Look forward to the series, I had never heard of them. Good stuff.
I keep hoping to see you over at memorial lake near the gap😊
Cool video.
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.
yes they were wrong. truth is objective. taxation is theft because it is not voluntary.
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.
Looks to be an interesting series. Thanks!
my dad said the loyalist lost their land and moved to Canada where the British gave them land
It all Started when the Doan Family Farm was Seized for being Pacifists and refusing to be involved. THAT lit the Fire and Created the Outlaws.
"Mahlon" is pronounced "May-lun". Great vid as usual…Thanks for your time and effort.
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.
Enjoyed the video and another great adventure into history look forward to watching your videos
Yeah, they were wrong. Tory scum. I’m sure they would be delighted at the government over reach nowadays.
Very interesting 😊😮❤ cool series. Thanks.
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.
Where was their family farm?
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……………..
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.
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.
Good job, as always. This sounds like an interesting subject . Thanks ❤
Abraham and Levi died on the same date. Were they maybe hanged for their crimes?
Greetings from Delco Pa. Love these videos.
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
The doan cave is very small in ralph Stover Park. Maybe 6 feet deep. 3 feet high.
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
Amazing share!! Thankyou. I wonder where in Canada the one Doan fellow settled…
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?
I’m sure they’re loyalty was behind the money the British provided. Look what money is doing to government today… don’t forget, you said it yourself. They were thieves.
I was always under the impression Mahlon was pronounced "mail on" Anyone know for sure?
Looks like they were not buried facing east, per the Quaker tradition. I wonder if that was done on purpose.
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
Looking forward to this series, gotta love history. Really enjoyed that. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care
if you would like another detectorist to help search for the treasure let me know buddy … the beardednomadrelichunter at your service
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.
@9:00. Great conversation to have. Good thoughts to keep in mind.
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.
I used to live in Bucks CO in Sellersville. It is such a beautiful area. SO rich in history.
I think I seen you in the Meyersdale pa area yesterday
