• History: birth to death, Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts

Notes:

2ed Marriage: MacKenzie has her marrying Jonathan Delano on 12 January 1699.

History:
On 30 October 1672, "Mary Churchill coniplaineth that Thomas Doten is departed the gou^rinent, and it is doubtful whether hee will returne againe and hauing left her in a poor deplored condition and hath sued out an attachment on such goods and chatties and all dues and rights appertaining to the said Doten to be for her support." The jury, finding in her favor, she thereupon attached "Item. Thomas Dotens third of a boate in ptenorship with Lift. Morton and Thomas Howes: his third likewise of a psell of netts in the same ptenorship. with his third of the roads ankers and sailes apjiertainiug to the said boats: as alsoe a gun in the costody of Ephraim Morton: a rapier at George Mortons: forty shillings for the hier of the boate due from Richard Willis, and a psell of boards in the costody of dluers psons."

On 5 June 1672, she was fined £6.

On 30 October 1672, Mary sued Thomas for having begotten her with child and she was awarded all of his property.

Notes:

Marriages: The question of whether Thomas Doty had one wife or two, has been a matter of conjecture for many years. An examination of all the many court documents proves that Thomas Doty had only one wife, Mary Churchill.
