Subject: [Q-R] Doane, Snow
Date: Sat, 1 Jan 2000 08:01:44 -0800


Good morning everyone... we survived midnight... my computer says 1/1/00
and all is well... at least it is working... we have lights... we have
water... and I have my "Jeannie" which I have named my computer...and won't
have to go grocery shoping for a few days!

Daniel DOANE and Constance SNOW were my 9th gr grandparents..

Now... this is what I have on Constance SNOW..

If any of you have the NEHGS discs, look on disk #7 vol 127, April 1973 page
102.

"The authority for naming Constant SNOW as the first wife of Daniel DOANE
appers to be a notebook on Eastham families kept by Josiah PAINE, for half a
century the town clerk of Harwich. The notebook is now in the possession of
the Eastham Public Library.
Mr. PAINE did not cite the sources of his information unless it came from
individuals, so it may be assumeed that he found some evidence for his
statement; however no one had discovered where he found it. It should be
noted that the MAYFLOWER SOCIETY doesn NOT accept lines of descent throught
the first wife of Daniel DOANE.."

For some reason the marriage of Daniel and Constance and their children were
not recorded in the Eastham, Barnstable Massachusetts records.

Again, see the NEHGS disc's vol 47, January 1893 page 83..

In talking about Nicholas SNOW and Constance HOPKINS.. there are 13 children
of this couple, with only 12 named.. one is un-named. That would have to be
our Constance.. [my thinking or wishing as you may say] Nicholas SNOW and
John DOANE are among the first at Eastham. Nicholas does not mention his
daughters in his will... which can be found in the above vol 47 page 85.

In the "Cape Cod Library" by Leonard H. SMITH jr vol 1 p806-809 under
Deacon John DOANE..as you can see he was mixed up when he says on page 808
2nd column:

"Daniel 2d son of Deacon John married Hepsabeth COLE and had Constant, the
only child found recorded to them. He was a physician and resided in this
vicinity."

He didn't know about his first wife and the 9 children they had..
all born Eastham, Barnstble, Massachusetts: The children were found in the
DOANE family reprinted 1984 p30.. I had it on a loan from NEHGS.

1. an un-named son DOANE b abt 1665 died Sep 1667

2. Joseph DOANE b 1668/1669 d 1757 Eastham, md 8 jan 1690 at Eastham to Mary
GODFREY


3. Constance DOANE b 7 mar 1670 md 8 Jan 1690 to Geroge SHAW, [same day as
her brother and Mary GODFREY..]

4. Israle DOANE abt 1672

8th gr gp
5. Daniel DOANE b 1673/4 d 1 Sep 1743 md 1686 at Eastham, to Mehitable 3)
TWINING [Mehitable 3, Wm 2, Wm 1 TWINING]

6. Abigail DOANE b c 1675, ch 1680 d July 1764 Windham, Windham,
Connecticut.. md Feb 1702 at Mansfield, Tolland, Connecticut to Timothy 3)
DIMMOCK. [Timothy 3, Shubael 2,
Edward 1) DIMMOCK..

The Dimmock now spelled Dimick line is one of my direct lines, Timothy the
husband of Abigail was my 7th great grand uncle.. and Abigail was my 8th
great grand aunt.

7. Nathaniel DOANE b c 1678

8. Rebecca DOANE b c 1680

9. Ruth DOANE b c 1689 d bef 15 mar 1772 at Eastham, md 13 July 1710 at
Eastham to Nathaniel MAYO.


Then looking further I have found this... NEHGS vol 127 p 102 under the
GODFREYS of Chatham, Massachusetts ".... to the erroneous statement in the
first installement of the above article that Joseph DOANE , husband of Mary
2 GODFREY (George 1),
was a son of Hepzibah (COLE) (CRISP) DOANE (The Register 126:236). The
mother of Joseph DOANE, son of Daniel, was Daniel's first wife, identity
uncertain but presumed to have been Constance or Constant, daughter of
Nicholas and Constance [HOPKINS] SNOW. Daniel DOANE did not marry Hepisbah
(COLE) CRISP until after 28 July 1682, when her fist husband George CRISP,
died. Geroge CRISP named her in his wil and made her exectrix asking his
brother Israel COLE and his neighbor, Goodman Daniel DOANE, "to be helpful
to my wife as overseers." She was living 9 oct 1712 when Daniel DOANE
called her "loving wife Hepsibah" in his will [see A.A. DOANE, The Doane
Family 1802 pp 26-30.

It goes on to say what I have typed above about the authority for naming
Constant SNOW as the first wife of Daniel DOANE..........

Still working on this line and hoping there will be more proof found that
Constance SNOW was indeed the d/o Nicholas and Constance (HOPKINS) SNOW.
