Family

https://minerdescent.com/2010/05/26/william-twining/

William Twining was born 20 May 1599 in England. (Either in Berkhamstead in Suffolk or Painswick in Gloucester.) His parents were William TWENYNGE and Mabel NEWCOMBE. However, reliable information is wanting; family tradition almost uniformly asserts that he came from Wales. Another story is that he came from Yorkshire, England, and one, an aged spinster living in the vicinity of Eastham, speaks of a “taint of French blood.

The name of his first wife is not known. She probably was still living in 1641 when Isabel was married.

William was in Yarmouth on Cape Cod by 1641, soldier in 1645, removed to Eastham by 1651 when he was the constable. He married his second wife Anne Doane in 1652 in Eastham, Plymouth Colony. William died 15 Apr 1659 in Eastham, Plymouth Colony.

Anne Doane was born 17 Aug 1600 in Manchester, Lancashire, England. Her parents were John Doane and Lydia [__?__] of Devonshire. She was probably a sister of Deacon John Doane (Wikipedia), who was born 1590, came from Wales to Plymouth Colony in 1630, one of the founders of Eastham and assistant of Governor Thomas PRENCE in 1633. (See discussion below) Anne died 27 Feb 1680 in Yarmouth.
