doan outlaws

the doane outlaws were a notorious gang of brothers from a quaker family most renowned for being british spies during the american revolution .
the doanes were loyalists from a quaker family of good standing .
the `` doane boys '' reached manhood at the time of the american revolutionary war .
growing up in plumstead , pennsylvania , the doans excelled athletically .
the doan gang 's principal occupation was robbing whig tax collectors and horse theft .
the gang stole over 200 horses from their neighbors in bucks county that they sold to the red coats in philadelphia and baltimore .
the friends meeting house 's cemetery in plumsteadville is protected by a field stone wall that runs around its perimeter .
levi and abraham doan were buried just outside this wall because the pacifist quakers refused to bury militants within their graveyard -lrb- a veteran of the civil war is likewise buried outside the graveyard perimeter -rrb- .
the graves are adorned with their original native brownstone headstones which bear no inscriptions , following the quaker practice at the time of their death , as well as newer headstones that identify them as outlaws .
