How it is shown: Complete frame; no crop, no retouch, no search highlight.
Keep in mind: Heading and debts table Confirmed; item wording in columns 1-3 Likely and many values not read; the right edge is cut by the frame. Nothing in this case names Nathaniel Oak of Westborough or his family; no widow, child or administrator named in these frames and no tie to Nathaniel Oak shown; it is shown here as a probate record of the surname, linked to its own research source and not to a person in the tree.
