     Richard Doggett was born on 13 April 1634 at Ipswich, co. Suffolk, England.¹

     John Boatman married Jane (?) after 1683
;
Her 3rd husband. Per "Dogetts and Other cousins":
     "Soon after the death of the Rev. Benjamin, his widow, Jane, married for the third time. Her new husband was John Boatman. John was apparently not popular with his stepchildren, and when young Benjamin became of age he sued Boatman in county court for taking advantage of Richard by putting him to work in the fields and not providing adequate support for him. The court ordered an accounting to be made by Boatman and restitution to be made to him. We can imagine that relations continued to be strained, as county court records."¹

      ; Per Med Lands:
     "ARKIL . Orderic Vitalis records that "Archillus potentissimus Nordanhymbrorum" made peace with William I King of England and granted "filium suum" as a hostage, dated to 1068[128]. Orderic Vitalis records that "Marius Suenus, Gaius Patricius, Edgarus Adelinus, Archillus et quatuor filii Karoli" joined the Danish fleet which sailed up the river Humber, dated to 1069[129].
     "m ---. The name of Arkil’s wife is not known."

I have never seen any credible evidence that Apphia's surname was Hughes. Seems to be an urban myth. Also, while Richard Bushrod purchased land in Westmoreland Co, there's no evidence he lived, died, or was buried there. In fact, all records for him say he was "of" Gloucester or York Co. In the last record that mentions him, dtd in 1670 after his death, Henry Whiting brought suit in Gloucester Co in right of his wife Apphia, widow of "Richard Bushrod of York County."

     "This will at least gives a clue to the English ancestry of the Virginia Bushrods and very probably is that of a brother of the emigrants. These emigrants were two brothers Thomas and Richard. Thomas came first to Mass. and afterwards to Virginia. He was long a prominent man in York County and was Burgess for the county 1658 60. His frequent clashes with the parish clergy' and the direction in his will that there should be no "common prayer" at his burial would indicate that he was a Puritan. The numerous legacies made by Samuel Bushrod to ministers would indicate that he was of the same faith. Thomas Bushrod married twice but left no children. His will was probated in York Co. in 1677. Richard Bushrod, his brother, lived in Gloucester County, and according to a[ deposition was born in 1626. He married Apphia-, and was ancestor of the Virginia family of the name. See Wm. & Mary Quarterly, XIV, 177.
George Scovel, born "infra the Isle of Purbeek, Dorset" about 1601, was a merchant in Virginia 1640.
