ALDRICH, ARMENIA S.
This line requires more research to join the Mayflower Society, as Armenia's Doten/Doty grandmother had no birth record, no death record, her marriage record had no parents, the dates on all the vital records & gravestone are slightly off, her husband's Revolutionary War pension named her but nothing else, and James Doten's will named a daughter "Hope." Also, the family went to RI for a while and several birth places have been given for Hope's husband, helpfully surnamed "Smith," plus I found no birth or marriage record for their daughter Harriet, Armenia's mother. The wording in the book with this photo gives the impression that the Mayflower lineage was something the author found in a book rather than heard from the family. Assuming the line is correct, Armenia was a Gen 8 Doty and also a Cooke & Hopkins. (See those sections.) Armenia moved with her parents to NH at about age 13 and there married a Nathaniel White. They had 3 sons & grandchildren, all in Concord, NH, and a daughter Armenia, widow of a Horatio Hobbs, living with her mother and her 3 children in Concord. Armenia was first president of the NH Woman's Suffrage Association so probably left a good paper record of her adult activities, if not her genealogy. Her line runs: Harriet (Smith) Aldrich, Hope (Doten) Smith, James Doten, Isaac, Isaac, John, Edward Doty of the Mayflower. Image and info from Mary Elvira Elliot, et al., comp., Representative Women of New England (Boston: New England Historical Publishing, 1904), 134-6, digitized by the Boston Public Library. The quality of the photo in the scanned version of this public domain book is terrible but the creator of her wikipedia page must have scanned from a hard copy. Thank you!

Babbitt, Adeline Lavinia
Adeline (Babbitt) Browne (1815-1888), daughter of Jael Edson (below) and Dr. Snell Babbitt of Massachusetts, and sister of Nathan Snell Babbitt, below, was a Gen 7 Doty and Soule descendant and a Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins and Howland-Tilley descendant, all on her mother's side. Jael's descent is detailed in the relevant GSMD Silver and Pink books. Image from William Bradford Browne, comp., The Babbitt Family History 1643-1900 (Taunton: C. A. Hack & Son, 1912), p. 344, scanned at the Library of Congress.
Babbitt, Nathan Snell
Dr. Nathan S. Babbitt (1812-1889), son of Dr. Snell Babbitt and Jael Edson (below) of Massachusetts, brother of Adeline (above), was a Gen 7 Doty and Soule descendant and a Gen 7/8 Alden-Mullins and Howland-Tilley descendant, all on his mother's side. Jael's descent is detailed in the relevant GSMD Silver and Pink books. Image from William Bradford Browne, comp., The Babbitt Family History 1643-1900 (Taunton: C. A.

BENNETT, ARCHIE COLLAMORE
Generation 9 Doty descendant Archie Bennett and several of his Collamore cousins (below) assisted in the compilation of the book from which this image was taken. His line runs: Katherine Maria (Collamore) Bennett, William Anson Collamore, Barker, Anthony, Jr., Susanna (Oakman) Collamore, Elizabeth (Doty) Oakman, Edward Doty, Edward of the Mayflower. The Doty Silver Book gets as far as the marriage of Barker Collamore to Sally Anthony. It was through his mother Marcy (Barker) Collamore that Archie came by his Warren and Gen. 11 Howland-Tilley genes. Remaining generations can be found in vital records. Archie and Newton (below) were both descendants of pilgrims Richard Warren, John Howland, and the Tilley family also. See those writeups for the lineages. Image and info from Charles Hatch, Genealogy of the Descendants of Anthony Collamer of Scituate, Massachusetts (Salem: Newcomb & Gauss, 1915), pp. 3-4, 57, 58, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

BRAMHALL, GRACE
The photo on the left was cropped from a larger one on Digital Commonwealth showing Grace Bramhall (b 1874) and a group of other female college students on an outing in 1894. Frustratingly, she was the only one named and the writeup on the photo is of "Nine Plymouth girls.... presumably all from Plymouth." You are probably looking at an array of Standishes, Aldens, etc. She was also identified in another photo, among a group of 4 in gym clothes, and in another she was unidentified but part of a student outing with males and females. Her lines were unusually difficult to trace quickly, possibly because her grandfather Benjamin Bramhall seems to have been a different Benjamin than the one who married into the Warrens and numerous other Mayflower families. However, if you can find his parents you may find pilgrim stock there, too. Grace's Gen 9 Doty line runs: Robert Eldridge Bramhall, Mary (Weston) Bramhall, Elkanah Weston, Hannah (Curtis) Weston, Dorothy (Delano) Curtis, Hannah (Doty) Delano, Thomas Doty, Edward of the Mayflower. See Grace's write-ups in the Soule & Alden-Mullins sections for those lineages. All images from the Bridgewater State University, Maxwell Library, courtesy Digital Commonwealth.

BRIGGS, PRISCILLA A.
Given that her great- and great-great grandfather were named Alden Briggs, it would not be surprising if her middle name were Alden. Priscilla is also a Warren and according to the Doty book compilers, great-great grandfather Alden was an Alden-Mullins, but no supporting evidence was given for that statement. Priscilla's birth record also may be difficult to find if it were unrecorded, overseas (her father and grandfather were "traders"), or if she was listed as "female" Briggs. The brother in the 1920 census with her did have a birth record, so assuming I picked the right Priscilla A. Briggs living in Brookline, which is where her college yearbook said she lived, this is her Gen 9 Doty line: Henry L. Briggs, George C., Alden, Mercy (Hatch) Briggs, Seth Hatch, Isaac, Mary (Doty) Hatch, Edward Doty. See the Warren section for that lineage and let me know if you find out what the Alden-Mullins link was. Image and Priscilla's residence from The Yearbook of the Massachusetts Normal Art School (Boston: 1917), digitized on the Internet Archive. The pages in the yearbook were not numbered.

CARVER, LUCIUS
Born in Marshfield in 1840 he enlisted in Boston in 1862 - in the 7th Michigan Cavalry. How that worked I do not know, but he had a short but respectful writeup in a book produced by the 7th Michigan Cavalry Association around 1902, noting that he was killed in action in Front Royal, VA in 1864, buried on the battlefield, but later his remains were moved to "his old home," presumably Marshfield. Sure enough, there he is on findagrave, with a large tombstone. While he left no descendants, he had 3 siblings who may have, and they would also be five-time descendants (!) of Edward Doty and Warren descendants. The 1st (Gen 9) line runs as follows: Ira Carver, Barstow, Alanson, Israel, Abigail (Sherman) Carver, Ebenezer Sherman, Desire (Doty) Sherman, Edward Doty of the Mayflower. The 2nd (Gen 9) is: Ira Carver, Barstow, Alanson, Margaret (Sherman) Carver, Elisha Sherman, Ebenezer, Desire (Doty) Sherman, Edward Doty. His 3rd (Gen 8) is: Ira Carver, Lucy (Hatch) Carver, Seth Hatch, Seth, Isaac, Mary (Doty) Hatch, Edward Doty. The 4th (Gen 8) is: Ira Carver, Lucy (Hatch) Carver, Mary/Molly (Hatch) Hatch, Isaac, Mary (Doty) Hatch, Edward Doty. The 5th (Gen 8) is: Susan (Ames) Carver, John Tilden Ames/Eames, Jedediah, Mary (Oakman) Eames, Elizabeth (Doty) Oakman, Edward, Pilgrim Edward Doty. The birth of Alanson Carver is in the Doty silver book Part 2 and son Barstow's marriage is in Part 3; John Tilden Eames/Ames is in Part 1. The vital records are online at the NEHGS. See the Warren section for that lineage. Image and some info from William O. Lee, comp., Personal and Historical Sketches and Facial History of and by Members of the Seventh Regiment Michigan Volunteer Cavalry 1862-1865 (Detroit: Ralston-Stroup, ca 1902), p. 89, on the shelf at the University of Michigan. The title means exactly what it says - each soldier wrote a short piece about a memorable moment in his wartime career and most submitted a photo of themselves as youths in uniform plus one as an older civilian. Brilliant idea.

CLAPP, CLIFT ROGERS
Clift (b. Scituate, MA 1861) was a Gen. 9 Doty via his maternal great grandmother, Abigail Rogers, as well as a quadruple Warren, an Alden-Mullins, and a Bradford. His people were in the Marshfield area for centuries so are not hard to trace on the NEHGS. The 2d Abigail's birth and marriage are in the Doty silver book Part 1, 2d edition, and that mentions the other lines. The Doty line runs as follows: Frances Abigail/Abigail Frances (Rogers) Clapp, Luther Rogers, Jr., Abigail Little (Tilden) Rogers, Abigail (Little) Tilden, Sarah (Baker) Little, Patience (Doty) Baker, John Doty, Edward Doty of the Mayflower. Image and a little info from Nelson M. Stetson, comp., Stetson Kindred of America (Incorporated) (Rockland, MA: A. I. Randall, 1914), p. 63, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

COLE, KATHERINE/CATHERINE "KATE" JENNEY
Look for her under the married name "Smyth," last seen in 1908 at her 10-year New Bedford High School reunion, where this picture was taken. She should be a Mayflower descendant via both parents, so look for her mother's line in the Warren section. Via her father, Kate was a Gen 10 Doty as follows: Theodore William Cole, Mercy Morse (LeBaron) Cole, Joseph LeBaron, Japhet, Hannah (Turner) LeBaron, Japhet Turner, Hannah (Hatch) Turner, Mary (Doty) Hatch, Edward Doty of the Mayflower. The birth and marriage of the younger Japhet is in the Doty silver book. He was supposedly a Revolutionary War soldier but is still waiting for a descendant to join the DAR or SAR! He married a Sarah Holmes. There were several Holmes families in Plymouth & Bristol Counties in the mid-1700s. There could be another Mayflower line there. Image from a newspaper photo now part of the New Bedford Free Public Library collection, digitized by Digital Commonwealth.

COLLAMORE, CAROLINE DAVIS
Twice a Generation 7 Doty descendant, Caroline Loving (b. 1838 Pembroke, MA; d. 1908 Ann Arbor, MI) was the sister of Ellen Bolles and Sarah Hitchcock, below. All three were the children of Anthony Collamore by his second wife, Caroline Hatch, b. Pembroke, MA 1807. They married there in 1829 but the marriage was reportedly also recorded in Providence. It is through Caroline that their double Doty lineage can be traced via her parents, first half-cousins, as follows: Caroline (Hatch) Collamore, Isaac Hatch, Isaac, Isaac, Mary (Doty) Hatch, Edward Doty of the Mayflower and secondly: Caroline (Hatch) Collamore, Sarah (Hatch) Hatch, Seth Hatch, Isaac, Mary (Doty) Hatch, and Edward Doty again. Seth and Isaac of Generation 4 were by different wives. (Note that the Doty Silver Books are disarmingly thin. Some Silver Books have all of the pilgrim's children in one volume, then by the time Gen. 4 or 5 came along the descendants would not all fit into one book, so a second or third were added. Alden is like that. Doty divided the children up front so to find this family you must consult volume 11, part 3, and not parts 1 or 2.) The marriage of the Collamore sisters' parents is in part 3. Their births can be found in the Pembroke VRs available on the NEHGS.

COLLAMORE, ELLEN
Ellen Bolles of Toledo, OH (b. 1843) was a double Generation 7 Doty descendant and the sister of Caroline Loving, above, and Sarah Hitchcock, below. She and Sarah, along with cousin Archie Collamore Bennett, were credited with "the final work of gathering the material and having it printed." See Caroline's entry for their lines of descent.

COLLAMORE, GEORGE A.
Dr. George A. Collamore (1833-1903) graduated from Harvard Medical School, served in the Civil War, and was a public health official in Toledo, OH. All of these may be sources of other and perhaps better images. He was the brother of Caroline and Ellen (above) and Sarah (below) and thus also a double Gen. 7 Doty via their mother Caroline (Hatch) Doty. For more information see Caroline's entry.

COLLAMORE, GEORGE ENOCH
Like his brother Gilman, below, George Enoch Collamore (named for both his grandfathers) was a Gen. 7 Doty as well as a Gen. 9/10 Alden-Mullins and Gen. 9 Warren. See Gilman's entry and their Alden-Mullins & Warren writeups for more detail.

COLLAMORE, GILMAN
Brothers Gilman (1834-1888) and George Enoch (above) Collamore were Gen. 7 Doty descendants, Gen. 9/10 Alden-Mullins, and Gen. 9 Warren. The book from which this photo was taken has Collamore cousins that follow 2 different Doty lines and 2 different Warren lines. It is actually the Doty book that gets the farthest with this branch, as it records the marriage of George Little and Rachel Rogers, the parents of Polly (Little) Collamore (ca 1789-1869), second wife of Col. John Collamore and mother of Gilman and George. Vital records online take care of the rest. The brothers' Doty line runs: Polly (Little) Collamore, George Little, Penelope (Eames) Little, Mary (Oakman) Eames, Elizabeth (Doty) Oakman, Pilgrim Edward Doty. Image from Charles Hatch, Genealogy of the Descendants of Anthony Collamer of Scituate, Massachusetts (Salem: Newcomb & Gauss, 1915), pp. 89, 94-5, 96, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
COLLAMORE, NEWTON LEON
Like Sarah, Adeline, Ellen, and Archie Bennett on this page, Gen. 9 Doty dscendant Newton Leon Collamore helped with the compilation and publication of the book from which this image was taken. His specialty was Vermont, where his family had been for several generations. His line runs: Edwin Samuel Collamore, Ira Allen, Samuel, Anthony, Jr, Susanna (Oakman) Collamore, Elizabeth (Doty) Oakman, Edward Doty, Edward of the Mayflower. The Doty Silver Book gets as far as the marriage of Samuel Collamore to Elizabeth Van Ornum. Newton and Archie (above) were both descendants of pilgrims Richard Warren, John Howland, and the Tilley family also. Image and info from Charles Hatch, Genealogy of the Descendants of Anthony Collamer of Scituate, Massachusetts (Salem: Newcomb & Gauss, 1915), pp. 3-4, 32, 38, digitized by the Boston Public Library. |

Double Generation 7 Doty line-carrier Sarah Hatch (Collamore) Hitchcock (b. 1831 Pembroke, d. 1911 Toledo, OH) was the sister of Caroline Loving and Ellen Bolles, above. She and Ellen, along with cousin Archie Collamore Bennett, were credited with "the final work of gathering the material and having it printed." See Caroline's entry for their lines of descent.

COOLIDGE, (JOHN) CALVIN, JR.
Yes, this is the Calvin Coolidge who later became president of the United States. Here, though, he is a 36-year- old MA state congressman (L) and a 28-year-old Hampshire Co. title examiner (R). He was a Gen 10 Doty and a Gen. 10/11 Alden-Mullins. The Doty silver book goes one generation farther than the Alden, thru Gen 6, and the rest is online. "Silent Cal's" Doty line runs: Victoria Josephine (Moor) Coolidge, Abigail (Franklin) Moor, Priscilla (Pinney/Penney) Franklin, Jonathan Pinney/Penney, Elizabeth (Delano) Penney, Jonathan Delano, Hannah (Doty) Delano, Thomas Doty, Edward of the Mayflower.

CORNISH, ALBERT JUDSON
Son of Joel Northrop Cornish, below, judge Albert J. Cornish (b. 1855) may have been born in NY or IA but practiced law in Lincoln, NE, where he was city attorney, state legislator, then a judge. Given his line of work there should be a good paper trail and other photos. He had 3 small children by the time this book was published, so if you are a Cornish from Nebraska, this might be your line. See Joel's writeup for Albert's Gen. 8 Doty lineage. Note that around 1900 full beards were going out of style so you can get an idea of what Joel would have looked like as a younger man w/o facial foliage from Albert's picture. Image and info from Joseph E. Cornish, The History and Genealogy of the Cornish Families in America (Boston: Ellis, 1907), p. 190.

Born in 1828, probably in Lee Centre, NY, to Allen Cornish and Clarissa Cornish, distant cousins originally from the Plymouth area, Col. Cornish was a Gen. 7 Doty descendant via his father. Allen's birth and marriage to Clarissa are in the Doty Silver Book, Vol. 1. Joel's line runs: Allen Cornish, Abigail (Clark) Cornish, Experience (Doty) Clark, Josiah Doty, John, Edward Doty of the Mayflower. As a descendant of Edward Doty's son John, he is also a Cooke and Hopkins. See those write-ups for those lines. Joel served with the Iowa Cavalry in the Civil War, according to the book from which this image was taken, so once you find his unit you might be able to locate pictures of him at a younger age. He is the father of Albert J. Cornish, above. That said, to prove this lineage you will have to write to Lee Centre for Joel's birth records, to somewhere in NY or IA for his marriage, to Iowa for the son's birth, and probably to Omaha for his death. Or you can spend $85 online at the National Archives, which may have all of the above in his Civil War pension file (pension, not service.) Look first on fold3.com to make sure he got a pension. Most, but not all, did. Image and info from Joseph E. Cornish, The History and Genealogy of the Cornish Families in America (Boston: Ellis, 1907), pp. 154-5, 172-3, digitized by the G word.

CUSHMAN, GEORGE HOMER
His picture is on Digital Commonwealth as "Mr. G. H. Cushman," courtesy of the Brockton, MA Public Library, but there was only one G. H. Cushman in town then. He was a Doty, Allerton, Alden-Mullins, Brewster, Cooke, Hopkins, and Warren descendant. (See those sections for the lineages.) His wife, Rachel B. Jones (1822-1894), was also on Digital Commonwealth as "Mrs. G. H. Cushman" but George (1820-1900) had just the one wife. (See the Alden-Mullins, Chilton, and Cooke sections for her lines.) George's Gen 7 Doty line runs as follows: Nathaniel Cushman, Mercy (Morton) Cushman, Nathaniel Morton, Martha (Doty) Morton, Edward Doty, Edward of the Mayflower. The 1809 marriage of George's parents is in the Doty silver book, so if you are George's descendant (or collateral) you can't get much better than that for an easy way to join the Mayflower Society.

Delano, [Christopher] Columbus
The Hon. [Christopher] Columbus Delano of Ohio was a Generation 7 Doty descendant and a Generation 7/8 Alden-Mullins descendant via his paternal great-great grandparents, as well as a Generation 8 Richard Warren descendant via great-grandmother Sarah Bartlett. He is listed in Muriel Curtis Cushing, comp., Philip Delano of the "Fortune" 1621 and his Descendants in the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Generations, Part 2 (Plymouth: GSMD, 2011).

DOTEN, EBENEZER
This image was made on the subject's 91st birthday and he made it another few years. I wish I had a clear scan of a hard copy because he looks pretty sharp. He is also in the Doty Silver Book, Vol. 1, as a Gen. 6 Doty (Gen 7 Cooke & Hopkins) with his parents, also an Ebenezer, mother Mercy Whitten/Whiting, and his 8 siblings. The names is spelled "Doty" there but "Doten" in records and the book from which this picture was taken. His son Ebenezer #3 married a Deborah Soule and his whole clan emigrated to Oneida Co, NY circa 1825 so look for Soule descendants there by the name of Doten (or maybe Doty.) Ebenezer's line runs as follows: Ebenezer Doten/Doty, John, John, John, Edward Doty of the Mayflower. (See Cooke and Hopkins for that line.) I did not find any Ebenezer Doten or Doty on the DAR's GRS and they likely did some sort of Revolutionary service so one of you ladies needs to get crackin'. Check them out in Massachusetts Soldiers & Sailors (all volumes downloadable on the Internet Archive courtesy of the Boston Public Library) and in the Plympton and Carver town records. Those may be available on familysearch.org. The Oneida book says the family emigrated from Middleborough in 1825 so there might be town or military service that would qualify descendants for US Daughters of 1812 or the General Society of the War of 1812 as well.)

Doty, Alva H.
Alva Doty, a New York City public health physician was a Generation 8 descendant of pilgrim Edward Doty. This photo was taken around 1910 at about 56 years of age. Courtesy Library of Congress, Bain Collection, LC-DIG-ggbain-05270.
DOTY, GEORGE W.
The W. is for either Walton (per the BR) or Walter (per the Doty genealogy.) He was born in Montpelier, VT but apparently orphaned at an early age because he was adopted by a farmer named O. L. Metcalf. The larger (but still blurry) picture in Successful Vermonters shows him with a massive amount of military regalia and a sword and the writeup confirms that he served for VT in the Civil War and then joined the Grand Army of the Republic and worked his away up to Department (state) commander. The circumstances of his being orphaned are a mystery but I'm sure he has a pension file full of biographical documentation that you can purchase from the National Archives. He has a pension card on fold3.com, and it says he died 20 Aug. 1910. George left two daughters. If they had descendants who wish to join the Mayflower Society they will need to provide the missing links from George W. to his grandfather Thomas. His Gen. 8 line, beginning with his father, runs: John Doty, Thomas, John, Edward, Ellis, Joseph, Edward of the Mayflower. The image and life story comes from William H. Jeffrey, Successful Vermonters: A Modern Gazetteer of Lamoille, Franklin, and Grand Isle Counties (East Burke, VT: Historical Publishing, 1907), pp. 57+, digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library. I was able to find his parents thanks to Ethan Allen Doty's The Doty-Doten Family in America (Brooklyn: author, 1897), pp. 717, 799-800, digitized by the same library. It says George's father died in 1861 and that he had two older sisters, and his mother remarried after the father's death. The plot thickens...

DOTY, JAMES DUANE
While traveling in Wisconsin, I saw numerous references at historic sites to a developer named James Duane Doty. He turned out to be the second governor of the Wisconsin Territory (1841-44), later a U.S. Congressman from WI (1849-53), and the first governor of the Utah Territory (1863-65), where he died. He was born in New York ca. 1799 and first moved to Michigan, a common migration pattern out of NY, but per wikipedia returned to NY from MI for a bride and also resided briefly in the Washington, D.C. area. Thus his records will be in multiple places and James did have a son and a daughter (Mrs. John Fitzgerald) who lived to adulthood and had their own children in various parts of the U.S. James and childrenhave entries in the pretty reliable Doty-Doten Family genealogy available for download on Internet Archive (archive.org) and his father's birth is in the Doty silver books, including the digitized Gen. 5 on the New England Historic Genealogical Society (americanancestors.org) web site. Here is James's Gen 7 line: Chillus Doty, Theodorus, Edward, Ellis, Joseph, Edward of the Mayflower. The 2nd wife the Doty-Doten author assigned to Joseph Doty is probably wrong; best guess is Deborah Ellis of Sandwich, MA, daughter of John Ellis & Elizabeth Freeman of the nonBrewster Freemans. If you have access to the Doty silver books, see what they say. A Matthew Brady daguerrotype, the image is courtesy of the Henry Elias Howland collection at the Beinecke Library, Yale University.

Edson, Jael
According to the Babbitt Family History, Jael (Edson) Babbitt (1787-1866) was a Soule and Alden-Mullins descendant. Research in the Silver & Pink Books revealed that she was Gen 6 Soule (via her mother, Rhoda Peterson) and Gen 6/7 Alden-Mullins (via her maternal grandmother Ruth Delano) but was also Gen 6 Doty via the Petersons and Gen 6/7 Howland-Tilley by her paternal grandmother, Jael (Bennett) Edson. The GSMD's Alden, Soule, and Howland books document her parents; Jael herself is in the Doty Silver Book. She was the mother of Adeline Lavinia (Babbitt) Browne and Nathan Snell Babbitt, above.

FIELD, WILLIAM LAWRENCE
If you can find his mother's birth record and prove her parentage, you can demonstrate that William was twice a Gen 8 Doty ancestor and a Gen 9 Cooke & Hopkins descendant as well. The Doty Silver Book Part 1, 2d ed, will get you as far as the marriage of his maternal grandparents, Susannah Reynolds (the line carrier) and Oliver Howard. Tracing Susannah's line backwards you will see that she was descended from Francis Cooke and Stephen Hopkins, as Edward Doty's son John married Elizabeth Cooke, a granddaughter of the two Mayflower pilgrims via son Jacob Cooke and daughter Damaris Hopkins. Susannah Reynolds' maternal grandfather Japhet Turner, was also a Doty descendant. William's first Doty line runs: Bernice (Howard) Field, Susannah (Reynolds) Howard, Betty (Turner) Reynolds, Elizabeth (Morse) Turner, Elizabeth (Doty) Morse, John Doty, Edward. His second line is Bernice (Howard) Field, Susannah (Reynolds) Howard, Betty (Turner) Reynolds, Japhet Turner, Hannah (Hatch) Turner, Mary (Doty) Hatch, Edward Doty. See his Cooke and Hopkins writeups for those specifics, but they will be very similar. William's father Zophar Field is not difficult to find on the NEHGS and neither is his mother, as "Bernice Field." I spotted nothing in a quick search that gave her parents. Image and info from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 314, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

FULLER, ALBERT H.
Albert's photo is in the Brockton, MA library's collection (in Plymouth County) and was digitized for DigitalCommonwealth. He is a descendant of Edward Doty, Samuel Fuller, Francis Eaton, Francis Cooke, John Alden, John Billington, George Soule, Myles Standish, William Mullins, and Stephen Hopkins, with pilgrims on both sides of his family. The Doty silver book from the General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD) gets as far as the birth of his great grandfather, John Fuller and his marriage to Betty/Betsy Smith. Part Two of the Billington silver book set gets the farthest, to the marriage of Albert's paternal grandparents, Consider Fuller and Mercy Thompson. The vital records on the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) site takes the line to Albert, and hopefully beyond if you are his descendant. Starting with his father, Albert's Gen 10 line should run: Charles T. Fuller, Consider, John, Elizabeth (Doty) Fuller, John Doty, John, John, John, Edward of the Mayflower. You can get a better look online. See the other sections for Albert's other lines. At least one of them must have a really good sideburns gene.

GAMMONS, HERMAN & MAY AGNES
Cropped from a photo of his college baseball team (several of them Mayflower descendants) in their 1898 yearbook, the face of Herman (b. Bridgewater 1880) was spotted on 3 team photos but only identified by name in 1900. However, the general description on his WWI draft registration matched (slender, 5'11", brown hair, blue eyes.) By then he was married & a principal at a senior high school in Chelsea, near Boston. Sister May (b. 1885) likewise entered teaching. She married Richard Patrick Roche of Cohasset in 1915 so any descendants may have that surname. The siblings' lines include Doty, White, Brewster, Alden-Mullins, and Howland-Tilley ancestry. Their Gen 10 Doty line runs as follows, beginning with their mother: Caroline W. (Sherman) Gammons, Selina S. (White) (Sherman) Smith, Phineas White, William, William, John, Martha (Doty) White, Thomas Doty, Edward of the Mayflower. See the other sections on this website for their other lines and Herman's 1899 and 1900 team photos.

GIFFORD, L.
A relative of the other L. & of S. Gifford on this page, all three are Doty, Cooke, Alden-Mullins, Brewster, and Warren descendants. Their Doty lines converge in the Holmes family of Bristol County, MA, descendants of Desire Doty via one of her three husbands. The setting in the photo from which this closeup was cropped looks like Gen. 8 L. Gifford (to your left) was in his poultry-farming years. These 3 photos are not for download, republication, or reuse anywhere, anytime, and for any purpose. This is partly because 2 of the three are from a scan made by a now-deceased relative, of a random pile of unidentified photos of her ancestors all together on one page. By the process of deduction, elimination, personal acquaintance with one of the three, family resemblances to modern descendants, and a photo of one in old age, I am 99% sure who they are but make no guarantees. The other reason is simply privacy and copyright law (I don't know who owns the originals and where they are.)

GOODSPEED, ANNA
According to the 2-volume Brewster genealogy published in 1908, Anna was a Gen 11 Doty and a Gen 10 White & Brewster, all on her mother's side. The Love Brewster Pink Book and the White & Doty Silver Books by the GSMD confirm that, and Doty Part 1 2d ed adds Nathaniel Brewster's marriage to Ruth Dimmock. The image is from a Goodspeed family genealogy and the author was apparently unaware of anything beyond the Brewster line (Anna's mother's maiden name was Brewster) - it pays to consult more than one source! See the other write-ups for those lines. Since this family moved among CT, VT, NY, and MA all the VRs won't be on the NEHGS. Going on faith, though, Anna's Doty line runs: Mary J. (Brewster) Goodspeed, George Brewster, Nathaniel, Jedidah (White) Brewster, Faith (Oakman) White, Elizabeth (Doty) Oakman, Edward Doty, Edward Doty of the Mayflower. Images & some info from Weston Arthur Goodspeed, History of the Goodspeed Family Profusely Illustrated, Being a Genealogical and Narrative Record Extending from 1380 to 1906, and Embracing Material Concerning the Family Collected during Eighteen Years of Research, together with Maps, Plats, Charts, Etc., Vol. 1 (Chicago: WA Goodspeed, 1907), pp 161, 260, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Public Library and Jones, The Brewster Genealogy, 1566-1907, Vol. 1 (NY: Grafton Press, 1908), pp. 85, 139, 266, 594-5 scanned at the Library of Congress.

GOODSPEED, ARTHUR ROGER
Brother of Anna (above) and Selah Betts Goodspeed (below), Arthur (b. 1866) was also a 11 Doty and Gen. 10 White & Brewster descendant. Like Selah, the author had no information on him beyond 1900, when he was unmarried, thus he may have left no descendants. Anna's children had the surname "Ingraham" so there may be no Goodspeeds from this point on in this family tree. See Anna's write-ups for the 3 lineages.

GOODSPEED, JOHN BREWSTER
Brother of Selah, below, and Arthur & Anna, above, John (b. 1877) was also a Gen. 11 Doty and Gen. 10 Brewster & White descendant. The author of the book with this image had no info on John later than 1900. He had not yet married so I do not know if he had any descendants, where he lived, or when he died.

GOODSPEED, SELAH BETTS
Brother of Anna Goodspeed, above, Selah (1859-1900) would also be a Gen. 11 Doty and a Gen 10 Brewster & White descendant. He left no descendants, according to the Goodspeed genealogy from which this image was taken. See Anna's write-ups for the lineage.

GOUDY, LEWIS ALDEN
The book with this image specifies that his mother was a Soule but makes no explanation for the middle name other than saying his father was Alden Goudy. Lewis A. Goudy, as he wrote it, is said to have been born in 1849, in Woolwich, ME, and became quite an accomplished businessman, including running a "confectionary" business llater sold to Nabisco. He was early in the telephone business, too. The Soule pink books reveal two Gen 9 Doty links. One runs: Augusta P. (Soule) Goudy, David Farnham Soule, Samuel Soule, John Soule, Hannah (Delano) Soule, Hannah Doty/Doten (Delano), Thomas Doty, Edward of the Mayflower. The other is: Augusta P. (Soule) Goudy, David Farnham Soule, Samuel Soule, Patience (Wormall) Soule, Samuel Wormall, Patience (Sherman) Wormall, Desire (Doty) (Sherman) (Holme) Standish, Edward Doty. NOTE: The Wormall clan was left out of the index in the Doty silver book, Part 1. Samuel is on pp. 21 & 56; which will get you started. (I found over a dozen missing index references.) See the Soule and Alden-Mullins sections for those lineages and more info. Be on the lookout for a Warren link, too, as his paternal grandmother was Rebecca Church. Image and info from Little, Burrage, Stubbs, Genealogical and Family History of the State of Maine, Vol. II (NY: Lewish Historical Pub. Co., 1909), pp. 566-8, digitized by Columbia University.

HALL, ALMEDA
Much of the biography in the volume with this picture is a lamentation about a life cut short, with the blame placed on the cares of motherhood and a husband off at war, but the medical culprit was then-rampant tuberculosis. Almeda did leave a son Albert and daughter Margaret when she died in 1865, 2 of the 3 children she had with George Winslow Cobb of the 61st MA Vols. (He was the son of Rev. Sylvanus Cobb, they married in 1856, and it would be reasonable to look for Mayflower descendants on his side.) The bio did state that Almeda was born in Marshfield, MA in 1834 and a Standish, White, and Brewster through her mother. I found no Brewster and the authors missed the 2 Doty, 2 Warren, and Alden-Mullins & Samson lines and that the descent was through both parents, Sarah Kent and William Hall. Here is Almeda's 1st Gen 8 Doty line: Sarah (Kent) Hall, William Kent, Lusanna (Ford) Kent, Alice (Warren) Ford, Sarah (Doty) Warren, Edward Doty, Edward of the Mayflower. The 2nd is William Hall, Luke, Adam, Sarah (Sherman) Hall, William Sherman, Desire (Doty) Sherman, Edward Doty again. Note: the Doty silver book (1996) claims that Luke died unmarried but the woman on his gravestone and in his probate record, Anna Tuells, would argue otherwise. Also William Hall's death record gives his parents as Luke and Anna, the 1810 census shows 3 males 10-16, and the probate record for Capt. Luke (d NY intestate, leaving his ship and cargo) includes the signature of another Luke, possible a second of 3 sons, all considered not to need a guardian in 1815 (maybe since they were old enough not to need one and would gain nothing from the sale of their insolvent father's land and property.) Also, William Hall moved to Boston. See the other sections for Almeda's other lines. Image & info from Mary Elvira Elliot, et al., comp., Representative Women of New England (Boston: New England Historical Publishing, 1904), 140-1, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

HARRINGTON, MAYDELL GERTRUDE
Maydell's mother's maiden name was Eaton and they lived in Bristol Co, so it was worth searching for a Mayflower ancestor in spite of her less-likely surname: "Harrington." Two years after graduation from Taunton High School (1917) Maydell married Leroy Parker Rogers, son of Tappan Rogers & Susan Parker, but those appear to be the Rogerses of Essex Co, MA, not descendants of Mayflower passenger Thomas Rogers. Thanks to Maydell's mother, though, her Rogers children, if any, would be Doty, Eaton, Priest, and Alden-Mullins descendants, with possibly more Mayflower ancestry as well. (See the other writeups for those lines.) The Doty silver book gets the farthest of any, as it includes the marriage in 1795 of great-great grandparents Apollos Eaton of Middleboro, MA and Parnel Leach of Bridgewater. Maydell's Gen 10 Doty line runs: Addie J. (Eaton) Harrington, Otis Eaton, Charles, Apollos, Lucy (Leonard) Eaton, Abigail (Morse) Leonard, Elizabeth (Doty) Morse, John Doty, Edward of the Mayflower. Image from the Journal (Taunton High School: 1917), p. 20, on Internet Archive.

Hayford, Otis Jr.
BEST GUESSTIMATE: This is the author of a history of the Hayford family, whose origins were in New England, and in his book he claims descent from Dr. Samuel Fuller, William Brewster, Francis Eaton, and Henry Samson via his paternal grandmother, Abigail (Fuller) Hayford, Mrs. Gustavus Hayford. Gustavus, in turn, was the son of William Hayward, whose wife Betty Bonney was allegedly granddaughter of an Elizabeth (Howland) Bonney and and daughter of an Ichabod Bonney, Jr., descendant of Dorcas Samson, daughter of pilgrim Henry. It should not be that hard to prove anyone named "Gustavus" in the 1700s, right? None of the relationships in this book worked out as outlined by the author BUT if the Abigail Fuller of Carver, b. 1774 did NOT marry the Zabdee Cobb, to whom she was engaged but Gustavus Hayford instead, then the man in the photo is a Generation 8 Edward Doty and Samuel Fuller descendant, Generation 9 Eaton, and Generation 10 Billington. There was also supposedly Hopkins and Cooke blood in his veins, but I was unable to track that down either. If anyone would like to spend their time doing so, feel free and please email me your evidence and I will change this entry. Otis, Jr.'s parents were second cousins, so if the Bonney ancestor does prove him to be a Samson and or Howland, he would be of that line of descent twice.

Howard, Daniel S.
Born in 1818, Daniel Howard carried the genes of 9 Pilgrim lines in his blood thanks mainly to his mother, Lucy Sturtevant. He can credit his father, whose parents are in the Doty silver book Part 3, for his double Generation 8 Doty genes. See brother Gorham Bradford Howard's writeup, below, for the lineage specifics. Daniel was also a Generation 8 Standish & Eaton, Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins (twice), and Generation 9 Priest, Hopkins, Cooke, & Chilton (I think). Daniel was born in Brockton, Plymouth County, where he died in 1904. Info and image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), pp. 42-43, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
Howard, Gorham Bradford
As the younger brother (b. 1827) of Daniel S. Howard, above, Gorham was also a Generation 8 Doty (twice), Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins, Generation 8 Standish & Eaton, and Generation 9 Priest, Hopkins, Cooke & Chilton (I think.) Their 1st Doty line would run: Oliver Howard, Jr., Susanna (Reynolds) Howard, Betty (Turner) Reynolds, Japhet Turner, Hannah (Hatch) Turner, Mary (Doty) Hatch, Edward Doty of the Mayflower. Their 2nd line runs: Oliver Howard, Jr., Susanna (Reynolds) Howard, Betty (Turner) Reynolds, Elizabeth (Morse) Turner, Elizabeth (Doty) Morse, John Doty, pilgrim Edward. The Cooke & Hopkins lines did not turn up until I traced the Doty line and discovered that it was a double one. Do not be confused by the marriage of Susanna Reynolds and Oliver Howard appearing in 2 Doty silver books (Parts 1 & 3) - with no reference to the other. Normally the cross-referencing is better (though not perfect) in these. Also, I have found no genealogical reason for this man's parents naming him "Gorham Bradford." if you find a Howland and/or Bradford link, please let me know.

LITCHFIELD, A. C. [ALLYNE CUSHING]
He may not have known he was a very distant cousin of fellow soldier in the 7th MI Cavalry, Lucius Carver (above), but he at least knew that he was also from Plymouth Co because he writes in the book with this photo that he personally returned Carver's remains to his home town. Col. Litchfield (b 1835) is another MA native who enlisted in MI. He was living in Grand Rapids as a lumber dealer, according to his 1858 Boston marriage record. At the time the book with these 2 photos was published he was living in PA and findagrave shows him buried there in 1911. His mother lived to be 97 and all her vital records are online as are those of her parents, whose marriage is in the Doty silver book Part 3. A.C. was said to have been born in Hingham but I found no record there and his other family records are all in Scituate. He is also a Warren descendant, so see that section for the lineage. His Gen. 8 Doty line runs: Anna (Cushing) Litchfield, Joseph Cushing, Abigail (Hatch) Cushing, Ebenezer Hatch, Ebenezer, Mary (Doty) Hatch, Edward Doty. Image and info from William O. Lee, comp., Personal and Historical Sketches and Facial History of and by Members of the Seventh Regiment Michigan Volunteer Cavalry 1862-1865 (Detroit: Ralston-Stroup, ca 1902), pp. 27-33, on the shelf at the University of Michigan. Each survivor wrote his own section and provided photos of himself in uniform and in later civilian life.

LORING, BENJAMIN WILLIAM
Born in Duxbury 1821, he went to CA and ran trains of pack mules. When the Civil War broke out he came back and somehow got assigned as acting master (captain) of a ship. The author of this book skipped the bit about Benjamin knowing how to steer anything but a mule. Presumably that all worked out. He captained ironclads, was a POW, and later worked at the Navy yard in Washington, DC, before moving to Oswego, NY, per the author. Descendants are eligible for membership in the Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War (females) and in Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (males.) If you find a better image on a Civil War site, please let me know. Via a grandmother he was a Doty and Warren descendant, and via the grandfather's mother an Alden & Mullins descendant. Benjamin's Gen 8 Doty line runs: William Little Loring, Judith (Little) Loring, Lydia (Hatch) Little, Isaac Hatch, Isaac, Mary (Doty) Hatch, Edward Doty of the Mayflower. The Warren silver book, Part 2, 2nd ed., gets as far as the birth of Judith and the Doty book, Part 3, includes her marriage to William Loring. Image and info from Charles Henry Pope, assisted by Katharine Peabody Loring, Loring Genealogy (Cambridge, MA: Murray & Emery, 1917), pp. 63, 108, 278, digitized by the New York Public Library.

MERCHANT, HENRY DOTY
Yes, his middle name was my first clue. The book with this photo mentioned his mother and it was not difficult to find her online in censuses and on findagrave. Her parents are in the Doty silver book, part one, so voila! Henry would be a Gen 8 & 9 descendant due to the marriage of cousins "upstream." His Gen 9 line runs: Clara Louise (Doty) Merchant, Joseph Sheldon Doty, William, Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, Edward, Edward Doty of the Mayflower. The Gen 8 line runs: Clara Louise (Doty) Merchant, Joseph Sheldon Doty, William, Mercy (Doty) Doty, Benjamin, Edward, Edward again. If you join as his descendants you would need to prove the births, deaths, and marriage of his parents and a few things about his grandparents, then from Henry on down. It may help to know that the family was several generations in and around Rensselaer Co, NY and prior to that in CT. Henry became a lawyer so there should be a paper trail and possibly better images out there. This image & some info from Andrew Van Vranken Raymond, Union University, Its History, Influence, Characteristics, and Equipment, Vol. III (NY: Lewis, 1907), p. 209, and digitized cockeyed by the NY Public Library.

Morse, Nahum Francis
Born 1835 in Rochester, MA, Nahum was the 9th child of John Norris Morse and Lydia Look. His Generation 7 Doty lineage is courtesy of the third generation Morris, Joshua, b. 1692, who married Elizabeth Doten, Generation 3 granddaughter of Edward Doty. Her mother, Elizabeth Cooke, was granddaughter of both Francis Cooke and Stephen Hopkins. Thus Nahum was also a Generation 8 Cooke and Hopkins descendant. In between Joshua and John came Newbury Morris and Lydia Briggs, then Revolutionary War soldier Simeon Morse and Bethiah Norris. Nahum's parents are in the Doty Silver Book, part 1.

NYE, HANNAH BUTLER
Her Gen 8 Doty line comes to her thanks to her mother's mother's mother's mother. According to the book from which this image was taken she was an active genealogist herself, very involved in the Nye Family of America Association, so she probably knew all this by heart. Here is her line: Mary Ann (Gibbs) Nye, Abigail (Savery) Gibbs, Ruth (Gibbs) Savery, Deborah (Doty) Gibbs, Joseph Doty, Joseph, Edward of the Mayflower. Hannah (b. 1852) was still living when this book was published, and married to Henry A. Belcher of Randolph, so anything she wrote on her family might be under that name. Image and info from George Hyatt Nye, Frank E. Best, and David Fisher Nye, A Genealogy of the Nye Family (Cleveland: Nye Family of America Association, 1907), p. 410, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

PALMER, JEDUTHAN
First, let me apologize for the quality of this image. It's a digitization of a reprint of a daguerrotype probably made in the 1850s. A scan of a print version of this book would be appreciated if you find it anywhere. Jeduthan (1786-1860) was a Gen. 7 Doty and Samson through his mother, and the first clue is that her name was "Desire." Any time you have a female with that name, head for a Doty Silver Book because it seems each generation named one of the girls in honor of the three-times-married daughter of Pilgrim Edward Doty, mother of eleven. One of her husbands was a Standish, so you might find a twofer there. One warning, though: be careful with her Holmes descendants. That line was revised in 2012 by NEHGR 166: 85-97, after the publication of the current Doty books. Jeduthan is in the Samson Silver Book, vol. 2 and his grandparents are in Doty vol. 2. His Doty line runs: Desire (Oldham) Palmer, Thomas Oldham, Desire (Wormall) Oldham, Patience (Sherman) Wormall, Desire (Doty) (Sherman) (Holmes) Standish, Edward Doty of the Mayflower. See the Samson section for that line. Image and info from L. Vernon Briggs, History of Shipbuilding on North River, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, with Genealogies of the Shipbuilders, and Accounts of the Industries Upon its Tributaries, 1640 to 1872 (Boston: Coburn, 1889), p. 72, digitized by the Library of Congress.

PHILLIPS, A. S.
Father of Miss L. Phillips, below, he was an attorney and author of a 3-volume history of Fall River, MA. The series was privately printed in 1944 but he kindly granted permission just after the title & publication info for readers to abstract and quote from the book "with proper acknowledgement." Thank you, Mr. Phillips and thank you, SAILS Library Network of southeastern MA for digitizing these volumes held by the Keeley Library of Durfee High School there. This link takes you to the Keely collection of full-text books and articles but if you look around their site you will find much more to peruse, including school yearbooks from the 1800s. In addition to being a Gen 8 Doty and a Warren and Soule descendant, Mr. Phillips (1865-1941) was on the Lizzie Borden defense team and left his collection related to that case to the Fall River Historical Society. Some of it is online there. The image on the left and Phillips's brief autobiography is from A. S. Phillips, The Phillips History of Fall River, Fascicle I (Fall River: Dover Press, 1944), frontispiece & xi-xii. See his daughter's writeup for the specific lineage.

Thank you, Mr. Phillips and thank you, SAILS Library Network of southeastern MA for digitizing these volumes held by the Keeley Library of Durfee High School there. This link takes you to the Keely collection of full-text books and articles but if you look around their site you will find much more to peruse, including school yearbooks from the 1800s. In addition to being a Gen 8 Doty and a Warren and Soule descendant, Mr. Phillips (1865-1941) was on the Lizzie Borden defense team and left his collection related to that case to the Fall River Historical Society. Some of it is online there. The image on the left and Phillips's brief autobiography is from A. S. Phillips, The Phillips History of Fall River, Fascicle I (Fall River: Dover Press, 1944), frontispiece & xi-xii. See his daughter's writeup for the specific lineage.
PHILLIPS, L.
This picture comes from her 1912 high school yearbook but the only biographical information was her birthplace, Fall River, MA. In the late 1800s births seem to have been surprisingly underreported because very few of the students I searched for had them. Online vital records for that area go to about 1920, so your options include looking ahead a few years to see who married and stayed in town and who lived there for the 1900 and 1910 census. Although she may have other lines vital records and silver books show that Miss Phillips is a Gen 9 Doty and a Soule & Warren descendant on her father's side, via his first wife, as follows: Arthur S. Phillips, Mark Phillips, Wadsworth Phillips, Celia (Chamberlain) Phillips, Rachel (Bonney) Chamberlain, Elizabeth (Hatch) Bonney, Mary (Doty) Hatch, Edward Doty of the Mayflower. It helped that her great grandfather was named "Wadsworth Phillips." He turned out to have left a good paper trail and be the Gen 6 descendant, thus his parents (and he) were digitized on the NEHGS site as part of their joint effort with the Mayflower Society to help people find their pilgrim ancestors. (See the Soule section for that writeup.)

RUSSELL, GEORGE T., JR.
Brother of Henry Thomas Russell, below, George T., Jr. (b. 1840) was a Gen. 8 Doty descendant, as claimed in the book from which this photo was taken. Volume 3 of the Doty Silver Book gets as far as the birth of Thomas Doty and his marriage to Asenath/Ascenath Bassett, and the NEHGS databases list that marriage, that of Thomas Doty Jr. to Bathsheba Blankenship, then Ruby B. Doty, George T. Jr.'s mother, to George T. Sr. on the same page of Rochester VRs. The births of Thomas Jr. and and Ruby do not appear but the Silver Book notes that Thomas and Asenath moved to Vermont, thus the birth may have taken place there. George T. Russell, Jr.'s Doty line runs as follows: Ruby/Rubey B. (Doty) Russell, Thomas Doty, Jr., Thomas, John, Edward, Ellis, Joseph, Edward Doty of the Mayflower. Image on the left and info from Image and some info from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), pp. 339-40, digitized by the Library of Congress.

RUSSELL, HENRY THOMAS
Younger brother of George T. Russell, Jr., above, Henry (b. 1855) was also a Gen. 8 Doty descendant. See George's entry for details and the Doty lineage.

SHERMAN, HENRY
Quite coincidentally, I have found a photo of the father of the man below, Nelson Sherman. The book with the image of Henry has random pictures in it that bear no relation to the text but fortunately there was only the one Henry Sherman in Carver and his parents are in the Doty silver book Part 1 plus his vital records are online at the NEHGS. Henry's Gen. 7 Doty line runs as follows: Lydia (Doty/Doten) Sherman/Shearman, Ebenezer Doty, John, John, John, Edward Doty of the Mayflower. This is a rare image from about 1850 of someone smiling. (Henry was b. 1806.) See his Cooke & Hopkins write-ups for those lines. Image from Henry S. Griffith, History of the Town of Carver, Massachusetts: Historical Review 1637 to 1910 (New Bedford: Anthony, 1913), p. 112, digitized by the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Since this web site is about family resemblance, ask yourself whether their brown eyes were from the Dotys or the Shermans.

Sherman, Nelson
A Generation 8 Doty born 1841 in North Carver, MA, Nelson was son of Henry Sherman (above) and grandson of Lydia (Doten) Sherman, born 1768, daughter of Ebenezer Doten. Her birth in Generation 6 is noted in the Doty Silver Book, part 1. (See his father Henry's writeup for the lineage.) Nelson was also a Generation 9 Cooke and Hopkins due to the marriage of Generation 2 John Doty to Elizabeth Cooke, a Cooke and Hopkins granddaughter. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 469, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
Snow, Barnabas
Deacon Barnabas Snow (Generation 7 Doty) was the grandson of Content Doty and Deacon Prence Snow, married in Rochester in 1770. Content was a Generation 5 Edward Doty descendant via her father Barnabus Snow, then Ellis, Joseph, and pilgrim Edward. Barnabas's father, Deacon Thomas Snow, is in the Doty Silver Book. Grandfather Prence Snow was a Generation 7 Brewster and Hopkins descendant and is in the Hopkins Silver Book and Patience Brewster Pink Book as the grandson of Thankfull Freeman and Jonathan Snow. Image from Lucy Cutler Kellogg, History of the Town of Bernardston, Franklin County, Massachusetts 1736-1900 (Greenfield, MA: E. A. Hall, 1902), p. 507, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.
SOULE, GILBERT
Capt. Gilbert Soule of ME & NH was a Generation 8 Soule descendant. (See his Soule section description for line of descent.) Via three female ancestors he was also a Generation 8 Doty (twice) and a Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins. The Soule Pink Books get as far as Gilbert's father, #425iii Capt. David Farnham Soule of ME in Generation 7, and both his wives, and tallies with the data in the book from which this image was taken. (You would still have get vital records that prove that Gilbert was their son.) The Doty book gets as far as his great-grandmother, Patience (Wormall) Soule and great-great grandmother Hannah (Delano) Soule. The Doty and Alden books mention the birth of the latter's son John Soule. Image and info from Georgia Drew Merrill, History of Coös County, NH (Syracuse: Ferguson, 1888), pp. 559-61. Digitized by the University of New Hampshire Library. There is a description of his appearance in this book, saying that he was 5'11" and his "average weight [was] about 230 pounds." His eye color was "light blue" and his hair "dark brown."

STANDISH, CLARA MAY
Vital, census, and/or probate records for Clara, her parents, grandparents, and beyond are online at americanancestors.org (the New England Historic Genealogical Society, or NEHGS.) The birth of her grandfather Thomas Dennis Standish, below, is in two Mayflower Society silver books the NEHGS also digitized as a joint project: Doty & Standish. Clara was born in Dighton, Bristol Co, MA in 1882 and by 1899 was class valedictorian at Taunton High School, at a time when it was an accomplishment to complete 8th grade. Her Gen 8 Doty line, beginning with her father, is: James C. Standish, Thomas Dennis, David, David, Thomas, Desire (Doty) (Sherman) (Holmes) Standish, Edward Doty of the Mayflower. See her Rogers, Standish, and Soule write-ups for more information. Image from Taunton High School Record (Taunton: 1899), p. 11, digitized by Internet Archive.

STANDISH, THOMAS DENNIS
The original info posted here on shipwright Thomas in Jan. 2014 was stated to be suspect because the author (Hurd) inserted a nonexistent Standish and admitted to guessing at the middle bits. Consequently Thomas was linked to the wrong father David, missing his middle name and his mother, a Rogers descendant. In the course of creating a writeup for his granddaughter Clara May Standish (above) in Aug. 2019, I was able to correct this. Thomas's Gen 6 birth is in the Doty & Standish silver books, and the Doty line runs: David Standish, David, Thomas, Desire (Doty) (Sherman) (Holmes) Standish, Edward Doty of the Mayflower. (This is not an Alden-Mullins line because it is not a product of Gen 2 Alexander Standish's other marriage, to Sarah Alden.) Image & bad info (so ignore it), from D. Hamilton Hurd, History of Bristol County (Philadelphia: Lewis, 1883), p. 266, digitized by the Library of Congress. Correct info on Thomas from the Standish & Doty silver books, and from his vital records, which are are all online on americanancestors.org (aka the NEHGS). See his Standish, Soule, and Rogers write-ups in those sections.

STODDARD, COLBY
His father's name was Charles Bartlett Stoddard, which should give you a clue, and signals that the family "knew who they were." They don't all; it pays to dig around a bit because sometimes after 250 years or so have passed people forget their less-well-known pilgrim ancestor or remember the wrong pilgrim, or sometimes invent a pilgrim and claim a relationship. In the case of Colby (b 1877), he forgot a Doty, a Cooke, a Brewster, and an Alden-Mullins. Colby's Gen 9 Doty line runs: Charles Bartlett Stoddard, Betsy (Bartlett) Stoddard, Daniel Bartlett, Thomas, Sarah (Morton) Bartlett, Martha (Doty) Morton, Edward Doty, Edward of the Mayflower. I'm missing the link between Thomas and Daniel, father of Betsy), but it was in there that the family moved to Vermont and the trail picks up again. Image & info from William H. Jeffrey, Successful Vermonters: A Modern Gazetteer of Caledonia, Essex, and Orleans Counties (East Burke, VT: Historical Publishing, 1904), pp. 157-8, digitized by the Allen County (IN) Public Library.

TABER, EDWARD SMITH
This New Bedford, MA native (ca 1826-1899) is a Generation 8 Doty descendant and a Generation 9 Cooke. That means you should get one more generation out of the Doty Silver Books than you do from the Cooke Silver Book, but the Dotys are spread out over 3 volumes, so try Cooke first. Edward's Cooke line is Francis-Mary-Mary Tomson-Joseph Taber-Benjamin-Benjamin-Francis-Joseph-Edward. The first Benjamin is the final entry for that line in Cooke, but his wife Susana Lewis, noted as daughter of John Lewis & Elizabeth Doty, is Gen 4, so you will find the first Benjamin's wives (Edward is from the second wife, Eunice (Worth) Gardner's line), and their son Francis Taber, who married Lydia Russell in Doty. Edward is Francis & Lydia's grandchild. Since he was known to still be in New Bedford, I knew it would be possible to find him on the NEHGS site.

Taber, Isaac C.
Mayor of New Bedford when he died in 1862, Isaac C. Taber was son of Barnabas Taber & Mary Congdon. He was a Generation 7 Doty descendant via his great-grandmother, Susanna Lewis of Rochester, daughter of John Lewis & Elizabeth Doty. This lineage is traced to Barnabas in the Doty Silver Book, volume 3. A grandson of Benjamin Taber, Jr, a Generation 6 Cooke descendant noted in the Cooke Silver book and 2nd wife, widow Eunice (Worth) Gardiner, he was also a Generation 8 Cooke descendant. If the two men are 2nd cousins, the Henry Morehouse Taber in the Cooke section of this web site would also be a Generation 7 Doty descendant. Info on Henry's great-grandfather Joseph Taber would be appreciated. As Isaac, born in 1815, died at only 47 in 1862 this photo was likely taken shortly before his death, during his tenure as mayor (1860-62.) A better quality image would also be appreciated. Photo from Thomas W. Cook, et al., New Bedford Massachusetts, Its History, Industries, Institutions, and Attractions (New Bedford: Mercury, 1889), n.p., digitized by the Library of Congress.
TINKHAM, GEORGE W.
This slightly tinted photo, from Digital Commonwealth courtesy the New Bedford Free Public Library, included the W. and the date the photo was taken: Sept. 25, 1863. However, this Tinkham came from the branch that kept poor records. He also had a cousin born about a year earlier, also named George & from Middleborough, both still living for the 1865 state census, but I chose the George who consistently used "W." for a middle initial during his own lifetime. If I have the wrong George, the Peter Browne lineage stands, with the father being Horatio, not Benjamin Franklin Tinkham, but with a different mother he would not be a Doty or White. So assuming I have the correct George, the proposed Gen 9 Doty line runs: Hannah B. (White) Tinkham, Marchant White, Marchant, Thomas, John, Martha (Doty) White, Thomas Doty, Edward Doty of the Mayflower. He would be about 17 in this picture. See the Brown/Browne and White sections for two other Pilgrim lines. (He may have more, whether or not he is the correct Cousin George.)

WARREN, WINSLOW
Lawyer Winslow Warren (b 1838, Plymouth) had 9 multiple Mayflower lines via both parents: Doty (twice), Brewster, Alden-Mullins, Howland-Tilley, Warren (6 times), White, and Winslow (twice). (See the other sections for those lines.) His first Gen 8 Doty line runs: Winslow Warren, Henry, James, James, Sarah (Doty) Warren, Edward Doty, Edward of the Mayflower. The second ran: Winslow Warren, Henry, Mercy (Otis) Warren, Mary (Allyn) Otis, Mary (Doty) Allyn, Edward Doty, Edward of the Mayflower. A combination of the relevant silver books will get you to this Winslow Warren's grandparents, then vital records on the NEHGS get you the rest of the way.

WELLMAN, SAMUEL THOMAS
Samuel is a Doty descendant but the authors of the Doty silver books, Part 1, 2nd ed., are only partly sure that his great grandmother was the daughter of Elisha Doten of Plymouth because Elisha died young, the mother remarried at least once and had many more children, and the other Jerusha Doten of the same age is known to be someone else's daughter. They stayed in the area but no probate records were found for Elisha or his wife. If Jerusha (Doten) Bearse's parents do turn out to be Elisha and Mercy (Harlow) (Doten) Robbins, she is also a Warren and a Bradford via Mercy and a Cooke and Hopkins via Elisha. Samuel was born in Wareham in 1847 but lived in VT and NH, and his Civil War pension record will show him in the NH Heavy Artillery. (Note: if anyone has a Civil War pension record, always send for it. I can't say it often enough, but they are goldmines and have all kinds of things you would never expect in them as well as the parent-child data you are looking for.) Samuel was an accomplished engineer in the iron industry, according to the author of this book and he probably did not lie as Samuel was still alive to read it. There may be data on him in Cleveland, where he spent much of his adult life (though he also lived in PA and other places). He belonged to numerous engineering professional associations which may have data if you are looking for something. He had five children, two daughters were married as of the publication of this book so look for descendants with the surnames Comstock and Hatfield. Samuel's Gen 9 Doty line should run: Mary Love (Besse) Wellman, Betsy (Bearse) Besse), Jerusha (Doten) Bearse, Elisha Doten, Edward, Elisha, John, Edward of the Mayflower. Image and info from Joshua Wyman Wellman, Descendants of Thomas Wellman of Lynn, Massachusetts (Boston: Arthur Holbrook Wellman, 1918), 337, 455-7, digitized by Boston Public Libraries.

WHITE, ANSEL
According to the author of the book from which this image was taken, Ansel's grandfather William (1721-1817) had his full lineage inscribed on his tombstone. That stone, though not legible, is on findagrave and someone wrote that William's wife was Mercy Sears (1724-1808). The writer also says that William's mother was Mercy Jenkins (b. 1695 Barnstable.) That was helpful because I couldn't find much on Ansel or his parents or grandparents. The White Silver Book does get as far as the younger John White in Ansel's proposed line and states that he lived in Rochester (where grandfather William lived), but gives no spouse. However, it notes that the older John married Martha Doty (b. 1672). The Doty Silver Book, Part 2, does show son John marrying a Mercy Jenkins and having a son William, born in Rochester 1721. Assuming the author of this town history is correct about Ansel, his father and grandfather, Ansel was a Gen. 7 Doty and Gen. 8 White. His Doty line ran as follows: William, William, John, Martha (Doty) White), Thomas Doty, Edward of the Mayflower. See Ansel's White writeup for that lineage. Image and info from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), p. 371, digitized by the Library of Congress.

Son of Ansel, above, Ansel Clark White (b. Acushnet, 1829) was a Gen. 8 Doty and Gen. 9 White but also a Cooke and Warren thanks to his mother, Hannah Hathaway. Wish I had her photo. See Ansel's writeup for more detail and see Ansel Clark's Cooke and Warren write-ups for those lines.

WHITE, AUGUSTUS
Augustus was a Gen. 8 Doty descendant via a brother of Ansel, Phineas White. As nephew of Ansel and first cousin of Ansel Clark (both above) he was also a Gen. 9 White. Augustus's Doty line would run as follows: Phineas White, William, William, John, Martha (Doty) White, Thomas Doty, Edward of the Mayflower. Phineas had apparently relocated to Livermore, ME, where Augustus was born in 1832. The author wrote, "[Phineas's] son Augustus relates that he has heard his father say that at one time he knew nearly every family in Bristol and Plymouth counties."] Yup.

WHITE, THOMAS FOSTER
This Gen 7 Doty descendant was born in 1802 to Luther White and Mary Deleno. Luther's birth is in the Doty and White silver books. Many of the lineages in the book from which this image was taken do not agree with what is in the White book (pub. 2006) but this one does. Thomas's paternal great grandmother was a Doty and his paternal grandmother a Bradford. His Doty line runs: Luther, Benjamin, Faith (Oakman) White, Elizabeth (Doty) Oakman, Edward Doty, Edward of the Mayflower. Thank you to the MD reader who scanned the paper copy of the book with this image at the Library of Congress in DC. In this updated version you can see that Thomas had blue eyes. For Thomas's White and Bradford lines, see his writeup in those sections.
