- James Doak - Son Of Robert of 1718.
Who were Jame's children? Were is the birth record? Where were they born? Was THIS James the James Doak "Warned out" of Boston in 1725?
James had a son James Jr.. There apparently were at least two other sons (Robert and John) and there may have been daughters. James was a farmer and was very active buying and selling land. He did this with modest success. There are many Land Records showing his dealings. On many of these, later in his life, he worked jointly with his Son James Jr.. We know that James married Martha Rankin Sterling (Starling) in Boston in 1726. Martha's maiden name was Rankin and her first marriage was to Hugh Sterling. Her son by that marriage may have lived with her and James Doak while he grew up. The Sterling name may have been fairly well known in Boston. We know that James died in 1776. No other information at this time.
James Doak Jr. - Son of James Doak
There is quite a bit of information on James Jr.. We know he married Janet Boyes and had 9 children. We know the birth dates of the children. We know a lot about one of the children (Robert Doak b. 1780) but we know nothing about the rest of them. James Jr. seems to have disappeared from the record books after 1785 along with all his children except Robert. Where did they all go? When and where did they die? He had three sons, James, John and Robert. What happened to James and John? Did they marry? Did they have children?
Note of (12/01/00) We now know that one of the daughters, Margaret Doak, went to Bradford, Vermont in 1790 and married David Wilson. They had at least one son, David Wilson Jr.. Were there other children?
(Note on 8/5/01) Yes, there were more children - 8 more for a total of nine. We also now know that Martha Doak, Margarets' sister, also went to Bradford, Vermont circa 1795 and married John McDuffe (or McDuffee). She had eleven children.
Bestsy Doak, another sister, married John Orne. Where did they go to live? Were there any children?
(Note as of 8/5/01) The son, James, went to Prospect, Maine near Belfast in 1810 and raised a family. He married Elizabeth Park and had 6 children. He was a ships carpenter and his sons were either Military or Sailors.
As of 6/20/02, we still do not any any information on the son John. He was born 1785 and would have turned 21 in 1806. We are looking for information on any unknown John Doak showing up married or having children from 1806 and 1830.
