The DONEY / DONY family tree

This Doney family originated in the Liskeard area of Cornwall, England in the 1600s. The major villages were: St. Neot, St. Cleer, St. Pinnock, St. Ive, and Lerryn. Some were miners. I n the late 1820s early 1830s many of these Doneys emigrated to Beach Lake in Pennsylvania, America where they set up homesteads on which they farmed.

Many thanks to Frank Doney for the earliest research and also to Fred Doney who helped me with some of the later information.

The Doneys married the Olvers, Blakes, Varcoes and Daveys from Cornwall.

The Doneys were mainly methodists.

There were other Doneys in Quethiock, Northill, Linkenhorne and Cardinham who are probably related to this line.

Also there is an American Indian Doney line beginning with a Joseph Doney, who was a doctor in England. He went to France and changed his name to Delonais before emigrating to Canada where he reverted to Doney.

The English surname Doney belongs to the group of surnames derived from the place where the original bearer once lived or held land. The surname Doney can be traced to the old English "dun" meaning dark and "(i)ey" meaning island. Thus the surname signifies "one who lived by or near the "dark island".

The earliest written reference to the name Doney and its variants Downey, Downie and Duny dates back to the 14th century. Matthew Dounay is recorded in the Subsidy Rolls of Yorkshire in 1327. Richard alle Dunye appears in the Lofvenberg's work The Study of Middle English Local Names for Surrey in 1330. Justinian Downey is listed in the Protestation Returns of Devonshire in 1642. Mary Doney is recorded in London in September 1731 before emigrating to America in the same year. The form of Downie and Duny are associated with Scotland from the barony of Downey located in the parish of Monikie in the former county of Angus (now part of Tayside). It is derived from the Irish "dun" meaning "hill" and the local suffix "ach". The name Downie is said to be the one of the olderst names in the parish of Kemnay. One of the earliest wriiten records of the surname in Scotland include Duncan de Dunny who witnessed a composition regarding the boundaries between the Lands of Tulloes and Conon in 1254. Alexander Downy or Douny held land from the Abbot of Arbroath in 1330 and Isobel Dewnie is recorded in Brechin in 1675. Ajmes Denwinny was chosen as barlaw man in the barony of Urie in 1620.

The coat of arms described below was borne by the Doney family: Blazon of arms; Vert a chief ermine Translation: vert (green) signifies truth and loyalty. Ermine denotes purity and service Crest: A lion rampant issuant sable Origin: England

Another source says that the name comes from the French d'Auney. The manor in Sheviock, Cornwall (near St Neot) anciently belonged to the family of d'Auney, Dunnye or Dawney. Sir Payn D'Aunay of D'Aunay Castle in Normandy, France came in with William the Conqueror. Sir William D'Aunay was made a general at Acon, now Acre, 4 King Richard 1st 1192. Having slain a Saracen prince and afterwards killing a lion, he cut off its paw and presented it to the King, who, in token of approbation took the ring off his finger and presented it to the knight and ordered that he should bear as his crest a demi-Saracen with a lion's paw in one hand and a ring in the other; the family crest to this day. The ring is still preserved. Sir Nicholas Dawnay, a descendant of the beforenamed, was summoned to parliament as a baron 1 King Edward 111 1328. He was in the holy wars from whence he brought a very rich and curious medal. He died in 1333 and left 2 sons Thomas and John. John settled in Sheviock and was made a Knight-Banneret by King Edward 111 at Cressy. He married Sybil Treverbin. His only child and heir Emmeline b abt 1334, married Edward Courtney and carried the possessions of the Dawneys into the family of Earls of Devon. Emmeline Dawneys tomb can be seen today in Sheviock church.

        property from the Jackson-Lansing Railroad on 8/21, 1882 for $390 per 40 acres. Karslake, a carpenter, first cleared enough space on the first 40 acres to build a barn then built a small shed, 14 x 24 foot with a lean to.  The five older boys slept in the barn. It is thought that Karslake, his wife, baby Arthur and 8 year old Ella lived in the shed until the north-south portion of the home was livable, as there is evidence of a chimney on the back of the shed.  The house was built without studding by laying 18-inch width hemlock planks on the ground horizonally, then nailing like planks vertically, raising the whole wall at once on the Michigan basement foundation.
        William emigrated to the US at age 21 and enlisted in the Infantry of the Civil War for 3 years.  He served at a camp near Harrison Landing, the Fort Pulaski.  The pay was $7.50 per month.  Later, he was naturalized at Honesdale, PA in 1857 where he met and married Frances Ann DONEY on 3/14/1864.
