The Doan gang was a group of British loyalists, the most notorious members being five brothers and one cousin from the Doan family of Plumstead. The gang was composed of around 30 members who were accused murderers, attainted traitors, horse thieves, and ferried British prisoners of war to British lines. They were also guilty of robbing tax collectors, their most famous crime being the theft of the Bucks County treasury in 1781. Research has centered on separating fact from fiction and is based entirely on contemporary records, including court documents, eyewitness accounts, newspaper appearances, maps, and depositions.
Clint Flack is the Exhibit Specialist/Preparator at the Mercer Museum. Annie Halliday is the Library and Archives Manager of the Mercer Museum Research Library. Located in Doylestown, PA, the Mercer Museum is an historic castle celebrating the legacy of Henry Chapman Mercer (1856-1930), American archaeologist, anthropologist, ceramicist and scholar. The museum is operated by the Bucks County Historical Society.
