    I have his father as William H Doak and mother as Sarah Catherine Wilson, this is from the family tree of Woodrow Doak, a great uncle. The family history was that John Nathaniel lived with relatives (Robert Doak and Martha Doak ) most of his childhood. His father was in Mississippi, I don't have a death date or any information beyond Woodrow Doak's history. I can find no information about Sarah Catherine Wilson. His grandparents were John Doak and Mary Foster Doak. There are records for most of this , but the information of William Doak and wife Sarah are unknown to me.
    Do you have more information about Harriett Newell Roark, Which William C Roark is her father and what is the name Newell from? I have seen Harriett's middle name as Elizabeth and Newell.
    Any information you can send me would be graetly appreciated. John Nathaniel is my 3rd great grandfather on my mothers paternal side. Joyce Smith

    response:
    Hi, Joyce.
    I've tried to track this through, but it's not consistent with what I have. That's not to say my info if perfect by any means. The Doaks are complicated to say the least.

    First:
    you said: Lived most of his life with Robert (1785-1821) & Martha (Fielding) Doak:

    Robert died 1821 Wilson co TN and Nathaniel b 1814 - so only 7 when Robert died; so not "most of his life" -- perhaps another Robert?


    you said grandson of John Doak & Mary Foster thru their son William:


    The William I have linked as their son is William Hugh who m Jane Wilson - but that can't be right - that Wm Hugh b too early to be their William. Did a quick Google for Wm Hugh, but nothing readily showing up - just marking him "(not son)" for now.

    To get a visual on this I created a "William H. Doak" to be son of John Doak and Mary Foster -- and attached John Nathaniel as a son. John Nathaniel b 1814 - so his father should have been b abt 1794 which appears that he could be the eldest child of John & Mary Foster Doak.
    `ss

    concluding:
    John Nathaniel is not son of Wm H but is same as Nathaniel, son of Robert who are next to each other in census records.

    John Nathaniel b 1814 Wilson TN
    Nathaniel b bet 1811 and 1820 per 1830 Campbell TN and 1840 Madison Co AR census.

    John Nathaniel's wife (Harriet Roark) b 1813 TN; d AR
    Nathaniel's wife: b bet 1811 and 1820 per 1840 AR census

    John Nathaniel's son b 1848 - so after 1840, when another couple was living with Nathaniel and wife. (male bet 1821 and 1825 and female bet 1826 and 1830)

    Subject: It gets messy before Nathaniel Doak

    The information I have matches what you have back to Nathaniel Doak b. 1814 in Tennessee (Campbell?) d. in 1880 in Madison Co Arkansas (Kings River?) It gets really complex after that.

    Per the Anderson family tree, Nathaniel was the son of Robert Doak (1770-1850) and Nancy Pope (1772-1790). They list Robert's father as David Doak (1710-1787) and his mother as Mary Hanna (1740-1826).

    Per the Chaney family tree, Robert Doak (1770-1850) was married a number of times (Nancy, Isabel Duke and Mary ?) including Nancy Pope. One of their sons was Nathaniel Doak (1814-1850). This family tree also lists Robert's father as David Doak (1702-1787).

    Per the Hornbaker family tree, Nathaniel was the son of Rev John Whitfield Doak (1778-1820) and Jane Alexander (1773-1840). I question this connection as the Doak line of the Rev. John Whitfield Doak is very well documented. The Descendants of James Doak and The Genealogy of the Emigrant Doaks (Notable Southern Families, Volume VI) and neither lists a son named Nathaniel.

    Per the Strickland family tree, Nathaniel was the son of Robert Doak and Nancy Pope. They list Robert's father as David Doak and his mother as Mary Polly (1730-1765). This tree lists David Doak's father as James Doak (1670-1727) and his mother as Elizabeth ? (1674-1713). It lists James Doak's father as Samuel Doak and his mother as Widow Doak.

    In The Descendants of James Doak, David Doak (born in Antrim Co., Ireland and died 02 Oct 1787) was married to Mary? and had a son named Robert, but they don't have anything about Robert son of David.

    In The Genealogy of the Emigrant Doaks (Notable Southern Families, Volume VI) Samuel Doak, lived and died in County Antrim of the Province of Ulster, Ireland. His sons, John, Narthaniel, Robert, David and Samuel with their sister Thankful emigrated to America about 1740.

    Emigrant David Doak per his will probated Oct 2, 1787 mentions wife Mary, sons David, Samuel, Nathaniel, William, James, Robert, Thomas, Alexander and John; daus, Elizabeth, Jane, Mary and Margaret.

    I think we are solid back to Nathaniel Doak b. 1814 in Tennessee. After that, as best as I can determine, his parents were Robert Doak and Nancy Pope. I think Robert's parents were David Doak and Mary ? (Hanna or Polly?) David was the son of Samuel and emigrated to America about 1740. This differs from what you have in that I think Robert may be descended from David rather than from Robert Doak who was David's brother.

    Let me know if you think my conclusions are valid or not. I can't prove any of it.

    note:
    Since Robert is approximately 59 in this year, then any possible older childen could have left the home to marry and/or migrate. The only other Doak household in Campbell Co. is that of son David, b. 1806, who is married and living next door to his mother-in-law Elizabeth Jones Basham.
    He seems to have a fairly recently deceased wife to judge by the age scatter of his children, so may be in the market for another wife to raise the younger children.

    Research Notes:
    There are records that indicate Robert, son of David, died in 1774; but David left land to "son Robert" in 1787 - explanation is that there was a 2nd Robert, named after the deceased 1st Robert.

    Also, records seem to indicate a 3rd Robert, b bet 1779 and 1780 who also seems to be son of David (i). With this birth date, he would be son of David's 2nd wife, Mary (..)
    (see Robert (I53217)


    Here are some thoughts on why that doesn't seem likely and that David had only one Robert, and the one who died in 1774 was somebody else - perhaps the immigrant.:


    robert doak (elder Robert - maybe imm?)
    b bef 1746 (c 1720 is certainly before)

    signed petition 1767-1768
    died 1774
    father's will 1787
    "my Sons Robert & Thomas have that part of the Patent Land
    that Lies on the South side of Reed creek to be Equally [sic] Divided Between them" (linking Robert & Thomas, so they're close in age, grown sons, not little kids.
    If the Robert mentioned in the will was named after his deceased brother Robert - he would be no more than 13 when the will was written. This is just not likely.)

    1773 tithables: New River (what county is that?)
    "Captain Doak's list, as David Doack and son David. Robert, William, and Samuel Doak were listed separately (Kegley, p. 29)."
    (Thomas is probably just short of age to show up on 1773 tithables with the other brothers; so born c1753 or after. so if he was at least 21 when his father died, (1766) then born approximately bet 1753 and 1766

    entries about Wolf Hill Track 1769
    These events are ascribed to Robert, son of David, however, I think these apply to an older Robert, perhaps immigrant Robert (see Robert Doak b c 1720). For these events to belong to this Robert, he would have had to be older than William, even first born, and David's will does not imply that to be the case.

    These entries from 1767-1770 have been ascribed to the elder Robert Doak, son of David, who died in 1774; but it doesn't seem logical. For now, I'm looking at the possibility that they are instead referring to the Immigrant Robert.

    3/1767-3/1768, Robert and William Doack signed an Augusta Co. petition. (S) Chronicles, P497.

    6/22/1769, Following recommended for appointment as Justices: Robert Doage (S) Chronicles P157. [Robert a licensed surveyor and Justice of the Peace of Fincastle Co. (now Wythe Co.)]

    8/16/1769, Following recommended as Justices, viz: Robert Doage (S) Chronicles, P158.

    1769, Robert Doke said he was agent for Dr. Thomas Walker to lay off the Wolf Hill tract. In November same year he went and chose a tract and built a cabin on it and in 1770 moved there.

    1772, Robert on list of Tithables for Capt. Doak's Company as David Doack's son.

    Bef. 5/2/1775, Robert died. (S) Brother William granted Letters of Administration for his estate.

    http://www.teachergenealogist007.com/2010/03/bell-248.html

    - these must be events of the older Robert. They indicate a mature man. I do think the younger Robert was born bef 1752, but not that much before, and he was closer in age to the brothers mentioned together in the tithables of 1773.


    There is a marriage license:
    3/28/1774, Robert Doack issued a marriage license in Augusta Co -- Doubtful that Robert who died in 1774 was a newly wed.
    This newlywed Robert is said to be Robert who died in 1774's son. Maybe. But David's Robert would be right age to marry in 1774, as well.

    4/18/1787, Militia officers recommended: Captains, Robert Doak. (S) Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in VA, P249.
    This entry is also ascribed to a son of the elder Robert, which could be the case, but again, it could be David's Robert.

    What I'm coming up with is David's oldest child was Wm, b bef Nov 1747 (christening date) and his last child was probably Mary b aft 1776 (she's younger than the 3 girls who were under 18 in 1787 at the time of the will.) If David had Wm at, say, 25, then b c1722; 54 when Mary born and dying at age ~62, which is a good age to have grown kids and kids still at home. I think estimating his age at 1710 is maybe too early. He was more likely closer to the younger of the immigrant children.

    Lastly, perhaps one wrench the mix is the entry:
    Bef. 5/2/1775, Robert died. (S) Brother William granted Letters of Administration for his estate.

    My #1 question on this is who included the words "brother William"?
    Since Robert and William Doak (I believe uncle and nephew) signed the petition earlier in 1767, it's easy to assume they were brothers, then seeing a William as administrator of the will would lead one to think the same William and conclude a brother. There is no William immigrant known of; so William, son of David, could have been admin for his uncle, though, granted, that's not a likely scenario. Does the document say "brother"? Was it inserted later?
    With all the considerations laid out above, this mention of brother William, which we don't know where it came from, and considering the fact that there are certainly some Doaks that we haven't found yet -- this isn't enough to adjust everything else to try to fit this "brother William" citation.

    Research Notes:
    Calculations of ages of children based on the following:
    1 Martha - but she has to go (Martha's husband, children, etc, need to be worked through, but she is likely too told to be a child of this family.

    2. William bef Nov 1747 have bt. date - oldest.
    3. David Jr. bef 1752 (tithables 1773 so at least 21) - so make him 1749
    4. Robert bef 1752 - (tithables 1773 so at least 21) so make him 1751
    5. Samuel bef 1752 - (tithables 1773 so at least 21) so make him 1752
    6 James abt 1754 - (deputy sheriff in 1779; so at least 25; make him 1754
    7. Thomas bet 1753-1766 - not mentioned in 1773 tithables with brothers so not quite of age; make him 1766
    8. Nathaniel bef 1762 - assigned by father to keep family together; so at least 25; make him 1758
    9. John bef 1762 - assigned by father to keep family together; so abt make him 1760
    10 Alexander - has a given age 1763

    greatest gap of ages for a new mother. Alex
    is probably from first wife, Mary Breckenridge, daughter of Alexander Breckenridge.

    her death date has been shown to be 1762, but not knowing where 1762 death for her came from and Alex Doak b 1763 - could be a little mistake in a record here or there, to have her maybe dying at childbirth for him.

    If that's correct, that's having Mary Breckenridge bearing 9 kids, 1st b 1747, making her b c 1729; (prob after Breckenridge immig in 1728); dying at age 36. All Alexander's kids are abouts, and they're right in that same age range as Mary would be.

    With those calculations, David likely married 2nd wife abt 1767, also a Mary, as his widows is named Mary in his will.
    She's known to have died in 1826. Allowing her to be abt 25; so born about 1743 and dying 84.

    11. Margaret aft 1766 - it's said that 5 kids were under 21 when David's will was written; so that make her born after 1766 - probably 1768, closer to Elizabeth.
    12 Eliz abt 1770 has to be <18 make her 17
    13 Sarah abt 1772 make her 15
    14 Jane abt 1774 make her 14
    15 Mary abt 1776 make her 12 (she only got a little money, must be the youngest)

    Research Notes:
    Settlers of Augusta County state David and Samuel, brothers, acquired acres in 1806 and is brother of Samuel who acquired land in 1741; and they were both sons of Samuel Doak, the Immigrant. So how is David with the will the same David?

    David Doak (Beverley Manor SW, 100 acres, 1755, adjoining 300 acre tract acquired earlier in February 1746 from George & Robert Breckenridge and also adjoining tract of Samuel Doak (647 acres, 1741) and Samuel and David Doak (220 acres acquired in 1806). (b. bet. 1705-1710, Ireland, d. 2 Oct. 1787, Montgomery County, VA), brother of Samuel Doak, listed below, and son of Samuel Doak, Sr. (b. abt. 1670, Ulster, Ireland) and his wife Elizabeth.

    GOOD MORNING FROM VIRGINIA,
    We don't have the tombstone itself, but we the transcription from the Kegley Room at the Wytheville Community College where the inscriptions of more than 17,000 tombstones have been compiled. According to records David
    1710-1787...in parentheses June 11. Mary 1736-1826 (in peaentheses August 19. Notes say David was age 77, husband of Mary Doak. Compare group sheet compiled by Doris Hickox 1979. For Mary it says aged 90, also known as Polly, wife of David and the same note about Doris Hickox who did
    considerable study of the Doaks. That may be available there. I will try to get the E-mail for you and send it later.

    Mary K.
