Ephraim Doane
Born 1 Apr 1696 Provincetown, Barnstable, Massachusetts, British Colonial America
Occupation(s):  Fisherman 1732 in Truro, when in Middletown was listed as a Mariner and owner of one or more small vessels and joint owner with three other men in this venture.  Chartered their vessel, the Diamond, to Major Jabez Hamlin as a transport to carry Connecticut troops to Louisbourg. She sailed in November of that year and soon after arrived. She was detained in the service until Feb. 3, 1746, when she sailed from Louisbourg for New London, but foundered at sea on the home trip.
Married: Mary Atkins 5 March 1717 Truro, Barnstable, Massachusetts, British Colonial America
Children: Ephraim, Nehemiah, Betsy, Joshua, Mary, Elisha
1738 moved his family to Middletown
6 Jan 1739: He and wife admitted to the local church
Purchased land in Middletown 18 June 1739
May 1751: he presented a memorial to the Assembly of Connecticut, showing these facts and setting forth that his two sons were among those lost in the vessel; that the sons were his great dependence in his advanced years, and that by their loss, and loss of his vessel, he was brought under pitiable circumstances. Whereupon the Assembly passed a resolution granting him a gratuity of £150 old tenor bills    
Died after 1751 - it was his wife that died that year, not him.
Buried Probably in the McDonough Cemetery
Note: wife died 23 December 1751 and is buried in the McDonough Cemetery according to Connecticut headstone inscriptions

Massachusetts Marriages 1695-1910 Note: there are two dates given - the first in the original "Old English" script and a second date (31 January of 1719, which is nearly a year later) which was written after the fact. I trust the original script because when I looked at both, the January/1719 date was preceded by the same date. I think the clerk made a mistake.

George Godfrey 1643 Hannah Hackett 1640

H - 8th GGrandfather
George David Godfrey
Parents: Unknown - see note
Note: I have not found definite proof that Edward (who became a Governor of a province in Maine) is his father. An alternative I found on Ancestral File is Francis, however, I can't find anything to truly link them either. He didn't name any of his children after either of these men. You would think he would if his father were Governor.

Hannah Godfrey

Marriage: Joseph Cary 1687 Norwich, New London, Connecticut, British Colonial America
Children: Joseph, Jabez
Note:  I did not find proof of this marriage, other than it was listed on Family Search.  I personally believe there are TWO Hannah Godfrey's; this one, born in Massachusetts, and the other, born in Connecticut.  There is also a Hannah Godfrey that married Ephraim Hoyt (did find a source for that marriage), but married also in New Hampshire...a distance of over 116 walking miles in a day when travel wasn't that easy. So far, I'm not convinced Hannah was married at all. Anyone *with sources* know the truth?

Thomas Nickerson 1744-1772 Ruth Hinckley 1743-1827

Thomas Nickerson
Born 19 Mar 1744 Chatham, Barnstable, Massachusetts
Parents Thomas Nickerson and Dorcas Sparrow
Married Ruth Hinckley 27 Oct 1765 Harwich, Barnstable, Massachusetts
Died Nov 1772 (Murdered at sea)
Note:
HISTORY OF CHATHAM - (pages 330-331, edited for clarity)

On Sunday the 15th of November 1772, Capt. Joseph Doane Jr. sailed from Chatham Harbor on the Back of Cape Cod.  Soon after (about ten o'clock in the Forenoon) Captain Doane saw a schooner with a signal of distress.  


Going on board, they found one survivor, who appeared to be in a great fright.  He gave the following account: the day before the said schooner incident, Thomas Nickerson, Master, sailed from Boston Harbor bound to Chatham.  He continued: at two o'clock the next morning they saw a topsail schooner.  The survivor, fearing he should be impressed (impressment, colloquially, "the press" or the "press gang", refers to the act of taking men into a military or naval force by compulsion, with or without notice. Navies of several nations used forced recruitment by various means.) , slung himself with a rope and let himself over the stern and four boats with armed men came on board.  

Further, that whilst he was there hanging over the stern, he judged by what he heard that the Master, Mate, and one man were murdered and a boy carried away alive.  He heard talk of burning the vessel, but it was finally agreed to leave her to drive out to sea with her sails standing.  After they left her, the survivor came up on deck, found none of the crew, but saw the marks of their being murdered. 

Captain Doane says that when he came on board, the Decks were bloody, the chests all broke open and plundered and the head knocked out of a barrel of rum and two or three gallons only left in it.

Captain Doane brought the schooner to the harbor at Chatham and early the next day repaired to Barnstable and gave this account to Edward Bacon Esq., who forwarded it to the Governor and the same day went to Chatham to examine the person found on board. His name was Ansel Nickerson, a cousin of the captain.  NOTE:  ANSEL WAS ACCUSED BUT NEVER CONVICTED OF THE MURDERS

2) Eunice Freeman 24 August 1815 Massachusetts
Children:  Francis, Isaiah
Note:  5 Feb 1829, Eunice died of burns at the house of her brother-in-law Joseph Smith. According to family legend, she'd been reading in bed when her clothes caught fire, at which time she ran nearly a quarter-mile, burning, to her sister Polly's house, whereupon reaching the house, she dropped dead.  Note:  Not trying to be the family rain cloud, but a quarter mile of running while on fire seems more likely to be a tall tale.   
THE FAMILY LEGEND ABOUT DAVID 
David was supposedly in France during the "Reign of Terror" following the Revolution. One day while there, a woman confronted the young sea captain, thrust a baby in his arms, and exhorted him to take the child to America and to call him "Rene Rousseau". He obliged the woman, and, at age 23, the child was a sea captain himself. Rene, too, was lost at sea at age 25, and his name was placed on the same stone as Capt. David Nickerson. The boy was rumored to have been the "Lost Dauphin of France".
THE TRUTH REVEALED
An article in Winter 2014 edition (Vol 15, No 1) of American Ancestors Magazine (published by NEHGS) puts the myth and rumors to rest, explaining that Rene Rousseau was, in fact, born after the French Revolution and was, instead, an apprentice of Captain David Nickerson, evidenced by a legal document from Jun 20,1807 at Nantes.
Died 26 Feb 1879 Boston, Massachusetts (At sea)
Note:  David died aboard the schooner Hope on the Atlantic Ocean, dying of African Fever on the passage home from a trading voyage. 
Buried:  Old Burying Ground, Brewster, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States
Note:  The headstone that existed until the 1970's does not mark his final resting place, but, rather, is a memorial to the sea captain lost at sea. The stone itself was said to be under repair in 1979, but has not been seen again  Note:  the picture of the headstone (I could not make out what was on the stone, but it does look as if it has been repaired) was offered on findagrave).
