Not sure about the relationship between the above John Doane and Deacon John however, there is a reference to Deacon John in The Plymouth Colony: Its History and People 1620-1691
Part Three: Biographical Sketches--
Widow Harding was on the 25 March 1633 tax list for the minimum amount, nine shillings. Martha Harding died before 28 October 1633 and John Doane presented her inventory and was administrator on behalf of her son (PCR 1:18). Her inventory was valued at a little over Ð20, and among her debts were Ð20 to threeof her husband's brothers in England. It was noted that she died with out a will, leaving one son to the custody of Mr.John Doane (MD1:82- 83), and Dawes-Gates 2:302 gives good reason to think that she may have been Doane's sister. Her son,Joseph Harding, later married Bethiah Cooke (PCR 8:27),daughter of Josiah Cooke, q.v.
