How it is shown: Complete page as supplied; no crop, no retouch, no search highlight.

Keep in mind: Printed attribution confirmed; whether this Capt. Seth Oaks is the Winchendon and Athens man is a separate question (Likely: other records name Capt. Seth Oak's artificers in 1777-1778). The entry names Dutton at Brandywine; it is not a roll naming Seth there. The page also prints other members' lineages that are not tagged. Label: Unconfirmed.
