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.

| three Roberts? |
- 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.

| Notes |
- ROBERT Doak (ii) Born between late 1779 and 5 Aug 1780, he was in Washington County, Tennessee in 1803. With a wife named Polly, he was listed in Campbell Co, Tennessee by 1808. In 1820, "of Campbell County, Tennessee", he and his then wife, Nancy H Doak, sold a third interest in land in Jefferson County, Tennessee, inherited from Nancy's father, John Pope. Robert moved to Madison County, Arkansas with his third wife, Rachel Pharis, and then to Osage Twp, Carroll County, Arkansas, where he confused the census-takers in 1850 before dying prior to the 1860 census
