John Doane rated highly in the estimation of Govenor William Bradford and Thomas Prence. His name appears many times in the old records of the colony. He held many offices and s mentioned frequently on various committees. He had charge of settling many estates and handling the legal affairs of numerous minors.

Following a practice common in those days, John and Ann bound out two of the Bryant boys to good friends. Thomas went to Mr. Eddy and Stephen went to John Shaw. This practice offered the boys financial opportunities and connections independent of and supplementary to those which their own parents could offer them as they grew up.
