110 EDWARD 5 DOANE (Ebenezer, 4 Ebenezer, 3 Ephraim, 2 John 1 ) was born, probably, at Cape Elizabeth, Me., about 1741 and died there after 1817. He married first, Apr. 3(orOct. 21), 1762, Anna Westcott. Married second, at Cape Elizabeth, Nov. 21, 1766, Sarah McDougle, who died at Durham, Me., about 1817. Mr. Doane was a farmer and lived on Cape Elizabeth, in that section known as Long Creek and near the Long Creek bridge. On Sept. 10, 1810, he deeded his farm at Cape Elizabeth to his son Charles, for the care and support of himself and wife, during their declining years. In the summer of 1817 they visited their son, Richard, at Durham, where his wife, Sarah, died. She was buried there in the Trufant burial-ground, about one-half mile from their son's farm. After her death he again sought his old home at Cape Elizabeth, but lived only a few days after his return.

Edward Doane was in Captain Skillings Co., against the Indians and was a soldier in the French and in the Revolutionary wars. He was a private in Capt. John Libbie's Co., Col. Jedediah Preble's Regt., from Apr. 8 to Nov. 18, probably, 1758; wages £1.1 6 8 per month. His name appears on a Billeting Roll, sworn to at Boston, Feb. 12, 1759 and rendered by Josiah Smith of Weston, for billeting men coming from service in 1758, Captain Libbie's Co. He was a private in Captain George Berry's Co., from Apr. 1 to July 16, 1759; also private in Capt. Jonathan Carver's Co., at Crown Point, from July 8 to Dec. 10, 1761. He was a private in Capt. David Strout's (seacoast) Co., July 15 to Dec. 31, 1775, at Cape Elizabeth and Scarborough ; also in Capt. Benjamin Hooper's (seacoast) Co., Jan. 29 to Nov. 24, 1776, stationed at Falmouth.

Notes:

From The Doane Family: Alfred Alder Doane
EBENEZER« DOANE (Ebenezer,» Ephraim,3 John») was born at Triiro, Mass., Aug. 22, 1706 and was baptized there by Rev. John Avery, Sept. 13, 1713. He married Elizabeth Skillings, who was born Apr. 25,1713, the daughter of Samuel3 and Aroda (Haley) Skillings (John,9 Thomas1) of Kittery, and Falmouth, Me. Mr. Doane went to Falmouth perhaps as early as the spring of 1739, when seven or eight families, among whom were the principal inhabitants, removed from Provincetown to Casco Bay. He was probably a seafaring man. They settled at Long Creek, Cape Elizabeth. After the death of her husband, of which we have no record, Mrs. Doane went to live with her daughter, Joanna Berry, at Buckfield, where she died very aged. But little can be learned of Ebenezer Doane. The probate records were burned in the Portland fire. I copy the history of this family from the Maine Genealogical Recorder. The births of their children are not recorded on the town or church records of Cape Elizabeth, but the following list is made up from reliable sources.

Ebenezer married Skillings, Elizabeth on 25 Apr 1743. Elizabeth (daughter of Skillings, Samuel and Haley, Rhoda) was born on 25 Apr 1713 in Truro, Barnstable Co., MA or Falmouth, ME; died in Buckfield, Oxford Co., ME. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
