William Dossey Married: Mary Greenberry born: in Hockley in the Hole, Arundel Co., Maryland.  The author believes that the ancestry of both William Dossey and his wife Mary Greenberry or Greenbury goes back to the Dorsey and Greenberry families who were among the first settlers of Anne Arundel Co., Maryland. They were prominent in the gentry of the period, and held substantial lands on the river opposite what is now the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. Much has been written about Edward Dorsey, the original Dorsey of the American line, and Nicholas Greenberry, the original of that American line. Edward Dorsey is supposed to be a descendant of the D'Arcy line of continental royal ancestry. Further diligent research should establish these people as ancestors of our Dossey line, and, eventually establish a royal ancestral line of the Arrowsmith-Standlee-Briscoe-Dossey line.
