His brother, Silas, was my distant grandfather. Isaac moved to Vermont from Plymouth, MA. Silas and family moved to Maine. If my research is correct, you are also related to about nine Mayflower passengers. Edward Doty, Francis Cooke, Stephen Hopkins, John Alden, Priscilla Mullins (and her parents), and there are a few others, I can’t think of at the moment. I have done quite a bit of research on the family, if you have other questions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621576375389052301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211578983663662204.post-66791940992108569972019-06-17T19:34:33.480-07:002019-06-17T19:34:33.480-07:00That was a duplicate comment and only removed for ...That was a duplicate comment and only removed for that reason.

I am currently researching all the sisters and the one son, and looking for more vital records, probate records etc. Should be fun and I’ve already located a few things. I'll keep you posted.

Have you found deeds yet for Isaac Doten or for Hart from Doten? Are there Vermont birth records for Olive that name her parents?<br /><br />The marriage record and the probate record are two pieces of evidence that supports the hypothesis that Isaac and Sally Doten are her parents. <br /><br />FWIW, I would consider those two records do prove the relationship, but the more you have the better the proof is.<br /><br />Missed you today at SDGS.<br /><br />Cheers -- RandyRandy Seaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477703429102065294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211578983663662204.post-40914499705866872452019-06-08T21:34:05.018-07:002019-06-08T21:34:05.018-07:00Thanks Randy.

And, yes, it’s very difficult when all we have is a transcribed record or index. We need our own eyes to be able to determine what a record really says. But, every find like this gives us hope for the next one.
