Dane, Francis (1)
a Congregational minister, was partly educated in England, and completed his theological studies in America. About 1648 he became pastor in Andover, Massachusetts. In March 1682, the Reverend Thomas Barnard became his assistant. During the witchcraft frenzy in 1692, it is said that intimations of Mr. Dane’s implication served somewhat to check the delusion, as it was not believed that so pious a man could be in league with the devil. He died February 17, 1699, aged eighty-one years. See Sprague, Annals of the Amer. Pulpit, 198.
