James S. Doty

He married Eliza Ann Dalton^1,5,9,10,11 [Eliza Ann Dalton⁵, Annie Dolton¹, Anna Dolton¹], Aug 18 1859^1,5,9,10,11, Hecla, Lawrence County, Ohio^1,5,9,10,11. Eliza Ann Dalton, daughter of Willis Dolton & Rebecca Pickeral, was born Jun 27 1841, Virginia.^1,2,3,12

James S. Doty died Sep 11 1869^4,8,13 [Sep 14 1869^1,3], Patoka, Marion County, Illinois^4,8,13; age "47 Yr"^4,8,13. James died from "flux" (now called dysentery), with severe diarrhea, as did his brother Allen in the same county in the same month.⁸

Widow Annie and family were shown in the 1870 census (Jun 28 1870), Marion County, Illinois:²

After James' death, Annie placed son William with some farmers to work for his schooling. Taking daughter Molly with her she did housekeeping until¹ Mar 6 1873,¹⁵ when she remaried to a Mr. David Sutton Cozad (Sr.), Mar 6 1873 in Patoka.^1,15 Annie and David Cozad had a son, James M. Cozad, born c1875, Illinois¹²

Annie and family were shown in the 1880 census (Jun 12 1880), Marion County, Illinois:¹²

After Mr. Cozad's death (Dec 11 1891)¹³ she worked at various occupations.¹ She married to George W. Eaglin of Patoka, Jun 14 1893,^1,15 DeWitt County, Illinois¹⁵

After Annie died George W. Eaglin remarried to a Jessie Free, Sep 27 1899, Marion County, Illinois.¹⁵

In January of 1902 a letter was sent to son William Franklin Doty; the letter itself is not extant but the envelope was saved. On the back of the envelope, probably in the handwriting of granddaughter Mary Beatrix Doty, was written "Dads Relatives" (see scan below). The return address on the envelope shows no name, but only the address 1222 Sherman Ave, "Alleg City Pa" (Allegheny City, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania - in 1907 incorporated into the city of Pittsburgh). In 1902 Agnes Doty was living at that address, so it is reasonable to conclude that Agnes Doty was apparently closely related to James Doty (her father was a John Doty who was born about 1816).
