Ephraim was a Fisherman
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.

William Ring 1585 Mary Durant 1590-1637

William Ring
Born abt 1580 Houghton, Lancaster, England
Birth note: Extracted christening records in Pettistree do have a 'Willus Ryng' christened in 1599 with parents Willmi and Finaetae, but if the marriage date to Mary Durant is true (1601) this nullifies William being from Pettistree
Occupation: Say-weaver at Leyden, Holland, before the Separatists (Pilgrims) sailed for America
Note: Fairchild’s Dictionary of Textiles (7th edition) gives the following information on ‘say’ (saye or saie) An obsolete fabric widely used from the 12th to 19th centuries. During the 12th and 13th centuries, it was a relatively fine, lightweight, high quality wool fabric similar to serge. About the 16th century, it was also made of silk.
Married Mary Durant 21 May 1601 Ufford, Suffolk, England
Died Leiden, Holland, Netherlands
Notes: He was guaranteed by William Bradford and Alex Price on June 7, 1619 (Guaranteed meant vouched for and sworn in). The Mary Ring who witnessed a wedding at Leyden in 1614, was probably his wife. When the 'Speedwell' sailed from Delfthaven on June 22, 1620, William was aboard. At Dartmouth, on August 17th, after leaks forced the ship into port, agent Robert Cushman wrote that, "Poor William Ring and myself do strive who shall be meat for the fishes but we look for a glorious resurection." When the 'Mayflower' set out alone on September 6th, neither William nor Mary were aboard.
