Robert married Hannah Breckenridge on 11 Aug 1760 in Lunenburg Co, Virginia. Hannah (daughter of Alexander* Breckenridge, (Immigrant) (son?) and Jane* Preston, (Immigrant)) was born about 1735; died after 1780. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Research Notes: 9 Jan 2015

Notes:

Wife of Robert Doak said to be sister to Robert Breckenridge (not verified as wife or daughter). Ralph Doak thinks maybe Hannah.


Research Notes:
She is shown in some places as Hannah Armstrong; however Hannah Armstong who married a Robert Doak was born too late to be this Hannah.
She is also shown to be Hannah Breckenridge. This is credible and more reasonable.

Looking at the census record for Robert in 1790 he's living near Roddy Hannah. Going back to my file and looking at those named Roddy

- There are two Roddy Breckenridges that go back to Geo & Ann Doak.
- Prudence Roddy Doak comes from line John Doak & Mary Wilson(?)
- Roddy Doak comes from John Doak & Mary Wlison(?)
- Roddy Hannah goes back to John & Mary Wilson (?)
- Roddy Kirkman B 1813 m Nancy Doak (1809). I do not have the Kirkman line entered but he is from Maryland; so just a coincidence on him. His name is Rodger.

Records say "Robert Doak thought to have married Hannah Breckenridge sister to Robert Breckenridge" -- Robert who is in 1790 census living hear Roddy Hannah is also son of Geo and Ann.

I am adjusting Hannah to be wife of our subject Robert instead of a supposed Robert (immigrant)(?) we don't know who he is yet. It's not positive, but makes more sense. I have a lot of records on this Robert Doak (Immigrant)(?) - so more needs to be gone through.

Robert married Nancy Hanner on 31 Jul 1778 in Guilford Co, North Carolina. Nancy (daughter of Robert Hanner and Nancy Paisley) was born on 5 Jun 1790 in Guilford Co, North Carolina; died on 8 Feb 1852 in Guilford Co, North Carolina; was buried in Buffalo Presbyterian Church, Greensboro, Guilford Co, North Carolina.
