Notes:

Ancestry message board:
I've pretty much given up on these message boards - too much unreliable data being presented as 'gospel' - but just thought I'd make clear that (Capt) James Wilson Doak was the son of John Doak and a Mary who is said to have been a Wilson: there's simply no evidence I'm aware of as to her parentage.
Also, it's only an hypothesis that John's father was Robert - personally, I think Robert's son would have been too old to have been the John Doak (my gtgtgtgtgdfather) who made no less than 3 new pioneer starts between about 1740 & 1760.

----------------
James Doak, son of John, of Alamance Church, bought of Rebecca, James and Jean Boyd a farm on Reedy Fork and located there in 1799. He had married Mary, daughter of William Paisley, Sr., in 1775. Their children were Eleanor, Mary, John, Jean, Martha, William P., Robert and James W. Eleanor married Thomas Blair, Jr., 1800; Mary married Alexander Whem. All of these with the exception of James W. went to Tennessee to lands willed them by their father. James Doak, Sr., died in 1806.

-----------------


Property:
Revolutionary war land grant in Rutherford County, Tenn., near Murfreesboro where some of his sons relocated.

Residence:
John on Rowan Co, NC, tax lists - with 2 taxables in 1759 but with Roberd & Jeames named in 1761

Residence:
He and his wife Polly had eight children and moved down the Shannandoah Valley to Guilford County, N.C. by 1775.

Will:
We also have a will for this James Doak, recorded in Greensboro, Guilford County, NC, dated 8 Dec 1805 (File #0108, recorded in Will Book A, at Page 108) and proven at the February, 1806 term of Court.

As noted from the original document by Robert Edward Oakley
the will refers to "all my beloved children" before listing John, Jean, Martha, William P., Robert, and James W. The will leaves to his children, ?my land in Tennessee on west bank of Stones River? and stipulates that his wife Mary is to have first choice of land.

James Wilson Doak is listed by DAR as having received a land grant for service of 1569 acres on the West Fork of Stone River, Rutherford Co, TN
The apparent omission of Eleanor and Mary from their father's will is possibly due to the fact that they were both already married ? their dowries may have been their due portions of their father's estate. There are records of both these marriages.

Mary Paisley the youngest child of William and Elener McLean Paisley was born circa 1750 in Lancaster Co., Pa. Soon after her birth her mother died and her father moved his family to Guilford Co., N.C. where lots of Scots had settled. There in 1775 she married James Wilson Doak, also from Pa. James received bounty lands in Rutherford Co., Tn. (Stones River area)for his Rev. War service and his widow with most of her children moved there, early 1800 or late 1798-99. Their daughter Mary Doak married Alexander McKeen, also a Scot from N.C., and earlier from Pa.
