Archaeologists have uncovered the foundation of an 18th-century building in Newtown Borough.

The building on State Street was involved in a notorious robbery by Bucks County’s Loyalist Doan Gang during the American Revolution...

The find comes 244 years to the day after the October 22, 1781, raid on the Bucks County Treasury, which saw the Doan Gang make off with a large cache of tax money intended to fund the Revolution. They loot included 1,200 Spanish silver dollars and 400 French crowns..

The Doan Gang was a network of Loyalists who supported Great Britain, robbing tax collectors, militia members, and other citizens who backed the Revolutionary cause...
