Notes:
All information presented for John Doggett is from either his will, the Suffolk Manorial Families by J.J.Muskett (1899), or the Bures St. Mary Parish Register as presented by Rodney Dennys. All else is speculation.
He is believed to have married Martha Ashefield, based on the will of Robert Ashefield, of Stowlangtoft, Suffolk, which mentions his "brother" John Dogett and two sons of John by "Martha my sister." This documentation has inconsistencies and seems insufficient. No other documentation for this marriage has been discovered at this time.

*John's will mentions only three children ("my thre children"), William, John, and Anne. Ardeyle may be a place name or an item left to his daughter, Anne. If Ardeyle is a married daughter, the will lists no item being left to her. The daughter transcribed as "Oreel" is believed to have died before the will was made, and is therefore not mentioned.
