Butler County is on the west edge of Ohio, directly north of Cincinatti. The town of Oxford (pop 20,000 or so) is home to Miami University. At Oxord is a "Doty Pioneer Homestead Museum" and a "Doty Settlement Cemetery."

There is an "Oxford Museum Association" ( http://www.orgs.muohio.edu/oxfordmuseumassociation/News/07SpringNL.html ) and while their page does not list those buried at the Settlement Cemetery, there is this Doty lineage and text:
"The Doty Mayflower Connection
After many years of research it has been confirmed that the Doty family of our Pioneer Farm was directly descended from Edward Doty, one of the 102 passengers who crowded aboard the Mayflower. The group that made the adventurous crossing in 1620 was not homogenous. Many of the passengers were members of the Leiden congregation, but they were joined by a number of English families or individuals who were hoping for a better life or seeking financial gain. These two general groups have sometimes been referred to as the "saints" and "strangers". Although the Leiden congregation had sent its strongest members with various skills for establishing the new colony, nearly half of the passengers died the first winter of the "great sickness".
Edward Doty arrived as a servant to Stephen Hopkins and was apparently still a servant in 1623 when the division of land was held, indicating that he was under the age of 25 during that time. He signed the Mayflower compact in November 1620, so he was likely over 21 upon signing. This narrows his apparent birth date to around 1597-1599. He married twice although nothing is known of his first wife. His second wife, Faith Clark, came on the ship Francis in April 1634 with father Thurston Clark and they were married in the following January in Plymouth.
Edward was the ancestor of the two Doty brothers of the Pioneer Farmstead. For simplicity, the generations are:
1) Edward Doty (1598-1655) Massachusetts
2) Samuel (c1644-1715) Massachusetts and New Jersey
3) Samuel, Jr. (1679-c1750) New Jersey
4) John (1709-1757) New Jersey
5) Samuel (1733-1817) New Jersey
6) Samuel, Jr. (1755-1829) New Jersey and Ohio
7) Jesse M. (1785-1849) New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio
8) Samuel (1810-1859) Pennsylvania and Butler Co. Ohio
8) Jesse J. (1818-1889) Butler Co. and Preble Co. Ohio"
