According to family legends and formal archive files, gentry and noble family of Dubovitsky (Dubowicki) descends from Greater Poland, from which Ioann Voin (Fyodor?) Lamovsky or Lomovsky (Lamowski), Dubovitsky's forefather, had arrived. Taking into account Dubovitsky's coat of arms, Polish Dubovitskys had been relative to a Polish heraldic banner - Grzymala. Click here to find more information on one of the most ancient Polish arms. Some specialists assume that the Grzymala had originated in the reign of Lech the First. Coat of arms of Dubovitskys were included in Obshiy Gerbovnik, Russia's official volumes containing admitted arms of Russian gentry, noble and aristocratic families; 10th volume, p. 48.
Russian description of Dubovitskys' arms is here.
Genealogy of the Dubovitskys.
I. The forefather was Ioann Voin (Fyodor?) Lamovsky (Lomovsky). Note that Voin is not a name, it's a reference to St. Ivan the Voin, his patron. He had arrived to Moscow State in 1500's from Sieradz voyevodstvo (area of Sieradz, Poland).

VI. Vasiliy Ivanovich Dubovitsky. Several transactions had been made by him. He had bartered some lands in Ryazan Region.
He had had an impressive beard, that caused him many troubles during the reign of Peter the First (Romanov), which didn't
like such a deviation from European style.

These spouses were noblemen, not gentry. The page comprises several portraits by Borovikovsky, famous painter of that epoch. Each portrait presented may be enlarged. By the way, there are busts of P. N. and his son A. P. Dubovitskys by Russian sculptor A. N. Belyaev, but I failed to locate them.
