Biography

John Doane performed Patriotic Service in North Carolina in the American Revolution.

John Doane is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A212713.

John Doane, the son of Joseph Doane and Mary Carter, was born 11 : 30 : 1732 (Old Style Calendar) at Wrightstown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, ^[1] Hinshaw's record identified 11 : 30 : 1732 as John Doane's birthdate. [As March was the first month of the year at that time, his birthdate 11 : 30 : 1732 would be January 30, 1732, in the eleventh month of the year. In an attempt to make a clear conversion between the Old Style Date and New Style, a link to a Conversion website was used. Use of the website was confusing because you had to input the information using the name of the month. 1/30/1732 Old Style corresponds with 2/10/1732 New Style. November 30, 1732 Old Style corresponds to 2/10/1732 New Style: 11 : 30 : 1732 converts to December 11, 1732. This conversion is not clear to me. I hope someone can illuminate the change.--Allen Brown]

John Doane died March 6, 1811 at Cane Creek, North Carolina. "He married, first, sometime between November 6, 1752 and February 3, 1753, Hannah Davis. Married, second, at the Cane Creek Meeting, December 4, 1756, Ruth Dixon. Married third, 1768, Elizabeth Stewart, who was born January 19, 1730, and died March 31, 1816 (buried at Cane Creek), the widow of Alexander Stewart and daughter of John and Abigail Pike of Frederick Co., Va. On the death of his mother between 1740 and 1744, Mr. Doane appears to have been placed under the care of some relatives or friends. At the age of twenty-one years he took a certificate dated November 6, 1752, from the Buckingham Meeting which was read, and he was accepted into membership at the Cane Creek meeting, February 3, 1753. There is proof that between the time of obtaining his certificate and producing it at Cane Creek he was married to his first wife."^[2]
