Biography

Jacob Doane was born August 11, 1760 in Cane Creek, North Carolina and died July 15, 1850 in Hardinsburg, Indiana.^[1]

"He was a scout in the American Revolution and was disowned by Cane Creek Meeting of the Soc. of Friends for bearing arms.("1781, 6, 2. Jacob Doan dis repeatedly bearing arms & accompanying armed men to suppress robbery."^[2] He was restored to membership, June 2, 1792.^[3] In the 1790 U. S. Census of Hillsborough Dist., Chatham Co., N.C., he is listed as having one free white male under 17, and two free white females. We believe that he and his family left N.C. early in the 19th Century. They stayed briefly in Clinton Co., Ohio, but prior to 1871, most of the family moved on to Washington Co., Ind. His grave at Honey Creek, Wash. Co., Ind., where he was thought to be the first permanent settler in 1809, is described as "about one mile from Hardinsburgh, a rough stone marker". As a scout in the Federal Army in the Rev., it has been marked by the D.A.R. of New Albany, Ind. His wife, Hannah, is thought to have died in 1817. Jacob may have married a 2nd time in 1820 an Anna Culbertson but no wife survived him. Jacob d. without a will and his estate was divided among his surviving children and grandchildren." ^[4]
