Alice Beauchamp died before 5 May 1703 at co. Middlesex, England.¹
     Alice Beauchamp left a will on 28 August 1699; The Will of Alice, dated 28 Aug 1699, was probated 5 May 1703 in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (P.C.C. 127 Degg). She is stated to reside in the Parish of St. Andrew, Holbourne, Middlesex. She mentions her daughter Alice Debary, wife of David Debary; her son-in-law, Justus Otgher; her son John Dogett and his wife; her son Benjamin and his wife; Katherine, dau. of Justus Otgher, wife of David Longuemantle and her children. It is noted that John and Benjamin were engaged in the trade of woodmonger. Alice's will is also abstracted in SBD. As indicated below, Otgher had written his brother-in-law Benjamin Doggett, then residing in Jamaica, to tell him that Alice had named Otgher as executor, but that John had filed a protest. Otgher advised Benjamin that his mother's estate had been diminished by losses and illness, and that John owed more to the estate than his share. John wrote to Benjamin in reply, asking him not to tell Otgher that John had received Otgher's letter as "it will doe me a diskindness."

John Doggett died on 6 April 1680 at St. Lawrence Pountney Parish, London, City of London, Greater London, England.¹
      ; At the Visitation of London, 1665, this John Doggett entered a pedigree beginning with his father, John of Groton, and continuing through his father, John of London, and himself to his children, Beauchamp, John, Benjamin, Alice and Elizabeth. John is described as John Dogget of London, merchant, married to Alice, dau. of John Beauchamp, of London.
The Will of John, dated 26 Dec 1679, was probated 6 Apr 1680, by Alice Doggett, his widow in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (P.C.C.46 Bath). He is referred to as "of London, Esq.,", residing in the Parish of St. Lawrence Pountney, London. The use of the term Esq. is consistent with the use of a coat of arms described with the pedigree, but as Rodney Dennys pointed out, John was never officially entitled to arms. The will names his wife, Alice, and appoints her as executrix. He also names his three unmarried children, John, Benjamin and Alice. The sons were given £1000 each, £500 at age 24 and £500 at age 28. The daughter, Alice, was given £1500 at age 21 or marriage. Elizabeth was married by this time to Justus Otgher, and they are mentioned with their children, including son John. He also mentions his deceased sister Watson, and her three daughters, Esther Norris, Margaret Watson and Katherine Watson. He also made several gifts to charity, including one to the orphan's house in Hamburg, which he states was his place of nativity. The will is abstracted in SBD.¹
