Richard Sawtell, the first Town Clerk of Groton, was living on this site at that time and
his house would have been a convenient rallying point for the neighbors. He probably was
the Richard Sawtell who was a member of Major Appleton's Company in this war.

An original Proprietor of Groton

John DOANE Deacon Sir

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
