Notes

Marriage

Daniel Doan did not marry Hepzibah Cole Crisp until after July 28, 1682, the date of her first husband's death. George Crisp's will dated Jun 8, 1682 stated: "...my friend and neighbor Goodman Daniel Done, be helpful to my wife as overseers". The only child Daniel and Hepzibah had together was Hepzibah Doan born in 1688. All his other children were born to his first wife, Constance Snow, who died sometime before 1682.
