How ironic. I was at a seminar last week on the Doan gang. It was hosted by Washington Crossing Park. Two speakers representing Mercer Museum of Doylestown, Bucks County. They will be opening a display in spring 2024 covering the history of the Doans. Looking forward to the rest of your series.
Some historic events may not be the most popular or desired, but not telling them would definitely stand as far worse for no one to learn.
We in the US disre Our US History 🇺🇸 !
It is generally believed that a full third of American colonists stayed loyal to Britain during the Revolution with one third wanting independence and the final third not taking a side. This is the first Quaker criminal gang I've heard of and I wasn't expecting to ever find one. Live and learn.
I watch you so much I asked my grandson what’s your name and he knows it always remembers very interesting can’t imagine living in 1788
My 9x and 8x great grandparents farms were in Plumstead at that time. They were German Lutherans not Quakers though. I’ve often wondered if they knew or had run ins with the Doan gang.
The doan cave is very small in ralph Stover Park. Maybe 6 feet deep. 3 feet high.
I think Cliff checked that out once
I was there years ago already.
Looking forward to this series, gotta love history. Really enjoyed that. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care
Your on your way to Peace Valley Park on New Galena Rd, You cross over Callowhill Rd. Right where the circle entrance ends is a tiny creek. If you follow the tiny creek north you'll find a cave. there's no place to park and it's a walk n a half to get back to the creek site. At 77 with bad legs I'll pass on exploring it.
Native Bucks County dude and quaker here. It’s bizarre these fellows had a nefarious side, as quakerism (like all religions) denounces violence.
A neat trip for you might be visiting the Buckingham Friends Meetinghouse, built in 1762. The glass panes are original and have bulges at the bottom due to time and gravity. There’s an awesome cemetery attached, naturally. I live in Lambertville, would be neat to help you out or join you. This was cool. Thanks!
"Mahlon" is pronounced "May-lun". Great vid as usual...Thanks for your time and effort.
Look forward to the series, I had never heard of them. Good stuff.
Enjoyed the video and another great adventure into history look forward to watching your videos
I used to live in Bucks CO in Sellersville. It is such a beautiful area. SO rich in history.
Looks to be an interesting series. Thanks!
Great video and info! I live in the area and love hearing local history and lore. Never knew about the Doan Gang. I need to get out more and research some of this stuff.
Great history lesson Cliff, the winners always get to write the history. If you pick the losing side.........Well (I think) the saying goes............"one countries patriot is another countries outlaw/terrorist". The colonies won against the British so.................
My great grandmother used to tell me stories as a child. We are related and I still live in the area! Thanks for sharing!
Interesting video. If you think about it, the American Colonies were actually British Colonies. So, from the British point of view, everyone who was fighting against the British were outlaws who were fighting against their own country at the time.
Looking forward to this series, Cliff! No clue why you don’t have hundreds of thousands of subscribers! One day I’m sure!! Thank you…
Very interesting 😊😮❤ cool series. Thanks.
Sad they are over the wall.😢
I was always under the impression Mahlon was pronounced "mail on" Anyone know for sure?
I was thinking the same thing. Like “Waylon” May-Lon?
Yes. Accent on the first syllable.
I look forward to seeing your work
Greetings from Delco Pa. Love these videos.
Good job, as always. This sounds like an interesting subject . Thanks ❤
Very cool...you are so correct, a different opinion does not make it BAD or WRONG!!! It applies today as much if not more than then!
I grew up on these Doan boys stories. Story's from the old timers were great. Moses Doan's rife is in the museum in Doylestown pa. Ja when I was young we use to frequent the said Doan cave. Not very big back then. The Doan family farm still exists on Stump road close to 413. ja they knocked over the Newtown bank by holding the bankers family hostage while the others with the forced help of the banker cleaned out the funds.. Was said that a young Moses would hang with the Lenape tribe upper Delaware river around Kernersville pa. Alright enough for now
Love your point about them fighting for a cause. I would encourage you to continue in this vein if you feel compelled. People who love history can understand nuance.
Amazing share!! Thankyou. I wonder where in Canada the one Doan fellow settled...
@9:00. Great conversation to have. Good thoughts to keep in mind.
I when to Pennsylvania last year
Cool video.
I keep hoping to see you over at memorial lake near the gap😊
I think I seen you in the Meyersdale pa area yesterday
That wasn't me.
Looks like they were not buried facing east, per the Quaker tradition. I wonder if that was done on purpose.
Most likely.
Something how they would place people outside the cemetery. I understand why but still Something different you don't hear much great video ty Steve
I read somewhere years ago that many of the Hessians stayed here in this country after the war and married becoming Americans. I always wondered how true that is.. All my family who fought in the Civil War were rebels, and they took up arms against the United States. The good ole USA has been very forgiving.
I have talked to Canadians about the revolutionary war and they have a different view of it they did repel an invasion of the Americans and very proud of it maybe too proud lol but very good people to know
if you would like another detectorist to help search for the treasure let me know buddy ... the beardednomadrelichunter at your service
my dad said the loyalist lost their land and moved to Canada where the British gave them land
Most loyalists actually stayed in America, but a significant part of them did move to Canada
history is written by the winners, or something like that.
Well the only thing that I have to say about this is their ancestors at some point came to this country from some other country I don't know if they came from England or not but then they want to be loyal to England?
most Americans back then were of British descent.
Where was their family farm?
In the Plumstead area.
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 Thanks 👋
At the time of the American Revolution, England was not a democracy. It was ruled by a king and aristocracy. Since the colonists were fighting to establish a democratic republic, I would say the loyalists were wrong. Even England is a democracy today. As Churchill reportedly said, democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.
Abraham and Levi died on the same date. Were they maybe hanged for their crimes?
Yes, they were.
I know ALOT OF AMERICANS DONT KNOW THIS ABOUT PLACING FLAGS ON GRAVESITES! THE AMERICAN FLAG GOES LEFT AND THE BRITISH FLAG GOES RIGHT! ....Thank you!
