Would like to find information on William MARTIN Sr. of Augusta Co. Va. who had several sons who went to Woodford Co. Kentucky in 1780's and 1790's.

Boys names were James, Henry, Hugh, Samuel and William Jr. and all born circa 1760 to 1772. One or more of them were Rev. War veterans and Wm jr. was married to Letitia MCCLANAHAN. Thanks . Harold W. Rarden

His wife Nancy was born about 1794 and died about 1836. After our male DUNKLE died, Nancy remarried to a William Gragg, Jr. born Augusta County April 15, 1758 (this his second marriage)and moved to Ashe County, NC where Harvey GRAGG (my wife's great grandfather) was born in 1827. Nancy and William may have had three male children born between 1815 and 1820. The 1820 Census should have listed a Male DUNKLE as Head of Household at age 26, with a female at age 26 and perhaps three male children 0 to 9. It is Nancy's last name and parents that I seek. Can you help, even if it is only locating them in the wilderness!!

DOACK, DOAK, ROGERS posted by Diana Hermann on Monday, November 16, 1998

The following information was sent to me by a researcher with a book on the history of Tazewell County, VA. Since it also mentioned Augusta County, I thought perhaps someone doing research on that county could provide me with more information: Robert Doack and William Doack were among serveral men who petitioned the County Court of Augusta to alter and admend the old road "leading from Captain Ingles' Ferry to James Davis' on the head of the Holston River . ." Petition was in 1768. In 1768 Robert Doack sewed turnips on Reed Creek, but made no settlment. . . In 1769 the whole section embracing the head waters and sources of the New River, Clinch, Holston, and Powell Rivers were erected into a separate county, and the surveyor was ordered to run the dividing line between Augusta and Botetourt as far as th western waters. Robert Doack was Dr. Thomas Walker's agent for the Wolf Hill Tract . . ." I am trying to find link between these Doacks and a Robert Doak who married Rachel Thompson in Tazewell County in 1801 and then link to Senia Doak who married Gilbert Rogers in in Tazewell County in 1829. Gilbert and Senia Rogers were my grgrgrgrandparents.

I'm told one of them was married several times, but I don't know which. Mrs. W.D. WILSON of Waynesboro,Va., Mrs. Dan WOOD of Lynchburg, VA., and Mrs. Howard BALSER (?) of Goshen, Va. This was in 1951 when James died. I think the Balsers moved to Goshen, Va. and then James later moved to live with his aunt and uncle N.E. and Mary HARLOW in Leaksville, NC some time around 1910 (He was about 23 at the time) He married Annie HARDY in 1914.
