Samuel is one of the early settlers of Augusta Co. VA, his family's immigration history is murky.
Elaine M Doak Special Collections Librarian/Archivist Pickler Memorial Library Truman State University, Kirksville, MO has put a lot of time into research.
"Here's what we've got on the 1st couple of Doak generations in America. There are basically 2 versions of the "transitional" generations.
One is that Samuel Doak, who remained in Ireland, had a son James who came to PA w/ wife Elizabeth and several children almost any year between 1720 & 1740 (depending on which source you read). The other version is that Samuel himself was the immigrant, same time span. I have yet to see any PROOF of either version. The truth is that we have no idea who the father of the group I call the "immigrant generation" was.
My brother & I went to Chester & Lancaster Cos PA summer before last & came up w/ a lot of nothing -- except more questions. Some records cited by earlier researchers do not exist. Those that do exist do not prove that the Doak family in that area during the 1720-40 time period was the same Doak family to later settle in Augusta Co VA. There are some similarities of given names which COULD indicate they are our Virginians, but they could also indicate they are the Doaks who are to be found a few years later further north in PA.
We did find a James Doke who signed a 1729 petition to create Lancaster Co out of Chester Co. This was the only reference to James we found. It's curious that while Doaks seem to repeat given names over & over, there are no Jameses in the Augusta Co group. That's not proof of anything; it's just an observation.
Some published sources cite a 1727 Chester Co Orphan's Roll which mentions Elizabeth Doak & son David. The County Archivist tells us that all records where were extant as late as about 1900 are still there but this particular entry could not be found. What was the REAL source of the original citation? Also, if Elizabeth's husband was James why would she & her son appear on an orphan's roll 2 years before he signed the 1729 petition? BTW, an orphan is a child whose father is deceased; the mother could still be living. We found a 1726 tax roll listing John Doak & Mother (again, no father?), but the name Elizabeth does not appear there or on any record we could find in either county.
The "immigrant generation" of siblings was Samuel, John, David (the youngest, probably born here), Thankful, Mary, Ann, & Robert. I think there may be a couple more names added to various versions; I seem to have forgotten to bring the list w/ me today. Of that group, we found POSSIBLE mention of John & Samuel in PA. We were unable to find Thankful's marr to John Finley which is supposed to be there, but PA didn't require marr licenses or bonds till the 1850s, so if the record is there it's probably in some church's files. It would be impossible to cover all of these lines, so I'm going to stick to ours.
It is highly unlikely that "Immigrant Sam", as we call him, and Jane Mitchell were married during the voyage from Ireland as is so often reported. If the Doaks in Lancaster Co were ours, they were there as early as 1726 when John & mother appeared on the tax roll. (We're assuming, of course, that this John and our Sam were brothers.) John also appears on 1733 & 1734 grand jury panels. The earliest record we found of Samuel was 1737, when he also was on the grand jury, so it's possible he immigrated as late as 1736 (even tho this was a lot later than mother & brother).
Sam's wife was Jane (confirmed by his Will), supposedly the daughter of Thomas & Eleanor Mitchell of Lancaster Co (not proved). If Jane was, in fact, Thomas & Eleanor's dau, evidence exists to suggest she was unmarried & living in her father's home in Lancaster at the time of his death--still unmarried AFTER the voyage. Thomas's Will (Lancaster Co Will Book A, Vol 1, pg 17) does not say she is unmarried, but seems to imply such by naming part of the family's livestock as hers, not her husband's. It also does not list her w/ the Doak surname. All this is strictly circumstantial, of course. The Will written 14 May 1734 lists the following family members: "...son John Mitchell & my Wife Elloner Mitchell...Elldest Daughter Martha..Second Daughter Mary ...[to] third Daughter Jean one two year Old mear and one year old Heffer and all the sheep Called her own...Fourth Daughter Jenat...my brother John Mitchell..."
1736 has been reported as Sam & Jane's marriage date; that seems to be in the ball park (their first child was born ca 1738) but it would have been in PA, not aboard ship. This is likely an unprovable date, as are their dates of birth. The Sam on the grand jury in 1737 had to have been at least 21, therefore born no later than 1716.
Sam & Jane moved to VA ca 1739; he sold his property in Lancaster no later than May of that year and began to appear in August Co records as early as 1740. His August Co property in Beverley Manor borders the west side of the present-day village of Greenville. Sam died there between 5 Nov 1771 and 19 May 1772, the dates his Will were written & proved in Court (Augusta Co Will Book 4, pg 497). The Will lists the following family members: "Jane my Dearly beloved Wife...Daughters viz Elinor, Mary & Isabel...son John...oldest son David...son Robert...daughters Jane and Elizabeth...son in law William Brown...brother in law John Finley..."You may read in the course of your research about a controversy over the wording of Sam's Will as copied to the Will Book, which reads "brothers in law John Finley and John Tate". While the word brother is plural, the "s" is in a different handwriting & different ink. Some say the plural proves the marriage of Sam's sister Mary to John Tate. When or why the "s" was added I don't know, but added it was. Since the original Will no longer exists, we don't know if the addition was an honest attempt to correct to record book to the actual wording of the Will or if it was added at a later date to prove the Doak-Tate marriage (as some suggest). Lyman Chalkley did not pick it up in his 1911 abstracts which gives one the idea it may have been added during the 20th Century."

Samuel McDowell was one of the Early Settlers of Augusta Co. Va.
BIOGRAPHY
From Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_McDowell
He was a soldier and early political leader in Kentucky. He was the son of Captain John McDowell and grandson of Ephraim McDowell, a Scots-Irish patriot in the English Revolution of 1688. Captain McDowell relocated his family to Virginia in 1737.
He was the father of Dr. Ephraim McDowell, the first physician in the world to successfully remove an ovarian tumor.
Samuel McDowell participated in three major wars. He served under George Washington in the French and Indian War, served as an aide-de-camp to Isaac Shelby in Lord Dunmore's War, and was part of Nathanael Greene's campaign in the Revolutionary War. Following the Revolutionary War, he relocated to Kentucky and became a surveyor. Later, he was appointed one of the first district court judges in what would become the state of Kentucky. He became a leader of the movement to separate Kentucky from Virginia, presiding over nine of the state's ten constitutional conventions.
Samuel McDowell was well-educated in his youth, at one time studying under Archibald Alexander. In 1743, his father died and he inherited the entire estate, according to the tradition of primogeniture, but chose to divide the estate with his brother and sister.
At age twenty, McDowell participated in the French and Indian War. He was captain of a company, serving under George Washington at Braddock's Defeat at the Battle of the Monongahela. Later, he served in Lord Dunmore's War, participating in the Battle of Point Pleasant with future Kentucky governor Isaac Shelby. Shelby later appointed McDowell as his aide-de-camp. For his service in the war, he was awarded a large tract of land in Fayette County, Kentucky in 1775.
At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, McDowell was commissioned a colonel over a regiment from Augusta County. He participated in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse while serving under General Nathanael Greene. His son John also participated in this battle. The elder McDowell was present at Charles Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown.
Following the war, McDowell presided over a 1782 convention that framed a constitution for the independent territory of Kentucky. He presided over nine of the ten conventions that drafted the first Kentucky Constitution.
OBITURARY
Washington Review and Examiner (Pa.) Nov. 5, 1817
Another Revolutionary Patriot gone.
Died near Danville (Ken.) on the 25th Sept. last, Col. Samuel McDowell, in the 85th year of his age. He was distinguished as a most active Whig during the Revolutionary War--was one of the first settlers of Kentucky--a member of the convention which adopted our constitution--was a judge under the district court system, and afterwards a circuit judge. He has left more than one hundred descendants; and was distinguished for his piety, unsullied integrity, practical patriotism and industrious habits. He lived long and usefully, died serene and happy.--Argus

Samuel R. Campbell, a son of Alexander, was born between Brownsburg and Fairfield in 1766 and died at his country home, Rock Castle, in 1840. He was a graduate of Liberty Hall Academy in 1788 and studied medicine at Philadelphia. His medical practice was large, and he was much respected in his profession. Yet he found time to bring his strong civic spirit into play. He was a firm friend to Washington College and he took a leading part in establishing the Franklin Society. Doctor Campbell was a witty, cultured gentleman and good writer. In his later years he lost his eyesight, although he continued to ride the highways, humorously caution those he met to look out or he would ride over them. It was he who built the Stone Rock Castle which was burned. In 1794 he was married to Sarah, a sister to Doctor Archibald Alexander. His four sons were graduates of Washington College. All went West and all became eminent. His daughter, Sophia, married Robert McCluer in 1816. The other daughters married John S. Wilson and the Reverend Nathaniel C. Calhoun. Two of the three husbands were also graduates of Washington College.

Sedgeberrow is a village and civil parish in the Wychavon district of Worcestershire, England, about 3 miles south of Evesham. It stands beside the River Isbourne, a tributary of the River Avon.
It is an ancient Anglo Saxon manor from around 777 AD. The Domesday Book recorded that Seggesbarwe was held by the monks of Worcester Priory. In 1539-40, around the time of John's birth the Crown dissolved the Priory and in 1542 it granted Segebarowe to the Dean and Chapter of Worcester Cathedral.

Died Camden Co. GA according to some sources.
Samuel bought and sold land in NC and was a member of the Onslow Co., NC Militia. He also had a land grant in SC and GA.
1754, Oct 25 Onslow County, NC Militia has a Samuel listed as a Sgt. in Capt. Hick's Company: "NC Colonial & State Records", Vol XXII, p339.
1755, Jan 17 Onslow Co. NC - Samuel witnessed a will of Alen Gray, probated Jul 1755: "NC Will Abstracts, 1660-1790", Ancestry.com.
LAND RECORDS
1756 Onslow Co., NC Samuel Alexander sold land in Onslow to Thomas Alberton (Albritton): "Records of Onslow Co., NC" Vol 1, Zae Hargett Gwynn.
1758, Apr 28 Duplin Co., NC, a survey for 130 acres was ordered for land adjoining Samuel Alexander's home place [Rev. Samuel Alexander, his father]. Samuel was a survey chain carrier along with James Castellaw, brother to Samuel's mother Bethia Castellaw.
NOTE: The land grants were not free with money having to be paid upon application, and each step until the final issuing of the grant. The application process required the applicant to supply two able-bodied men to carry the chain for the surveyor. To save money, the applicant generally used his sons, brothers, other available relatives, or friendly neighbors for this purpose.
1760, Feb 22 Duplin Co., NC, Samuel Alexander sold plantation "I now live upon" - 150 acres N. side of Goshen Swamp; probably the above "home place" which he bought from Moses Tyler, bounded by land of Thomas Castellaw. Abstracts Sampson - Duplin Deeds, Books 1-3, Duplin Co., NC.
1760, Feb 22 Duplin Co., NC, Samuel Alexander sold 130 acres N. side Goshen Swamp on Fryer's Branch joining said Alexander's home place. This corresponds with the time period that the two Samuels moved into South Carolina and Georgia. Abstracts Sampson - Duplin Deeds, Books 1-3, Duplin Co., NC.
1760, Sep 2 & Oct 21 Granville Co., South Carolina, survey ordered for Samuel Alexander, Sr. on Sep 2 and completed Platt dated 21 Oct, 250 acres on Savannah River, "butting and bounding to ye S East on lands laid out to Sam'l Allexander Jun"
1762, Dec St. George Parish, Georgia, Petition for land by Samuel Alexander who said that he had no land granted him, prays council for 100 acres on Savannah River in Halifax Dist. He has two slaves. Petition granted - Colonial Records of the State of Georgia, Vol 8 Allen D. Chandler 1907, p766.
1764, Jun St. George Parish, Georgia, the Governor signed a grant to Samuel Alexander on this date for 48 acres. "Col. Rec. of State of Georgia", Allen Chandler, 1907, Vol 9, p187.
1765, Sep 27 Granville Co., South Carolina Samuel Jr. received a grant for 200 acres; the Castellaw family also received land just below there on the Savannah River at the same time.
History of Burke County, 1777-1790", Albert M. Hillhouse, p106. 1771, Dec - Georgia; Read petition of Samuel Alexander setting forth that he, with sundry others, wanted a quantity of land where they might settle together and be enabled to support the worship of God according to the form of the the Church of Scotland, which being the petitioner's religious profession. They had found the land in the lands recently ceded by the Cherokees and had no doubt that if they had sufficient land they would be immediately joined by a considerable number of Presbyterians from other Provinces. Asked for a quantity of land about 20 miles square on the Ogeechee for a township. Petition rejected as premature. [Chandler Vol 12, p143].
Apparently he or another Alexander did get the grant as per the following: "The Village of Alexander. Sometime after the opening of the Quaker Road in 1769, and before 1842, a concentration of farmers and planters took place in the vicinity. By 1842 the area was already known as the "Alexander Community". The name derived from the Alexander family; its possible that this was Samuel Alexander, the pioneer and head of the family for whom the Alexander settlement in Burke County was named.. He came to the province in 1760 and received land grants in 1762 an 1764......."

Several sources have come forward with information that the Emeline's first three children was a Gillespie from Pounding Mill or the community of Gillespie" between Pounding Mill (about two miles to the west) and Cliffield in Tazewell Co. Va.
It seems that Emeline was living in Liberty and the gap or short cut over the mountain leads over to Laurel Gap from the Pounding Mill area and then to Liberty. This would have been been less than three miles by horseback.
A granddaughter of Emeline remarked to her grandson as they were traveling through Pounding Mill that Emeline's first children was fathered by a Gillespie, but did not know his first name. Emeline and this man reportedly traveled to see each other.
Why didn't she marry the father of these 3 children? He possibly was married, unwilling to marry her, or he died before they could marry.
Further research is needed, and the key will be maps of the census districts for Tazwell Co. to see exactly which male Gillespies on the 1850 Tazewell Co. Maiden Spring District were living near Laurel Gap in Pounding Mill or the community of Gillespie. | GILLESPIE, Thomas (I3896)

She and her aunt Mary Doak are frequently confused with each other. Her aunt married John Tate who lived and died in Augusta Co. She's also confused with her cousin, Mary Doak, daughter of Robert Doak. Cousin Mary married Robert Breckenridge. To make matters worse, Mary is confused with Mary Mitchell who married Col. John Tate of Augusta Co. VA who settled in Russell Co. VA. The two Johns are frequently mixed up.
It's difficult to untangle the Mary Doaks within these two generations along with the John Tates. Between the brothers, sisters, and cousins having the same names it becomes a knotty mess to sort out.

It's possible she was Abner Weatherly's second wife.
