I am looking for any information on Lethy (spelling maybe Letia) Done who was born Nov. 18, 1825 in Clay County, Ky. She married Thomas Baker Hickey, March 13, 1851.
According to Family Bible, she was a Cherokee Indian. Her father may have been Henry Done who lived in both Clay County and Laurel County. Her first child, Sarah Jane Hickey, was born in Laurel County. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

I am also looking for info on Thomas and Leatie. There son Henry Harrison was my ggggrandfather. I have am searching for Thomas and Leatie parents do you have any info that would help. I have alot on their children and their children. If I can help please let me know. Thanks, Connie

I am also related to Thomas Baker and Leatie Done through their son,Henry Harrison Hickey. I have him born in Laurel, Kentucky about 1817 and Leatie born about 1825 according to the 1850 Census. I have information on the family on down but nothing on Thomas and Leatie's parents. Where did you come up with the info that Leatie may be Cherokee? I would be interested in seeing what you have and I will gladly share my info with you. Contact me at lisapenn@your-net.com

Connie,

The information that I have on Thomas Baker Hickey and Lethy Done is as follows: Thomas Baker Hickey was born March 13, 1820 in Lee County Tenn. and Lethy Done was born November 18, 1825 in Clay County, KY. They were married March 13, 1851. I am spelling her name as it came from the copies of the family bible of A.C.Griffitts and Sarah Jane Hickey Griffitts that I have.My gggrandmother was Sarah Jane Hickey. I have found a Henry Done who could possibly be Lethy's father in the 1830 census of Clay County. Also he was in the land grants of 1832 in Laurel County. Lethy's second child, Sarah Jane Hickey, was born in Laurel County. Also one of Lethy's children was named Henry. I can't prove it but I am still trying to piece together. Also according to the bible record of A.C. and Sarah Jane, Lethy was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian. Thomas Baker Hickey and Lethy Done are listed on the 1860 Census record in Rockcastle County, Kentucky.
Please let me know if you have any other information that might be helpful. My e-mail address is mallard@kvnet.org. Thanks, Mary

Mind me, but I've just started this geneology stuff, but .....hey, are you really a Done? There ain't too many of us out there at least under this spelling anyway.Don't know if we're actually related yet...got to talk to the Dad first, but then again, maybe you can help. My father's name is Raymond Done....Clair Raymond Done, to be exact..he was born in 1928 in the state of Utah and he had a brother by the name of Claine and a sister by the name of Arlene...does that ring a bit of a bell? I've taken it upon myself being the black sheep of the family to research our family on both sides and since my dad is of the Mormon persuasion I figured that it would be easier to start on his side( the church keeps records on every sneeze since the beginning of
Time!).....anyway, please get back to me if any of this blather sounds even remotely familiar.....thanks very much for your time, and take care and hope you have a terrific weekend!!!Sincerely, Alicia Done

You are right--there aren't too many who spell their name Done.

Back in the 1790 US Census for Pennsylvania, there was a Titus Done living in Northumberland County ( the part he lived in is now Lycoming County. He married Mary Colborn, daughter of John Colborn and his wife Sarah Hoagland Colborn. Titus also appears in the 1800 US census in Pennsylvania, and then vanishes.

Mary Colborn had a brother Robert who is my ancestor. He married Edith Doan (Done,Dunn, ?).Mary and Robert's father John Colborn had a son Jonathan Colborn, whose son Thomas Colborn was ordained in the Mormon Church about 1832 in Kirkland, Ohio. That date may not be correct, but he did go to Salt Lake City with his wife and children in 1847, and he died there in abt 1875.

Curious to know if there is any connection. According to information in the Lycoming Historical Society, Titus Done was a Weaver by occupation.

I have a Grandmother who had the maiden name of Annie Done and she married William Rapley in around 1935, I think. They lived in the Ordsall area of Salford and my father was born in 1951, John Rapley. I just wanted to know if anyone could help me find out more about them.

Unfortunately for both of us, I have not been able to make any connections with the DONE Surname Message Board. At the present time I have no information relevant to your time period. MY Edith Done(or Doan, or Dunn) was born in 1776 and came from New Jersey. Titus Done who married one of my ancestor Robert Colborn's sisters, may have gone to Canada. He was a weaver by trade and I have not been able to trace him since 1800 in Pennsylvania.

Sincerely,

Douglas

I might be able to help. My gm was a Done from that area of Salford and I have indexed some of the local Dones. To find out if your Annie Done is related I would need to know your ggf's name and occupation from your grandmothers wedding certificate.
(or someone like a great aunt born before 1901)

Done may be a rare name where you are but it was fairly common in Salford and Manchester ca 1900.

Best regards,
Martin Brown

In case you did not know, there is a Henry Done found in the Washington County, Virginia Militia - 70th Regiment in the years 1815 and 1817
There is also a William Done and John Done found there.
I suspect this is a variant of Doan.
