How it is shown: Original image, unaltered; no crop, no retouch, no search highlight.
Keep in mind: Likely. That this Capt. Nathaniel Oak is the Nathaniel of 1751 (widowed in 1801) rests on the title Capt., the residence at Chelsea and the date after Susannah's death; Elizabeth Gates is not in the tree. The officiant's name is an uncertain reading.
