The dates sound about right since my grandfather,Gerald Doane was born about 1896. He married my grandmother Mary Vance. His father was John Doane who came from England and married my great grandmother a Cherokee Indian. I've seen a picture of her was I was young but do not remember her name. Two souces of info you can check is the Cherokee Nation Headquaters in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. They can do a search for you at minimal cost. There is also a two volume set on the Doane family history available from the Doane Family Association. Not sure of the address but you may find it with a google search. I found the 1st edition which covers the 1600's to about 1800 at the library. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
