Misc		DNA Matches good. BUT not her maiden name. Same matches as William Noland b1720.
Misc		Parents unknown. I get 0 DNA matche for the next generation, generatlly thought to be John Tillman Sylvara (1695-1776). Not a good sign, but also not a surprise at that distance in time. This means we have no evidence for her maiden name and it is apparently considered dubious.

Thomas Doster, II

M, #1727, b. about 1729, d. 1826

Thomas Doster II grew up in the Winchester vicinity, engaged in farming like almost everybody else and when his father died in 1748 he inherited 200 acres of land. As shown in his life sketch, he removed at some time to Culpepper Court House, Va. and presumably died there, although he may have been killed in the American Revolution, in which he served 2 years. He married and had a number of children. He may even have married twice. Records are fragmentary except as to his son John Doster, born 1770 (perhaps the son of a second marriage, perhaps not), and from here forward the line is documented by Bible records in the possession of Mrs. Marie Doster Eberts of Zanesville, Ohio and Mr. J. B. Doster of Springfield, Ohio.

"... be equally divided betwixt my five children, Mary, John, William Henry and Samuel " 3) A 1770 deed- (Frederick County Deed Book 13, page 538) names Thomas Doster and his wife Mary. 4) Ruth was undoubtedly the daughter of Thomas Doster, who, along with William and Henry Crumley, is referred to as one of John Crumley's "beloved brothers" (Frederick County Deed Book 12, page 352, 1768) Then theree is confirming DNA.²
Death	1826	Not known when or where he died.¹

Misc		Children. Doster Genealogy by Doster only knows of the last three children: Sarah, John, and Mary. There is not a large gap between the last three and the first three so no reason there to think Mary Crumley is not the mother of Ruth Doster. Addition: DNA confirms the mother of Catherine and John, at least, is the same as Ruth's mother.¹

Death		Findagrave has Mary Crumley Doster dying in 1787 in Harrison County, Ohio. This is sometimes quoted but where is the evidence? That date is awfully early for being in Ohio. Catherine Doster Noland and John Doster did move to Ohio. William Doster died in Virginia. John Doster went to Ohio in 1810.^3,1

Misc		Parents: James Crumley and Catharine. Named in her father's will, as was Ruth Doster.³
Misc		Possible marriage to Jesse Faulkner. “NOTES ON MY FAMILY” Written by Aaron H. Griffith, 1872 My grandfather John Griffith 2nd married Mary Faulkner daughter of Jesse Faulkner and Mary his wife. Mary Faulkner was the daughter of James Cromley and his wife Catherine. James Cromley lived on Apple Pie Ridge on land he bought from his father-in-law Davie Gilkie. This land was originally granted by the King to our kinsmen James Wright and John Litler in 1734 who sold it to John Cheadle the eminent Friend who lived in eastern Virginia. John Cheadle sold it to David Gilkie who as I have said sold it to his son-in-law James Cromley, who in turn, willed it to his son John Cromley. John Cromley sold it to his brother-in-law Jesse Faulkner who sold it in 1778 to his son-in-law John Griffith. There my father was born, and there I was born on the 11th of the 3rd Mo. 1802. -------------------------------- MARY2 CRUMLEY (JAMES1) was born 1737 in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and died Unknown.She married (1) JESSE FOLKNER, son of NICOLAS FALCONER/FAULKNER and JANE OR SEBALAH NEWTON.He died Unknown.She married (2) THOMAS DOSTER, JUNIOR 1756 in Frederick County, Virginia.He died Unknown. She married (3) JOHN HEBERLING 22 October 1806 in Frederick County, Virginia.He died Unknown. JN This is wrong. + 11. Mary Crumley was born on May 26, 1782 in Berkeley, Charles City Co., VA. She died on March 12, 1864 in Harrison Co., OH. She married John Heberling on October 26, 1806 in Frederick Co., VA. He was born on July 26, 1776. He died in 1864. -------------- More on the Faulkner: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-386956 Based on a claim made in 1872 by Aaron H. Griffith that Jesse Faulkner (Jr) was the brother-in-law of John Crumley, Hannah was said to be a Faulkner. The only supporting source for the claim seems to be that John and Hannah Crumley sold land to Jesse Faulkner (Jr) before leaving for South Carolina. A careful reading of the entry makes it far more likely that John Crumley, at least as referenced in the short biography, was a brother-in-law of Jesse Faulkner via the Crumley family not the Faulkner: “My grandfather John Griffith 2nd married Mary Faulkner daughter of Jesse Faulkner and Mary his wife. Mary Faulkner was the daughter of James Cromley and his wife Catherine...[James's son] John Cromley sold [land] to his brother-in-law Jesse Faulkner..." A more likely possibility than Faulkner is that Hannah was the daughter of Benjamin and Jemima Inman. The Inmans were Quakers who were in Frederick County, Virginia, at least from 1752 (when Benjamin witnessed Absalom Haworth's will) to 1767 when he sold his right to a land grant on Back Creek and moved to what would become Newberry County, South Carolina.^4,5
