OKLAHOMA/TEXAS DOAKES

OKLAHOMA/TEXAS DOAKES

I am looking for information on the Doakes from Texas to Oklahoma.

From looking at the Doakes line that brother (George) Doake married Nettie Faye Griffin and sister (Dorothy Doake) married Edgar Ira Griffin, brother to Nettie Faye.

I would like to confirm the backward line from George to George Washington to Jefferson W. Doake (versus Daniel -- which didn't work with my research) to William J, to Alexander A., etc.

Any help would be appreciated, especially when research is substantiated with sources. Thanks so much.

Jane Griffin

I don't know if this is the same line of Doakes but, my grandfather was born with some of his brothers and sisters in Paris, Texas. Their father according to his death certificate read Wilson Doakes and his mother was Betty Edwards. But on the 1910 census it read Willis Doakes. But, my grandfather was Dennis Flynn below is some of his siblings and there may be others. We don't know if Betty Edwards is a first wife or a second wife. Most were born in the late 1800's
Matilda, Ferdinand(Fred), Lafayette(Fate),Nora, Arizona,Mattie, Caroline. Most of them had settled around the Newalla, Oklahoma area. My grandfather and two of his brothers and one of his sisters are buried in Beggs, Oklahoma. WE are planning on having a family reunion for the Doakes who are descendents of Wilson Doakes in Oklahoma City, August 12, 2006, Edwards Park, beginning at 1:00 p.m. it will be "free". We are trying to figure how many others there were. La Juan Lewis

There is a possibility. My grandfather was Dennis Flynn Doakes he had the following brothers and sisters,
Fred(Ferdinand), Lafayette, Matilda, Caroline, Nora, Arizona, Ambrose. They all lived in the Newalla, Oklahoma area. My grandfather and 2 brothers and a sister moved to Beggs and Okmulgee, Oklahoma which is south of Tulsa. Their father was named Wilson Doakes and their mother was Bettie which were all around the Newalla. They were born in Tennessee. Do any of these folks names are any part of your family history that you know about?
We are having a family reunion the second weekend in August of 2008 here in Oklahoma City.

Do you know if any of them were born in Tennessee? My greatgrandfather Wilson (possibly William )Doakes was born in Tennessee. I am wondering if this is the same family. There was a William born the same year as stated on the 1910 census and we are not sure how accurate the information was but, by grandfather's death certificate stated that his father's name was Wilson. I have looked at census reports and have found that he and his wife Bettie Edwards were born in Tennessee around about 1845 we are not sure if Bettie was a first wife or second. They moved to Paris, Texas at some point that is were my grandfather was born and some of his siblings. We are having a family reunion the second weekend in August here in Oklahoma City let me know if you would like further information.

Wilson Doake is not in the same line as Jefferson Doake.Jefferson was born in Missouri.
Wilson is a cousin from way back there. decending from David Doake from Ireland.Jefferson was my G Uncle. He married Mary Jane Green in Montague county, Texas, and they are both buried in Sandy Bear Cemetery in Stephens county, Ok. along with 2 of their children.
I hope this helps you.
