³Daynes Family Homepage, http://daynesfamilytree.netfirms.com/index.html. "FAMILY TREE OF JOHN DOANE, DEACON
Sir Knight Deacon John Doane came to the colonies with the initial 5 ships of the Winthrop Fleet which sailed to Plymouth and the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the spring of 1629. He was in business with John Atwood of London who represented James Sherley. He moved to Eastham on Cape Cod around 1645. His burial place may be seen at the following link Some of his descendants are called the Cheshire Doanes. Some great links to websites that I have found on this John Doane are http://www.spoonergen.com/res/resg58.htm#2543 and History of Barnstable MA and Ephraim Doane son of John Doane of Eastham

Known to have arrived in 1629 from Leyden, Holland, where many English fled to escape the religious persecution of England. View the following link to a historic landmark ." This site gives death date as 11 Feb 1685.

⁴Doane Rock, http://www.nps.gov/archive/caco/places/doanerock.html. "Doane ResettledDoane Rock protrudes above the otherwise level ground surface of the Eastham plain. This glacial boulder attests to the massive scale of the glacial ice sheets that covered Cape Cod some 18,000 years ago. Boulders of varying sizes were transported from their original location as the great ice sheet, sometimes up to two miles thick, crept slowly southward. Doane Rock is the largest exposed boulder on Cape Cod.Over time, the landscape here has seen many changes. When the glaciers retreated, northern vegetative types predominated. Then, as the climate warmed, more southern species arrived. The landscape contained a mix of both types until the arrival of Europeans, who dramatically altered the scene.Deacon John Doane was one of the first of seven families from Plymouth Colony to settle in this area in 1644. A memorial stone was erected some two hundred years later by Doane family members.Doane was a prominent member of the Pilgrim Church, and took on a number of leadership roles in the Plymouth Colony's government. Doane descendants are still prominent on Cape Cod. Some of the Cape Cod Doane's also resettled in Nova Scotia at the time of the Revolutionary War.In Deacon Doane's days, the land was rich and fertile, but English land clearing and farming practices exhausted the soil, leading to a barren landscape. In the mid-1800s, Doane Rock (also known as Enoch's rock), stood starkly above a treeless horizon."

²Passenger List of the Diligent 1638
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~ski/scott/diligent.html. "Passenger List of the Diligent 1638Ipswich, Suffolk England to Boston Harbor
from: The Planters of the CommonwealthCharles E. Banks,published by Houghton Mifflin Co. (1930),pages 191-194.
Charles Banks' source for the 'Diligent' passenger is Daniel Cushing, 3rd and/or 4th Town Clerk of Hingham MA. Daniel Cushing was nineteen years old when the ship sailed, but close to sixty or more when he wrote out the list. Most of the wives are named only as "Mrs.", the children of some families are not listed and there are also some probable errors in the list. However, the list below is as it appears in Banks' book. Following the listing are some notes on many of the families from various sources (mainly George Lincoln's History of the Town of Hingham MA: The Genealogies unless noted otherwise) which name the wives and children and possibly make a correction or two to the list. The blue asterisks following some families names link to notes about them.

DILIGENT, of Ipswich, John Martin, Master. She sailed from Ipswich, Suffolk, in June and arrived August 10 at Boston, with about one hundred passengers, principally from Hingham, Norfolk, destined for Hingham, Massachusetts (other sources have that the Diligent sailed from Gravesend on 26 Apr 1638)." from: The Planters of the CommonwealthCharles E. Banks,published by Houghton Mifflin Co. (1930),pages 191-194. "PHILIP JAMES of Hingham, county Norfolk * Mrs. Jane James.......James.......James.......James.......James
PHILIP JAMES
Philip was probably the brother of Francis James (above). He was born about 1600-1605 in or near Hingham, Norfolk and died soon after arriving in MA. His widow Jane married George Russell on 14 Feb 1639/40, and she died 22 Feb 1688/89 in Hingham "age about 83 years" (Russell genealogist George Ely Russell gives her maiden name as Davenport though I'm not sure of the original source). Diligent passengers William Pitts and Edward Mitchell came as servants of Philip and Jane. Though not named in the above list, the names of the four children of Philip and Jane were:
Anne b. abt. 1629; d. prob. bef. 1689. She married John Turner, Jr., son of Humphrey and Lydia (Gamer) Turner, on 25 Apr 1649 at Scituate MA. They had eleven children. Note: This Anne James who married John Turner, Jr. is listed a "almost certainly a daughter of Philip" James in source #1 below. That John Turner, Jr. was the son of a Humphrey seems a bit odd, but in his will he writes: "I, John Turner, Jr., sonne of Humphrey Turner late of Scituate...".
Francis b. abt 1622 at or near Hingham, Norfolk; d. 29 Nov 1684 Hingham MA. He married Elizabeth Hiland, dau. of Thomas and Deborah (___) Hiland, before 1657. They had six children.
Jane b. abt. 1634; d. aft 13 Feb 1661[?/2]. She married John Adams, son of John and Ellen, poss. Helen or Eleanor (?Newton) Adams, and they had three children.
Sarah bp. 13 Mar 1636 at Hingham, Norfolk; d. 30 Jun 1664 Barnstable MA. She married Robert Parker 28 Jan 1656/57 at Barnstable MA. They had four children.
