Biography

[Note: The maiden name of his mother Frances, is sometimes listed as possibly Rowley, but is unconfirmed. ]

[Note: As there were 3 generations of John Danes in the area at this time, it is difficult to identify John I, John II and John III in town service, as some dates overlap and their being of age. Occasionally identification as to Jr. or Sr. is noted in records. However, most noted in this profile, would relate to John II, as John I deceased in 1658 and John III would not likely been of age to be appointed in the time frame.]

John Dane Jr. was baptized about 1613 in Little Barkhamstead, Herts, England, [1] son of John Dane Sr., born at Barkhamstead, England, about 1587; died in Roxbury, Massachusetts where he was buried Sept . 14,1658 and Frances (?Rowley), who came to America with him. There is some doubt about the maiden name of his first wife.[2] [3]

His parents were strict and serious, following the teachings of Rev. John Norton. At the age of about 16 to18 , John ran away from home, as his father had disciplined him for going to dancing school. [3] Having learned the tailoring trade from his father, he was able to find employment at Barkhemstead. [3] [1]

He then was apprenticed to Mr. Tidd of Hertford, but once qualified, he admitted to 'considerable restlessness' in his early twenties. [1]

He considered traveling to St. Christopher's or the West Indies, but as the Spaniard's had captured the islands in 1629, he remained in England, and then was a butler for Robert Barrington, placed there by Rev. John Norton. [3] [1]

He married Eleanor Clarke, and in practicing his trade as tailor in Hatfield, where there was a recession, the established tailors in that town attempted to drive out the newcomer. [1] [2]

John Dane Jr. was the first of his family to come to America, though his parents followed soon after. [2] [3]

He emigrated first to Roxbury, then to Ipswich in 1636, following his religious mentor Rev. Norton. His trade as a tailor was competitive in Ipswich and he styled himself a surgeon and called himself as such in his will. [1] [3]

  • 1635/6: February 22: An entry in the Barrington household record of Hatfield, Broad Oak, Essex, England, shows the sum of 00-05-00, given to John Dane for his 'goeing to Newe England'. [4]

  • 1676: Dec. 4: John Dane testifying to being about 64 years, gave a deposition in the case of Daniel Hovey v. John Lee. [10]

After the death of his wife Eleanor, Dr. John Dane Jr. married secondly Alice (Dutch) Newman, daughter of Osgood Dutch and widow of John Newman. [11]

John Newman died in Nov., 1673. On March 31, 1674, relict Alice Newman was granted administration of his estate which was divided between the widow and a brother and sister of John, but no children are mentioned. [11]

On March 29, 1676, a legal suit against Richard Lee, for debts owed was won by John Davis, represented John Dane and his wife Alice, administratrix of the Newman estate, so their marriage occurred between March, 1674 and March, 1676.[11]

Dr. John Dane, the chirurgeon, died Sept. 29, 1684. [12][13] In his will written on May 31, 1684, he names:

  • his wife Alice
  • sons John and Philemon

After the decease of John Dane, Alice married Jeremiah Meacham of Salem, Massachusetts, by about 1685 [11] and died before May 4, 1704. [15]

John Dane is the author of one of the earliest surviving chronicles of New England colonial life, "A Declaration of Remarkable Providences in the Course of My Life". [16]

Would someone please add PGM to his father John Sr. who arrived after this son, but was granted land in Ipswich in 1639. Father is https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Dane-3

Thanks

Dane-173 Kyle Dane
Dane-106 and Dane-11 appear to represent the same person because: I'm pretty sure these two are referring to the same person. From what I've read, "Dr" is appropriate because he was referred to with that title, but I don't know that he had formal medical training, so "MD" is probably not right. I haven't seen any reference to support the parentage of John Dane the father, either, but I think that can be dealt with on his profile
