Born May 30 1689, Plymouth, Massachusetts Colony.²  

The records of Plymouth on Jul 2 1710 recorded "Benjamin Dotey of Plymouth sells his share of the estate of his father to James Warren" (his brother-in-law).²  It was probably about this time that he removed from Plymouth to Saybrook, Connecticut, where he afterwards resided, and where his brother, Samuel Doty, had preceeded him.²  No further record of him until his married at Saybrook in 1716.²  

He married Hester Bemen² [Hester Beman¹], Oct 2 1716², Saybrook, Connecticut².  Hester, daughter of Samuel Bemen & Hester Buckingham, was born Saybrook, Connecticut.²  

Hester's father, Samuel Bemen (or sometimes written Beamond), was born in Saybrook, Connecticut, and was a son of William Beamond, who came to Saybrook in the ship "Elizabeth" from London in 1635.²  Hester's mother, Hester Buckingham, was the eldest daughter of Rev. Thomas Buckingham, and sister of Anne Buckingham who married Benjamin's brother, Samuel Doty.²  

Children:²

Benjamin was a farmer, with a farm (the "Doty farm") about three miles from the village of Saybrook.²  

Benjamin and Hester seem to have been living until after 1762, but the exact dates of their deaths is not known.²
