Join the William Tennent House Association in welcoming Clint Flack and Annie Halliday of the Mercer Museum, as they present “By Force and Arms” which is the second part of the Doan Gang of Bucks County series. The presentation will take place on Saturday, February 25th, from 7:00 to 9:00pm, in the Auditorium at the Neshaminy-Warwick Presbyterian Church located at 1401 Meetinghouse Road, Warminster.
The Doan Gang was a group of British loyalists, the most notorious members being five brothers and one cousin from the Doan family of Plumstead. The gang was composed of around 30 members who were accused murderers, attainted traitors, horse thieves, and ferried British prisoners of war to British lines.
This presentation will focus on the story of the famous Newtown Treasury robbery in October 1781. It will also cover other important robberies and events leading up until October 1782.
