DOGGETT AKA DAGGETT
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Doggett-55
Some family trees and even the family historian of the Daggetts (alternative spelling) thinks John may have been the third son, baptized Nov. 4, 1602, of [[William "the Younger" Doggett William "the Younger" Doggett] William Doggett] and his wife, [[Avis Doggett Avis Doggett] Avis (Lappadge) Lappage], of Boxford, Suffolk.[1]
One of his daughters married a son of SAMUEL EDDY {1630, Plymouth}, whose brother JOHN EDDY {1630, Watertown} had married a daughter of John Daggett of Groton, Suffolk. All of these circumstances would lead one to believe that immigrant John Doggett was a member of this same Doggett family, but no connection has yet been found.
Modern, authoritative works do not support these origins. See especially:
- Robert Charles Anderson's article about the immigrant in The Great Migration Begins, vol. 1;
- Gordon L. Remington, "Alice Brotherton, wife of John Doggett of Martha's Vineyard," The American Genealogist 72 (1997):89-100
- R. Andrew Pierce, "Joseph Daggett of Martha's Vineyard, His Native American Wife, and Their Descendants." in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register 161 (2007):5-21.
- Anderson's Winthrop Fleet, page ??
- In addition, the names "William" and "Avis" do not appear in the immediate descendants for three generations-- which would have been expected if these had been his parents.
