The Doane family: 1. Deacon John Doane, of Plymouth, 2. Doctor John Done, of Maryland, and their descendants. With notes upon English families of the same name
Description: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 ancestors, 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 embodying 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 America, 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 family, is incorporated into this book.About the same time Alfred J. Doane (526), of Jersey City, became interested in the subject of the family history, and the account we have given of Israel Doane (235) and his descendants is the result of his extensive correspondence and persistent research among original records of Bucks and Chester counties, Pa.Beginning with its issue of June 9, 1885, the Doylestoivn Democrat of Doylestown, Pa., published a series of papers on the genealogy of the Pennsylvania branch of the family written by the late Dr. Buck-man of Philadelphia. On Dr. Buckman's death a year or two later, (vi)his genealogical papers passed into the possession of Mr. Alfred J. Doane, by whose courtesy they are herein reproduced, almost verbatim, in our history of the descendants of Daniel Doane (14) the Friend, of Cape Cod and Pennsylvania.For the data of the descendants of Timothy Doane (168) and of Nathaniel Doane (169) the reader is indebted to Col. O. J. Hodge of Cleveland, Ohio, and for the genealogy of the descendants of Capt. Edward Doane (117) we are indebted to George W. Scott (534), who has compiled the records of his maternal ancestors.We are fortunate indeed in having our notes on the English Family from the pen of Mrs. Sarah Cash of Delamere, Cheshire, England, a writer well known to the genealogical magazines of her county. Mrs. Cash's home is within the limits of the ancient Delamere Forest, of which for many hundreds of years the Dones were Chief Foresters, and during the past two years she has contributed, to Cheshire Notes and Queries, a series of highly interesting articles on the Dones of Utkinton.Beyond this special mention there are many other helpers whose invaluable and continued assistance is hereby acknowledged, and it is impossible to let this book go forth on its little mission, without expressiug my gratitude to those friends who have not only furnished their records, portraits, etc., but have contributed, unsolicited, of their means, to ease the burden of the preparation of this book—one of the many ways in which the harvest of their generous lives will be reaped by others.The following pages do not purport to be a full genealogy of the Doanes, but rather a record of apart of this numerous family.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
