Doak Family

Samuel Doak (and some of his brothers and sisters) immigrated about 1740 to East Nottingham Township, Chester Co., Pennsylvania and moved to Augusta Co., Virginia. He married Jane Mitchell and died in 1772.

"Samuel and Elizabeth (Malseed) Doak came from Ireland to the State of Pennsylvania about the year Eighteen Hundred, thence into Virginia (now West Virginia) in Eighteen hundred Twenty-four. They purchased a farm ... at Central Station, Doddridge County; but soon sold this farm ... They removed with their family into Ohio from which State [sic] they returned after a little more than a year had elapsed, and settled permanently on Middle Island Creek, near Joseph's Mills in Tyler County, over the hill from the present town of Deep Valley."--Page 3. Descendants lived in Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and elsewhere
