Caroline County, Virginia, is one of the "burned counties" of Virginia, and many of the contemporary records have been destroyed. We have had to reconstruct what we know about Thomas and his family from family lore, as told the Samuel Bradlee Doggett and included in his History of the Doggett-Daggett Family, and from surviving county records. We know that Thomas and his wife Bathsheba, whose parentage is as yet unknown, were born and married in Lancaster County, Virginia, and moved to Caroline County in the early 1750's. They are said to have had sixteen children, eight sons and eight daughters. The names of the eight sons have been determined, but of the daughters, only five have been identified.
Thomas was the eighth child of Benjamin Doggett, the eldest child of the Rev. Benjamin Doggett, and the eldest of the four children of Benjamin's second marriage. He is the progenitor of a large body of Doggett descendants, in Virginia and extending westward into Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Montana, and other midwestern and western states.
