Doty-Doten family in America:
Descendants of Edward Doty,
An Emigrant by the
Mayflower, 1620
By Ethan Allen Doty (1897)

" 8. ISAAC DOTY, the fifth son and seventh child of Edward Doty and Faith Clarke, was born at Plymouth, February 8, 1648-9, the date being entered on the colony record.
At the death of his father he was but six years of age, and probably continued to live with his mother
until about the time of her marriage to John Phillips, in 1667. It is somewhat doubtful where he spent
the next five years of his life, but It is probable that it was in Sandwich, Mass., where his brother
Joseph was also, early in life, a resident. But it is possible that he may have visited in this period Oyster
Bay on Long Island where he subsequently lived. An entry on the county records at Plymouth, dated
July 5, 1672, shows that " Isaac Dotey, alias Doughty, sells to John Smith, his share of the land willed to him by his father, Edward Dotey."
At a town meeting held at Oyster Bay, January 22, 1672-3, a piece of land for a house lot was allotted to Isaac Dottie. And on February 19 following, sixteen acres were allotted to James Townsend and Isaac Dottie."

Edward Doty's fifth son, Isaac, was only six years old when his father died in 1655. After the death of his father he most likely continued to live with his mother until at least around the time she married John Phiilips in 1667, or a few years later in 1670 when he reached his majority at age 21.

In 1672 Isaac Doty sold his land in Plymouth Colony. In 1673 an Issac Doty obtained his first house lot in Oyster Bay, New York, six acres at the corner of South Street and Pine Hollow Road.

In 1676 after 55 years of peace between them, the lives of Native North Americans and the European colonists had become so intimately intertwined that when the fighting of the King Phillips War broke out it shattered colonial life in New England. But it seems the great Indian war had very little impact on the settlers of Long Island. The Indians of Long Island were already quite decimated by this point in time. The Long Island colonists had turmoil of their own making, especially in Oyster Bay, primarily regarding rule of law and land.

In 1902, Historian Peter Ross explains, "It would seem that at first the land in Oyster Bay was to be held in common, except for the holders of the original six-acre home lots." Understandably that rule was soon disposed. Probably because it was so obviously counter to . I suppose it was discovered to be contrary to the need for growth within the community. But it seems that no clear order was established for years.

So burdensome did all this become that a meeting was held in 1677, "when there was confirmed, by name, every freeholder which hath a free vote for giving and granting of common rights, and not otherwise; and that from henceforward no grant of township or common rights shall be confirmed; or held legal grants, without every freeholder hath legal warning that such a meeting is to be appointed, or that there are lands to be given out; and, after legal warning given them by the officer appointed, it shall be held legal, to all intents and purposes, all gifts or grants by common rights to either man or men, given by the majority of freeholders that doth appear at the time and place appointed. And it is further agreed that for every town right that any freeholder doth possess he shall have so many votes in the giving and granting land and common right, and not otherwise to be understood, but to grant and divide, as they shall see cause.

"The freeholders named were: Henry Townsend, Joseph Dickinson, Edmund Wright, Anthony Wright, Joseph Ludlum, Samuel Weeks, Nicholas Simpkins, John Jones, Francis Weeks, William Frost, John Rogers, John Dickinson, William Buckler, Nicholas Wright, Job Wright, Elizabeth Townsend, John Townsend, Josiah Latting, Nathaniel Coles, Richard Harcott, Adam Wright, Latamore Sampson Simon Cooper, Daniel Coles, John Wright, John Townsend, Caleb Wright, Issac Doutty, James Townsend, John Weeks, Samuel Andrews, Matthias Harvey Fyde, Samuel Furman, Alice Crabb, Henry Townsend jr., Gideon Wright, Richard Crabb, George Dennis, Thomas Townsend, Joseph Weeks, John Weeks, of Warwick, Thomas Weeks, Moses Furman, James Weeks."

The above quoted paragraphs taken from the Internet transcription of: The History of Long Island, from Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Time, Peter Ross, Lewis Publishing Company, New York, New York, 1902.

Isaac Doty clearly had "exceptionally strong character. He possessed, in a marked degree, that element of industry and thrift which characterized, to greater or less extent, every one of the children of Edward Doty. With an energy that was commendable, he pushed out to a new territory, constantly extended his lines, and lived to a prosperous settlement and each one of his sons provided with a farm well cleared and tilled, which his foresight, and which his fatherly affection had secured.

Isaac lived to a relatively old age of 79 years or more.
