The eldest of the nine children born to Samuel Wales & Harriet (Wotton) Doggett, he lived first in South Carolina and then moved with his parents to Mendon, Massachusetts. In 1843 he left and relocated first to Charleston and then moved on to Jacksonville, Florida where, according to the "History of the Doggett-Daggett Family" he opened a seminary and also was licensed to practice the law. He then lived in New Orleans, Louisiana and, ultimately, went to Panama and across the isthmus where he boarded the sailing ship SS California for San Francisco in 1850.
According to his own account (S F Chronicle newspaper article in 1899) he declined military service in the Civil War and, according to the "History of the Doggett-Daggett Family", he married "Miss Sierra from Illapel, Chile". (His sons list the place of birth of their mother as Chili while his daughter, Delores, born some years later, lists the place of birth of her mother as England. The 1860 US census records S W Doggett and a "Pilar Doggett" with a birth place of Chili living with his first two sons. The 1870 US Census records Samuel Doggett and a "Jane Doggett" with a birth place of Mexico together in what probably was a boarding house in San Francisco. She is nine years younger. In another record from the same census Samuel W Doggett is living with his first son, Bolivar, age 15. In both of these records the occupation is "real estate agent".) In addition to the real estate business, he also practiced law in San Francisco and was a member of the Board of Education there for a short time in 1864.
He had at least the following children: Bolivar Doggett, Danton C. Doggett, Pilar Doggett (died as an infant), Sumpter E. Doggett and Gertrude Mary (Doggett) Tubbs; all of them born in Northern California. His name is recorded in a military record with a Louisa Sherman (later, married surname of Wilbur) as the parents of Philetus W. Doggett (FAGrave #3258432), a Union soldier, born in Mendon, Massachusetts in 1843 who died during the Civil War at nineteen years of age.
