Notes

!Death: Doane, Gilbert H., "Searching for your Ancestors: The How and Why of Genealogy", Minn.Press, Minneaplois, 3rd edition, 1960, p.45. !Wife: Doane, Gilber H., page 48. The following is quoted from that source: "...Since Abigail Doane certified to the truthfulness of the inventory of his estate in 1686, it has been assumed that she was his widow and the mother of his children. Now Mr. [A.A.] Doane very carefully printed a verbatim copy of a deed, dated in 1681, in which John Doane conveyed this same dwelling house and "upland and meadow" about it to his daughter Abigail. Obviously his wife had died between 18 May 1678, the date of his will, and 2 December 1681, the date of this deed. Hence, the Abigail Doane who certified the inventory must have been his daughter, to whom he had deeded the house originally intended for his widow if she survived him. Later research by another genealogist indicates that Deacon John Doane had a wife named Ann in 1648, who was dead before 1659 when he and his wife Lydia conveyed some land in Eastham (see Mary Walton Ferris's "The Dawes-Gates Ancestrial Lines" [Chicago, 1931-43], Vol. 2, pp. 304-5)." [Freeman 1:173] reports he moved from Plymouth to Nauset about 1644. [Freeman 1:206-7]: Apr 1, 1653 -- sent by town of Eastham as deputy to represent town and meet magistrates. Met Apr 6, 1653 with other delegates from the colony "to agree on military affairs". [Freeman 1:258]: A grant to John Doane of 100 acres at Pottannumaguett Neck & 6 acres of meadow, in court case at Plymouth Oct 31, 1666 (arraignment of William Nickerson).
