Biography

According to Robert Charles Anderson, some sources^[1][2] show Dorothy as a daughter of Simon Willard. No primary evidence has been found for her birth. Anderson says that, if she existed, she would have been born in England and died there prior to Simon Willard's emigration.^[3]

She and a sister Elizabeth, who also died young, were named in a list left by the Rev. Dr. Willard an earlier descendant of Simon and included in the Willard Memorial.^[4]
