Sophia directly descends from multiple Mayflower passengers or indirectly relates to others. Lyman genealogies for her husband allude only to her Doty lineage and omit reference to all of the other.

Her Doty lineage traces to indentured servant, duelist, legal wrangler Edward Doty who was married twice and had a line of nine children.

Sophia also was directly related to Mayflower passengers John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley, plus Alice Carpenter (Southworth), the second wife of Plymouth Colony Gov. William Bradford.

Her direct lineage also includes King Edward I of England.

Sophia's mother was Marie Antoinette Chapman Hollister Doty, who married David Doty Jr. at Sharon, CT and moved with him to Portage County, Ohio.

According to the published Lyman Coleman genealogy book, David and Sophia Doty Lyman were the parents of four daughters who died in infancy/toddlerhood. So far, that source is the only one for this report. It says the prematurely deceased children were Sophia, 1845-1848;Katie, 1847-1848; and twins Clara and Nellie, born in 1851 and who died in 1852 and 1853, respectively.

The daughters are definitely not buried with their parents, according to their parents' cemetery record and spacing. Potentially buried with their grandparents in Ravenna? Or the family farm in Jefferson Township, Coshocton County? Still checking for available sourcing.

Sophia's husband died after sickening while visiting their surviving son, then a midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy.
