Personal Facts and Details

	Events of close relatives
Baptism	17 July 1720 Piddington, Northamptonshire, England
Marriage	Lucy ‎(unknown)‎ - circa 1742 ‎(Age 21)‎ Piddington, Northamptonshire, England Shared Note: - Marriage location is likely but not certain.
Biographical Notes	Note: In the 1750s, the decade of Dorothy's birth, the curate of the Piddington church christened seventeen Plackett babies! Dorothy ‎[and her siblings]‎ grew up surrounded by a sizable number of cousins, aunts, uncles, and relatives even more distant.
Biographical Notes	Note: "Several extant parish documents give us some information about Dorothy's father Daniel. Among these documents is a lease signed by Daniel on October 17, 1753, three years before Dorothy was born. The document identifies Daniel as a yeoman. In a strict sense the title of yeoman was reserved for a man holding a small landed estate, but was more loosely used of a commoner or countryman who had some respectable standing in the community. A yeoman was a status below that of a gentleman. In Daniel Plackett's case the title probably indicates that he had leased some land previously. The lease, granted by Mr. William Wake for ninety-eight years, consisted of a house "lately erected by Placket" and a piece of ground. So in 1753 with five children and several yet to come, Daniel and Lucy settled into a new cottage."
Biographical Notes	Note: "It touched Carey to learn that his new-born boy was 'Jabez.' There were many Biblical names in the godly Plackett circle--Sarah, Elizabeth, Phoebe, Priscilla, Joseph, Daniel, Bartholomew, Thomas, and Mark; but no Jabez...." "We do not know how Dorothy Plackett met young William Carey. Perhaps they met when her father took her with him to services at the Hackleton Meeting House. We do know that Daniel Plackett was active with that group of believers. Or perhaps Dorothy met William when she visited her oldest sister Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Old. We can guess that they met at least by October 1779, when Carey began his apprenticeship with Mr. Old." ‎[Piddington and Hackleton were both small villages very close to each other.]‎
Biographical Notes	Note: "First, her ‎[Dorothy Plackett's]‎ father and presumably his entire family had been involved as dissenters for quite a while even before the formal organization ot this new church ‎[in Hackleton]‎.
Letters	Note: A letter written to Daniel Plackett, probably from his son-in-law William Carey: Dear Father, We are just going. The boat is just going out, and we are going on board--Thursday morning at five o'clock--June 14th 1793. We are all well and in good spirits. To Mr. Daniel Placket, Hackelton.
