ford, from 1863 till 1867, and then rector of St. Peter's church, Albany, in which church he was elected first bishop of the new diocese of Albany on 3 Dec, 1868, and consecrated on 2 Feb., 1869. He has organized the Cathedral of All Saints, in Albany, and begun the erection of the building ; has established the Sisterhood of the Holy Child Jesus, for works of mercy and education in the church; and founded St. Agnes school for girls, and the Child's hospital, in Albany, with affiliated houses for the care and training of children in Saratoga and East Line. His publications consist chiefly of addresses, sermons, and fugitive verses, be- sides the memoir of his father mentioned above, and a volume called " Mosaics for the Christian Year."
DOANE, Joseph, loyalist, of Bucks county, Pa.
Previous to the Revolution he was regarded as a
reputable man of good estate, but, having been har-
assed by the whigs, he and his seven sons threw in
their lot with the tories. He was in Bedford coun-
ty jail in September, 1783, but nothing further is
known of his history. Five of the sons, Moses,
Joseph, Israel, Abraham, and Mahlon, were men
of fine physique and address, elegant horsemen,
and great runners and leapers. Their property
having been confiscated and sold, they determined
to wage predatory war upon their persecutors, to
live in the open air, and exist as best they could.
In pursuance of this plan, they became the terror
of the surrounding country, robbing and plundering
continually, but sparing the poor, the weak, and
the peaceful. They also acted as spies for the
British army, always went on horseback, sometimes
all together, at other times separately, and with ac-
complices. So successful were they in escaping
when arrested or assailed, that a reward of £300
was offered for each of their heads. Finally, Moses,
after a desperate fight, was shot by his captors, and
Abraham and Mahlon were hanged at Philadelphia.
Joseph, before the Revolution, was a teacher.
While on a marauding expedition during the war,
he was badly wounded, and, falling froni^his horse,
was captured. He was imprisoned, but succeeded
in escaping to New Jersey, where he taught for a
year under an assumed name. Finally he fled to
Canada, and returned to Pennsylvania, a few years
after peace had been declared, a poor, broken-down
old man. The only mention of Israel is that in
February, 1783, he was in jail, and that his appeal
to the council of Pennsylvania to be released was
dismissed. Aaron, who was under sentence of
death at Philadelphia in October, 1784, was par-
doned by the council in March, 1785, and a second
Aaron was reprieved under the gallows, at Newark,
N. J., in July, 1788.
DOANE, William Howard, musical composer,
b. in Preston, Conn., 3 Feb., 1831. He was edu-
cated at Woodstock academy, and settled in Cin-
cinnati, Ohio. Though actively engaged in busi-
ness, he devotes much time to musical study and
work, especially in connection with Sunday-schools.
Dr. Doane is very active and liberal in the promo-
tion of Christian enterprises. In 1878 he presented
Denison university with Doane hall, a library build-
ing costing $10,000. His works include " Sabbath-
School Gems" (1862); "Little Sunbeams" (1864) ;
" Silver Spray " (1867) ; and " Songs of Devotion "
(1868) ; and several others in connection with the
Rev. Robert Lowry. He is the chief editor of the
"Baptist Hymnai" (New York, 1886). In 1875
Denison university, Ohio, confei-red upon him the
degree of ]Mus. Doe.
DOBBIN, James Cochrane, statesman, b. in
Fayetteville, N. C, in 1814; d. there, 4 Aug.,
1857. He was graduated at the University of
North Carolina in 1832, studied law, was admitted
to the bar in 1835, and practised in Fayetteville.
He was elected to congress from North Carolina as
a Democrat, and served from 1 Dec, 1845, till 3
March, 1847. He was a member of the state legis-
lature in 1848-'52, and chosen speaker in 1850. He
was a member of the Democratic national conven-
tion at Baltimore in 1852, and appointed secretary
of the navy bv President Pierce, serving from 7
March, 1853, until 6 March, 1857.
DOBBINS, Daniel, naval officer, b. in Mifflin
county, Pa., 5 July, 1776 : d. at Presque Isle, 29
Feb., 1856. He visited Lake Erie with a party of
surveyors as early as 1796, and was with Gen.
Wayne at the time of his death. He became a
resident there, and was noted as a navigator of the
great lakes. When Mackinaw was captured by the
British in 1812, he was present with his vessel, the
" Salina." taken prisoner, and paroled. He was a
second time made prisoner at Detroit, but was soon
paroled unconditionally. He was of great service
in fitting out Perry's fleet on Lake Erie, and was
with the expedition under Com. Sinclair that at-
tempted to recapture Mackinaw. After the war he
was in command of the " Washington," and in her
conveyed the troops to Green bay, she being the
first vessel that entered that harbor. Having been
ordered to sea in 1826, he, in preference to going,
resigned his commission as captain in the navy,
but still remained in the employ of the govern-
ment, and President Jackson appointed him com-
mander of a revenue cutter in 1829. He retired
finally from the service in 1849.
DOBBS, Arthur, colonial governor, b. in Ire-
land in 1784: d. in Town Creek, N. C, 28 March,
1765. He had been a member of the Irish parlia-
ment, and M'as known for his attempt to discover
the northwest passage. He became governor of
North Carolina, 1 Nov., 1754, and retained the
office until 1765. He adopted conciliatory meas-
ures toward the Indians, but his administration
was a continued contest with the legislature. His
zeal in behalf of the royal prerogative was thwarted
by the representativ(!S of the people, who did not
hesitate to leave the government expenses unpro-
vided for when the governor insisted upon unpopu-
lar measures. When he attempted to establish the
Anglican church, they were ready to welcome it, so
long as their own vestries were permitted to choose
their ministers ; and when he wished to collect quit-
rents from the people, who were nearly all tenants
of the king, they deferred, from time to time, the
adjustment of the rent-roll. Gov. Dobbs was the
author of " Trade and Improvement of Ireland "
(Dublin, 1729); "Capt. Middleton's Defence"
(1744) ; and "An Account of the Countries Adjoin-
ing to Hudson's Bay" (London, 1748).

He studied in the college of San Ignacio in Guanajuato, and that of San Ildefonso of the city of Mexico, where he was admitted to the bar in 1846, and joined the liberal party. With Zarco and Ignacio Ramirez he wrote for the journal "El Siglo XIX" against the government of Santa Anna, for which he suffered bitter persecution. At the entry of the American troops into the capital in September, 1847, he was taken prisoner while firing from a roof upon the invaders.
In 1850 he retired to Guanajuato, and devoted himself to his profession till 1853, when Gen. Juan Alvarez initiated the revolution consequent on the plan of Ayutla. He joined at Acapulco the headquarters of the revolutionary chief, and remained with him as privy counsellor until the triumph of
