Dianna - As a follow-up to Harlow's message, I would note that I've just been checking some other sources and cannot find James' origins. There appears to be no mention of him in Robert Charles Anderson, "The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633," 3 vols. (Boston: Great Migration Study Project, NEHGS, 1995), implying that he was not recorded as being in New England by 1633. His marriage to Lydia is found in F. Apthorp Foster, ed., "Vital Records of Scituate, Massachusetts, to the Year 1850," 2 vols. (Boston: NEHGS, 1909), v. 2, p. 107: DOUGHTEY, James and Lydia Turner, d. Humph, Aug. 15, 1649.* (The asterisk indicates that the intention is not recorded). For more information on Lydia Turner's mother see Vernon Dow Turner, "Lydia Gaymer, the Wife of Humphrey Turner of Scituate," New England Historical and Genealogical Register, v. 151 [July 1977], pp. 286-290. No information is given there about James. Dale H. Cook USGenWeb Plymouth County MA Towns http://www.rootsweb.com/~macbrock/sites.html
