Daughter of Colonel Thomas Doty.
She married Perez Tillson in Plymouth on November 20, 1746.

Note on Elizabeth's father Col Thomas Doty:
Thomas Doty only son of Thomas Doty and Elizabeth Harlow, b. Plymouth, Mass., Jan. 26, 1704.
Colonel Thomas Doty, mariner, soldier and innkeeper, was undoubtedly the last member of his
branch to bear the family name, Doty.
The exact date of his death is not known, but as he was at this time eight-six years of age, it probably occurred soon after and at Stoughton; nor is there on record anything to indicate the date of his marriage or the name of his wife. Tombstones on Burial Hill at Plymouth, alone furnish the items that
show that he had an only daughter.
(Col. Thomas Doty removed to Stoughton at least as eary as 1770, in the house which
has become historical under the name of "The Doty Tavern.")
