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 Doylestown 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) 
 
INTRODUCTION. Vll 
 
 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 
 expressing 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 a part 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. 
 
 Dones, 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 Karons 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, bad 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 atUtkinton 
 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 Utkintou 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, 
 Dowue, 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 surroundings, 
 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 Buttons of Button, an ancient manor of 
 the Forest, of Sir Piers Dntton 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 Rolls, 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 
 
xii 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 Aug n 6 th , 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, Dutton 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 
 
THE DONE FAMILY OF CHESHIRE, ENGLAND. 
 
 Xlll 
 
 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 Venables 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 Gugles, three arrows Argent 
 Crest.— 1st, on a wreath, eight arrows in saltire, 4 and 4, points downwards, Or, feathered 
 Sable, banded Gules ; '2nd, on a wreath, a Bucks Head erased proper, attired Or. Sup. 
 porters. Two Talbots, the dexter Argent the sinister Sable. Note. These supporters 
 were adopted by Lord Alvanley on his elevation to the Peerage, and are preserved 
 in ancient painted glass in the Utkinton chancel at Tarporley; but in the Visitation of 
 1580 two lions gardant are given as supporters of the Done arms. 
 
 perior Lords of Utkinton, being the baronial coat of Venables varied 
 with a bend, the difference adopted by the acknowledged younger 
 branches of the family in the house of Kinderton their barony, and 
 by a further addition of " three arrows " in allusion to their office of 
 Hereditary Chief Foresters, which in the first place was got by the 
 aforesaid marriage of a Done with a Kingsley. 
 
 The Arms of Done are thus described in Burke's General Armoury :

 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 Karl of Haddington. The picture 
 is well preserved, though dark in tone, and the figure appears to have 
 been depicted as wearing the Bugle Horn. 
 
 This Sir John Done, born 1576 and died Apr. 13, 1G29, 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- 
 sou 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- 
 bauk, 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 focns 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 one as shown in the drawing.

 GATEWAY AT UTKINTON. 
 
 This gateway is upon the east side, following which are the re- 
 mains of the Moat and an old Malting house. With the moat is con- 
 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. 
 
 The high wall enclosing the gardens is of old brick with stone fac- 
 ings, stone balls surmounting the gateways, which with the walls are

 lichen stained and bear the soft grey tints common to all old build- 
 ings. The broad 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 arc 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 Utkinton, in the days 
 gone by, had held cordial disposition to a generous hospitalit} 7 . 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 131 1 , 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 
 Doues, 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 Utkinton 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 he the room occupied by

 James I, when he visited Utkinton in 1617. The broad seated win- 
 dows overlook the quaintly nagged terrace below, where doubtless, in 
 the days gone by, had walked many a gay cavalier or courtly gentle- 
 man in ruffles and flue 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- 
 iu 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- 
 skip 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 : 
 Here by her clear Sister Jane Done, lieth the body of Mary Crewe, second 
 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

 1604, married at Stockport Church, Dec. 1, 1636 and had four children, viz. : 
 a daughter born at Harden, Oct. 3, 1637, and buried at the chapel at Stock- 
 port belonging to Ralph Arden, of Hardeu, Esquire who married Elinor, 
 youngest daughter of Sir John Done and one of the co-heirs of John Done 
 her brother. Mary, born at Utkinton Dec. 23, 1639, bur. at Richmond iu

DEACON JOHN DOANE 
 
 AND 
 
 HIS DESCENDANTS. 
 
 1 JOHN 1 DOANE came over from England and settled in Ply- 
 mouth. 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) 
 
* 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 Bridgeivater, 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. 6 
 
 entitled to be called Blister and their wives 3Iistress; 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 Doaue must have been known to the Pilgrims previous to his 
 coming to Plymouth. There are strong suggestions that he was in 
 partnership with Ml 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 New 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.

 [Apr. 8, 1633] Whereas Walter Harris had bound himself by in- 
 denture to serve Mr. John Atwood of Lond. under the comand of 
 Mr. John Done of New Plymouth for the space of five yeares, the

 Note. Walter Harris, according to Hottens List of Original Emigrants [p. 
 149], came in the William and James, and embarked March 6, 1631, for New 
 England. He was a young man, an apprentice of Mr. John Atwood, then of

 London : and his services were sold by Mr. Atwood for a period of five 
 years. This lease of Harris' service was transferred by John Done in April, 
 1633 to Henry llowland for £14 sterling.

 [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 amoiinted to £20. 18. s 6. Her debts to £33. 9 s 1. John Done charges 
 her estate with £9. 9. s 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 ml 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, 1G33] 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 powncls for the use of Mary Browne, daugh- 
 ter of the said Peter, to Mr. Joh Done of Plymoth aforesaid w Ul 
 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. 
 
 [Oct. 10, 1644] Memorand, the tenth of October 1644, that

 shee should accomplish the age of seventeene yeares, and should have 
 the use of the said p'con until then. Now the said terme oeing ex- 
 pired the said John Doane hath deliverd w th the consent of the said 
 Mary Browne, and by order of the Court, unto John Browne of Dux- 
 borrow two cowes, two cowes at xii" and forty shillings in swyne 
 and wheate and is by the Court discharged of the said xv 11 , and the 
 said John Browne is to keep the said two cowes and their encrease

 shall be marryed or thought fitt to marry, whereunto the said Mary 
 hath consented. — Ply. Col. Rec. Vol. ri, 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. Begister, 1883 : p. 276.

 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. Rec. 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

 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 Comon Weale. — Ply. Col. Bec.Vol. 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 Bepublic, 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 Gov 1 ' & Assistants for the 
 ceasing of men for the publick charge of this first present year.

 [Oct. 4, 1636] The ordnance of the colony & corporation being

 Note. In 1636, Elder Brewster, Pastor Smith and Deacons Doane and 
 Jenney of Plymouth, Jonathan Brewster and Christopher Wadsworth of 
 Duxbury, James Cndworth 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 11 th 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. 
 
 [March 14, 1635-36] That widow Billington have the marsh 
 against her owne grownd & what is too much for her is for Mr. Done. 
 — Ply. Col. Rec. Vol. i, p. 40. 
 
 [June 7, 1636] John Done, yeoman entreth an acco of slander 
 & layeth it in an 100 lb against Helin Billington widow. — Ply. Col. 
 Rec. Vol. i, p. 41. 
 
 At this Court an action of slander was tried between John Done, 
 plaintiffe & Helin Billington defendant wherein the defend 1 was cast 
 in five pownds starling to the plaintife and adjudged to be sett in the 
 stocks and whipt. — Ply. Col. Rec. 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 
 Kock), 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 tins " too much," and the

 deacon charging the dame with slander sued 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 Republic, 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 At wood, late of London, 
 Gent. : Now know ye that upon accounts between the said Job, & 
 John, the said John Atwood 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 
 1641 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 and 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 £3.17* 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. w th 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 Gouv r 
 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. Bee. Vol. i, p. 54. 
 
 [June 22, 1637] John Done of Plym. Gent. Suritie for Thomas 
 Butler of Ducksborrow.— Ply. Col. Bee. 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. 
 Bee. 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. Bee. 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

 the third day of May in the xiii year of his Ma tios now raigne &c. 
 hath bound himself apprentice to John Read of Waymouth, for the 
 terme of six yeares next after the date of the said indenture w Ul divers 
 other covenants on both pts to p r formed contained & expressed in 
 the said indenture. Now the said John Read for and in consideracon 
 of the suine 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 s (1 indenture. — Ply. Col. Rec. Vol. i, p. 65. 
 
 Note. Matthew Osborne was probably a son of John Osborne of Wey- 
 mouth. He deceased in 1041 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 the 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. Rec. 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 3 rd Septembr 1640, and 
 appoynted by the Court to be thus rased out. — Ply. Col. Rec. Vol. i, 
 p. 156. 
 
 [Jan. 7, 1644-5] Whereas Mr. John Done is lycensed to draw 
 wyne in Plymouth, and that James Cole is likewise lycensed to keepe 
 the ordinaiy there w ch 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 w th Mr. Done to take off those 
 wynes hee now hath in his hands. Agreement was after made be- 
 twixt them. — Ply. Col. Rec. 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. Rec. 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. Rec. 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. Rev. 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 " Newfleld," 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. Bee. 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 many rich became 
 herself poor."

 edg that for and in consideration of the sum of tenn pownds sterl.

 The corne now groweing in the garden is excepted w th some half 
 a dosseu of smale fruite trees w ch the said Willm. Hanbury shall give 
 the said John Done at the fall or spring. — Ply. Col. Rec. Vol. xu, p. 
 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 Easthani. 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 
 bad land granted him by the Court as well as by the town. It is 
 claimed that stone posts beariug his initials, and marking the bound- 
 aries of his large farm were standing as late as 1844. 
 
 Iu Eastham towu 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. Rec. 
 Vol. 5 of Deeds, p. 89 : 
 
 "To all people to whom these p r sents 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 divers 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 p r sents, 
 doth 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 assignes, 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 p r mises, or any yte or p r sell 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 Bangs, 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 tbe 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 LYDIA 2 DOANE (John 1 ) 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 bouse 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.

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 liickes five pounds; Item I give unto my 
 daughter in law Lydia hickes 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 
 what I can doe for him and his ; hee haveing alreddy Received a large por- 
 tion of that which god hath given mee ; not onely in lands but alsoe in goods 
 and chatties which was not onely my husbands and son Ephraims estate 
 formerly but alsoe given to mee by will att my son Ephraims death. 
 
 3 ABIGAIL 2 DOANE (John 1 ) was born at Plymouth, Jan. 13, 
 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, 1G32, 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. 
 
 1 1 c arrived with his family Sept. 18, 1G34, 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.

 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 kt 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 23 d Ano D 1734" 5 In 
 ye 104 Th 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 104 th 
 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 JOHN 2 DOANE, Jr. (John 1 ) 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 DANIEL 2 DOANE (John 1 ) was born probably at Plymouth, 
 about 1636, and died at Eastham, Dec. 20, 1712, in 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 Poehey, 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, dau. of Daniel and Mary Cole

 June 8, 1682, names wife Hepzibah executrix, and directs that " my Brother Israel 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 John 2 Snow (Nicholas 1 ), 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 Kidman 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.

 in 1794 and was living in 1796, when she sold house and laud 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 
 
36 THE DOANE FAMILY. 
 
 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, Keason 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 clays 
 before his death, and proved Dec. 24, 1755, is as follows:

DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 39 
 
 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. Faine 
 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 
 clays 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. 
 
 v Solomon, 4 b. at Eastham, May 16, 1698. He was converted in 
 1721 and united with the First Church in Canterbury. In 
 1741 he became deeply interested and was a leader in the 
 
 Chatham July 3, 1744. 
 *Dearwife 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 atji 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 6ome 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 religions 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, 
 174G. 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 wife, 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

 In the Name of God Amen : I Isaac Doane of Eastham in the County of 
 Barnstable, yeoman, being arrived to old age, tho thro the Goodness of God, 
 of sound, disposing mind and memory do therfore make my Last will and

 lowing manner.

 After the death of her husbaud she removed to Gorham,

 farm in the south part of the town from John Burnall, and 
 is named in the deed as " of Wellfieet." She was in Gorham 
 in 1793. An old lady, whose grandparents were neighbors 
 of Mrs. Holbrook in Gorham, says that Margaret was held 
 to be a witch. Her witclnvork, however, seemed to consist 
 only in tangling the warp in her neighbors' looms. Ch.

 11 DAVID 3 DOANE (John, 2 John 1 ) 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 on 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 tities 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 JOSEPH 3 DOANE (Daniel, 2 John, 1 ) was born 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 Whiddah 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, Eastkam, 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 Galley, 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

 widow of Richard 3 Sparrow (Jonathan, 2 Richard 1 ) and daughter of 
 James 2 and Sarah (Lewis) Cobb and granddaughter of Henry 1 Cobb, 
 the immigrant. Israel Doane was admitted townsman of Eastham, Mar. 
 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 DANIEL 3 DOANE (Daniel, 2 John 1 ) 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. Edmund 3 Freeman, b. June, 1657; m. Sarah Mayo, b. Dec. 19, 
 1660, dau. of Capt. Samuel 3 Mayo (Rev. John*). 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 17 th of 3 rd mo. 
 1696. We here are to signify to all whom it may concern that our friend 
 Daniel Doaue and his wife Mehetabel, that as far as we know their lives 
 and conversations hath been as becometh y e 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. Wm. Allen, 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,

 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 inquisitusto 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 negromantic 
 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 
 Doan, Israel Doan, Lydia Stradling, Rebecca Randall and George Randall, (my 
 son-in-law) husbmid of my daughter, Elizabeth (deceased) 5 shillings each. 
 To my dear and loving wife, Mary Doan, the remaining all and singular,

 bringing up of my children, born of my said wife, Mary Doan, namely,

 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.

 16 HEZEKIAH 3 DOANE (Ephraim, 2 John 1 ) was born at East- 
 ham, Mass., in Aug., 1672, and died in that part of Eastham, now 
 
 Wellfleet early in 1752. He married, first, Hannah, of whom we 
 
 have no further information. Married second, about 1717, Mary 
 (Smith) Freeman, widow of Thomas Freeman of Harwich. She died 
 after 1742. Married third, in 1744, Mrs^SarahKnowles 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. 
 21, 1756. Amount of inventory £892-5-5.

62 THE DOANE FAMILY. 
 
 18 EBENEZER 3 DOANE (Ephraim, 2 John 1 ) 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 JOHN 4 DOANE (John, 3 John, 2 John 1 ) 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 Mehetabel, 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.

 20 JOHN 4 DOANE (John, 3 John,« John 1 ) was born at East- 
 ham, 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 Doane 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 Lnne (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 
 Benjamin, John Doane, Nancy Hayden wife of Daniel, Jane Bourne 
 deed., late wife of Thomas; children of said deceased or their legal 
 representatives.

 Ames of Boston. She died and he married, third, widow Hanora 
 Fitzgerald of Scituate. 
 
 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-

 less freedom and preached, with great acceptance, to his charge at 
 Cohasset for forty-four years. He enjoyed social intercourse and 
 terms of intimacy with his brother-in-law Col. Elisha Doane of Boston 
 (103) and the following extracts from his diary show how a good

 the Republic.

 27 ELEAZER 4 DOANE (David, 3 John, 2 John 1 ) was born prob- 
 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, Hannah 4 Mayo, daughter of Na- 
 thaniel 3 and Mary (Brown) Mayo (John, 2 Rev. John 1 ). 
 
 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 £6 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 3 785, 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 Shelburne forty-five acres of their farm, situated on 
 Shelburne Harbor in what was then called the " Settlement," and 
 known as " Number Two."

 28 DAVID 4 DOANE (David, 3 John, 2 John*) was born, prob- 
 ably, at Eastham, Mass., though his birth is not recorded on the town 
 records. He is named with the other children in his father's will, 
 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. Doane 
 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.

 Zachariah- and Deborah (Sears) Paddock, and great-granddaughter 
 of Robert 1 Paddock and wife Mary. Joseph Doane was a mariner 
 and lived in Eastham. He was in the expedition against Louisbourg 
 in 1745, but returned in broken health and died as above noted. 
 After his death, his widow and children removed to Middletown, 
 Conn., where he had bought land as eai'ly as Nov. 26, 1742, " on the 
 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- 
 tou, 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

 and Jedidah (Smith) Osborn. 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

 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 1760. 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 Barringtou, 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. 5| 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 tlie 
 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 in 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 Sherbum, 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.

 Wrightstown Meeting, his name often appearing on the business 
 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 the 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 
 deceased and Benjamin, David and Rebecca, are named as children 
 of wife Rebecca.

 unity with Friends was accepted. He continued in membership with

 39 JOSEPH 4 DOANE (Daniel, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) 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 witli 
 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 were 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 
 
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 81 
 
 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 ISRAEL 4 DOANE (Daniel, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) 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, 1725, 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 EPHRAIM 4 DOANE (Hezekiah, 3 Ephraim, 2 John 1 ) 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 ELISHA 4 DOANE (Hezekiah, 3 Ephraim, 2 John 1 ) was bora, 
 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 appears 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 bis 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 shows 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 : 
 
 Elisha Doane Esq. died December 7, 1759 aetatis suse 
 60 ; sustained the office of a deacon near 30 years from 
 the first gathering of the church, and after several military

 The court made an allowance of money to the widow and the balance 
 of the estate was divided among the creditors.

 John Avery, Sept. 13, 1713. He married Elizabeth Skillings, who 
 was bora Apr. 25, 1713, the daughter of Samuel 3 and Aroda (Haley) 
 Skillings (John, 2 Thomas 1 ) 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 ELISHA 5 DOANE (John, 4 John,* John, 9 John 1 ) 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 Lon- 
 don, grandson of Elisha 5 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 Bar ham 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 dan. 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 
 (92) 
 
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 93 
 
 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 Beutham. 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 Hentliam'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 any 
 family by the name of Doane in this country except my own. There are 
 plenty of Dones, they are from Cheshire. Both 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.

 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 JOHN 5 DOANE (Simeon, 4 Samuel, 3 John, 2 John') was born 
 at Eastham, 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 bis age, and 
 was buried in Herring Pond burial-ground near the old church where 
 he had worshipped (gravestones). He married about 1761 Betsey

 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.

 shop at Eastham ; but, becoming more or less involved in debt to 
 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, 
 of Brookfield." His widow Martha spent her last days at the home of 
 his grandson Cheney Doane (325). His will, dated Oct. 23, 1804, 
 was proved Oct. 23, 1810. He names wife Martha; daughter Martha 
 Doane ; sons Amos, Oliver, Elisha and Nathan ; daughter Lucy 
 Flagg to whom he gave "one silver table spoon."

 * 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 think, 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 yearold 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. T., 
 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 confiued in the 
 British Prison Ship Jersey, off Long Island, is the name John Doan.

 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 his 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 Cod. 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 woidd 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 Will Baptists, or as some term them 
 New Lights.

 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 
 1895.)

 87 SAMUEL OSBORN 5 DOANE (Edmund, 4 Israel, 3 Daniel, 2 
 John 1 ) 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 ability 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 DANIEL 5 DOANE (Daniel, 4 Daniel, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) 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.

 90 JOHN 5 DOANE (Daniel, 4 Daniel, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) was born 
 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 aud 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 Penn'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.

 vi Rachel, 6 b 1775, 10, 26; m. Kline, who was a gentleman 
 
 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. 
 She married, 2nd, John Housel who survived her. Ch., of

 in Bucks Co., Pa., 1716-17, 1, 11 and died in Haycock township, 
 
 before morning on the 31st of 3rd mo., 1780, her son Amos was born. Another time while 
 Phoebe 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.

 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 and the son, Eleazer, became 
 the purchaser.

 2, 28 (buried in Eriends cemetery, Wrightstown). He married 1758, 
 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 (Buckman) Hestou 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

 93 TITUS 5 DOANE (Elijah, 4 Daniel, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) was 
 born near Wrightstown, Pa., 1727, 3, 29, and died probably at Crow- 
 land, Ontario, Canada. He married, but his wife's name is unknown 
 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 Crowland, 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- 
 land."

 Creek), the widow of Alexander Stewart and daughter of John and 
 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.

 95 EBENEZER 5 DOANE (Joseph, 4 Daniel, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) 
 was born at "Wrights town, Bucks Co., Pa., 1733, 7, 5 and died 
 near Toronto, Canada, 1818, 11, 21. He married about 1754 or 
 1755, Anna Savilla Sloy, who was born in Hanover, Germany, 1732, 
 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 consequence 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 the 
 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 JOSEPH 5 DOANE (Israel, 4 Daniel, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) 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 Viekers 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 not 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 tilings 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 Uoans 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 sentence of 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 his friends 
 in Plumstead that, for several mouths 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 
 mouths 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 
 9 
 
130 THE DOANE FAMILY. 
 
 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, aud 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.

 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.

 98 ISRAEL 5 DOANE (Israel, 4 Daniel, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) 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 
 aud 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 hi3 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 and 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 
 
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 133 
 
 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.

 Both in Eastham and in Chatham he was engaged in the whale fish- 
 eries, and in the latter town for many years prior to 1765 he " kept 
 a Public House of Entertainment which hath been of great benefit to 
 the Fisheries." He was a prominent man in Chatham ; a selectman 
 for many years after 1768; a Justice of the Peace and a Represen- 
 tative to the General Court. He was an ardent patriot and, when 
 the Revolution came on, he was foremost in that town to prepare for 
 the conflict. He was long prominent in military affairs in the lower 
 part of Cape Cod, and for several years was Colonel of the 2nd Regi- 
 ment of militia.

 103 ELISHA 5 DOANE (Elisha, 4 Hezekiah, 3 Ephraim, 2 John 1 ) 
 was born in that part of Eastham, now Wellfleet, Mass., June 23, 
 1725, and died, of apoplexy, in Boston, Mass., Jan. 25, 1783. He 
 married first, at Wellfleet, by Rev. Isaiah Lewis, Feb. 22, 1743-4, 
 Hope Rich, born May 7, 1725 and died June 23, 1766, the daughter 
 of Dea. John and Hope (Howes) Rich, of Wellfleet. Married second, 
 Dec. 25, 1768, Ann Doane, born in Boston, Sept. 8, 1744 and died at 
 Jamaica Plain, Mass., July 9, 1849, the youngest daughter of John 
 and Jane (Collier) Doane, of Wellfleet and Boston (7). 
 
 Elisha Doane was an ensign of his father's company at Louisbourg

 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, aud 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 DwigMs Travels it 
 is said : " Col. Doane of Wellfleet, and Thomas Boyleston of Boston 
 were estimated by their fellow citizeus 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 iu Boston, where he was engaged in commerce, and where he 
 had a handsome house and delighted in receiving and entertaining 
 hi3 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

 I am Informed byCapt. Doane that your Honor Requires from me something in writing 
 Relating to his Son having an Ensign Commission in his Company, all I know of the affair 
 Capt. Doan's Company is the largest in this Regiment and I always understood until of 
 Late that his son had an Ensign Commission before he came away from N. England, but as 
 I understand it Gouvnour Sherley was here when Capt. Doan came from N. England and 
 att Capt. Doan's arrival here Gouvnour Sherley left this place by reason of which and 
 Capt. Doan's sickness I understand there was no Commission granted. Notwithstanding 
 he hath acted In that Capacity ever sence and I think ought to be Intitled to the wages of 
 a commission from your Honor If you think proper.

 Tremont and School streets, Boston. His first wife, Hope, was bur- 
 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).

 John 1 ) 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, Elizabeth 5 Crowell, who died at Wellfleet, Mass., July 2, 
 1799, aged 74 years, the dau. of Paul 4 Crowell of Chatham, Mass. 
 (John, 3 John, 2 John 1 ). 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 men 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 lien 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 :

 That is to say principally and first of all I give and recommend my soul into 
 the hands of God that gave it, and my body I recommend to the earth to be 
 buried in decent manner at the discretion of my Executor hereinafter named 
 in good hope of a joyful reserection through the merits of my Savior Jesus 
 Christ. And as to my worldly estate wherewith it has pleased God to bless 
 me in this life, I give devise and dispose of as follows : 
 
 Imprimis. I give and bequeath to my beloved wife Elizabeth the im- 
 provement of all my real and personal estate during her natural life, after 
 all my just debts and Funeral charges have been paid. Then I give and be- 
 queath to my grandson Hezekiah Jr. son to my late son Hezekiah Doane one 
 quarter of a full share out of my estate after the decease of my wife Eliza- 
 beth, Real and Personal. I give and bequeath to my grandson Henry Doane, 
 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 
 of my grandsons Hezekiah or Henry should die without issue, lawfully be- 
 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 
 decease of my wife. Then I give to my son-in-law, Solomon Harding, six- 
 teen dollars and sixty-four cents, to be paid after the decease of my wife. 
 Then I give devise and bequeath to my two surviving sons Joseph Doane 
 and Elisha Doane their heirs and assigns forever as tenants in common, and 
 not as joint tenants, to be equally divided between them the residue and re- 
 mainder of my estate both Real and Personal after the decease of my wife. 
 Finally, I do constitute and appoint my son Elisha Doane sole executor to 
 this my last will and testament, disallowing all others and ratifying and 
 confirming this and no other to be my last will and testament. Signed, 
 Sealed and Published, Pronounced and declared by the Testator to be his 
 
 last will and Testament.

 108 THOMAS 5 DOANE (Thomas, 4 Thomas, 3 Ephraim, 2 John 1 ) 
 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 Eastham, 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) 
 Myrick. 
 
 On his father's death in 1747, 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. The 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 and 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 
 Rev". 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 his 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 Osbom (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.

 Westcott. Married second, at Cape Elizabeth, Nov. 21, 1766, Sarah 
 McDougle, who died at Durham, Me., about 1817. Mr. Doane was 
 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. 
 
 Edward Doane was in Captain Skillings Co., against the Indians 
 and was a soldier in the French and in the Revolutionary wars.

 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.

 117 EDWARD 6 DOANE (Noah, 5 Solomon, 4 Samuel, 3 John, 2 
 John 1 ) 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, and bought a small place near the middle of the town. About 
 June 1, 1838, he again sold out, and 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.

 intelligence and good judgment, his opinions were ever 
 sought by his fellow-citizens. He held offices of honor and 
 trust, but always refused them when he could conveniently 
 do so. A beautiful monument marks his grave and those 
 of other members of his family, in the cemetery at N.

 dent. Mr. Dorman has never engaged in public life, but

160 THE DOANE FAMILY. 
 
 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 Suffleld Academy where he re- 
 mained nearly two years. He then entered the employ of a 
 dry goods firm 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 
 Stock Exchange. Dec. 28, 1864, he married Emily Eliza 
 daughter of Wm. H. and Eliza (Saltmarsh) Overton of 
 Athens, Pa. He took his bride to Brooklyn, N. Y., where 
 he lived until 1883. In 1877, he sold his seat in Wall St., 
 and gave his attention to the Jasepora Ware Co. in which 
 he had a controlling interest. In 1883, he sold this business 
 and went to Chicago, where he was engaged in real estate 
 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, Rialclo Latimer, at the age of 18 mos. 
 nearly unsettled his reason, 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,

 143 AMOS 6 DOANE (Elisha, 5 Jonathan, 4 Dr. David, 3 John, 2 
 John 1 ) was born at Eastham, Mass., about 1758 and died at Hamp- 
 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 soldier 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 Burgoyne on the Hudson and was 
 in that hard fought battle of Sept. 19, 1776, iu 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 60 do hereby 
 testify and say that on or about the month of Apr., 1777, 1 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 where I was regularly discharged on or about the 10th day 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 Eev. 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.

 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.)

 a carpenter and builder. At an early day he took quite a 
 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.

 two children, Gen. Henry H. and George C. Dodge. Ch. : 1.

 was admitted to the Bar of the county. He was a commis- 
 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-

 169 NATHANIELS DOANE (Seth, 5 Joseph, 4 Joseph, 3 Daniel, 2 
 John 1 ) was born in Middle Haddam, Conn., June 1, 1762 and died 
 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., 1816. 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 
 uear 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 iu Euclid.

 * I well remember my grandmother, Hester Doane, as a grand christian woman. She 
 spent her last years under my father's roof. Grandfather Doane owned a quarry iu Ma- 
 romas, then a part of Middletown and a farm of over two hundred acres. He built a new 
 and large bouse, which is still standing and was " well to do " for those days. My father, 
 Diodate Spencer, returned from Michigan and bought laud, and married Mr. Doane's 
 only daughter. Mr. Doane's children being married, and fearing they would leave him, 
 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, 1837. My grandfather 
 named me after himself Roswell Doaue 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.

 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 storekeeper. Ch. : 1. Ros-

 age to Hong Kong, China, and other ports. From this time 
 he followed the sea, and rapidly rose to the command of 
 some of the finest ships then afloat. In the days of the 
 gold fever in California when speed was desirable, he made 
 the passage from Boston to San Francisco in 76 days, the 
 quickest passage then on record. He afterward sold his 
 interest in sailing ships, and entered the employ of the 
 U. P. S. S. Co., in command of several of their steamships, 
 taking out two of them from New York to San Francisco 
 via Cape Horn, and one, the America, via Cape of Good 
 Hope, which ship he continued to command between San 
 Francisco, China and Japan, until she was destroyed by fire 
 in the harbor of Yokohama. His health becoming impaired, 
 Capt. Doane then went to St. Augustine, Fla. They left 
 no children.

 200 ISRAEL 6 DOANE (Israel, 5 Edmund, 4 Israel, 3 Daniel, 2 
 John 1 ) 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 Kenuey, 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) 
 Kenuey of Chatham, Mass., and Barrington. Married, second, about 
 
 , Mary (Gravel) 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 were born. Selling his Argyle property to Major 
 McKinnon they removed to Little River where, on Mar. 4, 1816, 
 "Israel Doaue, 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 Pinkncys, 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

 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." 
 
 Mr. Doane and his first wife, Mehetabel, were baptized by Rev. 
 Enoch Towner, and were members of the Argyle Baptist church. 
 After their removal to Little River he united by letter Mar. 5, 1819, 
 with the Yarmouth First Baptist church of which Rev. Harris Hard- 
 ing was then pastor, but transferred his membership to the South 
 Yarmouth church at Central Chebogue on its organization in Apr. 
 1853. His wife was a member of the First church from Jan. 11 
 1828, till her death in 1847. His was a strongly religious nature. 
 He lived and talked Christianity all the days of his long life. He 
 loved his God, his Bible, his church. His seven daughters and only 
 son were members of Baptist churches.

 of Gideon Nickerson of Chatham, Mass., and Barrington. After 
 the death of her parents, she lived until her marriage with a family 
 at Pubnico, or at Argyle. He married, second, Mary Spinckes. Mr. 
 Doane was four years old, when his parents moved from Barrington

 202 SUSANNAH 6 DOANE (Israel, 5 Edmund, 4 Israel, 3 Daniel, 2 
 John 1 ) 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 Kenney, 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 Hemau 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. Kenney. 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 : 
 
 i William, 7 b. Sept. 4, 1802 ; d. Dec. 29, 1814.

 iii Prince Doane, 7 b. Mar. 18, 1807; d. at Woodstock, N. B., 
 July 8, 1886; m. at Argyle, N. S., Didamia Spinney. He 
 was a seaman in early life, and was master of small 
 coasting- vessels, carrying several loads of coal from Cape 
 Breton to New York. When nine years old, he went on a 
 fishing voyage with his father off Cape Sable. When 
 eleven years old, he was cook, on a fishing voyage off

 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.

 v Reuben Caiioon, 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."

 thorough in every department and sympathetic with his 
 pupils in all their troubles fancied and real, earnest in his 
 efforts for the rapid advancement of those under his charge, 
 — he was an ideal teacher and started many a young man on 
 the road to success and fortune. After many years of ser- 
 vice as a teacher he was appointed to the office of Govern- 
 ment Inspector of Schools for Shelburne Co., and later to 
 the same position for the new inspectoral district compris- 
 ing the counties of Shelburne and Yarmouth. 
 
 204 HERVEY 6 DOANE (Samuel O., 5 Edmund, 4 Israel, 3 
 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) 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 ente r 
 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. 
 
 *6 V 
 
 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.

 212 DANIEL 6 DOANE (or Thomas) (Daniel, 5 Daniel, 4 Daniel, 3 
 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) was born in the Northern Liberties, now Philadel- 
 phia, Pa., 1760, 4, 13 and died in Muskingum Co., Ohio, 1829, 7, 
 17. He married, about 1791, Mary Plumley, who died in Muskingum 
 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.

 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.

 Ind., 1850, 7, 22. He married, at Larrys Creek, Lycoming Co., 
 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.

 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 LEE 6 DOANE (John, 5 Daniel, 4 Daniel^ Daniel, 58 
 John 1 ) 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, Martha Staats, 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 ELEAZER 6 DOANE (John, 5 Eleazer, 4 Daniel, 3 Daniel, 2 
 John 1 ) was born at Haycock township, Bucks Co., Pa., 1742, 12, 10 
 and died at Plumstead, Pa., in 1811. He married, about 1769, Mary 
 Kinse}-, who was born 1752, 12, 8 and died at Plumstead, 1837, 9, 
 aged 84 years 11 months, 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 and 
 Solomon Vickers, Eleazer Doane was brought under the bah 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 being sufficient to 
 satisfy the jury, he was acquitted.

 Respected Brother: 
 
 I take this opportunity to inform thee that we are in middling 
 state of health at present only Jonathan and he has been sick about one week, and we 
 are in hopes that these may find you all well. I have not much to write unto thee that is 
 of interest. I received thy letter. It was some satisfaction to hear that you were mostly 
 well. But thee signifies that thee is not settled, and signifies that the country is so diffi- 
 cult and that thee can not advise us to come or where to come to. I still am in the notion 
 of going to those parts. If I was easily discouraged by the accounts that I have had 
 from there I might have been entirely out of the uotion, for I have heard that the 
 bottom-land has become very droughty and hard, breaks up very cloddy and that your 
 cows die by great numbers and I have heard that thee has a notion of coming back. I 
 could hardly give credit to it but thee gives me such a short account in thy letter I don't 
 know what to think of it. But Robert Carter informs me that thee likes the Miami 
 country pretty well. But by the account thee sent we did not know whether thee liked 
 
224 THE DOANE FAMILY. 
 
 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, he 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 sent me a full account of it. I have heard 
 that thee has missed many good bargains in laud 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 hi6 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 will 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 first for $2600 is a great sum. So no more about that. Our erop 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 account that I have signified to thee.

 Blount counties, Teun. In the autumn of 1815 they removed to Paoli, 
 Orange Co., Ind., and in 1820, to White Lick, Ind. A principal 
 cause of his removal from the South was his hatred of human slavery, 
 a sentiment which has been fully shared by all his descendants. He

 Meeting of Friends, 1778, 4, 15, Mary, the daughter of Timothy 
 Beans of Tinicum, Bucks Co. In the marriage record he is noted as 
 of Solebury. He married, second, in New York city, Mary Higgins, 
 who died at Burlington, N. J., Mar. 7, 1858, aged 84 years. 
 
 Mr. Doane was a man of mark in his day, as a master builder and 
 contractor, and did business in Trenton, N. J., Geneva, N. Y., 
 and in New York city. He died leaving the homestead unfinished, 
 and most of his hard-earned livelihood in an unsecured debt, which 
 was never realized. He is described as a man of singular persever- 
 ance and high principle, commanding and handsome in appearance, 
 most loving and devoted in all his home relations.

 224 JOHN 6 DOANE (Ebenezer, 5 Joseph, 4 Daniel, 3 Daniel, 2 
 John 1 ) 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

 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 six 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 6 th of 4 th mo. 1807, 
 which was read and accepted. 
 
 " I well remember my grandfather's description of the first dwelling they 
 occupied in Canada. 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 
 Canada 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 Doans, 
 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. Doan had 
 a quantity of flour iu 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."

 he returned to Bucks county and in May, 1808, in company with his

 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

 227 MOSES 6 DOANE (Joseph, 5 Israel, 4 Daniel, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) 
 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 
 otbers, 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 1781, was one of the exciting events of the day. John Hart, then treasurer, lived in the 
 house that lately belonged to AbramBond in the lower part of the village (Newtown).

 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 G-allows 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, Ave 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 illgotteu 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 JOSEPH 6 DOANE (Joseph, 5 Israel, 4 Daniel, 3 Daniel, 2 
 John 1 ) 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 born 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 
 Doaues. 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 June 30, 1783, 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 Doan, 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 Joeias 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 landed 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^suffered 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.

 * 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.' Tiie 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 stiU 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 liis 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 headforemost 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 clay 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 another 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."

 John 1 ) was born in Plnmstead, 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.

 The Petition of Aaron Doane a languishing Prisoner in the Jail of the City

 Most humbly sheweth, 
 
 That your Petitioner unfortunately fell under the Suspicion of this Hon'ble 
 Board as being au 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 upou 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

 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.

 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.

 * Levi, son of exile Aaron, is no more. The bright old man was seized with paralysis, 
 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 fine property of four hundred acres in his homestead, and on a part of it lived 
 the son who has just died.— Walter Shanley, Montreal, Dec. 20, 1884.

 230 LEVI 6 DOANE (Joseph, 5 Israel, 4 Daniel, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) 
 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,

242 THE DOANE FAMILY. 
 
 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, agroup 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

 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 moment. 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 Ross, 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 been thus signally outdone was so 
 amazxHl 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."

 Hannura), 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 not applied 
 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 
 srirls 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. 
 
 231 MAHLON 6 DOANE (Joseph, 5 Israel, 4 Daniel, 3 Daniel, 2 
 John 1 ) 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 prison, 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 JONATHAN^ DOANE (Elijah, 5 Israel, 4 Daniel, 3 Daniel, 2 
 John 1 ) 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.

 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.

 left Vt. when a young man ; lived in Central N. Y. many 
 years, but later followed his children to Michigan. 
 
 * They were christians of fine old 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 ISAIAH 6 DOANE (Elisha, 5 Elisha, 4 Hezekiah, 3 Ephraim, 2 
 John 1 ) 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, retaining the family home in Wellfleet and pur- 
 chasing a country house in Med ford, 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 fully 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.

 242 ELISHA 6 DOANE (Elisha, 5 Elisha, 4 Hezekiah, 3 Ephraim, 2

 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 
 church, Boston, and, later, Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Massachu- 
 setts. Married second, July 4, 1825, Elizabeth dishing who died at 
 Lynn, Mass., June 17, 1841, aged 69 years (buried in tomb 166, 
 Old Granary bury ing-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. 
 
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 255 
 
 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.

 had, at least, one son, but we have not found a record of the mar- 
 riage, and have not ascertained the name of his wife. He is named 
 
256 THE DOANE FAMILY. 
 
 in his father's will, dated Oct. 9, 1795, as " my late son Henry 
 Doane." The History of Eastham says, he died in the Revolutionary 
 war. From the war records in the Massachusetts State Archives 
 we have the following : 
 
 "Henry Doane, private, Capt. Joseph Smith's detachment of Well- 
 fleet militia, which marched to Falmouth Sept. 10, 1778, by order of 
 Brig. Joseph Otis, on an alarm ; service 2 days ; reported 52 miles

 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.)

 1828, and was actively identified with all the public business 
 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 NEHEMIAH 6 DOANE (Thomas, 5 Thomas, 4 Thomas, 3 Eph- 
 raim, 2 John 1 ) 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 " 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 attended, 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 BROWN 7 DOANE (Edward, 6 Noah, 5 Solomon, 4 
 Samuel, 3 John, 2 John 1 ) was born at Dana, Mass., Feb. 8, 1798 and 
 died at Independence, Kansas, Feb., 1876. He married first, at 
 Lowell, Mass., Oct. 5, 1823, Meloria Lucretia Johnson, who was 
 
272 THE DOANE FAMILY. 
 
 born 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, he 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

 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.

 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- 
 vices, and reserved land for a church building.

 At the age of twenty-one, Mr. Doane went to Brighton, Mass., 
 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 
 his wife he returned to Petersham on a visit in 1883, after an ab- 
 sence of forty-six years.

 273 RUFUS 7 DOANE (Edward, 6 Noah, 5 Solomon, 4 Samuel, 3 
 John, 2 John 1 ) was born at Dana, Mass., Feb. 10, 1807 and died at 
 Monterey, N. Y., Feb. 10,1878 (gravestone, Monterey). He married 
 Oct. 13, 1836, Sarah Hyde, who was bom 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

 ever after was partially helpless. He died of cancer which began to 
 develop one and a half years before his death. No children. 
 
 274 JOHN B. 7 DOANE (Edward, 6 Noah, 5 Solomon, 4 Samuel, 3 
 John, 2 John 1 ) 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.

 275 LEANDER 7 DOANE (Edward, 6 Noah, 5 Solomon, 4 Samuel, 3 
 John, 2 John 1 ) 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.

 276 LEONARD 7 DOANE (Samuel, 6 Nehemiah, 5 Solomon, 4 
 Samuel, 3 John, 2 John 1 ) 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 clays. 
 
 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 aud 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 tbe 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.

 Samuel, 3 John, 2 John 1 ) 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 any 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.

 Hon. John Doane was educated at Sandwich Academy and at

 mitted to the bar in Barnstable, about 1818, and practised for more 
 than half a century. He was a Representative to the Legislature and 
 in 1830 was first elected State Senator, in which office he served three 
 terms with dignity and ability. He was at one time a member of the 
 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 
 which he lived, and upon the public whose interests he sought to 
 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- 
 iarly known all over the Cape as " Squire Doane." He was a friend 
 to young men seeking to obtain an education. He was one of the

 318 RUSSELL 7 DOANE (Myrick, 6 Isaiah, 5 Simeon, 4 Samuel, 3 
 John, 2 John 1 ) was born at Eastham, Mass., Nov. 29, 1801 and died 
 in Brooklyn ( Williamsburgh) , N. Y., Oct. 26, 1877. He married at 
 Eastham 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 his^residence 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 Eastham on Cape Cod. 
 
 The subject of this notice was born in Eastham 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

 and ailments, and has frequently expressed a conviction that his end -was 
 near. He leaves a widow and one son, Dr. Charles R. Doane, well known 
 in this district. — Newspaper.

 319 HEMAN 7 DOANE (Heman, 6 Isaiah, 5 Simeon, 4 Samuel, 3 
 John, 2 John 1 ) 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 town 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, Higgins, 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 clays. 
 
 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 know 
 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. 
 
 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 ELISHA 7 DOANE (Elisha, 6 Elisha, 5 Jonathan, 4 Dr. David, 3 
 John, 2 John 1 ) was bora at Brookfield, Mass., June 28, 1795 and 
 died at Boca, Cal., Dec. 18, 1871. He married at Lyme, O., Jan. 
 15, 1822, Chloe Miller, who was bom 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, 
 
310 THE DOANE FAMILY. 
 
 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 Eoad 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 in Eastham, but after two years 
 of land life, he sold out to Moses Eaton, bought the brig Vancle 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.

 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-

 years. The pall bearers were John Wishart, Charles McLaughlin, R. D. Mc

324 THE DOANE FAMILY. 
 
 345 GILBERT GRISWOLD 7 DOANE (John, 6 Levi, 5 David, 4 
 David, 3 John, 2 John 1 ) 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, 
 lie 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 o-reat 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,

 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, in Annals of the Early Settlers Association, 
 Cleveland, No. 6, p. 51 and No. 7, p. 58.)

 cemetery, Cleveland), the daughter of Nathaniel and Isabel Wood- 
 ruff, of Morristown, N. J., and later of Cleveland, whither they had 
 removed in 1814. Mr. Doaue 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 
 one of the original members of the Euclid Avenue Congregational 
 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 18G0 to Cleveland poorer than when he set 
 out eleven years before. In 186G 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

 the promineut moral workers of the day— Moody and Sankey, 
 Francis Murphy and others. He contributed most of the 
 funds for the erection of Music Hall in Cleveland, and liter- 
 ally broke down his health in temperance and reform work.

 In the winter of 1837 Mr. Doane moved with his father's family 
 from Connecticut to the wilds of Springfield, now Leona, Pa., where 
 they settled and cleared a tract of land, which is now the home of 
 some of his children. He was a man of character, and prominent in 
 the affairs of the M. E. church.

 356 JOSEPH CHAPMAN 7 DOANE (Roswell, 6 Phineas, 5 
 Joseph, 4 Joseph, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) 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 Scran ton, 
 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 
 
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 333 
 
 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 operated 
 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 1852 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 bis 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

 372 NATHANIEL 7 DOANE (Nathaniel, 6 Elisha, 5 Elisha, 4 
 Joseph, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) was born at the old homestead at Harwich, 
 Mass., Feb. 1, 1816 and died there May 28, 1895 (buried in Har- 
 wichport cemetery) . He married, in 1862, Mrs. Zilpha D. Harding, 
 who was born at Newburg, Me., Apr. 17, 1830, the widow of Joshua 
 Harding of Chatham, Mass., aud daughter of Nathan and Polly J. 
 Doane (269) of Newburg, Me. Mr. Doane received a public school

 his father. He later became master of a vesssl and engaged iu the 
 
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 343 
 
 coasting trade during the summer seasons, and taught school in 
 winter for some twelve years. In him schools and educational 
 matters found a stanch friend ; generations of pupils and scores of 
 teachers came under his wise counsel and cheering encouragement 
 during the more than quarter centuiy he served his town on the 
 school board. He was a Representative in the Legislature in 1851, 
 1852 and 1853. In 1858, was elected Republican Representative 
 from his district, which embraced the towns of Dennis, Harwich, 
 Yarmouth and Chatham. In 1860, he was defeated of a reelection 
 by the late Obed Nickerson, by only one vote. He was a stanch 
 Republican but never put party above principle and patriotism. He 
 held the office of commissioner to qualify civil officers ; was a Justice 
 of the Peace fifty years, and a trustee of the Cape Cod Five Cent 
 Savings Bank. At one time Mr. Doane was interested in the tow 
 boat business in Boston, and owned the boat Camilla. He retired 
 from the sea in 1860 and engaged in farming and in the culture 
 of cranberries. He was prominent in educational and religious work 
 and united with the Congregational church at Harwich Center in 
 1836. In 1855, he was chief among the organizers of the Pilgrim 
 church at Harwichport, which was dedicated on his thirty-ninth birth- 
 day anniversary, and of which he was a faithful and honored mem- 
 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 ABIATHAR 7 DOANE (Nathaniel, 6 Elisha, 5 Elisha, 4 
 Joseph, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) 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 
 History of Barnstable County.

 382 GUY WILLIAM 7 DOANE (William, 6 Prince, 5 Prince, 4 
 Israel 3 , Daniel, 2 John 1 ) 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 1813 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 Cinciunati, 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 Worthington. 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.

 384 WILLIAM SMITH 7 DOANE (Prince, 6 Prince, 5 Prince, 4 
 Israel, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) was born at New Milford, Conn., Mar. 22, 
 1780 and died at Rome, Athens Co., O., Nov. 10, 1873. He mar- 
 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,jMr. 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 & Stra'tton'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-flve 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

 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 7 th in

 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 veiy 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.

 of William and Jane (Weston) Hall of Beaver River. Mr. Doane 
 settled on the ''northern one half" of his father's homestead at Little 
 River, which half contained about eighty-five acres of upland and 
 thirteen acres of salt and dyke marsh, for which he paid £100. In 
 1849 they moved from Little River to Pinkneys Point, on Chebogue 
 Harbor, but returned in 1854. On Apr. 12, 1858, they removed to 
 the Kinney farm on the Chebogue River but returned to Little River, 
 Apr. 12, 1859, where soon after Mrs. Doane died. Her funeral was 
 held at the old Meeting House on the Hill, Rev. Anthony Martell 
 officiating. Mr. Doane was a christian man and a member of Bap- 
 tist churches nearly half a century. In early manhood he sat under 
 the preaching of "Father" Harris Harding and on Apr. 20, 1856, he 
 and his wife Louisa were baptized, in the river near the mill-dam, by 
 Rev. A. Martell and united with the South Yarmouth Church at Cen-

 own ideas of life, but ever seeking to keep a heart void of offence 
 toward God and man. Requiescat in pace.

 (203), and others. In 1850, he went to Yarmouth and 
 entered the employ of W. H. Townsend. He subsequently 
 went one voyage to sea, but meeting with an accident by 
 which his shoulder and hip were dislocated, he returned to 
 Yarmouth, and there formed a partnership with Messrs. 
 Dennis & Gray and carried on an extensive dry goods busi- 
 ness under the firm name of Dennis, Doane & Gray. Some 
 years later they went into the shipping business, and at one 
 time they owned and managed thirteen large ships. The 
 firm of Dennis & Doane, shipowners, became widely known.

 mouth, and in 1881, Mr. Doane went to Lyons, Kan., where 
 for nine years he was proprietor of a flour mill. In 1890,

 423 WARREN SMITH 7 DOANE (Josiah, 6 Samuel O., 5 Edmund, 4 
 Israel, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) was born at Barrington, N. S., June 16, 
 1815 and died there Jan. 31 , 1893. He married in Aug., 1840, Sarah 
 Wilson Homer, who was born at Barrington, 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 1839, 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 down in Barrington. He was a 
 member of the Methodist church at Barrington and highly esteemed 
 in the community.

 sage from P. E. Island to a port in the United States. He married, 
 perhaps in Australia, Mary McGuire, who was born in England and 
 died at the Massachusetts General Hospital, from the effects of a sur- 
 gical operation, Aug. 5, 1887 (buried in Forest Dale cemetery, Mai- 
 den, Mass.). Mr. Doane served three years on board the TJ. S. ship 
 Levant. He became a master mariner, and sailed vessels from U. S. 
 ports for several years. He sailed out of Halifax, N. S., in command 
 of the brigantine Ariel, owned by Salter & Twining of Halifax and 
 Warren Doane (423) of Barrington. After his death liis widow went 
 to Charlotte town, P. E. Island, where she kept a small store, thence 
 to Cape Breton, where she married, second, Batholomew Musgrave, a 
 widower of North Sydney. She went to Massachusetts about 1886, 
 and kept house with her two youngest children, at Maplewood.

 429 HOWARD PAYNE 7 DOANE (Benjamin, 6 Edmund, 5 Ed- 
 mund, 4 Israel, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) was born at Barrington, N. S., Oct. 
 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

 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 WILLIAM 7 DOANE (Daniel, 6 Daniel, 5 Daniel, 4 Daniel, 3 
 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) was born at Byberry, Philadelphia Co., Pa., 1799, 
 4, 20, died at Troy, Athens Co., O., 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 an 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.

 til the close of the war, dying at Marion, Ind., soon after 
 his return home. He was buried at Marion where a large 
 monument marks his resting place. With his cousins Col.

 pointment as surgeon in Civil war ; was an honorary mem-

 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) was born in Blount Co., Tenn., 1795, 5, 31 and died 
 at Westfield, Ind., 1860, 12, 11. He married, 1825, 12, 21, Eunice 
 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 then- 
 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."

 at Independence, Iowa, 1890, 11,6. He married first, about 1822, 
 Miss Sarah Paschal, who died in the spring of 1829. Married, sec- 
 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." 
 
 Children, of first marriage :

 b. Apr. 12, 1816, dau. of David and Hannah McKee. Mr. 
 Doane moved with his parents to Morgan Co., Ind., in fall 
 of 1830, thence to Richland, Iowa, in autumn of 1854. In 
 spring of 1856 he removed to Homer, la., thence to Webster 
 City in 1864. In 1863 Mr. Doane was appointed County 
 Judge of Hamilton Co., la., and served in all six and one 
 half years. He has served his county as auditor, recorder 
 and supervisor. In 1875 he was a candidate of the " Liberal 
 Democracy" for State Superintendent of Public Instruc- 
 tion, but was defeated by Republican majority. In 1882 he 
 was the nominee of the National Greenback party for Con- 
 gress. In 1879 and 1880 he was mayor of Webster City- 
 He became a member of the K. of L. in 1882 and has ever 
 since been a zealous advocate of its aims and objects. He

 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., Tenn., who was a 
 brother of my grandfather, and a writer of some local note, 
 had astutely detected the superfluity or utter nselessness 
 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 1854 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."

 May 27, 1799 and died at Burlington, N. J., Apr. 17, 1859. He mar- 
 ried in Boston, Mass., in 1829, Eliza 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, 1823, 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, England, in 1841. Bishop Doane received the de- 
 cree 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. Snlpice, 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. Monsignor Doane became 
 administrator of the diocese upon Bishop Corrigau's eleva- 
 tion to the Archiepiscopate and his transfer to New York 
 as coadjutor to Cardinal McCloskey. In 1890, Monsignor 
 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 Monsignor 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 which 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.

 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) was born on Lot No. 94, Yonge Street, near New- 
 market, Ontario, Canada, 1808, 11, 6 and died at Aurora, Ontario,

 who was bom at East Gwillimburg, Ontario, Nov. 3, 1809 and died 
 at Aurora, Jan. 8, 1902, the daughter of John J. and Mary Willson, 
 of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and Ontario.

 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 evening 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 shoeraaking supplementary to the farm- 
 ing experience he had acquired, and entered into partnership with his cousin 
 Mr. Elias Doane, 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-

 cannon which preceded the capitulation of York in 1812. He took an im- 
 portant part in the Rebellion of 1837 for which he spent Ave 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.

 The following extract is from a notice of Mr. Doan's death in the 
 
 Newmarket Era : 
 
 It is our paiiiful 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 with 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 Ebenezer Doan moved from Yonge street to a farm about one 
 mile north of Sharon where the subject of this sketch lived until his death. 
 Iu 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.

 the daughter of John and Mary (Woolman) Comfort of Falls town- 
 ship, Bucks Co. Moses Doaue was the only child of the outlaw 
 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 JOEL 7 DOANE (Jonathan, 6 Elijah, 5 Israel, 4 Daniel, 3

 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 GILLAM 7 DOANE (Jonathan, 6 Elijah, 5 Israel, 4 
 Daniel, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) was born 1811, 11, 7 and was hanged 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 their 
 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 Wm. 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 Doaue 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 erraves, 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 befoi-e 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.

 461 EDWARD TOPPING 7 DOANE (John, 6 Elisha, 5 Ephraim, 4 
 Hezekiah, 3 Ephraim, 2 John 1 ) was born at Tompkinsville, Staten 
 Island, May 30, 1820 and died at Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands, May 
 15, 1890. He married first, May 13, 1854, Sarah W. Wilbur, who 
 died at Honolulu, Feb. 16, 1862. Married second, Apr. 13, 1865, 
 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. Doane was arrested. The arrest was most 
 unexpected. While at work fifteen miles from Qua, the principal 
 mission station, he 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 cluug 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 before 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. Gulick, 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.

 men destined to be merchants. Later he settled in Boston, and be- 
 came one of the prominent and highly respected merchants in his 
 day. He owned and conducted a sugar refinery, situated on Gooch 
 street, leading out of Green street. He lived in a large house on

 472 ISAIAH 7 DOANE (Isaiah, 6 Elisha, 5 Elisha, 4 Hezekiah, 3 
 Ephraim, 2 John 1 ) 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. 
 Marvs, 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 U. 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 
 s l aves — a b y — 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.

 473 GEORGE BARTLETT 7 DOANE (Isaiah, 6 Elisha,s Elisha, 4 
 Hezekiah, 3 Ephraim, 2 John 1 ) was born in Boston, Mass., Dec. 4, 
 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 be 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 cry 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 an 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 months 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 clay 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 thein 
 
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 421 
 
 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 bonum 
 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 had 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 Neio 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.

 early life he went to Boston and learned the mason's trade, 
 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 Eugland R. R., but flually returned 
 to Cohasset, where, it is said, he was the most eccentric in- 
 dividual of the South Shore. Ch. : Clara Jane, m. Edward

 476 JAMES CUTLER 7 DOANE (Elisha, 6 Elisha, 5 Elisha, 4 Hez-

DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 423 
 
 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 Lincolu, 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 thelpoor, 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 aud domestic."

 until he entered the hardware store of William Greeuough 
 & Co., at 39 South Market street, Boston. Here he re-

 wholesale hardware business for himself in Philadelphia,

 keeping in touch with his relatives at Cohasset by yearly 
 visits to the salt -waters of Massachusetts Bay. He re-

 time before his father's death he returned to Cohasset, 
 ■where he spent his remaining years on the old homestead.

 1813 and was lost at sea in Aug., 1862, with his vessel the Prome-

 Feb. 2, 1840, by Rev. Win. Burton, Jane Doane, who was born at 
 Argyle, N. S., Mar. 29, 1814 and died at Barrington, Apr. 6, 1851

 487 BENJAMIN 7 DOANE (Nehemiah, 6 Thomas, 5 Thomas, 4 
 Thomas, 3 Ephraim, 2 John 1 ) was born at Barrington, N. S., Sept. 7, 
 1823. He married at Barrington, Mar. 18, 1852, Maria R. Knowles, 
 who died in Brooklyn, N. Y., July 23, 1864 (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 whaleship 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 
 bis 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 fm, 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. u 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 his 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 sure 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.

 491 LUCY ANN 8 DOANE (Seth B.,? Edward, 6 Noah, 5 Solomon, 4 
 Samuel, 3 John, 2 John 1 ) 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 John 1 ) 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

 Bourbon Co., Kan. There he purchased a tract of land and built a 
 home near Fort Scott. In Nov., 1889, he sold this place and re- 
 moved a few miles distant to his present home in the town of Ham-

 496 GEORGE WOOD 8 DOANE (Leonard, 7 Samuel, 6 Nehemiah, 5 
 Solomon, 4 Samuel, 3 John, 2 John 1 ) 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) Shaltuck 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 uote," 
 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 town. 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. Doane, 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 w r as 
 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."

 born at Colchester, Conn., the daughter of Seth and Laura Crocker. 
 Mr. Doane graduated at Wesleyan Academy, Wilbraham, Mass. ; 
 from Harvard Medical School in 1844, and began the practice of 
 medicine in Hyannis where he has become one of the most experienced 
 and best known physicians on the Cape. He is a member of the Mas- 
 sachusetts Medical Society, and of the Barnstable Medical Society of 
 which he is an ex-president. His years of experience and close study 
 have rendered his advice of great value to his medical brethren, and 
 his attendance is sought in consultation in his own and neighboring 
 towns. — Deyo's History of Barnstable County.

 500 THOMAS 8 DOANE (John, 7 Timothy, 6 John, 5 Simeon, 4 Sam- 
 uel, 3 John, 2 John 1 ) was born at Orleans, Mass., Sept. 20, 1821 and 
 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 Banister'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 tunnel, 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 tunnel 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 shortly 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 institutiou 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 connectious. 
 
 For many years Mr. Doane's figure going to and from his office 
 
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 447 
 
 was a familiar one on the streets of Cbarlestown. 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 WESLEY 8 DOANE (Joel, 7 Uriah, 6 Benjamin, 5 Sim- 
 eon, 4 Samuel, 3 John, 2 John 1 ) was born at Thompson, Conn., Mar. 
 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

 506 CHARLES RUSSELL 8 DOANE (Russell, 7 Myrick, 6 Isaiah, 5 
 Simeon, 4 Samuel, 3 John, 2 John 1 ) 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 Are, upon which the entire force of the artillery directed their 
 shots at one point, Lieut. Morris tiring 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 Rebel battery was observed trying to get into posi- 
 tion in the front, but the storm of shot and shell struck down the men and 
 horses and completely disabled their guns. Lieut. Doane seeing so many of 
 his men go down before the lire of the sharp-shooters posted in trees, threw 
 oil* 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."

 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 exceedingly 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 
 l»te 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.

 512 GEORGE WILLIAM 8 DOANE (Guy William, 7 William, 6 
 Prince, 5 Prince, 4 Israel, 3 Daniel, 2 John 1 ) was born at Circleville, O., 
 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, 0. 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 in 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 
 foremost of the Bar in the state. As a citizen, Mr. Doane is one of 
 the best which any community can furnish — honest, honorable, just, 
 liberal and of unblemished character, always on the side of good 
 morals and of private and public rectitude. Of their seven children 
 the following survive.

 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 
 Buckman 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 1880, 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 j 
 representing much study and labor, has been of great value

 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 ai'riving 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 in 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 tim e 
 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 HARVEY 8 DOANE (Harvey, 7 Nehemiah, 6 Thomas, 5 
 Thomas, 4 Thomas, 3 Ephraim,- John 1 ) 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 Ckarlottetown. 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, Yarmoxdli, the South Shore line 
 was amalgamated with v 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., 
 in 1855 and ever afterward continued in good standing in the 
 order, being a prominent member of Philadelphia Lodge at Barring- 
 ton. He and his family attended the Presbyterian church. As is 
 implied by the responsible positions he occupied, Capt. Harvey 
 Doane was a man of sound judgment, of more than average busi- 
 ness ability, of wide experience and of a remarkable record as a 
 
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 475 
 
 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.

NINTH GENERATION. 
 
 533 LEWIS 9 SCOTT (Lucy Ann 8 Doane, Seth B.,? Edward, 6 
 Noah, 5 Solomon, 4 Samuel, 3 John,- John 1 ) 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 teachings, and in his busy and peaceful life 
 he and his estimable wife live to do good to their fellowmeu. 
 
 534 GEORGE WASHINGTON 9 SCOTT (Lucy Ann s Doane,

 born in Glasford, 111., Jan. 20, 1863. He married at Kansas City, 
 Mo., Dec. 31, 1885, Margaret McAvoy. Mr. Scott was the ninth

478 THE DOANE FAMILY. 
 
 child of Shadrach L. and Lucy Ann (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 money 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

 Falls and the Battle Fields of the South ; attended the World's Fair, 
 etc., while attending to his various business interests. For the past 
 ten years he has been a successful teacher of public schools, his 
 schools having been awarded the highest honors and first prizes, and 
 also the annual scholarships offered by the Board of Supervisors to 
 the best scholars in the common schools, which scholarship entitles 
 the possessor to free tuition in the Bradley Polytechnic Institute. In 
 politics Mr. Scott is a Democrat. He has two sons, Ralph and 
 Harry. 
 
 535 MINERVA 9 PARKER (Amanda M. 8 Doane, SethB., 7 Ed- 
 ward, 6 Noah, 5 Solomon, 4 Samuel, 3 John, 2 John 1 ) was born at Chi- 
 cago, 111., May 14, 1861. She married at Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 22, 
 1891, Rev. William I. Nichuls, 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 field 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 A-Vilmiugton, 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. Mrs. 
 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 HOWARDS DOANE (Joseph Howes, 8 John, 7 
 Joseph, 6 Joseph, 5 Elisha, 4 Hezekiah, 3 Ephraim, 2 John 1 ) was born at 
 Preston, Conn., Feb. 3, 1832. He married Nov. 2, 1857, Frances 
 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 
 31

 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 Honor, 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 and played upon in 
 the church. In the years of 1848-9, he led the choir of the Baptist 
 church in Voluntown, 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 
 1867, 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. H. Doane. Upon opening it he 
 found the hymn, "More like Jesus," and the following note: 
 
 Mr. Doane : I 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. Doane 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 Sxmbeams 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 Anthems, Tidal 
 Wave, Brightest and Best, Welcome Tidings, Glad Hosannas, Foun- 
 tain of Song, Glad Refrain, Joyful Lays, Bright Array, 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, Immanuel, 
 Frost Queen and Santa Glaus, 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. His

 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 Herculaueum, 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 
 
DESCENDANTS OF DEA. JOHN DOANE. 487 
 
 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. In 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.

 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

 born in 1817 and died near Chicago, 111., July 25, 1855 (buried in 
 cemetery of Presbyterian church, Princess Aun) . 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.

 in New 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 
 who knew him ; no ch.

 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 he 
 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."

 THOMAS DONE. The following is copied from Journals of New 
 York Provincial Congress, vol. r, 1775-6-7, pp. 949, 950 : [May 31, 
 1777]. The petition of Thomas Done, to wit: 
 
 " To the Honorable The Council of Safety of the State of New York. 
 
 " The petition of Thomas Done humbly sheweth : That in January in the 
 year 1775, your petitioner enlisted in the Massachusetts Bay levies, which 
 inarched to the relief of our troops before Quebec ; that at the expiration of 
 the time he so enlisted (to wit) the 15th of April following, your petitioner 
 engaged iu the service of this State ; and entered into Capt. Lamb's com- 
 pany of artillery, then commanded by Capt. Lieut. Wool; that while your pe- 
 titioner belonged to the said company (to wit) on the first day of May, as 
 he was on duty at a two-gun battery near Charles River, he was wounded by 
 the bursting of oue of our own cannon, and thereby totally lost his sight, be- 
 sides being otherwise greatly injured; that on the Gth of May your petitioner 
 was taken prisoner and remained iu captivity until last fall, when he was 
 with the other prisoners sent by Genl. Carlton to Elizabeth Town; that your

 petitioner soon after applied to the Honorable John Hancock, President of 
 the Congress, for relief, who directed your petitioner to repair to where he 
 first entered unto the service of these States ; that accordingly your peti- 
 tioner went to Alfred in the Massachusetts Bay State, where the committee 
 refused to make any provision for him, insisting that your petitioner ought 
 to be provided for by that State iu whose immediate service he was at the 
 time he received his wounds. 
 
 " Your petitioner therefore humbly begs leave to lay his case before this 
 Honorable House, praying that they will grant him such relief as they in 
 their wisdom shall see tit. And your petitioner as in duty bound shall ever 
 
 pray, 
 
 " Thomas Done." 
 
 Kingstone, May 30, 1777. The examination of Thomas Done: 
 
 Says he was born at Sheffield, in Yorkshire iu 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 days 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 ("apt. Lamb, in 
 which service he lost his sight as mentioned in his petition." Resolved, 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. 
 
 WILLIAM BADGER DOANE (son of Win. and Sarai (Badger)

 Shropshire, Eng.) was born at Shrewsbury, Nov. 1, 1862. He mar- 
 ried Martha Riley and resides in East Boston, Mass. He went to sea 
 when seventeen years old and made fifty voyages on S. S. Kansas, 
 between Liverpool and Boston.

 Rev. Samuel Osborn and some of his Descendants. 
 
 1 SAMUEL 1 OSBORN was born probably about 1685. Accounts 
 of his birthplace and place of education are conflicting. The Rev. 
 
APPENDIX. 499 
 
 James Freeman, who made a little investigation as to bis life, says, 
 "he was born in Ireland and educated in the University of Dublin." 
 Israel Doaue, 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 and 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 Newry, 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 for 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 Kenelrn Winslow which bears date Jan. 
 17, 1712-13. In the Harwich records his name appears as "Asbon." 
 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

 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 county, 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 
 Avondered 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

 steps, and walk in that way, which may attain those Ends. Amen. I am 
 
 Sir, 
 
 Your Friend 
 
 Sandwich, Rowland Cotton. 
 
 May 8 th , 1718. 
 
 Sometime after this Mr. Cotton sent for Mr. ( )sborn to go to Sand- 
 wich to preach before the ministers, which Accordingly he 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 Unchaugable seeing that it was in Time that^He became 
 a Creator, Preserver, &c? 
 
 (3) Why was Man's Punishment that he 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 what Account was Christ's active obedience necessary? 
 
 (8) What influence has Faith to our Justification? 
 
 (9) 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 God threaten 
 his People for their sins ! 
 
 After about seven months' trial and experience of Mr. Osborn'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 on 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 at 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 
 
, r )02 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 Affairs : Also 
 looking on him not qualified for the Work of the Ministry according to what 
 hath been signified to our Church by the Reverend Elders at an Association 
 Meeting of theirs at Barnstable, April 9, 1718, do therefore publicity 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

 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 
 "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 the 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 Antinomian 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 Means 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, vrith 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 Antiuomian 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 own 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 Column, 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 
 
APPENDIX. 505 
 
 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 Complaint of Mr. Samuel Osborn, 
 Late of Eastham, a pamphlet of 29 pages, was printed in Boston in 
 1743. A copy has been preserved in the Boston Public Library.

 a number of large vessels at one time in company with his 
 brother Benjamin. He was one of the "Sous of Liberty," 
 an association of patriotic gentlemen, formed in Boston, 
 abt. 1768. In July, 1775, he removed with his family from 
 Boston to Barrington, where he purchased the property of 
 his brother-in-law Edmund Doane (see p. 76), carried on a 
 general store and kept a tavern at Barrington Head. He 
 became a magistrate and filled various town offices. The 
 first records of births, marriages and deaths of Barrington 
 are in his handwriting. By his first marriage there were 
 eight children, of whom Abigail, b. at Boston, Aug. 21, 
 1753, Mary, Francis and two others d. in infancy. The

 ? Samuel. 2 Perhaps no such child. Israel Doane, Sen., of Ar- 
 gyle, N. S., in his list of his grandfather Osborn's children, 
 gives two sons, John and Samuel, and adds: "They both 
 settled in Connecticut. John was a skillful doctor, and 
 Samuel I believe was a school teacher." 
 
 2 JOHN 2 OSBORN (Rev. Samuel 1 ) was bom about 1713 (bap- 
 tized at Sandwich, Mass., 17M) and died at Middletown, Conn., 
 May 31, 1753, aged about 40 years. He married Ann, daughter of 
 Thomas and Patience (Mulford) Doane of Chatham, Mass. (see page 
 59), who was born about 1715 and died Apr. 16, 1791, aged 7G 
 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 well 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 fine 
 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 whicli can be found in Barber's Historical Collections 
 of Connecticut and in Ricketson's History 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 face, 
 
 The chirping birds, 
 
 Nor lowing herds, 
 
 The woody hills, 
 
 Nor murmuring rills, 
 
 The Sylvan shades, 
 
 Nor flowering meads, 
 Tome their former joys dispense, 
 Tho' all their pleasures court my sense 
 But melancholy damps my mind ; 
 I 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 he wrote the letter, lie was buried in what is now the 
 River Side burial-ground, where a monument marks his grave.

 The estate of " Wm. Myrick, mariner, lately deceased," was admin- 
 istered upon by his widow, Elizabeth, Dec. 28, 1742 ; the Inventory,

 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

 acter, and doubtless inherited something of the Osborn 
 talent. By an accident at sea he lost his left hand, and later 
 his arm by amputation. He became a school-teacher in 
 Orleans. I subjoin a copy of his letter* written to Samuel 
 Osborn Doane, his father's half-brother at Barringtou, N.S.

 Dear Sir: 
 
 By Capt. Barrows, bound to Nova Scotia, who promised to forward a letter, I gladly 
 embrace the opportunity to write to you, wishing these may find you and your family in 
 perfect health. Capt. Harrows has informed me of a breach in your family which very 
 much concerns me to hear of. I had the pleasing idea that vour son would make a man 
 of extraordinary talents; having as I thought the most lively genius that ever I knew. 
 Alas! How are our expectations cut off. I flnd.by experience that we ought not 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 say that in March, 17U9, being on a paBSage 
 from Boston to Gibraltar, by an accident on board, ten days before our arrival to that, 
 place, 1 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- 
 ful 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 ho knows this opportunity. Since my return home I have been employed by Mr. 
 Eben Parsons— and I should be vei-y 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,

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. 513 
 
 in his vocation as teacher. In 1784, he took charge of the Clinton 
 Academy just then erected mainly through the efforts of Dr. Buell 
 aud 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 and 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, aud 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, K. 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. 
 Mr 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 he 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 mo6t 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 fi-om 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 3j 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.
