"Josiah took over his (Trader William Doak, Doaks Stand) business with the Choctaw's following his death and later opened Doaksville as a community in the Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory"....
clearly William's brother... "It is highly unlikely that the Choctaw's would have been so receptive to William's cousin (which Josiah would have been if William was the son of James Wilson Doak). Wiliam, however, was considered a kinsman by the Choctaw due to the wife or concubine he had taken, who was the daughter or niece of Mingo Apukshunnubbee. Therefore, his brother, although having just one wife who was white, would still be accepted. A cousin is doubtful."

"Josiah, son of William & Ann and a younger bro of Trader William Doak, is named in his father's will as Josiah (no middle name/initial)
He was also very much involved with the Choctaw.
The Feds paid for him (and family) to accompany the Choctaw on their 'Trail of Tears'
He was 'conductor of the Choctaw delegation' for the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek'
He (co-)founded Doaksville
He fathered the first white child born in Indian Territory
He was almost certainly Josiah S(tuart) Doak
His son, William H Doak, was a Captain in Clarkson's Battalion during the (un)Civil War - the Union regarded him as one of the two most dangerous men operating in Indian Territory on the Confederate side."

Other-Begin:
The Nueces County slave records 1846-1854,Vol B, on reel 1012697 indicate that on September 5, 1854 Milford P. Norton obtained a deed of Henry Kinney for a Negro woman whose name cannot be determined on the documents and her son Harrison, both of whom were living with J. S. Doakes (sp) in Nueces County at that time. According to other records, Norton practiced law and later became a Texas state judge in Refugio, TX. Prior to or at the same time of his judicial appointment, he managed the business affairs of Kinney while Kinney was out of the country in Nicaragua. On the same reel, records 4 years later in August and September of 1858 indicate that Kinney did not own the two aforementioned slaves but instead only held them in trust for Josiah Doaks and that Doaks was their legal owner. Therefore they could not be conveyed to Norton. In these documents, it is stated that Doak requested the release from the trust of "the yelllow boy," Harrison, whose mother Susan, was now dead. Norton and Kinney agreed to give up any legal rights to Harrison. A 14 year old Mulatto male is listed on the slave census of 1860 as belonging to J.S. Doak (sp).
It is not known how or why Harrison assumed the surname of Mays.

Classification: Query
Surnames: Doak
I just found the Applications for Enrollment of the Commission to the Five Civilized Tribes, 1898-1914 on Footnote and found the application for Josiah Doak's son, Alexander V. Doak. In it some of the questions and answers regarding Josiah Doak are as follows:
Q "When did Jo Doak die?" A "About 1873".
Q "Where did he die, do you know?" A "He died about twelve miles above Corpus Christi."
Q "In Texas?" A "yes sir."
Q "You don't remember exactly the date of his death?" A "No sir."
Q "Is that in any of your papers?" A "No sir."
Q "What was his age when he died?" A "About eighty six."
So now I am convinced that Josiah Doak, father of William H., Malvina Doak (she is mentioned in one of the applications, too), A. V. Doak, Joseph D. Doak and Jonathan Doak, was living in Nueces County, Texas in 1850 and 1860 and probably through to his death around 1873, according to his son Alexander.
Josiah married Elizabeth Annie Dresser on 27 Apr 1827 in Madison Co, Mississippi, and was divorced on 11 Jun 1850 in Texas. Elizabeth was born in 1810 in Virginia; died after 1850 in of, McKinney, Collin Co, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
