5. Most of the accounts on the web quote each other and assume Anne Doane is the daughter of John and wife of William Twining, without offering any documentation. I find more persuasive the arguments I've sketched here, taken from Eugene Aubrey Stratton, Plymouth Colony: Its History & People, 1620-1691 (Salt Lake City: Ancestry Publishing, 1986), 282-83. See also Robert Charles Anderson, The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633, Vol. I: A-F (Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, Great Migration Study Project, 1995), 562-63, for a pretty thorough account of all the primary source information available on John Doane--all with no mention of a daughter named Anne, let alone one who married William Twining. I think we can lay aside as discredited myth that Anne, the wife of William Twining, was the daughter of John Doane who married at least twice, and whose daughter Abigail administered his estate.
