n several occasions we find Joseph Dotey mentioned with the widow Ellis and members of her family. We get the impression there is a relationship, and since he had a son named Ellis this provides strong circumstantial evidence that he married a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Freeman) Ellis of Sandwich. This is further strengthened by the fact that Rochester Proprietor’s Records [1:68-9 and 2:63] show that Joseph Dotey "hath laid out to him 20 acres...this land is part of the 80-acre Division belonging to Elizabeth Ellis’ share," recorded 5 June 1706. [Dotey article, The American Genealogist (Jan 1960), 36:1]
