Notes
General:
There is no evidence that Ruth moved off Cape, to my knowledge. The Ruth Doane who died 1840 in Royalston was her daughter-in-law.Marriage Notes (Joshua Doane)
Evelyn Rich regarded this Ruth as the likely Rich to have married Doane. The birth dates given by Evelyn Rich and Doane for Mary, Sarah, Joshua and Solomon are 2 years later than recorded by Eastham, so the others' dates are suspect also.
There were 2 Joshua Doane families in Eastham at the 1790 Census.
(2 males > 16, 2 males < 16, 2 females)
