FORWARD

[My note. The following is the forward from myfathers original work. The page references are to his first book.They are no longer valid for this book. I have copied the parts ofthis forward that have page references and corrected them afterthis forward.]

It is with a great deal of pleasure that I presentthis genealogical dissertation on the different families mentionedherein.

This book is a history of the Doty family from theirarrival in America to the present. It also contains information onseveral related families. No attempt has been made to record allthe facts nor to include all branches of these families. The objecthas been to present, in a concise form, information to which manywill wish to refer while reminiscent about their ancestors.

The facts contained in this history are documentedand can be verified, with few exceptions. In the few instanceswhere conclusions have been drawn, it is so stated and the factswhich are believed to justify these conclusions are indicated.NOTHING BASED SOLELY ON RUMOR OR HEARSAY HAS BEEN KNOWINGLYINCLUDED.

In compiling and writing this history, I had onethought in mind, and that was to induce readers to go to therecords and read for themselves the facts firsthand. If you dothis, or accept this as it is written, then I can say - that thesefamilies survived in Colonial America without those institutions offamilies in the Old World; such as, a church, a military, royalty,an aristocracy, a castle - without even a history or atradition.

They were or soon became revolutionaries - and toprovide themselves with history and traditions with miraculousspeed these families, like our nation, created heroes, villains,legends, myths, symbols, mottoes, in short, a usable past.

I started my research on these families in July 1954and have continued it to the present. I became interested ingenealogy during the summer of 1934 when my Grandmother, Mary E.Doty, gave me a copy of the Doty Family history to read. It waswritten by John W. Dowty of Eagle Creek, Oregon.

I spent years reading the Wills, Probate Courtrecords, Estate Settlements, Affidavits, Circuit Court records,Marriage records, Land grants, U. S. and State Census reports, etc.of the counties herein mentioned of the States of Illinois,Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee,Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, New Jersey,North and South Carolina and Georgia. I remember the County Judgesentertaining my son, John B., while I searched for specificinformation in Mansfield and Wooster, Ohio. Neither can I forgetthe cooperation that I received from the Monsignor at St. Patrick'sCatholic Church, Cumberland, Maryland as well as other Catholicchurches in Ohio, Illinois and Kansas.

We owe a debt of gratitude to the following peoplefor their help. To Emma Douglas of Eagle Creek, Oregon, daughter ofJohn W. Dowty. My son and I visited her in Feb. 1959; Fred Doty andhis daughter, Helen Harding of Wooster, Ohio whom my son and I alsovisited several times between 1955 and Fred's death. He took us tothe old Doty farms, cemeteries, etc.; Maurice Doty of Ruggles,Ohio. Maurice, my son and I visited several old places and familiesrelated to the Dotys; to the people listed on page 152; to John W.and Anna J. Doty, my parents; Viola (Babe) Logue and CharleyEarnest of Caldwell and Danville, Kansas; to the Cavaneedescendants in Kansas, Missouri and Ohio; and last but not least tomy wife, Alice. She not only put up with my absence and expense butassisted me in this project.

I wish to acknowledge the assistance rendered to meby innumerable organizations and individuals who contributed theirtime, their efforts, and their understanding to make thiscompilation possible. That others who cannot be named individuallymay know the gratitude I extend to them, I wish to acknowledgespecifically the assistance rendered by the personnel of: DenverPublic Library; The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints(Mormon); Library of Congress; National Archives; Hall of Records,Annapolis, Maryland; The different Court Houses, Churches andHistorical Libraries in the States aforementioned.
