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

Keep in mind: Confirmed. Note (10) on p. 136 corrects 'John' to 'Jonathan' for this entry only; Hanson's narrative on pp. 127-128 still says 'John Oakes'. Identification with Jonathan Oak b. 1717 of Marlborough rests on the Oak register (1906) and the tree's chain (Westborough, Stow, Harvard, Canaan), not on this page (Unconfirmed).
