
Thomas Foster on behalf of themselves and the other persons herein-
aftei" mentioned, have made application to me for a township within
this Province, and have undertaken a speedy and effectual settlement
of said township," etc. In 1761 he was one of a committee of five
appointed to la^^ out the lands.
The grant of the township to one hundred and forty-two persons
was made November 20, 1764, and he is named the fourth one in the
list.
Soon after the decease of Samuel Doggett, his widow wrote a letter
which is now (1889) in the possession of Beuj. Drew, Esq., and
which was found in the house of his grandfather, of the same name :
Liverpool Nov 26, 1773
Dear Sister :

children that are with me but how it is with tliem that are there with you God

sion, which was made for her mother, says: " The spread is beauti-
ful, and although made so long ago can be admired still. I well
remember my great-grandmother, a noble woman ; her name and
fame will never die, but generation after generation arise and call her
blessed ; ' Her price above rubies,' a great-grandchild's testimony."

THOMAS DOGGETT, OF MARSHFIELD. 395
From the " History of the CouDty of Queens, by James F. More,
Esq., Halifax, 1873," we read: "The New England fishermen,
being largely engaged in prosecuting the fisheries during the summer
months, were, after the expulsion of the Acadians, attracted by the
munificent offers of the Government, and readily consented to become
permanent settlers. To further this oTjject they petitioned by a com-
mittee appointed from among themselves and asked that a township
might be granted to them on the southern coast of Nova Scotia to the
eastward of Cape Sable and around port Rossignol. In 1759 a warrant
of survey was issued by Governor Lawrence to John Doggett, Elisha
Freeman, Samuel Doggett, and Thomas Foster, on behalf of them-
selves, and the other pei-sons after named, to lay out a township to
be called Liverpool, bounded by the sea coast of Cape Sable shore,
extending fourteen miles into the country and containing according to
the bounds about 100,000 acres.
" John Doggett, who came with the first settlers from New England
in 1759, was one of the most prominent men among the first appli-
cants, and had it not been for his exertions in persuading the settlers
to remain the whole number would have returned. As it was many
of the young men returned. Those whom he persuaded to remain he
kept at his own house during the first winter, and provided for them
as best he could, at a considerable outlay, for which the government,
in acknowledgment of his patriotic sacrifices, partially reimbursed
him."
He w^as one of the first appointed to office in Liverpool township ;
first, as truck-master, to have the management of the trade with
the Indians; and in 1764 he w^as appointed justice of the Inferior
Court of Common Pleas for Queens County, justice of the peace, and
a militia officer.
' ' His dwelling-house was situated on Doggett's point, in front of
the old town plot.
" He "was considered a very trustworthy and respectable man.
" He had, no doubt, been frequently on the coast previous to his
becoming a settler at Liverpool. In 1764, the population of Liver-
pool was five hundred. J^Iay, 17G1, Capt. John Doggett was
instructed to hire a vessel for the purpose of removing to the town-
ship twenty families and sixty head of cattle. This last for the use
of the settlers.
" The expense incurred in this undertaking was to be defrayed by
the government. In this same year a committee was appointed to lay
out the lands under the first warrant. This committee consisted of
John Dogget, Elisha Freeman, Samuel Doggett, Nathan Tory, and
Nathan Tuoper.
"In 1763 petitions began to be presented asking for grants of land
396 DOGGETT-DAGGETT FAMILY.
outside of the township, aud among these one from John Doggett,
Esq., for Port Mouton island, which he had previously held under
license and improved. The grant was issued to him, and a portion
of the island is still in the possession of the family. In 1770 John
Doggett was elected as the member for Liverpool to the House of
Assembly, and held the office till his death, in 1772, when Seth
Harding took his place."
Nathaniel Godfrey of Liverpool sells John Dogget 4 Sawmill on ^Nlillbrook
Sept 27, 1762. [Queens Deeds, 1-3.]
This h sawmill Dogget sells to Lemuel Drew Oct. 24, 1767. [Queens Deeds,
1-115.]
Nov. 8, 1766, John Doggett became bound to Joshua Mager which bond was
released to Ichabod Doggett, and Joseph Verge, by J. Brook Watson of Loudon
Eng. Nov 10, 1797 acting as executor of Mr Mager. [Queens Deeds, 4-284.]
The first register of deeds in the township of Liverpool was John
Doggett, and his writing, clear aud distinct, may be seen on the
Queens county records; the first deed entered being April, 1764,
and the last in his handwriting, 18th November, 1771.
17 April 1772. Letter of adm. was granted on the Estate of John Dogget
Esq. to Abner Dogget [Queens Probate, 1-24]. The final settlement occurs 15
Oct 1793 when John Thomas Esq. atty. to Abner Dogget adm. to the estate of
the late John Dogget Esq dec'd, exhibits his account in selling said estate since
his appointment as adm. The whole demand by a debt due Job Prim as appears
by an order of council Dec 11, 1788. Principal £60-0-0
Int. 16 years 57-12-0
Real estate sold in pursuance to order of council amounted to £124-4-0 less
expenses £12-4-0 which the court ordered paid to Prim. [Queens Probate,
1-140.]
Joseph Verge, Esq., attorney for Abigail Doggett, of Liverpool,
Queens Co., N.S., receives £279, being a legacy paid under the will
of her father Benjamin House, by her brother Benjamin House, Jr.,
aud also for land which came by their mother Abigail House, de-
ceased, dated September 27, 1784. [O.C. Records, 29-188.]
The final disposal of land in Scituate does not take place until
1798, when "Abigail Doggett of Liverpool, Queens Co. N.S. widow
of the late John Doggett Esq. of said Liverpool dec'd puts her son
Ichabod Doggett of Liverpool, mariner, as her attoruey especially to
sell laud in Scituate, Aug. 23, 1798." [Plymouth Deeds, 85-20.]
Acting under this authority Ichabod Doggett sells ^ of 2 pieces of salt marsh
