from TAG, Vol 63, No. 4, Oct, 1988, page 215:

A False Account of the Birth and Parentage of Edward Doty Mayflower Passenger Exposed --

John Doughty of Dudlick or Duddlewick in the parish of Stottesdon, Co. Salop, DID exist and according to the published version of the Shropshire Visitation of 1623 (Harleian Soc. Pub., Vis Series, 28:250) he did marry (date not indicated) an Ann Holland.
This appears to be another case in which Gustave Anjou, not finding the information he sought, simply invented it. It is most unfortunate that what appear to be deliverate falsehoods are given new life and substance by their re-circulation today. Let the reader beware!
