time with Minor Doodes (see "Hening's Statutes at Large," vol 2, page

wife, Mary Doodes. Among the Dutch immigrants who came to Virginia

Doodes mentions a daughter, Marie Montague, and her daughter Marie;
sons Doodes Mindert and Peter Montague. The will of the last named
Doodes Minor, dated 13 Nov., 1694, mentions his wife Elizabeth and four
sons: Minor, William, Garrett and Peter. In the Christ Church Parish
