Family

Married

1. John (?) Bryant (d before 1625 in Kent, England) by 1613 in Kent, England and had at least 3 children.
2. John Doane (c 1590- 1686) by 1630. John had five children. He survived Ann and married Lydia next.

Children of John Bryant

1. Mary Bryant
2. Thomas Bryant. (d abt 1632) On January 2, 1632, the following entry as found in the Plymouth court records: "Thomas Bryant, the servant of Samuel Eddy, was brought before the Governor, Mr. Will Bradford, Mr. John Doane, Steve Hopkins and Will Gilson, assistants, because the said Thomas had run away and absented himself five days from his master's service and being lost in the woods and found by an Indian was forced to return; and for his offense was privately whipped before the Governor and council as fore-mentioned.". Thomas disappears at this point from history's pages.

Biographical notes

From THE BRYANT FAMILY OF KENT CO., ENGLAND-PLYMOUTH, MASS.- BRYANT HILL, ELLICOTTVILLE, NY Researched by: Edna Bryant Cole of Erie, PA:

"This story begins in 1630 in Kent County, England, with a widow named Anne Bryant. Anne's husband had died, leaving her with three young boys: Thomas Bryant (?), Stephen Bryant and John Bryant. Among the family friends and neighbors was a lawyer, John Doane, a widower with a son also named John. The elder John offered to give Anne's three lads a chance in the New World if she would marry him and go there with him (?). John was a capable man, highly regarded, and his influence would give the three Bryant boys opportunities they otherwise would not find. So Anne consented. The six of them boarded a little ship known as the Handmaid, on August 10, 1630  and two months later, October 29, 1630, they landed in Plymouth Colony." ...

"... Following a practice common in those days, John and Anne bound out two of the Bryant boys to good friends. Thomas Bryant was bound out to Samuel Eddy, and Stephen Bryant to John Shaw. Offering boys financial opportunities and connections independent of, and supplementary to those, which their own parents could offer them as they grew up. The third Bryant boy, John, being the youngest, stayed with his mother and stepfather. "

Notes

The will of John Doane

In his will dated May 18, 1678, inventory taken May 21, 1686 and sworn by Abigail Doane May 29, 1686, he named his "loving wife," daughter Abigail, sons John, Daniel and Ephraim, and granddaughter Margaret Hicks, and left the remainder of his estate to "all my sons and daughters". He described himself in the will as "aged eighty and eight or there about" and in the inventory he was said to have died February 21, 1685/86, "aged about a hundred years" - a typical overstatement of age which occurred in those times.[6]

From "The Doane Family" vol. II by A.A. Doane et al..., p.1

Ann was probably the mother of John Doane's children and came with him from England.

She likely died between May 18, 1678 and Dec. 2, 1681

Last name is possibly "Perkins". Alternate first or middle name is "Abigail".

Comments

Note from Pam Wilson on June 16, 2014: There seems to be some confusion about her parentage. I've removed her as the daughter of John Perkins, Sr., of Ipswich.

Note from Erica Howton on June 18, 2014: Do not confuse her with Agnes Colbyson. There is no evidence they are same person. I've removed her as the daughter of Henry Perkins

John Doane 1st married Ann by 4 December 1648 (and by 1625 if she was the mother of his children) (signed a deed dated 4 December 1648. She died by 1659.

Their five children: Lydia Hicks, Abigail Lothrop, John, Daniel, & Ephriam. Source: Anderson's great Migration Study Project.
