George Doggett (my 5th great grandfather) came from Tennessee to Missouri.  George is believed to be the son of Miller Doggett the Revolutionary War soldier.  George & several of his siblings - Isaac, Jacob & Susannah were early settlers in Missouri Territory.  They settled in the area that was first Ste. Genevieve County, then Washington County & finally St. Francois County. 

1800 - George is mentioned in Missouri records as early as 1800.

1813 - In January of 1813 in Big River Township George Doggett along with George McGahan (George Doggett's son-in-law) & James Martin were chosen as arbitrators in a case between William Alley & Moses Ferguson.  George McGahan failed to meet on the designated day so James Perry was chosen in his place. 

1814 - March - in Big River Township, Washington County, George took up a stray black horse aged about five years &  appraised at $20.

1816 - On 24 December 1816 George & five others - Isaac Doggett, Leanah Edes, John Sullens, Henry Tripp & Louis Sims, all of Missouri sold their three combined shares of Miller Doggett's 200 acres of land in Jefferson County, Tennessee to Thomas Doggett of Tennessee.

1822 - George Doggett died intestate in St.Louis, Missouri.  John & Asa Doggett were the executors of his estate.  In the probate record the sons were listed first: Asa, Isaac, John Doggett's widow Nancy.  Then the daughters: Rachel, Mary, Rhodey.  Each child inherited $15.34.

Asa - b: Tenn.      d: after 1833-  Asa was executor of his father's estate along with his brother John Doggett until John's death in 1831 then Asa became the sole executor.  Asa died sometime after 1833.

Isaac - b: 1806 St. Louis - d: 1854 St. Louis - m: Catherine Massey in 1827. (They were residing in Osage Co., Mo. in 1840)

John - was born in Tenneessee prior to 1790.  He married Nancy Massey & the family settled about 12 miles from St. Louis, Missouri where he owned land part of which formerly belonged to William Massey.  John Doggett sold his property in 1829 to his physician Dr. Lane.  Prior to that date John had become ill & emaciated suffering from occasional convulsions greatly impairing his mind.  He eventually became completely paralyzed & died in that condition in 1831.  After John's death Dr. Lane permitted Widow Massey & her children to continue to live on the land due to the poverty of the family until such time as he sold it to Mr. Ewing.  In 1845 John Doggett's widow filed a law suit against Dr. Lane claiming that he took advantage of John Doggett's mental condition to fraudulently obtain the land.  John's sister, Rhoda Jackson, along with others testified as to John's mental instability at the time of the deed.  Dr. Lane also produced witnesses who testified to the opposite.  The case was eventually dismissed by the court.

Rachel - was born in Tennessee 8 Dec. 1791.  She was married to George McGahan a prominent early settler in St. Francois County, Missouri. 

Mary - b: 1796 Tenn.  m: George Williams.  In 1850 they had children: Noah (b:1826), John (b:1829), George(b:1831), Rachel (1834).  In 1860 Mary Doggett Williams was living with her son George M.G. Williams & his wife Permelia along with Sarah Masey age 32 & her children Narcissa age 10 & Mary age 8.

Rhodey -  was born in Tennessee in 1797.  Rhoda was first married to her cousin Jesse Doggett.  After his death in 1824 1828 Rhoda married William Jackson & they had five children.
