From Josiah Paine’s “Early Settlers of Eastham”:95
    “Samuel Hicks was among the first who went to Nausett after the settlement commenced. He came over with his mother, Margaret, in the Ann in 1623, to meet his father, Robert, who had previously come in the Fortune. His age at the time is not known. He was in Plymouth in 1643 and able to bear arms. He went to Nausett and was the constable in 1646. He was a representative to the Colony court in Jun, 1647, and also in 1649 with Mr. John Doane. He did not long remain in Eastham. He was a resident of Barnstable as late as 1662, and an inhabitant of Dartmouth in 1670, where the family was interested in somelanded estate.”

From The Doane Family:254
    “Samuel Hicks seems to have been a man of standing. He was in Plymouth in 1639, when he bought his father's house, out-houses and garden-plot, with two cows, and lands on the north and south sides of the town. He was admitted a freeman Mar. l, 1641-2 and contributed one-sixteenth part of the money to build a barque of forty or fifty tons, costing £200. He was among the first who went to Nauset, or Eastham, after the settlement commenced. He was constable there in 1646, and represented the town in the Colony Court in 1647, and again in 1649 with his father-in-law Deacon John Doane. He returned to Plymouth, where two of their children were born, and was a constable in that town in 1654. He was sometime an inhabitunt of Barnstable. Mr. Otis says, he was admitted an inhabitant there Oct. 8, 1662, but had then resided in the town several years.
    “In 1661, there was ‘a difference’ between Samuel Hicks and his mother, about the will of his father Robert and it was agreed that Samuel should pay his mother ten pounds, and leave ‘the winescot bedstead and the table in the hall to remain in the house as now it stands,’ the bouse to revert to Samuel at his mother's decease.
    “He removed to Dartmouth where his father had been interested in some landed estate. In 1666 an Indian named ‘Daniell’ was examined before the court for striking Samuel Hicks, of Acushna or Dartmouth ‘so that he languisheth and hath been in danger of death.’ The Indian confessed that he ‘struck or punched Hicks with an axe or the haft of it,’ but claimed that Hicks first struck him. After a hearing Daniell was fined four pounds and four shillings for bill of charges, and forty shillings for loss of Hicks time, and ten shillings to John Haward for going to Plymouth as a witness.
    “On June 5, 1667, Samuel Hicks was one of the selectmen and a Receiver of Excise for Dartmouth. He was in the list of freemen there in 1670, and a deputy to the Colony Court.”

    “From entries in Eastham town records, it is inferred that [Abigail] was, to some extent, engaged in business. Her name appears several times on Eastham records as the owner of horses.
    “May 6, 1672, sold and delivered according to a Court Order by Abigail Doane, to an Indian called Moses, one bay horse, ear marked two slits, a star in the forehead, a little white streak over the left nostril, burn marked E on the near buttock.—Eastham town record.
    “On the one hundredth anniversary of her birth, an audience of her neighbors and church people assembled in her rooms at Norwich, where a sermon was preached by her pastor, the Rev. Benjamin Lord. At this time, it is claimed, she retained to a remarkable degree the intelligence and vivacity of her earlier years.
    “Caulkins' History of New London gives the following notice of her death, copied from the New England Weekly Journal: ‘Mrs. Abigail Lothrop died at Norwich, Jan. 23, 1735, in her 104th year. Her father John Doane and his wife came to Plymouth in 1630, and there she was born the next year. She lived single till she was sixty years old and then married Mr. John (Samuel) Lothrop of Norwich, who lived ten years and then died.”
Ca 1690 Abigail married Hon. Samuel Lathrop, son of Rev. John Lothrop (1584-8 Nov 1653) & Hannah House (1590-16 Feb 1633/4). Born ca 1622 in Egerton, Kent. Samuel died in Norwich, CT on 19 Feb 1700.

Samuel was a judge, Barnstable County, 1643. He served in Major Williard's expedition against Ninigret in 1654, and he served with Lieutenant Avery in the expedition for the relief of Uncas, 1659(?).

On 1648 Samuel went to New London, then called Pequot, where he built the ‘Second Church’ and held positions of responsibility and honor. In 1649 the General Court organized a local court at Pequot and Samuel Lothrop was one of the judges. In 1668 he removed to Norwich, where he is recorded as Constable and Townsman.254

He was a selectman almost every year from 1678 to 1700. He often served as a juror, and was the constable of Eastham in 1661 and 1693. In 1701 and 1702 he was one of the Negative Men. In 1664 he was appointed one of the Receivers of Excise for Eastham. at 1668 he was of the Grand Inquest and in 1669 he was a Justice of the Select Court. He represented his town in the Colony Court in 1684 and 1685, and in the General Court at Boston in 1693, 1694 and 1702. He was a large landholder and was quite extensively engaged in farming. It is understood that his homestead was near that of his father. Mr. Doane was of the same religious faith as his father, and a member of the First Church of Eastham. He doubtless was buried in the old rown Cove burial ground.”
On 30 Apr 1662 John first married Hannah Bangs (5735) , daughter of Edward Bangs (ca 1591-Feb 1677/8) & Rebecca Hobart (2304) (ca 1611-1679), in Eastham, MA.148 Born ca 1644 in Plymouth, MA.254 Hannah died aft 1677.

He was a prominent man in the affairs of the town and church. He was a selectman each year from 1691 to 1696; a juryman in 1677, 1686, 1687, 1689; a surveyor of highways in 1667, 1673, 1699, 1700, 1704. He was a deacon of the First church for many years, probably succeeding his father Dea. John Doane. He was an extensive landholder, the Eastham records showing many grants to him, nearly all of which were within the limits of the present town of Orleans. One of his children, evidently the eldest, was accidentally drowned in a well at Eastham, and an investigating jury was impanelled Sept. 22, 1667.”
