  Notes	He sold his possessions in North Carolina in 1779, and started for Kentucky. He came on to New River, in Virginia, and purchased a tract of land and remained there to 1785. He did this in consequence of the times being so perilous and troublesome that he could not then get through the wilderness with his family. He sold his plantation there in the fall of 1785 and moved to Sumner County, which was made a county that year, arriving here on the 20th of November, 1785. He settled near Bledsoe's Lick, Sumner county, Tennessee. --- Thankful Doak Married Major William Hall and lived in Surry County, NC several years before Revolution.
