INTRODUCTION.
This book, like many another, is a growth from small beginnings.
In 1870 the compiler, a boy of fifteen years, read a little pamphlet
on the genealogy of the Doanes and Osborns, written in 1836 by his
great grandfather Israel Doane (86). The interest in the subject of
our history, thus awakened in the compiler's mind, found its earliest
expression in his first genealogical letter, dated Oct. 5, 1878. What
was at first the indulgence of a taste for genealogical research, and
begun only to gratify an earnest desire to know something of his an-
cestors, their nativity, branchings and history, grew into a work of
large proportions ; and as the researches brought to light much that
was deemed interesting and worthy of preservation, a book embody-
ing the genealogy of all branches of the family seemed a necessity
and the present volume is the outgrowth, after more than twenty
years of patient labor.
Several attempts, with greater or less degree of success, have been
made to collect and compile the records of the Doane family in Amer-
ica, and in this connection several individuals in particular should
have more than a passing notice.
Beginning about the year 1880, the late John A. Doane of Atlanta,
Ga., spent much thought, time and money in compiling a manuscript
record of his ancestors. He died before completing the work, and
the result of his researches, kindly placed at our disposal by his fam-
ily, is incorporated into this book.
About the same time Alfred J. Doane (526), of Jersey City, be-
came interested in the subject of the family history, and the account
we have given of Israel Doane (235) and his descendants is the re-
sult of his extensive correspondence and persistent research among
original records of Bucks and Chester counties, Pa.
Beginning with its issue of June 9, 1885, the Doylestoivn Democrat
of Doylestown, Pa., published a series of papers on the genealogy of
the Pennsylvania branch of the family written by the late Dr. Buck-
man of Philadelphia. On Dr. Buckman's death a year or two later,
(vi)

his genealogical papers passed into the possession of Mr. Alfred J.
Doane, by whose courtesy they are herein reproduced, almost verba-
tim, in our history of the descendants of Daniel Doane (14) the Friend,
of Cape Cod and Pennsylvania.
For the data of the descendants of Timothy Doane (168) and of
Nathaniel Doane (169) the reader is indebted to Col. O. J. Hodge of
Cleveland, Ohio, and for the genealogy of the descendants of Capt.
Edward Doane (117) we are indebted to George W. Scott (534), who
has compiled the records of his maternal ancestors.
We are fortunate indeed in having our notes on the English Family
from the pen of Mrs. Sarah Cash of Delamere, Cheshire, England,
a writer well known to the genealogical magazines of her county.
Mrs. Cash's home is within the limits of the ancient Delamere Forest,
of which for many hundreds of years the Dones were Chief Foresters,
and during the past two years she has contributed, to Cheshire Notes
and Queries, a series of highly interesting articles on the Dones of
Utkinton.
Beyond this special mention there are many other helpers whose
invaluable and continued assistance is hereby acknowledged, and it
is impossible to let this book go forth on its little mission, without
expressiug my gratitude to those friends who have not only furnished
their records, portraits, etc., but have contributed, unsolicited, of
their means, to ease the burden of the preparation of this book — one
of the many ways in which the harvest of their generous lives will be
reaped by others.
The following pages do not purport to be a full genealogy of the
Doanes, but rather a record of apart of this numerous family. The
genealogy of several branches is traced only to a very limited extent.
It has been impossible to reach all its members, and of those reached
several have preferred to withhold their data, while many others have
been unable to furnish much if any information.
The compiler has the names, and records more or less complete,
of hundreds of descendants not assigned to proper place in this book,
as well as numerous hints and clews to valuable data, and has already
entered upon the work of compiling a second book, purposing, with
proper cooperation, to exhaust all possible sources of information.
In the gathering together of thousands of dates and names it is
not surprising if mistakes occur, especially when even members of
the same family disagree as to data. An effort has been made in
this book to preserve accuracy ; and however incomplete and open to
Vlll INTRODUCTION.
correction and criticism this record may be, the reader can be fairly
confident that it contains the solution of most of the puzzling
problems in the genealogy of the several branches, and it is believed
that any descendant wherever found can easily trace his or her line
back to Dea. John Doane by the data herein furnished.
The work of preparing the present volume has been a perplexing
one and has brought the compiler more trials than any other member
of the family can well imagine, yet withal it has been a "labor of
love," and if the book contains something of interest to the sons and
daughters of Dea. John Doane, it will bring its reward ; and the
satisfaction that comes from being the means of saving, from a too
common fate, a portion of the old records of an honored race, will
be at least part payment for the sacrifice involved.
For the sake of uniformity we have retained throughout our trac-
ings of the descendants of Dea. John Doane the original form of the
name — Doane. Many inquiries have been made as to the change in
the spelling of the name from Doane to Doan in several branches of
the family, particularly in the South and West. I can only state that
Dea. John Doane, his sons, and it is believed every member of the
early generations on Cape Cod, invariably signed public documents
with the final e in their name, and therefore we claim that these Doans
are and of right ought to be Doanes.
Dea. John Doane left his numerous descendants as legacy the
escutcheon of an honest name. For two hundred and seventeen
years his ashes have mingled with mother earth in an unmarked
grave in the old Town Cove burial-ground at Eastham, Mass. It is
to be regretted that no stone designates the spot, but it is hoped that
family pride and the abundant prosperity of his descendants, will
erect ere long a fitting memorial stone, that future generations may
know where their Pilgrim ancestor lies buried.
Any person who may discover any error in this genealogy, will
confer a favor on the compiler by immediately notifying him thereof.
Your corrections and additions are invited. The compiler's present
address is not that of a permanent residence, and on any failure to
reach him thus, address, 21 Hillside Ave., Maiden, Mass.
A limited number of extra copies of this volume have been printed,
and may be secured while they last. For a short time the price will
remain unchanged but a little later it will be raised to the regular
rate for such works.

NOTES UPON THE DONE FAMILY OF
CHESHIRE, ENGLAND.
BY SARAH CASH.
The old Hall of Utkinton, situated among the leafy green lanes of
the picturesque little hamlet of Utkinton, one mile north of Tarporley,
has long been known as the home of the Dones.
ANCIENT SEAT OF THE DONES.
In the Church of Tarporley are several fine monuments of the Done
family and it is interesting to note that Ormerod, in his History of
Cheshire, gives considerable space to this particular family and
locality. Pennant also, in the quaint old book, A Journey to Chester,
not only gives the vicinity and geographical position of Utkinton and
Tarporley, but furthermore states after what manner the ancient
mastership of the Forest of Delamere had been conveyed to the
(ix)
THE DONE FAMILY OF CHESHIRE, ENGLAND.
Dories, who, according to ancient writings, had been accorded the name
of the Earl of Chester's Foresters and who possessed a power little
short of the Earl's Barons themselves ; exercising through their ser-
geants a jurisdiction over fifty parishes. It would seem, therefore,
that during a long lapse of years, say from 1200 to the seventeenth
century, a " Done," one or another of them, had not failed to make
a prominent figure either in a political, moral or social sense relative
to the annals of his County.
It is supposed that the earliest settlement of the Dones at Utkinton
was in King John's reign, 1199-1216, as in old histories at a very
early period is given a marriage between
a Done and a Kingsley, formerly spelt
Kyngslie or Chingslie, and where, as ap-
peared, the ancient manor of that name
had just passed from a Saxon owner-
ship ; and an interesting fact given in
the Doomsday survey is, that this is one
of the few instances of an estate having
been continued by a Saxon proprietor, —
as by Ormerod, — "Dunning tenet de
comite Chingeslie."
The office of Forestership or Rangers
of the Forest, by any noblemen holding
such post, the same is held, figuratively
speaking, by the "tenure of a horn," which particular horn in this
case had been held by the Dones through transcending generations,
the same having been conveyed at the marriage of Johanna, fourth
daughter of Richard de Kyngslie to Henry Done, son of Richard
Done of Utkinton.
This horn the grand forester wore at his side,
Whene'er his liege lord chose a hunting to ride :
By Sir Ralph and his heirs for a century blown,
It passed from their lips to the mouth of a Done."
This singular heirloom, with the attachment of a broad silken
braid evidently hand made and by which it was suspended from the
person of the wearer, in color a soft greenish hue skillfully mingled
with a gold thread, is still in excellent preservation. The horn is
black, and that of a foreign animal, hooped with three hoops of gold,
and considerably curved ; it is fourteen inches in length, five inches
THE DONE FAMILY OF CHESHIRE, ENGLAND. XI
between the extremities of the curve, three quarters of an inch in
diameter in the narrowest part, and one and three quarters at its
greatest breadth. This horn must have been frequently worn by the
reigning lord of Done when in exercise of his office or upon any
more formal or state occasion when leading to the hunts, as it is
pretty generally known that English Kings from time to time visited
the noted forest of Delamere for the purpose of hunting, King James
the first, himself, having been a guest at Utkinton in 1617.
The ancient orthography of the name Done is not very clear. It
is supposed to be derived from Dun or Dune, meaning a stronghold
or hill fortress, but for ages it has been pronounced with the o long.
It is exceedingly difficult to decipher the name in old manuscripts and
in parish registers, the same frequently appearing as Donne, Dourn,
Downe, etc., and it being readily imagined that the Dones dating
back over so long a period, that their first and earliest residence had
occupied the very spot upon which now stands the present Hall and
might very well, owing to the nature of the times and suiToundings,
be said to resemble a stronghold or, as so said, a hill or fortress.
Mention has been made in old records of the neighborhood, of the
"dungeons" of Utkinton or the dungeons of the forest, and there
is a field of some acres lying on the borders of the present forest and
distant some three quarters of a mile from the old Hall, which still
goes by the name of the " dungeons." This is singular to note as
in times gone by certain due inflictions for punishment against dep-
redators on forest laws must necessarily have been brought before
the Dones as Master Foresters ; and it is known that certain feuds
would sometimes occur between men of a similar social standing.
An account is given in the Duttons of Dutton, an ancient manor of
the Forest, of Sir Piers Dutton who had killed deer in the Kings
Forest and with fifty of his servants had prevented Sir John Done's
servants from bringing in a stag that was straying from the forest.
It seems that the privileges vested in the role of " Master of the
Forestership " were extensive and somewhat curious ; amongst them
were claimed by the Master, all swarms of bees, the right shoulder of
all deer, and who had also power of beheading any thief taken in the
act.
Many items of interest concerning the ancient Dones are found in
the primitive records of past history, the Recognizance Molls, referring
often to details of trade which might to some extent be carried on by
barter and exchange, a sort of tributary commerce which appeared
XI 1 THE DONE FAMILY OF CHESHIRE, ENGLAND.
suiting well those times and conditions of men. Here for instance is
an entry dated June 3, 1334, to Richard Done, Forester of Mara, a
warrant for the delivery of oats to certain persons. Again in 1337,
Demise to Richard Done, Forester of Delamere for the fisheries within
the said Forest for six years at 13.4 yearly ; and in 1351 Warrant
for pardon for Richard Done then in Forest of Mara, Hugh de Fro-
desham, John le Cler, Robt. Helhden and other under-forest men for
the death of one Robt. Coswyn slain by them in execution of their
office.
Again is entry of a Margaret, daughter of John Done of Utkinton,
1397. A simple entry enough, yet associated with the ancient patri-
mony of the " old hall," the mind naturally falls back on pathetic
sentiment and adds to it the alleged tale of the silken attire said to
be still hanging upon a row of ancient pegs in the haunted room, into
which now no one ever goes. The tale may be true or it may not,
yet the same has been handed down from a long past date ; it is how-
ever said by the older inhabitants of the district, that the "ghost"
was " laid " by a catholic priest some years ago and made to take the
form of a black bird, and that fact accounts for the number of black-
birds yet seen about the place. In 1411 is entry again of a John Done
of Utkinton, who had a lease of the profits issuing from the forfeiture
of swine and goats. On AugH 6th, 1415, of a John Done, son of John
Done, Jr., grantee of letters of protection on his going abroad in the
retinue of the King, which is a noteworthy fact to remark, as King
Richard had selected one of his faithful bodyguard from this family
whose names are John de Leygh del Boothes, Thorn Cholmondeley,
Ralph Duddon, Adam Bostoke and " John Donne;" and upon occa-
sion the King having landed at Milford Haven, he is described as
" havynge with him these seaven valiant and gentle esquires of the
countie of Cheshire." Again, is noted from the same source, the John
Done slain at Blore Heath ; and memorable indeed ! was that hand
to hand fight, where brother, brother met and where neighbor against
neighbor in close conflict fought, till many notable men of valor lay
dead upon the field, and — as portrayed by Drayton's pathetic verse —
" There Dutton, Duttou kills,
A Done, doth kill a Done."
A suit of armour still hangs from the upper walls of Tarporley
Church, which in all probability is the same worn by John Done when
he fell at Blore Heath. It is said that a few years ago there was a

small monumental tablet recording this, — but owing to alterations in
the Church, this interesting memento is supposed to have been removed
or destroyed.
Frequent intermarriages of the Dones with other great families in
Cheshire took place as a natural consequence to their relative associ-
ations and possessions. This family is allied to one of the notably
oldest families of the county, the Veuables of Utkintou, a race spoken
of as " a race of warriors." It would be from these men probably
that the Dones got their inherited powers and dominion to rule ; and
were there no other fact, the Arms of Done as given by Ormerod, are
sufficient proof as to the connection between the immediate and su-
Arms. Azure, two barrs Argent over all, on a bend Gueles, three arrows Argent

by a further addition of " three arrows" in allusion to their office of

copies the Doane shield from
Edmondson, in his General
Armoury, 3rd edition, 1850,
but omits it from all later
editions.
The reproduction on the
opposite page is from a pho-
tograph found in several
branches of the American
family and is the Doane Arms described by Edmondson.
The first and chief residence of the Done family appears to have
been at the old hall of Utkinton, yet of the first earliest mansion it
is thought that not a vestige probably now remains, unless indeed it
be some of the ponderous foundation stones, covered with moss and
overshadowed by a rank vegetation of tall grass, nettles and other
verdure, showing partly a grated iron bound window inevitably sug-
gestive of the gloomy portals of a prison, sometimes mentioned in
Pleas of the Forest, and of a whispered note among older inhabitants
of the district of a said-to-be " blank " in the Done Pedigree, or of
some oft-told and weird tale of a " missing heir;" for it so happens
in the County of Cheshire, that if an old hall or an ancient manor have

not a ghost story, it must needs have something of a like nature;
either blood stains that cannot be washed off, or some locked up
mystery wholly unfathomable to the mind that feeds on it. Still, at
the same time, Ormerod in this family's pedigree does make mention
of a Done, whose personality cannot be traced, as no certain entry
of his death or burial had been found.
With regard to the family of Done, as well as the Dones of
Utkinton there were Dones of " Dudden" and Dones of " Flax-
yards." Dudden is a small hamlet two miles from Utkinton and
in the direction of Tarvin, where
is a fine old Church in which
parish registers are entries of
the Dones of Dudden as well as
a tablet in the church to the
same. Of the old hall of Dud-
den, their former residence, one
interesting old gable yet re-
mains. Of Flax-yards, the house
now turned into a farm-house,
still carries with it an imposing
formality with its many win-
dowed front, its dark-toned
brick and stone facings. In a
quaintly worded journal, where
the author seems to have visited
various points of interest in the
neighborhood, he alludes as fol-
lows to Flaxy ards and the
Dones : " Near to Tarporley,
we see indeed, the ruins of a
house, yet with no decay of
the name or the owners thereof, the ancient seat of the Dones,
between whom and the Dones of Utkinton I have heard was no little
emulation until it pleased God, the heirs male of Utkinton failing were
glad to knit with the Dones of Flaxyards, that so the union by mar-
riage might make one greater name, as now in the person of the
worthy Knight Sir John Done of Utkinton, a gentleman replete in
many excellencies of nature, wit and ingenuity."
The portrait reproduction of Sir John and Lady Done has been
photographed from an ancient painting now hanging in Marple Hall,

near Stockport. There is a similar portrait of Sir John Done at
Arderne Hall, the property of the Earl of Haddington. The picture
is well preserved, though dark in tone, aud the figure appears to have
been depicted as wearing the Bugle Horn.
This Sir John Done, born 1576 and died Apr. 13, 1629, was
knighted by King James I in 1617. He married Dorothy, eldest
daughter of Thomas Wilbraham of Woodhey, Esq., and with his
youthful bride went to reside for some time, according to the desire
of his father-in-law, in the house of the celebrated John Bruen of
Stapleford, in order to be schooled in the principles and habits of
Puritanism. They imbibed Presbyterian tenets, and on the troubles
of the 17th century the family adopted the cause of Parliament.
Tradition still speaks of the hospitalities of Utkinton Hall during
the occupancy of this Sir John Done, the last possessor of the
ancient line. His lady, Dorothy Done, was possessed of such ami-
ableness of temper and excellency of character that when a Cheshire
man would express excellency in the fair sex, he will say : "As fair
as Lady Done," or" There's a Lady Done for you," both of which
are well known proverbs to this day in Cheshire. The year following
the death of Sir John Done the direct male line of his family termi-
nated in his son. The forestership then became the property of the
eldest daughter, Miss Jane Done, on whose death in 1662, it passed
to the Crewes in right of Mary, second daughter of Sir John Done ;
and on the termination of this line, it passed in 1715, to the grand-
son of Eleanor, youngest daughter of Sir John Done, thence to John
Arderne, Esq.
A number of the old pictures with the Bugle Horn and other fam-
ily relics, had been left at the old Hall of Utkinton until the year
1629, when in default of male heirs the estate passed by female heir-
esses to the Crewes and Ardernes. A considerable number of the
pictures had been removed to Harden hall near to Stockport, some
of them family portraits, and one especially interesting from an his-
toric point of view, being that of Mrs. Jane Lane, said to be a Done.
This lady had distinguished herself in history by having assisted the
escape of Charles II. after the battle of Worcester. The figure is
represented as concealing the crown covered by a black veil and on
the scroll the words, Sic jurat ire sub umbra.
These pictures were afterward removed to the town house of the
Ardernes, a fine old timber and plaster house, situated on the Under-
bank, Stockport.

On the side of the forest, north of Utkinton, are frequent evi-
dences of consecutive narrow lanes, mostly tending from a point on
the Forest, known as the "Old Pale," a sort of enclosure where deer
were kept. These lanes are narrow and come more under the term
"jetty," an obsolete Cheshire word not much used now, signifying a
lane too narrow for a vehicle, but with high sheltering banks or
hedges clothed with verdure, the hawthorn, honeysuckle and bram-
ble. The lanes all tend in the direction of Utkinton, making as it
were the Old Hall a focus for the same, showing that in those days
Utkinton Hall with the demesne thereof was a center of considerable
importance. The main door of entrance to Utkinton Hall seems to have
been always from the north side and is approached by a gateway
similar in character to the blocked-up oue as shown in the drawing.

This gateway is upon the east side, following which are the re-

nected a sad tale, telling of how a little girl, the daughter of a Done,
had fallen into the water while gathering primroses and was drowned.

ings. The bi'oad oak door opens direct into the spacious entrance
hall measuring some thirty to forty feet square and in height is some-
what low in proportion to the surface area. The floor is of smooth
laid Yorkshire flag, while from the center springs a huge pillar of oak,
measuring in girth some nine feet, and, extending through two upper
floors, has given rise to the term roof-tree, which same tree had prob-
ably in the neighboring forest ranked as a monarch among his kind.
Against the side walls of the ancient apartment are some fine
pieces of old oak furniture highly carved and dark with age ; one a
high backed settee, another a heavily carved barcase or cupboard,
holding ware of an old date, while upon side tables are capacious
punch bowls of fine old china, showing that Utkiuton, in the days
gone by, had held cordial disposition to a generous hospitality. Upon
one of the walls of the apartment there hang two life-size portraits
painted upon wood ; one is of a man, who from his dress and appur-
tenances represents one of the so-called "running footmen," no doubt
one of those included in the category of what was called a quarter
knights fee as given in Time of Richard II, viz. — when a Richard
Done, in 1311, held post over ther Forest of Mara, there was given him
a horseman with eight footmen under him, to keep the forest then
valued at £10.10.3. The term " running footman " has been handed
down from a long past period. The service seemed to be to act as
swift runners, and it was in this capacity that they were attached to
the households of great families. A tale has been handed down by
this man, that having been deputed by his master to carry what was
thought to be a missive of importance to the London coach, which in
the old coaching days passed through Tarporley at a certain hour of
the day or night, he failed to do this, and fearing it is supposed the
certain anger of his master he stabbed himself.
These portraits were brought from the residence of the Flaxyard
Dones, and had been cut from panels. The deep rich tones of color
in them have been retained in a wonderful manner. In the highest or
roof story of Utldnton Hall, called the turrets, lies in the partial light
under the great oak beams, a heterogeneous mixture of all manner of
interesting objects : spinning wheels out of use, broken oak chairs
and tables, bundles of thatching, string and stout yard brooms with
the etcetera of every day farm life.
From the chief landing opens out the door leading into what is yet
called the " King's chamber." This would be the room occupied by
THE DONE FAMILY OF CHESHIRE, ENGLAND. MX
James I, when Lie visited Utkinton in 1617. The broad seated win-
dows overlook the quaintly flagged terrace below, where doubtless, in
the days gone by, had walked many a gay cavalier or courtly gentle-
man in ruffles and fine lace, or perchance, one hard and stern of coun-
tenance booted, spurred and ready for action, as it is pretty well
known that at the time of the Commonwealth the hall had been routed
and pressed and divested of many of its valuables. The plate is still
said to be buried in some part of the hall gardens, and there are the
remains of the subteraneous passage said to come out at Ash hill.
Cannon balls have, from time to time, been dug up in the vicinity,
and upon the other side the lane opposite the hall, is a spacious walled-
in enclosure, supposed to have been formerly used for games or
practice with the firelock.
Inside the halls gardens, still lie in places, the crumbling and fallen
plaster ; fragments of stone carving ; the fluted urn fallen from its
high pedestal ; the stone head, which, face upwards to the sun, seems
grinning discordance on the scene around — " So passeth the glory of
this world!"
The Done Monuments, still to be seen in Tarporley Church, are
very striking examples of the fine arts. Sculptured in marble they
retain in a great degree their purity and whiteness, while in the evi-
dent care and truthfulness of execution they show excellent workman-
ship and artistic skill. The foremost and recumbent figure is that of
Mrs. Mary Crewe (a Done), wife of John Crewe, Esq., who was af-
terwards Sir John Crewe and resided at Utkinton Hall.
The other figure is that of Miss Jane Done, a lady of widely phil-
anthropic views, and whose charitable bequests are still of note in
Tarporley.
The wording of the front of the monument reads as follows :
Near this place lies the body of Jane Done, eldest daughter of John Done
of Utkinton in this County Palatine of Chester, Knight, and one of the co-
heirs of John Done his son, Esquire. She was baptised Nov. 14, 1600.
And in virgin state and great reputation lived remarkably eminent for parts
and prudence, affability and generosity, charity and piety. Besides her
daily alms-giving and good deeds, she gave twenty pounds charged upon
certain lands in Tarporley to be yearly paid to the School adjacent forever,
and two hundred pounds now charged upon lands in Tattenhall for the
binding poor children in Tarporley and Utkinton apprentices. She was
a most tender lover of her no less affectionate sister Mary Crewe, upon
whom, and her heirs, she settled her proportion of ye estate. And from
whom she never parted till the day of her death, May 2, 1G22.

The second foremost tablet of the monument reads as follows :

daughter of Sir John Done, and another of the co-heirs of John Done Es-
quire and wife, and relict of John Crewe Esquire second son of Sir

DEACON JOHN DOANE
AND
HIS DESCENDANTS.
1 JOHN1 DOANE came over from England and settled in Ply-
month. He was the founder of the Doane family in America.
Nothing is yet known of his history in England, but the same is true
also of the greater number of the Pilgrims who repaired to these New
England shores before the middle of the seventeenth century. A
record was kept of those emigrants who on leaving England took the
oath of loyalty to the English Crown and promised conformity to
the Established Church. As a large number desired to avoid this
enforced allegiance and to settle in the land of their adoption, free
to follow their own religious inclinations, they took no legal depar-
ture but sailed away with more or less secrecy and were therefore
not enrolled in the official records of the government.
Of John Doane's early life, of his parentage, the place of his na-
tivity, the family name of his wife, the name of the vessel on which
he came nothing whatever has yet been discovered. From the fact
that he was one of the principal men in the affairs of the Plymouth
Colony, we infer, however, that he was heir to a good birthright,
that in some broad field education and friction had developed a man-
hood and strength of character that inspired the confidence of his
Plymouth associates.
John Doane was the first of the name in America and was the pro-
genitor of a numerous posterity. Savage's Genealogical Dictionary
of New England, Vol. n, p. 55, gives a John Done, aged 16, who
embarked at London on the Truelove in Sept., 1635 ; also a Henry
Doane of Watertown 1643, and a Richard Doane of Rhode Island in
1672. It has been suggested that John of the Truelove was the son
of John Doane of Plymouth. In 1706, John Doane, Jr., of Plymouth
(1)
2 THE DOANE FAMILY.
was about seventy-one years old, according to his own testimony in
his will, and therefore was born about 1635, the year the Truelove
sailed from London.
The year of John Doane's arrival in the Plymouth Colony can be
only approximately determined. The Rev. Enoch Pratt, in his His-
tory of Eastham, published in 1844, states that he came over in one
of the "three first ships," but his authority is not given. It is now
certain however that he did not come in the Mayflower, Fortune or
Ann, the first three ships to arrive at Plymouth. His name does not
appear in the list of Plymouth settlers in 1627, when the lands of the
Colony were divided among the members of the community. In the
notice of his daughter Abigail's death found on page 21 of this book,
it is stated that he "came to Plymouth with his wife in 1630." This
notice, printed in a Boston newspaper in 1735, is tolerably good evi-
dence as to the time of his arrival in the Plymouth Colony. Mr.
Nahum Mitchell, author of the History of Bridge-water, Mass., in a
letter dated Jan. 26, 1849, says : "Mr. John Doane came over to
New England about 1629, when history informs us that thirty-five
of the Leyden Company, with their families, arrived at Plymouth.
He no doubt was one of these and a member of Mr. Robinson's
church."
While it is not definitely known from what part of the United
Kingdom originally came the founder of the Doane family in Amer-
ica, there is a tradition that he was from "Wales, west of England."
This tradition and the statement in Ormerod's history, that the last
Sir John Done of the Cheshire family, during the troubles of the
seventeenth century, adopted the cause of parliament and imbibed
Presbyterian tenets, lead us to believe that our American ancestor
descended from the ancient Dones of Cheshire. The Cheshire family
very early spread out into Shropshire and other counties and possibly
into Wales, while the name is found on the registers of several of
the parish churches of London as early as 1590.
John Doane was a prominent man in Plymouth as soon as his ar-
rival there about 1630. He was one of the few who bore the title of
"Mr." The Pilgrims were very careful to give no titles where they
were not due. The late Amos Otis, genealogist of Early Barnstable
Families, says :
In the Plymouth Colony the Governor, deputy governor, the magistrates
and assistants, the ministers of the church, school-masters, officers in the
militia, men of great wealth or connected with the gentry or nobility were
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 3
entitled to be called Mister and their wives Mistress ; this rule was rigidly
enforced in earlier Colonial times, and in all lists of names it was almost
the universal custom to commence with those who stood highest in rank
and to follow that order to the end.
John Doane must have been known to the Pilgrims previous to his
coming to Plymouth. There are strong suggestions that he was in
partnership with Mr. John Atwood who was of London until 1635.
The Done family are found in London at this period and in former
generations there were not a few John Dones. He was a strong
man. His associates and the offices he was bidden to undertake by
the Governor, the Court and by the suffrages of his townsmen, show
him to have been a man of superior quality. A larger knowledge of
his ancestry and of his previous career will confirm, we have no doubt,
this estimate we make of him. This knowledge will be a source of
delight and inspiration to his numerous descendants.
The following verbatim et literatim extracts are from the several vol-
umes of the Records of the Colony of New Plymouth in Neio England,
edited by Nathaniel B. Shurtleff, M.D. and printed by the Common-
wealth of Massachusetts in 1855. These extracts comprise all
references of importance to John Doane found in the Colony
records. The notes are information and explanations drawn from
various sources, some of which sources are noted. In many cases
we suppose there are reasons for debate, but this has not been
entered upon. The purpose of these extracts and notes is to show
the career in Plymouth of Deacon John Doane, not to show a man
above his fellows, but a strong man among strong men.

[Oct. 28, 1633] At this Court John Done presented an inventory
of the goods and chattels of Martha Harding deceased, who in be-
half of her son was allowed the administracon of the said Martha.
—Ply. Col. Rec. Vol. i, p. 18.
Note. The widow Martha Harding was taxed in Plymouth in 1632, and
was living there in March, 1633. It has been suggested that she was a sister
of Mr. John Doane. Martha Harding's inventory was presented Oct. 28,
1633. It states that she died without will, leaving a son in the custody of
Mr. John Done, in behalf of whom Mr. Done is allowed to administer. Her
estate amounted to £20. 18.e6. Her debts to £33.981. John Done charges
her estate with £9. 9.8 1 money lent to, or paid out for Martha Harding.
Phoebe Harding married John Brown, Jr., of Duxbury, Mar. 26, 1634.
Winnifred Harding married Thomas Whitten in 1639. John Harding was
probably the "Capt. Harding" sent to treat with the Narragansetts m!645.
In 1652, Joseph Harding of Eastham was presented to the Grand Enquest,
" for carrying an Indian's gun into the smith's to bee mended in his uncle's
name." Would John Doane have paid out over nine pounds for the widow
Harding, if she was not a relative? Unless a relative, would Martha Hard-
ing have left a son to the custody of John Doane when she evidently had
other children in Plymouth grown to manhood and womanhood?
[Nov. 11, 1C33] It was ordered that whereas Peter Browne died
without will, leaving divers children by divers wives, his estate
amounting to an hundred pounds or thereabouts it is ordered that
Mary his wife who is allowed the administracion of the said Peter,
forwith pay downe fifteen pownds for the use of Mary Browne, daugh-
ter of the said Peter, to Mr. Joh Done of Plymoth aforesaid wtu
whom the said Court have placed the said Mary for nine yeeares ; at
the end whereof the said John is to make good the said fifteen pownds
to her or her heires, if in case she die.— Ply. Col. Rec. Vol. i, p. 18.

shee should accomplish the age of seventeene yeares, and should have
the use of the said p'con until then. Now the said teruie oeing ex-
pired the said John Doane hath deliverd wth the consent of the said
Mary Browne, and by order of the Court, unto John Browne of Dux-
borrow two cowes, two cowes at xii11 and forty shillings in swyne
and wheate and is by the Court discharged of the said xv11, and the
said John Browne is to keep the said two cowes and their encrease
for their milk wth the rest of the stock as aforesd untill the said Mary
shall be marryed or thought fitt to marry, whereunto the said Mary
hath consented.— Ply. Col. Bee. Vol. n, p. 76.
Note. Peter Browne came in the Mayflower in 1620. He deceased before
Oct. 10, 1633. His last wife was Mary who administered upon his estate.
The daughter Mary who for eleven years was under the guardianship of
John Done, in 1644 chose her uncle John Browne of Duxbury as her guar-
dian. The daughter Priscilla was under the guardianship of Wm. Gilson
and likewise chose her uncle John Browne, in 1644, as her guardian.— Vide
N. E. Hist, and Geneal. Eegister, 1883 : p. 276.
[Nov. 11, 1633] At this Court Phineas Prat appointed to take
into his possession all the goods & chattels of Godbert Godbertson
& Sarah his wife & safley to preserve them according to an inven-
tory upon oath to be true and just by Mr. John Done & Mr. Steph.
Hopkins.— Ply. Col. Bee. Vol. i, p. 19.
[Feb. 14, 1633-4] Joh Coomb, gent, hath sold unto Joh Done
& his heires forever a dwelling howse & misted wtb the inclosure &
out howsiug thereunto belonging next adjoining to the late dwelling
howse of Godbert Godbertson on the West side thereof & the herring
wire on the est. for & in consideracon of nine pownds, ten shillings,
whereof eight pownds to be paid to Mr. Will. Bradford & the other
thirty shillings to Josias Wynslow.— Ply. Col. Bee. Vol. i, p. 25.
Note. Godbert Godbertson, who was fromLeyden, came to Plymouth in
1623. He contracted marriage with Sarah, a sister of Isaac Allerton, was
in full communion, says Winslow, with the purposes of this English com-
pany in Holland and New England. He died in 1633. The estate in 1633
was appraised by Mr. John Done and Mr. Stephen Hopkins. It is possible
that Sarah the wife of Godbertson had been the widow of John Vincent
and of Degory Priest and that her daughters Mary and Sarah, who became
the wives of John Coombs and Phineas Pratt, were daughters of Degory
Priest. It would appear that the estate of Godbert Godbertson and wife
Sarah was much involved. The same date on which John Done was ap-
pointed an appraiser of the personal effects of the family in possession of
Phineas Pratt, he—John Done— bought of John Coombs house and land
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 7
adjoining the homestead of Godbertson. The estate of Godbertson may
have largely belonged to his wife Sarah and possibly it was really the rem-
nants of the estate of Degory Priest. It is a debated question whether
John Coombs and Phineas Pratt married daughters of Degory Priest.
They certainly were the daughters of Sarah, the wife of Godbert Godbert-
son. The families were all highly connected, but have afforded several
genealogical puzzles.
[January 2, 1633-34] At this Court Mr. John Done being for-
merly chosen to the office of a deacon in the Church at the request of
the Church & himselfe was freed from the office of an Assistant in
the ComonWe&le.—Ply.Col. Bec.Voh i, p. 23.
Note. John Doane preferred to be a Deacon in the Church rather than
an Assistant to the Governor in the affairs of the Colony. His position
would suggest that he deemed the offices inconsistent one with the other.
The question of the day was "separation" and "independence;" hence we
can slightly appreciate his course of thought in deciding. Nevertheless, Mr.
Doane, henceforth, was frequently summoned to act upon committees for
the welfare of the community.
Note. The Plymouth policy of separating Church and State was this
year illustrated in the case of John Doane, who, having been elected and
ordained deacon, was for that reason voluntarily discharged as one of the
Governor's Council. — Goodwin's Pilgrim Republic, p. 376.
Note. In 1633 a fever carried off Thomas Blossom and Richard Master-
son of the late comers. They were deacons of the church at Plymouth.
Their offices were filled by Wm.:Paddy and John Doane, also recent comers.

8 THE DOANE FAMILY.
Note. Stephen Deane, who came in the Fortune in 1621, was a miller. In
1632, he desired "to sett up a water-worke to beat corn." In this he was en.
couraged. He deceased in Sept., 1634. In July. 1635, John Doane was one
of a committee to build a mill. The project of a public mill was futile, for
in March, 1636, John Jenny was given liberty to build the mill which was
operated by him and his son for more than forty years.
[Mar. 1, 1635-36] It was ordered that Mr. John Done, John
Jenny, Manasseh Kempton, Josuah Pratt, John Winslow, Edw.
Bangs & Stephen Tracy be added to the Govr & Assistants for the
ceasing of men for the publick charge of this first present year.

Note. In 1636, Elder Brewster, Pastor Smith and Deacons Doane and
Jenney of Plymouth, Jonathan Brewster and Christopher Wads worth of
Duxbury, James Cudworth and Anthony Annable of Scituate were joined to
the Governor and Council for the preparation of a regular system of laws.
They began with the declaration of the Mayflower Compact, &c. Until now,
1636, there was no law establishing the offices of Governor, Councillors or
Constables. By general consent, for fifteen years, they were chosen annu-
ally.— Goodwin's Pilgrim Republic, p. 401.
Note. They assembled according to the Order and having read the com-
bination made at Cape Cod the 11th of Nov., 1620, on board of the Mayflower,
they performed the important work for which they were appointed. This
was the first revision of the laws of the Colony ; and to be appointed one of
the Committee for this work was a mark of distinction showing that Deacon
Doane was respected for his wisdom and integrity. — Pratt's Hist, of Eastham,
p. 16.

— Ply. Col. Bee. Vol. i, p. 40.
[June 7, 1636] John Done, yeoman entreth an acco of slander
& layeth it in an 100,b against Helin Billington widow. — Ply. Col.
Bee. Vol. i, p. 41.
At this Court an action of slander was tried between John Done,
plaintift'e & Helin Billington defendant wherein the defend1 was cast
in five pownds starling to the plaintife and adjudged to be sett in the
stocks and whipt. — Ply. Col. Bee. Vol. i, p. 42.
Note. Billington's name seemed for a time to be one of ill-omen. His
widow succeeded to his farm at Plain Dealing (two miles North of Plymouth
Rock), and for her cattle, was, in 1636, authorized by the Court to mow the
adjacent grass; but " what is too much for her" was to go to Deacon John
Doane. A controversy ensued, doubtless as to this " too much," and the

deacon charging the dame with slander sned for £10 damages. The Court
gave the complainant nothing; but evidently finding slander very flagrant
sentenced the defendant to a fine of £5, to sit in the stocks and to be publickly
whipped. — Goodwin's Pilgrim Bepublic, p. 343.
Note. Nov. 25, 1633, Mr. Thomas Prence and Mr. John Doane were ap-
praisers upon the estate of Francis Eaton. The last wife of Francis Eaton
was Christian Penn, who afterwards became the wife of Francis Billington.
[Dec. 30, 1636] Whereas the now dwelling howse with all & sin-
gular the outhousing, lands & enclosures in the use & occupacon of
John Done of Plymouth, neere unto Playne Dealing, were in p't'ner-
ship between the said John Done & John Atwood, late of London,
Gent. : Now know ye that upon accounts between the said Joh, &
John, the said John Atwoocl for & in consideracon of three score
pownds, hath bought out the said John Done, his heires & assignes so
that it remayneth wholly to the said John Atwood & his heires for-
ever.— Ply. Col. Bee. Vol. i, p. 47.
Note. John Atwood died abt. 1644. He came over from London about
1635, and at once assumed a prominent place in the affairs of Plymouth. He
was an Assistant to the Governor in 1638 and was Deputy for Plymouth from
1G41 to his death.
He was treasurer of the Colony in 1641. He resided near the " Rock " in
a house which he purchased of Governor Prence. His widow Ann removed
to Boston. She deceased June 1, 1654. Wm. Crowe was a nephew and
Robert and Mary Lee were kinsmen. Both Mr. and Mrs. Atwood left wills.
John Atwood was prominent aud wealthy. At times he was called John
Wood. His Plymouth estate was sold to Benjamin Vermayes who married
Mercy, dau. of Gov. Bradford. The scales of widow Ann Atwood were
declared by the General Court to be " standard." In 1641, Mr. Atwood was
the agent of James Sherley of London. Mr. Sherley was ever actively
promoting the interests of the people of Plymouth. In 1624 he made a gift
to Plymouth and also in 1638.
Note. Several are the instances where the names of John Atwood and
John Doane are associated. They had dealings with each other more than
two years before the coming of John Atwood from London about 1635, and
it maybe that their partnership reached farther than the joint ownership of
a houselot in Plymouth. Perhaps Mr. Doane was a partner in business in
London with John Atwood. Mr. John Doane and Mr. John Atwood were
partners in a dwelling house and enclosures near unto Playne Dealing in
Plymouth previous to Dec. 30, 1636, not long after Mr. Atwood's arrival from
London. These references which seemingly unite them are strong sugges-
tions not only of partnership in Plymouth, but likewise before either of them
ventured to the Plymouth Colony. In 1636, Mr. Atwood purchased the por-
tion of Mr. Doane by the payment of three score pounds. They had further
dealings with each other, and June 2, 1639, John Doane promised at the
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 11
Court of Assistants to pay John Atwood the sum of £3.17B sterling within
a year and Mr. Atwood promised to forbear until that time.
[Mar. 7, 1636-7] Concerning the trade of beaver, corne & beads,
&c. wth the Indians, it is agreed by the consent of the Court, that
they that now have yt shall hold yt untill the next Court the be-
gining of June ; and then further conference to be had for the
mannageing thereof, that such further course may be taken therein as
shalbe thought fitt. And in the meane season Mr. Hopkins, Mr.
Atwood, Mr. Done & Jonathan Brewster shalbe added to the Gouvr
and Assistants to advise upon such p'p'ositions and wayes so as the
said trade may be still continued to the benefit of the Collony. — Ply.
Col. Rec. Vol. i, p. 54.
[June 22, 1637] John Done of Plym. Gent. Suritie for Thomas
Butler of Ducksborrow. — Ply. Col. Rec. Vol. i, p. 63.
Note. Thomas Butler removed from Duxbury to Sandwich in 1640, and
returned to Duxbury before 1657. He may have been of Lynn before 1637.
Just why Mr. Doane was surety for him is not known. He may have been
one of his workmen.
[Oct. 2, 1637] Seaven acrees of land are graunted to William
Hodgkinson upon the north side of Winslows Walk towards the
Cedar Swamp where Mr. Atwood &Mr. Done have lands. — Ply. Col.
Rec. Vol. i, p. 66.
[Oct. 2, 1637] Ten acres graunted to Mr. John Done in the same
place (Playne Dealing) northward from Winslowes Walk toward the
Cedar Swamp to belong to his house at Plymouthe & to be therewth
all used and not sold from it. — Ply. Col. Rec. Vol. i, p. 65.
Note. Deacon John Doane had frequent grants of land from Court,
which must have been because of his many services in behalf of the Colony.
He was continually rendering services as Deputy from Plymouth or Eastham
and serving on Committees where interests were at stake and on the Grand
Jury. His original grant at Eastham was because he was one of the " Pur-
chasers "or "Old Comers;" but his various grants at Jones River, now
Kingston, at Rehoboth, to the north of Taunton, etc. etc., were undoubtedly
because of his many public services.
Note. "Playne Dealing," where some of the land of John Doane was
situated, was at "Seaside" in northern part of the present Plymouth. Wins-
lows "Walk" (obsolete word for pasture) was in this vicinity also, near
High Cliff. "Doane's Field," mentioned in many records, is that tract em-
braced largely by the Plymouth Cemetery Association.
[Sept. 14, 1637] Mathew Osborne by his indenture beareing date
12 THE DOANE FAMILY.
the third day of May in the xiii year of his Maties now raigne &c.
hath bound himself apprentice to John Read of Wayinouth, for the
terme of six yeares next after the date of the said indenture wth divers
other covenants on both pts to ptormed contained & expressed in
the said indenture. Now the said John Read for and in consideracon
of the sume of eight pounds to him in hand payd by John Done of New
Plymouth hath with and by the consent of the sd Mathew Osborne
put him over to the said John Done, to serve all the residue of his
tyme according to the sa indenture. — Ply. Col. Bee. Vol. i, p. 65.
Note. Matthew Osborne was probably a son of John Osborne of Wey-
mouth. He deceased in 1641 at Weymouth. His age was not stated, but he
was probably a man grown as many of the "indentured" men, indentured
themselves to men of means who had employment, for the purpose of pay
ing their passage across tbe ocean or of working out some indebtedness
caused by misfortune or loss in business.
[June 4, 1639] Mr. John Done is allowed to draw wine until the
next Court.— Ply. Col. Bee. Vol. i, p. 127.
[June 2, 1640] Also we p'sent Mr. Done for selling wine con-
trary to order made by Court. It was mistaken by the grand inquest
and so he was discharged by the Court the 3rd Septembr 1640, and
appoynted by the Court to be thus rased out.— Ply. Col. Bee. Vol. i,
p. 156.
[Jan. 7, 1644-5] Whereas Mr. John Done is ly censed to draw
wyne in Plymouth, and that James Cole is likewise lycensed to keepe
the ordinarj7 there wcb is very inconvenyent to many persons, the
Court hath therefore lycensed the said James Cole from this day
foward to draw wyne if he shall agree wth Mr. Done to take off those
wynes hee now hath in his hands. Agreement was after made be-
twixt them.— Ply. Col. Bee. Vol. n, pp. 79, 80.
[Sept. 7, 1641] Mr. John Done, Mr. Willm Paddy & Nathaniell
Sowther are appoynted by the Court to view James Luxfords bookes
and to certify the Court what they find therein. — Ply. Col. Bee. Vol.
ii, p. 24.
Note. James Luxford ran an unsavory course during his years in New
England. He was of Cambridge and of Duxbury. He may or may not have
deceased when the committee " viewed " the " books."
[Mar. 3, 1644-45] It is ordered that Mr. Miles Standish, Mr.
John Done & John Dunhame shall take the accounts of Mr. Thomas
Prence for his treasurership of its receipts and payments and certefye
the Court thereof.— Ply. Col. Bee. Vol. n, p. 82.
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 13
Note. Governor Prence served the Plymouth Colony in many capacities.
In his removal to Eastham it was his wish to retire as much as possible from
public service. The above auditorship may have been an annual affair, but
appears to have been the closing of his service as treasurer.
Note. Kev. Ralph Smith came to New England in 1628. In 1629 he set-
tled in Plymouth where he was pastor until 1636. From 1631 to 1634 Rev.
Roger Williams was his assistant. Mr. Smith resigned in 1636, but con-
tinued to reside in Plymouth until 1642 when he removed to Manchester to
be the minister of the church there. He died in Boston in 1661. When he
removed from Plymouth, John Doane as agent for the church at Plymouth
gave him six score pounds for his house, buildings and garden plot together
with six acres in the " Newfield," and every other right he may have in Ply-
mouth. This home of the pastor was soon deeded by Deacon John Doane to
Rev. John Reyner, who served as minister at Plymouth eighteen years. Rev.
Mr. Reyner began his pastorate about 1636 and removed to Dover, N. H., in
1644 where he died in 1669.
Note. In the list of one hundred and forty-seven in all between the ages
of 16 and 60 years, able to bear arms in Aug., 1643, are the following who
have the honorable prefix of " Mr." attached to their names. There were
others resident in Plymouth who at this time were not able to bear arms.
William Hanbury William Bradford
John Atwood Thomas Prence
John Done John Reynor
William Paddy
[Sept. 27, 1642] Mr. Prence, Mr. Done, Mr. Paddy, Mr. Jenny
and Joshua Pratt are appointed to lay forth all the lands above
graunted. — Ply. Col. Mec. Vol. n, p. 48.
About this time there was a desire on the part of many in Plymouth
to take up new lands. The new charter had given three parcels of
land into the hands of the " Old Comers," and these people were on
the lookout, for land which could be more profitably cultivated.
Nauset or Eastham was one of the three tracts reserved to the "Pur-
chasers," on the transfer of the Warwick Patent to the Colonists in
1641. Affairs at Plymouth had not been prospering as formerly.
There was not sufficient upland. There was without doubt a slight
division in the Church, which made those persons of similar minds
and ambitions to think of removal to Nauset.
In 1644 the movement towards the new settlement at Nauset began,
but the final removal was in 1645. The leaders in the enterprise were
Ex Governor Thomas Prence, Deacon John Doane, Nicholas Snow,
Josiah Cooke, Richard Higgins, John Smalley (Small) and Edward
Bangs.
14 THE DOANE FAMILY.
The fortunes at Plymouth were even at a lower ebb after this emi-
gration. Strong men in Plymouth had already deceased, such as
Brewster, Atwood, Hopkins and Jenny and now the removal of other
strong leaders brought double discouragement to the hearts of the
Pilgrims. Bradford and Howland still remained, but they were aged.
Bradford, in his wonderful history says : "Thus was this poor church
left like an ancient mother grown old and forsaken of her children
(though not in their affections), until she had made mauy rich became
herself poor."

136.
The value of the homestead of John Doane at Plymouth does not
betray affluence. On removing to Nauset he sold his homestead for
£10. Perhaps his business ventures in common with others had not
been successful. This was doubtless a large reason for his fresh
adventure at Nauset when he was fifty-five years old. But rich or
poor his wisdom and counsel were ever sought and respected.
The territory of Nauset, purchased of the Indians, for which they
paid "moose skins, Indian boats, wampum and little knives," em-
braced the greater part of the present town of Orleans, Eastham and
Wellfleet. The deed from the Indians confirmatory of the purchase,
was given Nov. 9, 1666. Nauset is an Indian name, and was ap-
plied by the Aborigines to a particular locality in the present town
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 15
of Eastham. Our forefathers gave the name to the whole purchase,
and so it was called until 1651, when the Court at Plymouth promul-
gated an order that henceforth Nauset should be called Eastham.
Deacon Doane settled on the north of Town Cove. The early
records do not show the amount of land laid out to him at the time
of the settlement. The History of Eastham says: "He took pos-
session of about two hundred acres, and his house stood near the
water." At various times after he became a resident of Eastham he
had land granted him by the Court as well as by the town. It is
claimed that stone posts bearing his initials, and marking the bound-
aries of his large farm were standing as late as 1844.
In Eastham town affairs John Doane was an important man. He
was appointed by the Court June 1, 1663, to solemnize marriages and
to administer oaths to witnesses. He was a deacon of the First
Church there and served the town as selectman for many years. In
1649, 1650, 1651, 1653 and 1659 he was a Deputy to the Colony
Court for Eastham as he had been in 1642 and 1643 for the town of
Plymouth.
On Dec. 2, 1681, John Doane conveyed by deed, in which he is
styled "Gent., Tayler," his Eastham homestead to his daughter
Abigail as appears by the following extract from Ply. Col. Eec.
Vol. 5 of Deeds, p. 89 :
"To all people to whom these prsents shall come. Greeting. Know
yee thatt I, John Doane, Gent. Tayler of the Towne of Eastham in the
Jurisdiction of New Plymouth in New England in America, for clivers con-
siderations, mee thereunto mouving, and especially for that love and naturall
affection, which I bear to my daughter Abigaill Doane; hath freely, fully
and absolutely given, granted infeoffed and confirmed; and by these prsents,
cloth give, graunt, enfeoffe and confirm unto my said daughter Abigaill
Doane of the Towne and Jurisdiction aforesaid ; to her and her heires,
executors, administrators and assignee, forever, my dwelling house with
all the upland and meddow about the said house ; The land being'-by estima-
tion twelve acrees, more or less, and two acrees of meddow, be it more or
lesse, in a place comonly called the acrees, or the Comon Cove in the boate
meddow ; The said house land and meddow is sittuated and being in the
Towne shipp of Eastham; with all and singular the appurtenances to the said
given prmises, or any yte or prsell of them forever" etc.
In his will dated May 18, 1678, Mr. Doane declares his age
"eighty-eight years or thereabouts." If his own statement is cor-
rect he was born not far from 1590. He died Feb. 21, 1685, aged
about ninety-five years. His inventory taken by his neighbors
16 THE DOANE FAMILY.
Joseph Snow and Joshua Hangs, says "aged about 100 years." His
wife's name appears as Abigail. They were undoubtedly interred in
the old cemetery at Eastham, the first burial ground of the town.
On Sept. 10, 1869, a Doane Family memorial meeting was held at
Eastham to witness the erection of a granite post on the site of
Deacon John Doane's house. This site is on the eastern side of the
town, perhaps three hundred yards from the waters of Nauset Bay
extending to the south, about one-half mile from the Atlantic shore
and two and one- half miles from Barnstable Bay on the west. The
old cellar now overgrown with wild grass is in a field of about fifteen
acres, owned by Mr. Benjamin Higgins. The stone, a rough block
of granite, was erected by the Hon. John Doane of Orleans (291) on
which occasion an historical address was delivered by Heman Doane,
Esq. (319) followed by the singing of an original hymn.
The following is a copy of all documents in the settlement of John
Doane's estate found in the Registry of Probate at Barnstable, Mass.

SECOND GENERATION.
2 LYDIA2 DOANE (John1) was born probably before her
parents came to Plymouth. She married Sept. 11, 1645, Samuel Hicks
who came over to Plymouth with his mother, younger brother and
sisters, in the Ann, in 1623. His father, Robert Hicks, came over
in the Fortune, in 1621, and was one of the foremost of the Pilgrim
fathers. Samuel Hicks seems to have been a man of standing. He
was in Plymouth in 1639, when he bought his father's house, out-houses
and garden-plot, with two cows, and lands on the north and south
sides of the town. He was admitted a freeman Mar. 1, 1641-2 and
contributed one-sixteenth part of the money to build a barque of
forty or fifty tons, costing £200. He was among the first who went
to Nauset, or Eastham, after the settlement commenced. He was
constable there in 1646, and represented the town in the Colony Court
in 1647, and again in 1649 with his father-in-law Deacon John Doane.
He returned to Plymouth, where two of their children were born, and
was a constable in that town in 1654. He was sometime an inhab-
itant of Barnstable. Mr. Otis says, he was admitted an inhabitant
there Oct. 3, 1662, but had then resided in the town several years.
In 1661, there was " a difference" between Samuel Hicks and his
mother, about the will of his father Robert and it was agreed that
Samuel should pay his mother ten pounds, and leave " the winescot
bedstead and the table in the hall to remain in the house as now it
stands," the house to revert to Samuel at his mother's decease.
He removed to Dartmouth where his father had been interested in
some landed estate. In 1666 an Indian named " Daniell " was ex-
amined before the court for striking Samuel Hicks, of Acushna or
Dartmouth " so that he languisheth and hath been in danger of
death." The Indian confessed that he " struck or punched Hicks
with an axe or the haft of it," but claimed that Hicks first struck
him. After a hearing Daniell was fined four pounds and four shil-
lings for bill of charges, and forty shillings for loss of Hicks time,
and ten shillings to JohnHaward forgoing to Plymouth as a witness.
(19)
20 THE DOANE FAMILY.
On June 5, 1667, Samuel Hicks was one of the selectmen and a
Receiver of Excise for Dartmouth. He was in the list of freemen
there in 1670, and a deputy to the Colony Court. No record appears
of the deaths of Samuel and Lydia Hicks. They had at least seven
children, two of whom, Dorcas born Feb. 14, 1652 and Margaret
born Mar. 9, 1654, were born in Plymouth. Davis says, there was
a son Samuel born in 1651 and Austin's Dictionary of Rhode Island
Families gives a son Thomas, a carpenter of Dartmouth, Mass., and
Portsmouth, R. I., who married Mary, daughter of John and Dorothy
Albro. Margaret Hicks' will, dated July 8, 1655, bequeaths to her
son Samuel and his family as follows :
I give unto my son Samuell hickes five pounds; Item I give unto my
daughter in law Lydia Mckes thirty shillings. Item I give unto my son
Samuells children ten shillings apiece ; there being seven of them ; all the
above said legacyes my will is shall bee payed by that which is oweing to
mee from my above said son Samuel hickes which debt is ten pounds Really
and truly oweing to mee from my said son ; the above said legacyes being

3 ABIGAIL2 DOANE (John1) was born at Plymouth, Jan. 18,
1631-2 and died at Norwich, Conn., Jan. 23, 1734-5. She married,
in 1690, Samuel, born in England about 1620, second son of Rev.
John Lothrop.*
She went with her father's family in 1645 from Plymouth to Nauset,
or Eastham, where she lived about forty-five years. From entries in
Eastham town records, it is inferred that she was, to some extent,
engaged in business. Her name appears several times on Eastham
records as the owner of horses.
May 6, 1672, sold and delivered according to a Court Order by
Abigail Doane, to an Indian called Moses, one bay horse, ear marked
two slits, a star in the forehead, a little white streak over the left
nostril, burn marked E on the near buttock. — Eastham town record.
* Rev. John Lothrop was the minister at Edgerton, Kent, England, but removed to
London in 1624 and was pastor of a Congregational church. The Archbishop caused the
arrest of himself and forty -three members of the church Apr. 29, 1632, and most of them
were imprisoned for two years for the simple offence of practising the teachings of the
New Testament. His first wife died while he was in prison. He, and some others, were
released on condition of leaving the country, and came to New England.
He arrived with his family Sept. 18, 1634, and soon after organized a church at Scituate—
" so many of us as had been in the covenant before " are his words. A few years later
he removed, with the principal part of the church, to found the town and church at
Barnstable.— Pope's Pioneers of Massachusetts.
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 21
Samuel Lothrop was married, first, by his father, at Barnstable
Nov. 28, 1644, to Miss Elizabeth Scudder, of whose death there is no
record. He was a house carpenter by trade, combining with it ex-
tensive farming operations. In 1648 he went to New London, then
called Pequot, where he built the " Second Church " and held posi-
tions of responsibility and honor. In 1649 the General Court
organized a local court at Pequot and Samuel Lothrop was one of
the judges. In 1668 he removed to Norwich, where he is recorded
as " Constable " and " Townsman," and where he died Feb. 29, 1700,
leaving the widow Abigail who survived him many years.
On the one hundredth anniversary of her birth, an audience of her
neighbors and church people assembled in her rooms at Norwich,
where a sermon was preached by her pastor, the Rev. Benjamin Lord.
At this time, it is claimed, she retained to a remarkable degree the
intelligence and vivacity of her earlier years.
She was buried in the old Town Burial Ground near the Congrega-
tional church in Norwich, a stone with the following inscription
marking her grave :
Here Lyes Interred ye Remains of Mrs. Abigail Lothrop
ye Relict of Mr. Samuel Lothrop Of Norwich
Born At Plymouth Ano 1631 & Lived in Norwich
43 Years And Dyed January 23d AnoD 1734"5 In
ye 104Th Year Of Her Age.
Caulkins' History of New London gives the following notice of her
death, copied from the New England Weekly Journal:
Mrs. Abigail Lothrop died at Norwich, Jan. 23, 1735, in her 104th
year. Her father John Doane and his wife came to Plymouth in
1630, and there she was born the next year. She lived single till she
was sixty years old and then married Mr. John (Samuel) Lothrop of
Norwich, who lived ten years and then died.
4 JOHN2 DOANE, Jr. (John1) was born probably at Plymouth
about 1635 and died atEastham, Mar. 15, 1708, aged about 73 years.
He married, first, Apr. 30, 1662, Hannah, daughter of Edward
Bangs, who came over to Plymouth in the Ann in July, 1623. She
was born at Plymouth, about 1644, and was living at Eastham in
1677, then being named in her father's will. Married, second, Jan.
14, 1694, Rebecca Pettee, whom he outlived.
Mr. Doane went with his father's family from Plymouth to Nauset,
22 THE DOANE FAMILY.
or Eastham, in 1645. He was a man of prominence in Eastham, and
for many years was in the public service. He was a selectman al-
most every year from 1678 to 1700. He often served as a juror, and
was the constable of Eastham in 1661 and 1693. In 1701 and 1702
he was one of the Negative Men. In 1664 he was appointed one of
the Receivers of Excise for Eastham. In 1668 he was of the Grand
Inquest and in 1669 he was a Justice of the Select Court. He rep-
resented his town in the Colony Court in 1684 and 1685, and in the
General Court at Boston in 1693, 1694 and 1702. He was a large
landholder and was quite extensively engaged in farming. It is un-
derstood that his homestead was near that of his father. Mr. Doane
was of the same religious faith as his father, and a member of the
First Church of Eastham. He doubtless was buried in the old Town
Cove burial ground.

5 DANIEL2 DOANE (John1) was born probably at Plymouth,
about 1636, and died at Eastham, Dec. 20, 1712, iu the seventy-sixth
year of his age. He was twice married. Nothing is known of his
first wife. The marriage is not recorded on Eastham records. She
doubtless was the mother of all the children, except the daughter
Hepzibah. His second wife, whom he married after July 28, 1682,
was Hepzibah Crisp, widow of George Crisp,* and daughter of
Daniel and Mary Cole of Eastham. She was many years his junior,
and survived him.
Mr. Doane went from Plymouth to Eastham with his father's
family, in 1645. He settled in that part of Eastham now known as
East Orleans, near where Mr. Joseph Taylor now resides. He was
a prominent man in the affairs of the town and church. He was a
selectman each year from 1691 to 1696 ; a juryman in 1677, 1686,
1687, 1689 ; a surveyor of highways in 1667, 1673, 1699, 1700,
1704. He was a deacon of the First church for many years, proba-
bly succeeding his father Dea. John Doane. He'was an extensive
landholder, the Eastham records showing many grants to him, near-
ly all of which were within the limits of the present town of Orleans.
One of his children, evidently the eldest, was accidentally drowned
in a well at Eastham, and an investigating jury was impanelled
Sept. 22, 1667. Dea. Daniel Doane was buried in the old Town
Cove burial ground where a small slatestone still legible marks his
grave, and bears this inscription :

* George Crisp was a resident of Eastham, that part called PocLey, now East Orleans,
and was a constable there in 1650; a grand juror in 1672 and 1678. His first wife, Mary,
d. Feb. 20, 1676, and he m. 2nd, May 24, 1677, Hepzibah, dan. of Daniel and Mary Cole

and my friend and neighbour Goodman daniell done, be healpful to my wife as over-
seers."

and died at Eastham in 1703, widow of John2 Snow (Nicholas1), and
the daughter of John and Ann (Walden) Smalley.
Ephraim Doane does not appear to have been prominent either in
town or church affairs. Only a little of his life can be gleaned from
the public records.
On March 3, 1662-3, he and three others were fined twenty-five
shillings each, for trading of liquor with the Indians, and he and
Thomas Ridman were fined fifty shillings each, for permitting the
Indians to have liquor in their boats, " it appearing that one of the
Indians was drunk thereby." Oct. 29, 1669, he was before the court
for " horribly slandering and belying his neighbours" at Eastham
and was fined " the sume of twenty shillings for telling two lyes
about the same." June 6, 1678, he was again before the court to
answer to the complaint of " Jawannum, late wife of James Pequin
of Billingsgate, as suspected by her and Nicholas, to have been an
occasion of the violent death of the said Pequin, her husband."
He settled within the limits of Eastham. He took the oath of fi-
delity before Mr. Freeman in 1670, and was admitted a freeman
June 5, 1684. His name appears in Truro June 17, 1690, and is in
a list of the legal inhabitants of Eastham in 1695. He was a sur-
veyor of highways in Eastham in 1691 and again in 1692. He made
his will Dec. 17, 1699, and desires his wife's children, by her former
husband, John Snow, of whom there were nine, to share equally
with his own children, after the decease of his wife Mary.
The wili of Ephraim Doane, proved Apr. 19, 1700.

in 1794 and was living in 1796, when she sold house and land on the
corner of School St., Boston, to her son-in-law David Stoddard
Greenough.
John Doane settled, first, in Wellfleet, then Billingsgate, on a portion
of his father's estate. Pratt's History of Eastham says he was there
before 1700, and that he held a distinguished rank in the town. An
old document of 1727 mentions him as " a principal Inhabitant of this
Precinct." As early as 1696, he and his wife Hannah were living in
Boston in Ward 7, when in a deed he is styled " Distiller," and where
on Mar. 5th of that year, his son Joshua was born. After the death
of his wife in 1731 he removed to Hull, where he was an important
man in town and church affairs, and seems to have lived there from
about 1732 to 1742. He then removed to Boston where he owned a
large estate, and resided there until his death.
From the Suffolk Registry of Deeds we note the following :
Mar. 3, 1694, John Doane of Eastham purchased of the heirs of
Edward Tyng for £370 land and dwelling-house in Boston. Aug.
17, 1717, John Doane of Eastham bought of Wigglesworth Sweetzer
for £260 a brick and wooden house with land and wharf on Butler's
Row. From 1727 to 1729, he bought lands and houses on School St.
from the heirs of Samuel Haugh, goldsmith. Apr. 3, 1738, John
Doane of Hull bought of John Marshall for £2,750 land and wharf
fronting on Mackeral Lane (Kilby St.). Aug. 6, 1741, John Doane
of Hull, for £1,200, bought from heirs of James Gooch lands near
King St. (State St.).
John Doane was commissioned a Justice of Peace for Barnstable
Co. June 5, 1713, and was in commission there until his removal to
Hull. In 1736, he was a Special Justice of the Court of Common
Pleas for Barnstable Co. and, on Mar. 9, 1737-8, he was commissioned
a Justice of Peace for Suffolk Co.
He and his wife Hannah were the leaders of the fifteen or twenty
church members living in the North Precinct, who strongly opposed
the ordination and settlement of Rev. Samuel Osborn as pastor of
the First Church of Eastham in 1718. In the church troubles at
Billingsgate in 1727, they were stanch supporters of their minister,
Rev. Josiah Oakes.
The Boston Evening Post, for Monday, Dec. 1, 1755, has the fol-
lowing notice of Mr. Doane's death :
"Boston, Nov. 27, 1755.
Last Saturday died in the 92nd. Year of his Age and Yesterday was very
decently interred, John Doane Esq. ; who had been many Years in the

Commission of the Peace for the Counties of Barnstable and Suffolk. He
was a Gentleman of great Capacity and known Integrity, a tender Husband,
affectionate Father, and faithful Friend ; and notwithstanding his great Age
he retained his Usefulness, Eeason and Understanding to the last."
Beside the Boston estate, John Doane's possessions at Scituate in-
ventoried £1250. 19. 8. His will, written by his own hand, five days
before his death, and proved Dec. 24, 1755, is as follows:

Mass., May 12, 1668, and died at Canterbury, Conn., Dec. 19, 1758.
She married, Jan. 20, 1685, Elisha Paine, who was born at Eastham
and died at Canterbury, Feb. 7, 1736, the son of Thomas and Mary
(Snow) Paine. His mother was the daughter of Nicholas Snow, who
came over in the Ann, and a granddaughter of Stephen Hopkins, of
the Mayflower. After marriage Elisha and Rebecca Paine settled
first at Eastham, but were in Barnstable in 1689. They returned to
Eastham and resided there until about 1703, when they removed to
that part of Plainfield, now Canterbury, Conn., where he purchased
a tract of five hundred acres of wild land. Here he took an active
part in all public affairs. He was one of the founders of the church
in that town in 1711.
The history of their children, from Paine Family Records, Vol. 2,
is as follows :
Children :
i Abigail,4 b. at Eastham, Jan. 5, 1686; m. J osiah Cleveland.
They united with the first church in 1713. They afterwards
became Separatists. He died before 1765, leaving money
to that church.
ii Abraham,4 bapt. at Barnstable, 1691 ; m. at Canterbury, Dec.
19, 1718, Ruth Adams. They united with the Canterbury
church in 1739. Removed to Amenia, N. Y., about 1748.
iii Elisha,4 b. at Eastham, Dec. 29, 1693. From childhood he was
of an inquiring mind, and showed a great fondness for
study. Choosing the profession of a lawyer he prepared
himself for practice, and became one of the best of his time
in Conn. In 1769 he was King's Attorney, and a Justice
of Peace for Windham Co. From his youth deeply inter-
ested in religious subjects, Elisha Paine received an internal
call to preach the gospel in July, 1742. Presenting himself
in Dec, 1742, before some ministers for examination, he
was recommended to the committee of the association for
a license to preach, but the committee failing to meet, Mr.
Paine at once began his labors as an itinerant preacher, and
threw the great weight of his influence with the New Lights
or Separatists, and became the foremost of the leaders of
that movement in Conn. "Earnest and devoted in piety, bold
and determined in measures, zealous and impassioned in ad-
dress, he was the herald who summoned to the new standard
those who had already revolted from, or who were disaf-
fected in the ranks of the standing order." In Feb., 1743, he
was arrested for preaching without a license and, refusing to
give bonds, was committed to the "dirtiest prison," he says,
"he ever saw and was compelled to beg a broom to sweep a

place to walk in." After his release, May 13, he went on
several preaching tours, and the summer of 1744 visited his
relatives at Eastham, and other towns on his native Cape
Cod. From a letter* to his wife, dated at Chatham it would
appear that his labors there were attended with the great-
est success. Returning to Conn, he was again arrested,
but his conduct was such that his persecutors became
alarmed, and in a few days he was again released. After
many years' labor as an itinerant in Conn., Mr. Paine
became the leader of a church at Bridgehampton, Long
Island, where he was settled May, 1752, and where he died
Aug. 26, 1775, having preached to his beloved flock fifteen
days before his death. He married in Canterbury, Nov.
24, 1720, Mary Johnson and had ten children.
iv Mary,4 b. at Eastham, Feb. 1, 1695 ; m. Apr. 5, 1722, Robert Free-
man, a man of great piety, and moved to Pomfret, Conn.,
where he died Sept. 25, 1755. She m., 2nd, it is under-
stood, Dea. Waldo of Norwich, Conn.

1721 and united with the First Church in Canterbury. In
1741 he became deeply interested and was a leader in the

♦Dear wife and children :
I long to see you, and would write oftner but opportunity fails. I am purposing
every day to come home but dare not leave the Lord's harvest, lest the wild beasts
should devour, and the wild boars should root up what the Lord seems to be doing here
with the greatest power that ever I saw here or I think anywhere. The Lord is doing
wonders in this sandy land but as Christ triumphs Satan rages The Lord hath hitherto
sustained me and delivered me from the rage of the adversary O pray for me and the
cause of dear Jesus The pine woods in Harwich ring hallelujahs and hosannas even
from babes; I never heard the like before ; from little ones from six years old and up-
wards saying "Holy &c" "Hallelujahs &c" God is bringing them in from the hedges
Our relations, the most of them, stand at fa distance Cousin Ebenezer Paine and his
family seem exceedingly opposite except one daughter and her husband I hope are
made to know Christ Uncle Doane and his family seem to be created anew except his
wife The world is full of lies and falsehood is the covering wherewith opposers cover
themselves The Devil hath some very faithful servants in the country that went from
this place that write the most awful letters that were ever writ; and as false as strange
But the, Lord reigns and the saints shout aloud for joy The christians what few were
alive are much quickened and many added to their number since I came down But the
most wonderful shower began on the 28th of June a Colony fast I preached from
Ez. 14. 3 and Rev. 2. 21 After service we sang a hymn I felt the spirit of the Lord come
upon me I rose up and exhorted and persuaded them to come to Christ; and immedi-
ately there was a screeching and groaning all over the multitude and hath since ever
been very powerful Some whole families, I hope, have received Christ and others con-
tinually crying out against their own hearts I hope the Lord will carry on his work in
his way and by his own means If it be his will to keep me here longer let it not grieve
your heart nor alienate your affection from me, for it doth not mine from you and the
children The Lord keeps you all near my heart And I hope you will not cease to pray
for me, for I am in the midst of wolves and dragons; but God is above them all So let
us rest. Amen.

great religious movement in Windham Co. Upon the or-
ganization of the Separate church in Canterbury, he accepted
the call to become the pastor, and was ordained Sept. 10,
1746. He was a "faithful pastor" and was held in high
esteem by all the Separate preachers of his day. He was
equally as determined and unyielding as his older brother
Elisha, but not so able a preacher. He published A Short
View of the Constitution of the Church of Christ and the Dif-
ference between it and the Church Established in Conn. His
1st wife whom he married May 2, 1720, was Sarah Carver.
She d. Aug. 9, 1731, and his 2nd Avife, whom he m. May 31,
1732, was Priscilla Fitch. She d. May 6, 1782. "After
twelve days sickness he fell asleep in the Lord, Oct. 25,
1754," and was buried in Canterbury, where a stone with
inscription marks his grave.

Church in Canterbury, 1731. He became a Separatist and
was ordained, Aug. 3, 1745, pastor of the Separate church
in that part of Rehoboth now Seekonk, R. I. Rev. John
Greenwood, who was then pastor of the First Church,
strongly opposed the ordination, and sent a letter to the
ordination council, which was pointedly answered by Mr.
Elisha Paine, Aug. 10, 1748. Rev. John Paine was a mem-
ber of the council convened at Harwich, Cape Cod, in 1749,
to ordain Joshua Nickerson pastor of the Separate church
there, and gave the right hand of fellowship. He was a
rigid disciplinarian, and before long many of his members
refused to allow him to enter their houses "to administer."
In consequence a council was convened at Rehoboth May
8, 1751, which declared, "that John Paine, pastor, has ful-
filled his pastoral charge over this church, and has shut all
their doors against his administration in their houses, so
that he is dismissed from his relation to them, and we give
him the right hand of fellowship as a faithful minister of
Christ, and to minister wherever God shall call him." He

of Mrs. Holbrook in Gorham, says that Margaret was held
to be a witch. Her witchwork, however, seemed to consist
only in tangling the warp in her neighbors' looms. Ch.

11 DAVID3 DOANE (John,2 John') was born probably at
46 THE DOANE FAMILY.
Eastham, Mass., about 1674 and died there Nov. 18, 1748. Evidently
he was the youngest of his father's family. His birth is not recorded
on Eastham records, but he is named with the other children in his
father's will. He married Sept. 30, 1701, Dorothy Horton, and in his
will in 1738 names his wife Sarah. Dorothy was a sister of Samuel
Horton, who was in Eastham before 1700, and who appears as a
witness to David Doane's will.
Mr. Doane succeeded to his father's homestead, which is still pointed
out near the site of the house of Dea. John Doane. He is ou East-
ham records as a juryman in 1708-9, 1713, 1714-15, 1719-20, 1728,
1730 and as a constable in 1711-12.
Beside his occupation of farming it is understood that he was a
physician. In his will he calls himself yeoman, while his inventory
and gravestone inscription style him doctor. It is not presumed
that he held a college diploma. In his day, common sense and good
judgment carried greater merit than college titles or conferred honors.
That he had some knowledge of medicine, however, and an extensive
and lucrative practice in Eastham is evident.
He was buried in the old Town Cove burial ground, near the fence
by the public road and a small slatestone with the following inscrip-
tion still marks his grave :

A division of David Doane's estate was ordered Mar. 18, 1750-1
and Ebenezer Higgins was appointed by the court to represent, in
the division, the sons Joshua and Nathan, " they being out of the
Province and so cant attend."

DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 49
12 JOSEPH3 DOANE (Daniel,2 John,1) was bom at Eastham,
Mass., June 27, 1669 and died there July 27, 1757. He married, first,
Jan. 8, 1690, Mary Godfrey, born June 2, 1672, and died at Eastham,
Jan. 22,1725, the daughter of George Godfrey of Eastham. Married,
second, Feb. 29, 1727-8, Desire Berry. She was many years younger
than her husband. Joseph Doane was a man of more than ordinary
ability. He was long prominent in town, church and judicial affairs
exhibiting rare judgment, great aptitude for public business and im-
partiality in the discharge of his official duties.
He was a selectman of Eastham in 1700 and was reelected until
1705. He was town treasurer in 1703 and reelected in 1704 and
1705. He was a representative to the General Court at Boston in
1702, 1727 and 1728. In 1729 he was chosen successor of Dea. John
Paine as town clerk of Eastham which office he held till 1743. In 1749
he was commissioned a Justice of the Peace for Barnstable County
and was in commission until his death. In this position he was very
popular. His attainments gave him a wide field of labor and secured
him a large amount of legal business. There were but few Justices
in his time that surpassed him in a knowledge of the duties of the
office, or in the preparation of legal papers. During his long term
of office he solemnized many marriages in his own town as well as
in the towns adjoining. In Harwich, where he was highly esteemed,
he married sixty-six couples between the years 1710 and 1755. As
one of His Majestys Justices" he rendered great service to the Colo-
nial Government in securing for trial the survivors of the crew of the
noted pirate ship Whiddah, and her tenders, wrecked on the eastern
coast of Eastham, now Wellfleet in April, 1717. The WMddah and
her consorts were wrecked in the night, and the following morning
Mr. Doane was informed that seven of the pirates, who had escaped
from the wrecks, were on their way to Rhode Island. Without de-
lay he started in pursuit, with the deputy sheriff. The pirates were
soon overtaken, arrested, examined and orders given for their
committal. Soon after Mr. Doane received information that another
one of the pirates, who had escaped from the wreck the same night,
was preparing to leave. He immediately caused his arrest and upon
examination ordered his committal also. When these men were on
trial at Boston in October following, Mr. Doane was in attendance as a
witness at the command of Governor Shute and was absent from his
home ten days. On Apr. 10, 1712, he was appointed, by Governor
Dudley, Captain of the Foot Company of Indians, living within the
4
50 THE DOANE FAMILY.
several towns of Harwich, Eastham, Manomoit, Billingsgate and
Truro, belonging to the regiment of militia within the county of Barn-
stable whereof " John Otis, Esq., is Col." How long he was captain
of this company does not appear, nor does it appear that he held any
other commission as a military officer. In 1722 he was appointed a
Special Justice of the Court of Common Pleas for Barnstable county.
In his religious views Joseph Doane was a strict Calvinist. He
early became a member of the First Church of Eastham, now the
Congregational church of Orleans, of which his father and grand-
father were prominent members, and about 1717 became its deacon,
probably succeeding his father Dea. Daniel Doane. This office he
held until his death. He was one of the number who took an active
part in the movement in 1738, to eject the Rev. Samuel Osborn from
the pastorate of that church for what was considered heretical senti-
ments, and which resulted in the dismissal of the learned and liberal
minister from the pastoral office which he had held for twenty years.
Mr. Doane's first wife was the daughter of George Godfrey of
Eastham. In childhood she became a member of the family of Mr.
Thomas Calley, and continued with them until her marriage, receiving
all the attention that foster parents could give. When Mr. Calley
became aged and infirm, Mrs. Doane and husband gave him their
kind attention and as a token of his appreciation of their kindness
and for their promise "to keep and provide for him during life," he
gave them all his estate by deed, June 27, 1697-8.
Mr. Doane resided in that part of the ancient Eastham, now called
Orleans, about one eighth of a mile easterly from the Congregational
church, on the north side of the road, near or on the spot where stands
the house occupied by the late Freeman Mayo. His farm consisted
of many acres on the same side of the road. Some portion of it had
been in the possession of Thomas Calley and other portions in the
possession of his father Dea. Daniel Doane, who lived a short dis-
tance easterly on the same road. He was a large landholder in early
life, but had disposed of much of his property when he made his will
Mar. 5, 1754. He owned a good estate at his death which he divided
among his legal representatives. Late in life he made a large pur-
chase of land, of William Gray, in the south part of Harwich. Much
of this land yet remains in the possession of his descendants.
At his death he left a manuscript journal, which was copied by a
step-son of his daughter Rebecca. Neither the original nor the copy
is now known to be extant. The copyist says in his diary under date
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 51
of May 26, 1760, that " it had fine expressions, meditations and
verses."
Joseph Doane died at Orleans, and was buried there beside his wife
Mary, in the old cemetery near the church, where a stoue with this
inscription marks his grave :
Here's Inter'd the Body of
Joseph Doane Esq1' of Eastham

13 ISRAEL3 DOANE (Daniel,2 John1) was born probably at
Eastham, Mass., about 1672. He married first, about 1700, Ruth
Freeman who was born about 1680, and died June 7, 1728, the daughter
of Lieut. Edmund and Sarah (Mayo) Freeman.* Married second, Apr.

17, 1701-2 and served as surveyor in 1704, 1705-6, 1724-5 and 1734-5 ;
a constable in 1709-10 ; a selectman in 1719-20, 1725-6 and a jury-
man in 1731-2. The probate records at Barnstable show nothing of
his estate and the time of his death does not appear. The names
Edmund and Prence or Prince, found among his descendants in the
Nova Scotia, Saybrook, Conn., and Putnam Co., N. Y., branches of
the family, are derived from Lieut. Edmund Freeman of Eastham and
his mother, Mercy Prence, the daughter of Gov. Thomas Prence.

14 DANIEL3 DOANE (Daniel,2 John1) was born doubtless at
Eastham, Mass., but there is no record of his birth. He died at
Newtown, Bucks Co., Pa., Sept. 1, 1743. He was twice married,
but of his wives little or nothing is known. His first wife was Me-
hitabel. It is supposed that she was the daughter of William Twin-
ing, who had a daughter Mehetabel and who also removed from Cape
Cod to Bucks Co. before 1700. His second wife was Mary and it is
thought that she was the daughter of James Yates, from whom he
purchased his farm in Pennsylvania.
Mr. Doane was of a self-reliant, independent, inquiring mind, and
was led to study the teachings of the Friends who were then creat-
ing a sensation by their new doctrine. Charmed by their teachings
reelected yearly till the union of the Colonies in 1692. Was one of the first selectmen of
Eastham, and many years a deacon of the church. Was captain of the militia and in
1685 was appointed Major. Edmund3 Freeman, b. June, 1657; m. Sarah Mayo, b. Dec. 19,
1660, dau. of Capt. Samuel' Mayo (Kev. Johni). Their 12th child was Ruth* Freeman, b.
1680; m. Israel Doane.
54 THE DOANE FAMILY.
he united with the Meeting at Sandwich, about forty miles from his
father's home, the oldest Meeting in America. The precise date of
his joining the Friends is not known, but in 1696 he applied for and
received from the Sandwich Meeting the following certificate of re-
moval for himself and wife :
" At a meeting of Friends at Sandwich in New England ye 17th of 3rd mo.
1696. We here are to signify to all whom it may concern that our friend
Daniel Doane and his wife Mehetabel, that as far as we know their lives
and conversations hath been as becometh ye truth, and as for his testimo-
nial that he hath borne amongst us for ye blessed truth, we have great unity
with it as witness our hands. Win. Alleu, Israel Gaunt, Matthew Jones,
John Ewing, John Jennens, James Stewart and Abiah Jenkins."
After an overland journey of nearly seven hundred miles Mr. Doane
arrived in the Friends' colony in Pennsylvania with his wife and four
small children, the youngest about two years old. In course of time,
date unknown, he presented his credentials at the Meeting in Middle-
town, Bucks Co., and was duly accepted in membership.
He settled in, or adjacent to the village of Newtown where he fol-
lowed carpentering and farming, and prospered to an extent that
gave him a competence in his declining years. On Apr. 4, 1702, he
purchased of James Yates for seventy pounds sterling seventy-eight
acres of land situated south of the present Newtown borough, and
east of the Newtown creek. On Jan. 2, 1713, he bought twenty-two
acres adjoining the former purchase.
Although Daniel began well in Bucks Co. and was at first, it is
thought, a religious teacher among Friends, only a few years after
his arrival in Pennsylvania his investigating spirit led him to study
the stars and the influence of the planets upon one another. But
reports " that Daniel Doane should meddle in predicting astrologie"
brought him into conflict with his Meeting, which lasted almost con-
tinually until he was disowned in 1711. He had a way of assuming
the defensive which involved the frequent sending of committees to
parley with him ; but Daniel, strong in his sense of the right of private
judgment and of free toleration as to opinions, treated all charges
and committees with "unseemly expressions" and "contemptuous
flounts." From time to time, however, he would send in written apol-
ogies and other papers, one of which was as follows :
" In as much as many by their consulting the figures of conceptions, and
with revolutions and perfections, presume to tell what is contingent to bear
upon earth, either weal or woe, while they themselves are ye bitter source,
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 55
and are shut up, under ye oxit of ye animated spirit and become fools
to ye wisdom of Egypt; and inasmuch as it has much amused the minds
of many concerning me because I have done some things of that nature as
to prediction, and some have been inquisitus to see ye aphorisms and schemes
by which I did work them and though I did never show it unto any, yet I do say
ingeniously and without mental reservation, that I never was inclined,
much less to study, any magick art or southing divination or negromautio
trick."
At length tired of Daniel and his doings, the Middletown Meeting,
after many expressions of sorrow "that he is so wayward" and
prayers " that he may be brought back to ye truth" disowns "the
said Daniel Doane to be one of us," and "we being clear of him, his
wickedness lies upon his own head."
He was bequeathed "one pound in money" in his father's will
dated Sept. 18, 1712. This small allowance may have been on ac-
count of his having joined the Friends, but it is more probable that
the son received his share of the father's property before the removal
to Pennsylvania.
Daniel Doane was the first of the Doane family to migrate from
Cape Cod. He was the first and only one of the early generations to
forsake the church of his fathers. He was the founder of the largest
and in some respects the most important branch of the family.
His death is thus recorded on the records of the Middletown
Meeting: "Daniel Doan Senior deceased ye first day of ye ninth
(or eighth) mo. Anno. 1743 and on ye third day of ye week."
His will, dated Oct. 4, 1731, was probated Dec. 31, 1743. The fol-
lowing is an extract :
To my beloved children, Daniel Doan, Eliezer Doan, Elijah Doan, Joseph

died at Harwich, Mass., in 1758. He married Mary . Mr.
Doane resided on his father's place in Eastham, for some years, but
about 1744 removed to Harwich, and settled on the place formerly
occupied by William Gray. He was constable and surveyor at East-
ham, and a man of some prominence in both towns. He was one of
the founders of the church in the South Parish in 1747, and its first
deacon. His wife Mary survived him several years. She left a will
which was never presented for probate. The Eastham records do
not give a list of his children, but we have their names from the will
of the son Elijah.

(Smith) Freeman, widow of Thomas Freeman of Harwich. She died
after 1742. Married third, in 1744, Mrs. Sarah Knowles of Eastham.
Hezekiah Doane appears as a surveyor of highways in Eastham in
1691 and 1692. He early resided in what is now Provincetown,
where he was engaged in the whale fishery. He attended church at
Truro where some of his children were baptized. On May 15, 1705,
he and Samuel Treat, Jr., were admitted inhabitants of Pamet, now
Truro, and on Nov. 1, 1711, when a church was organized there with
Rev. John Avery as pastor, Hezekiah Doane was chosen deacon and
ruling elder. He was appointed a Justice of the Peace in 1710 and
held the office many years, his name appearing as a Justice on old
documents as late as 1736, at which time he was residing in Province-
town. Dr. Breed attended him in his last sickness. His widow
Sarah was appointed administratrix June 23, 1752, but died before the
estate was settled and Benjamin Higgins was appointed to her place.
He had a large family but their births are not recorded on public
records. The first four and last three of the following list, are
known to have been his children while the others are credited to him
on good evidence.

in life was engaged in the whale fisheries. He removed his family to
Chatham about 1713, where he was a prominent citizen. He was a
landholder both in Chatham and in Harwich. He appears on Chat-
ham records as the town treasurer in 1721 ; a selectman in 1725,
1726, 1727 ; a deputy to the General Court in 1736-7. In 1723 one
of the four schools of Chatham was at Thomas Doane's house. In
1721 he and Thomas Atkins were sent to Boston to get the town's
share of the Provincial, bills, and were ordered to "bring them to
Chatham any way possible, either by land or by sea." Both he and
his wife were buried in the old Chatham burial ground. Their grave
stones are still standing. His will was presented for probate Sept.

62 THE DOANE FAMILY.
18 EBENEZER3 DOANE (Ephraim,2 John1) was born at East-
ham, Mass., April, 1676. He married Lydia , but we have no
record of the marriage. He was engaged in the fisheries at Province-
town, Mass., and resided in Truro, where his children were baptized
by Rev. John Avery. He was a selectman in Truro in 1711 and the
same year appears there as the owner of cattle. June 14, 1714,
Ebenezer Doane was appointed by the General Court " to be the first
collector and receiver of a rate or duty of fourpense per week weekly
from every sojourner on the province lands at Cape Cod," said rate
to be "towards the support of a learned orthodox minister of good
conversation, to dispence the word of God among them, at sixty
pounds per year maintenance." In 1717 a grant of one hundred and
fifty pounds was made towards building a Meetinghouse at Province-
town, the money to be expended under the direction of Ebenezer
Doane and two others.

FOURTH GENERATION.
19 JOHN4 DOANE (John,3 John,2 John1) was born at Eastham,
Mass. He died about 1723. He married in Boston, June 23, 1714,
by Dr. Cotton Mather, Abiah Callender, daughter of Rev. Ellis Cal-
lender.* She was born in Boston, June 22, 1690, and is named, with
her sisters, in her father's will Dec. 10, 1725. She united with the
First Baptist church of Boston Sept. 1, 1723, during her brother's
ministry, from which she was expelled in 1743 " for contempt of the
church." This probably means that she refused to answer their sum-
mons to appear before the church to receive discipline.
Mr. Doane was a mariner and resided in Boston. His widow,
Abiah, was " admitted administrator on estate of John Doane, Jr.,
late of Boston, mariner, deceased," in 1723 ; but the only document in
the settlement of the estate, that has been preserved, is the Bond of
Administration, dated Aug. 12, 1723. On Apr. 25, 1735, the widow
sold for £700 her house and lands in the northerly end of Boston,
bounded southerly by the Cove or Dock.
Children, from Boston records :
i Meiietabel,5 b. Apr. 4, 1715; m. Apr. 13, 1736, by her uncle,
Rev. Elisha Callender, to John Cowley. In 1741, John Cow-
ley bought a dwelling-house in the westerly part of Boston
for £1000, also one " Still House & Horse Mill & Land " for
£212-2. On Aug. 23, 1759, he sold a dwelling-house and
* In 1708, the First Baptist church of Boston called to its pastorate Mr. Ellis Callender,
a discreet, devout, devoted man who had been a lay preacher for them since 1699. He
was the fifth pastor of the church, was beloved by all who knew him, and died abt. 1726.
Among his children were: John, b. Jan. 30, 1674. Abiah, b. June 22, 1690; in. John

20 JOHN4 DOANE (John,3 John,* John1) was boru at East-
bam, Mass., Mar. 17, 1733-4 and died about 1801. He married, first
(published, Boston, Mar. 27, 1754), Lucy Davenport, who was born
in Boston, Mass., Nov. 17, 1733 and died at Cohasset, Mass., Jan.,
1788, daughter of James Davenport of Boston. Married, second, be-
fore June 14, 1790, Rebecca . Mr Doaue was a goldsmith and
lived in Boston and in Cohasset. At the time of the Great Boston
Fire of Mar. 20, 1760, he was located on Mackerel Lane (Kilby St.)
and lost personal property to the amount of £32.5.4 while the heirs
of John Doane, Esq., his father, whose property lay largely in that
vicinity sustained a loss of £1100.
Mr. Doane seems to have been unfortunate in business. On July
21,' 1801, his son, Capt. John Doane of Scituate, was appointed
administrator on estate of his father John Doane, watchmaker, of
Boston. The estate consisted of one undivided twelfth part of a
house on School St. which was sold by order of the court for $630,
to pay claims of creditors, one of whom was David Stoddard Gree-
nough.*
A small balance of about $250 was by order of the court July 26,
1802, divided to Lucy Damon, wife of Josiah, Fanny Stevens widow of
Benjainm, John Doane, Nancy Hayden wife of Daniel, Jane Bourne
deed., late wife of Thomas ; children of said deceased or their legal

Rev. John Brown graduated at Harvard College in 1741 and re-
ceived a united call to the pastorate of the church at Cohasset, where
he was ordained Sept. 2, 1747, and where he preached until the last
Sabbath of his life. A warm friend to the interests of his country,
he zealously advocated its civil and religious freedom. He served
one campaign as chaplain to a Colonial regiment in Nova Scotia, and
for his service was granted a tract of land in that Province near what
is now the town of Liverpool. Mr. Brown is described as a man of
more than ordinary talent, of a stately person with a voice loud
and smooth. He thought for himself, uttered his opinions with fear-

Cohasset for forty-four years. He enjoyed social intercourse and
terms of intimacy with his brother-in-law Col. Elisha Doane of Boston

ably at Eastham, Mass. His birth is not recorded on Eastham rec-
ords, but he is named in his father's will. He died at Carlton
Village, Shelburne Co., Nova Scotia, before Sept. 24, 1787. He
married at Eastham, Jan. 27, 1732, Hannah4 Mayo, daughter of Na-
thaniel3 and Mary (Brown) Mayo (John,2 Rev. John1).
Mr. Doane removed from Cape Cod to Mansfield, Conn., probably
sometime between 1735 and 1743. His wife Hannah united by letter
with the First Congregational church of Mansfield, Mar. 2, 1746. In
1758, Eleazer Doane of Mansfield was appointed " Armourer in the
70 THE DOANE FAMILY.
1st Regt. raised in the Connecticut Colony for this campaign at an
allowance of £ti per month."
In 1760, he appears as one of the grantees at Falmouth on the
Avon river, near Windsor, Nova Scotia. On June 23, 1760, at a
meeting of the proprietors there, he was chosen one of a committee
to value land on west side of the Pisequid River, and on July 10th of
the same year he was chosen one of a committee to survey lands. No
further trace of him is found on Falmouth records.
In ] 785, Eleazer Doane with sons Asa and Nathan and thirteen
others, purchased four thousand seven hundred acres of Crown lands
near the old Loyalist town of Shelburne, N. S., " said land lying and
being on the western side of Port Roseway, between that port and
Cape Negro." Here he lived in what is now Carlton Village. " He
was buried there in an old field with a rough stone to mark his grave."
On Sept. 24, 1787, his widow Hannah and son Asa deeded to
Gideon White of Shelbnrne forty-five acres of their farm, situated on
Shelburne Harbor in what was then called the " Settlement," and
known as " Number Two."

March, 1738. His wife's name appears on the records of Hardwick,
Mass., as Lydia. Nothing more is known of her.
On Mar. 6, 1753, Mr. Doane bought for £133.6.8 one-half of Lot
30, in the westerly part of Hardwick. He removed from Cape Cod,

His store was burned, after which he settled on his place in Hard-
wick. On June 20, 1761, he purchased one-half acre, with orchard
and fence near the meeting-house in Hardwick.
He was a sergeant in Capt. Samuel Robinson's Co. from Hardwick
in the Crown Point expedition, between Mar. and Dec, 1755. He
was a member of the Separate church of Hardwick, his name being
signed to the covenant. This church was organized about 1750, but
so many of its members removed in 1761 to Bennington, Vt., that
the church as an organized body, together with its covenant and rec-
ords, was transferred to that town, where it formed a union with
small representations of two or three similar churches. Mr. Uoane
was one of those who removed to Bennington and was one of the
fifty-seven members of the Bennington Separate church, on its or-
ganization, Dec. 3, 1762. His name is on the list of those who signed
the covenant there on that day.
Oct. 22, 1761, he sold a tract of one hundred acres in the northerly
part of Hardwick, and on Nov. 16, 1762, his one-half acre there, near
the meeting-house, was sold by sheriff sale to satisfy the claims of
two creditors, John and Thomas Stevenson, merchants of Boston.
In these transactions he is styled " Trader."
Mr. Doane probably removed from Bennington. His name does
not appear among the names of those who, in 1784, agreed to be taxed
to pay the minister.
Where he spent his last days we have not clearly ascertained, but
it is claimed by some of his descendants that he died at his son
David's in Granville, N. Y. No complete list of his children has
been found.
The first four of the following list are from the Hardwick town rec-
ords, and the others are credited to him on good evidence.

east side of the Connecticut river." The widow, Deborah Doane,
bought land there Jan. 24, 1747, and again in March following, ad-
joining, as the deal says, " where she now lives." In the Easthamp-
ton, Conn., Society records her name appears as receiving money for
the use of her house for Divine service on the Lord's day. She died
of small-pox Aug. 27, 1752, and lies buried at Easthampton on the
farm, owned in 1874 by Mr. C. A. Strong, at which date the grave
was marked by a stone with inscription. Her estate, valued at

Scotia, Nov. 20, 1806. He was married at Eastham, Nov. 10, 1749,
by his uncle, Joseph Doane, Esq. (12), to Elizabeth Paine, widow of
William Paine and of William Myrick, and daughter of Rev. Samuel
and Jedidah (Smith) Osboru. She was born, probably, at Sand-
wich, Mass., where she was baptized at the First Congregational
church in 1715 (see Osborn Family) and died at Barrington, May
24, 1798.
In the autumn of 1761, Edmund Doane with his wife and seven
children sailed from Orleans, Mass., for the Cape Sable District.
They embarked at what was then known as "Nathaniel Mayo's Land-
ing," which was a landing, or cove, a little south of the present Con-
gregational church at East Orleans. Being driven off their course by
unfavorable winds they arrived at Liverpool, where they spent the
winter. The following spring they returned to the Cape Sable Dis-
trict, and were among the earliest settlers of the township of Bar-
rington.
The first people of English descent to fix their abodes at the head
of coves and harbors, around the shores of southwestern Nova Scotia,
were fishermen mostly from Cape Cod and Nantucket, in Massachu-
setts. They were not refugees for loyalty's sake, but simply " hard
liners " and net men, who had found out by their fearless cruises in
" pink stern" craft, that fish abounded in those waters. The first
steps towards an English settlement there were taken immediately
after the removal of the French in 1756. The Proclamation of the
Nova Scotia Colonial Governor, inviting settlers from New England
and elsewhere to occupy the vacated lands, followed immediately,
and as early as 1757 Governor Lawrence writes of having received
" application from a number of Substantial persons in New Eng-
land, for lands to settle at or near Cape Sable." A first company,
for some reason or other, failed to make a settlement, but in 1761-
1762 a large number, representing the best families of Cape Cod and
7() THE DOANE FAMILY.
Nantucket, removed to the Cape Sable District and formed a settle-
ment at what is now the town of Barrington. They were, for the
most part, a lot of intelligent and, so far as the times allowed, edu-
cated men. The handwriting of Benjamin Folger, John Coffin, John
Porter, Archelaus Smith and others, as the public records show, proves
them to have been men of more than ordinary schooling, and anything
but illiterate. These settlers were cut off from regular intercourse with
their kinsmen over the Bay, and often with one another for weeks in
the winter time. They had force of character, however, to cope with
difficulties and to improve their hard conditions.
Edmund Doane was of that number of "Substantial persons " from
Cape Cod, and doubtless was the first settler of the Doane name in
Nova Scotia. Before his removal to Nova Scotia he lived in East-
ham, that part set off in 1797 as Orleans. On Eastham records he
is recorded as a juryman in 1750 and 17G0. There are still in exist-
ence one or two of Edmund Doane's old account books, giving evi-
dence that, during his first years in Barrington, he kept a store, the
transactions ranging from 1762 to 1767 — a general store, such as
would be required by the circumstances of the beginning of a new
settlement. The chief articles of trade were rum, flour by the pound,
salt by the hogshead, molasses, sugar, medicine, dry goods, hard-
ware, etc.
It is understood that he received his supplies from his brother-in-
law, John Homer, a merchant of Boston, shipping him in return the
alewives, herring and other fish found in Nova Scotia waters.
Tiring of the hard conditions of his life in the new settlement, and
perhaps meeting with business reverses, Edmund Doane, on Oct. 17,
1776, sold his property at Barrington to his brother-in-law, John
Homer, for £132. 6. 5f intending to return with his family to New
England ; but, on petition of a large number of the townspeople, a
grant was made of town land, at Johnson's Point, to his wife Eliza-
beth, in consideration of her valuable medical services.
On this grant they settled and spent their remaining days. In the
petition she is described as being "destitute of accomodation of land
to set a house upon."
Mrs. Elizabeth Doane was a woman of considerable education, of
more than ordinary personal attractions and natural ability. Hav-
ing a good knowledge of medicine, and being skilled in the use of
roots and herbs, she was the only nurse and doctor to all the sick
of all the township. Her services were much sought after and

appreciated. When advanced iu years or when making long trips, she
was carried in a basket suspended from a pole across the shoulders
of two men. She returned several times to New England to visit
her relatives and friends. In 1763 she was one of three passengers
who came up from Barrington on the sloop Sherburn, Capt. Jonathan
Clarke, arriving in Boston, July 28. Again, in Sept., 1767, she
came over to Boston on the sloop Dove, Capt. Joseph Chapman.
The old pestle, with which she pounded her roots and herbs, is
still in use and in possession of her great-granddaughter, as well as
Edmund's old Family Bible, on the fly leaf of which is written :
"Edmund Doane, his book, bought in New England whilst he lived
there." They were buried in the old burial ground at Barrington Head.

committees. Being prosperous in business, he became the owner of
several tracts of land, one of which was four acres with a tavern in
Plumstead, and two hundred and fourteen acres on the Tohickon
Creek, purchased of tiie Proprietaries John, Richard and Thomas
Penn. His will, dated Sept. 17, 1757, was probated Oct. 24, 1757.
To his son John's children he gave the farm on the Tohickon Creek,
on condition that they support and care for their father during his
natural life. To his son David £100. To daughter Rebecca, £120,
and to Benjamin the plantation of one hundred and fifty acres, which
he bought of the widow Hillborn. The son Eleazer is named as

family when his parents removed to Pennsylvania, in 1696. The
minutes of the Buckingham Monthly Meeting show that on the 4th

39 JOSEPH4 DOANE (Daniel,3 Daniel,2 John1) was born in
Bucks Co., Pa., 1697, 2, 23 and died, probably at Cane Creek, N. C.
He married, in Friends Meeting, Middletown, Pa., 1726, 10, 14, Mary
Carter, who died between 1740 and 1744, the daughter of John and
Grace Carter, and settled in Wrightstown, and in membership with
the Meeting of that village. In his youth Joseph Doane acquired
great strength and power of endurance, and a knowledge of the
country about Newtown. These qualifications attracted the notice
of the Proprietaries Richard and Thomas Penn, who, while conclu-
ding upon the completion of Gov. Wm. Penn's treaty with the In-
dians for lands included in a three days' walk, employed several per-
sons to perform a trial walk under the supervision of the Sheriff of
Bucks Co. In April, 1735, James Steele wrote to the Sheriff that
"on the return of Joseph Doan" he with two others "who can travel
well" should be immediately sent on foot and two others on horse-
back to carry provisions, etc. They started on this preliminary
walk Apr. 22, 1735, and wei*e employed nine days. It appears that
Joseph Doan did not hold out one of the best, as he was not em-
ployed in the final walk Sept. 19 or 20, 1737. Mr. Doane learned the
carpenter's trade probably in his father's shop.
After the death of his wife he took a certificate of removal for
himself and children from Wrightstown to the Buckingham Meeting,
which bears date 1744, 11, 7. The family circle being broken, his
children in the homes and under the care of his relatives, Mr. Doan
in 1747, 2 mo. requested certificate of membership to visit his father's
people on Cape Cod. A committee was appointed to make the usual
inquiries, the report was favorable and the certificate was granted.
In the following May, the certificate was returned to the Buckingham
Meeting endorsed by the Meeting at Sandwich, Mass., testifying to

his good deportment, kindliness of feeling, etc. while there. At the
Meeting, 1750, 10 mo., Joseph Doan, "unmarried," requests certificate
" to Friends wherever his lot may be cast," and the next account of
him is on the organization of the Meeting at Caue Creek, North Caro-
lina 1751, 10, 7, when his credentials from Buckingham were read
and accepted. After three years he revisited his children and other rela-
tives in Pennsylvania, and brought certificate from Cane Creek which
was accepted at Buckingham 1754, 8, 5. On 2nd of mo. following,
he applied for return of certificate which was granted with the usual
endorsement. "We know nothing further of Joseph Doan, but with-
out doubt his bones lie in the Friends' burial-ground in or near Cane
Creek, North Carolina.

40 ISRAEL4 DOANE (Daniel,3 Daniel,2 John1) was born near
Newtown, Pa., 1699, 3, 20 and died at Plumstead, Pa., about 1797.
He married out of unity with Friends about 1724, Esther, whose
family name probably was Dillon. For this offence he was made a
subject of " dealing" and was disowned by the Middletown Monthly
Meeting, 1 725, 10, 2 after the usual committee of enquiry had reported
that ' ' the distance into the country where he lived was so great
it was difficult to see him." While we have no evidence that he was
restored to membership with them, there is proof that he ever main-
tained his fealty to Friends and attended their meetings for worship
at Plumstead, and that his children were recognized and treated as
members. He was a carpenter. Immediately after marriage, he
settled in a remote part of Plumstead on lands of the Indians, the
first or second white settler in that township. In 1782, he was taxed
in Plumstead for 122 acres, 2 horses, 3 cows and 4 sheep. After
the death of his wife, he sold his real estate and converted his
possessions into money. His will dated Dec. 25, 1787, and probated
in 1797, indicates approximately the time of his death. In it he
names his eldest son Joseph ; youngest son Mahlon ; three grand-

42 EPHRAIM4 DOANE (Hezekiah,3 Epbrairn,2 John1) was born
at Provincetown, Mass., Apr. 1, 1696. He was married at Truro,
Mass., Mar. 5, 1717, by Rev. John Avery, to Mary Atkins, who died
at Middletown, Conn., Dec. 23, 1751. He resided some years in
Truro but was in Provincetown in 1732, where he was engaged in the
fisheries. About 1738 he removed his family to Middletown. He
and his wife Mary were admitted to the church at Middletown on
recommendation of the church at Provincetown, Jan. 6, 1739. His
first purchase of land at Middletown was on June 18, 1739. He is on
record in Connecticut as a " mariner "and part owner of one or more
small vessels. He was joint owner with Thomas Goodwin, George
Phillips and Ebenezer Sage of the sloop Diamond. In the fall of
1745 they chartered this vessel to Maj. Jabez Hamlin as a transport
to carry Connecticut troops to Louisbourg. She sailed in November
of that year and soon after arrived. She was detained in the service
until Feb. 3, 1746, when she sailed from Louisbourg for New London,
but foundered at sea on the home trip.
In May, 1751, Ephraim Doane presented a memorial to the Assem-
bly of Connecticut, showing these facts and setting forth that his
two sons were among those lost in the vessel ; that the sons were his
great dependence in his advanced years, and that by their loss, and
loss of his vessel, he was brought under pitiable circumstances.
Whereupon the Assembly passed a resolution granting him a gratuity
of £150 old tenor bills.
His wife, Mary, was buried in the old burial ground on the bank
of the river at Middletown ; gravestone.

43 ELISHA4 DOANE (Hezekiah,3 Ephraim,2 John1) was bom,
probably, at Provincetown, Mass. His birth is not recorded on town
records ; but, if the figures on his gravestone are correct, he was born
about 1699. He died at Wellfleet, Mass., Dec. 7, 1759. " Elisha
Doane of Cape Cod and Hannah Cole of Eastham were married at
Cape Cod the 26th of February, 1718-19, by John Avery, pastor of
the church at Truro."
They settled in that part of Eastham, now called Wellfleet, where
he was extensively engaged in the whale fisheries, and in which busi-
ness he was quite successful. On the organization of the Congrega-
tional church there in 1730, he was chosen one of its deacons and
continued in the office till his death. On Feb. 20, 1744-5, he was
commissioned Captain of the 4th Co. 7th Mass. Regt. in the Louis-
bourg expedition, a regiment made up from Barnstable county under
command of Col. Shubael Gorham. Captain Doane was one of
the first who started for Cape Breton, and it is understood that his
company saw severe service at Louisbourg and participated in the
attacks on the "Island Battery." After the capitulation, he remained
at Louisbourg on garrison duty, and it is possible that he had his
family with him.
It is claimed that his daughter, Ruth, died at Cape Breton, aged
fifteen years, and his son Elisha, Jr., was there as an ensign in his
father's company. On June 24, 1746, Captain Doane set forth in a
petition to the General Court of Massachusetts that his company was
one of the first that went down upon the expedition, that their wages
were but £5 per month, that they " lost all benefit of plunder by the
capitulation " and praying therefore that the court would grant to
his company their arms, swords, etc. It is reported in the History
of Eastham that the Doane hero at Louisbourg underwent much suf-
fering by captivity after the fall of the fortress, and the facts stated
are largely true, but all the honor, service and hardship are ascribed
to Capt. Elisha's father, Hezekiah Doane, Sen., who in 1745 was 73
years old, in fact, too far advanced in life for any military service.

On Jan. 31, 1747, French and Indian troops from Bay Verte and
Chignecto, between five and six hundred strong, arrived at Grand Pre
on the Basin of Minas,and in a blinding snowstorm at 2 A.M. attacked
the detachment of Mass. troops quartered there under command of
Lt. Col. Noble. The surprise was a complete one and among those
captured by the enemy and held as prisoners of war was our Capt.
Elisha, who was taken first to Bay Verte, thence to Quebec, arriving
there June 17, 1747. It is understood that he suffered " all but
death " at the hands and mercy of the French.
While at Quebec he became surety for the redemption money of
Rachel Quackinbush who had been stolen by the Indians, and pur-
chased by the French.
There is no doubt whatever as to the identity of the Captain Doane
who figured at Louisburg and who was one of the victims of French
hostility at Grand Pre. He was none other than Capt. Elisha, son of
Hezekiah of Wellfleet.
His name appeal's in an account, endorsed March 8, 1747-8, of
money paid to Minas prisoners from Canada. Only a little can be
learned of the career of Capt. or Col. Elisha Doane, but what has
come down to us shows him to have been a man of great courage,
daring, shrewdness and enterprise. He was well known in Barnstable
County where he was a man of prominence and influence, and where he
was esteemed for his intelligence, judgment, coolness and discretion in
his public and private life. The church mourned him and lamented
his death. I think it was he who was called " King Doane" by the
people, and doubtless the appellation was deservedly given. His
sword, with his name engraved upon it, is still in possession of his
descendants.
His will, dated May 26, 1758, and proved Mar. 4, 1760, is on record
at Barnstable. It was witnessed by his pastor Rev. Isaiah Lewis,
Edward Bacon and David Gorham. His sons Elisha and Joseph were
the executors. He Bhows the man in his disposition of his property.
He died Dec. 7, 1759, and lies buried with his wife and other
members of the family, in the Duck Creek burial ground, at Wellfleet.
His widow died at Wellfleet, Feb. 25, 1786, at the extreme age of
ninety-five years.
The following is inscribed on his gravestone :

was born Apr. 25, 1713, the daughter of Samuel3 and Aroda (Haley)
Skillings (John,2 Thomas1) of Kittery, and Falmouth, Me. Mr.
Doane went to Falmouth perhaps as early as the spring of 1739,
when seven or eight families, among whom were the principal
inhabitants, removed from Provincetown to Casco Bay. He was
probably a seafaring man. They settled at Long Creek, Cape
Elizabeth. After the death of her husband, of which we have no
record, Mrs. Doane went to live with her daughter, Joanna Berry, at
Buckfield, where she died very aged. But little can be learned of
Ebenezer Doane. The probate records were burned in the Portland
fire. I copy the history of this family from the Maine Genealogical
Recorder. The births of their children are not recorded on the town
or church records of Cape Elizabeth, but the following list is made
up from reliable sources.

FIFTH GENERATION.
50 ELISHA5 DOANE (John,4 John,3 John,2 John1) was born in
Boston, Mass., Nov. 27, 1721 and died in London, England, about
1771. He married Miss Mary Eldredge, the daughter of a planter
of Barbados, W. I. Mr. Doane was the youngest son of John and
Abiah (Callender) Doane and was a child of two years on the death
of his father. He entered the Royal Navy, and doubtless was the "Mr.
Doane" who was mate of the man-of-war Guernsey, Capt. Millbank,
in Gibraltar harbor in Dec., 1759, and who " had lost the thumb and
two fingers of his left hand." Elisha Doane was promoted to a Pur-
sership, and served under Admiral Lord Rodney, probably on the
Admiral's own ship. After marriage they settled in London.
Child :
112 i Joseph Proud,6 b. in London about 1771.
Extract from letter, dated May 20, 1879, from Mr. Charles Doane of Lou-
don, graudson of Elisha5 Doane.
My grandfather came from one of the North American Colonies, I do not
know which. His name was, I think, Elisha Doane. He entered the Royal
Navy and served as Purser under Lord Rodney, but whether in the Admiral's
own ship I do not know. Elisha Doane was, I believe, a messmate of Ad-
miral Lord Barham who was, I have heard, a Lieut., in the same ship. They
were promoted together to a Lieutenancy and to a Pursership. The reason
why I say I believe and I think, arises from the fact that my grandfather,
Elisha Doane, died while my father was yet a child, or at any rate a very
little boy and therefore he (my father) could tell us very little. Elisha
Doane married a Miss Mary Eldredge dau. of a planter in Barbados. The
estate of Eldredge is now of considerable importance in Barbados as I learn
from the late Governor Sir James Walker, a friend of ours. My father,
Joseph Proud Doane, was the only son of Elisha Doane R. N. and Mary
Eldredge his wife. He was christened Proud after his godfather a Capt.
Proud of the Royal Navy, but he disliked the name and was known only as
Joseph Doane. My father died in 1833 aged 62 ; this and assuming that Elisha
Doane was about 60 when he died, will enable you to come very near to the
time when Elisha Doane entered the navy from the Colonies. Elisha Doane

of the R. N., had powerful friends and my father as a young man was ap-
pointed Auditor of the Corporation of Bedford Level which gave him official
chambers in the Temple, the entrance to which was in Fairfield Court, now
pulled down. My father later in life formed a connection with the Public
Press.
Richard Doane, the eldest of us, was a Barrister and while studying for
the Bar was the friend, pupil and sometime secretary to the great Juris
Consult Jeremy Bentham. Jeremy Bentham in his will left my brother
Richard all his books on English Law and Richard Doane edited that portion
of the posthumous edition of Bentham's works which related to English
Law. Joseph Doane followed in his father's footsteps, and I in 1828 was
entered a student in the Royal Academy of Arts. But brother Joseph and
myself, sole survivors, each in the possession of a competent fortune, use
such talents as we may possess only in the solace of unlimited leisure.
Bishop Doane, the Bishop of Albany, U. S., was over here last summer to
attend the Lambeth Synod and took a keen interest with us in endeavoring to
trace the origin of the family here and he told me, that his father, the Bishop
of New Jersey, had the same feeling. Edmondson in his Book of Heraldry,
gives the Doanes as springing from Ireland and gives the Arms as a Uni-
corn salient on a field azure, crucily or. and these are the Arms which my
brother and myself bear, having three generations free from trade and so en-
titled to Coat Armour. Sir Bernard Burk in his book on Armoury has copied
the Doane shield from Edmondson. I never knew, or met or heard of auy
family by the name of Doane in this country except my own. There are
plenty of Dones, they are from Cheshire. Botli the Heralds College in
London, and the Dublin College have been searched in vain. The latter says
we are the O'Douanes of Connaught, but this is all nonsense. There is no
doubt of our affinity with the American Doanes but their name is legion.
51 JOHN5 DOANE (John,4 John,3 John,2 John1) was born at
Scituate, Mass., Nov. 6, 1765, and died there Jan. 21, 1805. He
married Dec. 22, 1784, Lucy Studley Litchfield, born Apr. 20, 1761,
and died at Scituate, Feb. 12, 1839, the daughter of Josiah4 and
Abigail (Studley) Litchfield. Mr. Doane was a mariner and farmer,
and lived in Scituate. The records style him "Captaiu." Widow
Lucy was appointed to settle his estate, May 21, 1805. Inventory
amounted to $4279.60. He was buried in Groveland cemetery, North
Scituate (gravestone) .

Dana. He married Bethia . We have no record of the mar-
riage, but she died at Dana, Apr. 16, 1812, aged about 86 years.
Noah Doane succeeded to his father's farm, and lived in his
father's house, in the north part of the present town of Eastham.
On Mar. 22, 1797, he sold the Eastham place to his son Zenas, and,
taking his household effects and his live stock, together with his
youngest son Edward and wife Sarah, removed from the Cape into
Worcester county where, on the 19th of April following, he bought
of Silas Johnson, for $1533, a farm of one hundred acres with one
story wooden house and barn, in that part of Petersham set off in
1801 as the town of Dana. Here the two families occupied the same
house, the son sailing each year from about the middle of Sept. to
the middle of March on voyages to the West Indies or to the West
of Africa. On Mar. 16, 1808, Noah Doane deeded the Dana farm
to his son Edward who, Apr. 15, 1816, sold out and bought a farm
of one hundred and seventy acres in the south part of the present
town of Petersham.
Noah Doane was a large man fully six feet tall, and of remarkable
vitality. When eighty-seven years old he used to spring from the
ground into his saddle and gallop his horse off to Hardwick to visit
his daughter Priscilla.

57 JOHN5 DOANE (Simeon,4 Samuel,3 John,2 John1) was born
at Easthatn, Mass., about 1738 or 1739. The town records give his
name in the list of his father's children, but not the date of his birth.
He died at Eastham, Apr. 19, 1800 in the 62nd year of his age, and
was buried in Herring Pond burial-ground near the old church where
he had worshipped (gravestones). He married about 1761 Betsey
Snow who died Oct. 22, 1819 (gravestone, Herring Pond burial-
ground) .
John Doane was a private in the war against the French in 1758,
under Capt. Samuel Knowles, in Col. Thomas Doty's Regt. ; also
private, Capt. Jabez Snow's Co., Col. John Thomas Regt., at An-
napolis Royal, from Mar. 27 to Nov. 1, 1759; also same Co. from
Nov. 2, 1759 to June 23, 1760. He lived in the present town of East-
ham, on the north side of the harbor.
The house he built and occupied was sold, first, to his brother
Isaiah Doane (60), then to his son Heman Doane (129), and from him
it passed to Heman Doane, Jr. (319), and was standing until a few
years ago when it was torn down. Mrs. Betsey Doane used to say that
she could stand in her doorway and see the house of each of her four
sons. Mr. Doane was a deacon of the church in the middle parish
during Rev. Mr. Cheever's ministry. Their house of worship, erected
about 1819, stood near Herring Pond.

Col. Elisha Doane of Wellfleet (103), his Eastham place was sold
Apr. 19, 1769. They moved from the Cape and settled in Brookfield.
He bought one hundred and thirty-five acres of land there, from
Ebenezer Harrington, Nov. 6, 1779, and is then styled "gentleman,

70 JOHN5 DOANE (David,4 David,3 John,2 John1) was born
about 1760 and died at Richland, Oswego Co., N. Y., Jan. 9, 1831
* Extract from Mrs. Sarah Barnes' letter: My father was apprenticed to learn a trade,
and at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he went on one or two whaling voyages to the
west of Greenland. When the War of Independence broke out he joined the army and
was a commissary. After peace was declared, a farm was set off to him, I tliink, at
Tinmouth, Vt., valued at $1000, as payment for his services and which he afterwards
sold, receiving therefor Continental money. This so depreciated on his hands that it
took $250 to buy a two-year-old steer. Left nearly penniless, but with health, ambition
and courage he resolved still to live and prosper. He married at the age of 27, took a
farm in Shaftsbury, Vt., for one or two years, then bought a farm in Granville, N. Y.,
cleared it, built a log house and moved into it. After doing so much, he found his title
was defective, and had to pay for the farm a second time; but, with courage unabated, he
pursued his way till he became comparatively wealthy and Independent. My mother's
father was a Dr. Fuller, who came from Norwich, Conn., to Vt. My mother was born in
Norwich, and was four years of age when her parents came to Bennington, Vt. My
mother's family name was Smith. Several of the family used to visit us, among whom
were Uncle Ephraim Smith and several of his children. They all were quite wealthy.
Grandfather Fuller was a surgeon in the army. My mother was a young lady of eight-
een or nineteen at the time of the Battle of Bennington. Besides her father, I think she
had one or two brothers in the army. The Bennington church was used for a hospital
and some of the wounded and prisoners were quartered in Grandfather Fuller's house,
and it was after the wounded and prisoners were removed, the church cleaned and
notice given that divine service would be held, that my mother went to church and met
my father for the first time. She had seen a brother and sister of his before. The only
brother of my father that I ever saw was Uncle John Doane. He lived at White Creek,
N. Y. He used to visit us quite often with his sons John and Hiram, but none of them
since my father's death.

(gravestones, Pulaski) . He married Sylvina Wheeler, who died in
Sept., 1844. He probably resided for a time at White Creek, N. Y.,
and later at Litchfield, N. Y., and in Oswego Co. It is claimed that
he was a Revolutionary soldier; that " he was in an old prison ship
in New York for eighteen months." In a list of those confined in the
British Prison Ship Jersey, off Long Island, is the name John Doan.

thaniel Doane went with his mother from Eastham to Middletown,
108 THE DOANE FAMILY.
Conn., about 1747, and located in that part now called Chatham. He
was a mariner, and was lost at sea. His vessel foundered on a voyage
from New London to the West Indies. There was a severe storm
shortly after he left port. A returning vessel picked up a pail having
Nathaniel Doane's name on the bottom. His widow Sarah was ap-
pointed to settle his estate June 3, 1771. A distribution of the estate
was made Feb. 25, 1776, to daughter Sarah and sons Nathaniel,
Asaph and Ruppell.

Bowers, Mercy Parker, who died May 9, 1802. Both were buried in
cemetery at Middle Haddam Landing. Mr. Doane lived in that part
of Middletown, now Chatham. He was a mariner and it is reported
that he and hissonSeth, Jr., were taken prisoners by the British from
a merchant vessel in 1776, the father at the time being mate of the
vessel on which he was captured. They were released in 1777 and the
younger Seth died soon after at his father's, from sickness contract-
ed while a prisoner and due to his captivity. He and his fellow pris-
oners were told that their last meal before their release should be a
good one. Savory soup was set before them, and they all partook
except one who did not like onions, with which the soup was flavored,
and who returned comparatively well. Of those who ate, all died,
either on their way home or soon after their arrival, from the effects
of poison mixed with their food. On Mar. 9, 1778, Seth Doane, Sen.,
was on a committee to provide clothes for the Continental soldiers.
He appears as master of a privateer. He is said to have been zealous
in the Point Judith engagement.

* Extract from letter of Joseph Chapman to hie brother-in-law Stephen Ulter, dated
Salem, O., Aug. 12, 1816:
I address you to inform you of our relatives in this country. My wife does not enjoy
a very good state of health this summer, although she keeps about and does her work.
As for myself, I am well as to bodily health though not able to walk without crutches,
having but little use of my hands and feet. Brother R. Doane and wife are not very
well, though much better than he was last spring. His wife is much better than she was
when Mr. Post was here. We heard of the death of our aged father Doane by way of a
letter from Mr. Abram Towner to Mr. Beaumont, likewise of the death of brother John
Doane. I wish you to write by the first opportunity, and let me know what their disease
was, and whether they felt resigned to the will of God. Happy and thrice happy are the
dead who die in the Lord. I let out my farm yearly as I am not able to do any labor
myself. I find team and farming utensils and have half of everything that is raised
on the farm. The fruit was so cut off last spring that I do not expect to make any cider
this season. Lyman Doane lives with me yet, but I expect he will go home in the fall.
Tell Edmund I wish he would send on one of his boys, to take care of me in my de-
crepit state. We want to see you all very much, but it is not likely we ever shall unless
you come to this country. I hope yet we shall see some of our friends here. Guy Doane
was here last winter and tarried with us about three weeks, then went down to Cincin-
nati. He wrote to me about a month after, but we have not heard from him since. I wish
you to inform me concerning the times, and the situations of our relatives and whether
any of them talk of coming to this country or not. There has been for a year past a
great revival of religion, but chiefly among the Free AVill Baptists, or as some term them
New Lights.

Mr. Doane went with his father's family from Cape Cod to Nova
Scotia in 1761. After his marriage he settled first at Barrington
Head, near the schoolhouse on the hill, formerly known as " Uncle
Ned's Hill." A field down by the cove near there is still known as
" Uncle Israel's Field." Possibly they went from there to Barring-
ton Passage, but iu June, 1781, they moved from Barrington to

116 THE DOANE FAMILY.
acres of Crown Lands. At Little River, his house stood on what
was the home lot of the late Thomas Smith, Jr. Until a few years
ago an old cellar and a large branching apple-tree, said to have
grown from seed planted by wife Desire, marked the site of his house.
On Mar. 5, 1792, he sold his property at Little River to John and
David Pinkney for sixty pounds, and removed to Roberts Island,
Argyle township, where he purchased and occupied all the land below
the brook, running near the house of Reuben Goodwin. Having a
good education for the times, Mr. Doane taught school at Tusket
Lakes, in the house of Maj. Samuel Andrews and on Roberts Island,
where a few years ago could be seen a few old logs marking the site
of his schoolhouse. As a teacher, it is said that he was somewhat
lax in government, but always his heavy stamp upon the floor was
a well understood signal for a reign of law and order. In February,
1836, he wrote a brief and interesting account of his ancestors, which
a few years later his daughter, Drusilla, printed in a little pamphlet
of eight pages. Mr. Doane was a christian man and doubtless was
a member of the Argyle Baptist church. The late Mr. Benjamin
Roberts, who was one of his pupils, remembered that he often led the
village prayer meetings. It is understood that the Rev. Enoch Towner
while visiting at their home baptized his wife Desire in the harbor
only a few rods from their door. They died at the home of their
daughter, Mrs. Susannah Kenney. She was afflicted with asthma
for sixteen years. Both were buried in unmarked graves in the old
burial-ground near the Argyle Baptist church. Her father, Daniel
Nickerson, was born on Cape Cod about 1720, moved to Liverpool,
N. S., in 1764 and lived there many years. He was at Little River,
Argyle township, in 1787, but on Jan. 5, 1792, Daniel Nickerson and
wife "Nabby" sold their property at Little River and removed to
Litchfield, Me., settling at the "Plains" on the Toothacre farm,
where he died June 18, 1801, aged 80 years, 9 mos., leaving several
sons of whom were John and Hugh Nickerson of Argyle. (See
History of Litchfield and an account of its Centennial Celebration

87 SAMUEL OSBORN5 DOANE (Edmund,4 Israel,3 Daniel,2
John1) was born at Eastham, Mass., June 7, 1752 and died at Bar-
rington, Nova Scotia, Feb. 21, 1824. He married at Barrington,
Apr. 9, 1774, Sarah Harding, born at Eastham, Dec. 23, 1756 and
died at Barrington, May 24, 1843, the daughter of Theodore and
118 THE DOANE FAMILY.
Martha (Sears) Harding and sister of Rev. Theodore Seth Harding,
one of the well known Baptist Fathers of the Maritime Provinces.
Her father was one of the grantees at Barrington from Eastham, and
in the division of the grant received Lot No. 31.
Samuel O. Doane was nine years old when his parents moved from
Massachusetts to Nova Scotia. He was a man of recognized character
and abilit}7 in the new settlement of Barrington. For many years he
was both Proprietor's and Town Clerk, and many of the early records
are in his beautiful handwriting. He was a Justice of the Peace and
served as schoolmaster, solemnizer of marriages in all parts of the
township and conductor of public religious services in the absence
of any regularly qualified minister. Although a man evidently not
seeking prominence, yet probably there was no other of his townsmen,
who so effectually served them and who, to so great an extent, influ-
enced a succeeding generation. A notice of his death in the Acadian
Recorder of Halifax says : " Mr. Doane came to Barrington early in
life from the United States ; he lived long and respected and de-
scended into the vale of death with the exhilarating hope of rising
again safe from diseases and decline."

89 DANIEL5 DOANE (Daniel,4 Daniel,3 Daniel,2 John1) was
born at Middletown, Bucks Co., Pa., 1721, 6, 8 and died in the
Northern Liberties now included within the limits of Philadelphia,
Pa., in 1760. He appears to have abandoned his fealty to the Society
of Friends, as on June 2, 1756, he was married at Christ's Church in
Philadelphia, to Sarah Dyer of Northampton, Bucks Co. He was a
carpenter and after his marriage resided in Northampton, but subse-
quently removed to the Northern Liberties. In the fall of 1760, he
was attacked with a severe illness of which he died shortly after. He
made his will Nov. 7, 1760, and devised his small estate to his wife
Sarah, wherewith to support their three children. On Sept. 24, 1764,
the widow married John Dorland, and the children were taken by
their uncle Edward Dyer of Northampton. For some reason their
youngest child, named in the will as Thomas, was always known as
Daniel, but it is probable that the mother changed his name while he
was an infant, in honor of his deceased father.

at Middletown, Bucks Co., Pa., 1734, 7, 1 and died in Chester Co.,
Pa., 1821, 3, 21. He married, about 1763, Phoebe DeMoney, who
was born 1740, 3, 15 and died in Chester Co., 1825, 4, 15. They
settled first on the borders of Bucks and Montgomery counties where
they lived several years. During the years of the French and Indian
wars, they penetrated the wilderness and fixed their abode in the wilds
of the Susquehanna River. Here they experienced all the hardships
of frontier life and met with many troubles and disasters in conse-
quence of the hostility of the Indians, and many traditions* of their
* The family traditions relate that John was taken prisoner by the Indians on three
different occasions. On one of these his wife heard the shouts of the Indians indicating
their capture of a prisoner. Opening the door she saw her husband in the hands of the
savages at the clearing in which he was at work on the opposite side of the stream. Com-
prehending the situation she immediately closed the door, crept out through a back
window and with the children made her way through the woods toward the neighboring
settlements. When night came on, she took shelter in a Friends Meeting house, and

sufferings at the hands of the natives have been handed down to their
descendants. During the exciting times of the Revolution they re-
turned to the regions of civilization and again settled in Montgomery
Co., but the spirit of adventure was uppermost and after a few years
they resumed their former life in Lycoming Co. About 1816, they
placed their business affairs in other hands and went on a visit to their
daughter Rachel at Penu's Park, and later to their son Henry in
Chester Co. It is claimed that John doffed his Quaker coat and saw
service with the Pennsylvania troops in the French and Indian War,
and that he was present and assisted in the burial of General Brad-
dock, in July, 1755.

of the old school, hospitable and courteous to all who
visited his home. They purchased a farm in Penn's Valley,
Berks Co., Pa., where he died in young manhood. Soon
after marriage they attached themselves to the German Re-
formed Church, but her inherited sentiments kept her to the
plainness of speech and dress peculiar to the Friends. Her
husband left, by his will, all of the property to her in her
right absolutely and by this inheritance she was enabled to
enjoy her literary and personal tastes in reading, music,
embroidery and other works of art. She collected, at a cost
of several hundred dollars, quite a library of religious works.

91 JOHN5 DOAN (Eleazer,4 Daniel,3 Daniel,9 John1) was born
in Bucks Co., Pa., 1716-17, 1,11 and died in Haycock township,
before morning on the 31et of 3rd mo., 1780, her son Amos was born. Another time while
Phtebe was in the woods, her dog startled a bear and drove him to a tree, in the branches
of which he took shelter. She called to a man, who was driving a team near by, to come
and help, who told her to keep the bear in the tree till his return. As the man with the
team receded, the bear scrambled down the tree. As it neared the ground she stabbed
him twice in the heart with her pocket knife, from the effects of which he died without
attempting an attack upon her. The knife is still kept in reverential memory by one of
her grandsons.
122 THE DOANE FAMILY.
Bucks Co., about 1788. He married 1739, 12, 13, Hannah Wilson.
Mr. Doane settled on the farm on the Tohickon Creek in Haycock
township that was the property of his father, and where five of their
children were born. He appears to have become helpless or inca-
pacitated for business in his latter days, as his father's will bequeaths
the Tohickon Creek farm to John's children, on condition that they
support the said John during his lifetime. The exact time of his
death has not been ascertained, but in 1788 a petition was filed in
court, signed by Eleazer, Hannah, Sarah and Nathan Doane, and
Aaron Maulsbury asking for a division of fifty acres, the farm of
their father John Doan late of Haycock township, intestate. By
order of the court the property was sold aud the son, Eleazer, became
the purchaser.

11, 22, Jemima Kinsey, who was born 1728, 8, 27, and died at Up-
per Makefield, 1804, 3, 29 (buried in Friends cemetery, Wrightstown),
the widow of Jonathan Kinsey and daughter of Zebulon and Eliza-
beth (Backman) Heston of Wrightstown. She had been a widow
two or three years when she married Mr. Doane, and by her first
marriage had two children: Mary Kinsey who married Eleazer
Doane (216) and Jonathan Kinsey who married Sarah Tomlinson.
Benjamin Doane was a prosperous farmer, and became the owner
and occupant of the Doane homestead at Upper Makefield. They
were members of Friends Society at Wrightstown.

born near Wrigbtstown, Pa., 1727, 3, 29, and died probably at Crow-

to the writer. He was a farmer, near the Delaware river in New
Jersey, between Trenton and New Hope, but sold his farm in 1793
and removed to Ontario with his family of seven sons and one
daughter, his son Elijah's wife and two small children. They settled
in Crovvland, since known as Doan's Ridge, about twelve miles south-
west of Niagara Falls, one of the most fertile regions of the country,
where the sons became known as "The Seven Brothers of Crow-

Abigail Pike of Frederick Co., Va. On the death of his mother
between 1740 and 1744, Mr. Doane appears to have been placed
under the care of some relatives or friends. At the age of twenty-
one years he took a certificate dated 1752, 11, 6, from the Bucking-
ham Meeting which was read and he accepted in membership at the
Cane Creek meeting, 1753,2,3. There is proof that between the
time of obtaining his certificate and producing it at Cane Creek he
was married to his first wife.

12, 13 and died in Bucks Co., Pa., 1803, 10, 15. After the death
of his mother Ebenezer Doane with the other children appears to have
been apprenticed, or otherwise placed for care among their relatives.

His wife, who was born in Germany, embarked in 1744 for America
with her parents Henry and Catherine Sloy. The parents died on
the voyage. In couseqnence of this marriage Ebenezer was dis-
owned by the Society of Friends to which he belonged. In 1777,
however, he applied to the Buckingham Society to accept his chil-
dren who were yet under age, under the care of the Meeting. Jona-
than being over twenty-one made the same request for himself and
both were granted. All of these children, except Jonathan, removed
to Canada. Ebenezer remained till 1808 when, in the seventy-fifth
year of his age, he joined the children in Canada* and there in tbe
family of one of his sons, living on Yonge street about thirty miles
north of Toronto, he died.
The location of Ebenezer's residence in Bucks County is somewhat
accurately settled by the statement of his son Joseph, that a part of
Washington's army was encamped on a farm adjacent to his father's,
for a day and night prior to crossing the Delaware river which en-
campment it is understood was near the mouth of Knowles Creek,
below the present village of Brownsburg.

* This extract from Mrs. Emily McArthur's letter gives a more precise statement of
the migration to Canada :
"Ebenezer Doan was firm in the faith and practice of the Friends, of which sect he
was a member, and before leaving Pennsylvania obtained the usual certificate of re-
moval dated at the Meeting in Buckingham on 4th of 4th mo., 1808, which was presented
and accepted at the Yonge Street Meeting on the 14th of 7th mo., 1808. Similar certifi-
cates were read on behalf of William, Joseph, Ebenezer and wife with their three
children, also for Mahlon and wife Rebecca and their six children ; also for his daughter
Mary Doan, all of which certificates were approved and the applicants accepted in
membership. Having made a selection of land for themselves, Ebenezer together with
his son William and daughter Mary, both of whom were single, formed a joint house-
hold and so remained until after the death of Ebenezer. Ebenezer and his family took
up 400 contiguous acres on Yonge St., and in a few years the wilderness had been trans-
formed into a garden and a farm."
126 THE DOANE FAMILY.
96 JOSEPH5 DOANE (Israel,4 Daniel,3 Daniel,2 John1) was
born in Plumstead, Bucks Co., Pa., between 1726 and 1730 and died
in Ontario, Canada, aged about 92 years. He married, about 1750,
Hester Vickers who died in Ontario.
Joseph Doane was the father of five of the "Doane Brothers," cele-
brated in the Revolutionary history of Bucks Co., and any account
of his life necessarily involves something of the history of his sons,
whose exploits have been the theme of so many newspaper articles
and historical references during the past one hundred years. His
vocation was that of a carpenter, which occupation he followed the
greater part of his active life, and was prosperous to an extent that
he became the owner of two farms and was a speculator in lands.
They raised a family of six sons and three daughters, all of sturdy,
strong and extraordinarily well developed physiques. As children
they acquired the reputation of being the most honest, just and kindly
disposed of any of their companions ; their sense of justice and
right was so firmly developed, that they would uot even partake of
the fallen fruit of a neighbor's orchard, without first obtaining leave
of the owner. Well trained as they were in the tenets of the Society
of Friends to which they gave their faith, they were Loyalists during
the War of the Revolution, not merely from a sense of duty to their
King but from a sense of duty to themselves and their religion.
This faith in the doctrines of their church led them to the opinion
that attempts to change government by force, necessarily must be
accompanied by acts of violence and bloodshed, in violation of the
laws of God, and that which could not be acquired without force was
not worth the cost of getting. This principle made them loyal to the
Crown while it was in power, and was the ground of their neutrality
during the troublous times of the Revolutionary war. They were
known as Friends, loyal to the Crown in their sentiments though
neutral in action, and for a time were left at rest and peace as much
as were the general body of the Friends of the county.
The conduct of Joseph and his sons was consistent with their prin-
ciples, and commanded the respect of their neighbors until the inde-
pendence of the Colonies had been well assured by the successes of
the army after 1776, when the war became one for entire independ-
ence, between which and 1783 when the preliminary treaty of
peace was made in February, the assumed government assumed to
all the powers of an established one, and some changes of laws were
made not so liberal toward the neutral Friends as those of the former
government.
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 127
Of these changes, the exactions for military service and the fines
for non-compliance fell most heavily upon those who conscientiously
looked upon war as the worst of all evils. Members of the Society
of Friends refused to train in the militia musters, or to pay the pen-
alties imposed, leaving the officers to collect the exactions by process
of law, to which these non-resisting people made no more forcible
objections than remonstrance and the pressure of moral suasion. It
was not the amount of those penalties that gave them so much grief,
as the fact of their being compelled to support a system of violence
and bloodshed that was at variance with their sense of duty to their
Creator. Joseph, and his sons who had grown to be over eighteen
years of age, became in the new order of things subject to these
exactions which they by omission refused to pay, and had their prop-
erty seized and sold by the collectors.
Whatever Joseph may have done to render himself subject to the
direct action of the law is not clear but, on November 11, 1777, he
was fined fifty dollars by the Bucks County Court at Newtown for
"misdemeanor." With the reputation for uprightness and integrity
that still clings to the memory of Joseph Doane through his neigh-
bors and the descendants of those who knew him, we can imagine no
act of his that could make him subject to the penal law, except such
as might be connected with his omission to pay the military taxes
which was often construed to be a form of misdemeanor.
Hence the strong sense of justice in himself and his children would
be greatly outraged by such a public act of disgrace, and he would
by omission refuse to comply with any order of the court, an action
in which it is reasonable to suppose he would be supported by all of
his children. Whatever he did in this matter of the penalty we have
no means of determining, but it is concluded that Joseph omitted to
comply with the order of the court and left its commands to be
enforced by process of law. It is not unreasonable to suppose that
these exactions brought to the minds of Joseph's sons such a sense of
wrong and oppression, as to break down the results of their early
training, and prompt them to enter upon those acts of reprisal for
which they became extensively known and ultimately published as
outlaws.
Certain it is that, from about the time of the enforcement of this
penalty, they ceased their habits of industry and entered upon a
course of listless roving, that ended in misfortune and trouble to
them all.
128 THE DOANE FAMILY.
Much has been published from time to time through local news-
papers, and works of fiction as to their being Tories and enemies of
the country, but no official record or testimony has yet been pro-
duced to show that they or any of them ever took up arms against
the country, or carried intelligence to the enemy respecting the dis-
position or movements of the American army ; nor is it in any way
shown, other than by their neutral attitude of non-resistance, that
they ever gave aid and comfort to the mother country, and no act of
theirs has ever been shown that presented an appearance of being
other than reprisals for the recovery of property that had by the forms
of law in their estimation been unjustly taken from them. Whatever
others may have done in the way of plundering and in so doing left
the burden of the act upon the Doans that seems to melt away under
the scrutiny of close investigation.
Whatever may have subsequently transpired with respect to Joseph,
the records are entirely silent until after the robbery of the Treasury
at Newtown on the night of Oct. 22, 1781.
A complicity with this affair is charged upon him by Jesse Vickers,
who, under a promise of pardon from seutenceof death, turned state's
evidence and gave information as to the persons participating in that
robbery. Much allowance should be made for a statement where one
person seeks to save his own life by throwing guilt upon another.
His brother Solomon Vickers, who made confession at the same time,
was convicted of perjury. The statements of these two convicts in-
duce the inference that Joseph Doan, Sen., was residing on his farm
in Plumstead at the time of the commission of the robbery of the
Treasury, and knew nothing of the affair until some time after, and
that his complicity consisted in harboring his sons, Aaron and Moses,
his nephew Abraham and his kinsmen the two Vickers boys, shortly
after the robbery ; that he borrowed a small sum of money from his
son Moses and advised them to leave the place, as the robbery of the
Treasury had made a great disturbance. This occurred shortly after
the robbery in 1781, the confessions were made Aug. 7, 1782 and on
the 25th of Sept., 1783, Joseph, who had gone to seek his son Mahlon,
was arrested and placed in the jail at Bedford, Pa. On the confession
of the Vickers boys, he was denounced as a participator in the rob-
bery after the fact, also of harboring and comforting his own sons,
and a reward was offered for his arrest.
The procedure at that time, in cases where parties were charged with
offences and had not been arrested, was for the sheriff to proclaim
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 129
the fact by public outcry at the Court-house door, and command the
alleged offender to appear before the Court at that or the next term,
in default of which he was proclaimed an outlaw and liable to be at-
tainted as a traitor. It is reasonable to suppose that Joseph on his
farm in Plumstead, or as a carpenter in places even more remote, and
feeling entirely innocent of any wrongdoing, did not hear of the
proclamation against him from the Court-house steps twenty miles
distant.
It is a well settled tradition among the descendants of bis friends
in Plumstead that, for several months during the summer of 1783, he
was erecting buildings in Northampton Co. ; that, on returning to his
home early in September he found his property confiscated, his home
desolate, his family destitute, his sons fugitives and himself an out-
law ; that, learning of the place where his son Mahlon was abiding, he
journeyed thither and was arrested and confined in the jail at Bedford,
as before stated. His arrest was made Sept. 25, 1783, by one Joseph
Wilson, and his son Mahlon was arrested on the 29th by one John
Sallamon and lodged in the same prison with his father.
The Archives of the State show that on Oct. 9, 1783, the Supreme
Executive Council directed the Sheriff of Bedford County to convey
the said prisoners under an armed guard to the jail at Lancaster. The
transfer however appears not to have been accomplished, as tradition
relates that they escaped from the prison, and that before leaving
they released all the prisoners save one, who was guilty of robbing a
woman.
It also appears from the Colonial records that, later in 1783,
Joseph Doan, Sen., was again arrested and lodged in prison at New-
town, and at the March term of Court the next year, he was tried
and convicted of the heinous crime of harboring and comforting his
own children, who at a later date were charged with having partici-
pated in the robbery of the Public Treasury at Newtown. For his
offence he was sentenced to be burned in the hand and to suffer six
months imprisonment. Joseph, however, survived his sentence and
afterwards lived in Plumstead in comparative poverty. The late
Nathan Preston, a resident of that town from infancy, remembered
and described Joseph Doan as a hale and venerable old man, an habit-
ual attendant on the Meetings of Friends, that he was poor and made
a scanty living by erecting post and rail fences for the farmers. The
latest account of him in Bucks Co. is had from the minutes of the
Meeting at Buckingham of date 1799,9,2, when Hester Doan and her

husband, Joseph, applied for a certificate to remove to Canada, where
their sons Aaron and Joseph were then living. The certificate was
granted and a contribution was made by their sympathizing friends.
Later accounts show that Joseph and his wife arrived safe in Can-
ada, where they sojourned with their children many years, dying at
the home of their son Joseph, Jr.
Whatever may have been the offences of Joseph Doan and his sons
prior to the treaty of recognition of American Independence, by the
British Government, those offences were all condoned and immunity
from any consequence thereof provided and agreed upon by the two
contracting parties, both in the preliminary treaty of Nov. 30, 1782,
and by ratification of the same, done by the American Congress Sept.
3, 1783. The following is a copy of so much of the treaty as per-
tains to the subject :
There shall be no future confiscations made, nor any prosecutions com-
menced against any person or persons for or by reason of the part which
he or they may have taken in the present war, and that no person shall on
that account suffer any future loss or damage either in person, liberty or
property, and that those who may be in confinement on such charges at the
time of the ratification of the Treaty in America, shall be immediately set
at liberty, and the prosecutions so commenced discontinued.
And yet, eight days after the ratification of this Treaty by the
American Congress in Philadelphia, the Supreme Executive Council
of Pennsylvania, assembled within sound of the voices that confirmed
the Treaty, sent forth their edict that despoiled Joseph Doan of his
home, and turned his family upon the charities of the world, and still
later seared him with the hot brand of Felony, and incarcerated him
in a filthy prison for offences charged as committed during the war,
and for which the nation in accepting the terms of its Independence
contracted to grant him amnesty and entire immunity on account
thereof.

DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 131
97 ELIJAH5 DOANE (Israel,4 Daniel,3 Daniel,2 John1) was
born, probably, in Plumstead, Pa. ; but, as in the case of his brothers
and sisters, there is no public record of his birth. He married Sarah
Groves. Of Mr. Doane's early life we know nothing except that the
will of his father, made in 1787, names a grandson Samuel, son of
his son Elijah, deceased. From various sources, particularly from
his descendants, it is learned that Mr. Doane settled near Trenton,
N. J., and from them we have the names of the eight children.
Children :
Samuel,6 b. .
232 Jonathan,6 b. 1765,3,16.
233 Benjamin,6 b. 1770,11,12.
Elijah,6 b. 1773; married and settled in Ontario about 1789,
After the death of his wife, he removed to Berwick, Pa.,
where he died at an advanced age. He had no children and
his last years were spent near, and in communication with
his brothers Benjamin and Joseph and sister Elizabeth.
Joseph,6 b. ; m. Mary Conner and lived for a time near
his brother Benjamin in Berwick, Pa., but finally settled
near Jeromeville, O., abt. 1830. He had a son and a daugh-
ter both living in 1885.
Israel,6 b. ; in early life removed to Canada with his
brothers and settled in the Niagara district.
Elizabeth,6 b. ; went to Berwick with her brothers and
there married Jacob Cooper. Ch. : Jonathan, Mason,
Sarah.
Sarah,6 b. ; m. Atkinson and settled in Canada.
98 ISRAEL5 DOANE (Israel,4 Daniel,3 Daniel,2 John1) was
born in Plumstead, Bucks Co., Pa. In early manhood he married
Rachel Vickers, the daughter of Abraham and Mary (France) Vickers,
and probably a sister of Hester Vickers who married his brother
Joseph Doane, thus increasing the interest between the two brothers,
and strengthening the ties between the Doane and Vickers families.
Like his brother Joseph, Mr. Doane was a Friend by birth, antecedents
and education, and, like him, he met with the difficulties that arose
from adherence to the faith of his fathers and the sect of which he
was a consistent member and with whose doctrines and principles he
lived in unity. Israel Doane did not possess the strong, vigorous,
athletic constitution of most of the Doanes, consequently he was less
prominent than his brother. After his marriage he was a tenant of
his father's house and was in use of his father's farm. It is believed
that the death of his mother occurred about 1780, and that after this
event Israel took charge of the farm, and that his father made his
132 THE DOANE FAMILY.
home with him. The Plumstead tax-list for 1781 shows that the
father was taxed for lands only, while the son was rated as house-
holder aDd taxed for farm stock. Israel, the father, was then eighty-
three years old and doubtless had retired from business and active
life. Israel and Rachel were the parents of Abraham Doane, another
of the famous band of " Doane Brothers " of the Revolutionary
War. With his cousins, sons of his uncle Joseph Doane (96), Abra-
ham was involved in the political troubles of the times and in conse-
quence of this association Israel himself became a victim of the
circumstances of his son. Like his brother Joseph, he was charged
with harboring and aiding his son and nephews, after the robbery of
the Newtown treasury, on the night of Oct. 22, 1781. We have no
record of his arrest but infer that it occurred at his home in Plum-
stead. He was placed in the jail at Newtown and in the beginning
of August, 1782, was tried and sentenced to six months imprison-
ment, for the offence of harboring and sheltering his own son and
others whilst they were under the ban of the law. In the month of
February, 1783, after expiration of his sentence, he petitioned the
Supreme Executive Council for his release, as follows :
To the President and Members of the Supreme Executive Council of the
State of Pennsylvania.
The humble Petition of Israel Doan of the County of Bucks — Sheweth.
That your Petitioner a languishing prisoner in Newtown Gaol, has been
confined ever since the beginning of August last, and his family being in a
suffering condition, none but women and children at home capable of pro-
viding for them. There has been much sickness in his family since his con-
finement, one of his daughters being subject to very bad Fitts from her
infancy and himself often unwell in his confinement being a weakly person,
and pretty much in years, and almost twenty miles from home and being in
low circumstances and very difficult for his family to support him
Your Petitioner therefore humbly prays that you would take his distressed
condition into your consideration, and release him from confinement, and
forgive him the fine which the court has sentenced him to pay, as he is
not able to pay it
And your petitioner shall ever pray
Israel Doan
' When sentence was passed upon me I understood that my imprisonment
was to be but 6 months, but now the Gaoler says it is six months more,
which I find myself unable to go through being often unwell.
Indorsed 1783 Feb. 26
This petition was brought before the Supreme Executive Council
Feb. 26, 1783, and after consideration, dismissed. No further efforts

were made in Israel's behalf, and doubtless he died in prison. His
father, who was then a widower and eighty-four years old, sold his
farm in the latter part of that year and went to live with his daughter
Rachel Liepper who resided near by. Israel's wife Rachel, survived
him many years. Her name appears on a petition for the pardon of
her son Abraham and nephew Levi, Aug. 13, 1788. She died about
1821, at the home of her daughter Rachel Burgess who then resided
at Fallsington. Into whose care the children passed is not known,
but from their becoming widely scattered it is inferred that Israel and
Thomas were put to trades, and that the girls worked in the families
of the neighbors.

1761, Mr. Doane purchased a tract of two hundred acres of land in
Upper Makefield, later known as Jericho Hill. He was a farmer and
resided at Jericho Hill all his life and was an honest, peaceable man,
a good neighbor and respected citizen. It is thought that his wife
was a sister of Sarah Groves who married his brother Elijah Doane
(97). His personal estate inventoried at $2,931.62.

a Public House of Entertainment which hath been of great benefit to
the Fisheries." He was a prominent man in Chatham ; a selectman

of Dea. John and Hope (Howes) Rich, of Wellfleet. Married second,

after the surrender of that stronghold in 1745.* He was a prominent
man in Wellfleet and in Barnstable County ; a Justice of the Peace ;
a Colonel of militia; Precinct treasurer from 1760 to 1762; district
clerk and treasurer from 1763 to 1773 ; a Representative to the
General Court from 1766 to 1768, 1781 and 1782 ; a selectman from
1763 to 1771. He was a Massachusetts Senator for a number of
years, and it was said commanded more respect, and exerted greater
influence in that body than any other member. He was largely en-
gaged in the whale fishery in his early life, but later was occupied in
other affairs and spent the most of his time in Boston. He accumu-
lated a large fortune, estimated at £100,000. In Dwight's Travels it
is said : " Col. Doane of Wellfleet, and Thomas Boyleston of Boston
were estimated by their fellow citizens the two richest men in the
Province of Mass. Bay."
At Wellfleet he lived in as much style as the situation and times
could afford. He was famous for his hospitality and entertained
freely. There was no tavern in the town and when any stranger of
standing and respectability visited the place, he was at once invited
to become the guest of Colonel Doane, and the family papers contain
many amusing accounts of the length of time which some of the
guests found pleasurable, but with which the family were quite con-
tent. Among his wedding presents to his wife was a coach, the first
one ever seen in Wellfleet. It could be used there but little, how-
ever, on account of the poor roads, which were hardly up to that
class of carriages. The latter part of his life Colonel Doane resided
chiefly in Boston, where he was engaged in commerce, and where he
had a handsome house and delighted in receiving and entertaining
his friends. He was a man of great charm of manner, it was said,
but of strong character and the strictest integrity. His remains were
placed in the Doane Tomb, No. 12, under Kings Chapel, corner of

ied in the Duck Creek burial-ground at Wellfleet. She was a "gentle
woman, universally respected, whose death was lamented by all, es-
pecially by the poor, to whom she was a great friend."
His widow, Ann, married second, May 11, 1784, David Stoddard
Greenough, born July 31, 1752, son of Thomas and Sarah (Stoddard)
Greenough, of Boston. After the War of Independence they moved
to Jamaica Plain, then a suburb of Boston. The house in which
they lived is still occupied by their descendants, and is one of the
few surviving historic landmarks of that period. It was built in 1760
by Commodore Loring, then the chief of the British forces in Massa-
chusetts, and during the siege of Boston was occupied by General
Greene as his headquarters. The only child of David Stoddard and
Ann Doane Greenough was David Stoddard Greenough, Jr., born in
1787, who married Maria Foster Doane, daughter of Elisha and Jane
(Cutler) Doane of Cohasset, Mass. (242).

John1) was born in that part of Eastham, now Wellfleet, about 1730
and died there Mar. 28, 1808, aged 78 years. He married first, Oct.
25, 1750, Elizabeth5 Crowell, who died at Wellfleet, Mass., July 2,
1799, aged 74 years, the dau. of Paul4 Crowell of Chatham, Mass.
(John,3 John,2 John1) . Married second, Nov. 28, 1799, Sarah Cahoon
who died, at Wellfleet, June 16, 1854, aged 87 years. Mr. Doane
was a wealthy citizen of Wellfleet ; a deacon of the church ; a man
of wide influence and occupied important positions within the gift of
his townsmen. He was a Representative to the General Court three
years ; a selectman five years and town clerk four years. He was
largely engaged in the whale fishery, and before the Revolutionary
War owned sixteen sail of vessels. According to the History of
Eastham, he belonged to a crew called the "Seed Corn Gang of
Whalers ;" the others were his brother Col. Elisha Doane (103),
Joseph Higgins and Capt. Winslow Lewis. These men generally were
of the same crew, and were the most expert whalemen of the town.
Hezekiah Doane's name appears in a list of meu returned by
Winslow Lewis, chairman of selectmen and committee of Wellfleet,
Sept. 8, 1778, as drafted to serve in the Continental Army for the
town of Wellfleet, and who paid fines in lieu of service ; said Doane
reported as the father of Paul Doane.
He was buried in the Duck Creek burial-ground at Wellfleet, where
a stone with this inscription marks his grave :

son to my late son Henry Doane one quarter of a full share of my Real and
Personal estate after the decease of my wife. Howbeit if so be that either

gotten, then that part or share they or either of them was to have, shall be
divided between my two sons Joseph Doane and Elisha Doane.
Item. I give to the children of my daughter Elizabeth Harding, deceased,
one half of a full share to be divided and distributed among them after the

108 THOMAS5 DOANE (Thomas,4 Thomas,3 Ephraim,2 John1)
was born at Chatham, Mass., Mar., 1737 and died at Barrington,
Nova Scotia, May 3, 1783 (gravestone, old burial-ground, Barring-
ton Head). He married first, at Chatham, Oct. 4, 1759, Letitia
Eldredge, who died at Barrington, July 26, 1766, aged 30 years
(gravestone, old burial-ground, Barrington Head). Married second,
at Easthain, Mar. 17, 1768, Elizabeth Lewis, who died at Barring-
ton, Dec. 4, 1816 (buried on Sheroes Island), widow of Solomon
Lewis of Eastham and daughter of William and Elizabeth (Osborn)
My rick.
On his father's death in 1 747, Thomas Doane was one of five minor
orphan children, who, with their mother, Sarah, came under the pro-
tection of their grandfather, Thomas Doane, 1st, one of the wealth-
iest citizens of Chatham. The generosity, both by deed and devise,
with which the old gentleman discharged this responsibility, gave
some dissatisfaction to other members of the family, leading ulti-
mately to a contest (unsuccessful) of his will.
At an early age young Thomas began to follow the cod-fishing,
then the chief source of wealth of his native place, and in which in-
dustry Chatham led all the New England towns. The La Have,
Quireau, and other banks lying off the coast of Nova Scotia, were
then, as now, valuable and favorite places for fishing ; and from
Canseau to Cape Sable, into dozens of safe snug harbors the little
Yankee crafts were accustomed to run for shelter from the storm,
or to cure their fish. At the same time it behooved them to keep a
good anchor-watch and look out for night attacks from the French
and Indians.
So at least it was with the vessel in which our present subject,
when a lad of fifteen, found himself, as she lay at anchor one night
in Barrington Harbor — called Le Passage by the French — near Cape
Sable. Wakened by a curious sound, he discovered a party of In-
dians in canoes preparing to attack. Armed with a fish-gaff, and
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 145
giving a yell to wake his companions, he rushed to the stern and suc-
ceeded in hooking one Indian under the chin. Tbe others paddled
off in the darkness, and before the men could get from their bunks
to the lad's assistance, his " catch " wriggled off the hook into the
water and disappeared. Not so fortunate had been the fate of sev-
eral other vessels in the same place, their bones long afterwards
washing out of the western flat of Barrington Harbor, giving the only
clew to their mysterious disappearance.
The hostility existing between the Acadian French and the New
England colonists made the latter willing recruits to the militia regi-
ments which played such an important part in the " Half Century of
Conflict " which ended in the loss to France of her North American
dominions. Accordingly, it is not surprising to find Thomas Doane,
before he was of age, enlisting — and later, re-enlisting — in Capt.
Peter West's Co., on an expedition to Nova Scotia against the
French. In 1756, Captain Preble destroyed the French settlements
around Barrington aud carried away the "habitants ;" and New Eng-
enders, mostly from Cape Cod, rapidly moved in and occupied their
lands, the township of Barringtown (which includes the famous Fort
de la Tour) being laid out among eighty-four heads of families, one
of whom was Thomas Doane. It would be interesting to know how
many of these original proprietors actually assisted in the removal of
the French from that neighborhood.
" October 4, 1759, the Marriage Covenant was solemnized betwixt
Thomas Doane and Lettice Eldridge, both of Chatham, before the
Revd. Mr. Stephen Emery, Minister of the Gospel, at Chatham"
(Chat. Town Rec). In 1764, he removed with his wife to Barring-
ton, N. S., and built bis house on an island which had been the home
of a Frenchman named Chereau. It is still known as Sheroes Island.
His wife, Lettice, having died in 1766, Thomas Doane married in
1768, at Eastham, Mass., the widow Elizabeth Lewis (born Myrick).
[Eastham Book of Marriage Intentions : "Thomas Doane of Barring-
ton and wid. Elizabeth Lewis of Eastham, Feb. 22, 1768." Eastham
Book of Marriages : Thomas Doane a resident of Chatham and Eliza-
beth Lewis of Eastham were married by Rev. Joseph Crocker, March
17, 1768."] This lady's mother was Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev.
Samuel Osborn (an account of whom will be found in its appropriate
place in this book), and was at this time, by her third marriage, the
wife of Edmund Doane (35), also one of the Barrington grantees.
About this time came on the troubles between England and her

American colonies, which culminated in the Revolution. The Bar-
rington settlers, offspring, as they were, of Massachusetts — bone of
her bone, and flesh of her flesh — naturally sided with their fathers
and brothers in the Old Colony against the English. Those who
could, returned and fought for liberty. For example, the minister at
Barrington, Rev. Samuel Wood (an ancestor of the contributor of
this sketch) joined the Continental Army as chaplain, was taken
prisoner, and died in New York on the prison-ship Asia. Others,
who had all their living invested in the new settlement, remained to
protect their property and families in this isolated place, and were
preyed upon both by the British and undiscriminating American pri-
vateers. Among such sufferers was Thomas Doane, whose word and
work during this trying period were looked to and depended upon
and appreciated by the harrassed community, and whose hard losing
struggle came to an end by his death at the age of forty-six, on May
3, 1783. On the day of his funeral, the friends assembled at the
grave in the old Meeting House burying-ground at Barrington Head,
saw the fleet of transports, with disbanded soldiers and refugees from
New York, pass the mouth of the harbor on the way to settle Shel-
burne.

a farmer and lived on Cape Elizabeth, in that section known as Long
Creek and near the Long Creek bridge. On Sept. 10, 1810, he deeded
his farm at Cape Elizabeth to his son Charles, for the care and sup-
port of himself and wife, during their declining years. In the sum-
mer of 1817 they visited their son, Richard, at Durham, where his
wife, Sarah, died. She was buried there in the Trufant burial-ground,
about one-half mile from their son's farm. After her death he again
sought his old home at Cape Elizabeth, but lived only a few days
after his return.

and was a soldier in the French and in the Revolutionary wars.
He was a private in Capt. John Libbie's Co., Col. Jedediah
Preble's Regt., from Apr. 8 to Nov. 18, probably, 1758; wages
£1.1 6s per month. His name appears on a Billeting Roll, sworn to

He was a private in Captain George Berry's Co., from Apr. 1 to

Bedford Level, which gave him official rooms in the Temple. Later
in life he was connected with the public press.
They lived at New Inn Buildings, Strand, London, near to St.
Clement's church, where the children were christened. His widow
lived there many years after his death, and had a pew in that church,
but later removed to 23 Keppel street, Russell Square, London, where

117 EDWARD6 DOANE (Noah,5 Solomon,4 Samuel,3 JobV
John1) was born on Cape Cod, Dec. 25, 1770 and died at Monterey,
township of Orange, New York, July 14, 1845. He married at Well-
fleet, Mass., Jan. 17, 1797, Sarah Brown, born at Wellfleet, July 6,
1773 and died at Monterey, Mar. 28, 1860. Mr. Doane was a mar-
iner, and for many years followed the sea, in command of merchant
vessels, sailing to all the principal ports of the world. In March, 1797,
he moved, with his father, from the Cape to a farm in that part of
Petersham, set off in 1801, as the town of Dana. His family in-
creasing, and his father being well advanced in years, Captain Doane
retired from the sea, and, on Mar. 16, 1808, bought his father's farm
at Dana. On Apr. 15, 1816, he sold out and bought a dairy and
stock farm of one hundred and seventy acres, about three quarters
of a mile south of the middle of the town of Petersham. After his
sons had grown to manhood, and left home, he sold his Petersham
farm, aud bought a small place near the middle of the town. About
June 1, 1838, he again sold out, aud with his wife went to live with
their son Rufus in Monterey, N. Y. They lived in Dana nineteen
years, nine months and twenty-three days, and in Petersham twenty-
one years, and three months. He died of a cancer on the left side of
his face. They were buried in the Monterey cemetery. He was in-
dustrious and persevering; as a father, severe in the discipline of his
children, and in Dana and Petersham he was regarded as a man firm
in principles of right and justice in all business transactions. His
wife Sarah was a notable helpmeet and housewife, careful and tidy
in the extreme, anxious and watchful over the welfare of her children,
hurrying from one duty to another from early morning till late at
night. The children were taught habits of strict order and industry,
each member helping to earn the family living as far as capable almost
from childhood.

his life was caused by the straining of this limb in jumping,
while still weak from an attack of measles. At the age of
sixteen he was sent to the Suffield Academy where he re-
mained nearly two years. He then entered the employ of a
dry goods Arm in Hartford where he remained but a short
time before going to New York. There he entered the real
estate business. During the war of the Rebellion he was in-
terested with Jocelyn & Co., Brokers, and had a seat on the

until he died May 23, 1894, survived by his wife and three
daughters, Daisy Julianna, Anna Orline, and Leta Hartley.
The death of his son, Rialdo Latimer, at the age of 18 mos.
nearly unsettled his reasou, and never again was he the
bright, talented and lovable man he always had been. In
character, he was one whose genial humor and cultured
manners won for him the love and respect of all whom he
chose to charm. His friends were legion, and he possessed
the rare quality of keeping those whom he won. 6. Orlin,

den, Penobscot Co., Me., June 22, 1842. He married, first (pub-
lished at Brookfield, Mass., May 18, 1782) , Mary Myrick of Eastham.
Married, second, Abigail Libby. Mr. Doane went from Cape Cod to
Maine about 1788. In early life he was a mariner, but in later days
was a farmer. He was a Revolutionary soldier and drew a pension
for his military service.*
In Hampden the 23rd of June (1842) Amos Doane in the 85th year of his
age. A Soulier of the Revolution at the call of his country, he with a num-
ber of others from Eastham, Mass., entered the service under Captain (after-
wards Colonel) "Webb, and joined the American Army commanded by Gates
called to arrest the progress of General Burgoyue on the Hudson and was
in that hard fought battle of Sept. 19, 1776, in -which the British lost 500
men and the Americans, 320. On the 7th of Oct., the two armies met, and
on the 16th he had the pleasure to see Burgoyne surrender to General Gates.
* July 7, 1835, Amos Doane of Hampden, Me., applied for state bounty and certified that
he was 77 years old and had resided in Hampden 47 years, previous to which he was an
inhabitant of Eastham. His application for pension, in 1818, was as follows:
" I, Amos Doane of Hampden in the County of Penobscot, yeoman, aged CO do hereby
testify and say that on or about the month of Apr., 1777, I enlisted into the Revolutionary
war in Capt. Geo. Webb's Co., and Colonel Shepard's Regt., and Glover's brig., Mass. line
for the term of 9 mos. We joined our Regt., at Peekskill and went to Albany and Fort
Edward. I was at the capture of Burgoyne. We went into winter quarters at Valley
Forge Avhere I was regularly discharged on or about the 10th dav of Jan., 1778. Imme-
diately after this I enlisted again for 9 mos. in the same Co. and Regt. I continued about
3 mos. at Valley Forge, sick of a fever and the smallpox. Then we marched to Provi-
dence, R. I., at which place I received a regular discharge sometime in Oct., according to
the best of my recollection. In the month of Apr., 1779, I shipped on board an armed
vessel in the service of the government for 1 year at $8 per mo. I think the name of the
vessel was either the Eagle or the Resolution, Capt. Elijah Paine, Com. We captured
3 British ships, 1 brig and 1 schooner. I was regularly discharged at Boston. I have lost
my discharges."
Geo. Webb of Holden, Mass., testified being old and infirm, but according to his best
recollection Amos Doane enlisted in his Co. and served under him 9 mos. as a good
soldier.
172 THE DOANE FAMILY.
He served under Washington on the Hudson and in New Jersey. At the
close of the war he came to the then wilderness of Penobscot and took up
a lot of land in its original state near Hampden Corners, where he lived un-
til the day of his death. In 1783, he experienced religion, under the labors
of Rev. Joshua Hall, and joined the Methodist church of which he has been
a worthy member. He was a kind neighbor and a good citizen and died,
as he had lived, in full expectation of a blessed immortality beyond the grave.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 14, 1828. He married Apr. 19, 1783, by Rev.
Benjamin Boardman, Mary Carey, who was born on Long Island,
N. Y., Feb. 2, 1763 and died Nov. 2, 1848. His will proved Mar. 16,
1829, is on record at the Cuyahoga Co., Ohio, probate court. Mr.
Doane moved with his family from Chatham, Conn., to Herkimer
Co., N. Y., about 1794 and, during the winter of 1798, returned on a
visit to his Connecticut home. In April, 1801, he arrived with
his family in Cleveland, and in the following fall settled in Euclid.
His son, Seth, preceded him in company with his uncle Nathan-
iel. Before going to Cleveland. Mr. Doane had commanded a
vessel on salt water. On one of his trips, perhaps the last one, he
brought with him from Cuba, a deaf and dumb negro boy, who at the
time seemed to be a burden to those with whom he was living. He
was commonly called "Um " and went with Mr. Doane to Ohio where
he lived in the Doane family many years until his death. Mr. Doane
186 THE DOANE FAMILY.
was elected a Justice of the Peace while a resident of Euclid, and in
1810, became one of the Associate Judges of the county. The name
Doane was often wrongly pronounced among the early settlers in and
about Cleveland, and Mr. Doane thought to obtain a more correct
and general pronunciation of the name by omitting the last letter,
making it Doan. Two of his sons, Seth and Timothy, adopted the
same method of spelling, while his other son John, kept to the old
way. Thus it is that the descendants of the brothers Seth and Tim-
othy write their name Doan while those of John add an e, after the
original manner. (See letter of Timothy Doane Crocker in Annals
of the Early Settlers' Association, Cleveland, 1881, No. 2, p. 69.)

tract of land in payment for building a barn for Governor
Hutchinson. Dodge street now extends through a portion
of this land. The land greatly increased in value, a part of
which is still held by Mr. Dodge's descendants. Mr. Dodge
took high rank as an intelligent man and a good citizen.

sioner of insolvency, and state engineer in charge of public
works for many years. He was closely associated with the
history and progress of Cleveland, and his character all
through his public and private life was one of honor and
integrity. He was benevolent and open-hearted, and during
the war he spent his money freely in the cause of his coun-

in Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 29, 1815. He married Sarah Adams, who
was bom 1771 and died Mar. 4, 1853. His will, dated Nov. 7, 1815,
was probated Mar., 181G. His sons, Seth and Job Doane, were the
executors. He first went to Cleveland in 1796. He moved his family
there from Chatham, Conn., in 1798, and built a home on Superior
street immediately opposite Bank street, but his family were so
afflicted with fever and ague, that he moved eastward and settled in
what was afterward known as Euclid township, now a part of Cleve-
land. The immediate locality in which he lived was called " Doane's
Corners " for full eighty years thereafter, and the stream of water
near by running through Wade Park took the name of " Doane's
Creek," and is still so called. He built and kept a hotel on the north-
west corner of Euclid avenue and Fairmount street, and on the south-
west corner he built a small store. He built a blacksmith shop and
a saleratus factory, because they were needed. He was postmaster
and a Justice of the Peace for many years, and religious services
were held by him in his own house. On the organization of the first
military company in Cleveland in 1804, he was elected " First Lieu-
tenant " and the following year was chosen "Captain." He was
town clerk for some years, and in 1809 became one of the Associate
Judges of Cuyahoga County. The Doanes of Cleveland were a very
influential people, all of them well educated. Nathaniel Doane's
daughter Delia taught the first school in Euclid.

they all settled on going out into Pennsylvania, some 300 miles distant, which they did in
the winter of 1836-7. Uncle Joseph C. Doane drove the ox teams, carrying their families
and possessions on sleds. I was born in Springfield, Pa., Mar. 26, 1S37. My grandfather
named me after himself Roswell Doane Spencer, and gave me a "mooley cow," the avails
of which came to me at his death. He was a Methodist as were all his children. He con-
tributed the land in Leona on which the Methodist church now stands. — From Mr.
Roswell D. Spencer's letter.

farmer with whom he spent five years. At 19 he tried sea
life and went coasting in the sloop Peacock. One day while
" tending gib sheets" in Long Island Sound, he lost over-
board his first watch. Tiring of the sea he returned to
Connecticut, and worked in the Maromas and HaddamNeck
quarries. Later he went to Michigan where land was cheap
and bought a tract near Ypsilanti; but, in 1835, he returned
to Connecticut, married and with his father-in-law, Roswell
Doane, and brothers-in-law Isaac Phineas and Joseph Chap-
man Doane, he moved to Leona, Pa., in the winter of 1837.
The work of clearing new land was too laborious, and
brought on an illness which unfitted him for work for sev-
eral years. Returning to E. Haddam, he established a mer-
cantile business and continued there 18 years. In 1863 he
sold his property in Connecticut and went to Pennsylvania,
where he lived as a farmer and stoTekceper. Ch. : 1. Ros-

200 ISRAEL6 DOANE (Israel,5 Edmund,4 Israel,3 Daniel,2
John1) was born at Barrington, N. S., June 7, 1775 and died at
Little River, Argyle township, N. S., June 20, 1866 (buried on
the hill at Arcadia). He married, first, at Barrington, Mar. 30, 1797,
Mehetabel Kenney, who was born at Barrington, June 26, 1778 and
died after a lingering illness at Little River, May 8, 1847 (gravestone
on the Hill at Arcadia), the daughter of Isaac and Sarah (Godfrey)
Kenney, and granddaughter of Heman and Mercy (Nickerson)
Kenney of Chatham, Mass., and Barrington. Married, second, about
, Mary (Gavel) Raynard of Tusket Lakes, widow of William
Raynard and daughter of John Gavel.
Mr. Doane went with his father's family from Barrington to Little
River in June, 1781, thence to Roberts Island, Argyle township, in
1792. After his marriage he settled on a portion of his father's
place, since called " Doane's Point," on Roberts Island, where seven
of his nine children wei'e born. Selling his Argyle property to Major
McKinnon they removed to Little River where, on Mar. 4, 1816,
"Israel Doane, yeoman, of Argyle for £250 bought of John and
Hannah Kinney all and whole of the one certain lot of land situated
in Argyle, on East side of Little River bounded on N. by lands of
Stephen Larkin, E. by Burnetts Line, and W. by said River contain-
ing by estimation 170 acres, together with the dwelling house, barn
and all the salt marsh adjoining said lot."
In company with the Piukneys, George Owen and perhaps others,
Mr. Doane built, at Little River, several small vessels for the West
India trade, but with little or no financial success. In 1808, they
owned the schooner John, 32 tons ; in 1818, the brigantine Speculator,
110 tons; in 1846, the brigantine Evelina, 110 tons, which vessel,
while lying at anchor in Argyle Harbor, was driven ashore in a
September gale and became a total loss.
His first wife was the daughter of Isaac Kenney who was a mer-
chant and vessel owner at North East Point, on Cape Sable Island,
and her mother, Sarah Godfrey, was the daughter of Gideon Godfrey,
a native of Cape Cod, and one of the first settlers of Liverpool, N. S.
His second wife was the daughter of John Gavel, a Dutch Loyalist,
who went from New York to Shelburne, N. S., in 1783, thence to Tusket
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 205
Lakes in 1784 or 1785. She outlived her husband and spent her last
years at the home of Smith Lent, on her father's old homestead at
Tusket Lakes, where she was born. Sabine's Loyalists says : " John
Gavel of New York at the peace accompanied by his family of six
persons, went from New York to Shelburne, where the Crown granted
him one town lot."

202 SUSANNAH6 DOANE (Israel,* Edmuud,4 Israel,3 Daniel,2
John1) was born at Little River, Argyle township, N. S., May 5,
1782 and died on Roberts Island, N. S., June 15, 1877 (buried old
burial-ground near Baptist church). She married at Barrington, by
her uncle, Samuel O. Doane, Justice of the Peace (87), Dec. 17, 1801,
her cousin, Prince Doane Kenuey, who was born at Barrington, Jan.
13, 1780 and died suddenly on Roberts Island on the morning of
Nov. 27, 1863 (buried old burial-ground near Baptist church), the son
of Heman and Ruth (Doane) Kenney, and grandson of Edmund Doane
(35). They settled first in Barrington, that part known as "Doctors
Cove," where all their children were born, and where the two oldest
died and were buried. In Apr., 1826, they moved to Roberts Island
and settled on a portion of her father's farm. They lived with her
father's family until Jan., 1827, when they moved into their new
house, which stood in the field a little south of the house now occu-
pied by their son, James M. Kenuey. He was interested in the
building of several small vessels. For many years he was master of
craft in the West India and coasting trade. It is claimed that he
was the first captain to sail a vessel from the port of Barrington, to the
West Indies. His old account books give evidence that he kept a
store of West India and other supplies and was in trade, to some
extent, with his neighbors at Barrington.
His wife was a member of the Argyle Baptist church. She was
immersed, when well advanced in years, in the harbor off Doane's
Point, by Rev. A. W. Barss. She was deeply interested in the his-
tory of her family and would talk for hours, of the recollections of
her childhood.
Children, all born at Barrington :

Labrador, on a vessel owned by, and in charge of his father.
In Oct., 1826, he sailed from Halifax for Quebec, with a
cargo of sugar and was wrecked on the coast of Anticosti,
and he and his crew were seven days without food. In
1833, in carrying out the anchor of his vessel, "to heave her
off," he was dragged over the stern of the boat and carried
to the bottom of the sea with the anchor, which struck in
such a manner that he cleared himself, and, by means of
the cable climbed to the surface and back into his boat.
In the latter part of his life, he lived in Woodstock, N. B.,
near some of his relatives.
iv Fla villa,7 b. Apr. 1, 1810; m. Warren Goodwin.
v Reuben Cahoon,7 b. July 30, 1812. "He went away to sea
when eighteen years of age. For years after leaving he
wrote regularly to his relatives, then a few years passed
without any word from him. Later, a Capt. Coffin of Bar-
rington, who was on a whaling voyage, wrote from some
port on the Pacific coast, that Reuben had been on board of
his vessel and stayed over night ; that he was an officer of
a whaling ship, and then talked of returning home to
Argyle. That was the last trace of Reuben."

204 HERVEY6 DOANE (Samuel O.,5 Edmund,4 Israel,3
Daniel,2 John1) was born at Barrington, N. S., Feb. 15, 1779, and
was lost at sea Dec. 4, 1799. He possessed fine natural abilities.
Specimens of his penmanship, drawings and composition have been
preserved. It was his purpose on attaining his majority, to ente1'
the school in Boston conducted by his uncle William Payne ; but, a
little more than two months before he reached his twenty-first birth-
day he was lost with his schooner The Barrington, on passage from
Shelburne to Barrington. The vessel was sighted off the mouth of
Barrington Harbor, driving before a heavy snowstorm and doubtless
she foundered in the gale. After Hervey Doane's death several pieces
of his composition were sent to Mr. Payne in Boston, and in response
the following lines were written by Eloise Richards Payne, the tal-
ented sister of the author of " Home, Sweet Home : "
And hast thou seen what strikes the fancy here?
Again these speaking pages well explore,
Then drop with me the heart dissolving tear
The dear, dear youth that wrote them, is no more.
Could Genius, Virtue, Harmony and Truth
Secure their residence from early fate?
Thou must have died, O much lamented youth !
But life with thee had borne a longer date.
Farewell ! no more thy graceful form we see ;
The powers of genius all inactive lie,
'Tis thus the wisest and the best shall be,
But works like thine, O Hervey, never die.

Co., 1862, 7, 2 in the 93rd year of her age. Mr. Doane's father died
in Nov., 1760, and his mother remarrying, the three children were
placed under the care of their uncle, Edward Dyer of Northampton,
Pa. After his marriage to Mary Plumley, Mr. Doane settled first
in Northampton, where they lived a few years, and where their first
three children were born. About 1797 they moved into Byberry
township, Philadelphia Co., Pa., where their other children were
born. In 1817 they removed to Jefferson Co., Ohio, and thence in
1820 to Muskingum Co., where they purchased a farm on which they
spent their remaining years.

vived. On Sept. 30, 1901, she celebrated, at the home of
her nephew, Wm. P. Doane, at Young Hickory, O., the
105th anniversary of her birth, and is doubtless the oldest
living descendant of Dea. John Doane. She has lived in
three centuries, under the administration of every Presi-
dent of the United States and cast her first vote when over
one hundred years old at a school election. About 1817,
she moved with her parents from Pennsylvania to Jefferson
Co., O. Here she became engaged to James King of Penns-
ville, but upon the death of her father she told her be-
trothed that she would not marry during the lifetime of
her mother. She and her mother removed to Meigs town-
ship, O., shortly after, where the mother died. In 1862,
the long separated lovers again met, and were married after
a betrothal of forty years, the bride lacking only a few
days of being 66 years old.

Pa., Rebecca Fincher, the daughter of Eli and Rachel (Moffett)
Fincher. In early manhood Mr. Doane went to Larrys Creek and
built a sawmill. This mill he afterwards sold, and started for the
West in company with one Solomon Cutler. It is said that on the way
Solomon stole Daniel's money and left him penniless on the road.
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 219
From one of the sons we learn that Mr. Doane migrated West-
ward in the fall of 1814, and settled at Harrison's Landing on the
Ohio river, but later removed to Vevay, Ind. It is claimed by the
descendants, that Mr. Doane and two of his sons were soldiers in
the War of 1812. The oldest son, Josiah, was drafted. The second,
Jonathan, being too young to be drafted, volunteered and, being
somewhat athletic, was accepted. Josiah becoming sick, and unable
to remain in service, the father offered himself and was accepted as
his substitute.

220 THE DOANE FAMILY.
215 AMOS LEE6 DOANE (John,5 Daniel,4 Daniel,* Daniel,8
John1) was born in the Munsey Settlement, near Larrys Creek, Pa.,
1780,3, 31 and died at Larrys Creek 1857, 11, 8. He married first,
1802, 11,2, MartbaStaats, who died at Larrys Creek after a protracted
illness, the daughter of Peter Staats. Married second, 1814, 3, 24,
Catherine Valentine, who was born 1793, 2, 2 and died at Larrys
Creek 1872, 4, 4, the daughter of Henry and Anna Mary (Peterman)
Valentine. Mr. Doane was born in the Quaker meeting-house of the
Munsey Settlement, where his mother had taken refuge, after her
flight from the Indians who that morning had captured her husband at
their home in Larrys Creek, near the present town of Williamsport,
Pa. He settled first in Williamsport where he lived about fifteen
years, working at his trade of blacksmithing, after which he removed
to Larrys Creek. A few years after his second marriage he became
unsettled in business and removed to a country place about midway
between Dummertown and Jersey Shore, villages farther up the Sus-
quehanna river. From there he removed to Dummertown and again
to Salem in Clinton Co., thence to Nittany Valley and finally in
1844 to Larrys Creek, where he died. He was buried there near his
home, and, until a few years ago, his grave was reverently shown to
his kindred, by his aged daughters, who spoke in endearing terms of
their father, and exhibited with admiration samples of his handicraft
which, for beauty of workmanship, are hardly equalled by the mechan-
ical shops of the present day.

216 ELEAZER6 DOANE (John,5 Eleazer,4 Daniel,3 Daniel,2
John1) was born at Haycock township, Bucks Co., Pa., 1742, 12, 10
and died at Plumstead, Pa., in 1811. He married, about 1769, Mary
Kinsey, who was born 1752, 12, 8 and died at Plumstead, 1837, 9,
aged 84 years 11 mouths, the daughter of Jonathan and Jemima
(Heston) Kinsey, of Buckingham. Both he and his wife were mem-
bers of the Society of Friends at Buckingham, but to avoid the
publicity of marriage before the Meeting they were married privately.
For this they were called to account by the Elders and, after making
respectful acknowledgments, were restored to membership at the
Meeting held 5 mo. 1771. Mr. Doane settled first in Haycock
township, where he lived until 1788, when he purchased the property
known as the old Price Tavern in Plumstead, to which he removed
and kept an Inn until his death. In Apr., 1811, Mary and Jonathan
Doane, widow and son of Eleazer Doane, deceased, applied for and
obtained an order of court to sell the Inn and forty acres of land, and
under this order the farm and tavern at Plumstead were sold to
Philip Nice. By reason of assertions in the confessions of Jesse aud
Solomon Vickers, Eleazer Doane was brought under the ban of sus-
picion, and charged with complicity with the Doane brothers in their
raids upon tax collectors. He was indicted and tried Mar. 3, 1784
for inciting his kinsman, Moses Doane (227) to rob Nicholas Grover,
and for receiving and harboring him and George Sinclair after the
said robbery was committed, but the evidence not beiug sufficient to
satisfy the jury, he was acquitted.

sold his southern plantation and moved his family to Clinton Co.,
Ohio, arriving 1804, 11,4. There he purchased two hundred and
thirty-eight acres of land on Todd's Fork, at one dollar and a half
per acre, and built the first brick house in the county. He donated
the lands for the public buildings of Wilmington in 1810, and by his
energetic spirit of enterprise, developed the resources of the new
country, and increased the prosperity of himself and family, until
its members were recognized as the leading spirits of Clinton county.
He was a county commissioner from 1810 to 1818 ; he donated the
two lots upon which the schoolhouse at Wilmington was built and
employed the first teacher, Isaac Garretson. He was one of the com-
mittee employed to build the first Court House and, in 1836, two
years before his death, be is on record as security for the man build-
ing the new Court House and jail. The old Wilmington records
speak of Mr. Doane as "a man of genial presence who enjoyed life.'
Both he and his wife were members of the Society of Friends all
their lives, and their first ten children are recorded on the register of
the Cane Creek Monthly Meeting.

it or not. I expected that thee would have scut me a full aecouut of it. I have heard
that thee has missed many good bargains in land waiting for me. But I want thee to
suit thyself and not wait for me for I don't know when I shall come, for I have not sold
as yet and I don't know whether I can sell or not, for there is a great narration of the
proprietor coming In for his land which would discourage some from buying. But I am
not scared yet and don't think there is any danger. I want thee to settle thyself where
thee thinks it will be a good settlement so I may have a good place to come to. For let
thee settle where thee wiU in those parts I shall come to thee before I purchase and
likely we may be neighbors again. Robert Carter told me that there was a tract of land
on the Little Miami of about thirteen hundred acres, good land and well watered, lies
well, and that thee thinks if I would come out and join thee we could buy it, but not let
us bid too high at iirst for $2600 is a great sum. So no more about that. Our crop of
corn is very light. Our wheat is good. Flax is very short, for we have had a dry sum-
mer. Our creek mills are almost stopped, so that some of us have been obliged to go to
the river mills. I have had the ague and John, William and Jesse have had it middling
bad, but we have all got well So no more at present, only we remember our love to you
all and would be glad if thee would write to us by every opportunity to inform me of
the aecouut that I have signilied to thee.

Blount counties, Tenn. In the autumn of 1815 they removed to Paoli,
Orange Co., Ind., and in 1820, to AVhite Lick, Ind. A principal
cause of his removal from the South was his hatred of human slavery,

224 JOHN6 DOANE (Ebenezer,5 Joseph,4 Daniel,3 Daniel,2
John1) was born in Bucks Co., Pa., 1768, 10, 3 and died near Onta-
rio, Canada, 1852, 11, 8. He married 1794, 10, 15, Elizabeth Stock-
dale, the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (Smith) Stockdale. He
and his brother Ebenezer (226) learned the carpenter's trade, serving
an apprenticeship of seven years each, with their oldest brother Jon-
athan (221). They all were skilful workmen. John Doane became
a master builder and carried on an extensive business in Bucks
county.
From John Doane's granddaughter :
" I well remember my grandfather. He distinctly remembered the battle of
Trenton, Dec. 26, 1776. He also remembered the excitements attendant upon
the news of the battle of Princeton and Germantown. He remembered see-
ing Washington's army encamped for a day and night upon the farm adja-
cent to that upon which his parents were living. At a proper age he was
placed as an apprentice to learn the trade of a carpenter with his eldest
brother, Jonathan, the same who became the father of the late Bishop George
W. Doane of New Jersey. This trade then included the skill of a joiner or
as it is now termed cabinet maker. He often spoke of having assisted in the
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 229
erection of buildings in Philadelphia as well as in the country. He subse-
quently purchased a farm on the Delaware River in Bucks Co., where he
carried on farming in addition to carpentering. I remember hearing him
speak of having to cross the Delaware to New Jersey with his hearse to at-
tend some funerals. He married 1794, 10, 15, Elizabeth, daughter of Joseph
and Elizabeth (Smith) Stockdale, by whom there were four children born in
Bucks Co., one of whom, Sarah, died there. He with his family removed
in 1807 to Canada, travelling across the country in canvas-covered wagons.
They were about sis weeks on the journey, and arrived at their destination
June 1, 1807. There they purchased a tract of 200 acres known as Lot 94 on
Yonge street, King township, York Co., for which they paid $8 per acre. It
is situated about 28 miles north of Toronto. At an early date they exhibited
their fealty to the Society of Friends, as shown by this extract from records
of the Meeting at Yonge street, June 18, 1807. " John Doan with Elizabeth
his wife and three minor children, presented their certificates from the
Meeting of Friends at Buckingham, Pa., bearing date 6th of 4th mo. 1807,
which was read and accepted.
" I well remember my grandfather's description of the first dwelling they
occupied in Cauada. It was what was known as shed roof, covered with
split basswood logs. When their effects were placed in order so as to save
all the space possible there was only one square yard of floor unoccupied.
In 1807, the Friends in that locality built a frame meeting-house. The mem-
bers gave material and subscribed $16, and John Doan was appointed general
supervisor. The first Lombardy poplar tree, now so numerous in this re-
gion, was a branch cut from a tree in Bucks Co. and used as a cane by John
Doan in his journey to Canada. He planted it there on Yonge St., and to
the surprise of everyone it budded and grew to a large tree. To that cane
Cauada is indebted for all her Lombardy poplars, so greatly admired.
At the first township meeting of King, Mar. 6, 1809, John Doan was
elected Pound Keeper. In a return of the inhabitants of the county, Mar. 28,
1809, there were thirty-three heads of families. Five of them were Doaus,
consisting of John Doan and his three brothers, William, Mahlon, Ebenezer
and their father, Ebenezer, who was son of Joseph and Mary of Wrightstown,
Pa., he who was celebrated in the ' walking purchase ' of Bucks Co. Dur-
ing the war of 1812 John Doan adhered strictly to the Quaker principle of
peace. At that time produce rose to an extravagant price, so that it was
almost out of reach of the poor. I have been told by the early settlers, that
John Doan was never known to sell a bushel of grain or produce of any
kind at the high prices occasioned by war, but always at the price-rate before
the war commenced. One incident relating to the subject, and in which he
was an actor, is here related. An English officer hearing that Mr. Doau had
a quantity of flour in store came to him and said, ' Mr. Doan, I hear you
have a large quantity of flour for sale, if so, I will purchase all you have at
the highest market price.' The reply was, 'has thee got the money to pay
for it ?' ' Why certainly, or I would not have the face to make you the
offer.' 'Well,' rejoined Mr. Doan, 'if thee has got the money to pay for
it, thee may go somewhere else to buy, I keep my flour to sell to them who
cannot afford to pay the war prices.'
230 THE DOANE FAMILY.
" Two of John Doan's sons took an active part in the McKenzie Rebellion
of 1838. We have, in our possession, boxes, rings and other trinkets made
by them with pocket-knives from pieces of stove wood, during their im-
prisonment. These we show with considerable pride, as pieces of work-
manship done by members of our family in a confinement arising from a
fruitless struggle for individual rights in the cause of liberty."

young manhood did business in Savannah. After the death of his wife
he returned to Bucks county and in May, 1808, in company with his
father, brothers and sister moved from Bucks Co. to Canada, carrying
all their effects in a four-horse wagon. After a toilsome journey of
six weeks they reached their destination, and settled on Lot 96, about
twenty-two miles North of Toronto. In 1818, 5th mo. he removed
to Gwillingbury and settled on Lot 13 where they resided until his
death.

227 MOSES6 DOANE (Joseph,5 Israel,4 Daniel,3 Daniel,2 John1)
was born at Plumstead, Bucks Co., Pa., about 1752, and was shot
and instantly killed, by Robert Gibson, at Halsey's tavern in Plum-
stead, Sept. 1, 1783. He married Rachel Tomlinson, who was born
1759, 5, 20, the daughter of Joseph and Margaret (Cook) Tomlinson.
He was probably the eldest of the children of Joseph and Hester
(Vickers) Doane. He with his brothers Joseph (228), Aaron (229),
Levi (230) and Mahlon (231), and their cousin Abraham Doane (234)
son of their uncle Israel, formed that band known in the Revolution-
ary history of Bucks Co. as the " Tory Doans." A leader by nature,
and probably possessing greater natural abilities than any of the
others, Moses was the master spirit of them all, and always appeared
as the captain of the band. He was engaged in several of the acts
of reprisal, prominent and first among which was the raid on the
night of Oct. 22, 1781, upon the county treasury at Newtown* of
"•The robbery of the county treasury by the Doans and their confederates, In the fall
of 17S1, was one of the exciting events of the day. John Hart, then treasurer, lived in the
house that lately belonged to Abram Bond in the lower part of the village (Newtown).
232 THE DOANE FAMILY.
which John Hart was the custodian. Jesse Vickers in his confession
says that Moses Doane was present at the robbery of the treasury,
and also names him as having been connected with many of the irreg-
ularities that occurred about that time. On the 30th of June, 1783,
Moses is named in the proclamation offering a reward for the arrest
of persons charged with robbing collectors during the preceding
month. He is again named in the proclamation of July 26, 1783,
when an hundred pounds specie is again offered for the arrest of these
offenders.
On the occasion of Moses' death it appears that he, with Abraham
and Levi Doane with others of the party, forced by hunger from their
cave on the Tohickon, ventured to the cabin of a confederate named
Halsey, at Gallows Run in Plumstead. The family needing some
flour, sent a boy to the mill near by, who innocently informed the
miller that the^Doanes were at the cabin. The miller went to a vendue
near by and informed the people of the presence of the Doanes at
Halsey's. About fourteen volunteered under the lead of Colonel Hart
and Major Kennedy for their capture. They surrounded the cabin.
Hart, Kennedy and Grier were selected to enter and, upon approach-
ing it, saw the Doanes through the chinks in the logs, eating at a
table, with their guns standing near. Hart opened the door and com-
manded them to surrender, when the Doanes seized their arms and
Early in the evening Moses Doan rode through the Town to see if the situation was
favorable, and about ten o'clock the house of the treasurer was surrounded and Mr. Hart
made prisoner. While sentinels kept watch outside and over the treasurer, others of the
gang ransacked the house. Then obtaining the keys of the treasurer's office, and one of
them putting on Mr. Hart's hat, and carrying his lighted lantern as was the treasurer's
wont, the robbers went to the office where they stole all the public money to be found.
They got in all £735,17.19^ in specie and £.1307 in paper. That night they divided the
spoils at the Wrightstown schoolhouse : — Davis' History of Bucks County.
The Doans of Bucks Co., near Doylestown, were also the terror of their day. They were
quite as famous in that section of country and about the Philadelphia lines as any hero of
the Revolution. Their father was a man of good estate, and he and his children of good
reputation. When the war came on they proposed to remain neutral, but because of
their non-attendance on militia drafts and refusing to pay fines, they had their property
sold occasionally and themselves harassed. They got inflamed with their neighbors and
Revolutionary rulers and as they found themselves subjected to legal imposts and pen-
alties, five brothers of them set out to live in highways and hedges and wage a predatory
and retaliatory war upon their persecutors. They were men of fine figures and address,
elegant horsemen, great runners and leapers and excellent at stratagem and escapes.
They delighted to injure public property, but did no injury to the weak, the poor or the
peaceful. They were in league with the British while in Philadelphia and acted as occa-
sional spies. They became of so much importance as to have £300 apiece set on their
heads. They went generally on horseback, sometimes separate, sometimes together with
accomplices. Once with twenty-five mounted men they robbed John Hart, the treasurer
of Bucks Co., of all the public money. Some of them were occasionally apprehended but
as often broke jail. — Watson's Annals of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania in the Olden
Time.

fired. One of the bullets knocked a splinter from Grier's gun, which
struck Kennedy in the back giving him a mortal wound. Hart seized
Moses Doane, threw him down and bound him, when Robert Gibson
rushing into the cabin shot Doane in the breast, killing him instantly.
It is said that Gibson was not voluntarily one of the party, but was
suspected of being implicated with the Doanes in their illgotten gains,
and it is supposed he shot Moses to close his mouth against the utter-
ance of testimony against himself.
During the melee Abraham and Levi Doane escaped through a
window at the back of the cabin. The wife of Halsey was at that
side, and Abraham fearing that in his effort to get away he would be
discovered and fired upon, ran up to the frightened woman, caught
hold of her clothing, placed himself in front of her and raised her
on his back. With this strange shield over his person, he started on
a run to reach his horse. He effected his purpose in safety, although
within range of the rifles of Hart's party, who were prevented from
firing for fear of injuring the woman.
The body of Moses was carried to the Hart tavern and thrown
down on the kitchen floor. In the morning it was sent to his grand-
father Israel Doane (40) in Plumstead, who buried it in a secluded
spot on his farm, where the mound and small stones marking his
grave were still visible only a few years ago. That was a sorrowful
funeral. It is related that Moses' little dog came running forward
and looked down into the grave after the coffin had been lowered,
whining most piteously as if holding a last farewell with his master.

228 JOSEPH6 DOANE (Joseph,5 Israel,4 Daniel^ Daniel,**
John1) was born at Plumstead, Bucks Co., Pa., 1752, 4, 1 and died
at Walpole, Haldimand Co., Ontario, Canada, in 1844. He married his
cousin Mary Doane, daughter of his uncle Israel (98) about 1780.
She was bom probably at Plumstead, 1766, 7, 27 and died at her
daughter Mary Waggoner's in Walpole about 1850. She had be-
come blind through cancer on her face, though the immediate cause
of her death was a fall over a chair. Joseph Doane acquired an
education above that of the average young man of his time, and
taught the school of his neighborhood. He was one of the band of
" Tory Doans " and his name appears in the Proclamation of Sept.
13, 1783. In Day's Historical Collections of Pennsylvania it is stated
234 THE DOANE FAMILY.
that Squire Shaw was attacked, robbed and brutally treated by the
Doanes. For this offence the neighbors organized and the raiding
party were pursued and overtaken near the Skippack Creek in Mont-
gomery Co., where a skirmish took place, in which Joseph, the school-
master, was shot through the cheek, captured* and lodged in jail in
Newtown, the county seat. From Shallus Tables of Chronological
Events, published in 1819, we learn that on the 30th of March, 1784,
Joseph was arraigned for trial before the court at Newtown, convicted
and sentenced to be hanged. Pending the execution of the sen-
tence, he made his escape from prison and found refuge in New
Jersey where, under an assumed name, he again taught school.
The Federal government had offered a reward for him, or any of
his brothers dead or alive, and while in a neighboring tavern one
evening Joseph heard a man say that he would shoot any of the
Doanes on sight for the sake of the reward. Doane's school bills
were quietly settled and preparations soon made for removal to
Canada. Before leaving the country, however, he made a farewell
visit to his old home in Bucks Co., and while there was recognized
by a neighbor who seized and threw him to the ground. At a dis-
advantage during the tussle Joseph managed to draw a penknife
from his pocket, which by aid of his teeth he opened and with it
wounded his adversary in the neck, inflicting a wound which perma-
nently affected the man's speech. Regaining his footing Joseph, like
the good Samaritan, bound up his assailant's wound with his hand-
kerchief, advised him to seek help at the nearest house, and then pro-
ceeded on his way to Canada. On arriving in Canada, about 1790,
he settled first in Humberstone township, Co. of Welland, and lived
on the Lake Shore near Fort Erie. Here he resumed his teaching in
which he prospered and acquired an excellent reputation among his
* To the Honorable His Excellency the President and other Members of the Supreme
Executive Council of the State of Pennsylvania:
The Petition of the Subscribers, inhabitants of Bucks Co., humbly sheweth That your
honorable board was pleased to issue your Proclamation of Juue 30, 173:5, offering a re-
ward of £100 for each and every of the persons convicted of robbing the collectors of
Public Taxes in this State. After the date of which Proclamation your petitioners did
apprehend and secure Joseph Doau, Junr. who now stands convicted of the fore men-
tioned crime. We therefore petition that it might please your Honors to grant us an order
on the State Treasurer for obtaining the promised reward or to notify us in what other
way we may obtain it. And your petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray.
We do order and appoint Col. Robert Robinson, Amos Thomas and Josias Ferguson to
receive and divide to each person their equal share of said reward.

patrons. About 1815, he removed to the township of Walpole about
forty miles distant from Humberstone, where he purchased a farm of
two hundred acres, said to lie " in as pretty a section as can be found
in all Canada." In early life in Canada he was known as an out-
spoken man, with an inveterate hatred of all Americans, who as a
people, he said, had oppressed and persecuted him and his kindred.
When the American Army lauded at Fort Erie in the War of 1812,
Joseph was pointed out as a man inimical to the American interests,
and, though not in arms, was seized, made a prisoner of war and sent
to Greenbush, N. Y., where they kept him confined for eighteen
months, and where through exposure and hunger he"\surr'ered all but
death.
In 1823 Joseph Doane returned on a visit to his relatives in Bucks
Co., and it is said with the purpose of obtaining the value of his
father's confiscated farms. No such suit was ever instituted, but it
is understood that he brought suit for a small sum through Squire
Shaw,* whose father he had formerly robbed, against an old Quaker
neighbor. The meeting between the plaintiff and defendant was an
amusing one. The conversation on both sides was in the plain lan-
guage of Friends, nevertheless they abused each other most roundly,
the one, alleging his authority from government to blow the other's
brains out, or take him dead or alive, and the other, claiming his
money so long unjustly delayed.

" Of the father Doane, I do not know auy thing save that he lived in Plum-
stead adjoining lands to my grandfather's, and though of Quaker descent, he
* Extract from letter from Mr. Walter Shanley of Montreal :
" In Day's Historical Collections of Penna., mention is made of Refugee Joseph Doans
appearing before Squire Shaw as a ' poor, degraded broken down old man.' The fact is
Joseph Doan was at that time the owner of a good farm of 200 acres, the work of his own
hands, and his whole career in Canada was one of industry, honest hard work and thrift.
He brought up a family of seven children, worthy and respectable, and even when over
eighty years of age when his farm was divided between his two sons Joseph and Abra-
ham, he would still work. It seems that beside being a schoolmaster, his son Abraham
says, that for years in New Jersey and afterwards in Humberstone his father was by
trade a carpenter and cooper. Till nearly ninety years of age he worked at his trades in
a shop of his own and apparently from sheer love of toil. He was no ' scoundrel' as
Mr. Day chooses to call him and in no sense was he 'degraded' or ' brokendown,' but
full of courage and vitality to the last, and, by all accounts gathered from those who knew
him, of a singularly independent and fearless character. It is quite likely that he faced
Squire Shaw, and the old Quaker neighbors with whom he had the suit, with the fear-
lessness of a man who knew he had right on his side. Joseph Doan, the ' Refugee,' was
a man of strong feeling, great independence of character and possessed of moral and
physical courage, and during his more than fifty years of life in Canada, was a respected
citizen in a God-fearing community."
236 THE DOANE FAMILY.
was of a rather hasty and passionate disposition. Yet on the whole a very
good neighbor. Of the sons Moses, Levi, Aaron, Joseph and Mahlon, and
the daughter Polly, all were born on the old homestead. I have often heard
my old grandfather say that they were the smartest and finest family of boys
raised in that neighborhood, and continued so, till the troublous times of the
Revolution broke out, and even after this until their father, like many
others, was despoiled of his goods by men calling themselves Whigs. When
this oppression became unbearable the boys, now active able men, began to
retaliate by severely whipping Colonel Robinson, Captain Shaw and others,
and thus rendered themselves obnoxious to the Whig party generally. From
this period matters grew worse on both sides until the Doans were practi-
cally outlawed. Moses was surprised and caught on the banks of the To-
hickon I think, by Colonel Hart, who had him down. While being tied one
Gibson came up and shot him dead under Hart's arm. He was then thrown
across a horse and brought to Plumsteadville amidst great rejoicings at the
capture of the leader of the gang. Abram and Levi were arrested, tried,
convicted and executed. Their bodies were buried in the woods of the
Plumstead Quaker Meeting house. It was currently reported that both of
them to show their activity jumped over a six feet pump in the jail yard,
with their weights on. I now come to Joseph who is the only one I ever
saw, a portly, good looking, active, intelligent man of seventy -two years,
straight as an Indian, very nearly six feet high and had travelled on foot
all the way from Canada to Plumstead, a distance of over four hundred miles.
I saw him at different times place his hand on the top rail of an ordinary
fence and spring over it like a man of twenty. About his arrest, I will give
his own version as nearly as I can remember. It took place in Montgomery
Co., somewhere on the banks of the Skippack Creek, where they had a ren-
dezvous in which they were suddenly surprised and obliged to take to their
horses sans ceremonie. Unfortunately for Joseph, his own horse, in the con-
fusion, was taken for another, and he was obliged to mount an inferior one
that could not run well. In the flight they scattered through a corn-field, the
corn at the time being in full tassel, the pursuers meantime firing upon them.
Joseph was hit by one of these shots which grazed his chin, shattered his
lower jaw to some extent and knocked away some of his teeth. In jumping
the fence his horse stumbled and himself was thrown to the ground, in con-
sequence of which he was obliged to surrender. The rest escaped. He was
then taken to Newtown jail, tried, convicted and sentenced to death. Joseph
in his narrative further says : ' Sometime after this my wife paid me a
visit bringing an auger, rope, file and case knife in her clothes, which I care-
fully concealed. With the file I converted the knife into a saw and with it
sawed off my irons, then bored off the lock and got into the yard, where I
attached a heavy stone to the end of the rope, and threw it over the wall and
by this means I scaled the wall and was free. How glorious I felt, and with
what a vim I started off on a run when the first thing I knew I was tumbling
headlong into a quarry, falling head foremost a distance of twenty feet upon
the rocks at the bottom. I had seen this quarry daily from my prison
window, but in the joyous enthusiasm of again being free I had forgotten

it. As soon as I was able I crawled out as well as I could, and by great
effort got to the house of one Vandergrift, roused him from bed and induced
him to secrete me until the pursuit was over. A large straw stack in the barn
yard furnished the needed asylum. We pulled a batten out of the side, and
I worked a convenient opening on the inside so that before morning I was
safely housed by putting the batten back into the hole. Vandergrift fed me
at night, and I spent between two and three weeks in this seclusion, and
when I felt well enough I left my straw house, and went by night into one
of the upper counties of New Jersey, where I raised a school in order to get
a little money. I boarded at the village tavern where I felt comparatively
safe until one day on opening the door to enter the bar room I saw Colonel
Robinson sitting there, fortunately for me, with his back toward the door.
I quietly closed the door, stepped back and went auother way. My equanim-
ity was disturbed and I felt that this was no place for me. I now plead in-
disposition, closed my school, collected what money I could and made my
way into Canada. My brother Aaron had preceded me and we have lived
there ever since.' Joseph was well informed in political and other matters,
a good conversationalist and a strong advocate of the Canadian government.
He and my father sat up one whole night discussing the relative merits of
the two forms of government. Joseph also visited the old farm and many
of the places that had formerly been known to him, expressing great pleas-
ure at the changes and improvements that had been made. He also visited
Captain Shaw in Doylestown, the man who had been so cruelly whipped, and
they talked over their old reminiscences of the Revolution, and Joseph re-
marked with pleasure of the urbanity and courtesy of the old captain."

John1) was born in Plumstead, Bucks Co., Pa. and died in Humber-
stone, Welland Co., Ontario, Canada. He married, in Humberstone,
Rhoda Cook.
According to the confession of the Vickers boys, he was concerned
in the robbery of the Bucks county treasury at Newtown,* in the raid
upon collectors Barton of Buckingham, Keith of Makefield and
others. In consequence of participation in those robberies, he came
under the Proclamation of Sept. 13, 1783, and was arrested in Balti-
more Co., Md. about the middle of Aug., 1784, and conveyed by his
captors, Joseph McClennan and Amos Ogden, to the jail in Phila-
delphia. Being identified by Capt. Robert Gibson he was held for
trial on the charge of outlawry, tried, convicted and condemned to be
hanged in Sept., 1784, but shortly after his conviction, he addressed
the following petition to the Supreme Executive Council.

To His Excellency Jno Dickenson
Esq. Govornor of the State of Pennsylvania.
This petition was supplemented by a second one in November of
the next year as follows :
To His Excellency the President & the Hon'ble the Supreme Executive
Council of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania :
The Petition of Aaron Doane a languishing Prisoner in the Jail of the City
and County of Philadelphia,
Most humbly sheweth,
That your Petitioner unfortunately fell under the Suspicion of this Hon'ble
Board as being an Accomplice in the Robbery of the Treasurer of Bucks
Co., in the year 1781 or thereabouts, for which supposed Crime he was
called on by Proclamation of this Honorable Board to surrender himself a
prisoner and undergo his Trial for the same. That not being well advised
he neglected to do so whereby he became outlaw'd or attainted & with sev-
eral others was afterwards apprehended & brought before the Hon'ble the
Supreme Court and asked what he had to say why Judgment of Death
should not pass upon him; that having unadviseadly suffered his Time pre-
scribed to expire without a surrender of his person, his Innocense of the
Fact stood him in no stead and not being able to deny that he was the per-
son prescribed under his Name Judgment of Death was accordingly passed
on him & he has now remained in Jail under a heavy Load of Irons upwards
of fifteen months. Your Petitioner most solemnly declares his Innocense
of the said Fact & his utter Ignorance of the Time manner and Persons who
committed the said Robbery except from Information he has had since his
Confinement, and for the Truth of this Declaration he appeals to the con-
fession of Robert Johnson Steel one of the Persons who was actually Guilty
240 THE DOANE FAMILY.
& has been pardoned, who declared before his Honor the Chief Justice & is
now ready to repeat it before this Honorable Board, that your Petitioner
was not a party nor privy to sd Robbery.
Your Petitioner therfore, most humbly prays that this Hon'ble Board will
be pleased to take his Case into their Consideration & extend their Clemency
to him, in as much as so long & grievous an Imprisonment may justly be
deemed a sufficient Attonement for his Negligence, or Contempt of the Laws
of his Country, for which he most heartily begs Pardon.
And your Petitioner will ever pray, &c.
Aaron Doan.
Philad'a Jail, Nov. 8, 1785.
On the 17th of May, 1787, the Supreme Executive Council ordered
in the case of Aaron Doan that he be pardoned on condition that he
transport himself across the seas, not to return to the United States.
On the 28th of the same month he petitioned the Council for a short
time before going away, in which to collect certain debts, " subject
to the penalty of death if found in any of the United States after
the expiration of said given time." He chose Canada for his place
of exile and settled in the township of Humberstone. In Canada
he was a member of the Methodist church, was a good neighbor, a
genial friend and bore a good reputation for honesty and integrity.
During the invasion of Canada by the Americans in the War of
1812, he was drafted and served in the British army.

exactly one month from the day on which he gave such intelligent answers to my series
of questions. After the attack he lived, speechless but apparently sensible to all that
was going on around him, for a week and then "went out," his age being stated as exactly
93 years 8 mos. and 17 days. He was buried within the boundaries of the land which his
father Aaron had "taken up" nearly a century ago. The old man belonged to the
Methodist church and his funeral services were conducted after the manner thereof.
He had lived a life of good repute as his father, Aaron, before him had done. The latter
owned a line property of four hundred acres in his homestead, and on a part of it lived
the son who has just died.— Walter Shanj.ey, Montreal, Dec. 20, 1884.

230 LEVI6 DOANE (Joseph,5 Israel,4 Daniel,3 Daniel,2 John1)
was born at Plumstead, Bucks Co., Pa., and was hanged at Philadel-
phia, Pa., Sept. 24, 1788. His history was closely identified with
that of his cousin, Abraham Doane (234) hence some of the facts
in the career of both are here related. They were first cousins, nearly
of the same age, and finally ended their lives at the same time, and
under the same circumstances. Levi Doane's name appears with that
of his cousin Abraham and others in the Proclamation dated Satur-
day, July 26, 1783, and in which a reward of £100 specie is offered
for the capture of each or any one of them. In June, 1784, Abraham
Doane (234) and two or three of his accomplices were arrested and
lodged in a jail in Washington Co., Pa., while on their way to Detroit.
He probably escaped from that prison but finally, in 1788, was arrested
with his cousin Levi in Chester Co., and conveyed to Philadelphia.
They were in the Philadelphia jail in June, 1788, awaiting sentence
of death under the outlawry. On the 7th of that month they petitioned
Benjamin Franklin, President of the Executive Council, asking that
the mercy of the laws of the country may be extended to them, and
that the "outlawry so far as it relates to punishing us with death
may be rescinded." They acknowledged they had aided the British
and committed various offences, but plead their " youth and inex-
perience " and the " artful persuasion of designing men," in exten-
uation. In a subsequent petition dated July 14, 1788, they say they
were induced by artful enemies of the Commonwealth to commit
various crimes at an early age, neither of them being seventeen years
old, but declare they were not " directly or indirectly concerned in
the felony and burglary wherewith we are charged, and for which
this process (outlawry) was had against us." The petitions of the
unfortunate men themselves, not having met the success desired, the
friends of the family in Bucks Co. interposed their influence to save
their lives.
On the 13th of Aug., 1788, the mothers and sisters of the con-
demned men petitioned the council for pardon, but they say, if they
cannot do this they desire that length of time be granted " to pre-
pare for death and to complete, if possible, the important work of
salvation." This petition bears the signatures of Hester Doane,

mother of Levi ; Rachel Doane, mother of Abraham ; Rachel Doane,
sister of Abraham, and Mary Doane, sister of Levi. This petition
was supported by another, signed by over one hundred persons who
ask that the lives of the two men " may be spared and the punish-
ment of death remitted or altered to that of hard labor or banish-
ment." To this petition are signed, among others, the names of
Edward Fox, father of the late Judge Fox of Doylestown ; Robert
Morris the financier of the Revolution and William White, first
Episcopal Bishop of New Jersey. Two days afterward the mothers
presented another petition accompanied by one from their two con-
demned sons asking for pardon, or an extension of time to prepare
for death. Another and similar petition was presented the 9th of
Aug. The 6th of Sept., Joseph Doane the father of Levi, and uncle
of Abraham, petitions the council in behalf of his son and nephew,
and asks that their lives be spared. These repeated applications
must have made some impression on the Executive Council, for soon
afterward a petition, numerously signed by inhabitants of Bucks Co.,
was presented to council asking that the law be allowed to take its
course, and protesting against the pardon of the criminals. It was
laid before the council and read on the 17th of Sept., 1788. All
efforts to save Abraham and Levi Doane from death were unavailing
and on Sept. 24, 1788, they were publicly hanged on the common in
the city of Philadelphia. It is said that the father of Levi went to the
city and carried the two bodies in a cart to Plumstead. The Society
of Friends in that village, after deliberating awhile, refused to grant
permission for the interment in their graveyard, consequently they
were buried in the edge of the woods nearly opposite the Plumstead
Meeting-house.
An old lady, who once lived on the Doane farm, remembers that
Levi's mother was in the habit of visiting his grave, over which with
Bible in hand she would read and weep for hours at a time.
When Abraham and Levi were hanged in Philadelphia, it was com-
monly said of them, with special reference to Abraham, " they have
hanged the smartest two men in Pennsylvania."*
* As an illustration of Abraham Doane's surprising activity we quote the following
from History of the Doan Outlaws: "In the spring of 1786, a group of idlers were assem-
bled in front of a hotel in Lancaster. Observing the prodigious leaping of one of their
number, whose strength and agility were so preeminent that he excelled all the rest in the
sport, in the midst of his success an athletic man stepped from the crowd and offered
to match him, as a pastime, for a wager. His offer was at once accepted, the money
staked, and the overconfident leaper did his best. As the stranger very calmly stepped
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 243
The following account of the arrest and execution of Levi and
Abraham Doane is from the Autobiography of Charles Biddle :
In the month of Sept., 1788, Levi and Abraham Doan, two young men from
Bucks Co., were taken prisoners and brought before the Supreme Court
then sitting in Philadelphia. Being outlawed it was only necessary to iden-
tify them to sentence them to death. As they were well known in Bucks
Co., this was done and they received their sentence. The case of these young
men was exceedingly hard. When very young, their fathers were very ill
treated by some violent committee men in the county, on account of their
attachment to the British Government. These lads were threatened if they
did not voluntarily enter into the American army they should be pressed.
In consequence of this they went off and joined the British. It was said they
afterwards committed depredations in the neighborhood of where they were
born, and it is probably true. If the treatment of their parents did not jus-
tify them, it certainly was some excuse for their conduct. At the conclusion
of the Peace they returned to their county, as they said, to see their friends
and relations; but one of them, it was generally thought, came back on ac-
count of a very handsome girl he was fond of before he went to the British,
and his cousin would not leave him. They were concealed a considerable
time by their friends; it at length, however, became known that they were
in the county, when several who were, or conceived themselves, injured by
them, endeavored to have them apprehended ; but as they were stout, active,
resolute men and went always well armed, those who were in pursuit of
them were afraid openly to attack them. Probably there hardly lived a more
active man than the younger, Abraham. If he were seen by persons on horse-
back in pursuit of him, and he on foot, he would run like a deer, and no
fence could stop him for a momeut. He went over any fence without put-
ting a hand on it. They were both tall, handsome men. A considerable time
after their return into the State they were taken by surprise in Chester Co.,
by some men who were out hunting, who, from their appearance in the
woods, and from their endeavors to conceal themselves, suspected them of
having bad intentions, and insisted on their going before a magistrate. They
made no resistance, hoping, as they were not known, they would be imme-
diately dismissed; in this, however, they were mistaken. They were car-
ried before Colonel Hannum who committed them to jail. Had they not at-
tempted to conceal themselves, they would not have been apprehended, for
they told a very plausible story of their being New Jersey men on the way
westward to take up land.
Had they applied to Thomas Koss, Esq., a gentleman of the Bar, who then
lived at Chester (and was present when they were brought before Colonel
up to the mark, there was a general smile among the bystanders at his venturing to com-
pete with their famous friend. He, however, very leisurely took off his hat and coat,
tied a handkerchief around his waist, and at a single spring cleared the ground several
feet beyond his competitor. Never were a set of men more astonished than the specta-
tors who witnessed this feat, and the man who had beeu thus signally outdone was so
amazed that he exclaimed: 'By G — ! you must either be the devil or a Doan.' The
stranger immediately left the party who, upon enquiry, proved to be none other than
Abraham Doane."
244 THE DOANE FAMILY.
Hannum), within a day or two of their commitment he would have had them
liberated, but owing to some mistake they did not apply in time, and they
were detained until, some people coming to Chester from Bucks Co. , they were
known. As there was no reward offered for apprehending them [Mr. Bid-
die is mistaken in this as Levi and Abraham were mentioned in the Procla-
mation of Outlawry] , the people who took them were in no way anxious about
their being kept in prison. Mr. Ross, who was their counsel when they were
brought to the Court, has since told me that he lamented they had notapplied
in time to him, for he knew the family had been hardly used. He was born
near where these young men were, and knew them well before they went
off, but did not recollect them when they were brought before Colonel Han-
num. After they were condemned, and the time was fixed for their execu-
tion, the father of Abraham, several female relations and friends, and some
influential gentlemen, waited on the Council to solicit a pardon for them, or, if
that could not be obtained, a reprieve. The latter was readily granted. Hear-
ing much of these men, and wishing to communicate intelligence which I
knew would give great pleasure to these unfortunate men and their friends,
I went to jail to inform them that the Council had granted a reprieve for one
month. I wished also to prepare them for the worst that might happen.
When I went into the room, they were surrounded by their relatives and
friends, among whom were several females, two of them very handsome
girls who had lived with them in the woods. It was to no purpose I told
them that the prisoners were only reprieved for a month, and that it was
probable they would not be pardoned. When they found they were reprieved
they gave way to the most extravagant joy ; they all concluded that through
the intercession of friends, they should be pardoned. This, I told them, they
must not expect, although I had little doubt myself but that a pardon would
be granted. I always thought it wrong to grant a reprieve for any length of
time, without granting a pardon ; it is like putting a man to death in cold
blood. Before the month expired the Legislature met, when they petitioned
for pardon, and if that could not be obtained a trial by jury. The Legislature
were inclined to pass a bill in their favor, and appointed a committee, con-
sisting of Mr. Lewis, Mr. Fitzsimons and Mr. Rittenhouse, to confer with
the Supreme Executive Council on the subject of their pardon. This I be-
lieve was what proved fatal to these young men. Several of the members of
the Council thought the Legislature had no business to interfere, as the power
of pardoning, by the Constitution, was given to the Council. They refused to
pardon or extend the time fixed for their execution. It was in vain the
members of the Legislature and the minority in the Council urged the peculiar
situation of these unfortunate men ; the majority were jealous of the inter-
ference of the Legislature, and it was carried by a very small majority, that
they should suffer. Going to the Council the day afterwards, I met them going
in a cart to the gallows, followed by their relations and friends. It was a
very affecting sight. They died with great firmness.

John1) was born at Plumstead, Bucks Co., Pa. By the confession of
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 245
Jesse Vickers, Aug. 9, 1782, he also is charged with complicity in the
robbery of the Bucks County treasury, Oct. 22, 1781, and in the rob-
beries of certain collectors of taxes and military fines. Accordingly
his name appears in the Proclamations of June 30, and July 26, 1783.
By reason of these notices and the rewards offered for his apprehen-
sion, he fled to western Pennsylvania, where he was captured by one
John Solomon Miller and lodged in the Bedford County jail, on Sat-
urday, Sept. 27, 1783. With the aid of confederates Mahlon Doane
soon escaped from that prisou,but before leaving released all the
prisoners except one, who had been guilty of robbing a woman.
"Mahlon was a thin visaged, slender man, not more than five feet
eight inches in height. He was the smallest of the brothers, but though
lacking in size and brute strength, he was wiry and active. He was
a hard man to capture, and a harder captive to hold. He was recog-
nized by his long, coal-black hair, and a peculiar habit he had of
looking down, but more positively by a blemish in one eye, and a
scar beneath it." — History of the Doane Outlaws.
What became of Mahlon after his escape is a matter of mere con-
jecture. There is a tradition that in freeing himself of his irons, he
mutilated his feet and shortly after died in the woods from loss of
blood. Another tradition is, that he drowned himself in the Chesa-
peake to escape further persecutions. His nephew, Levi Doane, son
of " Exile Aaron " (229) of Canada, about 1880 said of his uncle
Mahlon : "He escaped from prison and went on board a ship at New
York on which were four hundred Loyalists. I believe they sailed
for England. We never heard any more of Mahlon."
232 JONATHAN6 DOANE (Elijah,5 Israel,4 Daniel,3 Daniel,2
John1) was born 1765, 3, 16. He married Jane Thompson, who was
born 1764, 12, 24, the daughter of John Thompson. In 1789 they
removed from Pennsylvania or New Jersey to Canada and. settled
first at Sugar Loaf, in the Niagara district, where they resided about
twenty years. In 1810 they removed to the township of Yarmouth,
County of Elgin. Being one of the first settlers there and a man of
energy and influence, he was known in old age as " The Patriarch of
Yarmouth."

about 1767 and died at Cain, 1845, 1, 1, aged 77 years, the daughter of
William and Mary Pennington. She was his first cousin on the
maternal side. Of Mr. Doane's youth very little is known, but it is
understood that he lived for a time, after the death of his father,
with an uncle named Samuel Kester. Before reaching the age of
twenty he married and settled in Chester county, and lived in the
townships of East Cain and Brandywine, now West Brandywine.
At one time he owned a farm in East Cain, and later one in Brandy-
wine which he sold to his son Israel. When more than fifty years
old, he walked all the distance to and from Canada, on a visit to rel-
atives who, it is understood, lived nearly opposite the town of Erie,
Pa. About 1806 he and his wife united with the Friends Meeting at
Cain. Mr. Doane was a man of fine personal appearance, of great
physical activity, keen in repartee and very conscientious in all his
dealings with his fellow men. He was blind during several of the
last years of his life. He was a weaver by trade, and a farmer.

236 DORCAS6 DOANE (Nehemiah,5 Ephrairn,4 Hezekiah,3
Ephraim,2 John1) was born at Middletown, Conn., Feb. 1, 1765 and
died at Bridport, Vt., Aug. 5, 1839 (gravestone, Bridport). She
married Nov. 20, 1782, James Barbour, who died at Bridport, Oct.
22, 1839, aged 79 years, lOmos. (gravestone, Bridport). The same
year of their marriage they settled in Bridport, where they were
among the first settlers. It is said that they made the first Thanks-
giving dinner in Bridport, to which all the townspeople, consisting of
six families, were invited. They both were of stanch old stock,* both
were christians and leading members of the Congregational church.
Children, all born at Bridport :
i Ira,7 b. Sept. 30, 1783; d. in Mich., Dec. 20, 1867. He married
three, and perhaps four, times. He m. 1st, Jan. 1, 1807,
Praxana Boyington; m. 2nd, Feb. 6, 1814, Esther Cobb. He
left Vt. when a young man ; lived in Central N. Y. many
years, but later followed his children to Michigan.
*They were christians of finedd Puritan ancestry, and consequently very staid and
sober. On one occasion a lawyer of Shoreham reported that he saw Mr. Barbour and
his wife out in the yard, "pulling hair with all their might, and that the old man had a
a butcher's knife in his hand." The church concluded that for so grave an offence, they
should be called to an account. Accordingly they were arraigned before a meeting of
the dignitaries, when the testimony developed the fact, it was the hair of a butchered
hog they were pulling.

241 ISAIAH6 DOANE (Elisha,5 Elisha,4 Hezekiah,3 Ephraim,2
John1) was born at Wellfleet, Mass., Oct. 16, 1753 and died
in Boston, Mass., Apr. 22, 1805 (buried in Doane tomb, King's
Chapel). He married Apr. 9, 1775, by Rev. Chandler Robbins,
Hannah Bartlett of Barnstable, formerly of Plymouth, Mass., who
was born Apr. 11, 1758 and died in Boston, Apr. 22, 1814 (buried
in Doane tomb). Her sister, Elizabeth Bartlett, married Gen.
Peleg Wadsworth, grandfather of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,
the poet.
Mr. Doane received private instruction under the Rev. Mr. Shute
and graduated at Harvard College in 1774. On Apr. 10, 1776, he,
with a boat's crew, captured off Cohasset, Mass., the British ship
Industry, with her valuable cargo, which was recorded as a very
gallant act. After the close of the Revolutionary war he moved to
Boston and purchased, in 1783, for £2400 the Faneuil-Phillips
house where he lived several years. On account of the death of a
favorite child on the grounds of the mansion, he changed his resi-
dence in Boston, I'etaining the family home in Wellfleet and pur-
chasing a country house in Medford, Mass. In 1787, he was one of
the gentlemen volunteers in the Shay Rebellion. Inheriting a large
fortune he lived elegantly in accordance with it ; entertained lavishly
and was prominent in society and all social matters. He was very
benevolent, his property and personal services were never denied to
those who needed them, and his sympathies were without calculation.

his benevolence had a large scope, and it is recorded that he " was
greatly respected and beloved." In 1798, yellow fever appeared in
Boston, and Mr. Doane in fulfilling his duties on the Board of Health,
contracted the disease, from the effects of which he never fnlly re-
covered. Travel and sea voyages, later, failed to restore bis strength,
and finally returning to his Boston home he died as above noted.
On his tomb in King's Chapel is inscribed :
He was a tender husband
An affectionate Father
A kind Master
And the Poor Man's friend.
Isaiah Doane inherited a large property near what is now Kilby
street, in Boston. Doane street, leading out of Kilby street, was un-
doubtedly named for him in 1806, though John Doane, Esq. (7),
owned and occupied nearly all the land in that vicinity as early as
1740.

Cohasset, Mass., July 4, 1832. He married first, June 24, 1783, by
his brother-in-law Rev. Samuel Parker, Jane Cutler, who was born
Apr. 28, 1765 and died at Cohasset, Mass., Mar. 2, 1823, the
youngest daughter of John and Mary (Clark) Cutler of Boston, and
sister of Ann Cutler wife of Rev. Samuel Parker, rector of Trinity

Lynn, Mass., June 17, 1841, aged 69 years (buried in tomb 166,
Old Granary burying-ground, Boston), the daughter of Hon. Charles
and Elizabeth (Sumner) Cushing.
Mr. Doane graduated at Harvard College in 1781. About 1786,
he purchased property from his father and half-brother John Doane
(243), in Cohasset, Mass., and settled in that town where his wealth,
culture and energy had a lasting effect upon the community. He
dwelt in a house there on the corner of the present Sohier and Main
streets, where now a little cupola covers the old cellar.

Although a very active, stirring man, interested in everything
transpiring in town, state and nation, Mr. Doane never held any
public office except that of a Justice of the Peace. He erected a grist
and flour mill, a rope walk and salt works, engaged in domestic and
foreign commerce for some years, but finally relinquished his vessels
and confined his attention to his farm and salt works.

raim,2 John1) was born at Wellfleet, Mass., June 26, 1768 and died
at Yarmouth, Mass., Oct. 5, 1848. He married Susan Bassett, and
settled in Yarmouth, where he engaged in trade and accumulated a
fortune. He was a prominent citizen of his adopted town, president
of the first temperance society, Justice of the Peace ; town treasurer ;
a member of the first Board of County Commissioners ; a Represen-
tative to the General Court several years and a member of the Mas-
sachusetts Constitutional Convention of 1820. He united with the
Congregational church of Yarmouth in 1814, and for more than thirty
years was a blameless and most efficient member. He was full of
good works, his almsdeeds done in secret were numerous and the
christian gentleman was apparent in all the intercourse of life. (See
The Excellency of the Righteous, a discourse occasioned by the death of
the Hon. Elisha Doane, by Phineas Fish, 1848.)

of his town. Of him it was written : "He was an honor
to human nature, the staff of his father's days, and so full
of promise, that all who knew him must have felt the wish
that his days might be prolonged to the utmost limit of hu-
man life."

252 NEHEMIAH6 DOANE (Thomas,5 Thomas,4 Thomas,3 Eph-
raim,2 John1) was born at Barrington, N. S.,Mar. 24, 1776 and died
there Feb. 22, 1851. He was married at Barrington, Jan. 10, 1799,
by Samuel O. Doane, Esq., to Nancy Kenney, who was born at Bar-
rington, Oct. 14, 1780 and died there Aug. 6, 1864, the daughter of
Isaac and Sarah (Godfrey) Kenney. Nehemiah Doane was a child
of seven years when, at his father's open grave, he saw, on May 3,
260 THE DOANE FAMILY.
1783, the British transports pass the headlands of Barrington harbor
with the refugee settlers of Shelburne. After his father's death he
lived, during his minority, with his half-brother, Capt. John Lewis,
on Cape Sable Island where, at the age of twenty-three, he married.
Removing thence to the mainland he built several small vessels in
which he engaged in trading along the coast from Labrador to Bos-
ton. When in Boston, he was accustomed to visit his 'k Uncle Payne"
(father of the author of " Home, Sweet Home"), whom with his tal-
ented family he held in great affection and esteem. The war of 1812—
15 interrupted his trading ventures and left him in business straits,
which, however, he gradually overcame and resumed vessel building.
In 1827 he built and launched the schooner Ocean, in which his sons
Thomas and Isaac made two voyages from Halifax to the West Indies,
and in February, 1828, started upon a third. The night follow-
ing their leaving Halifax witnessed one of the severest storms in the
history of the Atlantic, and vessel or crew was never seen or heard
of again. From the financial loss thus involved Mr. Doane never
fully recovered.
Besides holding the captaincy of the local militia company, Mr.
Doane served many years as overseer of the poor and of the high-
ways. A dead shot with the rifle, he held an unsurpassed reputation
as an enthusiastic and mighty hunter. A man of wide reading and
superiorly educated himself, the winter night-schools which he con-
ducted set many a young man on the road to future success. But
it was in the religious life of his time in Barrington that he performed
his most important part.
The first Barrington settlers were mostly Congregationalists and
Quakers. One of their number, the Rev. Theodore Harding, assisted
by Rev. Thomas Crandell, organized a Baptist church, but it was left
without a pastor by Mr. Harding's removal to Wolfville, N. S. Henry
Alline, a travelling " New Light " preacher, brought a wave of re-
ligious revival to Barrington, which was renewed by a visit from the
eloquent Rev. Harris Harding, of Yarmouth, N. S.,who added num-
bers to the Baptist flock, among them Thomas Crowell, a brother-in-
law of Mr Doane. The Rev. Peter Martin brought into the church
Nehemiah Doane and his wife ; and Thomas Crowell was ordained
and installed as pastor. After a time Arminian doctrines were intro-
duced by the Revs. Asa McGray and Jacob Norton, of Maine, and a
period of bitter theological dispute intervened between the old Calvin-
ists and the new "Free Willers," such as only undiluted Puritans can

wage, which ended in the reorganization of the church, against the
opposition of the pastor and others, as the "Free Will Baptist Church."
But to the credit of the people, showing that, in the midst of* their
schisms, brotherly love was strong within them, they retained their old
beloved pastor, and Mr. Doane, as rigid a Calvinist as the minister
himself, was chosen deacon. This office he held till his death.
At his funeral, which the whole countryside atteuded, the preacher,
in summing up the character of Nehemiah Doane, said : " Every
man was his neighbor. His life was a service to those around him,
and the wandering outcast and beggar he never turned empty away."

270 SETH BROWN7 DOANE (Edward,6 Noah,5 Solomon,4

Lowell, Mass., Oct. 5, 1823, Meloria Lucretia Johnson, who was
272 THE DOANE FAMILY.
bora about 1808 and died at Orion, 111., Feb. 17, 1870. Married,
second, at Fort Scott, Kan., July, 1872.
His father being a stern old sea captain, Mr. Doane was brought
up under strict obedience to a command. While a boy he showed
considerable skill in the use of tools, and his father allowed him to
become a mechanic. He persevered in this line until he became a
builder and architect in Boston. His early years were full of thrilling
experiences. Prompted by a spirit of wild adventure and discovery,
he journeyed to Florida, intent upon reaching the Spanish Fort at
New Orleans. Failing to make connections between the eastern and
western Florida coast, by stage line, he struck out boldly and unat-
tended, without protection of any kind. To escape the attacks of
wild beasts, which abounded in that section, he snatched his hours of
sleep and rest in the tops of trees. Losing his way at one time, he
wandered through the forests and was without food for four days
until, hearing the click of a woodman's axe, he discovered his where-
abouts. After consultation with himself, lie decided to return to the
home of his birth. The first four years after his marriage he spent
in Lowell and Boston, Mass., and in Albany and Buffalo, N. Y., fol-
lowing the business of an architect and builder. Still burning with
a spirit for western adventure, in 1834 he took his family consisting
of wife and four children, to what was then called Fort Dearborn,
now Chicago, 111. This was then only an Indian trading fort, but
with the grit of a true frontiersman he went to work and out of the
forest primeval secured logs with which he built one, among the first
dwelling houses in Chicago. Becoming more favorably impressed
with his surroundings, he lay claim to a quarter section of govern-
ment land, which is now in the heart of Chicago. Soon a settlement
developed and the city by the lakes began to grow. For the next
four or five years at the Fort and at Bachelors Grove, a small settle-
ment some sixteen miles distant, he continued the work of a mechanic.
Tiring of the surroundings and losing faith in the future of his
adopted home, in 1839 he sold his developments and claim, but his
wife, prompted by something more than human instinct, refused to
sign away her right, and thus the title stands today. From here he
moved his family to Canton, 111., and subsequently a few miles dis-
tant to Utica, a small town on the Illinois river. A few years later
he bought two hundred and forty acres of choice timber land in
Orion township, to which he moved his family, now increased to nine
children. Surrounding himself with workshops here in the forest, he
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 273
became the master mechanic of central Illinois, and built for himself
an elegant home patterned after Eastern styles of architecture.
Surrounded by the conveniences of the time, he reared his large
family. After the death of his wife, the spirit of adventure returning,
Mr. Doane in company with his son, Seth A., migrated to Fort Scott
and invested in a tract of land, on the then wilds of southeastern
Kansas. There he married a second time.
In Feb., 1876, while on a trip to Independence, Kan., he contracted
a severe cold, developing into pneumonia, of which he died. He was
buried in Independence. Such is the life sketch of a true-born
pilgrim, a fearless pioneer, a kind husband and father and an honored
citizen.

on the lower floor of the Westford Old Meeting house." Acting on
the advice of his physician he removed, in 1839, to the hemlock woods
of Delaware Co., N. Y., and settled on a farm in Middletown. After
his death his widow lived in Lowell and in Lawrence, Mass., and
finally in Milford, N. H., where she died. Mr. Doane was a leading
man in all public affairs of the townships in which he lived. While
in Alabama, he was elected sheriff of the county and was very popu-
lar with the people. While in Lowell, he was a deacon of the
Worthen street Baptist church. In Middletown he donated land
and built a school-house, where he established regular religious ser-

and worked as a butcher, thence to Lowell, Mass., and worked in a
woollen mill. Sometime after marriage, he moved from Lowell to
Petersham, Mass., and bought a farm of forty-six acres about one
and one-half miles south of the village. In Sept., 1837, he sold his
Petersham property, and removed to Monterey and settled on a farm
of ninety -six acres, which his brother Rufus had purchased for him
in the north part of the town, since called " Doane's Hill." With

Monterey, N. Y., Feb. 10, 1878 (gravestone, Monterey). He married
Oct. 13, 1836, Sarah Hyde, who was born at Pelham, Mass., Apr. 18,
1812 and died at Monterey, Jan. 15, 1894 (gravestone, Monterey) the
daughter of James and Margaret Hyde, and a sister of Sylvia Hyde,
who married his brother Asa Doane (272a). Mr. Doane was in charge
of the poor farm at Petersham for some years, later was in the meat
business in Lowell, Mass. In 1835 he went to Illinois and bought
some prairie land, but soon returned to Monterey, then Mead's Creek,
where he purchased fifty acres of land three quarters of a mile west
of the village. He then went to Massachusetts and married as above
noted. They returned to Monterey and began housekeeping in a log
house. In Sept., 1837, they were joined there by his brother Edward
and family, and in June, 1838, by his father and mother. In 1839
he bought one hundred acres of timber land adjoining his farm. He
kept stock, raised grain, was in the lumber and shingle business and
accumulated a fortune. His health failing, he sold his farm in 1853
and bought a house and seventeen acres on the outskirts of Monterey,
which they occupied ten years. Later he sold this place and bought
a house and lot of one acre nearer the village. His wife joined the
Baptist church when a young woman. He united with the Baptist
church at Monterey about 1845. They gave liberally of their means
to the support of that church. He willed his house and lot to the
Baptist society for a parsonage to be theirs on the death of his wife.
She in turn willed one thousand dollars to the society for a permanent
fund, the interest of which to be applied to the pastor's salary. At
the age of thirteen Mr. Doane contracted a fever which settled in his

274 JOHN B.7 DOANE (Edward,6 Noah,5 Solomon,4 Samuel,3
John,2 Johu1) was born at Dana, Mass., Aug. 1, 1813 and died at
Hinsdale, Du Page Co., 111., Jan. 29, 1900. He married, first, at
Milwaukee, Wis., . Married second, in Chicago, 111., June 6,
1874, Sarah Pritchard, who was born at Booneville, N. Y., Feb. 17,
1845, the daughter of William and Mary (Williams) Pritchard, who
were natives of Wales, Great Britain.
Mr. Doane left home when about eighteen years old, went to Boston
and shipped as a sailor on a merchant vessel bound for France. He
worked his way up until he was captain in the merchant marine, at
the age of twenty-two. He later went to Galena, 111., worked in the
lead mines a number of years and speculated to some extent, buying
pork and farm produce from the settlers of the then Territory of Iowa,
and shipping them East. From there he went to Wisconsin and bought
a farm four miles west of Milwaukee. He sold his Milwaukee prop-
erty, went to Davenport, Iowa, and engaged in a mercantile business
for a while, then graduated from two medical colleges — Eclectic and
Allopathic — and for many years was a successful practitioner of med-
icine in Chicago, where he accumulated considerable property. He
sold out in Chicago and bought a large tract of land in the north-
western part of Indiana, where he helped to build up a small village
and was at the head of various business enterprises. This property
he sold about 1881 or 2, and purchased a home for his old age at
Hinsdale, seventeen miles west of Chicago. Mr. Doane was a man
of versatile genius, of great energy, of business enterprise and of the
strictest integrity. He was a curious investigator in realms of nature
and philosophy and for many years was a member of a literary soci-
ety in Chicago, where his memory is one of the choicest among the
older prominent men. His widow resides at Hinsdale.

THE DOANE FAMILY.
275 LEANDER7 DOANE (Edward,6 Noah,5 Solomon,4 Samuel,3
John,2 John1) was born at Petersham, Mass., Oct. 31, 1819 and died
of small-pox at Lowell, Mass., Apr. 1, 1845 (gravestone in Lot 3, 20th
Range, 2nd cemetery, Lowell). He married at Effingham, N. H., in
1840, Betsey Weare Lord, who was born at Parsonfield, Me., Mar.
3, 1811, the daughter of George and Patience (Hobbs) Lord. She
survived him and married second, at Lowell, Apr. 23, 1850, Amos
W. Dutton, a cooper of Chelmsford, Mass., the son of David and
Hannah Dutton.
When a young man, Mr Doane shipped as a sailor on a whaling
ship, bound for the North Pacific Ocean, on a three years' voyage.
On arrival at the Sandwich Islands he, with some others of the crew,
ran away from the vessel into the interior of one of the islands to es-
cape the brutal treatment of their captain, but in three days they were
discovered, taken back to the ship and severely whipped with a cat-
o'- nine-tails. After two years in the North Pacific they returned
home, when the captain was heavily fined for his brutal usage of the
crew. He then married and went to Delaware Co., N.Y., to engage
in farming and the lumbering business with his brother Zenas (271).
After the death of his brother, in 1844, he returned to Lowell.
Children :
i Rosella Anverette,8 b. at Middletown, N. Y., Apr. 19, 1842;

res. in Effingham.
iii Julia Anverna,8 b. at Middletown, May 2, 1845; d. at Effing-
ham, Sept. 23, 1846.
276 LEONARD7 DOANE (Samuel,6 Nehemiah,5 Solomon,4
Samuel,3 John,2 John1) was born at Eastham, Mass., Nov. 6, 1798
and died at Dana, Mass., Aug. 14, 1868. He married July 20, 1819,
Harriet White, who was born at Dana, Sept. 6, 1801 and died there
Oct. 4, 1890, the daughter of Stephen and Abigail (Hudson) White.
Leonard Doane was a member of the family of John Pike, his step-
father, who, fleeing the persecutions of the British sailors, left the
seacoast and settled inland in that portion of S. Petersham, now a part
of Dana. The influence of his early life led him to become a seaman,
and his first voyage was on a fishing vessel to the Banks. After that
he was a sailor to South Atlantic and West India ports, to England
and France, and advanced until he became "skipper of a coaster."
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 279
He always had a fondness for the sea, and in later life loved to recall
the exciting and dangerous adventures of earlier days.
In those days, conveyance by coach between Boston and Dana,
was irregular and uncertain, so that Mr. Doane frequently made the
journey on foot, thus saving time and money. On one occasion com-
ing into port too late for the Dana coach, he set out for Dana on
foot. Though ill with the measles he reached home, but so tedious
were the hardships endured on the way, he never afterward repeated
the journey.
After leaving the sea, he engaged in business with his step-father,
Mr. Goodyear and others, when in an attempt to place rubber upon
cloth, he lost the property he had acquired by hard work and frugal-
ity. The enterprise led him to New York, Providence and other
cities, but he finally settled in Dana, and for many years manufac-
tured palm-leaf hats. He was a man of visions, and as in business
he saw possibilities above discouragements, so in public affairs he
saw through clouds of darkness the brightness of grand results. He
was a Prohibitionist and worked for the enforcement of the State
Prohibitory Law. He was not aggressive, believing rather in moral
suasion than in force, and opposed the liquor traffic, not the men.
His genial nature, quaint humor, and evident purity of motive, dis-
armed enmity and won friends even of those whose business he
helped to destroy. At one time a young hotel-keeper was prosecuted
for illegal liquor selling. The evidence against him was conclusive,
but in view of his having a wife and little children to support it was
suggested that two well-known temperance men of the town should
go to Worcester and vouch for the young man's future behavior.
Mr. Doane was one of the men chosen. He hardly liked the mission,
but from kindness of heart did not refuse, and later events proved
he never regretted his humanity.
He was a reader, and a thinker, and a leader if need be, an Aboli-
tionist, a member of the Free Soil party and a lifelong Republican
rejoicing in the freedom of the slave. As a Free Soiler he repre-
sented his town in the Legislature in 1851. That was a year of great
excitement. The slave Simms fled to Boston and was returned to
his former owner under the Fugitive Slave Law. "While he was con-
fined in Boston and awaiting trial, ropes were fastened around the
Court House to hold back the excited crowds, and from the steps
Wendell Phillips harangued the people, greatly impressing Mr.
Doane with abolition sentiments.
280 THE DOANE FAMILY.
A true son of Pilgrim sires, with broad views, a persistent and
determined though gentle spirit, he made his work for the public
good, permanent and enduring, and for himself, a reputation for
steadfastness and integrity. In religion he was a Universalist. He
believed in the Bible as a divine revelation, in Jesus Christ as a
divine manifestation, in repentance and regeneration and that God's
mercy reaches beyond the grave.

285 WILLIAM COLES7 DOANE (David,6 Joseph,5 Solomon,4
Samuel,3 John,2 John1) was born at Shawangunk, Ulster Co., N. Y.,
July 17, 1826. He married at Union, Broome Co., N. Y., July 12,
1848, Mary E. Keeler, the daughter of Lewis W. and Mary (Rogers)
Keeler. Mr. Doane has resided in William sport, Pa., Washington,
D. C, Union, Syracuse, Binghamton, and Elmira, N. Y., his present
place of residence. He studied medicine with Dr. Houghton of
Orange Co., N. Y., graduated from a medical school at Castleton,
Vt., in June 1847, and, in September of that year, commenced the
practice of medicine in Union.
In 1855 he was nominated and, after a hotly contested canvass, was
elected clerk of Broome Co. The first Republican organization of
that county was effected by Dr. Doane in Sept., 1855.
When Mr. Lincoln was President Dr. Doane accepted a place as
Examiner in the United States Patent Office, and during the war was
always ready to do auy service that the country demanded of him.
In 1862, at the request of President Lincoln, he went into the
State of New York to hold war meetings and enlist men for the army.
He spoke almost every day from June till November, during which
time the enlistments at his meetings were so numerous, that Hon.
E. D. Morgan, Governor of the State, publicly acknowledged his
services, and took occasion to say : " His work has been of inesti-
mable value to the country, for which he is justly entitled to the
gratitude of all patriotic and loyal citizens."
After the death of President Lincoln, Dr. Doane refused to submit
to the Johnson policy, resigned his place in the Patent Office and
went to Williamsport, Pa., where he soon obtained a large practice.
At the request of various Republican committees Dr. Doane has
frequently left his practice, at a great sacrifice, and has thrown himself
with all his might into almost every campaign since 1856. He has
spoken with great favor in almost every northern state of the Union,
and his well known abilities as a Republican orator have been greatly
appreciated by the party he represents.

Governor's council. In 1850 and again in 1853 he was elected county
commissioner. He lived to a ripe old age in the enjoyment of a rare
social position, respected by all who knew him. Upon the town in

serve, he made a lasting impression as an honest and sound counselor,
who in all his professional career advised settlements, compromises
and concessions instead of litigations in the courts. He was famil-

318 RUSSELL7 DOANE (Myrick,6 Isaiah,5 Simeon,4 Samuel,3
John,2 John1) was born at Eastharn, Mass., Nov. 29, 1801 and died
in Brooklyn (Williamsburgh), N. Y., Oct. 26, 1877. He married at
Eastharn in 1831, by Rev. Philander Shaw, Martha Crosby, who was
born at Brewster, Mass, Nov. 20, 1805 and died at Brooklyn, Mar. 3,
1882, the daughter of Thomas and Patty (Rogers) Crosby, and a
sister of Caroline Crosby, who married Noah Doane (267).
Captain Russell Doane who died at hislresidence 22 Meserole street, last
evening (Oct. 26, 1877) from the bursting of an internal abscess and hem-
orrhage resulting therefrom, was one of the old citizens of Williamsburgh.
He was a native of Massachusetts, of Pilgrim ancestry, being a lineal de-
scendant of Dea. John Doane, who came to this country early, and who in
company with Gov. Thomas Prince and five others was delegated by the
Plymouth Colony to found the town of Eastharn on Cape Cod.
The subject of this notice was born in Eastharn in 1801 and following the
bent of his inclination and the tendency of the locality in which he lived,
adopted a seafaring life, and at the age of eleven years embarked on his first
voyage. From this time forth he steadily followed the sea, rising through
successive grades to that of Captain, which he attained during his twenty-
sixth year and kept throughout the remainder of his business life. His
longest service was with the late firm of Dunham & Dimond, ship owners
of New York, in whose employ he sailed for many years and by whom he
was held in the highest estimation. In the year 1851 he moved his family
to Williamsburgh, building a house at what was known as No. 10 Meserole
street, now No. 20. Here and in the adjoining house built later he has
resided since, with the exception of a short time spent on a farm in New
Jersey, which he purchased with the idea of retiring from the sea, but which
he soon gave up to follow the old and to him more seductive calling. Lat-
terly he has been incapacitated from active exercise by reason of his age

319 HEMAN7 DOANE (Heman,6 Isaiah,5 Simeon,4 Samuel,3
John,2 John1) was born at Eastham, Mass., Nov. 25, 1808 and died
there Mar. 24, 1891. Unmarried. Mr. Doane was a well known
resident of the Cape, and was an intelligent, patriotic citizen. He
served his towrj as clerk and treasurer from 1849 till his death. He
was the author of several historical papers and wrote a number of
metrical compositions, a few of which have been published, and which
express a degree of poetic fancy and facility of expression.
Until a few years ago an old pear tree was standing on the Gov-
ernor Prince farm at Eastham, said to have been planted there by
the Governor himself. To this tree the following lines were ad-
dressed by Mr. Heman Doane :
" Two hundred years have on the wings of time
Passed with their joys and woes since thou, old Tree,
Put forth thy first leaves in this foreign clime,
Transplanted from the soil beyond the sea,
Whence did our pious Pilgrim Fathers come
To found an empire in this Western land,
Where they and theirs might find a peaceful home,
A safe retreat from persecution's hand.
That exiled band long since have passed away,
And still, old Tree ! thou standest in the place
Where Prince's hand did plant thee in his day,
An undesigned memorial of his race
And time of those our honored fathers, when
They came from Plymouth o'er and settled here —
Doane, Higgius, Snow and other worthy men,
Whose names their sons remember to revere.
Full many a summer's breeze and wintry blast
Through those majestic boughs have waved and sighed,
While centuries with their burdens by have passed
And generations have been born and died.
And many a sister tree has had its birth,
Performed its labors and fulfilled its day,
And mighty Kings and Kingdoms of the earth
Have lived and flourished, died and passed away.
There didst thou stand in times of bloody strife,
The youthful days of Boston's famous tree,
304 THE DOANE FAMILY.
And where our patriot fathers sold their lives
To buy their Country's glorious liberty.
Old time has thinned thy boughs, Old Pilgrim Tree !
And bowed thee with the weight of many years;
Yet, 'mid the frosts of age, thy bloom we see
And yearly still thy mellow fruit appears.
Venerable emblem of our sires of yore !
Like them thou hast performed life's labors well,
And when like them thy days are passed and o'er,
These lines may help thy lengthened stories tell."
THE OLD SOUTH MEETING HOUSE.
A Reminiscence of the old Congregational Meeting-house in Eastham, Mass.
Erected in 1719. Demolished in 1827.
By Heman Doane.
The Old South Meeting-house, time-worn and gray,
That stood fronting east by the " King's highway
That goeth to Billingsgate " — so runs the phrase
In the quaint old records of olden days.
Five score and nine years that old house stood,
And saw many days of both evil and good;
Reared by the fathers, who long gathered there,
To keep Sabbath time in praise and in prayer.
I remember it well— its outside look ;
I remember its inside, too, "like a book :"
The broad aisle from doorway to pulpit that led,
With its eight-square sounding board overhead.
The side aisles running with the walls parallel,
And the great box-pews, that were always filled well ;
With free seats in front, for old women and men —
They had no church aristocracy then —
Where sat the old fathers and mothers so near
The pulpit that they the better might hear ;
While in their snug sanctum the grave deacons sat
Beneath the high pulpit, on this side and that.
Look up, now, and see that long rowed choir,
That " sounded and sang," with voices raised higher
Than many church singers ventured to go,
Who sing only tunes that are set pretty low.
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 305
They sang the loved tunes of those ancient days,
That swelled both the voice and the heart with praise,
And they made the walls of the old church ring
Without the aid of pipe, reed or string.
That gallery see, filled with sober young men !
They did not go to church for frolic then —
Their hats in the spokes of the rails in a row,
And all is in order, above and below.
Youth, manhood and age sit reverently there,
Or stand with bowed heads in time of prayer :
The upturned seats, too, were worshippers then
And clattered applause at every " Amen."
Alas ! what changes have since come o'er
Church, priest and people we see no more !
Oh! sad is the thought— but, as mortals, we kuow
Mutation is written on all things below.
All gone ! that old Congregational band,
Save here and there one, to the Spirit Land ;
And their mouldering forms are sleeping near
Where the old church stood so many a year.
When I pass their low graves, methinksthey seem
To rise from their beds in my noon-time dream,
And I see them again sitting orderly there,
In that ancient house of praise and prayer.
0 blessed old days, ye shall ne'er be forgot !
The memories that cling to that hallowed spot
Shall be green like David's, whereof he told
When he said, " I remember the days of old."
1 have seen splendid temples with lofty, proud steeple,
With soft-cushioned seats filled with fashion-clad people ;
But none on the tablet of memory will stay
Like that old gray church by the " King's Highway. "

326 ELISHA7 DOANE (Elisha,6 Elisha,5 Jonathan,4 Dr. David,3
John,2 John1) was born at Brookfield, Mass., June 28, 1795 and
died at Boca, Cal., Dec. 18, 1871. He married at Lyme, 0., Jan.
15, 1822, Chloe Miller, who was bora at Lee, N. Y., Oct. 3, 1803
and died Dec. 25, 1897, the daughter of Don Miller, of Huron Co.,
Ohio.
In 1801 Mr. Doane went with his parents from Brookfield to
Calais, Vt., thence in 1811 to Cayuga Co., N. Y. He was the eldest
son of a large family of children, and his father being in moderate
circumstances Elisha's advantages for education were limited. His
desire for knowledge, however, prompted him to hard study when
not engaged in manual labor for his father, so that, at the age of
eighteen, he had acquired in all the common branches a good educa-
tion, and in mathematics was hardly excelled. He early acquired the
profession of surveying and civil engineering in which he was very
proficient. This proved to be of great advantage to his neighbors, as
well as to himself, in after life, in what was then considered the far
West. He also learned the trade of stone cutting. He served in
the War of 1812, was at the burning of Buffalo, and was also in the
Black Hawk war. In 1818 he moved to Ohio, and settled in Sherman,
Huron Co., where he became acquainted with the family of General
Sherman.
He took the contract for, and built two locks in the Ohio Canal,

eighteen miles from Cleveland. In 1829 he moved to Michigan and
was one of the first settlers of Kalamazoo Co. He located a farm
on the Prairie Road near the city of Schoolcraft. In farming he was
very successful, raising an abundance of grain and vegetables of all
kinds, which were generally given to aid destitute immigrants seeking
homes in that wild and unsettled country. Here he built saw mills
and manufactured lumber, on what was known as the Indian Reser-
vation in the town of Brady. He also cut the first set of burrs for
grinding grain that was ever used in the county. In 1843 he moved
to St. Joseph Co. and located in what is now the city of Mendon.
Here he erected two saw mills, the largest and most substantial in
the state. He also engaged in making potash, put up carding
works, and had a very extensive store of dry goods and grocer-
ies. His love of a pioneer life took him to California in 1850. He
returned the same year via Central America. An account of his
travels and observations was published in the New York Tribune in
Jan., 1851. He returned to California the same year and engaged
in the lumber business in San Jose redwoods. In 1854 his family
joined him in California, after which he retired from business, living
most of the time in El Dorado, Placer and Nevada counties. His ability
and opportunities would have made him one of the moneyed men of
the country, had not his generous nature enabled him to feel and
practise the truth that "it is more blessed to give than to receive."
Whatever his own necessities might be he never oppressed his credi-
tors, and the needy were never sent uncared for, or unblessed from
his door.

316 THE DOANE FAMILY.
Captain Doane began his sea life on a fishing vessel at the age of
eleven, but his enterprising spirit prompted him to longer voyages.
He soon found himself under southern skies in the coasting trade,
and, by the time he was nineteen years old, we find him mate of the
ship Merchant, on the other side of the Atlantic. "When he became
twenty-one years old, he was Captain Doane, master of his vessel, in
foreign ports. Returning home he took charge of the brig Agnes in
the southern trade, and was master of the brig Wave, for several
years in the same trade. At the time of the Mexican war Captain
Doane was in charge of the brig Chattahoochee, running the blockade
with stores and ammunition for the American forces. Immediately
after the close of the war he visited Mexican ports in the carrying
trade, and was the first of his countrymen to hoist the American flag
in a Mexican port after cessation of hostilities. He returned home, and
bought the old Governor Prince farm inEastham, but after two years
of land life, he sold out to Moses Eaton, bought the brig Vande and
returned to the southern trade. Always on the watch for new enter-
prises, Captain Doane spied the drift towards the Pacific and the year
'49 found him on his way to California in the ship Canonicus. He went
into the mines. In about two years he made up his mind to return
home. He travelled from the Pacific to the gulf in an ox team.
On arriving home he again purchased the old Governor Prince farm,
and there resided the remainder of his life. His farm was the largest
in his neighborhood. He was captain of a ferryboat for some time
at East Boston, and had charge of a vessel carrying granite for the
building of Fort Sumpter. Captain Doane was remarkable all
through his life for more than ordinary health, vigor, enterprise and
industry, and, but for the cancer that troubled him two or three
years and finally ended his days, his life would probably have cov-
ered a good round century.

The funeral of the late Isaac W. Doane, yesterday, was largely attended
by the old residents, among whom were noticed a great many of the Masonic
fraternity. An impressive service was held at St. Mary's church, the Rev.
W. O. Raymond officiating, after which the remains were viewed by the con-
gregation who took a farewell look at the old familiar face. The cortege
then proceeded to the Episcopal Burying Ground where the remains were in-
terred in the lot beside those of his wife who had preceded him forty-four
years. The pall bearers were John Wishart, Charles McLaughlin, R. D. Mc
Arthur, Capt. Pritchard, ex-mayor Thomas M. Eeed and R. H. B. Tennant,
Worshipful Master of St. John Lodge, F. and A. M., of which the deceased
had been a member since 1815, at which time he was W. M. Mr. Doane was
a resident of this city for the past forty-five years. He possessed a wonder-
fully retentive memory, and it was a great pleasure to many to listen to his
recital of the incidents which had occurred in the past seventy years. — St.
John Sun, Aug. 31, 1885.

324 THE DOANE FAMILY.
345 GILBERT GRISWOLD7 DOANE (John,6 Levi,5 David,4
David,3 John,2 John1) was born at Pawlet, Vt., Sept. 12, 1815 and
died at his home in Owosso, Shiawassee Co., Mich., Oct. 31, 1885.
He married at Mexico, N. Y., in 1845, Lucy, daughter of Franklin P.
and Samantha (Mauley) Gilbert, who was born at Dresden, N. Y.
in 1827 and died at Owosso, Jan. 26, 1899. Mr. Doane lived in
Pawlet until 1832, when he went with his parents to Pulaski, N. Y.,
Having a good education and possessing good natural abilities,
he there engaged in teaching, which occupation he pursued with
marked success for a number of years. He then assumed the man-
agement, editorially and otherwise, of the Pulaski Courier; but, after
two years in this position, he entered into partnership with his brother
Charles A., in the manufacture of paper. Their mill and every-
thing pertaining to their business were destroyed by fire, and the
brother dying soon afterward, Mr. Doane found himself struggling
against adverse circumstances, to settle the business of the firm. In
the spring of 1848 he, like thousands of others, turned his face towards
the great Northwest, and with his family settled in what was then a
promising western town, but which is now the city of Chicago. In
1849, after one year's residence, in Chicago, he removed to Michigan
and settled about three miles west of the town of Owosso, to which
place his wife's father had removed a few months before. The first
few years of his life in Michigan were spent in teaching, but subse-
quently his entire time and energies were devoted to the making of a
home for himself and family in the then almost unbroken wilderness
of Michigan. Mr. Doane embraced Christianity and became a mem-
ber of the Congregational church before leaving Vermont. His young-
est daughter, though a great favorite, he freely gave to the great cause
of foreign missions. In politics he was formerly a Whig and subse-
quently a Republican. He held various township offices, and was
clerk at the headquarters of General Thomas in 1864, '65. As a
man he was strictly honest and upright, public spirited and especially
alive to everything pertaining to the cause of education. He was
a pure minded, refined christian gentleman.
His widow survived him thirteen years, the last six of which she
lived with her daughter, Mrs. Perkins. She was a christian from
early life, and united with the First Congregational church of Owosso
in 1873. Though possessed of a frail body, and thereby shut out from
active church or social life, her interest in local and public affairs
was second to none. She had a more than ordinarily active mind,
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 325
and her rich store of many and varied facts was always being called
upon by children, grandchildren and friends. She was a great lover
of the beautiful, and the care and cultivation of her flowers and plants
became an ardent passion. She had collected a large number of curios-
ities, stamps and coins and her stamp album was the envy of many
young collectors. She was deeply interested in the success of this
genealogy, and I am indebted to her for much information of the
Pawlet branch of the family.

DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 329
In 1801 Mr. Doane went with his father's family to Cleveland, where
he lived all of his life. His home was at East Cleveland. He was an
honest, upright citizen ; was a Republican from the organization of
the party, though never actively interested in political affairs. He
maintained his faculties to the last, and was one of the most active
old men of his county ; never used tobacco in any form, nor indulged
in ardent spirits. His second sight came to him, and for a number
of years before his death, he read his newspaper without the aid of
spectacles. The Cleveland Voice of Jan. 16, 1881, published an in-
teresting biographical sketch of Mr. Doane. (See John Doane's ac-
count of Doane Family, iu Annals of the Early Settlers Association

ruff, of Morristown, N. J., and later of Cleveland, whither they had
removed in 1814. Mr. Doane is said to have been a most estimable
man and a worthy citizen of East Cleveland where they resided.
After his death his widow married Mr. Cornelius Coakley. She was

church, and a woman of remarkable christian character.

Jane Hennel, b. Jan. 6, 1833. He was a manufacturer and a
philanthropist and lived in Cleveland. He attended the pub-
lic schools, the Shaw Academy, and spent one year in a law
office. At the age of twenty-one he, with others, started
for the gold fields of California, and after a journey of nine
months reached San Francisco without a dollar in his pos-
session. For a time, he worked with a shovel on the streets
of that city, to earn enough money to take him to the mines
and in a few months he joined a party bound for the Feather
river. There he became a miner, but after ten years' labor,
he returned in 1860 to Cleveland poorer than when he set
out eleven years before. In 1866 he became a member of the
firm of Harkness & Doane of Cleveland which supplied crude
petroleum to the refiners. With this connection his rise in
the business world was instantaneous, and he became a
wealthy man. He bought out Mr. Harkness and pursued the
business with success until 1873. Mr. Doane was not a
great man in political power or business success, but great,
because his soul was filled with love for God and man. He
was great, because of the strong religious instinct that
dominated his character. Unlike most men he did not attrib-
ute his success to his own talents, but deemed its fruit a
gift from God, which he only held in trust. He built the

Joseph,4 Joseph,3 Daniel,2 John1 ) was born at Maromas, Conn.,
Mar. 8, 1814 and died June 25, 1900, at Fair Haven, Conn. He
married first, at Maromas, Mar. 27, 1836, Nancy Maria Scranton,
who died at Clinton, Conn., Mar. 3, 1852. He married second, Sept.
12, 1852, Philona Lewis of Madison, Conn., who died Nov. 1, 1898.
Joseph C. Doane led a happy life during his young boyhood,
growing up under conditions that other boys might well have envied.
His father was a christian man, and disciplined his children in a

happy manner, while the gentle sympathetic mother led and encour-
aged them in all right ways. They lived on a bank of the Connecticut
river, and Joseph was familiar with all its windings and wooded banks
near his home. Here he learned to row and swim, and to skate in
winter, and as an athlete he was without an equal among the boys of
his acquaintance. These sports, together with his school life, contin-
ued until Joseph reached the age of twelve years. His father, who
possessed fine business qualities, owned and successfully opemted
extensive stone quarries, and in the rugged life of the quarry Joseph
developed a good constitution, and became a tall, muscular, well
formed man, capable of extreme endurance and hardship.
In the winter of 1837 Joseph, his brother Isaac, and sister Martha
Spencer, together with their father and mother, and two infants in
arms, emigrated to Pennsylvania. The journey of three hundred miles
was accomplished by the aid of five yoke of oxen attached to two sleds ,
Joseph acting as driver. The entire journey lasted nearly a month.
They settled in the wild regions of Springfield, now Leona, where
they cleared a tract of land, which is now the home of Isaac's children.
Here, in a sparsely settled country, Joseph spent the first eight years
of his married life. He had bought a farm and begun some improve-
ments when, on account of his wife's poor health, he sold out and
returned to Connecticut, bringing their four children, and covering
the distance this time, with a span of good horses. They settled in
North Madison, where he engaged in burning and transporting char-
coal to New Haven. It was a lucrative business. Later he sold out,
and bought a twenty- five acre farm on Long Hill, where he lived forty
years. Here the wife and mother died. She was a handsome woman,
of good family connections, a devoted christian, a wise mother and
faithful wife. Left alone with six young children, Mr. Doane in the
fall of 1S52 married again and the new mother came not only to care
for the children but to bring financial aid to the father. While in
Leona Mr. Doane, with his father and brother, was instrumental in
organizing a Methodist church, of which he was a member, and a
superintendent of its Sunday school. Later he identified himself with
the Methodist church of Clinton, of which he was a valued member.
He was a student of the Bible, his small library contained commen-
taries, histories of the church, biographies, etc., and for over forty
years he had daily family prayers in his home. The precepts and ex-
ample of this good father left their impress on the character of the
children, every one of whom has been identified with some church and

ber until his death. He was clerk and treasurer of his parish six-
teen years ; superintendent of Sunday school thirty years, and a
deacon from the organization of the church until his death. His life
was beautiful in its simplicity and purity, a shining example of an
upright christian character, consecrated to all that was lofty in motive
and beneficial to the highest principles, and is best illustrated by a
favorite passage of scripture engraved on his tombstone : " I have
kept thy precepts and thy testimonies : for all my ways are before
thee."

344 THE DOANE FAMILY.
373 ABIATHAR7 DOANE (Nathaniel,6 Elisha,5 Elisha,4
Joseph,3 Daniel,2 John1) was born at Harwich, Mass., Aug. 16,
1820. He married first, May 23, 1845, Abigail Sears, who died July
20, 1855, the daughter of Edward and Abigail Sears. Married
second, May 3, 1856, widow Mercy C. Rogers, who died in New
York city, Oct. 10, 1862, the daughter of David Eldredge of Chat-
ham, Mass. Married third, Apr. 10, 1863, Josephine Higgins, the
daughter of Paul Higgins of Orleans, Mass. Mr. Doane began his
sea life when only fifteen years of age, and the year he attained his
majority he had the command of a vessel bound for South America,
whence he carried a load of passengers to Kingston, Jamaica. After
the first voyage he owned more or less interest in the vessels he
commanded, and for more than twenty-five years he sailed on foreign
voyages without accident, never during that time calling on the un-
derwriters for damages. He was at Galveston, Texas, when the Con-
federates hauled down the stars and stripes, and those on his vessel
heard the captain's loyal prophecy, " That flag will have its resurrec-
tion." He assisted in the War of the Rebellion, and among other
commissions entrusted to him was the transportation of the gun
" Swamp Angel," which, with the load of stores for the government
forces, he carried from New York to South Carolina. In 1847, Capt.
Doane purchased his present homestead in Harwich, and in 1856
retired from the sea. Before he left the sea he commenced the cul-
ture of cranberries and eventually ranked among the successful
growers of Cape Cod. He was long interested in the affairs of the
town and commonwealth. He has served in arbitrations, and was
elected to the Legislature in 1866 and reelected in 1867. He attends
the Congregational church. His energy and caution, that made him
a successful captain on the sea, are his leading traits. — From Deyo's

boro in June, 1843, and learned the stove and tinware business with
his cousin Calvin Doane (379). After an apprenticeship of three
years, he bought out his cousin's business which he enlarged aud de-

Israel3, Daniel,2 John1) was born in New Milford, Conn., Aug. 7,
1788, and died at Circleville, O., Feb. 4, 1862. He married Feb. 14,
1821, Charlotte Thrall, who died at Omaha, Neb., June 23, 1878.
Mr. Doane entered the Sophomore class, Union College, Schenectady,
N. Y., under the venerable Dr. Nott, where he graduated with second
honors in 1818 and received the college gold medal. After graduation
he studied law at Schenectady and at the Litchfield, Conn., Law
School. In 1815 he went to the then small town of Cincinnati, O.,
and entered the law office of Judge Este where he found the practice
of law insufficiently remunerative to assure means of support, and
removed to Chillicothe, O., and there engaged as private tutor in the
family of Governor Worthiugton. From there he went in 1816 to
Circleville, O., and entered upon the practice of his profession, taking
an active interest in the political controversies of Pickaway Co., and
aiding in establishing the Olive Branch, the first newspaper published
in his county, of which he became editor and proprietor in 1817 and
1818. He served in the Legislature of Ohio in 1826 and 1827. Mr.
350 THE DOANE FAMILY.
Doane continued the practice of law with marked success until 1844,
when he became disabled by the loss of his remaining eye, the other
having been injured by an accident when fourteen years of age. He
was stricken with paralysis of the optic nerve while engaged in
addressing the jury on an important trial and from which stroke he
never recovered sight although treated by some of the best surgeons
in the country. However, he continued his interest in business and
was in the habit of regularly attending the sessions of court long
after he became obliged to give up his own practice. Mr. Doane pos-
sessed a high appreciation of his profession, a conscientious regard
of the duties imposed by the relation of attorney to client, and little
apparent regard for the pecuniary profit derived therefrom. After the
loss of his eyesight, his interest in all affairs of a public nature and
in the political history of his country seemed to increase. He was
gratified by the daily attendance of his wife, who kept him thoroughly
advised of all current news, by a course of systematic reading at
certain hours each day. The bond of sympathy between them was
very great, and her loving service continued until his death. He
was independent and outspoken ; his tastes would have led him into
literary pursuits, had circumstances permitted. A few years after
his death, his widow went to Omaha, Neb., and lived with their son
George W. the remainder of her life. To them were born ten children*
of whom but five reached maturity.

ried in Berkshire Co., Mass., Feb. 14, 1802, Miss Almira Catline.
Elder Jedediah Gray performed the ceremony, and was paid one
dollar for his services, which fee was immediately spent for gin, in
aid of " a general good time" in which the preacher joined with all
the company. When William Smith Doane was two years old, his
father moved his family from Connecticut to Great Barrington,
Berkshire Co., Mass., where he died about 1806. Soon after the
death of their father, the sons, William Smith and Argillous, set out
in a two-horse wagon for Ohio, then a far Western state, and after a
long, tedious journey of six weeks over hills and through wilderness
arrived at Marietta, Washington Co., in Nov., 1806. From Marietta
this little band of pioneers proceeded up " Duck Creek " some twelve
miles north, and settled on what was then called " Congress Land."
From there about 1819, IMr. Doane removed his family into the town-
ship of Rome. He was an industrious farmer and a good citizen.

and later spent two years at school in Danbury, Conn., com-
pleting his studies with a course at Bryant & Stratton's
Commercial College in N. Y. city. On leaving school he gave
his attention to agriculture, and his farm of six hundred
acres displays the result of his progressive management. He
is especially interested in dairying, keeping from one hun-
dred to one hundred and twenty-five head of cattle. Mr.
Doane has always been influential in local affairs, and his
counsel is esteemed in the Democratic party of his county.
In 1876 he was elected sheriff for the term of three years
and the same year he was appointed assistant Cattle Com-
missioner under General Patrick. Fraternally he is a mem-
ber of Croton Lodge, F. & A. M. He has travelled widely
in the Old World, having crossed the Atlantic ten times,
and he is no less familiar with our own land, as he has
made many journeys through its charming scenery. — From

John1) was born at Argyle, N. S., Oct. 5, 1806 and died of a fever
at Charlestown, Mass., Oct. 12, 1851. Rev. Phineas Stowe of the
Baptist Bethel, Boston, conducted the funeral services. Her remains
were placed at first in a tomb in the old Copps Hill Burial Ground,
but in the following May were interred in the Bethel Lot, on Ever-
green Ave., Woodlawn Cemetery, Chelsea, Mass. Her grave is on
the left side of the lot near the curb-stone and sixteen feet from the
front corner. She married at Yarmouth, N. S., Simeon Bartlett
Kinney who was born at Yarmouth in 1808 and died in San Francisco,
Gal., June 7, 1873 (gravestone, Masonic cemetery, San Francisco),
the son of Thomas and Lydia (Bartlett) Kinney, and grandson of
Nathan Kinney of Chatham, Mass., Barrington and Little River,
N. S. His mother, Lydia Bartlett, born Oct. 10, 1779, was descended
from Robert Bartlett of the Ann and from Richard Warren and Ed-
ward Doty of the Mayflower company. After marriage, Simeon B.
and Olive Kinney settled on his father's homestead at Little River,
where their two eldest children were born. About 1832, he moved
with his family from Little River to St. John, N. B., from which port
he sailed in command of large vessels for many years, his wife
often accompanying him on foreign voyages. About 1850, Captain
Kinney sailed from St. John for San Francisco, his family removing
soon after to Charlestown, Mass., and one year after their mother's
death the children joined their father in California.
" Capt. Simeon B. Kinney, one of the early pioneers of California died
at his residence on Post street this city, on Sunday morning, June 7th in
the 67th year of his age. Capt. Kinney was widely and favorably known
as one of the oldest and ablest shipmasters of this coast. He was born

at Yarmouth, N. S., in the year 1808, and arrived at this port in command
of the bark Duke of Wellington, from St. John, N. B., in 1850, from which
time to the present his name has been identified with the merchant marine
of San Francisco, he having been almost constantly and very successfully
engaged in coasting and in the China and East India trade from this port.
In addition to an unusually large number of old and warm friends, to whom
he was endeared by years of association, he leaves to mourn their loss, six
sons and daughters, more than twenty grandchildren and a number of great
grandchildren, all of them residents of this coast and nearly all of these
three generations of descendants present to comfort the last hours of one
who, during a long and active struggle with the cares and trials of this life,
never once failed in his duty as a man, and who died with a christian's
resignation and with a full and well founded hope of a christian's life here-
after."— Obituary, San Francisco paper.

the daughter of David and Lydia (Cook) Larkin and granddaughter
of Capt. Ephraim and Louisa (Ring) Cook, who went from Kingston,
Mass., to Yarmouth, N. S., in 1762. Mr. Doane was named for the
Rev. James Mann, a Methodist minister on the Barrington circuit at
the time of his birth. In his younger days Mr. Doane was active in
the public affairs of his township. He possessed a well informed
mind and a retentive memory. He attended the Methodist church,
and was an upright, exemplary christian man. His death was an ex-
ceedingly happy one. The end came suddenly but he was prepared
to go and passed away singing hymns and repeating the promises of
God. They resided at Barrington Head.

423 WARRP:N SMITH7 DOANE (Josiah,6 Samuel O.,5 Edmund,4
Israel,3 Daniel,2 John1) was born at Barring-ton, N. S., June 16,
1815 and died there Jan. 31, 1893. He married in Aug., 1840, Sarah
Wilson Homer, who was born at Barringtou, Sept. 30, 1816 and died
there Dec. 10, 1889, the daughter of Joseph and Mary (Wilson)
Homer. An attack of fever in 1871 left her an invalid, and for
seventeen years she was confined to her bed. She was converted and
united with the Methodist church at Barrington about 1889, and
during all the years of her affliction, her sufferings were borne with
the most perfect resignation, patience and cheerfulness. Mr. Doane
spent several years of his early manhood upon the sea, in charge of
vessels. It was during this time that an accident occurred to which
he often referred with gratitude to an overruling Providence. On a
voyage to the West Indies he sighted a small boat upon the ocean,
and found to his surprise and joy, that it contained his brother Seth
C. and other persons belonging to Barrington, who had been ship-
wrecked and whose lives were in all probability preserved by this un-
expected meeting. No man did more to build up Barrington than
Warren Doane. He was "diligent in business," persevering, prompt
and reliable. He built fifty-seven vessels in his shipyard at Barring-
ton Head, and as a ship-builder, was the means of giving employment
to a large number of men. He was a promoter and director of the
Barrington Marine Insurance Co., a promoter and managing director
of the Barrington Woollen Mill, was interested in lumbering, and for
many years carried on a large grocery business. For forty-one years
he was a consistent member of the Methodist church, and was deeply
interested in all matters pertaining to its prosperity. His hand was
ever open to the necessities of the church and the poor. It is said
380 THE DOANE FAMILY.
that he was never heard to speak ill of any person, and in a prayer
written by himself and found among his papers he asks God to enable
him at all times to discern between the good and the evil, to keep him
from slander, evil speaking and covetousness.

daughter of Winthrop and Mary Jane (Allison) Sargent. Soon
after their marriage, they sailed with a number of other passengers
in the brigantine Sebim for the gold fields of Australia. Their vessel
was dismasted on the passage out near the Cape of Good Hope, but
reached Cape Town where she was repaired, and in due time arrived
at Melbourne. They spent some years at the gold diggings at Ballarat,
but finally returned and settled clown in Barrington. He was a
member of the Methodist church at Barrington and highly esteemed
in the community.

429 HOWARD PAYNE? DOANE (Benjamin^ Edmund,5 Ed-

3, 1854 and died at Newark, N. J., Sunday, Nov. 27, 1898. He mar-
ried at Grand Pre, N. S., by Rev. Thomas Rogers, June 23, 1881,
Mrs. Sadie Allison, daughter of John and Matilda (Brown) Simson,
of Lower Horton, N. S. Howard Payne Doane was a clerk for some
years in the firm of A. F. Stoneman & Co., at Yarmouth, N. S. About
the year 1876 he entered the Nova Scotia Conference of the Wesleyan
Methodist church as a probationer and was admitted to full member-
ship in 1881. After serving his first appointment at Country Harbor
he spent three years at the educational institutions at Sackville, N.B.
During his ministerial work in the Nova Scotia Conference he was sta-
tioned at Dartmouth, Granville Ferry, Middle Musquodoboit, Coun-
try Harbor and Onslow. In 1888 he entered Drew Theological
Seminary at Madison, N. J., and while there was a successful pas-
tor of the Whippany church. Finishing his theological course he was
admitted to the Newark Conference and stationed at the South Mar-
ket St. church. After a very successful pastorate he was trans-
ferred to the Cross St. church, Paterson, and had just begun to
endear himself to the people when consumption began to make such
inroads on his constitution as to compel his relinquishing active work.
He then spent two winters at Asheville, N. C, preaching in summer
at Newark. He next took charge of the church at Wadena, Minn.,
but ill health obliged him to abandon his life work altogether. In the
vain hope that another change of climate might prove beneficial he
went to Albuquerque, N. M., but soon returned to Newark only in
time to " set his house in order."
I quote the following from Dr. Charles F. Nettleship's obituary no-
tice in the Wesleyan, of Halifax, Dec. 14, 1898 :
" This servant of Christ, while always genial and courteous, did not make
384 THE DOANE FAMILY.
rapid friendships. Those who were fortunate enough to be admitted to the
'inner circle' knew that with him, it was 'once a friend always a friend.'
Brother Doane was conservative, yet progressive ; cautious, yet not cap-
tious; strongly orthodox, yet tolerant; highly spiritual, yet not fanatical.
Unyielding where principle was concerned. A well-poised character, a ri-
pened life. The strongest feature of his life work was his unswerving faith
in, and undying devotion to the ' submerged tenth.' No one save God knows
the souls led to Christ through his well-mingled socio-spiritual methods. It
is no meaningless tribute to his character, to say he was better known and
better loved by the so called ' driftwood ' of society in Newark than, per-
haps, any other man, and many of the Roman Catholic clergy and laity held
brother Doane in the highest esteem."

430 WILLIAM7 DOANE (Daniel,6 Daniel,5 Daniel,4 Daniel,3
Daniel,2 John1) was born at Byberry, Philadelphia Co., Pa., 1799,
4, 20, died at Troy, Athens Co., 0., 1883, 11, 21 and was bur-
ied in the Friends burial-ground at Decatur. He married Jan. 24,
1828, Asenath Hampton of Blue Rock, Muskingum Co., O. He
went with his parents from Bucks Co., Pa., to Jefferson Co., O., in
1820 and from there in 1824 to Meigs township, Muskingum Co.
After his marriage he settled first in Bristol township, Morgan Co.,
but removed to Meigs township in Jan., 1836, and in October of the
same year to Chesterfield. In May, 1839, they removed to Troy,
Athens Co., where the family home has been for many years.
Mr. Doane's opinions on moral and political questions were sin-
gularly in advance of his time. Always intensely interested in public
affairs and yet never scrambling for office, he became a leader of pub-
lic opinion in his neighborhood whose motives could not be impugned.
The principles of human freedom and the perfect equality of all men
before the law, which underlay the American revolution, and were
embodied in the Declaration of Independence, early entered his soul,
and in after years seemed to possess his entire being. He espoused
the modern antislavery cause at its beginning. He opened his door,
in the town of Chesterfield, in the winter of 1838, to the first abolition
lecturer that appeared. An antislavery society was organized in his
house. He became its first president, and a delegate to the first
county convention held in M'Connelsville. He afterward became the
first president of the antislavery society organized in Decatur, Wash-
ington Co. He was one of three in his own township who voted for
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 385
James G. Birney, for President in 1844, and one of a small but in-
creasing number who voted for freedom at each presidential election
till 1856, when the majority there were with him. For thirteen years
prior to the enactment of the Fugitive Slave Law he assisted runaway
slaves as opportunity offered. He was several times threatened
with violence because of his outspoken opposition to slavery, and
perhaps would have been mobbed but for his coolness and courage.
Mr. Doane served an apprenticeship to the coach-making business in
Humesville, Pa., but spent only a few years afterwards in a shop.
He had a taste for farm life, and especially for the cultivation of fruit.
He had a vigorous frame and, with the exception of a partial paraly-
sis which in his later years rendered him almost helpless, enjoyed good
health most of his life. He had a very cheerful disposition and his
company in consequence was sought by old and young. Though
brought up among the Friends, he did not become a member of the
society till about the year 1827.

meeting with no disaster in the journey to the new country just then
opened to immigration. Mr. Doane was a surveyor and bridge
builder, a lifelong student and teacher. He was converted when
seventeen years of age, under Nathan Hunt's ministry, and was an
esteemed Friend, Elder and Minister for many years. He organized
the first Friends Sunday School in the West and was much employed
by his society, being sent a delegate to Baltimore at the time of the
"Separation." He and his wife, Eliza, were chosen to be the first
superintendent and matron of Earlham College, then known as
Friends Boarding School. He was sent West to inspect the Chero-
kee country at the time of their removal beyond the Mississippi.
Mr. Doane was noted for his excellent penmanship, and was the
scribe of the settlement, writing all the early marriage certificates.
He is said to have been a man of peculiarly pleasing address, and
was a lifelong champion of the young people. Eliza Carpenter, his
wife, was probably more esteemed as au Elder than her husband —
so calm, serene and clear was her judgment. She had a remarkable
memory and a well stored mind. She could repeat verbatim whole
chapters and even whole books. Her children and grandchildren
sat at her feet and listened by the hour, while her knitting-needles
kept time and tune to her poems. She was also a busy painstaking
housewife, spinning with her own hands the fine white linen in her
clothes presses, fragrant with the thyme and the rose from her old-
fashioned garden.

society of Friends, loved for "the practical exemplification
of christian virtues" and her genial hospitality. Her famil-

years old. Ch. : Mary B., m. Frank Moore. Caroline.

Hadley who died at Westfield, 1880, 3, 1, the daughter of Jeremiah
and Ruth Hadley. The same year of their marriage, they moved
from the South and settled in the forests near Mooresville, Ind.,
where they lived thirty-two years. In 1857, they removed to West-
field, Ind., where they spent their remaining days. They were re-
markable for their integrity and the conscientious rectitude of their
lives. They spent liberally of their time and means in the way of
hospitality, and in the interests of the church and the cause of educa-
tion. They were stanch Abolitionists in the days when it tried men's
souls to be such, and the oppressed and needy of whatever race or
color ever found with them that best of all aid, help to help them-
selves. The stone over their graves bears the motto so forcibly ex-
emplified in the lesson of their lives, " Do the duty thatlieth nearest
thee."

ond, widow Rachel Hobson, daughter of John Reynolds, formerly of
North Carolina. She died in 1876. Joseph Doane moved with his
parents, when a lad, to Blount Co., near Marysville, Tenn., and from
there to Orange Co., Ind., in 1816. He removed to Morgan Co., Ind.,
in 1830 and to Iowa in the spring of 1856, thence to Hardin Co.,
Iowa, in the autumn of the same year. His son Isaiah thus writes, Aug.
22, 1901 : "My father was a farmer by occupation, hard-working,
honest and poor. Had only such rudimental education as the log
school-house of the pioneer days afforded. He was a pronounced
Abolitionist of the Garrison, Phillips and Birney type."

spent several years as a school-teacher and at one time was
editor of a newspaper. Mr. Doane writes : "I have wor-
ried through a large amount of hard work and managed to
remain poor. The terminal ' e ' in my name is an innovation
of my own, the family for two generations having written
it without the 'e ' — thus, Doan. When a lad I was possessed
of large and sensitive auricular organs, which enabled me
to hear what the sapient seniors of the household were say-
ing, even when they did not perhaps accord me credit for
intelligence enough to comprehend their meaning. It was
in this manner that I learned incidentally that the family
name Doan was formerly written Doane, but that one
'uncle Thomas Doan' of Green Co., Teun., who was a
brother of my grandfather, and a writer of some local note,
had astutely detected the superfluity or utter uselessness
of the terminal e and had taken the responsibility to elimi-
nate it from his autograph. This was a pointer which I
never forgot and I was for years chafing under the con-
sciousness that I was a Doane without an e. Hence, when
in 1S54 I left the ancestral home in Indiana to take up my
abode among the herd of young men in Iowa, it occurred to
me that now was my opportunity to reassert my real name,
accordingly I never wrote my signature without an emphatic
e annexed, and to my surprise my brothers and sisters fol-
lowed my example. I am sorry to observe that my esteemed
cousin Abel is still worrying along without the long tabooed
e. This recalls an anecdote in my personal experience while
I yet sailed under the bald Doan. When in attendance at
the State University, Bloomington, Ind., some of the class-
mates who called the roll at chapel services uniformly called
out Do — an, making two syllables and placing a most em-
phatic accent upon the second ; and a refusal to respond to
such a perversion of my good name cost me the record of
' absent ' for one whole week of punctual attendance."

394 THE DOANE FAMILY.
May 27, 1799 and died at Burlington, N. J., Apr. 17, 1859. He mar-
ried in Boston, Mass., in 1829, P^liza Greene (Callahan) Perkins, the
widow of James Perkins of Boston. He was graduated at Union Col-
lege in 1818 and entered the General Theological Seminary with the
class of 1824. He left the Seminary in 1821 to receive Deacon's or-
ders on Apr. 19th of that year and served as an assistant to Bishop
Hobart then rector of Trinity parish, New York city. He was ad-
mitted to the priesthood Aug. 6, 182S, and assisted the Rev. George
Upfold, in founding St. Luke's church, New York ; was professor of
rhetoric and oratory in Trinity, then Washington College, in 1824-28,
and was assistant to the Rev. William Croswell in editing the Epis-
copal Watchman during the same years. He was assistant to the
Rev. Dr. Gardner, rector of Trinity church, Boston, 1828-30, and
rector of the parish 1830-32. He was elected second Bishop of the
diocese of New Jersey and was consecrated in St. Paul's chapel, New
York city, Oct. 31, 1832, by Bishops White, Onderdonk and Meade.
He founded St. Mary's Hall at Burlington, the first effort in America
" to educate the Church's girls in the Church's way." He subsequently
founded a school for boys, which became Burlington College. He
incurred certain financial obligations in providing buildings for those
institutions, which led to his being obliged to assign his property for
the benefit of his creditors and in 1851 to submit to a presentment
for trial, but the presentment was unanimously dismissed, the Dioc-
esan Convention having vindicated him before the trial was held.
He was rector of St. Mary's church at Burlington from the time of
assuming the office of Bishop up to the time of his death, and Presi-
dent of Burlington College, 1846-59. He helped to frame the first
constitution of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the
church and was the first American Bishop to preach in the Established
Church to an English congregation at the consecration of the Parish
church of Leeds, Pmgland, in 1841. Bishop Doane received the de-
gree of S. T. D. from Union, Trinity and Columbia Colleges in 1833,
and that of LL.D. from St. John's College, Annapolis, Md., in 1841.
He published Songs by the Way, a volume of poems, in 1824, and
many fugitive poems including The Wedded Flags, Softly Now the
Light of Day and Thou art the Way, found in many collections of
hymns.

College, Philadelphia, Pa., in 1850, but soon discovered
that his bent was for the ministry and not medicine. After
a course in theology he was ordained a deacon and attached
to Grace Church, Newark, N. J. His active and investi-
gating mind was yet unsatisfied however, and in 1855 he
embraced Catholicity and was received into the church by
Bishop Bayley. He then became a candidate for Holy
Orders and after studying at St. Sulpice, Paris, and at the
Colleigo Pio, Rome, he was ordained at St. Patrick's Cathe-
dral, Newark, N. J., in 1857, and in that parish commenced
his priestly career. During Bishop Bayley's administra-
tion Father Doane became the Bishop's secretary and was
made rector of the parish and chancellor of the diocese.
On the accession of Bishop Bayley to the Archiepiscopate
of Baltimore, Bishop Corrigan appointed Father Doane
Vicar-General of the diocese in 1873. In Mar., 1880, he
was made a Domestic Prelate. Monsiguor Doane became
administrator of the diocese upon Bishop Corrigan's eleva-
tion to the Archiepiscopate and his transfer to New York
as coadjutor to Cardinal McCloskey. In 1890, Monsiguor
Doane paid a visit to Rome and upon this occasion His
Holiness Leo XIII made him a Prothonotary Apostolic,
which not only gave him the right to wear the purple, but
with the consent of the Bishop of the diocese, the pectoral
cross and miter. While Monsiguor Doane has been active
in fostering the institutions of the church, especially those
of a charitable nature, he has also taken great interest in
the affairs of his country, and was chaplain during the
Civil war, receiving his baptism of fire at the first battle of
Bull Run. He has also taken great interest in the im-
provement of Newark. To him as much as to any other
man is due the erection by the government of the public
building for the use of the Post-office department on Broad
St., and which will long remain as a memorial to his ac-
tivity and for which government employees in this city are
thankful. A new Court House and City Hall Avhich he has
been constantly urging are to be built in Newark. His
agitation in favor of a new building for the police of the
second precinct has also been crowned with success. In a
word, the Monsignor is always to be found fighting in the
cause of humanity.

was one year old, her parents went from Pennsylvania to Ontario
and settled on a farm on Yonge Street, twelve miles west of New-
market, thence in 1818, they removed to Sharon. Mrs. Dunham
knew what it was to undergo the hardships of a pioneer life, but
lived to see the then widerness converted into well tilled farms. Al-
though in common with the early settlers her education was some-
what limited, she developed a talent for poetical composition, of
which she wrote a great deal, and of no inferior order.

The following obituary notice appeared in a local paper soon after
Mr. Doane's death :
One by one the old residents of this section [Aurora] are passing away,
and the time will soon arrive when there will not be one left. Another was
added to the long list of departed last Tuesday eveuing in the person of Mr.
Charles Doane whose death occurred somewhat suddenly. The old gentle-
man had been quite ill for the past two or three months, but was able to be
out until about three weeks ago when he had a severe attack, since which
time he has been confined to his bed. The deceased gentleman was born on
lot No. 94 Yonge Street, in what was known then as the Settlement of the
Society of Friends, on Nov. 6, 1808. His parents were from Bucks Co., Pa.,
and settled in Canada in 1807, subsequently moving to Sharon in 1818. At
the age of 18 he learned the trade of shoemaking supplementary to the farm-
ing experience he had acquired, and entered into partnership with his cousin
Mr. Elias Doaue, as merchant and afterwards with Hugh D. Wilson. About
the year 1850 he removed to this place [Aurora] then called Machell's Cor-
ners, and was appointed postmaster, which position he held thirty-two years
or until 1882. At the time of his removal here Toronto was but an insignif-
icant town containing but few wholesale houses. On account of this Mr.
Doane was in the habit of visiting New York once a year to purchase goods
for his store, in connection with the post-office. He had an intimate knowl-
edge of the different events which had marked Canadian history during the
398 THE DOANE FAMILY.
present century. He was one of the few men who had heard the sound of
cannon which preceded the capitulation of York in 1812. He took an im-
portant part in the Rebellion of 1837 for which he spent live months in prison
in Toronto. He was, for many years, an active participant in municipal af-
fairs and when this place was incorporated as a village in 1863 he was elected
its first Reeve which position he held also in 1867 and 1868. He was the pro- '
moter of the Aurora Cemetery Company, and since the incorporation of that
company he has annually been elected its president. For many years he had
been an earnest advocate of the temperance cause, and a trustee of the Meth-
odist church of which church he had been a consistent member for a num-
ber of years. The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon at the Aurora
cemetery.
444 JESSE7 DOANE (John,6 Ebenezer,5 Joseph,4 Daniel,3 Dan-
iel,2 John]) was born on Yonge street, Ontario, Canada, 1814, 9, 15
and died at Sharon, Ontario. He married 1834, 12, 31, Martha Ann
Brooks and resided in Sharon. Mr. Doane was a farmer and a man
of good abilities. He was a natural musician and for over thirty
years was the leader of the Sharon Band. He participated to some
extent in the McKenzie Rebellion of 1837-38 ; was arrested as a
Rebel sympathizer and confined for several months in a prison at To-
ronto, during which time the leaders, Lount and Matthews, suffered
the death penalty.

The following extract is from a notice of Mr. Doan's death in the
Newmarket Era :
It is our painful duty this week to record the death of Abraham Doan, who
died Dec. 20, 1892, at the great age of 90 yrs., 1 mo., 11 days, and was one of
the oldest pioneers in the township. He was born in Bucks Co., Pa., Nov. 9,
1802 and was the eldest son of the late Ebeuezer and Elizabeth Doan, who em-
igrated to Canada in June, 1808. Their journey here was accomplished with
great labor and inconvenience. They came in wagons Avith canvas stretched
over for covering. They travelled by Bethlehem and over the Alleghany moun-
tains and halted many times by the way to cook their meals and camp at
night, where wood and water were convenient. They were one month mak
ing the journey from Bucks Co. to Yonge street, where Ebenezer Doan
bought and settled on the farm now owned by Mr. Charles "Webb. About
the year 1820 Ebeuezer Doan moved from Yonge street to a farm about one
mile north of Sharon where the subject of this sketch lived until his death.
In politics Mr. Doan was a stanch Liberal, and never missed polling his
vote from the time he was twenty-one years old up to a few years before his
death. The funeral was largely attended, the Rev. G. McKay of the Queens-
ville Presbyterian church officiating, and the remains were interred in
Queensville cemetery.

Moses and Rachel (Tomlinson) Doane, and was nearly three years
old when his father was killed in Halsey's tavern. He lived with
his uncle, Samuel Tomlinson, who gave him a trade, a horse and a
promise that " he would do well by him." The uncle died, without
a will, leaving his promise unfulfilled. After his marriage Mr.
Doane settled, first, in Falls township where he purchased a farm for
twenty-five hundred dollars. Yielding to the persuasion of his uncle,
Joseph Doane the refugee (228), he migrated to Canada sometime
after 1823. He lived in Canada only about one year when he re-
turned and settled in Wheatland.

454 JOEL7 DOANE (Jonathan,6 Elijah,5 Israel,4 Daniel,3
Daniel,2 John1) was born 1808, 5, 10 and lived for a number of
years at Yarmouth, Ontario, Canada. He married Fanny (Minard)
Doane, widow of his brother Joshua Gillam Doane (455). Joel
Doane was one of the leaders in the McKenzie Rebellion of 1887-38,
He escaped into the United States, and finally settled in California.
455 JOSHUA GILLAM7 DOANE (Jonathan,6 Elijah,5 Israel,4
Daniel,3 Daniel,2 John1) was born 1811, 11, 7 and was hauged at
London, Ontario, Can., Feb. 6, 1837. He married Fanny Minard.
She married second his brother Joel Doane (454). Mr. Doane was
one of the leaders from Yarmouth, Ontario, in the McKenzie Rebel-
lion. With his brother, Joel, he fled into the state of New York,
where he raised a baud of desperate characters and invaded Canada.
He was defeated, captured, tried for treason and executed. I quote
the following from Frank Hunt's letter in the Toronto Globe of Sept.
6, 1890.
The Friends of South Yarmouth had bitter experiences during the regime
of the Family Compact, and some of the first settlers departed so far from
the faith of their fathers as to declare their intention to fight if need be for
404 THE DOANE FAMILY.
responsible government, and a son of Jonathan Doan sacrificed his life for
liberal principles. And no wonder. The petty officials who did the dirty
work for the Family Compact took special delight in annoying the inoffen-
sive Quakers who they supposed would quietly submit, but they found they
were mistaken. The Friends were warned out to drill contrary to all prece-
dent and the laws of the realm, and when they would not respond then-
houses were pillaged by the petty officials who levied tribute, and proceeded
to help themselves to the most useful property at hand From Mr.
Haight I learned where rested the remains of Joshua G. Doan, the young
patriot, and his friend the American Perley who were executed in London in
1837 for espousing the cause of Win. Lyon McKenzie and the people of
Canada. Doan's wife and child were permitted to see him for a few min-
utes before his execution, and when the time was up, they had to be torn
away from him, and dragged out of the cell. It was a most heartrending
scene. He died like a brave man and with his dying breath he prayed that
the power of the Family Compact might be broken, and good government
given to the people. His prayer was answered, and his remains had hardly
returned to mother earth before the Family Compact was only a thing of
the past. Israel Doane went to London twice after the execution and
requested that he be given the remains of his brother and Perley, to be
buried in the Friends burying-ground at Sparta, but his request was not
granted. The third time he was more successful, and brought their bodies
to the meeting-house where a large concourse of people were assembled.
They were frantic with grief, and Doan's brothers walked up and down in
front of the meeting-house refusing to be comforted. We visited the
Friends cemetery near by, and, as I viewed the neglected graves, covered
with long grass, their locality known to but few, I wondered how long it
would be before the people of Canada, who enjoy the blessing of responsi-
ble government, would do their duty to the memories of the men who dared
oppose the tyranny of the Family Compact, and were brave enough to give
up their lives for the sake of liberal principles Yes, I knew Josh
Doan, said Mr. Haight, and he was a splendid sample of a man. He was
fearless to a fault, and being possessed of a large sinewy frame, few men
in the township cared to dispute his prowess. He was openhearted and
always willing to do anyone a good turn. Josh Doan was a manly fellow,
and there was great sorrow at his death.
Several young men from Yarmouth were apprehended and taken to Lon-
don, but all were liberated except Doan, and many more escaped to the
States. They have passed to their rewards, and even those who were their
bitter opponents during those troublous times, admitted before the grave
closed over them, that the cause they contended for was a righteous one,
and that these colonies received responsible government more quickly
through what was considered the rash acts of the patriots, than they would
have if everybody had quietly submitted to the state of affairs that existed,
and calmly waited for tyrannical officials to give up their power and become
more liberal in their views.

Clara Hale Strong, who was born at East Mendon, N. Y., Oct. 4,
1841, the daughter of Rev. Ephraim and Julia Hills (Barnard)
Strong. Mr. Doane graduated at Illinois College, Jacksonville, 111.,
in 1848, and at Union Theological Seminary in 1854 ; was ordained
to the ministry in New York city, Feb. 26, 1854 and embarked at
Boston, on June 4th of the same year, a missionary of the A. B. C.
F. M. for Micronesia, arriving at Ponape, the principal island of the
group, Feb. 6, 1855. Here for thirty-three years he was in charge
of the mission station. Circumstances made it necessary for him to
be transferred to the Marshall Islands and to Japan, but the people
of Ponape had his heart and to them he returned, and for them en-
dured and suffered with unwearied gentleness, courage and cheering
success. With his associates the mission work was prosecuted most
successfully, schools and churches were established and the gospel
was disseminated throughout the whole group of Islands. In 1887, on
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 409
the arrival of the Spanish forces to occupy the islands, an effort was
made to oust the Protestant mission and supplant it by one of the
Roman Catholic church. The mission property was invaded, its
prints used as if they were common property, the natives were intim-
idated in the practice of the faith the missionaries had brought them,
and opposition was shown on every hand. For a remonstrance
against these things Mr. Doaue was arrested. The arrest was most
unexpected. While at work fifteen miles from Oua, the principal
mission station, lie was suddenly confronted by a lieutenant and a
file of soldiers, seized, and put in the hold of a ship and sent as a pris-
oner to Manila, two thousand miles away. Within one week after
his departure, exasperated by the exactions and indignities put upon
them by the Spanish, the natives, being without Mr. Doane's influ-
ence to restrain them, rushed upon the fort. The priests and women
fled to the ships but the governor and every soul of his command
were massacred as they attempted to make the beach. Through the
efforts of Julius Voigt, United States consul at Manila, Mr. Doane
was liberated and returned with apologies to his station. His in-
fluence throughout the islands was increased by what had trans-
pired. Though his health declined, he clung to his beloved work till
the spring of 1890, when he was conveyed by the Morning Star to
Honolulu, where in two weeks he breathed his last at the home of
Rev. Dr. Hyde. The eve befoi'e he died, too weak to utter many
words, he said to Dr. Lowell Smith, " I am trusting in Jesus." For
thirty-three years, with two or three brief intervals this devoted mis-
sionary, hidden away in the depths of the Pacific, gave his life in
patient service to the uplifting of those degraded islanders. He
found them unclad savages, sullen and hostile. Through the labors
of his associates and himself he left thousands of them living in
sweet christian homes, devout worshippers in the house of God. The
Rev. Luther H. Guliclc, one of the early company of missionaries on
Ponape, writes :
"Mr. Doane was one of the choice spirits of the missionary world. I
was on Ponape when he first arrived there in 1855 and soon learned to love
and admire him. He was disinterestedly attached to the missionary work
and his hopefulness was very marked. His many domestic afflictions only
served to make him the more spiritual and hopeful. He was in many re-
spects a model missionary— cheerful, manly and sensible."
In 1860, Mr. Doane prepared a Primer and Hymn Book of forty-
four pages for the use of Marshall Islanders, and in 1863 appeared a

small book of Hymns. He also translated a portion of the New Tes-
tament into the Ponapean tongue.

472 ISAIAH7 DOANE (Isaiah,6 Elisha,5 Elisha,4 Hezekiah,3
Ephraim,2 John1) was born in Boston, Mass., July 12, 1785 and
died in New Orleans, La., May 6, 1839. He married first, in 1815,
Maria Dunton, who died in 1822, the daughter of William Dunton of
Philadelphia, Pa. Married, second, Caroline L. Underwood of St.
Marys, Ga., who was born in June, 1808 and died in New Orleans,
La., Feb. 13, 1890. Mr. Doane early developed a great love for the
sea, and as a young man made several East India voyages and while
still a young man became a shipmaster. He was commissioned by
President Jefferson, Feb. 23, 1809, to rank from June 18, 1808, a
Captain, in the 4th Regiment U. S. Infantry, but disliking the service
he resigned after one or two years. When the War of 1812 broke
out he entered at once into privateering. He was a prisoner for a
short time in British hands, but was released and became 1st Lieut,
of the privateer schooner Scourge, fifteen guns, and shortly after be-
came her commander.
His cruising ground was the English Channel and the North Sea.
He captured many prizes of value, among others two armed brigs,
with which he had a severe engagement, having one on each side,
but compelling both to strike their colors. He caused the release of
over one hundred American seamen by exchange for his captors, and
was known as a daring and intrepid commander. Many of his prizes
he sent to Drontheim, Norway, where in Jan., 1814, he was blockaded
and forced to remain several months. In 1826, he was appointed
Captain of the TJ. S. Revenue Schooner Marion, stationed at St. Marys,
Ga., and took up his residence there. While in service he captured a
large slaver, filled with slaves, and brought her into port. One of the
slaves — a boy — could never be induced to leave Captain Doane and
remained with him till his death. In 1829, Captain Doane resigned
from the service and moved to New Orleans, where he resided till
his death. In New Orleans he was made Treasurer of the second
Municipality and occupied a prominent position, taking great interest
in all public matters. The papers of the time speak of his death as
a great public loss.

1792 and died there Apr. 13, 1842. He was a man of integrity,
kindness and skill in his profession. In 1808, at the age of fifteen,
he was admitted into Harvard University. In 1812 he was graduated,
a reputable scholar, in a class that reflected honor on its Alma Mater.
In the autumn of 1812 he entered upon the study of medicine and
never lost an opportunity to do good, serving at the bedside of the
sick. He never flinched from duty while the ci*y of suffering was
heard. Night after night did he keep vigil at the bedside of the poor
who had submitted to painful and perilous surgical operations. His
pupilage was filled with self-denial and continued painful toil.
420 THE DOANE FAMILY.
So decided had been his character as a faithful medical student and
an upright man, that one of the best educated physicians of his time,
a regimental surgeon to the militia detachment at South Boston dur-
ing au early period in the war of 1812, selected and recommended Mr.
Doane for a commission as an assistant surgeon. At the close of the
year 1814, while yet in his pupilage, he received his commission as
assistant surgeon in the U. S. Navy, and in the spring of 1815 he
was ordered to repair to New York and report himself to Commodore
Jones, who sent him on board the Macedonia bound for the Mediter-
ranean. On July 2, 1815, he arrived at Gibralter where he was ap-
pointed acting surgeon of the Constellation until her arrival at Port
Mahon. This was the naval station for the American fleet, where a
hospital was founded to which Dr. M. Reynolds had been appointed
chief surgeon and Dr. Doane assistant surgeon. For several months
Dr. Doane had entire charge of the establishment and thus writes in
his journal :
"I have been here more than three mouths entirely alone, the only re-
sponsible person here and burdened with everything — attending personally to
every article of provision, medicine, clothing ; purchasing and expending;
paying all bills ; examining all accounts ; and at the expiration of every month
making a settlement of everything, and having also by night and by day the
constant care of the sick, to prescribe and give all the medicine with my
own hand. Yet, from habitual method there is no confusion, no irregularity.
This is a situation which calls forth and holds in exercise all the energies of
my mind. I have also become engaged in quite an extensive practice among
the poor, and as I attend them gratis between thirty and forty children are
brought to me daily. They express much gratitude, and it is impossible to
attend on the poor and sick without feeling for them the sincerest compas-
sion. Here the poor never beg except of God, and of Him for patience only."
When Commodore Decatur of Cape de Gatt had crippled and
conquered the Algerine fleet, Dr. Doane was ordered on board the
Meeshanda, the flagship of the enemy, to take charge of the wounded.
Here his sympathies were well tried. The barbarous custom of in-
flicting corporal punishment upon criminals by the mutilation of their
limbs, had awakened among the Algerines a horror of surgical opera-
tions, as badges of disgrace. These brave warriors preferred death to
dishonor. Dr. Doane had much to encounter from this prejudice and
with the zeal of an apostle he besought their patient endurance of the
necessary treatment, and succeeded in disabusing their minds of their
unnatural prejudices. When his kindness and skill had won them

back to the love of life, their gratitude was unbounded. They be-
sought him to accompany them to Algiers where they promised him
a life of ease which, to the Algerian mind, was the summum bonuwi
of existence.
In 1819 Dr. Doane returned to Boston, resigned his commission,
and the following year submitted to an examination for a degree as
Doctor of Medicine, after which he turned his attention to a miscel-
laneous practice in Boston, his native town, and soon gained the
confidence of the people. His well known good character bad secured
him the respect and good wishes of several among the eminent phy-
sicians of the town, and he was recommended to his neighbors and
fellow citizens as a skilful practitioner of medicine and surgery. On
the 12th of Feb., 1821, he was unanimously elected physician to the
Boston Asylum for Indigent Boys, and in Feb., 1827, he was chosen
one of the consulting surgeons to the Massachusetts General Hospital.
Such were the delicacy of his manners and devotion to his cases that
he early acquired a large obstetrical practice, and practice among
children. More than three thousand cases of midwifery are recorded
on his books, between 1820 and his death in 1842.
Dr. Doane never married. His philanthropy, therefore, was more
diffusive than otherwise it might have been. His sisters shared largely
in their brother's affections, and participated freely in the fruits of
his prosperity. The poor, particularly the sick poor, found in him a
friend. His time, his labor and his money were freely employed in
the effort to alleviate the condition of suffering humanity. His be-
nevolence knew no limit in the effort to aid rising merit, in its onward
struggle. So general had been his kindness to all within his reach,
that he was universally hailed as a benefactor and philanthropist by
his contemporaries. His generous labors literally wore and broke him
down. He visited patients on the very day preceding the night of
his death. It is supposed that an affection of the heart, aggravated
by unremitting professional toil, caused his sudden death. In a par-
oxysm of dyspnoea he had but just time to alarm a beloved sister, in
whose arms he quietly breathed out his life. Medical aid had been
summoned but in vain.
After his death Dr. Shattuck of Boston wrote a brief biographical
sketch of Dr. Doane which was printed in the New England Quar-
terly Medical Journal. This was reprinted in a small pamphlet for
the family and friends, and a steel portrait (from Badger's painting) ,
also an engraving of his monument in Mt. Auburn cemetery, were in-

serted. Dr. Doane's library and surgical instruments were donated
to the Boston Society for Medical Improvement.

1784; baptized Apr. 18, 1784, at Trinity church, by Rev. Samuel
Parker, and died at Cohasset, Mass., Jan. 7 (or June 7) 1825. He
married Dec. 20, 1807, Mary Bailey, of Scituate, Mass., who died at

at which he worked for several years accumulating quite a
fortune. Success proved too much for him and in a short
time his fortune was lost in wild speculation. He then se-
cured the position of yard-master at the Boston station of
the New York and New England R. R., but finally returned
to Cohasset, where, it is said, he was the most eccentric in-
dividual of the South Shore. Ch. : Clara Jane, m. Edward

and died there Sept. 19, 1878. He married, in 1809, Susannah Wen-
dell Hewes, who died at Cohasset, in Aug., 1879, aged 86 years, the
daughter of Solomon Hewes of Boston. The following appreciative
notice of Mr. Doane was written by his friend Solomon Lincoln, Sr.,
of Hingham :
" The Hon. James C. Doane, a venerable gentleman and prominent citizen
of Cohasset, died in that town on Thursday last. He was ninety years and
ten days old at the time of his decease. Mr. Doane was a gentleman of
marked character and of eminent qualifications for public service, which
were duly appreciated by his fellow citizens, and frequently conspicuous in
various offices. In early life he was employed several years in the dry goods
store of MacKay and Prince, Boston. Two years more were spent in the
retail dry goods business in Boston, in company with his brother, Samuel,
upon whose death, in 1817, Mr. Doane removed to his native town of Cohas-
set which was his place of residence for the remainder of his life. From
1817 to 1854 he was actively engaged in the fishing, coasting and freighting
business.
An enumeration of the various offices which Mr. Doane filled, will give
some idea of the extent of his services to the public. Omitting any notice of
several minor offices, he was a member of the boards of selectmen, assess-
ors, overseers of the'poor, and school committee of Cohasset for many years,
in all of which his services were laborious and valuable.
He was a member of the State convention of 1820-21 to revise the consti-
tution, and also of the convention of 1853 for the same purpose. Beside
other civil offices he was a commissioner for Norfolk Co., from 1844 to 1857,
a representative from Cohasset to the General Court for five years and a
member of the Senate for Norfolk Co., for 1848 and 1849. The best evidence
of the estimation in which he was held by the people may be found in his
frequent reelection to offices. Mr. Doane was for many years well known in
Cohasset and vicinity. As a gentleman and citizen he was highly esteemed,
as a friend and neighbor he was faithful and true. He was distinguished for
his public spirit and zeal for the promotion of the interests of his native
town. He had many warm friends whose attachment was not weakened but
rather increased with age. It is a pleasure to look back upon an acquaintance
with him for more than half a century, and to reflect upon the recollection
of his many virtues, civic, social and domestic."

when about fourteen years old, and was at school in Maine
until he entered the hardware store of William Greeuough
& Co., at 39 South Market street, Boston. Here he re-
mained until he was twenty-one when he went into the
wholesale hardware business for himself in Fhiladelphia,

keeping in touch with his relatives at Cohasset by yearly
visits to the salt waters of Massachusetts Bay. He re-
mained in Philadelphia until 1852, when he went West and
engaged in the coal-mining and shipping business. A short
time before his father's death he returned to Cohasset,
where he spent his remaining years on the old homestead.

487 BENJAMIN7 DOANE (Nehemiah,6 Thomas,5 Thomas,4
Thomas,3 Ephraim,2 John1) was born at Barrington, N. 8., Sept. 7,
1823. He married at Barrington, Mar. 18, 1852, Maria R. Knowles,
who died in Brooklyn, N. Y., July 23, 186-1 (buried in Greenwood
cemetery, Brooklyn) the daughter of John and Lydia Ann (Doane)
Knowles and granddaughter of Prince Doane (205). At the age of
fourteen Mr. Doane began following the sea, shipping as cook of a
coasting schooner. On his first voyage, as the vessel was beating
up Halifax Harbor, cannons were booming from the citadel and
men-of-war, and the city and shipping were decorated with bunting
in honor of the coronation of Queen Victoria. Until he was twenty-
one years of age, he sailed out of Halifax, serving before the mast,
principally in the West India trade.
In the year 1845, weary of the hardships of these voyages and fol-
lowing the promptings of an adventurous spirit, he went as boat-
steerer of the wrhaleship Athol, of St. John, N. B., commanded by
Capt. James Doane Coffin, of Barrington, on a whaling voyage to the
South Seas. After three years of stirring adventures he left the Athol
in Sydney, N. S. "W. to receive surgical treatment for a knife-wound
in the hand, suffered nearly six months before in the Sea of Okhotsk,
while engaged in cutting-in a whale. Gold had not then been dis-
covered in Australia; so, his hand having healed, he made his way
home in merchant ships.
432 THE DOANE FAMILY.
In the intervals between "cuts" on the Athol, Mr. Doane had
studied navigation and arithmetic under the captain's tuition, and on
his return soon obtained a captain's berth. His first voyage as master-
was in the brig Ambassador, of Shelburne, N. S., lumber-laden,
from Port Medway to Barbadoes. The morning after leaving port
(Dec. 12, 1851), in a living gale of wind, while the brig with her
deckload was covered thick with ice from stem to stern, a schooner
in a sinking condition and flying signals of distress was fallen in with-
She proved to be the Arrival, Capt. Tappen and five men, bound
from Cascumpeque, P. E. I., to Newburyport, Mass., and owned by
the U. S. Consular agent at Charlotte town. The rescue of the men
was accomplished ; a remarkable feature of it being that two of them,
by Captain Doane's direction, climbed to the end of the schooner's
mainboom, and he laid the brig so close under her stern that they
stepped off the boom into the brig's main rigging.
Soon after his marriage, in 1852, Capt. Doane removed to New
York, adopted American citizenship, and thereafter sailed continu-
ously from that port till his retirement from the sea in 1889. On the
outbreak of the Civil war he volunteered in the Union Navy and re-
ceived an ensign's commission, but was never called into actual
service. For over twenty years he commanded steamships in the
employ of Win. P. Clyde & Co., his last ship being the Cherokee,
the first of the magnificent new fleet of that line, plying beween New
York, Charleston and Jacksonville.
That as a young man the subject of this sketch possessed remark-
able physical powers, all his old shipmates attest. "To go from one
yardarm to the next, he would climb the leach of the topsail," vouches
one who sailed with him for years. "He could hang on by his eye-
lids"— "he could tie himself in a knot," are the comprehensive hyper-
boles of others. Of the brave deeds gallantly performed with which
his life was crowded, we can only mention here — the saving of two
little children from drowning in Halifax Harbor ; saving his cap-
tain's life in a mutiny in the South Pacific ; preventing the murder
in the Japan Islands of a man whom he cordially hated ; the rescue
at sea above narrated ; putting down single-handed a desperate
mutiny at night on the barque Theresa in New York lower bay.
Of these, this brief statement is the only record, while many others
equally to his credit remain untold, in which he evinced the same
unflinching fortitude of spirit and resourcefulness in danger, with
which he was so plentifully endued. Nor was he merely a man of
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 433
action. He has lifelong extended bis acquaintance with English lite-
rature and has a fine appreciation of its beauties. The finest of the
"Percy Ballads," "Marmion," much of "Childe Harold," "The
Corsair," and his especial favorite, "Falconer's Shipwreck," he has
known by heart for fifty years.
Indulgent of the shortcomings of others, rigorously exacting of
himself, something of his character may be judged by the precepts
which he set himself to observe: "Never do yourself what you
would condemn in others." "Do the duty that lies nearest even if
you thereby let the 'main chance' go." "If I would lie for you,"
he said on an important occasion to his shipowners, "how could you
be sui-e that others might not induce me to lie against you?" En-
dowed with unusual strength of constitution and vitality, Captain
Doane "obeying still in age the law in youth obeyed," retains at 79
a great measure of his bodily vigor and undiminished mental activity.

Samuel,3 John,2 John1) was born at Lowell, Mass., May 8, 1827 and
died at Glasford, 111., Dec. 20, 1898. She married Dec. 11, 1845,
Shaderick L. Scott, who was born in Montgomery Co., Ky., Dec.
11, 1822 and died at Glasford, Mar. 21, 1901, the son of William
L. Scott, a native of Scotland. When a young girl she moved with
her parents from Lowell to Buffalo, N. Y. and from there to Fulton
Co., 111. Her remarkable memory, which she retained to the last,
enabled her to portray that memorable trip made through the Erie
Canal and to picture Chicago as it was in the early 30's. She began
her married life in a small log cabin in the wilderness near Glasford,
Peoria Co., 111. It was the typical dwelling of the early settlers.
A wide old-fashioned fire-place occupied one end of the kitchen.
Above this were swung the pots and kettles, while the red hot embers
were utilized to bake the johnny cake. Her first table consisted of
a barrel with a board across the top. An apple tree planted by her,
in a spot where the brush had been cleared away, is still standing and

bearing fruit. Thus, in the wooded Illinois valley, she and her hus-
band began the battle of life, but by the help of her willing hands
and Yankee pluck, the humble home was finally transformed into a
residence of comfort and abundance. In her earlier years she was
a frequenter of the house of God, but later in life her home duties
and failing health deprived her of that privilege. Notwithstanding
these cares her sunny disposition soon dispelled every cloud which
came to darken her home, and when it was her lot to sacrifice con-
veniences and enjoyments, she did it with the consolation that all
things earthly must soon have an end. She died as she had lived,
full of hope for a blessed immortality.

438 THE DOANE FAMILY.
Samuel,3 John,2 John1) was born in Chicago, 111., Feb. 1, 1834. He
married, in 1863, Nancy Ann Crossen. His boyhood was spent in
typical pioneer life among the Indians, and he early developed a brave
and self-reliant spirit. He united with the family in protecting them-
selves against the wiles and tomahawks of the savage Indians. His
surroundings were such as to deprive him of the advantages of an
early education. In the year 1853 his parents emigrated to Canton,
111., where Seth, then a youth of eighteen years, " caught the gold
fever," and impelled by a spirit of adventure, left home and friends
and started for the Pacific coast in search of gold. He started out
from Kingston, 111., in Feb., 1854, taking boat to St. Louis, where
he was joined by his brother Leander, and brother-in-law, Matthew
Wells. Together they continued the journey by boat up the Mis-
souri river to St. Joseph, then the eastern terminus for traders get-
ting ready to cross the "Great American Desert." Here he most
generously shared his hard earned savings with his brother Leander,
who had just recovered from the "Asiatic cholera." Leaving St.
Joseph on Apr. 25, 1854, alone, and with only two dollars in money,
he set out to make the trip overland, a distance of twenty-five hun-
dred miles and requiring five months' travel. With characteristic
energy he worked his way by driving a team of eight oxen attached
to a freight wagon, and after months of continued hardship he ar-
rived, on August 13th of the same year, at Shasta, Cal., having one
dollar and fifty cents left. He had spent fifty cents during the jour-
ney and that to buy a veil with which to protect his eyes from the
sand. Here the boy of nineteen years with bucket, pick, shovel and
gunny sack, went up the gulch far beyond the claims of others to
dig out his fortune. For three years young Doane battled with the
miners "rocker" making from six to twelve dollars per day, but during
that time the novelty and romance of the life fled, and Seth fled also.
For some years after this he led the life of a ranchman. Later he went
to San Francisco and in Nov., 1862, boarded the Golden Era, a com-
bined sail and steamboat, and embarked for New York via the
Isthmus of Panama. The vessel narrowly escaped destruction in
the Pacific while near the tropic of Cancer, but arrived at New York
after a voyage of twenty -four days. From there he returned to the
home of his parents near Canton, 111., where he bought a tract of
land, with his earnings in the gold fields, and engaged in farming.
He remained on this farm five years ; then, seeking a milder climate,
he journeyed by " Prairie Schooner Route" to the unbroken plains of
(No. 495b.)

496 GEORGE WOOD8 DOANE (Leonard,7 Samuel,6 Nehemiah,5
Solomon,4 Samuel,3 John,2 John1) was born at Dana, Mass., June
20, 1827 and died there Jan. 20, 1899. He was married atPepperell,
Mass., Aug. 26, 1846, by Rev. David Andrews, to Mary Elizabeth,
daughter of William and Mary (Blood) Shattuck of Pepperell. She
was born at Pepperell, Apr. 21, 1828. George Wood Doane was a
beloved and much indulged only son; social, sanguine, ardent; in
his youth he loved the gayeties of life, and was known far and near.
His absolute freedom from alcoholism and contempt of every degree
of drunkenness, led him early to join what was known as the Wash-
ingtonian Temperance movement, and doubtless kept him from many
temptations open to young men of his day. As he matured he de-
veloped an innate integrity, which in middle and later life made him
a man of strictest honesty. It was said of him, by one to whom he
owed a sum of money, " I had as soon have his word as his note,"
and the result justified the trust. In business, he followed his father
and for many years was a worker and dealer in palm-leaf. When he
lived in Winchester, N. H., however, from '51 to '57, a part of the
time he was a successful agent for a firm manufacturing patent medi-
cines, with Southern New Hampshire and Eastern Massachusetts, as
his territory. Returning to Dana, he was a manufacturer of and dealer
in palm-leaf goods, until the Cuban ten-year war cut off the source of
his supplies. He then became a farmer and carpenter, having a
natural mechanical gift and being skilled in the use of tools. In re-
ligion he followed his wife ; nominally, at first, a Universalist, he
gradually adopted the standpoint of the Congregational church, and
although never a communicant, for many years he gave the church at
Dana his support and was a regular attendant on its services to the
time of his death. In politics he followed his father, a Free Soiler,
a Republican, and first, last and always a temperance voter. He
was not, however, a public man. In town and county affairs he used
his influence and cast his vote for what he deemed progress, but
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 441
neither sought nor held public office. He was too independent in his
opinions to be a leader among men, yet he was often influenced in
forming his opinions by those whose judgment he respected. Al-
though he relied with confidence on his own judgment, he was rather
humble minded than egotistic. He bore misfortune with patience
and with an outlook of hope, and carried into the chill of age the
warm enthusiasm of youth. This disposition was especially mani-
fested when, in 1888, his house and household goods were destroyed
by fire. He built a substantial house on the site of the old building
on Pottanpanque Farm, and though his losses and subsequent ex-
penses were considerable he never repined. Of this house, his son-
in-law Edward Gilmore was architect, his son Charles was builder
and he himself and son Albert worked in its construction. At the
town-meeting following the fire, a rebate of his taxes for the year
was voted by the towu. This act he received with a special sense of
gratitude, as also he did the celebration of his golden wedding given
by his children in 1896, a social function attended by a large com-
pany of townspeople who brought substantial evidence of their esteem
for him and his wife. Mr. Uoane, like his father, was broad and
liberal minded, had a large view of affairs, great charity for the
faults and respect for the views of others even while differing from
them. Kind, generous and free to help others even at the expense
of his own interests, cheerful and helpful, appreciative of kindness,
enterprising, energetic and honest in business, he taught his children
to be thorough in their work and faithful to trusts. His nature was
susceptible and responsive to noble influences and thus his thought
and life strengthened with his years. Although his last two or three
years were enfeebled by disease, it truly may be said of him " his
last days were his best days."

500 THOMAS8 DOANE (John,7 Timothy,6John,5 Simeon,4 Sam-

died at West Townsend, Vt., during a visit to that place, Oct. 22,
1897. He was buried in Orleans. He married first, Nov. 5, 1850,
Sophia Dennison Clark, who died Dec. 1, 1868. Married second,
Nov. 19, 1870, Louisa Amelia Barber, born at Brattleboro, Vt., Apr.
13, 1828, daughter of Anson and Louisa (Potter) Barber. Mr. Doane
attended the Orleans Academy until he was nineteen years old, and
then spent five terms at the English Academy at Andover, Mass.
Leaving this school he entered the office of Samuel Felton, one of
the most noted civil engineers of his time in the country and a lead-
ing citizen of Charlestown, Mass. After three years in Mr. Felton's
office, he was placed in charge of a division of the Vermont Central
Railroad and later was for two years resident engineer of the
Cheshire Railroad, at Walpole, N. H. In Dec, 1849, he returned
to Charlestown and, in company with his brother, John Doane, Jr.,
opened an office at 21 City Square, under the firm name of T. & J.
Doane, Jr., for the general practice of civil engineering and survey-
ing, an office which was maintained until his death. The firm also
maintained for many years, ending in 1870, a Boston office ; first at 4

Cornhill Court and later in Barrister's Hall, Court Square. Mr. Doane
had at one time or another been connected with all the railroads run-
ning out of Boston, but particularly with the Boston and Maine. In
1863 he was appointed chief engineer of the Hoosac Tunnel and lo-
cated the line of the tu nnel, built the dam in the Deerfield River to
furnish water power, and in this work introduced nitro-glycerine and
electric blasting for the first time in this country. He also intro-
duced compressed air and invented the machinery for it, and had a
large share in inventing the pneumatic drills used there. On the open-
ing of the tuunel in 1875 he ran the first engine, the " N. C. Munson"
through it. In 1869 he went to Nebraska and built two hundred and
forty miles of railroad on the extension of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy Railroad, and located and named nearly all the towns on
the extension. Completing his work in Nebraska in 1873 he returned
to Charlestown and soon afterward was reappointed consulting engi-
neer of the Hoosac Tunnel, and had charge of the reconstruction of
the Troy and Greenfield Railway and of the tunnel. He finished his
duties in this direction in 1877 and two years later was appointed
consulting and acting chief engineer of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
for one year. During that time he located the Pend d'Oreille divis-
ion across the Columbia Plains, in Washington Territory, and parts
of the Missouri Division in Dakota.
Mr. Doane was employed at one time as consulting engineer of
the West End Street Railway, Boston, and in the winter of 1887-8,
in company with other officials of the railway visited a number of
Western cities for the purpose of examining cable systems.
A large part of the engineering for the city of Charlestown was
done by Mr. Doane previous to that city becoming a part of Boston
in 1874.
For more than twenty years and until the time of his death, Mr.
Doane was an active member of the Boston Society of Civil Engi-
neers. He was elected President shoi'tly after its reorganization in
1874 and was nine times reelected to that position. He became
a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1882.
From 1869 to 1873, while a resident of Nebraska, he was instru-
mental in founding "Doane College," situated at Crete, on the "Big
Blue" River twenty miles west of Lincoln, and one of the leading-
educational institutions of that state. Offers by the railroad com-
pany of six hundred acres of choice land adjoining the town site, and
of fifty lots in the town of Crete by the Eastern Land Association

were made on condition that other valuable property be secured.
Through Mr. Doane's influence, and his own liberal contributions,
these conditions were fulfilled, and in appreciation of his efforts, of
his generous aid, his active participation in every good enterprise, re-
ligious, educational, patriotic, but more especially because of his
character as a man, the corporate body wrote his name into the arti-
cles of incorporation and the institution came to be called Doane
College. Events have justified the incorporators in bestowing this
name. From the first, Mr. Doane was a constant and liberal giver,
an invaluable adviser and colaborer. The college contains four sub-
stantial brick buildings, a spacious campus, well-equipped labora-
tories and dormitories for both sexes. It maintains classical and
scientific collegiate courses, a military department and a conservatory
of music. Mr. Doane rarely failed to attend the commencement
exercises, making yearly a trip to Nebraska for this purpose. He
was one of the trustees at the time of his death. He prospered
financially, and by his will the bulk of his estate will eventually go
to Doane College as an endowment. Doane College is his monument
and to this seat of classic study he gave thought, labor and money,
making many sacrifices for its welfare in which his family shared.
Mr. Doane possessed a strongly religious spirit, and he early as-
sociated with the church, being for many years a member and a
senior deacon of the old Winthrop Congregational church of Charles-
town. He was the first president of the Charlestown branch of the
Young Men's Christian Association, and was a member of the Con-
gregational Club of Boston. He was a director of the Associated
Charities of Boston, and president of its Charlestown branch. He
was a vice-president of the Hunt Asylum for Destitute Children.
He was a member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society,
and of the American College and Educational Society, and was for
more than thirty years a Justice of the Peace.
Mr. Doane resided for many years at No. 8 Pearl Street, in one of
the oldest houses in Charlestown. It was at one time owned by
Oliver Holden, the composer of the famous hymn " Coronation,"
who lived there for years and died in one of the upper rooms. The
house was the last piece of property in the vicinity that was kept in
the original state. It was never painted or refitted while Mr. Doane
occupied it, he preferring to keep it in its original condition on ac-
count of the historical connections.
For many years Mr. Doane's figure going to and from his office

was a familiar one on the streets of Charlestown. He was a man of
fine appearance, and had a manner that attracted even strangers to
him. Although seventy-six years of age it could only be told by
his white hair and beard. He was tall, broad shouldered and as
erect in his carriage as a trained soldier.

501 JOHN WESLEY8 DOANE (Joel,7 Uriah,6 Benjamin,5 Sim-

23, 1828 and died of heart trouble in his apartments at the Holland
House, New York city, Mar. 23, 1901 (buried in Thompson). He
married Nov. 11, 1855, Julia Ann Moulton, who died at Thompson,
Jan., 1902. Mr. Doane began " at the foot of the ladder" in busi-
ness. He took what little money his family could give him, and
went to Chicago about 1854 or 5, and embarked in the grocery busi-
ness. He got ships and finally dealt only in ship loads, entire cargoes,
and owned whole sections of Chicago. He prospered exceedingly and
became one of the very wealthy men of the country, and one of the
great forces in trade principally in the West. The fire of 1871 de-
stroyed all his property and on borrowed capital he began business
anew, soon turning his attention to the importing of coffee, teas and
spices. He was at the head of the firm of J. W. Doane & Co., with
offices at Chicago, New York, London and Rio Janeiro. His wealth
has been estimated as high as ten millions of dollars. He was a di-
rector in the Pullman Car Co., in the New York and New England

was the nominee of that party for Congress from the First District
of Illinois. The last two years of his life he lived in New York city,

506 CHARLES RUSSELL8 DOANE (Russell,7 Myrick,6 Isaiah,5
Simeon,4 Samuel,3 John,2 John1) was born at Eastham, Mass., Aug.
30, 1840 and died in Brooklyn, N. Y., June 9, 1884. He married
Feb. 16, 1865, Mary Matilda, born in Spottswood, N. J., June 26,
1840, the daughter of Richard and Rebecca Mount.
Doctor Doane went to Brooklyn, N. Y., with his parents when
eleven years old. They located in the Eastern District of Brooklyn,
called Williamsburg. Leaving school when he was sixteen he soon
found congenial employment in a doctor's office. While there he first
conceived the idea of studying medicine, and prevailed upon his father
to allow him to attend the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New
York. After attending one term, however, he discontinued his stud-
ies and went with his parents to Spottswood, where his father had
purchased a farm.
On the outbreak of the Rebellion in 1861, he was one of the first
to offer his services to the government, and served in North Carolina
during the first years of the war, as second lieutenant, first lieuten
ant and captain, respectively, of the New York Marine Artillery. He
resigned from this department in June, 1863, and accepted the com-
mission of first lieutenant in Battery D, 4th Artillery, of New Jer-
sey ; which position he held until the resignation of Captain Wood-
bury, when he became captain of the Battery, and was mustered in
as such at Chapin's Farm in front of Richmond in Oct., 1864. He
saw active service at the front and made a war record of which any
man might be proud. He was a brave soldier, acquitting himself with
distinguished honor on several occasions. In Foster's History of New
Jersey and the Rebellion, honorable mention is made of Lieutenant
Doane's bravery at Bermuda Hundred in these words :
" Lieut. Doane in command of the four guns left in the action of Sunday,
now opened fire, upon which the entire force of the artillery directed their
shots at one point, Lieut. Morris firing at nearly right angles with the other
batteries. Under cover of this cannonade, the Second Division of the Tenth
Corps charged the rebel ranks and captured thirteen hundred prisoners and
several battle-flags. A Kebel battery was observed trying to get into posi-
tion in the front, but the storm of shot and shell struck clown the men and
horses and completely disabled their guns. Lieut. Doane seeing so many of
his men go down before the fire of the sharp-shooters posted in trees, threw
off his coat and hat, seized a spunge- staff and performed the duties of Num-
ber One, until the firing ceased; awakening the confidence and admiration
of all who witnessed the deed."

DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 451
After the close of the war Doctor Doane returned home and de-
voted the next five years to inventing and manufacturing several
labor-saving machines. In the meantime his leisure moments were
spent in studying medicine, and in a few years he was again able to
enter the College of Physicians and Surgeons, from which he gradu-
ated with honors in 1872, being the valedictorian of his class. He
immediately began practice in the Eastern District of Brooklyn.
In 1881, he was appointed a member of the Board of Education of
Brooklyn, and the following year was elected Vice President of that
body and reelected in 1883. He was an enthusiastic member, served
on several important committees of the board and was chairman of
the school committee in his own district.
Doctor Doane was a member of the Masonic Order. He was twice
elected Master of Marsh Lodge F. and A. M. and for ten successional
years represented that body in the Grand Lodge. He was also a
charter member of the Standard Council of the Legion of Honor.
He was an active member of Harry Lee Post G. A. R. of Brooklyn,
and as a Grand Army man was always exceediugly popular with the
" Boys in Blue." The Doane Post No. 499 of Brooklyn was named
in his honor.
Doctor Doane was a tireless and painstaking worker. Whatever he
undertook was done to the best of his ability. He rose early, retired
late and was never idle. For several years he was editor of the Com-
mercial Reporter, and from its pages many a rare gem, of which he
was the author, may be culled. He was a versatile writer, always
interesting whether writing in a serious or comic vein, prose or poetry.
He was a man of sincere purpose and high aims, conscientious and
faithful in the discharge of every duty. He never tried to conceal a
purpose in flattery, or utter a thought with malevolent intention. He
was always independent and aggressive, outspoken in conversation
and had the courage of his convictions. Doctor Doane was a man
of fine physique, of striking personal appearance and did not, until
almost at the last, betray outwardly the ravages of the insidious
disease that ended his life. He was buried with military and masonic
honors in Cypress Hill Cemetery.

Dec. 16, 1824. He married at Keokuk, la., Oct. 25, 1859, Emily
R. Greenhow. Mr. Doane graduated at Marietta College in 1845,
studied law in his father's office in Circleville, and was admitted to
the Bar in 1848 at Columbus, O. He entered upon the practice of
law at Circleville in partnership with his father, but the new and
more inviting fields of the far West were then opening up by the pas-
sage of the Kansas and Nebraska bill by Congress in 1854, and in
Apr., 1857, he left the home of his birth for Nebraska. In August
following he was elected District Attorney of the Third Judicial Dis-
trict of the Territory and was reelected in 1859. In 1859 and 1860,
he served in the Legislature, having been elected a member of the
Territorial Council. In 1864, he became a resident of Omaha, hav-
ing first located iu Burt Co., and afterwards in Washington Co. In
1865, he was elected prosecuting attorney of Douglas Co. and served
for the statutory term of two years. In 1867, he served in the last
session of the territorial legislature, having been elected a member
456 THE DOANE FAMILY.
of the council from the county of Douglas. In 1880, he was elected
to the state senate and, in the session of the legislature which fol-
lowed, took a leading part in the formulation and adoption of a law
for the regulation of rates by railroads within the state. In 1877, he
was elected one of the judges of the district court of the Fourth Judi-
cial District and, having served one full term, was in 1891 reelected
by a largely increased majority. In 1892, he resigned his seat on the
Bench to make the canvass for Congress, having been nominated as
the Democratic candidate for that position. The district, however,
being largely Republican, he was defeated by a small majority.
After this he resumed the practice of his profession in Omaha, in
which he is still engaged.
Mr. Doane, as a lawyer, is energetic and successful ; persistent,
and indefatigable in attention to his clients' interests ; an able and
intelligent conductor before either court or jury, ranking among the

468 THE DOANE FAMILY.
Mr. Doane is proprietor of a printing business at 54 Montgomery
St., Jersey City, N. J. He learned the printer's trade at Coatesville,
Pa., and spent several years in the West and South before locating
in Jersey City. He is a prominent member of the Independent Or-
der of Odd Fellows, of the Masonic Order and of the Knights of
Pythias. He was Grand Patriarch of the Encampment branch of
the I. O. O. F. in New Jersey in 1891, and has served as its state
representative in the Sovereign Grand Lodge since 1897. He has
always taken great interest in the genealogy of our family, and is
one of the faithful few to whom the compiler is deeply indebted for
valuable information. Many years ago he made personal research
in public records of Chester and Bucks counties bringing to light
much new and valuable data in regard to his family, and on the death
of Dr. Buckman he received by bequest the entire collection of
Buckinan papers on the genealogy and history of the Pennsylvania
Doanes.

where he was engaged in miscellaneous trading with varying
success until his death. He went to Atlanta when it was
but a small village, was a member of its Pioneer Society
and was one of the oldest and most prominent citizens.
He was a man of rare qualifications, and never failed to
make a friend of a person with whom he came in contact ;
a man of marked characteristics and strong individuality
one whose opinions were conscientious convictions to which
he bravely and unswervingly adhered. About 18S0, he en-
tered enthusiastically into the work of collecting the records
and tracing the genealogies of his ancestors in America,
but died before completing his researches. Through
courtesy of his family his valuable collection of materials
representing much study and labor, has been of great value

1816 and died at Stonghton, Mass., Dec. 8, 1898. He married at
Dorchester Lower Mills, Sept. 3, 1836, Susannah, daughter of Wil-
liam Small. She died at Brockton, Mass., Aug. 19, 1889, aged 77
yrs., 11 mos. 13 dys.
When Mr. Doane was nine years old his father was lost at sea,
and four months later his mother died, leaving him to the care of an
uucle. During boyhood he attended district school, but like most
Cape Cod boys became fired with an ambition to go to sea, and when
little more than ten years old his uncle shipped him off, as cook, on
Capt. Freeman's fishing vessel along the eastern coast. He, how-
ever, having little love for that work "skipped" from the vessel while
in port and went to Newburyport where he got aboard a boat bound
for Boston. On arriving at Boston next morning he unexpectedly
met an older brother, a sea captain, bound for his home in Chatham,
who took the little would-be sailor along with him. He was, how-
ever, bound to become a sailor and from time to time got off on sea
voyages with some of the old Cape Cod captains who admired the
boy's grit. At seventeen he was second officer with Captain Kendrick
in the barque Roderick Dim and other vessels. Later he was first
officer with Capt. Theophilus Snow in the King Otho, on a trading
voyage up the Mediterranean. This vessel was named in honor of
the King of Italy and while iu an Italian port, the king accepted the
captain's invitation and was entertained on board. He was also
first officer of the brig Level, which carried the first cargo of ice to
San Salvador. On his marriage he resolved to leave the sea, hav-
ing twice circumnavigated the globe and having spent some time
also in Iceland and Greenland.
Mr. Doane moved to Dorchester, Mass., and learned the carpenter
and builder's trade. He built the first seashore house at Bar Harbor,
472 THE DOANE FAMILY.
where for seven years he was employed by several New York million-
aires in the erection of their beautiful summer residences. He did a
large amount of work for J. Montgomery Sears at Bar Harbor,
Waterville, N. H., and elsewhere. He resided in Holbrook, Mass.,
for fifteen years and erected many buildings in Brockton and sur-
rounding towns and cities.
Mr. Doane enlisted in Co. C, 32d Mass. Regt., in Jan., 1862, the
company going from Dorchester, Mass., to Fort Warren for garrison
duty. When General Banks was driven from Shenandoah Valley, this
company was ordered to the front and one of their first engagements
was at Antietam Bridge. A part of the time Mr. Doane was on de-
tached duty and connected with the general supply train. Being one
of the oldest men, he was ordered to attend the wounded of his com-
pany in most of the engagements in which they participated. While
retreating from Richmond to Harrison's Landing, he suffered much
from carbuncles on his hands which the army surgeon had lanced.
From that time his right arm became so stiff he could barely move
his elbow, which in time became nearly useless. He was a member
of the Holbrook Post, G. A. R., and of the Fletcher Webster Post
of Brockton.

531 HARVEY8 DOANE (Harvey,7 Nehemiah,6 Thomas,*
Thomas,4 Thomas,3 Ephraim,9 John1) was born atBarrington, N. S.,
Dec. 6, 1826 and died there Aug. 23, 1901 (buried in Forest
Hills cemetery). He married Oct. 30, 1854, Sarah Wilson Cunning-
ham, who was born at Barrington, Sept. 11, 1830, the daughter of
William Cunningham. His opportunities in his native town for
school education were very limited, but with an energy characteristic
of the man, he educated himself, in a large measure, for his calling
as a mariner and business man, and won his certificates as master of
both sail and steam ships. He became one of the ablest and best
known sea-captains of the Maritime Provinces. Starting on a sea-
faring life when a mere boy of eleven, he rapidly rose to the position
of master before he was twenty-one years old, and while yet a very
young man was in command of the following named vessels in
foreign trade: ship, Entered Apprentice ; barks, Nugget, Josephine,
Royal Arch and Knight ; brigs, Rose, Pilgrim, Premier, and perhaps
others. Captain Doane was the better and more widely known, how-
ever, as the commander of steamships plying between Boston and
474 THE DOANE FAMILY.
ports of the Maritime Provinces and between ports along the south
coast of Nova Scotia. From about January, 1867 to 1869, he was
in charge of steamers Commerce, Empress, Island City and others of
the New England Steam Ship Company, sailing between Boston,
Halifax and Charlotletown. From 1870 to 1881 he was in command
of steamers M. A. Starr and Edgar Stuart of the Fishwick line, be-
tween Halifax, Yarmouth and intermediate ports, and from 1881 to
1884 he was captain of the New Brunswick, Cleopatra and perhaps
other boats of the International Steam Ship Company. During sev-
eral of the last years of his life he was employed in different capaci-
ties from time to time, by the Yarmouth Steam Ship Company, of
which company he was a director and a large shareholder. He was
marine superintendent of the lines, a position for which his practical
knowledge and long experience peculiarly fitted him, and on the
death of the Hon. L. E. Baker he was offered the presidency of the
company, but declined the position owing to his advancing years.
In 1886, he and Mr. Baker purchased the steamer City of St. John,
for the South Shore route, but on the arrival from Glasgow, Scotland,
of the company's new steel steamer, Yarmouth, the South Shore line
was amalgamated with'^the Boston line and Captain Doane was placed
in charge of the new ship, and when, in 1890, the company decided
to build a larger and faster boat for the Boston route, he was sent to
Glasgow to superintend the building of the Boston. He brought out
the new boat to Yarmouth in Dec, 1890, and then, after a service
covering nearly half a century, retired from the sea, taking the com-
pany's agency at Barrington. In Barrington, the place of his birth
and his home, Captain Doane was always a citizen of public spirit. In
politics he was a Liberal and on several occasions was offered a nom-
ination for a seat in the Provincial Legislature, but never could be
induced to accept a nomination. In 1865, he was appointed captain
of a company in the Nova Scotia militia and held the office until the
company disbanded, and in 1889 he was appointed by the govern-
ment a commissioner of schools, and served in the office until his
death. He joined Zetland Lodge of Free Masons at Liverpool, N. S.,

order, being a prominent member of Philadelphia Lodge at Barring-

shipmaster. He encountered many dangers incident to a mariner's
life and passed through many thrilling experiences, but during all
those years on the seas, he never lost a man, never had a serious ac-
cident and never cost the underwriters one dollar of expense.
" Square built, hearty and strong
With an odor of ocean about him,"
he won his popularity by his kindly, courteous manner, the confi-
dence and esteem of the travelling public by his marked skill and
mature judgment. The pioneer in steamboating along the rugged
south coast of Nova Scotia, thoroughly conversant with every detail
of steam navigation, he never made a blunder and his gallant ships
under his skilful guidance safely carried over the billows, through
fog and storm, the hundreds of lives weekly committed to his care.

533 LEWIS9 SCOTT (Lucy Ann8 Doane, Seth B.,? Edward,6
Noah,5 Solomon,4 Samuel,3 John,2 John1) was born at Glasford, 111.,
Nov. 28, 1856. He married July, 1888, May Hartman. After a
course of studies at the State Normal School, Normal, 111., Mr. Scott
went, in 1877, to Bourbon Co., Kan., where he spent two years
farming in summers and teaching in winters in the town of Mar-
maton. He then entered the Kansas Normal College and completed
the scientific course. Leaving college he accepted for one year the
principalship of the East Fort school after which he was principal of
the Marysville school at Marshall. The next five years he was prin-
cipal of the Axtel schools in the same county, where he established
a school library of five hundred volumes. Up to this time he had
taken no part in politics other than exercising his right of suffrage as
a patriotic American citizen. Upon a canvass of the prominent edu-
cators of the county, Mr. Scott was decided upon as the man best
fitted by education and experience to make a campaign, on the Dem-
ocratic ticket, for county superintendent of schools. Believing that
politics should have no place in the selection of a man for this position,
he made the race on an Independent ticket, and was elected in 1888
by a large majority. He served two years and was reelected,the schools
having greatly improved under his wise and skilful management. At
the close of his second term of service he retired from educational
work and settled on his fine farm near Marysville. Three of their
seven children survive. Six orphan children have found a home
beneath their hospitable roof. While Mr. Scott is not a member of
any church, he has taken the Bible for his guide and conscientiously
endeavors to follow its teachiugs, and in his busy and peaceful life
he and his estimable wife live to do good to their fellowmen.

child of Shadrach L. and Lucy Aim (Doane) Scott, and has the
unique distinction of having named himself before his numerous
relatives could hit upon a name satisfactory to all. Having chosen
the name George Washington, he early learned to admire and imi-
tate the Father of his Country in love of truth and right, home and
country. At six years of age he entered school where he listened
with delight to the recital by the older pupils of the stories of George
Washington and his hatchet, Washington at Valley Forge and par-
ticularly to stories of the Indians. So deep an impression was made
upon his young mind by those lessons of history that, in the summer
of 1874, at the age of eleven years, he set off for the West to "fight
Indians." A telegram intercepted the runaway and he returned
home, where the love of his mother and kind counsel of his father
soon developed in him higher aspirations. At twelve years of age
he earned his first money, one dollar, by cutting corn, and at four-
teen years he earned one dollar and fifty cents per day in the harvest
fields. At seventeen years a desire for a better education induced
his father to give him whatever mouey he earned and after a short
time he was enabled to enter the Kansas Normal School at Fort
Scott and take a course of studies. Leaving school he returned to
Illinois and engaged in agricultural pursuits. In the latter part of
1885, Mr. Scott was married and started West upon a wedding trip.
At Garden City they saw the destruction of thousands of cattle that
had fallen before a blizzard which had swept the plains with terrific
force a few days previous. Here they made a short stop at a
"shack" or half-way house, where the "bill of fare" consisted of
roast antelope, corn bread and black coffee, and here too they beheld
with wonder that weird and startling illusion — a mirage. They con-
tinued as far as Scott City, some fifty miles distant, where they lived
a short time, but later made a settlement in Greeley Co., Kan., their
home being in a dug-out, or sod house, common in that section of
the country. Here the drought in summer and blizzards in winter
blighted their hopes, and here amid the wild, strange scenes of west-
ern life their first child, Ralph, was born. After two years of hard-
ship endured in a life on the prairie, Mr. Scott removed with his wife
and son to the village of Tribune, Kan., and entered for a time with
much success into the real estate and loan business, which at that
time was "booming." Later, closing his business, he returned to
Illinois and settled on a farm in Glasford. Mr. Scott has travelled
much in the West, made the ascent of Pike's Peak, visited Niagara

schools having been awarded the highest honors and first prizes, and

535 MINERVA9 PARKER (Amanda M.8 Doane, Seth B.,7 Ed-

cago, 111., May 14, 1861. She married at Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 22,
1891, Rev. William I. Nichols, a prominent Unitarian clergyman, now
of Brooklyn, N. Y. Mrs. Nichols began her education in the Illinois
Normal Primary School, continued it in the Convent School at Du-
buque, la., and in Chicago. She chose architecture as her Held of
work and her selection of this profession was not the result of acci-
dent, but rather a matter of inheritance from her maternal grand-
father, Seth B. Doane (270), a well known ship designer and archi-
tect. She received her art education at the Philadelphia School of
Design for Women, and after graduation spent some years in an ar-
chitect's office in order to learn the practical details of the profession.
From the outset of her career she made the building of homes a spec-
ialty, and many beautiful houses in Philadelphia and elsewhere tes-
tify to her taste and skill as an architect. Not only has she designed
these houses, but in almost every case has superintended their erec-
tion. Of her work a building contractor once said, •' she is the most
particular and knowing person to work for, I ever struck. She knows
every brick and just where it should go, there's no such thing as cheat-
ing her I tell you, for she knows not only her own business, but mine
too." Beside houses, Mrs. Nichols has built several factories in Phil-
adelphia, the Woman's Club House in Wilmington, Del., and the
Woman's Club House in Philadelphia, which was erected at a cost
of $40,000, and is one of the ornamental features of the city, attract-
ing much attention to the first woman architect in the country. Mis.
Nichols enjoys the distinction of being selected as designer of the
Queen Isabella Pavilion in connection with the World's Fair, at
Chicago. In her husband's parish, her work is steadfast and unre-
mitting, and in the woman's club she is the leading spirit. They have

538 WILLIAM HOWARD9 DOANE (Joseph Howes,8 John,?

Mary Treat, who was born at Preston, Apr. 15, 1832, the daughter
of James Stanton and Frances (Witter) Treat.
After attending the village school and graduating from Woodstock
Academy in 1848, he entered upon his business career in the counting-
room of Doane & Treat, Cotton Manufacturers, at Norwich, Conn.
About three years later he took charge of the books and finances of J.
A. Fay & Co., whose main office was then in Norwich, and his super-
ior business ability was so manifest and so practically recognized by
his employers that, in 1856, he was sent to Chicago to superintend
the western branch of their business. In 1860 he became a partner

in the concern and, on the death of Mr. Fay, in 1861, he became the
manager of its general interests, with offices at Cincinnati, where he
has since resided. The growth and extension of this business concern,
whose shops were located on Front and Johns streets, Cincinnati, in
1852, are recognized as having been extensive factors in the develop-
ment of that city, and through the period of his long residence there
Mr. Doane has been everywhere hailed as one of Cincinnati's most
prominent manufacturers and business men, as well as the builder
and successful manager of the largest concern of its kind in this
country, of which he was the active head until he retired from the
business on its recent consolidation with another enterprise. During
these years Mr. Doane's genius for inventing had manifested itself,
and he had originated many new pieces of machinery and made nu-
merous improvements on machinery already in use, which made him
as valuable to the company in its mechanical department as in its busi-
ness offices. The machinery he has invented and manufactured is
everywhere in use, and the name of W. H. Doane, inventor and man-
ufacturer, is known in every American and European manufacturing
center. His long experience in this business has afforded great oppor-
tunities for study, and it may be said there is no higher authority than
he on the state of the art in this line. He has contributed, perhaps,
more than any other one man to the success of the wood-working
machinery industry, a fact recognized by honors at home and abroad.
A distinction, which is rarely given to a citizen of a foreign nation,
was conferred upon him in 1889, when, at the Paris Exposition, he
met the manufacturers of Europe on their own ground and, in compe-
tition with the leading manufacturers of his class of the world com-
bined, carried off the " Grand Prix," and was himself decorated with
the cross of the Legion of Houor, by the government of France. He
is a director in many enterprises and a fellow of the American Soci-
ety of Mechanical Engineers, the American Society of Mining Engi
neers, American Geographical Society, American Society for the
Advancement of Science, American Archaeological Society, a Cheva-
lier in the Legion of Honor, France, etc.
It truly takes a man of strong mind and great force of character to
lead successfully two lives at the same time. With large business
interests on his mind, it seems remarkable that Mr. Doane should
have attained great eminence in music, but he is well and popularly
known throughout America and Europe as an excellent composer of
music, especially Sunday-school music. He had high and noble as-

pirations, and the work that he has accomplished, in his avocation of
writing Sunday-school music, has been of far greater benefit to man-
kind than he ever could have accomplished by giving himself up
entirely to business. The musical genius that was in him would not
be stilled, although frowned upon by his father, who always objected
to "musical desires" and insisted that a "musical man" was not good
for anything, yet the boy's genius asserted itself at every stage in his
career and made him prominent in musical circles while still young
in years. When very young he would be placed in a chair to sing
songs for visitors, such as "Sweet land of rest for Thee I sigh,"
"Praise ye the Lord," "Before Jehovah's awful Throne" and "Where
now are the Hebrew Children?" At six years of age he attended his
first country singing school. Being too small to sit with the singers,
he took a seat in the corner and listened while they learned the "Fa-
sol-la" of those primitive days. An older brother and sister being
among the favored ones, in due time the singing master came to the
Doane family mansion to stay all night ; with violin in hand he pro-
ceeded to try their voices. After the older ones had concluded their
trial exercises, little Willie stepped up to the master and said "try
me." In the kindness of his heart the teacher did so. After the
effort, he said with surprise, "why, this little fellow has it perfect."
And so this "little fellow" was placed among the alto singers,
though he could but just read. He progressed rapidly, and at
twelve years of age he played the flute in the village choir. A little
later he was the owner of a violin, a present from his Uncle Treat,
afterwards his father-in-law. At thirteen the growing lad was ready
for the big double bass fiddle, which he used in the same village
choir. At fourteen years on going to the academy at Woodstock,
he was appointed leader of the academy choir and during his whole
course of instruction led the singing. At sixteen he rented an old-
fashioned seraphine which he afterwards bought aud played upon in
the church. In the years of 1848-9, he led the choir of the Baptist
church in Voluutown, Conn. About this time he began to study
music under the best teachers of the day. During these years of
patient study he taught many singing schools, having at one time as
many as seven, one for each evening in the week. In 1852-3-4, he
was conductor of the Norwich Harmonic Society and conducted
many musical conventions in various localities. In 1848 he wrote
his first piece of music, entitled "The Grave beneath the Willow"
and dedicated it to his school friend and playmate Miss Fannie M.

Treat. A pretty little romance ended when Miss Treat became Mrs.
W. Howard Doane. Early in his career, Mr. Doane wrote songs and
glees and was by taste and ambition directing his mind to classical
compositions. At this time a remarkable religious experience led
him to consecrate his talent to Sunday-school music. He had been
repeatedly asked to write "hymn-tunes" but like many other musi-
cians had an aversion thereto. At length, in 1862, he was taken sick
with heart disease and by his physician's direction went to Plainfield,
Conn., for his health, remaining several months. When returning
home, apparently improved in health, he had a very severe relapse
and came near dying on the cars. With his wife he left the train at
Lockport, N. Y. While there the conviction of his duty to write
sacred melodies pressed upon him and viewing his physical condition,
and considering his neglected duty, he solemnly vowed to the Lord,
that, if spared, time and talents should be devoted to His service in
this work. From that day he began to mend and was soon entirely
recovered. The vow then made has been sacredly kept. He is
always making music. From the songs of birds and the floating
strains that fall upon the ear, he catches inspiration. Upon the cars
or in the boat, he thinks out melodies. Mountain roads, stage
coaches, carriages,— all become for him a study. A large number of
special songs have been written for notable gatherings and some of
his most popular pieces have been born upon the wing. While cross-
ing the White Mountains (from Glen to Crawford House) on top of
a stage-coach, he composed "The Old, Old Story," and on that same
evening it was sung, for the first time, in the parlors of the Craw-
ford House, by H. Thane Miller and others of the party. "At
the Joppa Gate" was written in 1890, soon after passing through
that celebrated gate at Jerusalem. "Safe in the Arms of Jesus"
was written on the train between Philadelphia and New York, and
first sung that evening in the parlors of the St. Denis Hotel. In
L867, while attending the American Institute Fair in New York
city, "More like Jesus" was written for W. C. Van Meter, then of
the world-renowned Howard Mission, later of Rome, Italy, who
came to see him in order to obtain an original tune for the coming
anniversary (a few days hence) of his mission. Mr. Doane did not
have any hymns and so told him. Just then a boy entered the room
bearing a letter addressed to W. II. Doane. Upon opening it he
found the hymn, k'More like Jesus," and the following note:
Mr. Doane: 1 feel impressed to send you this hymn; may God
bless it ! Fanny Crosby.
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 485
The tune, as it is now sung all over the world, was quickly com-
posed and first used at the Howard Mission Anniversary. On the
first opportunity Mr. Doanc went to see the writer of the hymn. He
found her in an upper story in a tenement house. She was poor and
blind. As he announced his name she said, " I thought you would
come." On learning her condition he handed her a twenty dollar
note and when she heard the amount she exclaimed, "Oh! that is
too much! My rent is just due, and this more than pays it! The
Lord sent it !" This was his first introduction to Fanny Crosby.
She has since written many, many hymns for W. Howard Doane;
among them are "Pass Me Not," " Rescue the Perishing," " Draw
Me Nearer," "Every Day and Every Hour," "Tell it with Joy,"
" A Few More Weary Marchings," " The Prodigal Child " and scores
of others which are endeared to Christian hearts all over this and
other lands, some of which have been translated into more than twenty
different languages. The peculiar charm of his music is its devo-
tional character. He never publishes a tune which does not move
his own heart. His idea of music for church and Sunday-school is
to praise God and approach him in prayer, not merely to display
vocal culture. His first book Sabbath School Gems appeared in 1862,
followed by Little Sunbeams in 1864 and in 1867 came that notable
book Silver Spray, which has had the phenomenal sale of over
300,000 copies. A little later he and Rev. Robert Lowry were asso-
ciated as joint editors of the following works, which were issued in
quick succession: Pure Gold, Royal Diadem, Temple Anthem*, Tidal
Wave, Brightest and Best, Welcome Tidings, died Hosannas, Foun-
tain of Sony, Glad Refrain, Joyful Lays, Bright Army, etc. Mr.
Doane edited Songs of Devotion and The Baptist Hymnal, which
have been generally adopted by the churches of the Baptist denomi-
nation. His later books are : Sunny Side Songs, Songs of the King-
dom, Notes of Gladness, etc. Since 1868, his name has been asso-
ciated as author with many musical works and a considerable amount
of song and ballad music. He fairly popularized the Christmas
Cantata, by the issue of one called Santa Claus; and his other con-
tributions of this class, St. Nicholas' Visit, Night of Glory, Tmmanuel,
Frost Queen and Santa Claus, Santa Claus and the Fairies, The Wise
Men of the East and many others have found great favor. The cir-
culation of books bearing his name has been world-wide and the
copies sold are counted by millions. In 1875, Dennison University
bestowed upon Mr. Doane the degree of Doctor of Music. II is

study or music-room is an unique feature of his beautiful home
" Sunny Side" on Mt. Auburn, in Cincinnati, which home is as com-
plete in all respects as taste, culture, research and money can make
it. In the transom over the entrance to the study is wrought in
ground glass in musical characters, the opening strains of Home,
Sweet Home. On the ceiling inside are frescoed bits of celebrated
musical composition, beautifully and artistically arranged. Fine
paintings, mostly of musical subjects, adorn the walls and here is en-
shrined his wonderful collection of antique musical instruments, rep-
resenting nearly every country on the globe, among which are seen
instruments from Herculaneum, Grecian lyres, Shepherd pipes from
near Jerusalem, Abyssinian drums, Tom-toms, Rams' Horns and
about everything that has added to music since its birth in the crea-
tion, besides pianos, harps and other modern instruments. Here is
also a grand pipe organ run by water motor and over it, in fresco are
four measures from the Hallelujah chorus. The library is one of the
finest of its kind in America containing vellum MSS. dating from
the eighth century, facsimiles of the original score of Handel's Mes-
siah and original MSS. and autographs of nearly all the old masters
and modern composers. It is here in his home, amidst such sur-
roundings, when relieved from business cares in the evening that
most of his music has been written ; yet he is never without a little
note book in which to jot down, wherever he may be, the impressions
that come to him.
At the close of the Paris Exposition, Mr. Doane and his family
spent two years in a tour of Europe, Africa and Asia Minor, visiting
first Spain, thence to the historic places of Italy. Leaving Italy,
the land of the Pharaohs was visited and the mysterious Nile was
ascended as far as the first cataract. From Egypt they passed
through the Suez Canal to Palestine, across the Lebanon Mountains,
to Damascus, thence to Beyrout in Syria and from there to Smyrna,
Athens and Constantinople. The Bosphorus and Black Sea were
sailed through, Russia, Finland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden,
Holland, Austria and the British Isles were visited ere the wanderers
returned home, laden with new instruments of music to add to the
immense collection at Sunny Side.
While at school at Woodstock, Mr. Doane went regularly every
Sunday two miles to the Baptist church, the church of his mother's
faith. In the spring of 1847, a revival was held by pastor Elder J.
Payne, and the little walk of four miles after the day's recitations to

and from the place of meeting was cheerfully done by this young
man. At one of these meetings he was converted and immediately
commenced an active part in religious work. Two fellow students,
a Baptist and a Presbyterian, with himself formed an active co-
partnership and held meetings in the Academy during which time
some fifty or sixty were led to Christ. Four years later he was bap-
tized and received by the Rev. Frederick Dennison into the fellow-
ship of the Central Baptist church at Norwich. He is now an active
member of the Mt. Auburn Baptist Church in Cincinnati. The
secret of his success is, every minute well employed. Busy every
day he is busier every Sunday. Bethesda Mission, which he superin-
tends and largely supports, claims the early morning hours, then
church at 11a. m. and at 3 p. m. to the Church Sunday-school, of
which he has been superintendent for more than thirty years. He is
very fond of children with whom he is a great favorite, and it is
worth an effort of a long journey to hear him lead them in singing.
He is known as a most liberal man and his benefactions have been
neither few nor stinted. Prominent among them is Doane Library
Hall, given to Dennison University in 1878. With the late John
Church, he donated the large pipe organ in the Y. M. C. A. Hall in
Cincinnati, it being called Silver Spray Organ, as it was purchased
with some of the revenue from that singing book. Tn 1894 he gave
the $40,000 Academy Hall to Dennison University, which has been
named Doane Academy in his honor. None but his intimate friends
know of the hundreds of gifts given each year to the poor, and all
of the income from his music and much from his business are devoted
to christian work. He is an active worker and generous supporter
of the Y. M. C. A, and gives his support to every measure for the
general good. He owns a cottage upon spacious grounds at Watch
Hill, R. I., where he spends the summer months each year, and en-
tertains distinguished guests.

respected and beloved for his sterling character and many amiable
qualities. He was endowed by nature with great personal beauty
and winning manners, and found a congenial spirit in his wife, whose
cultured mind and lovable disposition made her an ornament to the
society of the Eastern Shore. " Olney," their hospitable home near
Princess Ann, was the scene of many social gatherings, frequented
by men prominent in the politics, art and literature of the day. He
served a term in the State Legislature, and died at Annapolis, aged
about thirty-four years.

4 JOHN HAYNIE4 DONE (William,3 John,2 Dr. John1) was
born in 1817 and died near Chicago, 111., July 25, 1855 (buried in
cemetery of Presbyterian church, Princess Ann) . He married, in 1842,
Rachel A. Kerr, the daughter of John Leeds and Sarah Holliday
(Chamberlain) Kerr of Easton, Md. Mr. Done graduated at Jeffer-
son College, Cannonsburg, Pa., and became a civil engineer. He was
employed in locating the line of the Baltimore and Ohio R. R , then
being constructed between Baltimore and Wheeling. That work be-
ing temporarily suspended, he returned to his home in Princess Ann
and, studying law, was admitted to the Bar. He first settled in Snow
Hill, Worcester Co., Md., but later moved to Princess Ann, where
he soon took a leading position in his profession. He served two
terms in the Legislature and was active in furthering the two great
works of Internal Improvement, the Baltimore and Ohio R. R., and
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, then under construction, and the
completion of which meant so much in the development of the re-
sources of the state. In 1853 he was tendered the position of Master
of Transportation of the B. and O. R. R., an office then synonymous
with that of General Superintendent. Accepting this position, he
moved his family to Baltimore and entered upon the duties of the
office. Such was his energy and peculiar talent for the work, that
without previous experience he soon reorganized the entire Road, in-
fused his spirit into every department and, in two years, more than
doubled its earnings. At this period the Illinois Central R. R. was
just completing its line through the State of Illinois and emigration
was pouring in from Europe and the Eastern States. Recognizing
Mr. Done's great abilities for the work, the Directors of that company
urged him to take charge of their property as General Superintendent
with a salary of $10,000, which was then considered very large. Re-
moving his family to Chicago in the winter of 1854-5, he there began
a career as Railway Manager that easily placed him at the head of
that brilliant coterie of men whose energy, courage and fertility of

resources conquered the wilderness and founded an empire upon the
treeless plains. In the midst of a toil of a well spent life and while
planning still greater developments he met with an accident on his
own road near Chicago and was carried to his home where he lived
only a few hours. Thus death cut short a life devoted to good works
and stilled a heart " full of all blessed conditions." He was deeply
religious from his early youth ; an elder in the Presbyterian church
and prominent in every movement for the relief of suffering and
distress.
Children :
i John Haynie,5 b. 1843 ; d. Mar., 1SG3. at Princeton, X. J., while

in Xew York city. Having contracted pneumonia, he was
advised to seek a milder climate and accordingly sailed for
China in 1866, as a surgeon in the employ of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Co. He subsequently settled in Yokohama.
Dr. Done was a skilful physician, a man of brilliant and
well-stored mind, impatient of shams and keenly appreci-
ating the true and good. Of most pleasing address and
courtly manner, he possessed to a marked degree, the faculty
of winning and retaining the respect and affection of all

JOHN DOANE was born at Stone, Staffordshire, Eng., in 1811,
and died at his residence Greenwood Cottage, Hamilton, Ber-
ArPENDix. 497
muda. He married at the residence of Thomas Pitt, in Hamilton,
Sarah Hariot Sutcliffe Atwood, who was born at Hamilton in 1820
and died there at Greenwood Cottage, Jan. 5, 1889. Both were bur-
ied in his tomb, in the yard of St. John's church, Pembroke, Ber-
muda. She was highly educated and a well informed woman. Her
father, Benjamin Atwood, was an educated man and " the personifi-
cation of a down east Yankee." Her grandfather, Commodore God-
dard Atwood, owned Atwood Island, one of the Bahamas and
operated his fleet of vessels during the Revolutionary war against
the British, American and French commerce. He died somewhere on
the Island of New Providence. After his death his widow, Love
Watkins, returned to Bermuda to live with her son Benjamin.
When a young man Mr. Doane came from England to Bermuda,
where he met and married his wife. He told his children that be
could trace his line of ancestors to the time of the Danes in England.
He always wrote his name Doane, but stated that his ancestors spelled
it without an " a."

Kingstone, May 30, 1777. The examination of Thomas Done:
Says he was born at Sheffield, in Yorkshire in that part of Great Britain
called England ; that he was a pressed man on board the Chatham, a 50 gun
ship belonging to the British navy, and ran away from her at the Island of
Antigua; from whence by different conveyances he arrived in the Massachu-
setts Bay State, soon after the death of General Montgomerie, where he en-
listed two or three clays after his arrival in the Massachusetts Bay troops
for three months' service and proceeded with them to Quebec, and continued
in that service until those troops were discharged ; and thereupon he enlisted
in the Continental company of artillery commanded by Capt. Lamb, in
which service he lost his sight as mentioned in his petition." Kesolved, that
this State will for the present make some provision for the said Thomas
Done, a Continental maimed soldier, agreeably to Continental regulations
for that purpose. And Ordered, that he be committed to the care of the
Secretaries until further order; that they or one of them disburse some
money for his aid and support, and charge this State with the same.

Rev. Samuel Osborn and some of his Descendants.
1 SAMUEL1 OSBORN was born probably about 1685. Accounts
of his birthplace and place of education are conflicting. The Rev.
APPENDIX. |;i;i
James Freeman, who made a little investigation as to his life, says,
"he was born in Ireland and educated in the University of Dublin."
Israel Doane, Sen., who died at Argyle, N. S., in 1844 aged 84 years,
says in his printed pamphlet, probably on authority of his mother's
statements, that his grandfather Samuel Osborn "was born of Irish
parents in Scotland and was educated at Glasgow, and at the age of
twenty-two years came over to America, landing in Boston in New
England." From a pamphlet, printed in 1723, entitled A Church of
Christ Vindicated: A Short ami Plain Relation of Some Transaction
in the South Church at Eastham, we learn that Mr. Osborn "came over
to America in the latter end of October, 1707, bringing Letters of
Commendation from Ireland subscribed by the Rev. Robert Rainey,
Pastor of a Church in the Lordship of Newiy, in the County of
Down." The earliest public record of Mr. Osborn, that we have
found, is recorded at Edgartown, Mass., and is that of his marriage
on Jan. 1, 1710, by the Rev. Jonathan Dunham, to Jedidah Smith,
daughter of Benjamin and Jedidah (Mayhew) Smith, granddaughter
of Thomas and Jane (Paine) Mayhew and great-granddaughter of
Thomas Mayhew, grantee and governor of Marthas Vineyard and
adjacent islands.
On May 9, 1712, the Sandwich people agreed to give Samuel
Osborn, the "schoolmaster at Edgartown," £60 per year fen- three
years if he would serve them that time and give instruction in Greek.
There is no record that he accepted the offer, but he probably taught
for a time in Sandwich as the following year he and his wife Jedidah
united with the Congregational church in that town. The record of
their admission to the church styles him "Rev. Mr. Osborn." In
1713 he was engaged to teach in Harwich and while there he and his
wife witnessed the will of Kenelm Winslow which bears date Jan.
17, 1712-13. In the Harwich records his name appears as "Asbou."
He perhaps was a schoolmaster at Sandwich after this date, as the
Rev. Benjamin Holm, an eminent minister of the Friends who visited
Sandwich in 1715, recounts in his journal "a dispute with one Sam-
uel Osborn, a school master." Mr. Osborn appears next in Ply-
mouth where he was teaching in November, 1717, when he received
a call to the church at Eastham to succeed the "learned, pious and
faithful pastor," Rev. Samuel Treat. Soon after the death of Mr.
Treat efforts were made by the Eastham church to secure the settle-
ment of a minister. They sent and invited first the Rev. Mr. Hub-
bard but failing of him they invited Mr. Osborn "who was in the
500 THE DOANE FAMILY.
school at Plymouth and frequently had preached for the Reverend
Mr. Little" and "occasionly in many other places." Mr. Osborn
gave up his school in order to supply the Eastham pulpit as a candi-
date, and entered upon his work there about the beginning of Novem-
ber, 1717. About the first of April, 1718, the church sent to the
ministers of the couuty, then met at Barnstable, for their advice
respecting his settlement and their advice was as follows :
We, the Subscribers say, That tho' we have a due Value for and cordial
Respect to the said Mr. Osborn, and wish him well, and know not but that
he might be Serviceable; yet on sundry Considerations, we cannot think it
advisable to encourage as to his Settlement ; especially at present, and par-
ticularly, having had Advice of some Scandal that said Osborn lies under,
which we cannot understand was ever yet cleared up, which until it be to our
Satisfaction, were there nothing else, we cannot but look upon it a sufficient
Bar in our way against giving our Consent or Advice for his said settlement.

Note. This was a scandalous report then brought to the minis-
ters, which the Rev. Mr. Cotton never heard of before. However, he
said he would enquire into the truth of it and as he found so would
he signify it to each of his brethren and to the Eastham church. Ac-
cordingly some time after he wrote the following letter to their church
agent :
Mr. Paine:
I have your Letter by Mr. Doane and have endeavored to communicate
it to the Ministers between Us and You ; and have desired them to give an-
swer, if they see cause. For my own part I do not give Credit to the late
Reflection, which (I suppose) was very untruly and unduly cast on Mr. Os-
born. But yet I count it my Duty that it is, and hath been upon good Grounds,
the Practice of the Candidates for the Ministry, to offer themselves to the
Examen of the Presbetery in their several Associations, in order to the Dis-
covery and Approbation of their Ministerial capacity and Qualifications, that
so they maybe recommended to that great work of our Glorious Lord. Now
I do not know that any Minister of this Association, has ever tasted of Mr.
Osborn's Capacity and Gifts for that sacred service : So that it is not to be
wondered at, or thought hard of, that they are not so hasty in their Appro-
bation of him, as yourselves were. I hope I do sincerely desire the Glory of
God, the Peace and Edification of your Church and People and Mr. Osborn's
and his Family's best good ; and wish you may all be directed to take those

Sandwich, Rowland Coi roN.
May 8th, 1718.
Sometime after this Mr. Cotton sent for Mr. < >sborn to go to Sand-
wich to preach before the ministers, which accordingly lie did ; and
before he returned, one of the ministers before whom he had preached,
gave him ten theological questions to answer extempore, as follows :
(1) How came we to be involved in Adam's guilt, seeing we never chose
him for our Head ?
(2) How is God Unchangable seeing that it was in Time thai He b<
a Creator, Preserver, &c?
(3) Why was Man's Punishment, that lie was sentenced to, Eternal?
(4) How can God accept Satisfaction by a Surety, seeing the Threaten-
ing is positive?
(5) Why was it needful that Jesus Christ the Mediator should be both
God and Man?
(6) What is the matter of a Sinner's Justification?
(7) On wdiat Account was Christ's active obedience necessary?
(8) What influence has Faith to our Justification?
(0) If we are justified by Christ's Righteousness, what need of our Obe-
dience to the Law?
(10) If Christ has suffered the Penalty of the Law, why does Cod threaten
his People for their sins !
After about seven months' trial and experience of Mr. Osbom's
gifts and qualifications for the work of the ministry and having pe-
rused his " Letters of Commendation " from such as are " Sober and
Religious " in Ireland, and having received a full account of his con-
duct and conversation since his arrival into the country in 1707. the
Eastham church proceeded to give him " a full Call to the Office,"
and ou May 19, 1718, unanimously chose him for their pastor, the
town as unanimously concurring with them in that choice.
Mr. Osborn having accepted this call, the church appointed Sept.
17, 1718, for the day of his ordination, and in due time sent out letters
to all the churches of the county and to the church a I Plymouth. The
pastors of Yarmouth and Truro being abroad at the time, the churches
of Plymouth, Sandwich, Falmouth and Barnstable convened. The
"memorable Mr. Cotton" gave the Charge, the Rev. Mr. Little gave
the Right Hand of Fellowship and the Rev. Mr. Metcalf assisted in
Laying on of Hands.
On ordination day morning Justice John Doane of Billingsgate
502 THE DOANE FAMILY.
(Wellfleet) came before the churches convened and delivered in the
following paper, signed by three male and fourteen female members
of the church, residing in Billingsgate under the ministry of Rev. Jo-
siah Oakes :
We whose Names are hereunto subscribed, Members of the Church at
Eastham, having not concur'd with any of the Acts either of Church or Town
relating to Mr. Osborn's Settlement in the Ministry there; nor indeed have
had any Notification about any of their Meetings about their Aftairs : Also
looking on him not qualified for the Work of the Ministry according to what
hath been signified to onr Church by the Reverend Elders at an Association
Meeting of theirs at Barnstable, April 9, 1718, do therefore publickly declare
our dissent from his Settlement among us, and disclaim any Relation to him
as our Pastor.

This paper was somewhat surprising to the church and to the or-
dination council. A long controversy ensued. It continued till well
into 1723 and into which were drawn the Rev. Josiah Oakes of Bil-
lingsgate, Rev. John Avery of Truro, Rev. Nathaniel Stone of Har-
wich and Rev. Joseph Lord of Chatham. Several church meetings
were called and three or four ecclesiastical councils were convened,
one at the house of John Doane, Esq., at Billingsgate, Nov. 8, 1720,
one at Eastham, Oct. 24, 1722 and another at the same place on May
8, 1723. Mrs. Hannah (Hobart) Doane, wife of John Doane, Esq^
and one of the leaders in the Billingsgate faction against Mr. Osborn,
was "admonished" by the church for "irregular withdrawing com-
munion " and finally was excommunicated from the church, because
of her "ungodly carriage," "railings," etc.
Despite the efforts of his opponents Mr. Osborn continued in the
pastorate at Eastham for more than twenty years. He began his
labors there in the old meeting-house which stood near the old Town
Cove burial-ground, but in 1719, on the division of the church and
the completion of the new meeting-house, he removed and became
the pastor of the branch at S. Eastham, it then representing the
parent church. Here he continued many years, actively engaged in
his work and in the esteem and confidence of the brethren, until
APPENDIX. 503
trouble arose between him and his parishioners respecting doctrinal
points, a trouble which finally ended in his formal dismissal by the
church after a full trial, Nov. 20, 1738. His accusers brought noth-
ing to prove any immoral conduct, but they thought as did the
11 venerable council," convened June 28, 1738, that his " unguarded
expressions " concerning " God and his moral perfections as also con-
cerning election, redemption and other like tenets of tin; holy faith,"
were enough to disqualify him from holding the pastoral office. The
leaders in this trial for heresy were men of prominence in Eastham.
Two of them, Dea. Joseph Doane and Nathaniel Freeman, Esq., were
men of intelligence and large influence, and it is safe to say that
after having listened to so radical an exponent of all the sharp
points of Calvinism as the Rev. Samuel Treat, they did not fail to
discover the gradual changing of the views of their finely educated
minister and his decided leaning towards Pelagianism. The dismissal
from the church brought Mr. Osborn and his family under somewhat
trying circumstances, as appears by the following from his own
writing :
And so by means of that Autinomian Council, I in an advanced Age, and
my poor Family, were turned adrift to shift how we best could ; nor could
I help myself or Family, by disposing of my House and little Land I was
posess'd of, amongst them; it appear'd to me, that by Menus of their
Council, their Prejudices were so strong, that they counted they did God
good Service, in doing me all the Mischief that lay in their Power: They
used their utmost Endeavors to prevent my having a hearing; and in the
mean Time hastened the Settlement of a young Man, who, in my Opinion.
ought rather to have been sent to School, than suffered to go into the Pulpit
to teach others.
I had something of an Estate amongst that People, with whom I preached
above twenty years, but I look upon it as lost; for tho' their Council advis'd
them to give me an equivilant for what I was possessed of amongst them,
but that Antinomian Council having stuffed their Result, with so many inju-
rious Insinuations, it appear'd to me, that the poor deceived People were so
prejudiced they would buy nothing of me, looking upon me to be as hateful
and dispicable a Man as their Council had describ'd me in their Result.
After his dismission from the church Mr. Osborn continued for a
time to preach to his adherents in his own house at Eastham, though
subject to much persecution. I quote from his The Case and Com-
plaint :
I being excluded the Pulpit, preached in my own House, to the Party who
still adhered to me and refused to swallow the Antinomian Errors. After
some time four of us were complained of to the Grand Jury. The Court at
Barnstable accepted the Presentment and we were summoned to appear;
504 THE DOANE FAMILY.
which we did. I pleaded in open Court, that I could not in Conscience join
with the People who had in my Opinion forsaken the Truth, and had em-
braced the Errors of that Antinomian Council : I pleaded that under the
Gospel, all Places were alike Holy, and the Worship accepted, whether per-
formed in the House, in the Fields, or by the River Side. I pleaded, that I
could not be convinced that it was contrary to Law for me to preach in my
own House to my owu People over whom the Holy Ghost had made me an
Overseer. But the Court was very stern and rough, and urged our pleading
Guilty or not Guilty. I then told the Court (my Heart being almost broke
with malicious Treatment from Antinomians who could not sin) that if it
was a Breach of Law, my preaching in my own House to my own People,
then I was Guilty. A Majority of the Justices determined that we should
pay our fines ; James Otis, Esq. expressing himself thus, viz. That the Law
knew of no such Assemblies as mine was. Having paid our Fines and other
Charges we returned home : And tho' I continued to preach in my House
to my own People as before, yet the Court never sent for me again upon
any such Account.
In 1743, Mr. Osborn was in Boston and about that time went into
York county (Maine) with a view to settlement in the pastorate at
Brunswick. On arrival there, however, to his "great Surprise" a
letter was put into his hands subscribed by Benjamin Colman, Thomas
Prence, William Cooper and Joshua Gee, ministers at Boston, wherein
they tell the church at Brunswick "That they understood that the
faces of some of them were set upon" Mr. Osborn, " and that they
would not have them fix upon a Man who refused to subscribe to the
Confession of Faith, denied original Sin, the Doctrine of Grace, the
Doctrine of the Trinity and Justification by Faith alone."
It is understood that Mr. Osborn returned to his former vocation
of school-teaching and that he spent his last days in Boston. It is
probable that for a few years after 1761 he was a resident of Bar-
rington, N. S., to which place his daughter Elizabeth Doane and
other relatives had removed. In the list of the original proprietors
of that township, the name Samuel Osborn appears as grantee of
Lot 69, as also in the census of 1770, but whether this Samuel
Osborn was the ejected minister of Eastham cannot now be posi-
tively determined. We have no record of Mr. Osborn's death nor
of the death of his first wife, Jedidah. His grandson Israel Doane,
Sen., states that he died in Boston about the year 1774. His second
wife to whom he was published in Boston, Oct. 19, 1743, and with
whom he was living at Nantucket in 1746, was Mrs. Experience
Hopkins, widow of Elisha Hopkins a merchant of Chatham.
Mr. Osborn is described as a man of "wisdom and virtue," con-
tributing much to the temporal as well as to the spiritual wants of his

people, "by introducing new improvements in agriculture and by set-
ting them the example of economy and industry." From him, it is
claimed, his parishioners learned to prepare Cape Cod peat for fuel.
His little book, The Case and Complain* of Mr. Samuel Osborn,
Late of Eastham, a pamphlet of 29 pages, was printed in Boston in
1748. A copy has been preserved in the Boston Public Library.

gives two sons, John and Samuel, and adds: "They both

Samuel I believe was a school teacher."
2 JOHN2 OSBORN (Rev. Samuel1) was born about 1713 (bap-
tized at Sandwich, Mass., 1714) and died at Middletown, Conn.,
May 31, 1753, aged about 40 years. He married Ann, daughter of
Thomas and Patience (Mulford) Donne of Chatham, Mass. (see page
59), who was born about 1715 and died Apr. 16, 1791, aged 76
years (gravestone, Town Hill Burying Yard, E. Haddam, Conn.).
She married second, May 27, 1756, Thomas Smith who was born at
E. Haddam, Mar. 20, 1710 and died Dec. 23, 1797 (gravestone,
Town Hill Burying Yard) , the son of Matthew and Sarah (Mack)
Smith. By this marriage there was one son, Samuel Smith, who was
born Dec. 1, 1757.
John Osborn studied for the ministry at his father's desire, but
his trial sermon delivered in the presence of the ministers of Barn-
stable county was adjudged unorthodox, though wrell prepared. He
then began the study of medicine, as his tastes were in that direction.
He graduated at Harvard College, it is understood, in 1735 and about
1739 settled in Middletown, where he shared the practice of medicine
with Dr. John Arnold. Thatcher's Medical Biography pronounces
him " a very respectable physician." He was also a man of line
scholastic attainments. While in college he was distinguished for
mathematical investigation and for his Latin verse, and after his
graduation he was offered a tutorship in Harvard college, but de-
clined the honor. It is said that he ranked higher as a scholar than
most of the literary men of his day. Two or three of his poetical
effusions gained for him some celebrity as a poet. Before his grad-
APPENDIX. ,r)07
uation he wrote an elegaic epistle on the death of his sister, which,
says Freeman's History of Cape Cod, "has been preserved in the
Boston Mirror." While in his father's house at Eastham and in the
midst of companions accustomed to a seafaring life, he wrote his
Whaling Song which can be found in Barber's Historical Collections
of Connecticut and in Ricketson's Hi story of New Bedford, Massa-
chusetts. Besides these compositions, Doctor Osborn wrote a few re-
ligious stanzas while on his death bed, expressing his resignation to
death and anticipations of Heaven. His elegy was written on the
death of his sister Mary, and was addressed to an older sister living
at Plymouth. It was written in the spring, and he began by de-
scribing the great beauty of the season, and then addresses his be-
reaved sister as follows :
But Sister, all the sweets that grace
The Spring, and blooming nature's nice.
The chirping birds,
Nor lowing herds,
The woody hills,
Nor murmuring rills.
The Sylvan shades,
Nor flowering meads,
To me their former joys dispense,
Tho' all their pleasures court my sense
Rut melancholy damps my mind ;
1 lonely walk the field
With inward sorrow filled,
And sigh to every breathing wind.
I mourn our tender Sister's death
In various plaintive sounds,
While hills above, and vales beneath
Their faltering note rebounds.
Perhaps when in the pains of death,
She gasp'd her latest breath,
You saw our pensive friends around.
With tears bedew the ground ;
Our loving father stand,
And press her trembling hand.
And gently cry, my child adieu
We all must follow you.
In 1753, Dr. Osborn was stricken with fever, and soon after wrote
to his sister, Sarah Morton, at Plymouth, the following account of
himself and family : "We are all in usual plight, except myself. I
am confined chiefly to the house ; am weak, lame and uneasy and
never expect to be hearty and strong again. I have lingered almost

two years a life not worth having and how much longer it will last I
cannot tell. We have six children, the eldest fourteen years old the
last November, the youngest two years last January ; the eldest a
daughter, the next a son, and so on to the end of the chapter."
The life which he thought " not worth having " lasted only a short
time after lie wrote the letter, lie was buried in what is now the
River Side burial-ground, where a monument marks his grave.

3 ELIZABETH2 OSBORN (Rev. Samuel1 )was born probably at
Sandwich, Mass., where she was baptized in 1715 and died at Bar-
rington, N. S., May 24, 1798. She married first, at Eastham, Mass.,
by Rev. Benjamin Webb, Jan. 23, 1733-4, Capt. William Myrick,
who was born at Harwich, that part now Brewster, and was lost at
sea in 1742, the son of Nathaniel3 and Alice (Freeman) Myrick,
grandson of Wm.2 and Abigail (Hopkins) Myrick and great-grand-
son of Wm.1 Myrick, or Merrick. She married second (as second
wife), Jan. 14, 1744-5, Wm.3 Paine, who was born at Eastham, Juno
6, 1695 and died at Louisbourg, Cape Breton, in Aug. or Sept., 1746,
the son of Dea. John9 and Bennett (Freeman) Paine, and grandson
of Thomas1 Paine.
She married third, at Eastham, by Joseph Doane, Esq., Nov. 10,
1749, Edmund Doane of Eastham and Barrington, N. S. (see page 75).
Capt. Wm. Myrick had his home in Boston at the time of his death.
The estate of " Wm. Myrick, mariner, lately deceased," was admin-
istered upon by his widow, Elizabeth, Dec. 28, 1742 ; the Inventory,
in which he is styled " Capt.," was taken Mar. 3, 1742-3. Account
was rendered Sept. 27, 1744. She was allowed for the " necessary
impliments of household for the maintainance of the Accountant and
3 children, the youngest born 3 months after the death of the Dec'd ;"
for "power of Attorney, &c, sent to No. Carolina;" for money
"paid Josiah Griggs, a note under the dec'd. hand;" for " House
rent due at my husband's death."
Her second husband, Wm. Paine, was a business man and a prom-

Sarah Isaacs, who died in Boston, Mass., Thursday, June 18, 1807

Dear Sir:
By Capt. Barrows, bound to Nova Scotia, who promised to forward a letter, I gladly
embrace the opportunity t<> write to you, wishing these may Bnd you and your family in
perfect health. Capt. Barrows has informed me of a breach in your family which very
much concerns me to hear of . I had the pleasing idea thai your son would make a man
of extraordinary talents; having as 1 thought the must lively genius that ever I kn.-u .
Alas! How are our expectations cut off. I find by experience thai we ought no< to place
our minds on any earthly object. Since i saw you I myself have had many severe trials,
more than I can now recount. Suffice it to saj that in March, 1799, being on a pa
from Boston to Gibraltar, by an accident on board, ten days before our arrival to that
place, I had the misfortune to lose my left hand by loading a cannon. On our arrival I
was carried immediately to the hospital, where I had to undergo a most severe and pain
i'ul operation of having my arm cut off. No pen can describe my then situation.— being
left in a very low and dangerous situation, without one friend or countryman, and with-
out money. But it pleased God to restore me to a measure of health after a confinement
of three months. After that I got a passage home to my friends. My mother and the rest
of our family are all well. My uncle Payne and his family are all well. I expect he will
write if he knows this opportunity. Since my return home I have been employed by Mr.
Eben Parsons— and I should be x^ry glad to have a letter— I can forward letters to my
uncle if you please to send them to me. So, being in haste, I beg leave to subscribe my-
self,
Yours, etc.,
To Wm. M\ rick.

512 THE DOANE FAMILY.
father died in the Colonial service at Louisbourg, Cape Breton. After
the marriage of his mother to Edmund Doane ( see page 75 ) he was
placed in the family of Rev. Joseph Crocker, pastor of the Second
Congregational church in Eastham, where he continued during his
minority. Mr. Crocker was a most excellent man, and his amiable
ward derived great advantages from being a member of the family.
Mr. Crocker was a well educated clergyman, having graduated from
Harvard College, and Mr. Paine found him a great helper in matters
of education. Mr. Paine always spoke of him highly. Not many
years after leaving his 'venerable and beloved master' at Eastham,
he went to Boston and at length, deciding to become a physician,
he began the study of medicine under Dr. Joseph Warren, the dis-
tinguished patriot who afterwards fell on Bunker Hill in the memor-
able battle June 17, 1775. But the trouble with the mother country
coming on, his resources were disturbed and studies interrupted.
School teaching suggesting itself as a means of support, he opened
an ' English Grammar School' in Boston, in 1774, ' which had lately
been kept by Mr. Ward,' and assured those who should 'favor him
with the important task of educating their children,' he would exert
his 'utmost endeavors by a constant and careful attention to their
interests to merit their approbation and deserve their encourage-
ment.' Beside 'English Grammar, Reading, Writing and Arithme-
tic,' he proposed to teach the 'Rudiments of Latin.' The occupation
of the town by the British troops in 1775, was detrimental to his
school and it was discontinued. Accepting the position of tutor in
the Perkins family, of which James and Thomas H., eminent mer-
chants, were members, he went with the family to Barnstable and,
after the evacuation of the besieged town, he returned and again
opened his school. The duties of a teacher in those days were ardu-
ous, and he seems to have found very little spare time to devote to
private affairs. He was obliged, he says in a letter to his kind
uncle Thomas Paine of Eastham, dated at Boston, Oct. 31, 1776, to
be in his school 'from the first entrance of light till nine in the even-
ing, and the leisure half-days' — Thursday and Saturday — of each
week to 'wait on such as do not attend the school,' meaning un-
doubtedly those he was privately instructing. For a while after
this date but little is known of him. For a short period, it is under-
stood, he was in some business of a mercantile character at New
London, Conn., and that while there, he became acquainted with
Miss Isaacs, who soon became his wife.
" In 1783, he became a resident of Easthampton, L. I., and engaged
APPENDIX . 5 1 g
in his vocation as teacher. In 1784, he took charge of the Clinton
Academy just then erected mainly through the efforts of Dr. Buell
and himself. His connection with this institution was not severed
until after 1790. In 1791, the year his famous son, John Howard,
was born, he was a teacher of French, English Grammar, Writing,
Arithmetic, etc., at No. 4 Great Dock street, New York city. In
1793, he was residing at No. 5 Dye street aud teaching on Little
Queen street. His school in 1794 and 1795 was at 23 Cedar street,
and in 1796 at 29 Ann street. In 1797 and 1798 it was on Ferry
street. In 1799, he was invited by some leading and influen-
tial men in Boston to open a school in that place, and thither he re-
moved that year and opened the Academy on Berry, afterwards
Channing street. It was well attended and soon became a noted
school. Among the pupils, who in after life became prominent, was
the late John Gorham Palfrey, the historian. John Howard Paine,
the teacher's son, was also a pupil in the school, giving attention to
elocution, a branch his father was very successful in teaching. Mr.
Paine closed his school on Berry street about 1809 and returned to
New York, where he again engaged in teaching. In 1811, he was
teaching on Common street near Grand street in that city. On the
afternoon of Monday, Mar. 3, 1812, while engaged in his schoolroom,
he fell to the floor from a paralytic shock, was carried to his home
where he remained unconscious until Friday, Mar. 7th, when he
passed away in the 67th year of his age. He was interred in the
city, but now all trace of the precise spot is lost.
"In person Mr. Paine was of medium height. He never was a
strong man. Early in life his health was impaired, and for benefi-
cial results he made a voyage to the West Indies. Later in life his
health was quite delicate, and at one period he thought that he was
consumptively inclined, but by an abstinence of seven years from all
animal food, he recovered and was able to give the last years of his
life to teaching. His son, Thatcher Taylor, assisted him in teaching,
and was present it is understood, when he fell in the schoolroom.
Mr. Paine was a Congregationalist and was a member of the South
church in Eastham, of which Mr. Crocker was pastor. The year in
which he changed the spelling of his name to Payne is not known.
In a letter to his uncle in 1776, it is written Paine. For his first
wife he married Miss Lucy Taylor of Barnstable, Mass., by Rev.
Timothy Hilliard, Nov. 14, 1775. Her death occurred not long after
marriage. For his second wife he married Miss Sarah Isaacs in
33
514 THE DOANE FAMILY.
1780. She was the daughter of Mr. Aaron Isaacs, a respected
citizen of Easthampton, R. I., and a woman remarkable for her
beauty and many excellent traits of character. She died at Boston,
Thursday, June 18, 1807, of consumption, after a long and distress-
ing illness, aged 49 years. Her remains were deposited in the
Sturgiss tomb in that city. She appears to have assisted her hus-
band in teaching. One of her pupils had 'pleasant remembrances
of her as a very pretty lady, very neat and dainty about her dress,'
teaching reading, spelling and sewing. She also remembered
'Master Paine to whose school she went after leaving Mrs. Paine's
school.' "
Mr. Paine was a beautiful penman. Many of his letters are still
extant. They are pieces of good composition and show a lovable
spirit. I subjoin one* written to his half-brother Samuel Osborn
* New York, 9th April, 1797.
My Dear Brother:
This will show you that I am still living— and I have the satisfaction to add— in good
health. I am indebted to Mr. Spears for this opportunity to write, and for the great pleas-
ure of hearing from you, and from our parents. You have regained your health— I am
very glad to hear it. May you long be continued a blessing to your family. Your family,
I am told, is going to be extended in the marriage of your son. He must be young at this
time, but I presume that it is a suitable connection which he is about to form, and as such
must be agreeable. Most ardently I wish to see you all. I always retain a little hope of
it, which serves but to increase the wish. Never was a son more affectionately attached
to a surviving parent than I have been, even from my infancy to the present time. And
when I have known ours, in arduous situations, in difficulty, in danger and in the most
distressing exigences, my soul has shared them, and the power of giving them relief
would have been to me the most superlative delight. I have often wished that I had been
permitted to go with you into that country. I have never yet forgotten my sensations
when I saw the family passing the window (where I stood attending family prayers) on
their way to embark at the landing by Mr. Nathaniel Mayo's. Providence overruled my
wishes — undoubtedly for the best— and I am certain that my mother used her best dis-
cretion in leaving me with that good clergyman whose memory I revere. It pleased God
to put me very early under the discipline of adversity, by which I ought undoubtedly to
have profited much better than I have. I have never been fortunate as we understand the
word; but constantly the reverse. I have, however, been happy in my family, which is
healthy— and our children particularly promising. Our eldest son, a little past thirteen, is
now in a store— does the business of a clerk and is equal to it. I have missed of two op-
portunities for writing you last winter, which I did intend to have improved, but I have
so many avocations as leads me to frequent omissions of this sort. I must beg you pre-
sent my most dutiful and affectionate remembrance to our parents— our mother in partic-
ular. Assure her of my most devout and fervent wishes for her welfare and happiness.
You see our sister Doane sometimes. It is long since I have heard anything particular
from her. Pray assure her of my kind remembrance and my wishes for her prosperity ;
it would give me much satisfaction to get a letter from her. Give my love to your family
and accept the same from ours, and believe me with kind regard
Your affectionate brother,
Wm. Payne.
Mr. S. Osbn Doane.
I do not clearly recollect, but I think I must have mentioned before.that our young-
est daughter now about 3£ years old, is named for our mother, and we call her Eliza.
Our next is a son about eight months old— he is the third boy and we have five girls.
