Simeon Fobes (some records list him as S. Forbes) Doggett, a Jacksonville native, was schooled in Jacksonville and in Illinois, and completed his education in Geneva, N.Y. He began his study of law under the Hon. Philip Fraser and, in 1861, became a member of the Duval County Bar, was admitted to the State Supreme Court, and was prepared for admission to the United States Court when Florida seceded. He became a member of the Confederate States Court, successor of the United States Court. He was a member of the Jacksonville Light Infantry which served as Company A., 3rd Florida Infantry during the civil war and, during the war, was acting lieutenant of the 8th Florida Regiment, and was stationed in Virginia. After the war ended, S Forbes Doggett was justice of the peace, county solicitor and a criminal court prosecutor. His law office was located on E. Forsyth Street in Jacksonville in what was then the oldest house in Duval County.

Note on the Confederate Soldier Marker: It is unlikely that Simeon F. Doggett is buried here as his name does not appear on the family obelisk. This marker is a contemporary addition to the plot installed without the permission of the Doggett family apparently by someone affiliated with the Sons of Confederate Veterans, Kirby-Smith Camp #1209. The family has elected not to remove it.
