Marriages: John Doggett married first, probably in the early 1620's. The exact date, location, and to whom he was married are unknown, but Banks suggests "that the Hepzibah Doggett who signs as witness 3 MAR 1660 to the sale of the farm from Wampamag to John Doggett was his then wife. That it could not in all probability, be the daughter Hepzibah2, is based on her age at that date, seventeen years, and on further reason that Hepzibah Doggett was then the wife of John Eddy and would not have signed as Hepzibah Doggett. The daughter was undoubtedly named for her mother, and grandchildren bore this name for John's first wife rather than in honor of the aunt." He further sugests that "a guess may be hazarded that her maiden name was "Brotherton". This appears as a baptismal name in the Thomas Doggett branch as early as 1686, and is used in the Joseph Doggett branch after the intermarriage with Thomas Martin in 1715. Brotherton Martin continued as a family name in Nova Scotia, wither this branch emigrated, until recent years." Of this HEPSIBAH BROTHERTON, George H. & Sydney B. Daggett, in their supplement to Doggett state that she was born in 1604, probably in Suffolk, England. Anderson, in the Addenda et Corrigenda of his The Great Migration Begins, relates the marriage of a John Doggett on 29 AUG 1622 to ALICE BROTHERTON at Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire, England & further relates the baptism of John Doggett on 5 SEP 1624, Woburn, Bedfordshire, England, son of John Doggett & Alice Brotherton. Both of these facts were submitted to him by Gordon L. Remington. Another possibility for the name of John Doggett's first wife is presented by Dorothy C. & Gerald E. Knoff in their Thirty-One English Emigrants Who Came To New England by 1662 on page 80 which they "think has more validity than Hepzibah or Brotherton. In the first book of the Parish Register of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin at Bures, Suffolk, England, a village a few miles from Boxford," was found the following record: "1623 John Doggat & Elizabeth Woodethorpe were married March 20th." Of this the "wife of his youth and the mother of his children" Banks suggests that she probably died on the island prior to John Doggett's removal to Plymouth. John Doggett removed once again after 1665 to Plymouth, Massachusetts and was again, there, married on 29 AUG 1667 to MRS. BATHSHEBA (FAY?) PRATT, the widow of Joshua Pratt of Plymouth. She was living as late as 4 JUN 1673.
