Hi Brian

Just been looking at your Dowling site...fantastic to have found somebody
who not
only is a probable family connection (somewhere way back) but also is
researching
(and in Laois) and uses the web.

I'm Mark Dooling, based in Bracknell, Berkshire (I'm guessing you're in
England).
I too have sites that may interest you as follows:-
http://www.redblue.com/dooling/family.htm
http://www.redblue.com/familyhistory.html

I also look after the IRLGenWeb research jump site dedicated to our
"homeland":
http://www.redblue.com/laoisgen

I am very keen to make contact and to query your Dowling/Dooling/Doolan
data.
I trace my own branch of the Doolings back to Laois 1846...reasonable
estimate of the
birth year of my g-g-grandfather Daniel Doolin in Laois - he was brought to
England
(Yorkshire) by his widow mother Elizabeth as a child. All I know about his
father is
that his name was Thomas Dooling/Doolin/Doolan/Dowling, he was a stone-mason
in
Ireland, he died before 1851, he married a woman called Elizabeth (who
according to
the Bradford census was from Laois, as was Daniel)....but there my trail
stops dead -
apart, of course from the more ancient history of our illustrious sept - the
Septs of
Leix, the Leinster Kings and all that (some of which you'll see detailed at
my site
above)....

OHAS (the genealogy research society in Ossory) are looking into it for me
but if you
have data on Laois - WOW! Can you check it out for me?

I'll willingly supply you with the full line from Daniel to present day in
return.

Looking forward to making contact- all help gratefully received.

Kind regards

While looking at Wilkes County, GA, estate records, I found some entries dealing with the estate of Col. John Dooly, who was killed in 1780 in Wilkes Co., Ga. It appears that his widow, Dianah, remarried. I had not seen this before and thought you descendants of Dianah and the Colonel might be interested.

Dianna must have remarried after John's death but before 1787. A bond dated June 18, 1787, on the estate of John Dooly lists "Dinah Griffin" and George Dooly as administrators; M. Williamson as security; amount of
bond - 300 pounds. Wilkes Co., Georgia, records. We know that (Col.) George Dooly was John's brother.

The 1790 Tax returns for Captain Hughes' District, Wilkes County, Georgia, shows that George and Dianna lived next to one another.

61 George Dooley (N-1), Wilkes Co., 1180 acres
62 Dianna Griffin (N-1), Wilkes Co., 800 acres
63 Elizth. Mitchell (N-3), Wilkes Co., 1175 acres
64 William Bibb, Wilkes Co., 3222 acres

I include the Mitchell and Bibb reference here because these families, along with the Griffins and Stovalls, helped each other in many land transactions and lived near each other. Elizth. Mitchell was probably the widow of Thomas Mitchell. She, like George Dooley, had a good deal of land-probably due to Rev. War service land grants. Thomas was dead by 1788 -- on April 4, 1788 a bond of 350 pounds was administered by Elizabeth Mitchell and secured by George Dooly. This Mitchell family might be the source of the "Mitchell" name among the Dooly family.
Where did the Mitchells come from before arriving in Wilkes Co.?

An example of the family connections; "Early Georgia Wills and Settlements of Estates - Wilkes Co" has an abstract of the will of Owen Griffin, Jr., dated Aug. 5, 1789; proved April 3, 1790; To wife Ann all estate during her widowhood for her use and for my children. Exors: Josiah and Benjamin Stovall my brothers-in-law. Wit; Ephraim Rucker,
Richard Griffin.

This will abstract proves that Owen Griffin Jr. married Ann Stovall. I began to wonder who the Richard Griffin was..... and I think I found him in "Abbeville (SC) Marriages (1780-1879) Implied in Equity Records."

In this source there is an entry for "Griffin, Richard m. Amelia Sims (daughter of Nathan Sims; married about 1780-1785; her first marriage) (Griffin died about 1799 in Lincoln Co., Ga.) Dianah Dooly Griffin died in Lincoln Co., too. Perhaps she married a member of this Griffin
family. Does anyone have a firm death date for Dianah?

Just a couple ideas for thought!

Hi Dooly List

Several years ago I visited Wallace State College in Hanceville, AL.
Robert Davis, head of the Genealogy Dept had once done some sort of paper
on Col. John Dooly. He had a box of papers there called the Dooly box
that he allowed people to rummage through at will. In that box were
numerous letters back and forth about what might be the connection of
these very individuals that we are now wondering about - the Mitchells
and the Doolys.

For what it's worth here are some excerpts from some of the letters.
Perhaps someone can make better sense out of them than I.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One letter stated; Here are the facts that we have. Colonel John Dooly
had a wife named Diana and children named John "Jack"(??), Thomas,
Susannah, and John Mitchell Dooly. A neighbor and close associate of
Col. John Dooly was Thomas Mitchell, who had been a Lieutenant in the
same company in the 3rd Georgia Continental Battalion as Dooly's brothers
Thomas and George Dooly. Mitchell and these Doolys were inseparable.
Col. John had two grandchildren named Diana M. and Mary M. Bond. We have
never found absolute proof of what the M. stood for.

The enclosed documented materials will show that since I corresponded
with Mr. __, we have learned that the above Thomas Mitchell was married
to Elizabeth Dooly, sister of Col. John, George, Thomas, and probably a
William and a Robert Dooly. After Thomas Mitchell died in 1789 in Wilkes
County GA (later Lincoln Co., GA), his widow, Elizabeth Dooly Mitchell,
married Thomas Bibb and with Col. George Dooly they all moved to Kentucky
around 1792. These matters are a bit further confused by the fact that
this Thomas Mitchell had a son named John Dooly Mitchell while in 1805
ANOTHER Thomas Mitchell died who ALSO had a son named John Dooly
Mitchell, whose attorney by the way was John Mitchell Dooly, son of Col.
John Dooly.

All of the above we have proven. Now some speculation comes in. I am
convinced that Col. John Dooly was married to Diana MITCHELL, whom I
speculate was the niece of the Thomas Mitchell who died in 1789 and the
sister of the Thomas Mitchell who died in 1805. I also believe that
Diana was the daughter of Robert and Tanner Mitchell of Abbeville, SC.
The enclosed goes into more detail. Diana is not mentioned in Tanner
Mitchell's will nor are her Dooly children. However, Tanner Mitchell
does mention a grandson named James Griffin. Diana Dooly married
Randolph (Randal) Griffin after the Revolution. (Col. John Dooly was
murdered by Loyalists in the late 1780's). We can prove Diana's marriage
to Griffin."

NOTE; None of the enclosures were with this letter at the time I found
it.

I am new to this list so am not familiar with previous postings.

My ggGrandfather Richard Dooly was born in Queens County (now Laois or
Leix), Ireland in 1804. He married Catherine Hickey in Ireland, had three
children there (Patrick, Thomas and John) and then immigrated to the US,
settling in Green County, Wisconsin. They had four more children in
Wisconsin: Richard, Mary, Edmund and James.

Richard and some of his children spelled their name "Dooly" and others
"Dooley," though the latter is the used by all the family today.

All of their children had big families and most stayed in the Green
County/Rock County areas of Wisconsin.

I am most interested in learning the names of Richard's parents and where he
was born in Ireland.

If anyone has any information on this family, I would appreciate your
contacting me.

ANOTHER Thomas Mitchell died who ALSO had a son named John Dooly
Mitchell, whose attorney by the way was John Mitchell Dooly, son of Col.
John Dooly.

All of the above we have proven. Now some speculation comes in. I am
convinced that Col. John Dooly was married to Diana MITCHELL, whom I
speculate was the niece of the Thomas Mitchell who died in 1789 and the
sister of the Thomas Mitchell who died in 1805. I also believe that
Diana was the daughter of Robert and Tanner Mitchell of Abbeville, SC.
The enclosed goes into more detail. Diana is not mentioned in Tanner
Mitchell's will nor are her Dooly children. However, Tanner Mitchell
does mention a grandson named James Griffin. Diana Dooly married
Randolph (Randal) Griffin after the Revolution. (Col. John Dooly was
murdered by Loyalists in the late 1780's). We can prove Diana's marriage
to Griffin."

NOTE; None of the enclosures were with this letter at the time I found
it.

stay tuned............. continued...............

I am new to this list so am not familiar with previous postings.

My ggGrandfather Richard Dooly was born in Queens County (now Laois or
Leix), Ireland in 1804. He married Catherine Hickey in Ireland, had three
children there (Patrick, Thomas and John) and then immigrated to the US,
settling in Green County, Wisconsin. They had four more children in
Wisconsin: Richard, Mary, Edmund and James.

Richard and some of his children spelled their name "Dooly" and others
"Dooley," though the latter is the used by all the family today.

All of their children had big families and most stayed in the Green
County/Rock County areas of Wisconsin.

I am most interested in learning the names of Richard's parents and where he
was born in Ireland.

If anyone has any information on this family, I would appreciate your
contacting me.
