The ancestry of Edward Doty is not known. He was a servant of Steven Hopkins, and was said to be of London. The Mormon's International Genealogical Index says Edward Doty was born in Shropshire, England c1599, but this record is fictitious.
Charles Banks notes a marriage of an Edward Dowty and Wynifryd Waryner, 12 December 1613, in St. Mary-le-Strand, London. This is probably not the Edward of the Mayflower for a couple of reasons. First, if Edward was born around 1599, he would have only been 14 at the time of the marriage. Second, Edward was a servant and servants weren't usually married. Third, Edward didn't re-marry until 1634, yet if this was his first wife she clearly died before 1620. Fourteen years without remarrying, in those days, would have been quite an unusually long time period.
Another possible clue is a Thomas Dowghty who was married four years later. Edward named one of his sons Thomas, so perhaps this is a relative--a brother, cousin, or possibly his father re-marrying.
Edward Doty is recorded as a contentious man, often in trouble with the law. On 18 June 1621 he fought with Edward Leister in what would become the colonies first and only duel. Neither were seriously injured, and both were subsequently punished. During his life, he would be charged with various crimes, including trespassing, assault and battery, and breaking the peace (MFIP Doty, p. 2).
