Richard Doggett was the second surviving son of the Rev. Benjamin Doggett and his wife Jane, and the first of their children born in Virginia. He is believed to have been born about 1672. As the parish register of Christ Church Parish in Lancaster County has been lost, no documentary evidence of his birth date exists. However, Rev. Benjamin, in his will refers to his "2 sons born in Virginia," and his birth does not appear in the register of Hadleigh parish in Suffolk, so we are sure that he was born after his mother came to Virginia to join her husband.
