Samuel was born in 1700. He is the son of Samuel Doty and Elizabeth Hull. He passed away in 1777.
According to tradition he lived "between the mountains, near Brownstown, N. J." Brownstown was a small village about a mile or so north of Plainfield, Union Co., N. J. Its bounds may have extended up to the valley called Washington Valley. Very little further is known of him. He was a farmer, and died in 1777. He left no will; but letters of administration were granted to his son Benjamin, January 22, 1778. The manuscript of Miss Susan Doughty mentions his children.[1]
Benjamin, Samuel's son, administered his father's estate which was approved Jan 22, 1779. Benjamin died May 1780.
