From The Doane Family:254
    “Elisha Doane was an ensign of his father’s company at Louisbourg after the surrender of that stronghold in 1745. He was a prominent man in Wellfleet and in Barnstable County; a Justice of the Peace; a Colonel of militia; Precinct treasurer from 1760 to 1762; district clerk and treasurer from 1763 to 1778; a Representative to the General Court from 1766 to 1768, 1781 and 1782; a selectman from 1763 to 1771. He was a Massachusetts Senator for a number of years, and it was said commanded more respect, and exerted greater influence in that body than any other member. He was largely engaged in the whale fishery in his early life, but later was occupied in other affairs and spent the most of his time in Boston. He accumulated a large fortune, estimated at £100,000. In Dwight's Travels it is said: ‘Col. Doane of Wellfleet, and Thomas Boyleston of Boston were estimated by their fellow citizens the two richest men in the Province of Mass. Bay.’
    “At Wellfleet he lived in as much style as the situation and times could afford. He was famous for his hospitality and entertained freely. There was no tavern in the town and when any stranger of standing and respectability visited the place, he was at once invited to become the guest of Colonel Doane, and the family papers contain many amusing accounts of the length of time which some of the guests found pleasurable, but with which the family were quite content. Among his wedding presents to his wife was a coach, the first one ever seen in Wellfleet. It could be used there but little, however, on account of the poor roads, which were hardly up to that class of carriages. The latter part of his life Colonel Doane resided chiefly in Boston, where he was engaged in commerce, and where he had a handsome house and delighted in receiving and entertaining his friends. He was a man of great charm of manner, it was said, but of strong character and the strictest integrity. His remains were placed in the Doane Tomb, No. 12, under Kings Chapel, corner of Tremont and School streets, Boston. His first wife, Hope, was buried in the Duck Creek burial-ground at Wellfleet. She was a ‘gentle woman, universally respected, whose death was lamented by all, especially by the poor, to whom she was a great friend.’”

These men generally were of the same crew, and were the most expert whalemen of the town.

    “He was buried in the Duck Creek burial-ground at Wellfleet, where a stone with this inscription marks his grave:
