    • _UID: E8985F01FE4A44D38EDB15CC56243BB3F1A4

    Notes:

    Until someone contacted me questioning the age of Samuel Doak, b. ca 1714 to be the father of Mary, I had overlooked the age feasibility. I blame old eyes and an overworked brain. This Mary Doak was the sister of Samuel Doak. She was the immigrant ancestor for her branch, the daughter of James Doak. I had her mixed up with her niece Mary Doak, the daughter Samuel Doak and Jane Mitchell, who married Abner Weatherby. To add to the confusion, there was another niece named Mary Doak, the daughter of Robert Doak, brother to Mary and Samuel, who married Robert Breckinridge.

    And to make it even more perlexing for their descendants, there were at least two John Tates, both from Augusta Co. VA living at the same time. One married Mary Doak and the other one married Mary Mitchell [sister to Samuel Doak's wife Jane Mitchell] who had several offspring migrate to Russell Co. VA. These are my Tate ancestors. They all came from Ulster, Northern Ireland through Pennsylvania into Augusta Co. VA. They either intermarried and/or were neighbors. They named their children after brothers and sisters to deliberately confuse their descendants. So you may have several Samuel Doaks, John Tates as grandfather, father, son, uncle, brother, or cousin.

    There is evidence based on Augusta Co. land and probate records that indicate Mary's maiden name as Doak.

    The following record indicates Samuel Doak, is the brother of Mary. This Samuel Doak in his will extract names his "brother-in-law John Finley [husband of Samuel's sister Thankful] and John Tate to advise executors." This John Tate is not also named as a brother-in-law, but not having seen the original will and only various abstracts or transcription, it's possible a "s" was left off. The John Tate who married Mary Doak, Samuel's brother-in-law is believed to have died ca 1747. However the John Tate who married Mary Mitchell, sister to Samuel's wife Jane, was living. I believe this is the John Tate named as an adviser to the estate. In addition Mary Doak Tate's sons John Tate, Jr. and William as witnesses to their uncle's will.

    WILL ABSTRACT

    Augusta County, Virginia - Will Book 4, Pgs 497-500

    5th November, 1771. Saml Doak's will, farmer--To wife, Jane; to daughter, Elinor, unmarried; to wife, to have disposal of all household furniture at her Pleasure to her 3 daughters, Elinor, Mary, Isbel; to son, John; to oldest son, David, plantation David now lives on as Robert Doak laid it off; to son, Samuel, plantation at head waters of Rockfish in Amherst; to son, John, plantation testator lives on; to son, Robert, tract testator formerly lived on in Rockfish, joining Capt. Crawford; daughters, Jane and Elizabeth. Executors, wife Jane, son David, son-in-law Wm. Brown. Brother-in-law John Finley and John Tate to advise executors. Teste: John and James Mitchel, William Tate, John Tate, Jr. Proved, 19th May, 1772. by James Mitchel and the Tates. David Doack qualifies with John Tate. Nathaniel Steel.

    "Know all men by the Presents that we David Doack John Tate and Nathaniel Steel are held and firmly bound unto James Lockart John Poage Abraham Smith Samuel McDowell Justices in the Commission of the Peace for Augusta County for and in behalf of the Justices of the said County and their Successors in the sum of five Hundred Pounds to be Paid to the said Justices and their Successors which Payment well and truly to be made we bind ourselves and each of us our and every of our heirs Executors and Administrators Jointly & Severally firmly by these Presents Sealed with our seals and dated this 19th day of May 1772"

    Augusta Co. VA records show numerous links among the Tate and Doak families, indicating close relationships between them.

    However, DNA is providing clarity for her ancestry indicating she descended from Samuel/James Doak.

    So in conclusion, Mary Doak married a John Tate, just not the one who's the father of the Russell Co. VA Tates. I appreciate the opportunity to look at my research again. Please understand this a work in progress and I will probably revise it again as I get more information.
