She lived single till she was sixty years old and then married Mr. John (Samuel) Lothrop of Norwich, who lived ten years and then died.

Notes:

The Doane Family Association has done exhaustive research to determine the identity of Deacon John Done, researching everyone with that name who lived during that period who could potentially have been him. As evidence emerged a little at a time, all but one John Done (including alternate spellings) were ruled out, leaving only one. He was referred to in certain documents as John Done "cordwainer", and was born in Alvechurch, Worcestershire (pronounced Allchurch) on 28 May 1592. This conclusion was published by them in 2012. A summary of their research and findings can be viewed here (on the DFA site):
