Biography

This profile is part of the Doby Name Study.

John Doby lived in Virginia.

John, eldest son of John Doby, was born around 1677. This is date is just a guess, based on his parent's marriage year of 1675, also a guess.

He was married to Ann. There is no record of their marriage date but she is mentioned in his will.^[1]

In 1704 he paid tax on property in Prince George County, VA.^[2] It's unlikely that he lived there because his will references that property separate from the property that he lived on.^[1]

In 1716 John and his property in Prince George County are mentioned in a land patent.^[3]

John wrote his will on July 3, 1735. It was probated on June 15, 1737. His will bequeaths his slaves to his wife, but none are listed by name.^[1]

Slaves

• Bequeathed to his wife in his will, but none are listed by name.
