Hello Boak researchers, >From the outset I must state that I am not a descendant of the Boaks of Peacockbank, or a researcher; the submitted notes were compiled as a result of a request for assistance posted on the CTI website. Remarkably, it was possible to locate some relevant data. The information looked useful enough for the CTI website and am delighted that there has been a positive response. Many thanks to my friend and correspondent Bernie Donaghey (now Gamble) for the gravestone inscriptions which add flesh to the bones of the long-gone Boaks. Thank you Bernie! William raises the references in my files to the 1824 marriage of Aaron Boak to Miss Crockett (daughter of William) of Edenmore; the Crocketts of Edenmore, Clonleigh parish, Co. Donegal were a family of long-standing in the county. Belinda Mahaffy refers to this family in her history of Ballindrait Presbyterian Church (located in Ballindrait village, Clonleigh parish) in her book “A History of Ballindrait Church and its People” published by the congregation in 2008. The Crocketts arrived in Edenmore in 1790, having come from the glebe lands of Bogay, All Saints parish where they had lived for three generations. The legendary Davy Crockett was a kinsman – his forebears having emigrated in 1709. Bernie draws our attention to the Moores and their probable relationship to the Boaks and a marriage of 1846; here are the details: Urney Presbyterian Church #6 July 9 1846 JAMES MOORE full age bachelor merchant Sion Mills Father: JOHN MOORE farmer & CATHERINE WOODS full age spinster Glentimon Father: JAMES WOODS farmer Witnesses: ALEXANDER MITCHELL & JAMES ADAMS William, you write that you have been waiting for five or six years for any information – such a long wait and regrettable. Am hoping that other researchers aren’t waiting any length of time for the possibility of any useful data going up on the website. Researchers, please don’t hesitate in making your interests known to others and post a message. This is a brilliant website! Trust this helps someone, Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia

A friend of mine is a direct descendent of Davey Crockett. She would likely find this useful.
