Name: John DOANE Sex: M Birth: 1591 in Utleington Hall,England 1 Death: 21 FEB 1685/1686 in MA 1 IDNO: AFN:B58F-K7 Occupation: Deacon in Plymouth Church 1 Note: [Donames.ged] (Extracted from Plymouth Colony, Its History & People 1620-1691 byEugene Aubrey Stratton, p282-283.) John Doane was born ca. 1590 (he called himself aged abouteighty-eight in his will, dated 16 may 1678, given below). He arrived at Plymouth probably between 1628 and 1632. There is no record of him being atLeiden, but he served as a deacon in the Plymouth Church. He was an Assistantin 1632/33, but he was "freed from the office" on 2 January 1633/34 sothat he could devote his full time to his church functions. He still served on various government committees, including the one that revised thelaws in 1636 he shared an allotment of hay ground with the widow Ellen Billington, and this might have led to his suing her the same year for L100 for slander; she was sentenced to pay him L5 and to sit in the stocks and be whipped (PCR 1:40-42). He was usually given thehonorific title "Mr.," and in one document he referred to himself as "Gent., Tayler" (Dawes-Gates, 2:305). He had business connections with Mr.John Atwood, though the exact relationship is unclear. He acted as Atwood's agent in obtaining the indenture of Walter Harris as a servant in1633, and in 1636 Atwood bought Doane's share of a house and land at Plain dealing which they had held in partnership (PCR 1:12,47). Doane was granted a license to sell wine in 1639, and in 1640 he was presentedfor selling wine contrary to the court's order, though this apparently wasa misunderstanding, and the charges were dropped (PCR 1:127,156). He was one of the men appointed to buy land at Nauset from the Indians, andhe became one of the first settlers there (PCR 2:144,154,168). His earliest known wife was called Ann in a 1648 deed, but in a later deed (of 1659) his wife was Lydia (Dawes-Gates 2:304; MD 13:232). His inventory in 1686 was sworn to by an Abigail Doane, whom some havetaken as a third wife, though Dawes-Gates 2:305 has good arguments to showthat Abigail was more likely his daughter. Torrey suggests that wife Annmight have been a Perkins. In his will dated 18 May 1678, inventory taken 21 May 1686 and sworn to by Abigail Doane 29 May 1686, he named his"loving wife," daughter Abigail, sons John, Daniel, and Ephraim, andgranddaughter Margaret Hicks, and he left the remainder of his estate to "all hissons and daughters" (MD 3:177). He described himself in the will as "aged eighty and eight or there about," and in the inventory he was said tohave died 21 February 1685/86, "aged about a hundred years" - thus in eight years he had aged twelve years, which is a typical overstating thecentury mark. His daughter Lydia married Samuel Hicks; Abigail married Samuel Lothrop (in 1690 - she was unmarried in 1686 when Doane's will wassworn to); son John married (1) Hannah Bangs and (2) Rebecca Pettee; Daniel married (1) unknown and (2) Hepsibah (Cole) Crispe; and Ephraimmarried (1) Mercy Knowles and (2) Mary (Smalley) Snow (Dawes-Gates 2:302 gives good reason for believing that John Doane's ward, Joseph Harding, was Doane's nephew, and Joseph's mother, the widow Martha Harding, wasDoane's sister. In addition to the account in Dawes-Gates 2:299-313, anothergood account of what is known of his life and family is given in MooreFamilies, p. 233-43.
