Biography

" Elias Doan was born 16 May 1805, in Bucks County, Pa.,^[1] died 30 Oct. 1889^[2][3] of “old age”; 41 married, in 1829, Waite Ann Willson , daughter of Hugh L. and Mary Titus Willson, born 1810, died 3 Sept. 1898 (see below). 42 At one time or another, he was a farmer, merchant, tanner and shoemaker (once, in partnership with his cousin Charles Doan, son of John). By 1851, he owned a fifty acre farm on Lot 12, Conc. 3, of which 30 acres was cultivated. It had an assessed value of $1,000 in 1865. He seems to have given up farming after 1873, leaving the work to his son Austin. Elias was a member of the Children of Peace band; he played clarinet. The entire family quit the Children of Peace sometime after 1851; Elias became a Quaker, Waite Ann a Christian, and their children joined the Church of England. Both are buried in the Newmarket Cemetery. "^{[4][5][6][7][8]}
