Biography

"Samuel Doty graduated from Yale College in 1733. He recieved by deed of gift from his father in 1738 a farm at Deep River, where he subsequently lived. The house built is still standing and in good condition, and was partly occupied in 1880 by his great granddaughter, Miss Ann Lord. Miss Lord still had in her posession a string of gold beads that belonged to Mrs. Margeria Parker Doty, and had shortly before parted with a fine portrait in oil of her, it now being possessed by Mrs. Julia N.D. Harvey, of Saybrook, Ct. and being almost a duplicate of that owned by her brother, Rev. William D'Orville Doty, of Rochester, N.Y. By the records of the First Church at Saybrook, it appears that 'Margeria, widow of Mr. Samuel Doty, was admitted to the communion Nov. 27, 1774.'

Administration of the estate of the widow Margery Doty, late of Saybrook, was granted to Samuel Doty (her son) of Saybrook, and his inventory of her estate was approved June 6, 1785. The estate included seven acres of land, silver plate, etc. and was valued at 34£. Deep River was part of Saybrook. The administrator, Samuel Doty, sold above land in 1786." ^[1]
