DOBLE
JOHN DOBLE, and his wife ABIGAIL ROLLSTON resided in Braintree, Norfolk Co., MA. in 1754 when their son William Doble was born. This is all the information I have on either of them. It comes from Charles C. Doble: CHASCUNNINGHAM@prodiy.net
CHILDREN:
1. WILLIAM DOBLE SR
WILLIAM DOBLE SR was born on 11 Nov 1754 in Braintree, Norfolk Co., MA and died on 2 Sep 1820 in West Sumner, Oxford Co., Me.; He married SARAH VARNUM abt 1774 in Dracut, Middlesex Co., MA. She was b. 14 Apr 1757 Dracut, Middlesex Co., MA., and d. 07 Feb 1844 West Sumner, Oxford Co., ME., the daughter of ABRAHAM VARNUM and (1) REBECCA FARLEY of Dracut, MA.
William Doble came to Buckfield, Oxford Co., ME. in 1779 or 1780, [The history of Buckfield, p. 34] ; settling on the Twenty Mile River, and that he "lived and died on his settling lot" [Ibid. p. 579]. Their first four children were not born in Buckfield [Ibid.]
"William doble and David Record had lot #9, w. div., after enough land had been added by the proprietors to make 200 acres. They made the division themselves....Doble's (dwelling place) on the northeast side of the river on the cross road leading from the Lowell Corner to the Turner Road. The origin of William doble is uncertain. Elias Taylor, elsewhere mentioned, had heard it said that he had been left, while an infant, at the door of a well-to-do family, which had brought him up as one of their own. Many of his descendants at one time lived in the town of Sumner." "History Of Buckfield, Maine, p. 37
Note: The remarks about William Doble's origins in the History of Buckfield have cause untold troubles for many descendants attempting to trace his ancestry. In addition Sarah's maiden name was listed as "Farnham" in the Town Records of Sumner, ME. which added to the confusion. (wcl)
"William Doble settled on the Twenty Mile River. He married Sarah. He lived and died on his settling lot. He died after 1811." "History Of Buckfield, Maine" p. 579
