Posted on: Columbia County NY. Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NY/Columbia/11809 Surname: DOTY, CADY, KNEELAND, MERVIN ------------------------- I am seeking information on the family of Simeon & Elizabeth Doty who moved to the Red Rock area of Columbia County c 1760 from Sharon, Litchfield Co., CT. The Doty-Doten Family In America records that the Doty family consisted of four sons, i.e. John, Samuel, Joseph and Simeon Jr. However, Elias Cady, son of Ebenezer Cady Sr. of Red Rock, married Keziah Doty, c 1777; and Benjamin Kneeland, another resident of Red Rock, married Bulah Doty, c 1772. Both Elias Cady & Benjamin Kneeland and their families later removed themselves to Burtonville, town of Charleston, Montgomery County, NY and appear to have been relatives as well as close neighbors. John Doty & Fanny Mervin,his wife, were also early [by 1790] residents of the town of Mohawk, Montgomery County, before apparently moving further west. Information on the Simeon Doty Family, from family records or other sources that might give some indication of whether Simeon & Elizabeth Doty were the parents of Keziah & Bulah would be appreciated. Information on John Doty, son of Simeon & Elizabeth, and members of his family would also be appreciated. I would be glad to share the information that I have collected on the Doty Family. Thank You!
