Hart Family - Ourfolk

Daniel Dona's marriages are not recorded in Eastham records. His 1st
wife is believed by some genealogists to have been Constance Snow,
daughter of Nicholas and Constance Hopkins, but no documentary evidence
has been found. The assumption is based upon the names of two of his
children: Constant (a son) and Constance (a daughter). The Society of
Mayflower descendants has not accepted this assumption.

Gilbert H. Doane, Editor Emeritus of the Register has called our
attention to the erroneous statement in the first installment of the
above article that Joseph Doane, husband of Mary Godfrey was a son of
Hepzibah Cole Crisp Doan (The Register 126:136). The mother of Joseph
Doane, son of Daniel, was Daniel's first wife, identity uncertain but
presumed to have been Constant or Constance, daughter of Nicholand and
Constance (Hopkins) Snow. Daniel Doane did not marry Mepsibah (Cole)
Crisp until after 28 July 1682, when her first husband George Crisp died.
George Crisp named her in his Will and made her executrix asking 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,
1902, pp. 26-30). The authority for nameing Constant Snow as the first
wife of Daniel Doane appears to be a notebook on Eastham families kept by
Josiah Paine, for half a century 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 assumed that he found some evidence for his statement; however
no one has discovered where he found it. It should be noted that the
Mayflower Society does not accept lines of descent through the first wife
of Daniel Doane.
